God Sent Me An Angel
Chapter 2
A New Day...A New Life
Grace slowly walked down the empty road. Rain was pouring down around her as she walked. Her long brown hair was matted against her face, heavy from the rain. 'Why me, why now?,' she thought as she splashed through a puddle of water. She held her history book tightly against her chest.
"This isn't fair," she said softly to her self. "I had a perfect life, why does my life always have to get ruined?"
Grace's bright blue eyes stared down the street, nothing. There was no one in sight, nobody. She sighed. "Summer stared out great, I made new friends, a few boyfriends. Learnt how to get along with people. I was so happy. Then suddenly we had to move, I didn't get time to say good-bye, we just left." She stopped. "Why am I telling myself this?"
She slowly continued to walk, but she really wanted to run. Run away from it all, run away from life. 'Why do I have to suffer for my parents mistakes?' she thought. Grace walked for a little while longer, lost in her thoughts. She soon came upon a big school in the center of town.
"Domino High School," She read slowly with a sigh. She quickly ran up the short staircase and in to the school building. She pulled out her schedule from inside her history book. "Math. Fourth floor," she sighed. Grace was suddenly shoved forward, her book hit the floor.
"Move chick!" A guy yelled angrily as he pushed her to the side, to make way for him and his friends. Grace quickly turned around and thrust her fist into his face. The kid stumbled backwards. He clasped his hand over his face as blood streamed out of his nose. Grace smiled happily, grabbed her book from the floor, and quickly darted into the crowd and up a staircase, before the boy or any of his friends could say anything.
Grace ran up four sets of stairs. The fourth floor was packed with teens, all of them hurrying around to get to class. Grace slowly walked down the long hall, listening to all of them talk, most of there conversations were about the hottest guy or girl. Grace sigh, she had been the hottest girl before at her old school. Everyone fawned over her, every boy asked her out at least five times in one week. It was pretty cool being the hottest person, but it had gotten tiring fast, with all the rumors spreading it was hard to keep a reputation. She hoped that she would never have to go through that again, especially in this new school. Grace wanted to stay on a low profile until her family moved again, in fact she wanted to stay on a low profile for the rest of her life.
Grace quickly found her way to the math class, and after another awkward introduction, she was told to be seated beside a very short kid with really strange hair. Grace dropped the math book, the teacher had given her, on her desk and slouched down into the hard chair.
"Hi, my name's Yugi Muto," she heard the small kid say brightly.
"That's nice," Grace said trying to ignore him.
She slowly flipped through the pages of the math book. "We're on page twenty-three," the boy whispered.
"I know," Grace said angrily as she turned to page twenty-three.
"If you need any help with anything, I mean...since your new."
"Thanks but I don't need your help," She said coldly.
"Okay but if you ever do..."
"Yeah, I'll ask you for it," Grace said forcing a smile. Yugi was silent for the remainder of the class. The class was long and boring, and Grace hardly ever paid any attention to the teacher's annoying blabbing.
Grace quickly rose from her chair as soon as the class ended and hurried out the door, she was glad to be out of there and away from that Yugi kid. She slowly pulled out the schedule she had gotten the day before. Science. Grace sighed, she hated science. Grace slowly stumbled down the hallway, searching for her locker. 'Okay locker 242,' she thought as she scanned the lockers lined up against the wall. 240, 241, 242, she stopped quickly and unlocked the lock. The door swung open and Grace quickly shoved her books in. Grace slowly pulled out some folder and spirals that the last kid that owned the locker must have left. She flipped through them...empty. She slowly tucked them under her arm and quickly slammed the locker closed. Grace spun around quickly, accidentally bumping into someone behind her. Both their books and papers hit the floor and scattered on the ground.
"Oh God, I'm sorry," Grace said quickly as she gathered the books and papers.
"It's alright," a boy's gentle voice said as he bent down to help her. Grace looked up into a pair of lonely brown eyes inches from her face. 'Him?!' She thought as she quickly looked down at the pile of books she had gathered. They both rose slowly to their feet. The boy handed Grace one of her spirals. Grace smiled shyly as her fingers brushed against his.
"Thanks," Grace said quickly as she handed him some of his books.
"You're the new girl right?" he asked, his voice pierced into her heart.
"Yeah, Grace," she said softly. "And you are?"
"The name's Bakura," he answered shyly.
"Hey Bakura," a distant voice yelled from the swarm of teens heading toward their classes.
"Hi Yugi," Bakura said as the small boy from Math class and three others headed towards them.
Grace watched them nervously as they approached them. 'I've got to get out of here,' she thought as she felt her heart began to race. She had already decided that she wasn't going to make any new friends here. As soon as Bakura's back was turned to her, she quickly disappeared into the crowd of students and hurried off down the hall, hoping Bakura wouldn't take it the wrong way.
"Wait Grace," Bakura called out after her but it was to late, Grace was already out of sight. "Don't leave."
Grace could hear his faint calls but decided not to turn back. She quickly ran down the hallway darting in and out of the groups of students. Grace headed towards the closest staircase in sight, but was stopped rudely before she could reach it. Someone grabbed her by her shoulder and jerked her around to face him.
"Hello," Grace said calmly.
"Hey chick remember me?" a guy said as he pushed her back into the lockers that lined the wall.
"Oh yes, the one that I beat up this morning, didn't you learn your lesson?" Grace said grinning.
The guy stared angrily at her. "You won't be smiling for long," he said as he headed his books to a friend sanding next to him. His fingers curled into two tight fights. He knocked the books out of Grace's arms and quickly threw a punch at her, but she quickly dodged it. He thrust his other fist at her, Grace quickly dodged that punch too.
"I'm still smiling," Grace said as she ducked under another one of his wild throws. The boy threw two punches at her. One missed, but the other nicked her, blood dripped off her lip.
"Is that all you've got?" Grace said as she whipped the blood off her lip with her knuckles. Grace quickly threw a punch a the boy, hitting him in the jaw. Grace smiled as she watched him stumbled backwards. By now there was a big crowd of kids watching the fight, all of them were cheering on the fight. Grace grinned, she was surprised that she was actually enjoying the attention. She quickly thrust three punches into his gut. The boy angrily pushed Grace into the wall. He punched her in the jaw with force. Grace spit some blood onto the floor. The boy was getting great pleasure out of all the cheers from the crowd and threw another punch towards Grace. But this time his fist was caught. The boy's knuckles cracked as another mysterious guy tightened his grip.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to get your ass kicked by a girl," he said coldly as he pushed the jerk back into the crowd. "Get lost."
The crowd quickly broke up and headed towards their classes. "Are you okay?" the guy asked Grace.
"Yeah I'm fine," Grace said, wiping blood off her lower lip. She knelt to the floor to gather her papers.
"I bet he's hurting more then you are," he said as he helped her.
Grace slowly rose to her feet after collecting all her belongings. "Well...thanks," She said as she turned to leave.
"Wait," he said quickly. Grace turned to face him. "You can't walk around alone," he said smiling.
"Why not?" Grace asked laughing softly.
"Cause he'll come back to get you as soon as I'm gone. I can't live knowing an innocent girl is being stalked."
"Then do you want to walk me to class?"
"What class?"
"Chemistry," Grace said glancing over at him.
He smiled as they began to walk down the hall together. "So anyways..." she said as they headed to class together. "I don't remember catching your name back there."
"I'm Malik, and you must be Gorgeous, right?"
"Grace," she said blushing.
"So what did you do to make him so angry with you?"
"I...umm..." Grace began but was quickly distracted by her emotions, 'I shouldn't be with him,' she thought as she stumbled for words. "I...umm...."
Malik stared at her in question, but with fondness in his eyes. Grace stared into his big purple eyes, 'but who could blame me?'
"You said no to his offer?" Malik asked after a moment of silence.
"No, he didn't ask me to date him, no one does."
"I don't believe that," Malik said grinning.
"They don't."
"Then can I?"
Grace smiled, to astonished to speak. She searched for words to answer him. "You have beautiful eyes," Grace commented, trying to change the subject before she was in to deep over her head.
"You have a beautiful face," Malik said smiling.
"Thank you."
"Do you know what I keep thinking about?" Malik asked as they came to a slow stop in front of the classroom door.
"No, what?" Grace slowly pulled the door opened.
"How we'd make good Chemistry partners."
************************************************************************Auth ors note: Yu-Gi-Oh and all the Yu-Gi-Oh characters don't belong to me, but Grace does. The story line is based on my own idea. And yes Malik is really sweet, so just deal with it. I like him better when he's sweet. That's about all so I hope you enjoyed the first two parts, and chapter three will be up soon. Thanx.
