REVIEW!
A/N: Carla is about 5"2 with rich brown hair that just brushes her shoulders. She has tanned skin and mahogany dark eyes. The setting is in Florida, USA.
beep. beep! Beep! BEEP!And so it began that Carla's extremely loud alarm clock started its ritual beeping.
But, Carla who was out like she was in a coma didn't even stir.
But Yami was up.
Yami POV
He had just been peacefully sleeping about Egypt when he heard the first beep. He had tried to ignore it and continue with gazing at the pyramids and chat idly with some royals, but it became louder and louder. Finally, a very peeved Yami got out of the puzzle ready to mind crush whatever was causing that incessant beeping noise. He saw the clock as his evil enemy. (a/n Yami doesn't remember the memory about Yugi's alarm clock)
Bring it on.
"I, as pharaoh order you to stop, noisemaker!"
"BEEP!"
"I said stop or I will be forced to take action and send you to the shadow realm!!!" Yami said raising his voice.
"BEEEP!"
"YOU DARE CONTRADICT ME?!" roared Yami.
"BEEP!"
"That's it! MIND CRUSH!" roared an indignant Yami as the innocent clock was sentenced to the Shadow Realm. Poor clock. Yami felt proud of himself as he had just vanquished one more evil in this strange world. But then he remembered something...o.O. He remembered Yugi once explaining to him what an alarm clock did. Damn. After seeing Carla's anger in action he knew that Carla was going to kill him when she found out. Might as well wake her so she can do her homework...maybe she'll be so distracted she'll forget about the clock. With spirits slightly lifted he proceeded to poke her. Nothing. Harder poke. Still nothing. Hmmmm...this was drastic but he knew it would work. Placing his face close to her ear he combined a bit of shadow magic to his voice and,
"WAKE UP HIKARI!!!!!!!"
Normal POV
Carla immediately bolted upright looking as if she had a heart attack. She looked at Yami, and without a thought to what she was doing, grabbed the pepper spray can and sprayed Yami right in his face.
For the second time that day Yami was in pain.
"AGHHHHHH!!!! MY EYES!#$%%!#$#%$ !!!!(Egyptian curses)" Yami dropped to floor holding his face, continuing to scream Egyptian curses.
Carla who watched this calmly while her memories came back to her. Name: Carla Veronica Sanchez. Teenage Spirit Name: Pharoah...Atem...likes to be called Yami. And as soon as she remembered Yami her memories of the night came rushing back. Well, she couldn't leave him writhing in pain, much as she was tempted to do so. It might attract her family's attention. She went to her bathroom, grabbed some eye ointment, and returned to her room finding a whimpering Yami. Feeling guilty now, she said:
"Here Yami, stand still and open your eyes."
Yami moaned slightly and warily opened one bloodshot eye. She gently squeezed the eye ointment bottle and a drop of liquid went in Yami's eye. Yami instantly felt relief and gladly opened his other eye. Once both eyes were treated, Carla immediately took out her books from her backpack and started doing homework without another word to Yami. Two hours later, a tired girl was almost done with her homework. She did it quickly, knowing it wouldn't be good but it would do. And she still had history! In the meantime, Yami had been lying on Carla's bed, his eyes almost done recovering from the pepper spray.
"So, what do you do now?" he asked curiously.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower and if you're still here when I'm back, I'll officially consider myself to be insane." Carla replied wearily.
She took a long hot shower, and hoping against hope, returned back to her room. ::sigh:: He's still here. Then as hormones would have it, she realized she was only wearing a towel in front of a guy. Spirit, or no spirit she couldn't have this. She grabbed the Millennium Puzzle, and was about to chuck it out when-
"What are you doing Carla?"
Carla turned pink despite her tan. This guy was clueless.
"I am going to change into my school clothes...so GET OUT." She said with gritted teeth and for added measure she put the confused puzzle in the bathroom, and dearly wished her room had a lock.
Once she was changed into her uniform (blue polo shirt [to match her mood as her school's shirts came in every color] and khaki skirt) she sleepily headed towards the breakfast area.
"Hola, Carla! Did you sleep well?" said an over-cheery Aunt Marie (well everyone's over-cheery when you've only had 2 hours of sleep) as she ushered Carla into her seat.
Carla began to mechanically eat the buttered toast and drink the chocolate milk.
"Yes."
"Eat up, Chiquita (little girl), you are so thin! Anyways, guess what! I've decided to stay here for two months!"
(O.O;;;) Carla began to choke on her toast, and had to gulp a lot of milk before she could speak.
"You're WHAT?!"
"I'm staying here for two months...Carla you have some hearing problemas."
"Umm...Yes!" said Carla with false enthusiasm. In her mind she was crying. No, this couldn't be happening. Why, oh why me? What have I done to deserve this? As if hearing that last thought Aunt Marie said,
"After you had thatnightmare, Carla I decided to stay here until your fear of the dark, which you obviously have, is conquered. Won't this be fun?"
I will KILL Yami.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Look what you forgot in el bano (bathroom)? (she held up the puzzle) Good thing I had to wash my hands or I would've never found it. You will simply look guapa (pretty) with it on! Don't worry I already put the chain on." said Aunt Marie. Aunt Marie slipped the puzzle on her neck and then looked adoringly at Carla. (A/N: telepathic thoughts= /YamiCarla) Later at the bus while Carla was trying to finish her History homework...
/You don't seem happy/
ya think!?Carla was too tired to be in awe that she could speak telepathically to Yami.
/I know you are tired and that you haven't done your homework well, but you seem more unhappy about me...was it about the looks those children made at you, when they saw you had a millennium item?/
...ummm...sort of...well it had to do because they now view me as a huge nerd...::sigh::...plus they still remember that Barney sweater...
/I found your memory of a Barney sweater incident, but what is a nerd?/
I'll explain to you the whole teenage social standing system just so you'll stop pestering me one day. Also, don't try to read my mind, those thoughts are private, and anyways I got to get back to work...and with that Carla closed the mind link.
Carla got more of those "looks" as she got off the bus and as she walked by the jocks' and cheerleaders' lockers she heard snickers. Unfortunately, Carla's locker was right in the middle of the "popular" kids zone so she had no way to escape the evil snickers. (Yami was concerned when he heard snickers but Carla wouldn't let him interfere) Finally after she had hastily grabbed her books that were needed, she went into her zone. Then she said hello to a nice girl who had strawberry blonde hair and odd green-blue eyes.
"Hey Natalie!"
"Hi, Carla...Uh-oh that isn't one of your crazy Aunt Marie's presents is it?"
Carla sighed and nodded.
"You poor thing, well at least you can stuff it in your backpack. You look like you didn't sleep!"
"And that's not the worst thing, Natalie not only is Aunt Marie staying here for two months but maybe I'm going insane but there seems to be a-" Carla was interrupted by the first bell ringing and she went to English. English went by in a sleepy daze, well at least the snickers had stopped since she had stuffed the puzzle in her backpack. And it wasn't until P.E. did anything out of normal happen.
/Carla put me on your neck NOW./
(surprised at Yami's tone) Why?
/Because it's smelly in here, and maybe you're too sleepy to feel it but once you have a Yami you should always stay in contact with the Millennium Puzzle/
No, I think people are starting to forget about the puzzle, and I don't want the comments and snickers to start again
/You leave me no choice aibou. I must take over and I'm sorry/ Yami then took over Carla's body. (A silent Yu-Gi-Oh! was heard only to Carla) And well let's just say...tri-colored spiky hair and straight brown hair were never made to mix. Carla seemed to be a bit taller, her eyes now had hints of red, and most importantly of all her usually tame straight hair, was now a spiky mess. (think spiky Yugi's look on a girl...agh!) This was clearly not as easy as simple as it was with Yugi who was a look-alike of Yami with few exceptions.
Carla was freaking out when she found herself in a soul room that looked a lot like her room except it was more of a raspberry color with occasional odd hieroglyphs here and there. She wanted to go back into the girls P.E. locker room, and suddenly she was there, only in spirit form. She saw all the girls giving Yami odd looks. Natalie looked very concerned (what a good friend) and was attempting to flatten out the spikes with her huge brush. She succeeded somewhat as the hair flattened except the bangs (think Yugi's blonde spiky bangs). Carla glared evilly at Yami, knowing he could see her.
Yami...
/Yes, I know hikari, I will give you back your body on the condition that you wear the millennium puzzle. Right now, you are too weak to overpower me, and I can see you and your friend don't like the new spiky look./
TTFine. You know that I hate you right now.
/You will see that I am right later on when you are not so grouchy/
With that, Yami gave back Carla her control on her body, and lucky for Carla her hair went straight again.
During P.E. while they were running laps around the track outside, Natalie asked the question that had been causing an awkward silence between Carla and Natalie in P.E.
"Carla what happened back there? First you seemed really spacey like you were in another world, then all of a sudden you seemed completely different. I, for one know from personal experience that your hair is incapable of spiking and your eyes aren't reddish."
Knowing that this had been coming, Carla took a deep breadth,
"Well you see Natalie, I don't know if you'll believe me but there's a spirit living inside this freaky puzzle who's a pharaoh (Natalie cocked an eyebrow in disbelief). I'm serious, Natalie what you saw back there was when the spiky-haired pharaoh took over my body as he feels that I have to always wear the puzzle around my neck because I am his 'hikari' or whatever."
Natalie still looked at Carla with a bit of disbelief.
"Yami, please show yourself."
/If you feel that you must, but know that I won't show myself to every person you ask me. It's just because you seem to really trust Natalie and have a strong friendship like Yugi had with his friends.../
So, Natalie and Carla walked over to the demented water fountain, where no one was, and suddenly Yami appeared in his ghostly form to the girls. (A/N: He's still wearing his Egyptian clothing)
Natalie gasped but luckily didn't scream. Yami smirked at her, and Natalie suddenly smiled mischievously and whispered to Carla,
"Carla you are so lucky, he is hot!" which caused Carla's cheeks to turn red.
For the rest of P.E. Carla filled Natalie in with the details. In fact, Natalie invited Carla to watch a movie tomorrow after school (today was Thursday), which meant they were on good terms.
Everything seemed perfect until history. (A/N: Dun da Dun!!!!)
Carla sat next to Samantha, the eighth grade brain who had straw-colored hair, blue eyes, a ton of freckles, and wore glasses. Samantha was perfect in academics and she knew that the teachers favored her so she used it to her advantage. Carla and Samantha were on friendly terms as far as history went (Carla was smart too). Since, history was last period, Carla was incredibly sleepy as she took notes on the American Revolution. On the right side of Carla sat Phillip Quail, a short Egyptian who was mahogany-tanned with an Afro of black hair that had a serious case of dandruff. Phillip was a brain too but mostly, Phillip just played games during class (he thought he was too good to take notes). Stuck-up Phillip was the King of the 8th grade geeks.
"Hi Carla, what's up?" said Phillip while a now-awake Carla tried to inch closer to Samantha with no avail.
"Umm...nothing." Replied a scared Carla as Phillip's bushy hair came into view (she could already see the white specs of dandruff).
"Are you doing anything Friday?"
Agh! Yami, help!
/What's wrong hikari?/
I think Phillip is going to ask me out on a date!
/What's wrong with that?/
I DON'T WANT TO! HE'S A POMPOUS GEEK!
/Then tell him no./
"Well Phillip I'm going to see a movie tomorrow with my friend Natalie." Said a nervous Carla. Please, just say ok, and leave, please!
"Cool! I'm going to the movies with my friend Eric (also a geek). Maybe we could meet up and afterwards I'll treat you to ice cream"
No response. Carla knew she couldn't get out of this one. She was doomed. She didn't want to break his heart, as it was obvious by Phillip's eagerness, he had been planning to do this for a long time. Carla knew what she had to say. ::sigh::
"Sure. I'd love to."
She was now the queen of geeks. Huzzah.
Poor Carla. Don't worry, lots of humor will be coming up. The more reviews the more chapters, so review!
