Malik's POV:
I remember that day clearly. The one where everyone started to hate me. I don't know why, but they still do. After all, though, it has only been a week. But it feels like forever. Before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you the full story:
It all started that Wednesday. I live near Domino High School, so I walked to and from school. It was a beautiful autumn day, the sun was shining, and the temperature was about 70. So it was pretty pleasant to walk that morning. The only bad part was the slightly gray clouds in the distance, which threatened to erupt into a storm.
I got to school pretty early, as I usually do, about ten minutes before the bell rang to let us in. I saw Bakura, Yugi, Tea, Joey, and Tristan in a group by the steps, talking. I waved to them and walked over.
"Hi," I said brightly. "What's up?"
"Not much, man, I just, um, forgot to do my math homework." Said Joey.
"Again?" I asked, pulling out my own. We were learning trigonometry, and it was very painstaking, but since I am a straight A student, I didn't mind giving him my answers.
Joey grinned. "Thanks." He said.
"So what's new with yo-" Yugi started, but then cut off and stared.
I turned. It was this big group of bullies. There were at least five of them. Yugi, being practically a bully magnet, hid behind us. I wasn't really that much as a magnet as Yugi, but I sometimes get picked on. Not much, though, and anyways, I know how to defend myself if the time ever comes.
The group turned. The biggest (and ugliest) guy looked at us. His name was Jason (A/N, I apologize if anyone reading this fic is named Jason!)
All five started towards us. Yugi was really terrified, and I knew it because he was shaking. I heard Tristan mutter to him "Don't worry, you'll be OK." I didn't quite know how much that would mean to Yugi, considering it was five huge bullies against- well, us.
The 'leader' stopped about one foot away from Tristan. But Tristan stood his ground.
"Move it," the bully grunted.
"No."
"Really? Are you sure about that?"
Suddenly (and I mean suddenly, because it all happened as fast as lightning) Jason reached out his arm and shoved Tristan down to the side. Tristan fell hard, and Tea screamed.
The bully's cronies stepped behind the leader. He grabbed Yugi by the collar of his shirt and was about to punch him when Joey came flying- yes, *flying*- out of no where and shoved Jason hard, right in the ribs.
At first, the bully looked surprised. Then anger crossed his face as he (slowly) realized what the blond had done. He got up, and turned around to still face Yugi, ignoring Joey as two more bullies ganged up on Joey.
Yugi was standing there, cornered by Jason. I had to think fast. It was either waste time going for a teacher and let one of my best friends get beat up, or help Yugi and forget about the teacher. I chose the latter.
"Tea!" I yelled "Go for a teacher! Hurry!" I yelled as I tried to figure out where Jason's weak spot was. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't figure it out.
I had to think fast. I didn't know how long it would take for Tea to find a teacher, so I just did what my instincts told me. I reared back, and getting as much force as possible, punched Jason as hard as I could in his temple.
It had worked- well, sort of-! At least Yugi was safe, but now I had one big, fat, and ugly problem on my hands. Jason dived towards me and I dodged, sending him flying to the ground. Needless to say, he was VERY angry by then. We started fighting, basically just punching and kicking. I didn't know how long I could go for, though, because I have actually never been in a fight before, much less in one with someone about twice my weight.
We heard footsteps and yelling, but I just shrugged it off. I had one ulterior motive- to teach these guys not to mess with me and my friends. But I was running out of energy and I knew I was bleeding and possibly had a broken wrist, as it hurt like hell.
I was about to use up the last of my strength to give one last blow, when I felt a pair of strong arms pull me away. My stomach turned over, but my heart soared. Someone was stopping the fight!
My heart stopped mid-soar, though, as I saw who was pulling Jason back- the principal. Which meant that we were in some pretty deep trouble.
The principal and vice principal walked us down the hallway to the nurse's office. After she had patched us up, we both had to sit down in the office. The principal asked us each what happened. I told him what happened- even the parts that really made me feel guilty. When Jason was asked to recollect *his* side of the story, he told it a little differently. Ok, so maybe little was an understatement.
"Well, me and my friends were walking to the doors, when Tristan shoved me. I said 'excuse me', but Joey started pushing me too. Then Yugi and Malik decided to gang up on me and my friends, so I had no choice but to defend myself!"
'Bull', I thought. I hope the principal isn't so thick as to believe this stuff!
Our principal made us wait in the office for about five minutes while he and the vice decided what our punishment should be. I looked over at Jason. He just sat there smirking. I saw red. If I was going to be expelled because of him and his cock-and-bull stories, then he would really regret it.
"Well," the principal said, walking into the office with the vice. "We have decided that for two reasons, one being that Malik's version of the story seems more truthful, as it puts him in blame too, and two being that Jason has already been suspended before for fighting, that Malik is telling the truth. However, rules are rules, and can't be bent or broken, no matter who the student is, or what the reason, so we have decided this: Jason gets suspended for one week, and Malik for three days, as this is his first time fighting. I will be calling your guardians to pick you up, so go get your things and wait here."
We both went back outside and grabbed our backpacks. Then we sat back down in the office.
I was really worried. What would Isis say? I mean, I know that she is my sister, not my mom, but she'll still be mad. Oh well. If I just explain what happened to her, maybe she'll understand.
Both of our guardians arrived at the same time. As I was getting up to leave with Isis, I heard Jason mutter this threat to me:
"You'll regret this."
