Author's note: ok. here's the second chapter. it's kind of mushy. but it
should be good to read! Thanks to all that reviewed my first chapter, I'm
really happy about that. don't expect the third chapter this week because
mid-terms start tomorrow. I shouldn't be uploading this right now, but I
just felt like getting this up before anything else. Read and review
please! There's also a disclaimer on this story. only Katrina belongs to
me. basically, I am her.
Chapter Two: Sparks Fly
Tèa led Katrina over to Room 259, where she spotted Yugi in the second row.
"Hey Yugi!"
Yugi looked up. Katrina liked what she saw right away. Yugi might have been short, maybe by 5 or 6 inches, but she found his amethyst eyes and the different colors of his hair very attractive. He also had a chain around his neck, which was connected to what looked like an upside down pyramid. Yugi walked over to them, taking note of Katrina.
"Hi! Are you a new student here?"
"Yes, hi, and my name's Katrina."
She smiled at him and he smiled back in return.
"Yugi, Katrina's in your homeroom, so can you help her get settled here? I have to go to my homeroom before I get marked late. And we all have a free period, so we can all meet at the library then."
"Don't worry about Katrina, I'll help her," Yugi called out to Tea as she made her way to her own homeroom.
After that, Yugi turned to Katrina.
'So, what's your last name?"
After Katrina told him (A/N: I'm sorry, but I don't want to give my real last name away and I'm too lazy to make up another last name for myself right now. maybe later I'll come up with one!), Yugi said,
"You sit behind me then, but there aren't enough seats. I guess we'll just have to wait until the teacher gets here."
Ten minutes later, Katrina was sitting at a desk behind Yugi, staring at the back of his head. Not because she had a crush on him, well, she did, but really out of boredom. Morning announcements were going on, and the announcer had the dullest voice she had ever heard. Katrina would have been doing homework, but since she was new, she didn't have anything to do. Her eyes drifted down to her schedule. She noted that the schedules at Domino High were much simpler than that of her previous school. Yugi turned around to her.
"Hey, do you want to see my schedule? Maybe we'll have some classes together."
He handed her his schedule and Katrina quickly looked through both.
"We have a free period first, as Tea said," Katrina noted happily.
"Let's see," Yugi said taking a closer look at their schedules.
"I think we have history, English, gym and physics together," Katrina added.
Their homeroom teacher looked at the two annoyingly. Although talking was allowed, they were getting louder than they should have. Katrina and Yugi were getting along very well, considering they've only known each other for a little more than ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes later, Katrina, Joey, Tristan, Yugi and Tea had all claimed computers in the library's computer lab. The four usually didn't go there since they usually dueled in an empty classroom, but Tea insisted on showing Katrina parts of the school before Duel Monsters.
"Learning about Duel Monsters will not help if she's not with any of us and she gets lost in the school," Tea stated earlier during the school tour. None of them were doing much on the computers except for Katrina, who had put a CD in the drive and headphones into a slot in the speakers. As she listened to the music in it, Tea couldn't help but notice that Yugi was glancing hopefully at Katrina every few moments. Tea grinned. It was very clear of what was going on. As a good friend, Tea wheeled over to Yugi and tapped his shoulder lightly.
'Yes, Tea?"
"You keep on stealing glances at Katrina. do something about it!" she exclaimed softly.
"But I'm not the type to walk up to a girl, say I have a crush on her and ask her out," Yugi protested.
'You don't have to exactly ask her out. just ask her if she wants you to show her around Domino."
"Good cover, Tea," Joey said absentmindedly as he typed up an e-mail. Tea gave Joey a questioning look, then turned back to Yugi.
"Just try it when you next talk to her. I don't think she'd turn you down," Tea said assuredly.
Yugi smiled.
"Thanks, Tea."
"Hey, what are friends for?" she said as she wheeled back over to her computer.
Yugi took another glance at Katrina, who was quietly singing words to a song. Katrina sensed somebody was watching her and glanced around. Seeing it was Yugi looking at her in an adorable sort of way, she returned a smile and turned back to the computer. She had butterflies in her stomach, and it was making her quieter than usual. If it weren't for the butterflies, Yugi and she would be talking, rather than just exchanging smiles.
The school day eventually came to a close, and Katrina was hastily packing her books to bring home with Tea at her side talking.
"How was your first day here?"
Katrina, as she closed her locker combination, said, "It's pretty different from my old school, but I'm not complaining much."
She stood up and swung her coat and backpack on her.
"I'm ready," she announced.
Yugi, on the other side of the hallway at his locker, took the chance to approach the two girls. Going through the crowd, he walked over to them.
"Katrina? Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Tea turned to Katrina.
"See you tomorrow, Katrina." Tea said as she stepped outside the school.
"Bye Tea!" Katrina answered, waving.
Katrina waited for Yugi to put on his jacket and backpack before they walked out into the somewhat chilly January air.
"So, when did you move to Domino?" Yugi asked.
"Umm. five days ago. all unpacking and furniture moving, not too pleasant so far," Katrina said, shrugging.
"Have you been able to take a look around town yet?" Yugi asked somewhat nervously, hoping Katrina wouldn't laugh at what he'd say.
"Not really, the local parish, food stores and the uniform center, but that's it, really."
"I can show you around, if you have the time," Yugi offered.
"I'd like that, but I'll have to see if I'm needed at home. Can you wait a minute?"
After a quick phone call, her parents let her take a break from fixing the house. Katrina and Yugi ventured into the commercial area of Domino. First they dropped off their backpacks at the Game Shop, where Yugi, his mom and grandpa lived. They went out to eat afterwards and then took a walk about town, with Yugi pointing out notable places. As they walked by the park, Katrina said something she'd been meaning to say for the last few minutes.
"It's said Domino's a town, but it's practically a city."
Yugi laughed.
"Defend your point."
"My family landed in Domino Airport, you showed me there's a museum and there's a skyscraper out there," she said, pointing off in the distance.
Yugi looked in the direction she was pointing at and recognized it right away.
'That's Kaibacorp, a high-technological company," Yugi explained sorrowfully, thinking back to when he lost a duel to Kaiba in Duelists' Kingdom.
"Kaibacorp?"
"Yeah, the CEO of the company, Seto Kaiba, is in the same grade as we are. He's also an excellent duelist," Yugi said as they made their way back to the Game Shop.
"Yugi, can you tell me more about dueling? I remember you and Joey discussing it earlier today, but I still don't get it."
"I'll tell you all about it once we get back to my house. did your parents put you on curfew?"
"7. No later and it's 5 o clock right now."
"That's good. Come on, he sooner we get there, the better."
His right hand reached for her left hand and they quickly made their way back to the Game Shop.
