Catching her eyes, he muttered few slurred words in a seductive voice. His smirk swept wider that reached his eyes. Bitterness stirred inside her but she decided playing head on is not the solution. Slowly, her tension released as her keen eyes melted and a slight red rushed around her cheek. In the sweetest tone, she motioned for him to let go. Her grin rattled merrily as his hand deftly slipped away. His eyes troubled.

Once all contact came clean, her eyes hardened as her grin vanished into a malevolent sneer. With sheer dignity, she yanked her head free and dashed away leaving the guys gawking.

"W-what the hell just happened?" Bakura braked.

Malik scoffed wrathfully and scuffed his feet. "Dame she tricked us!"

"So what next, we run after her?" insisted Bakura.

"No, we don't chase after girls, they come to us." Malik began in a monotone minded voice.

"Fine we'll get her back tomorrow." Bakura huffed, narrowing his eyes.

Tea trekked home briskly grateful that the day is finally over, despite the whole accident with the white-haired guys and the blonde guy; she thought she handled them well. Blowing a satisfied sign, she yanked her shoes off and stumbled to her room. Her fingers waggled around searching for the phone blindly. Getting a hold of it, she punched in a few numbers and attached to her ear.

Hearing the familiar voice of her friend, suspected warmth flushed inside her.

"Hullo?" Answered the other line.

Tea grinned. "Hey Yugi it's me."

His face lighted up with mischief. "Tea? Oh how was your new school?"

Tea shrugged coyly then realized he can't see her and rushed to fill him in a scurry. "Oh it was all right, quiet but not that bad." Tea chuckled stiffly.

"OMG class was so boring without you." Yugi exclaimed.

A lazy smile crackled on her face at the sound of that. "Yea so? Want to join me, though I have to tell you, this school sucks." She giggled stifling.

Tea chewed her bottom lips at the stern silence.

"Yugi?"

Momentary pause.

Swallowing soundly, he recovered in a husky voice. "I might."

"Huh? Hey I was only joking, no need to take it all serious."

"I'm not." Grimacing sourly, he spluttered in an edgy tone.

"Yugi? What is wrong?" Her face darkened in anxiety.

"Nothing I got to go now ok? Bye." Click, the phone disconnected.

Squinting quizzically at the dead line, she hesitated at his wobbly voice. Something was up. An insecure feeling bolted down in her spine as she quickly peeked at the watch that said 4:35. Pondering, she thought she had gave him time to restrain himself and decided to pay a visit tomorrow after school. Threshed with miffed thoughts, she smashed her head in the pillow and engulfed with utter dark. Triggering with torment thoughts, she slipped uneasily to sleep skipping through dinner.

The next morning, her half slit eyes were heavy as she climbed from her bed. Tumbling down the stairs for breakfast, she legs were squashy, no sign of energy. Forcing against her will, she gulped down all the food for the day ahead.

Arriving in school, she appeared sober. No one laid an eye on her as her ear strained to the teacher speaking. Her vision was blurring when she scouted out at break. Laying her head buried in the grass, her eyes went empty. The trample of footstep caught her alertness as she sat upright glaring into the iciest graze she met. She swallowed the lump in her throat and croaked meekly.

"Nice to see you again." Bakura gagged darkly.

Putting one last glance, she looked away without replying.

A slight amused look drowned on his smirk as he inched closer. His fingertip slashed cross her bare arms as she tensed in defense. Attempting a scornful look, she slit away gloomily.

"Now about yesterday." Asked Bakura.

Silence, she only glared at him without uttering any words.

"I never thought I meet such a stubborn girl? Can't speak?" Scratchy attitude wrapped in his tart voice.

Still receiving nothing but a glare layered with bitterness.

His eyes clipped wearily at the one side conversation. Urging her to respond, he bent perilously closer and examined her pale face.

"Quite a pretty face you have there eh?"

Making a rasping creak, her glare bored into his.

"That does it! SPITE!" His arm flew aimlessly.

"Get lost." Bristled as the word tumbled with chunked ice.

Taken back, he reached for her with his hands only to be rejected as she shrank back.

"Don't touch me." Warned Tea pulling a devious tone.

"Now I'm interested, quite a harsh tone you used there." He grinned feverishly. "Care to soften it a bit?"

Her eyes snatched wide with hatred as she swept a bleak look. She felt annoyed. Who does he think he is? Questioning her with his sexy tone. Oh man those eyes are putting the heat on her. Just to her opinion, she was right this school is seized with those types of boys and without a slight wince at their schoolwork. Yes this is definitely the work of a rich school. Clenching her jaws, she seeped through gritting teeth.

"Leave me alone." She lifted her weight and prepared to leave.

Sensing her motives, he sank her down with his strong clasp. His eyes stilled on her.

"You know? Girls threaten me if I leave them." Bakura heaped in a serene tone.

Jerking his grip loose, her fierce eyes met his.

"I'm not like them." Strangled loose with her plummeting arms, she slit away.

Walking in huge steps, he caught up with her and leapt her in his embrace. His warmth seeped into hers. His hand squeezed her fist.

"Going somewhere?"

Skin prickling at his touch. She fidgeted around viciously, peeking at him with deranged glares. "Hands off!"

"I like you. I like hard girls."

"Go away! You sickens me with your touch!" Pleaded Tea streaming with hot sweat.

Smiled grumpily, he fretted. "I can make you feel all the welcome in this school."

"No thanks." Shoved a cold slanted eye.

His face hardened in disgust. "DAMN!"

Just then a spiky haired guy stumbled forth and frowned. Taking one glimpse at them, he grinned feverishly. His shirt was soaked with sweat with a ball in his other hand.

"Hey what is your name?" Yami wanted to know.

Somehow she didn't sense any resentment from him and marveled at his easy going smile. Feeling slight safe, she let down her guard.

"Tea." Replied Tea.

Nodding as if it made sense. "Nice. You like basketball?"

"Yes, and I was damn good back then in my other school." Halted as she felt the heat rushed on her face. The guy was listening knowingly to her. His eyes flickered calmly.

"What is wrong, why did you stop?" Yami regarded an odd look.

Shaking her head bluntly, her face dimmed in color as she looked away.

Shrugged carelessly, he offered the ball. "Want to play?"

Bakura smirked evilly. "As if, get real man."

"Sure." To her shock, her mouth reacted on its own and popped out spontaneously. She felt bold, as she shrank away her mild self.

"Wrong man." Yami bounced back blithely.

Hearing this, patches of red seeped through her skin as his eyes stirred on her. His penetrating eyes displayed dignity and kind. Spider feet crawled against her chest as she looked to the distance. Though it was hard to ignore those gorgeous eyes. Flinching sheepishly, she smiled causally letting her shame thoughts slit.

Tracing after them to the court, she couldn't help noticing his shadowy back. It was slim with his hair gelled upward, a weird sense of fashion.

Bakura glared acutely at the brunette's eyes fixed upon Yami. Streak of mocking played in his eyes. Perhaps she liked him, at least it she appeared comfortable talking to him. Just then a figure blocked his view and landed onto him. Her blonde hair nuzzled around his neck.

"Oh hey Mai." Bakura greeted.

The blonde girl winked playfully and grinned. "Hey hun. Where is Joey?"

Pointing ahead, Tea spotted the blonde guy who she stumbled upon last day. He looked back and flashed them a smile. His graze locked onto Teas and sparkled. Dropping his ball, he came to her.

"You remember me?!" He bawled enthusiastically.

Nodding, she motioned a yes.

A frown dawned onto the blonde girl's face as she stepped toward them. She folded her arms cross her chest and arched a cocky look.

"Care to introduce us?" She requested.

Nodding Joey pressed Tea closer. "Dis is de new gurl I mentioned last day."

Scanning her with a sly grin, Mai patted her lightly.

"Ok so I'm Mai and this is Joey." Mai began.

Tea simply nodded.

"The spiky haired guy is Yami."

Strangely, she felt hot as a stir nudged inside her.

"Oh that white haired is Bakura and that other blonde guy over there is Malik." Mai said.

Her graze reverted to malicious at the sight of them. Grudgingly, she shoved a nod.

Bakura grinned. "So you want to hang out?"

Hearing the invitation, she shook her head politely. "No thanks."

They may appear nice now, but she knows their life is complicated with a vast amount of social parts. She preferred nice and simple. From the look of it, they seemed to be the top popular guys, which she would never whirl with. She disdain them from the bottom of her heart, they possess the thought they are the world. Reassuring a smile, she left absently with the others frowning.

"She left?!" Mai yelped.

Bakura eyed with ingested eyes. "There is something about that girl. She doesn't seem to fall for us. I'm intruded."

"Uh-oh, don't tell me you are going to take her on?" Joked Malik.

"You too?" Bakura doubted.

Chucking ominously, he nodded. "Yep, hard girls are a challenge for me."

Mai pouted at their decision over the plain girl but shrugged at last. "She seemed to have a pretty good attitude toward Yami."

Yami simply smiled. "Maybe. Though yes I sense this melancholy air from her. Wouldn't hurt to join the race would it?"

"Oh and me too!" Joey bellowed shrilly.

Mai glide closer and placed a hand on his chest. "You too?"

Smiling casually, he remained silent. "Sure, though one thing is for sure, she doesn't buy all those cool boy signs I dropped."

Yami blinked impishly. "You got it man, at least she agreed to play basketball with us, nope she left. Though there is always next time."
