Author- Hello again! It's time for another part to the story! AND It's time
to add a few more things into the mush pot that will make Caitlin's life a
little more...Interesting.
Caitlin- More like miserable...
Author- ^^ You said it not me!
Caitlin- -_-;;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caitlin forced her head through the star P.Js and turned to Tea, who was looking at her history book.
"Tea?"
"Yeah?" She said, not looking up from the book she was reading.
"Uh, I didn't see Mai today."
"She goes to a different school Caitlin. You probably won't see her for a while."
Caitlin huffed, *Great. Just great. *
"We'll see her on the weekend, or at the dance. Whatever comes first."
Caitlin slouched into the bean bag chair. She needed it sooner then that! She promised Megan she'd get her out of there as soon as possible but- the weekend wasn't exactly SOON.
"Isn't there anyway we can get it sooner?" She begged.
"Gosh, what's so special about this necklace anyway? Well, I know that it was your mom gave it to you before you died-" She teased, "But can't you wait a while?"
"Oh it's important to me, very important."
"Well, right now all you have to worry about is school, Mai won't loose jewelry!"
Caitlin just sighed and lay down on the bed, so Tea turned off the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my gosh did you SEE Jennet's shit yesterday!"
"She was soaked to the bone! I wonder who had the guts to do that?"
"I heard it was that new girl."
"The new girl? You mean the one with no last name that came from 'nowhere important'?"
"Yeah that's the one!"
"How on earth did she do that?"
"Didn't you say she soaked her with the hose?"
"No I said that she put water balloons in her locker."
"Hey guys did you hear? That Caitlin girl got detention on the first day!"
Caitlin covered her ears and looked at the floor so as not to hear what they were saying about her or see them staring at her. She groaned when she sat in her seat because everyone crowded around her to hear what happened.
"Shut up." She moaned, "Shut up shut up SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!"
"Hey Caitlin?" Jerry waved. Caitlin just groaned.
"Uh, I wanted to tell you, thanks for not ratting us out."
"Don't mention it. And I mean that. As in don't mention a word to ANYONE."
"Anyway, I've been talking with Jessie and well, we think we'd like you to be a member of our club!"
Caitlin just stared at her blankly, "No- thank you."
"Oh please join Caitlin!"
"Listen, Jerry, I would rather not be stereo typed with a group of people who knocked me into the pool. I'm not just going to say, 'Oh! Of coarse I'm going to join!' Because your leader isn't as high and mighty as you took her to be."
"But-"
"Thank you for inviting me, but I know you only want me to join because of my new (god knows how much I don't want it) rep, and because I am one up on your old leader. So I think not."
"Oh, uh, fine. I'll just tell Jessie and Julie that you don't want to join."
"Good. I appreciate that."
"Ok." She had a look of deep disappointment on her face, but Caitlin didn't care. She knew she was once again being a brat to Jerry, but Jerry had once again picked the wrong time to approach her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lunch wasn't much better either. Almost everyone tried to either make friends, as what her version of the story was, or make her join their club, (all of which she denied, except for the 'Pretty, powder puff, pony princesses', she thought the name was cute.) Jennet wasn't happy about it, and neither was Caitlin.
"Guess what I heard Caitlin." Tea said to Caitlin after shooing away other people, "Jennet called her parents and talked the whole time about CLOTHES. She called for more CLOTHES can you believe it?!"
Caitlin just snorted, "I don't care."
"You don't care? And I assume you 'don't care' about all these people paying attention to you."
"I just want to be left alllloooooonnnne!" She said, closing her eyes and leaning her head against her hand.
"Well it's your fault you pushed Jennet." Tristen laughed.
"I DIDN'T PUSH HER IN FOR THE PUBLISITY I PUSHED HER IN CAUSE SHE SAID I HAD GERMS!" She shouted.
Everyone laughed at her distress, which Caitlin found quite annoying (not to mention rude) and got up from the table.
"Caitlin? Where are you going?" Yugi said, watching her get up.
"I'm going to go blow off some steam."
"Well ok, but be sure to be back for PE"
Caitlin said nothing and walked to the exit, as soon as she got up and flock of people swarmed around her and all Caitlin did was walk faster and cover her ears. Although Tea thought she heard groaning..
When Caitlin finally got away from the people, she sat down at a bench she found in the back of the school. The scenery was nice, the sound was good, now all she needed was a clear head.
"Ok," She said looking around, "This feeling..."
She closed her eyes and wrote down a few words.
"Just want to be alone.
People won't ignore me,
All the people come surround me,
How can I keep a secret?
When I can't even keep my cool
I just want.
To be.
Alone"
She took a deep breath and sang the words softly, "I just want to be alone, but the people won't ignore me, I didn't mean for them to swarm around. Just want to be alone, how can I keep a secret when I can't even keep my cool oh no. I just, want to be, alone."
"Hardly what I'd consider 'blowing off steam."
Caitlin jumped when she heard a voice behind her and quickly crumpled up the evidence. She swung around to see who had the nerve to sneak up on her only to see.
Bakura.
"Oh, it's just you."
Bakura smiled, "Yes, just me."
"Oh no I didn't mean it like that!"
"I know you didn't it's ok."
Caitlin soon realized she had crumpled up her paper and blushed in embarrassment. "Just, writing."
"A song it seemed." He said, glancing at her paper, "An interesting one too. You know when most people blow off steam they hit something, or someone. I should know."
"Well, I was never very strong when I was little, so whenever I punched something I was embarrassed. So one day when I was mad, I made a song about it to sing for dinner money and the habit stuck. I guess I've become good at it by now."
"Well it seems to be most effective, doesn't look like you are as steamed with those stalkers anymore."
"Oh I'm still steamed, just not as much." She smiled.
"So you make songs? Just like that?"
"Yeah. It's the only thing people will pay me to do."
She seemed to become a little sadder when she said this. Apparently she didn't like talking about what she did to stay alive on the streets.
"It was important to think of a good song or I'd have to steal money."
//Not that there is anything wrong with stealing.//
/Shut up Yami./
The bell rang to signal the end of lunch, Caitlin's best subject. She slowly uncrumpled her paper and looked at the words which seemed to have rubbed off a little in her hurry to conceal them, and sighed. Music was like a glass flower to her, beautiful at first sight, and it stays just as beautiful but then forgotten over time. Unfortunately, she never remembered the music she wrote because she had forgotten it and there was no reason to keep this one, she would forget this one too over time.
"I guess we'd better get back to reality." She said finally, throwing the words into a nearby trashcan.
"Yes, we don't want to be late." Bakura said, starting his way to the gym.
Caitlin followed him and grinned, starting to hum the tune she gave the name, Alone. (I wonder where that came from?)
"Well," Bakura said, noticing her attitude, "You seem overly happy all of a sudden. Why the change?"
"I just realized Bakura, I've been trying to get people to ignore the thing that I did in the gym, but, I'm proud of what I did. And I the prank was meant so people would laugh at the person who said I had germs and I need to take credit for it."
"In other words you're going to milk this thing for all it's worth?"
"Exactly." She smiled.
**********
The last classes of the day seemed to go a whole lot quicker then the first and she now gladly told anyone who would listen the whole story, maybe a little more dramatic then it really was. Everyone enjoyed the part when she stuck the shirt into the freezer saying she needed an apple, but they had to swear on the bible OR in blood that they would never tell a teacher or be ignored by their peers for all eternity. Pretty much everyone in the school was pleasantly surprised with the sudden change and the only thing they could say this came from was that she was a Sagittarius, and Sagittarius' changed their minds very quickly. (Where they got the info that she WAS a Sagittarius, Caitlin didn't know. SHE didn't even know her birth date.)
Unfortunately, the quicker the day went, the quicker detention came.
"So, I'll see you guys at six, in front of the school?"
"Sure will." Tea said, collecting the books from her locker.
"All of you?"
"You bet." Yugi chimed in.
"Listen peoples, I'm happy that you'll wait for me, but I only need Tea because I don't know the way to her house that well."
"It's ok Caitlin, Tristen challenged a dude to a contest where you steal the food from the cafeteria, and then see who can eat the most of it." Joey said this like it was the best idea ever.
"What kind of stupid contest is that?" Caitlin said, making her way forward.
"And entertaining contest." Joey said smirking, "I've got ten bucks riding that Tristen will puke before the other dude."
"Wow your faith in me is overwhelming." Tristen said sarcastically.
"I know. ^_^"
"I don't think you'd even come close to being the victor!"
"But that doesn't matter does it? I'm not the stupid one who come up with the contest."
"Actually, you are."
"Say what?!"
"YOU were going to challenge the first person who walked through the door to a match, but chickened out when you saw who it was. So, I took over to save your sorry hide."
"YOU DIDN'T SAVE MY SORRY HIDE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SORRY HIDE!"
"So, you just walk in?" Caitlin said, motioning to the door.
They all looked at it for a while, as if surprised that they steered themselves there without knowing. Then they all nodded and Caitlin gave them a smile.
"Don't worry about me, I think I can handle a detention." She gave them a mischievous smile and closed the door behind her.
"She's going to get into some kind of trouble isn't she?" Yugi said looking at the door.
"Most likely." Tea answered, sighing and shaking her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caitlin tapped her pencil against the table and looked up at the clock. She had been sitting there forever with nothing to do and was sick of it. How much time has past?
"Five minutes." Caitlin muttered looking around at the room to see only a boy next to her, "Five minutes and I'm already bored."
She doodled strange things on the paper and started to hum the goldfish song, only to be shushed by her neighbor. She grumbled and counted ceiling tiles slowly, trying to avoid the sight of those with strange things stuck to them. She soon finished them all, (102 tiles) and turned to count bricks on the wall behind her. The only problem was they were covered in very foul language and dirty thoughts so she turned to her paper once more.
"Nothing to do. Nothing to say. And a neighbor who hates the goldfish jingle. Fun, fun, fun."
Caitlin was used to being bored, she had moments like this when it was raining and she didn't feel like running in it, or when it was too hot to do much. She decided it was time to do what she used to do all the time, think about random ideas and search the very corners of her mind. She used to search all the time, and sometimes she'd meet up with her Yami and they would play, she quickly found out though, without a Yami-
Searching her mind was very dull.
She again sighed, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes. She could picture the fun the rest of the gang was having. She saw Tristen come running back with a few red apples and putting them into a pile with a ton of other assorted foods. She pictured Joey stealing something from the pile every time Tristen left. She pictured Tea and Yugi cheering him on, watching as the pile got steadily bigger and bigger. Then she saw Bakura just watching, he always seemed to be a little bit of an outcast, Caitlin wondered why that was. Then, she saw a bright light and her item hung around her neck, but was it her neck? She tried to focus on the picture only to be snapped out of her thoughts by the stupid timer that was on the table.
"Huh?" Caitlin shook her head to get her thoughts out. She was somewhat relieved that it was over, but then, what did that last daydream mean? If it meant anything.
Caitlin kinda dragged herself outside, that last vision seemed to be more then just a daydream that she always had, but a vision. Was she being stupid? She kept thinking about what she saw and only snapped out of it when she heard her name, over and over.
"Caitlin? Cait-lin? Cai-tlin?" The voice was Joey's.
"Oh!" She said, blinking a few times, "Sorry guys just thinking about something."
"What about?" Tea came up behind Joey.
"Nothing. Something stupid I guess. I just kept seeing a necklace."
"Oh!" Tea exclaimed, "That reminds me! Mai called while you were in Detention."
"She did?!" Caitlin said, smiling. Maybe the whole day was turning around after all.
"Yeah, she found your necklace. The one that looked like a bug? She said her mom freaked out when she went to wash your clothes and there was a big yellow bug in it!"
"When will she return it?"
"And, she said she didn't think it was a necklace at first because the chain was missing at first, so she attached her own. She said she would have given it back sooner if she knew it was yours."
"When will she return it though?"
"Hold your horses Caitlin, I told her she could wear it to the dance this weekend."
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
"It's just a necklace Caitlin, she said she had an outfit that matched it almost perfectly and she wanted to borrow it."
"But it was MY necklace!" She whined.
"I'm sorry Caitlin, I didn't think you would get this worked up over a necklace."
"It's just REALLY important and I REALLY need it."
Tea looked at her and then at her watch, "We'd better get back."
"You're changing the subject!"
"I know I am now common!"
Tea started to drag her home, Caitlin trying to stop her and lecture her about lending things out to friends that are her friend's.
/Wow Yami, I wonder what's so important about this necklace./
//Is it not obvious?//
/What's obvious?/
//The bug Mai found wasn't yellow, it was gold.//
/So?/
//And the necklace isn't important to Caitlin for any old reason.//
/Yeah?/
//There is a reason the necklace didn't have a chain, that's because it didn't come with a chain. And it wasn't a bug, it was a beetle, a scarab beetle.//
/You mean Caitlin stole Kiba's golden Scarab beetle?/
//Yes, only it wasn't the Golden Scarab Beetle she stole, it was the Millennium Amulet.//
/How come you didn't feel the power though? Don't you do that when an item it near?/
//I do, and I did the first time. But it went away so quickly that I thought I was imagining it.//
/Because she lost it./
//Yugi, if something happens and she can't get to the amulet, or if Mai is caught wearing it, Caitlin will be in terrible danger. //
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author- Took Yugi long enough to figure out what she was up to. ^_^
Yugi- Hey! I don't have much to work with!
Caitlin- *is petting Monkey Marik* You had a ton to work with, man I'm a bad liar.
Marik- *whimpering* Please turn me back to normal!
Author- Uh, lemme think. Nope. ^_^
Marik- BUT IT'S CRUEL AND UNUSUAL!
Isis- *comes in* Has anyone seen my- *sees Marik* Where on earth did you find a monkey like THAT?
Author- ^_^ Isn't he adorable?
Isis- He reminds me of my brother..
Marik- Sister! It's me Marik!
Isis- *looks at him* I didn't know my brother's rod could control animals.
Author- ^_^; Uh, yeah, that's it!
Caitlin- More like miserable...

"Anyway, I've been talking with Jessie and well, we think we'd like you to be a member of our club!"
Caitlin just stared at her blankly, "No- thank you."
"Oh please join Caitlin!"
"Listen, Jerry, I would rather not be stereo typed with a group of people who knocked me into the pool. I'm not just going to say, 'Oh! Of coarse I'm going to join!' Because your leader isn't as high and mighty as you took her to be."

//And the necklace isn't important to Caitlin for any old reason.//

/How come you didn't feel the power though? Don't you do that when an item it near?/
//I do, and I did the first time. But it went away so quickly that I thought I was imagining it.//
/Because she lost it./
//Yugi, if something happens and she can't get to the amulet, or if Mai is caught wearing it, Caitlin will be in terrible danger. //

Author- Took Yugi long enough to figure out what she was up to. ^_^
Yugi- Hey! I don't have much to work with!
Caitlin- *is petting Monkey Marik* You had a ton to work with, man I'm a bad liar.
Marik- *whimpering* Please turn me back to normal!
Author- Uh, lemme think. Nope. ^_^
Marik- BUT IT'S CRUEL AND UNUSUAL!
Isis- *comes in* Has anyone seen my- *sees Marik* Where on earth did you find a monkey like THAT?
Author- ^_^ Isn't he adorable?
Isis- He reminds me of my brother..
Marik- Sister! It's me Marik!
Isis- *looks at him* I didn't know my brother's rod could control animals.
Author- ^_^; Uh, yeah, that's it!
