MSN + Love = Unreal

Chapter 6

A/N: a review told me that I should put names before the conversation, because it's really confusing of who said what, so I'll do it that way.

"Hey Tea," Mai called in her usual cool but rich voice. Tea turned around and stood there, waited for Main to catch up with her.

"Hi Mai," Tea smiled. "Haven't seen you in days, what are you up to?"

"Uh, you know me, shopping, dueling, and stuff." Mai glared over Tea's hair and said carelessly. "You definitely have to get a new haircut, girlfriend!"

"Oh, yes, I guess so." Tea said awkwardly. //can Mai get any more annoying or what? // Tea thought in a pissed mood. //Joey really has a dog brain to like her, jeesh.//

"Hey Tea, I was just talking to Miho a moment ago, she said you've got a b-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d, is this true? Are you and Yugi finally decided to go out?" Mai winked at Tea as she said that.

"Thanks for spell that out for me, Mai" Tea said sarcastically. "Me and Yugi are just friends, and I don't have a b-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d, can't believe you actually trust what Miho has to say."

"Oh, oh well, if you got a you-know-what, call me!" Mai waved and winked. She walked, "I've got things to do, talk to you on msn tonight, bye sweetheart!"

Tea sighed, she turned and starting to walk home, but while she was walking, she thought sweetly, "well, I've got a you-know-what to talk to later."

............

Tea opened her msn impatiently, that stupid thing just won't work sometimes.

Signing in - success - advertisement

Tea glared at her msn list, not many people were on, but MRM and Mai were on, but Tea couldn't wait to talk to MRM, so she ignore all those who were online.

Tea: hiya.

Just when Tea was about to press the "send" button, another window popped up.

Mai: hey, hun. (Hun as in Honey, I usually use "Hon", but some I'm-so-smart people told me to use "Hun", so I'll use it here.)

Tea frowned, she minimized Mai's window and press "send" to MRM.

Tea: hi Mai, how are you?

Mai: I thought you are never going to reply, I'm pretty good, wha'cha doing?

Tea: just talking.

Mai: to who?

Tea: well, this guy who I met on Internet... and...

Tea started to blur out about how she knew MRM, it was always an interesting and memorable thing for Tea to talk about. She felt really good. Ever since the "Miho event", she felt that MRM is more close to her than before. While talking to Mai, Tea was talking to MRM about her school, her thoughts, and her dreams. It was weird, sometimes those were the things that you couldn't even tell your best friend, but you can just easily tell a stranger about it.

Strange how this world had became.

Mai: ohhhhh... I see, how cute!

Tea: uh, yeah, I guess.

Tea looked at the screen, suddenly she got an idea. The conversation between her and MRM was always too serious, maybe she could add some colour to it. Tea added Mai to the conversation between her and MRM.

Tea: hiya, ^^

Tea: let's me introduce you two to each other. MRM, this is Mai, one of my friends. Mai, this is MRM, the guy I was telling you about.

Mai: hey there!

MRM: hi.

Mai: creepy e-mail address you got there, lol.

MRM: stupid e-mail address you have.

Tea laughed, she knew MRM never meant to be funny, he was just telling the truth, still, Tea thought it was funny how he dared to say something like that to Mai. Though Tea never really thought Mai's e-mail address as "stupid", it was just Mai's style: fancy_kiss@hotmail.com (please don't sue me if anyone out there actually has this e-mail address, I swear I made it up...)

Mai: oh yeah? Just how stupid is it?

MRM: how creepy is my e-mail address?

Mai: I asked first.

MRM: so what?

Mai: didn't you ever learn that lady's first?!

MRM: so answer me first.

Tea felt the whole conversation was heating up, she put her fingers on the keyboard, it was time to say something.

Mai: look hun, play by the rules, answer me first.

MRM: I never play by the rules if it's not necessary.

Tea: hey, let's just talk...

Mai: hmp! What a guy, can't even take a joke.

MRM: I tried, but I didn't find it funny.

Mai: well well, with an attitude I see, I like guys with an attitude, ^.~

MRM: you change face pretty fast.

Mai: that's me, got a problem?

MRM: not my business.

Tea smiled awkwardly in the front of her computer, // jee, Mai sure can't get along with anyone... //

Tea: right, Mai, MRM knows a lot about duel monsters! You might find that interesting...

Mai: really?

MRM: but I don't play along morals with their stupid rules.

Mai: oh I see, mind to have a duel right now with me, the 'moral'?

MRM: if you can handle it.

Mai: bring it on, sweetie!

As Mai and MRM started the duel, Tea found it was really hard to keep up with a duel on MSN. Boring, without any holograms, nobody even bother to explain to her, and she didn't know half of the cards that Mai and MRM played. Tea sighed frustratedly, an annoyed frown followed up and stayed on Tea's face.

Tea watched Mai and MRM chatted happily with their 'interest' in common. She wanted to talk, but didn't know where to jump in. she wanted to talk to MRM alone, but she knew it wasn't nice to interrupt him while he was dueling.

Tea wondered if MRM would care or notice if she leaves.

For a strange reason, the annoyance Tea had for Mai a long time ago started to float up again. // Mai is so annoying, I'm supposed to talk to MRM right now, but nooo, she has to jump in and have a duel, it's obvious that she's losing. //

Tea was scared by her sudden thought, // what's happening to me? Mai IS a FRIEND, dammit Tea! And it was YOU who add her to the conversation, what are you thinking?! You are not that kind of girl who can be jealous of nothing! Stop the stupid thought!//

Tea sighed again, maybe they wouldn't care if I leave, nobody will care, nobody cares anyways.

...............

Tea: well, you guys have fun, I got to go.

Mai: I play monster reborn and bring back my Harpy Lady!

MRM: Don't you have any other monsters? Wait 'till I destroy it.

Mai: I'd like to see you try this time.

...............

Tea closed MSN furiously, tears mixed with anger and sadness crowded in her eye banks, sliding down silently, thoughts came into Tea's head one after another. The feeling of being ignored was humiliating and thwart.

// Why is it that I care too much? Why am I crying? For what? Mai IS my friend, and I'm just introducing her to MRM, who is my FRIEND also, what's wrong with that? They are getting along well, very well... I should be happy, right? //

Tea forced a smile for herself, "sure, I should be happy. Two of my friends are getting along very well."

//... And they didn't notice me leaving is probably because they were in a duel, right...//

Tea was worried, she worried maybe she wasn't the special girl to her special someone. But how could you know? If you never told, or asked, how could you ever know the answer you were waiting for? And how could you tell about your feelings towards someone? Maybe it was just resulted from your stupidity... and... as for the answers to the many questions... only you could know.

People went through a lot to answer the questions, some people even spend their whole lives to just find the answer, but in the end... the treasure always lied in the front of them, and they can only watch it disappears in time... This wasn't a treasure hunt, but treasures weren't always gold or silver...
