Author- *sigh* The fanfic is almost over, so depressing.
Caitlin- *sniffle* Once again I'll disappear into a thought, a picture, and a memory. I've got it way worse then you!
Author- Hey I got an idea! How about I just- 'forget' to finish the fic!
Caitlin- ^_^ YAY! Then it'll never end!
Editor- NO! *cracks whip* YOU WILL FINISH THE FIC!
Author- But-
Editor- WRITE! WRITE!
Author- *starts scribbling on paper quickly* Oh you're a dead girl Stevie. You are going to GET IT when I'm done with the fic.
Editor- As long as you finish! ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caitlin took out another paper from her notebook and a pencil. At the top of her paper she wrote the words, 'SCHOOL, FROM A STUDENT'S VEIW' and then, 'By- Caitlin Whatshername'.
Caitlin laughed at her last name, that's what she was called at school, Caitlin What's-her-name? She continued to write under there:
"Most people are ready to leave school by sixth-"
She squinted at the word and crossed it out, "Most people are ready to leave school by FIRST period. A normal person can't even get proper revenge without becoming the most popular kid at school, so be careful who you choose as your victim. It is very annoying to be popular; no one will leave you alone. It should all be over tomorrow, all the stress, rotten teachers, clingy people, work in general. Why don't I feel good about it?"
"Caitlin?"
Again, Caitlin shoved the paper under her bed. There must have been a nice little hoard under there because Caitlin loved to write and make lists. She looked up innocently and smiled up at Tea.
"Are you ready for bed?"
"Oh uh, yeah."
"Ok, then we'd better turn out the lights," She grinned and added, "Big day tomorrow."
"Yeah, real big."
She had memories that night again, why did it seem she kept getting these all of a sudden? They were even in her dreams, like they were haunting her. Was someone trying to tell her something?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is someone sitting there?" A boy had asked Caitlin.
She blinked a few times to get her mind off the necklace under her shirt at the very moment, and off the fact she was leaving and back to school.
"Huh?"
"I said- Is someone sitting there? At the seat next to you?" He gestured to the chair that was next to her.
"Oh, uh, yeah sorry. Tea's sitting there as soon as she gets back." Then she realized something and got up, "But you can have my seat!"
The guy looked disappointed, "Never mind."
Then he just walked away.
*That was weird*
"What was that about?" Tea asked, coming up with the two lunch trays.
"I donno, a dude came up, asked if he could sit here, and when I got up so he COULD sit, he just left."
"Guys can be very strange."
"Hey guys!" They heard Yugi's voice come from behind them and turned around.
"Oh hey, finally got here?" Caitlin teased.
"Man the lunch line was long! Took us fifteen minutes to get to the front of the line and then we had to wait in the line to pay!"
"Maybe you should bring a lunch baggie next time huh Joey?" Tristen said, already done with his cold pizza.
Joey was about to answer when the ring under Bakura's shirt started to glow and point at Caitlin. Caitlin was shocked to have something pointing at her like that and backed up. Bakura looked at her and mouthed the words, 'You brought it?'
Caitlin didn't know what to say to this, she didn't REALLY like the idea of someone knowing that she had the beetle under her shirt. She quickly decided not to answer and said instead,
"I'm going to get a cookie or something." She said, turning on her heel.
"You haven't even started your lunch." Tea said, holding up the full tray she had just brought.
"I-uh- want some um, sugary junk and stuff."
Caitlin hurried over to the snack line-
But was tripped by a certain pain in the leg.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you coming!" Jennet squealed sarcastically.
"Again with the sarcasm? Listen Jennet why don't you just quit while your ahead."
"Quit while I'm ahead? YOU should quit. Because you know what they say, The nail that sticks up, is the one that gets hammered down."
Caitlin glared at her, not just any glare, the death stare. It seemed she was giving Jennet a lot of these lately.
"Ohh!" Jennet shrieked, "She's giving me the Death Stare!"
"Oh no." Tea said from their lunch table. "She's giving her the Caitlin's famous death stare of death."
"What?" Bakura was confused.
"Every time someone earns themselves one of these, specifically Jennet, they are earning themselves a butt whoop."
"Oh boy." Yugi said, getting what Tea meant, "Just hope she doesn't get herself into TOO much trouble."
"-the Death Stare!" Jennet said sarcastically, "I'm so afraid!"
"You-" Caitlin said cooly through gritted teeth, "Should be."
Caitlin reached over to the table near them and gripped the milk from someone's hand and poured it on her head. She heard Jennet's cry as she felt the cold flow over her, and the gasps from everyone in the lunchroom as they watched Caitlin once again win over Jennet.
Oh goodie, more popularity.
"Someone-" She cried, "GET ME A NAPKIN!"
"Maybe this will teach you not to make fun of the death stare of death." Caitlin said smugly, forgetting about her cookie and walking back to her table.
She didn't care if she got suspended; this was her last day anyway and she thought she'd make the best of it. She tried to ignore the shocked looks of her friends and fellow peers. She was going to have a little fun and leave with a bang, but she still wasn't going to let ANYONE know that she had the item with her, not even Bakura. Who, unbeknownst to Caitlin,
Already knew.
~~~~~~~~~~
"You know that doing that to Jennet only sinks you deeper and deeper into being popular."
"Well I'm not just going to stand there and let her insult me.again. AND not to mention she insulted my Death Stare of Death! NO ONE EVER insults the Death Stare of Death!"
"I know, but you didn't have to pour-"
"Milk down her head? Yes, I did."
"Have it your way."
"Thanks."
It was later that night; Caitlin had gone through school the rest of the day without saying anything to anyone. She was nervous about tonight and hated the looks everyone was giving her, apparently it was one thing to hear a rumor, but quite another to actually see it. Tea was dressed in a soft pink gown and was putting her hair up in the back. She was able to force Caitlin into a light blue dress and braid her hair, only it wasn't as formal. Caitlin was secretly planning to change before leaving.
"We'd better get going." Tea said, succeeding in putting her hair up into a good-sized bun.
"Yeah, we'd better." She trailed off, in deep thought, you'd never know there was this much to think about the first time you thought about it.
"Something the matter?"
"Oh uh, no nothing!"
"Are you sure."
"I mean, yes I'm sure, very sure."
"Uh, good. Then let's tell mom we're ready to go."
"Yeah."
--=At the Dance=-
Loud music played in the background when the girls entered. The gym was full of people and was a sea of color. Caitlin followed Tea to meet up with her group of friends but Bakura pulled her aside.
"Did you bring it?"
Caitlin was trapped, no snack bar to escape to this time.
"Well? I need to know."
"Yes."
Bakura bit his lip, "You shouldn't have."
"Why not? Listen Bakura I didn't want to tell you until later but, I'm leaving tonight."
"What do you mean?"
"Leaving as in leaving Domino forever, going to start a new life away from here after I break my friends out of jail. I can't stay."
Bakura nodded, hoping with his life that his other side didn't hear that, "I understand. I think it's a good idea, too dangerous here."
"I glad you understand because, I need to go. Soon, like now."
"Alright, I'll try and keep everyone off your trail, now go for it."
Caitlin nodded and made her way to the punch bowl. She took a glass of red punch and started to drink a little. Then she recognized Jennet and took a deep breath.
*Here goes nothing*
"Hey Jennet!" She called; waving her hand so she could see would see her, "Come over here!"
Jennet was shocked that Caitlin was calling her over, but came anyway. She stood next to the punch bowl and glared at her, "What do YOU want?"
"I just wanted to tell you that- your date is a total nerd!"
*Splash punch on me.splash punch on me..*
"So?"
"And your dress is- uh- huge! What are you size 10?"
"Shut up!" She said, obviously trying to keep her cool.
"Not to mention it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, did you get it from a garage sale?"
*The punch.use the punch..*
"No, it's from an expensive French designer."
"Again with the French junk? You know as well as I do, and probably as well as everyone else here that your clothes are from Target!"
"THEY ARE NOT!"
*You stupid git splash the punch on me!!*
"I'm taking classes now, and I'm unaffected by your jeering."
*Shot I bet they're anger management classes.I know.*
Caitlin smirked and pointed at Jennet, "And you- must bow to me! Because I am your superior! I am the most popular girl in the school not you and there is nothing you can do to stop me! MWAHAHAHA!"
Jennet finally took the punch she had in her cup and splashed it on Caitlin's dress. The red liquid ran down her dress and stained some of the lace. She was sorry she had to ruin Tea's dress, but she didn't have another choice. The liquid was sticky and got in her eyes and hair, so much for looking glamorous at her first dance.
*Took you long enough*
"Oh my gosh Caitlin are you ok?" Tea said running up.
"I'm fine. I just need to go back to your house and change."
"Ok, I'll go with you."
"No! I mean, no I'm fine going alone."
"If you're sure."
Caitlin looked at Tea for a while, then gave her a hug, "Oh Tea! Tea you've been so good to me and I'm going to miss you so much!"
"Your just going to my house for a little, it's not like I'll never see you again."
Caitlin's lip quivered and she burst into tears, hugging Joey, "I'm going to miss you Joey!"
"Uh, I'm going to miss you too?"
She hugged Tristen, "So long Tristen!"
"I guess but-"
"Goodbye star-head!"
Yugi blinked, "Star-head?"
"And farewell Bakura!"
"Can't-breathe!"
"I'll- um-.be right back!" She said, running out of the room and out the double doors.
Maybe it was a bad idea to say goodbye.
-=At Tea's=-
Caitlin burst in through the front door and into Tea's room. She took off the dress and put it into the laundry room to be washed. She put on her old clothes and ran out into the darkening neighborhood again. She was off to the Jailhouse,
And no one could stop her now.
