School started that day at Domino High School. Jacks, like most incoming freshman, was dreading it. She stood on her balcony and watched cars pass on the street below. Her waist length silver blond hair flew about her in the wind. She shivered slightly. The sliver silky top her mom was making her wear was exactly warm. She pulled her worn terry robe closer around her. She leaned against the rail of the balcony, and stared out into space.

"Just another day, livin' in a brand new world." She sang softly, making up a song on the spot. She watched a black car drive by. A window was down on her side. A boy with spiky brown hair was looking out the window. His icy blue eyes met with her chocolate brown ones. Jacks smiled and waved. Surprisingly, he waved back.

"Jacks! Time for school!" Her dad called from inside the house. Reluctantly, Jacks went inside with a final wave to the boy in the car.

"Daniel! Close that window!" Seto Kaiba barked at his son from the front. Daniel sighed, but did as he was told.

"You excited about starting high school?" Kaiba asked, already knowing the answer.

"How can I be? All my friends went to a different high school." He leaned his head against the back of the seat. 'Why am I even going to school? I should be learning how to run Kaiba Corp. Dad can't keep it running by himself forever.' Daniel looked back and saw that the blond girl was gone.

"Jacks!" Joey Wheeler called to his daughter.

"Coming!" Jacks flung her robe onto her bed and ran out of her room, carrying her shoes.

"Hold up." Her mom (Mai Valentine), called stopping Jacks halfway down the stairs. Mai put her hands on Jacks' shoulders. "My little girl off to high school." Mai said with ears in her voice.

'Oh boy,' Jacks thought, rolling her eyes. "Mom, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not little anymore. I'm almost as tall as dad." Jacks hugged her mom before, shoving her feet into her shoes, grabbing her backpack and running out the door. "Love ya, byes!"

"Ready for high school?" Joey asked as he started the car.

"Yup," Jacks replied, fixing her skate shoes. "Sides, all my friends are going to be there, no sweat." She smiled at her dad as he drove on. As they pulled up to the school, Jacks noticed all her guy friends waiting outside the school.

"Anyone new in your group I should know about?"

"Dad, you've met all them already. Besides, everyone knows I'm the biggest tomboy in school, and if they tried anything, I'd punch their lights out. Hey guys!" Jacks got out of the car as her friends walked over.

"Hey Mr. Wheeler." Yukio said, smiling at Joey, his sister Anzu trailing after the group.

"Mornin' Yukio. How's your dad doin'?"

"He's okay. He says Hi from the duelist tournament." Yukio smiled, giving Joey a postcard from his dad, Yugi.

"See you later dad!" Jacks smiled, swinging her backpack over her shoulder and waving bye, surrounded by her friends. They stopped walking as a sleek black car drove up.

"Know who that is?" Yukio whispered in her ear.

"No, who?" She watched a boy get out of the car. Theirs eyes met again. Jacks smiled and waved. This time he didn't wave back. "I'm gunna go see." She started walking over to him.

"No!" All her friends tried to stop her, but there really is no stopping a Wheeler once they get something on their minds.
