Chapter #6: First Day (III)
*~*~*Reader's POV*~*~*
As the gang left Mr. Hogan's room for lunch in the cafeteria, Joey asked Elaya "How'd you do that?"
"Simple," she replied, "I lifted up the cup on an angle so I could scoop the die inside the cup. That way, nothing was left on the table and I could easily put the die in my hand when everyone was looking at the table."
"Why couldn't I think of that?" Joey muttered to himself.
"Because you can't think at all." Tristan said under his breath. [If looks could kill Tristan...if they could kill] Joey thought giving him the glare of a lifetime.
After they all had gotten their lunch, they sat at the lunch table closet to the exit doors. Elaya was the first to speak.
"Joey...what's your last name?"
"Wheeler, why?" She had heard this name before...then it hit her. "You're the guy that got 2nd place at Duelist Kingdom and 4th at Battle City, right?"
"That's me!" Joey cheered. He was happy that he had a fan.
"Sign my arm...I want your autograph. It's not everyday that you meet a duelist like you." She unbuckled her arm bands and gave him a pen. He was about to write his name down when a familiar voice was heard behind them.
"Why you want that immature dueling monkey to sign your arm is beyond me. You should really save that arm for more important duelists." A tall boy with brown hair and blue eyes said. Joey glared at him.
"Listen egghead," Elaya started, "I let whoever I want sign my arm. If you have a problem with it, take it up with my fist......alright??" Even though he was highly annoying and had a lot of pride in himself, Elaya felt as if she knew him. Their faces looked the same, but the personality she knew of didn't match his.
"Whatever." He just walked away after that.
"Who you calling a monkey?!" Joey called out to him.
"Who was that guy anyways?" Elaya asked. Tristan answered, "Some loser. You don't want to know him. Oh, and Joey isn't the only known duelist sitting here. Meet Yugi Motou [1]. He was 1st place and both Duelist Kingdom AND Battle City." Yugi blushed.
After Joey signed her arm, she made Yugi sign it. She said that this way she could amputate her arm and sell it on E-bay. Everyone had a good laugh at that. Soon, after much talk about the tournaments and Duel Monsters, there were only 5 minutes left for lunch and she realized that none of her friends had Art last on a day one. So, with the help of Yugi and Téa, she found her art room quickly, and not a moment to soon. The bell rang as soon as she entered. Thankfully, no one else had arrived...except for that boy that she met at lunch time. Before she could take a seat, her teacher, Mrs. Polaris, told her that she had a seating plan on the board. [Just my luck.] Elaya thought. [My seat is in front of egghead. Just great.]
Her art room was big, and had art supplies placed everywhere. There were groups of two, one desk facing the other, in columns. Kaiba and her were the first group on the right. He barely noticed her presence as she sat down in front of him. He was reading a book the size of an encyclopedia. It had no writing on the cover...just plain black.
\\ You know, \\ Justi said \\ this boy looks a lot like Priest Seth. \\
// Really? The one that threatened to destroy the world? //
\\ Well, he sure has his personality. \\ Justi considered.
// So you're saying that Seth was as emotionless as a brick wall? //
The rest of the class filed in moments after Elaya did. Mrs. Polaris said the same thing that the rest of her teachers said. She was very young, tall, had red hair and brown eyes. Elaya could tell that her hair was coloured...her roots were showing. Instead of listening to the teacher, Elaya took out a sheet of white paper and began to draw...except, she didn't know what. As she looked up at the boy in front of her, she saw the vision of the Blue Eyes White Dragon again. [Now that is weird!] She thought. However, although she never saw a Blue Eyes White Dragon in combat or even the card, she began to draw it—tracing over the vision.
Kaiba, finally looking up from his book, realized that the girl in front of him was drawing. Although he didn't really care what she was doing, he would rather watch her than listen to his teacher. The only reason why he was in this class was because in order to pass high school, he needed at least one art credit. He looked over to her and saw that she was drawing his most powerful card in his deck, and quite skillfully. Even though he thought this girl was weird, he felt that he knew her as well. That feeling went away when she noticed him staring at her.
"What?" she whispered. After a long pause, he sat back in his chair. "I was just watching you draw." He whispered back. "I like your choice of Duel Monsters."
She smiled, "Thanks. Hey, have you ever seen the wings of a Blue Eyes?"
"Seen it? I own an entire Blue Eyes." He took out his deck and showed her one of his faithful dragons. She stared at the wings hard, and then finished her sketch.
"Is it good?" she asked him, showing the sheet of paper to his face. His eyes went wide. He was no art expert, but the dragon looked almost life- like. [This sketch is perfect. How did she do it if she never saw the card until now?]
The teacher noticing the two of them socializing, said, "If you have anything to say Mr. Kaiba or Ms. White, I'm sure that the entire class would like to hear it too. Especially me." [Kaiba?] She felt as if she knew that last name from somewhere as well.
Elaya calmly looked back at her teacher and said, "We were just discussing the works of Di Vinci and Picasso found around the room. That's all."
The teacher eyed them suspiciously, but didn't do anything. "Your first assignment, that is to be done a separate sheet of paper for Wednesday, is as followed. You and the person in front of you will have to draw me something that you enjoy. This is so everyone can see the different personalities and hobbies of the people around them. You have 30 minutes now...I suggest that you start now."
"Well, I guess that we're done our assignment." Elaya said.
"You like Duel Monsters too?" Kaiba asked.
"No, that's why I drew one and have a deck." He didn't like her sarcasm. "Do you want to bring it home to colour it in? I'm sure that you don't want to give me that card so I could do it."
"Whatever. What type of deck do you have?" he asked.
"It's a mix of all kinds, with a lot of traps and magic cards." She replied.
"Can I see?" he asked. Sighing, she took of her studded belt with the Duel Deck attachment and put a deck with 80 cards and more into his hand. "Knock yourself out." she said.
He scanned her deck. Relatively strong monsters, like the Dark Magician Girl, Summoned Skull and Death Strike [2]. When he reached her Storm Sister and Evil Storm Sister, he threw them down and asked her "What cards are these?" They had an effect because the colour was different.
"Those two are really cool. If you can summon them on the field at the same time, they get a 1000 ATK and DF boost. Also, if they are on the same side of the field, they attack together...having an overall attack power of either 5600, if they aren't summoned at the same time, or 7600 if they are." (Author's note: Remember? Storm Sisters have an attack strength of 2800. THEY ARE MADE UP!) He nodded his head in silence. [She must be an okay duelist.]
The class bell rang, signaling that the day was over. She apologized for calling him an egghead—he didn't respond. She handed him the picture of the Blue Eyes before he left. He tucked it into his pocket and told him he would hand it in the next day one.
"Don't forget to put your name on it! Mine's already there. Bye!" She ran towards her locker. Kaiba knew that he saw her somewhere...But he couldn't put his finger on it. [Why isn't she wearing the right uniform? Odd.] He quickly moved to his locker, took out his briefcase and books, called his chauffer and went home.
*~*~*Elaya's POV*~*~*
"Don't forget to put your name on it! Mine's already there. Bye!" I called out to the boy known as 'Kaiba' as I raced down the hall towards my locker. I put my headphones on and turned on my CD. The song 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns 'n Roses began to play. I reached my locker to see Joey already there.
"Hey Joey." I smiled as I turned my CD player off.
"Hey Elaya. Do you wanna walk home together?" he asked putting the last of his books in his bag.
"Yeah sure. Hold on though." I put my agenda in my bag along with my notes. I have no homework tonight. I quickly closed the lock and continued to walk out of the school doors with Joey.
We walked most of the way in silence, just referring to my first day at this school. We then talked about Duel Monsters. As we turned on our street, he asked me,
"Did you meet anyone interesting today? Besides me, Tristan, Téa and Yug?"
"Actually," I explained, "I did. That boy at the cafeteria...the one that called you a monkey? Well, he's not that bad. I don't see what's wrong with him. Funny, I never caught his first name—just his last. Kaiba...That name rings a bell." Joey almost fainted.
"You probably heard that name on the news or television. He's the one that made Battle City. That guy is loaded...he's the president of KaibaCorp. They make Duel Disks." He was right; she did hear that name on TV.
"Duel Disks?" I have never heard of that term.
"It's kinda like a portable Dueling Area. It fits on your arm. Pretty cool." He explained. "He was nice to you? I find that hard to believe. That guy is as cold as...as..."
"Liquid nitrogen?" I finish.
"I was gonna say an ice cube. But that sounds smarter."
I laugh as he crosses the road to get to his house. I open the door to mine to find my mom on the sofa, covered in papers, watching her soaps.
"Hi honey," she said glancing in the direction of the doorway. "How was your first day? What did you do?"
"Fine...nothing." I dropped my bag in the cupboard and began to arrange my notes in the proper binders.
*~*
[1] I don't know if that is the correct spelling for Yugi's last name. Sorry about that if it isn't! [2] Alright, more of my made up wonders (maybe they are real...) Death Strike is like the girl from X-men 2. Her nails are as sharp as swords and she is a spirit-ghost type. (Her body is made up of smoke.) Her ATK strength is 2100 and a DF of 1750.
I REPEAT THESE MONSTERS ARE MADE UP. I DON"T KNOW IF THEY ARE REAL!! I HAVE A WILD IMAGINATION!!! [Yeah, I know] {Hush.}
Please review! Next chappie coming soon.
