"SERENITY!?"
"Uh... Joey..."
"Where the hell were you?!"
Tea frowned. "She was at MY house, Joey..."
"What the- Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're too overprotective. You'd have asked her to come back!"
Joey looked hurt. "I am NOT overprotective."
Their classmates watched the argument with interest. Their teacher hadn't arrived yet.
"Yes you are, Joey!"
"Whadd'ya mean Tea?! I am NOT!"
Seto Kaiba sat in the corner. He was still angry at poor Serenity. He sulked as he listened to the conversation.
"YA KNOW WHAT, TEA?!! I think you're being a BITCH!"
The class was silent. Tea looked at Joey, teary-eyed and stunned. "You can't take any criticism, Joey! You think you're SO perfect! I HATE you Joey Wheeler!" She ran out into the hallway. Serenity ran after her, dismayed that her failed relationship could cause all of this trouble.
"Hey Joey! You really shouldn't have said that to Tea..."
"Aw... come on Yug... you have to admit... she was being really annoying... what I said was true. I'm not overprotective, am I Yug?"
"..."
"Am I?!" Joey grasped Yugi's collar, glaring at him with angry eyes. "AM I YUGI?!"
Yugi gasped. Joey had suddenly become mean and scary.
"Er... Joey... I think you're hurting him..."
Joey let go of Yugi and turned so he was face to face with Ryou Bakura.
"Wanna make something of it, Brit-boy?!!"
"Uh... no thank you?..." said Ryou fearfully.
"Joey? Get a hold of yourself!" yelled Duke. "I am TOTALLY in agreement with Tea! You ARE being horribly irrational with your sister!"
"Ya think so?" Joey growled at Duke.
Seto stopped reading and watched Joey's nervous breakdown with interest.
"So the puppy's finally losing it..." he muttered with a smirk.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY KAIBA?!"
"I would tell you, but I'd get a smarter response out of a wall."
"ALL RIGHT... YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT MR. MONEYBAGS!" He jumped on the CEO and started pounding his head with his fist.
"Shit Joey..." said Tristan amusedly, not bothering to pull the blonde back.
"JOEY! Stop!" Duke, Ryou, and even little Yugi attempted to pull the angry teen off of Seto. Joey aimed blows at the brunettes head. This continued until...
"JOEY! HOW COULD YOU?!" The whole class turned to see Serenity sobbing at the doorway.
"Serenity?" Joey looked at his sister, and then he looked at himself. He was a mess. He stood up and dusted himself off. It was then when he decided to look at Seto.
To say Seto was hurt would be an understatement. The CEO had a black eye and a bloody lip. He had three bloody streaks across his cheeks. His hair was disheveled and his school uniform covered with blood from his lip. He attempted to stand up but found that he couldn't. He glared at Joey with his icy blue stare. "I don't suppose you noticed, Wheeler, but during the whole time you were fighting with me, I didn't hurt you once."
Joey looked down at himself and realized that what Seto said was true. There wasn't a scratch or bruise or anything. In fact, except for the dust on parts of his blue uniform and the few hairs out of place, he looked just the same as he had upon entering the classroom. He looked at his best friends, but the only one who responded in a friendly manner was Tristan. Yugi was holding his neck and staring at the ground. Ryou was looking helpless as he backed away from the blonde. Duke was glaring at Joey, and giving him the middle finger. Tea was standing at the doorway, sobbing.
And then there was Serenity, who had collapsed on the floor crying her heart out. A few kind girls in their class had attempted to comfort her, but to no avail. "Joey..." she whispered softly, "How could you?" She continued to sob on the floor.
Seto managed to get up with the help of Yugi, Ryou, and Duke. He limped to the doorway, not bothering to look at Serenity's saddened eyes or listen to her heartbreaking sobs.
"Where are you going, Kaiba?" Tea asked., "... school is gonna start any second now!"
"Where am I going, Tea? I'm going to hell!" He kept walking, not looking back at his stunned classmates.
"SERENITY!?"
"Uh... Joey..."
"Where the hell were you?!"
Tea frowned. "She was at MY house, Joey..."
"What the- Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're too overprotective. You'd have asked her to come back!"

"Where am I going, Tea? I'm going to hell!" He kept walking, not looking back at his stunned classmates.
