That night, he could not stop dreaming about her. She should always be in
whatever he was doing. There always seemed to be a strange wind around her,
blowing her slightly golden locks all around her while her warm violet eyes
bore into his wit a soft glow. It was so creepy, yet so allurning at the
same time. He couldn't understand it and everytime he asked for her name,
she would just smirk and run. After a while it got annoying. When he
grabbed her arm and turned her around gently.
"Who are you," he demanded. She just looked at him warmly and smiled. She
opened her mouth, but it wasn't her voice.it was a man's!
"GOOOD morning listeners. It is 7AM on 107.2 TLET your number one station,"
she replied.
"AHHHHHHH," he screamed waking up. He looked over to his alarm clock, which
had aparently just gone off. He shut it off and went to take a nice warm
shower. After, he got dressed for school in his black jeans, white shirt,
golden armbands, chocker, and earrings, and his black leather boots (Domino
high got rid of their dorky uniforms). At first, people looked funny
because he chose to wear jewelry, but people quickly adapted to it. In
fact, the girls thought he looked hot which was nice, but annoying. They
would always make pathetic attempts to flirt with him and hang all over
him.He looked at himself in the mirror and smirked at the thought of
inventing a "Girl Repellant" in chemistry today. Other guys may have liked
all those girls hanging on them, but it wasn't Marik's style. Joey and
Tristen thought he was crazy, Yami and Yugi found it quite amusing, and
Ryou would just sweatdrop.
Marik grabbed his bag and walked down the hall to grab a little breakfast.
Ishizu had already gone out the door to her job at the Egyptian museum.
Marik found some Poptarts and headed out the door for school.
When he got there, the gang was already outside waiting for him. They
usually hung outside and talked till classes started. He walked up to them.
They seemed to be having a rather heated conversation about something.
"Hey guys! Whassup," Marik asked.
"Didn't you hear," Joey asked.
"Uhh I just got here genius! Hear what," he said smirking. Joey just glared
at him as Tea smiled.
"There is a new girl today," Tea said
"Really? Who is she? Has anyone seen her," Marik kept asking.
All shook their heads.
"No," Tea responded," I just heard the buzz from the other cheerleaders. We
didn't get much on her."
"Well," Yugi said," I want to go find her and give her a warm welcome."
"Boy, Yugi! You sure are getting desparate. Hittin on new girls and all.
It's just shameful man. Forget it,Yugi! It just isn't gonna happen," Marik
teased with a smirk. The others just laughed.
"Oh really funny, wiseguy! FYI, I am just being nice," Yugi retorted.
They all looked at each other then at him. "Suuuuuurrrrreeee," They all
said in unison.
"Whatever," he said laughing, "bye guys."
"And that is what us Egyptian's call De Nile, right Yami," Marik asked.
"Oh yea," Yami replied and they slapped a high five.
"Besides," Marik continued," he and I have first study hall together. I'll
harass him there too."
The group just rolled their eyes and continued to talk. Pretty soon, it was
time for class and Marik went to his locker. Suddenly he hears a fimilair
laugh.
That girl, he thought, the one I ran into. I heard her laugh in my dream!
He looked around frantically. He saw a flash of dark denium jeans and
whitish golden hair. Just then someone bumped into him.
"Sorry," a junior high student apologized then he rushed off to class.
Marik looked in the direction of his mystery girl. She was gone. Man, he
thought, I think I am losing it! Could SHE be the new girl? Nah! He grabbed
his his booked and went to class.
Once he got there he saw Yugi sitting in the middle row smirking at him.
Marik took the empty spot next to the smirking Yugi.
"What," Marik asked glancing at him.
"Nothing," Yugi said innocently with his smirk spreading into a grin.
"Oooook? So who is the new girl?"
"You will see."
"What is her name?"
"You will know soon enough."
"YUGI!!"
Then the second bell rang. The door opened for one more student just in
time. What Marik saw shocked him.
"Here she is," Yugi said
Marik saw that same girl, the one who looked just like him. She was here,
IN HIS CLASS!!!! She obviously wasn't a dream because Yugi saw her too.
"That's girl I crashed into yesterday, Yugi! She is the new student," Marik
said in a high pitched whispter.
Yugi just smiled,"Yep. You are right. She does look a lot like you."
"What did I tell you?"
"Class! Class! Quiet down," the teacher shouted," Today, as you call all
see, we have a new student. Everyone this is Marikah Innarah."
Marikah stepped up and waved. She had dark blue jeans on with a white tank
top and black leather boots. Her long whitish blond hair was tied up in a
black and white bandana. She had a warm smile, just like in Marik's dream.
"Marikah," the teacher said," Why don't you tell the class a little big
about yourself."
"There isn't much to tell but ok," she said with a deep soothing voice that
sent shivers down Marik's back, " Originally, I'm from Egypt. We (my family
and I) moved to a city on the Northern coast of Japan when I was 10. My dad
is a computer technitian and was hired to come here by Kiaba Corp. I live
with him and my mother and my little sister, Alissa. That's about it."
So she is Egyptian too, Marik thought, interesting. I wonder how much she
knows.
" That is wonderful Marikah-" The teacher said.
"Marie," she corrected," My nickname is Marie."
"Very well then, Marie. We are glad to have you. Now if you will find a
seat. Is there an extra place for Ms. Innarah?"
"Right here, Mr. Simon," Yugi said motioning to the empty seat on the other
side of him.
"Yugi, NO," Marik hissed.
"Wonderful! Thank you Mr. Motou. You may sit by him, Marie," The teacher
said, then he went back to his desk to grade papers.
She smiled and walked to sit by Yugi. Yugi smirked at Marik who in turn
glared at him ever so quickly. Then, Yugi turned his attention to Marie.
"Nice meeting you again, Marie," Yugi greeted with a smile.
"Likewise, Yugi," she replied with a nod.
"Marie, I'd like you to meet my good friend Marik. He is an Egyptian too,"
Yugi said as he leaned back to reveal Marik.
"Really," She said smiling," That's fac-"
She stopped dead when she saw him. It was the same boy she ran into
yesterday. The one who looked just like her. This was truly an
extraordinary, but akward situation. Even on his fine tanned featured she
could tell he was blushing a bit. She realized she was staring at him and
stopped, blushing herself. Yugi was just smiling at the whole ordeal.
"Hello," he said shyly.
"Umm.hi," she said equally as shy.
"What a coincidence this is," Yugi said," have you guys met before?"
"Briefly," Marie said in embarassment.
Marik nodded and when Marie wasn't paying any attention, he kicked Yugi.
"Oww! What was that for," Yugi hissed.
"Embarassing me," Marik hissed back.
"Something wrong," Marie asked
"Nothing," they replied in unison.
"Um.Ok," she said," Well, I'm gonna listen to music now."
"Whacha gonna listen to," Yugi asked.
"Good Charolette," she replied and put her headphones on.
Marik gulped. He loved that band, but obviously she had the same awsome
taste. Sweet, he thought, maybe he was actually going to like this Marie
person. It was weird though how they also had the same initials.
As if Yugi was reading his mind he asked," Hey Marik. Isn't that your
favorite band?"
"Nevermind, Yugi," he replied hastily," I got work to do."
"Whatever you say," Yugi aid leaning back and smiling. He remained this way
for a minitue or two. Then Yugi interrupted Marik' s train of thoughts.
"Isn't it paculiar how your first names are practically identical. Marikah
and Marik. Creepy huh? And you both have the same initials," he said
"Yugi, drop it! I get it," Marik replied irritably," It doesn't mean
anything."
"Whatever you say, Marik. Now who's in De Nile, oh Egyptian one," Yugi
grinned evily.
"I'm trying to work Yugi," Marik hissed at him and glared.
Yugi just shrugged his shoulders and went back to lounging, sleeping for
the rest of the class.
