I Will Always be the Same
By Anime Queen
Chapter 3 - Who says Parents are Always Right?
I woke up to the sound of roaring cars and took a moment to remember where I was. The light blue of the interior of my car greeted me, and I realized I slept in the back seat. Slowly sitting up, I tried to focus my sight to figure out where I was. Finding no familiar landmarks, I shrugged.
=Whatever=
I crawled to the front seat and flicked my bangs out of my face. The sun hasn't completely risen, and the sky was a strange pink color.
=What, am I going soft now?= I scolded myself. =Who cares what the color of the sky is?=
I straightened my clothes and fumbled in my pocket to make sure the cash was there. I picked out a few dollars and walked across the road to the food station.
"Where are we?" I asked the person behind the counter.
He looked up at me and smiled.
"Central Tokyo."
He pointed to a map.
"Great," I mumbled under my breath. Picking up sandwiches, gum and a bottle of coke, I paid him. I turned around and bumped into something tall. I looked up into the face of none other than Seto Kaiba.
"You again," I cursed, pushing past him.
"Hey! How about an apology?" he shouted after me.
"For what?" I retorted over my shoulder.
I didn't wait for his answer. =Some people have the nerve.=
I got into my car again, and pulled out of the truck stop where I spent the night.
=That Seto Kaiba, what is he, following me or something? Doesn't he have his fancy company to run or something?=
The car in front of me braked abruptly, and I slammed on the brakes hard to prevent driving into its rear. Rolling down the window, I shouted,
"Learn to drive, buddy!"
The driver stuck his middle finger at me from his own opened window.
=You asked for it, sugar.= I fumed as I pushed the accelerator to the floorboard, hitting the car in front of me at full speed. It lurched forward, and I merged onto another lane. Looking back in my rear view mirror, I threw my head back and laughed. The driver was out cursing and inspecting the damage. The bumper fell off, the paint was scratched and there was a huge dent. I looked at my own car, and was relieved that I only smashed the glass off of one of my headlights. I managed to escape with everything else intact.
=Serves you right, sucker!= I thought with triumph. Then my eyes fell on the newspaper that was open on the passenger seat. The picture of my family hit me in the face. Even when I was young, I always had that edge, that impatience about me.
FLASHBACK
"Hey Mai! Wait up!"
I was still in fifth grade then.
"What do you want, Bakura?" I asked the white-haired boy impatiently.
"Nothing," he seemed confused.
"Then stop wasting my time!" I walked off, leaving him in the doorframe of our classroom. I heard shouts behind me, and looked back. The three class bullies had Ryou in a headlock in the hallway.
"Hey Bakura," I heard one of them say, "Why don't you ask your girlfriend there to get over here?" He was looking in my direction, grinning grossly. I walked over to where they stood slowly, and stopped when I was face to face with the guy who made the remark. With a quick movement of my arm, I slapped him in the face. He tried to shove me back, but I dodged, and punched him in the jaw. When he recovered, he charged right at me, but my perfect timing has rewarded me, and I laughed as the bully staggered back, clutching his groin area. His two comrades, with panicked looks on their faces released Bakura and set off towards the stairs.
"Thanks," I heard Bakura say.
I turned around and gave him a look.
"For what?" I raised my eyebrows.
"For saving me from those bullies, Mai. I'm really grateful."
I cut him short by raising my hand.
"I didn't do it for you, Bakura."
"Then." he plastered a confused look on his face. =He gets confused a lot. what a dweeb=
"I don't give a damn about you, even less if you get beat up. But did you honestly think that creep was going to get away with calling me your girlfriend?" I flipped my hair over my shoulder. "Can you even imagine?"
"Uh."
"Stay out of my way, Bakura," I told him firmly before walking away.
Mom gave me a lecture that day.
"Mai, why can't you keep out of trouble?" she asked me as we sat across from each other on my bed.
"Why can't everyone just leave me alone?" I retorted.
"Darling, man by nature is gregarious. People are meant to stay together."
"No they aren't."
"Mai, listen."
"No, you listen!" I was shouting at her. "I don't need people around me, they only make my life more difficult, as if I didn't have enough problems of my own!"
My mother sighed.
"You should really try and make some friends."
"What for? So I can become a dependent freak like everyone else?"
"Life is a social experience," she informed me.
"Life is too short to waste it on others and not yourself!"
She stood up, and took a deep breath.
"When you're older, you'll change your mind."
"No I won't!" I screamed after her as she closed the door after herself.
END FLASHBACK
=Mom was wrong. Who says parents are always right? I'm much older than I was then, and I still haven't changed my point of view. Friends - they're only there to give you more trouble and an extra set of complications. I see no reason why those weaklings tend to pool together, maybe some people don't have that many problems. Stupid assholes=
