Chapter 2:
-------------------------
It was another typical day in the lives of Mitsuke and Selena. They grudgingly forced themselves out of bed and took their usual route to school.
"I hate school," Mitsuke sniffled. "The teachers hate me, too. I keep failing my tests." She swung her book bag around and bawled miserably.
"Well, it'd help if you'd study once in a while," said Selena.
Mitsuke gaped at her. "What's wrong?" she asked. "You seem a little out of it today—you're not happy."
Selena arched her eyebrow. "Ya think?"
Mitsuke folded her arms firmly against her chest. "Gee, what's got you so pissed off?" she muttered. "It'd help if you'd smile once in a while. You're not still worked up about that guy from yesterday, are you? Forget him! He's not worth it…"
"WHAT GUY?!" asked Marik, standing beside her.
Mitsuke shrieked and fell over. "DON'T do that!" she hissed. "And why, dare I ask, are butting into our conversation?"
Marik shrugged. "Just bored," he responded casually as if they'd known each other for years and not just a week ago. "Hey," he said, placing his arm around her shoulder. "Wanna go to the movies with me this Friday?"
Selena snickered, "I'll leave you two alone," and walked away, ignoring Mitsuke's pleas.
"No!" shouted the brunette, slapping Marik's arm off of her. "I'd rather date a monkey! Screw you! Selena! SELENA! Get your butt back here and kick this guy's ass!" She leapt and tried to run.
"Aw, come on," said Marik, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her back. "It'll be fun!"
Mitsuke squirmed and called out, "Rape! This freak is sexually harassing me!"
Some boys passing by stopped and watched. "Hey, Marik, you gonna do her, too?" They laughed, pointing at the helpless girl and left her to deal with her own problems.
Mitsuke blushed and took a deep breath to prepare for the next shout-out. Only, Marik covered her mouth with his hand just before she had the chance to scream.
"Hmm…you're a spunky one, you know that?" he asked.
Mitsuke looked up, glared at him, and said some muffled cuss words at him. "Fffhhnn…aaah!" (Fuckin' ass!)
"Hey, Ishtar!" greeted some of Marik's other pals. None, to Mitsuke's disappointment, bothered to help their buddy's new victim.
Marik chuckled and smiled at her. "Do I have a yes?"
That bastard! thought Mitsuke. There's only one thing I can do…
And she did it.
She bit him on the hand—HARD.
Marik let go of her immediately and cursed. Mitsuke stuck her tongue at him, "Nya nya!" and took off before he could stop her.
Dashing past some students, she learned that rumors spread as fast as a blazing wildfire. Enjoying the fresh memory of Marik's face when she bit him, she skipped to her homeroom and resumed her everyday seat.
"So," said Selena with a smirk on her face. "How'd it go with Romeo?"
Mitsuke smiled and nodded, "Surprisingly good."
Selena sat down in her desk and rested her head on one hand. "So are you going?"
"Hm? Where?"
"To the movies."
"Nah…"
"Why?"
"Cuz."
"Why?"
"I bit the guy."
Selena gasped and burst out laughing. "You WHAT?!"
Mitsuke blushed. "I bit him, okay?" she said, uncomfortably.
The door opened and in walked Marik Ishtar, who stomped over to his seat beside her and slammed his backpack down.
"Careful, don't break it," Mitsuke remarked.
"I'm going to get you after school," he muttered, grudgingly. "You won't be able to hide behind your little friends or the teachers for long."
Mitsuke stuck her tongue at him. "Just watch me."
Marik raised his fist, ready to punch her when the door opened and Mitsuke chirped, "Hi teacher!" He sat back down and felt the urge to pull a handful of her hair out.
Selena shot him a side-way look that said, "Don't even think about it."
Marik grumbled and pulled out a book from his backpack. No doubt, he was pretending to read while devising a plan to get back at the golden-eyed brunette, who was sitting beside him.
The bell rang and it was time to move on to their first period class.
Mitsuke's and Selena's schedule were a bit different on certain days like Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. So, as Mitsuke was heading towards the auditorium, Selena was heading to her foreign language class: French.
It wasn't so bad being apart for the next two periods, but as she looked to her left, she saw Marik Ishtar heading in the same direction. She gawked at him, anxiously.
As if sensing that she was watching him, Marik spun around. They glanced at each other, not saying a word. His eyes examined her as if staring right into her soul. His lips curved into a twisted grin.
"Eep!" squeaked Mitsuke. She whimpered and ran through the auditorium doors where she knew he couldn't hurt her.
THEY WERE DOING A PLAY ABOUT PETER PAN!
Mitsuke gasped and clapped her hands together. "Ooh! I wanna be Wendy!" she said, excitedly.
"You have to audition first," said a female voice.
Mitsuke turned around and saw Serenity. "Hey," she murmured. "You're Joey Wheeler's sis, right?"
"I sure am!"
Mitsuke scratched her head. "Yeah, I figured," she muttered. "Both of them are just too happy. It'd be stupid not to notice."
As she was about to take a seat at the front row, she heard Serenity say, "Hi Marik!" and couldn't help but look back.
Marik chuckled. "Hey Serenity," he responded, flashing her one of his secret smiles. "How's your mom doing?"
"Oh, fine," she answered. "We just moved back to Domino, you see. I told her that I wanted to move here so that I can go to school with my big brother. I really like the people here! I've made so many new friends!" She blushed and added, "And I especially like you, Marik."
Mitsuke flinched and beat at her chest, making gagging sounds.
Marik raised his eyebrow and asked, "What's your problem?"
She coughed and cleared her throat. "Ahem. Nothing."
"Uh-huh…"
Mitsuke smirked and strutted off, leaving Serenity absolutely clueless and Marik rolling his eyes.
Second period was Language Arts. Everyone was in the hallways, either rummaging through their lockers, meeting their boyfriends/girlfriends, or just trying to get away from someone they hated.
Mitsuke groaned, "I'll be lucky if I don't have to see him again."
A hand gripped her shoulder. She turned around immediately and saw Selena all up in her face. "Boo."
Mitsuke shrieked and thumped her on the head. "Don't scare me like that!" she cried.
Marik passed her with Serenity clinging to him. "Bimbo," he snickered.
"Oh yeah?! Why don't you turn around and fight me like a man!" she shouted at him. "You're a freaking asscrack, Marik!"
Marik stopped and glared at her. "Shut up, ho."
"No good, mother-fucking, playboy, BASTARD!!!" she growled as Selena watched with great relish.
"Whoa," she (Selena) laughed. "I don't know how people can say you're nice, Mit."
Mitsuke sighed, "Let's go. I don't know how much more of this I can take." She groaned and stomped through the hallways, cursing nonstop.
"Hey, Mit!" Selena called after her. "My second period is biology! Sorry! You're on your own!"
Mitsuke fell over. "Ugh…forgot."
"SORRY!!!"
"I'm screwed," she muttered, getting back on her feet. "NO! He's screwed! He's gonna regret the day he's messed with me!!!"
"Miss Yoshiko, get to class!" shouted the principal, who was prowling around the hallways like a ravenous tiger for any sign of a tardy student.
And he'd caught one!
Mitsuke bowed, "Sorry, Mr. Principal, I'm going!" and zoomed to her algebra class.
"Whew!" she sighed, sinking into her desk and catching her breath.
"What happened—got lost on the way?" asked a male voice.
"No Marik, only slow people get lost…yes people like you." She replied harshly sitting down in a random seat.
"You know, that wasn't very nice." Said Serenity.
"Well I'm not trying to be nice!" Mitsuke replied sticking out her tongue. 'Oh wait till lunch…I could really start something with her' she thought.
Meanwhile at biology class, Selena completely zoned out on the teacher who had a bad accent of some sort. She was thinking of the suicide letter that she had to write sometime soon….That's when she got tapped on the shoulder by the person sitting next to her…
"You are really sick." Said non other than Kaiba. Selena arched one eyebrow and looked down at her paper, there were thick letters above her heading - thick from all the times she went over them……………
"Free me-Kill me faster"
