"Hello? Tea is that you?" It was Yugi.

"Yes…" It occurred to me that he was unaware of my feelings unless Joey had told him.

"Great! Tea… It feels like I haven't talked to you in three months. Are you mad at me?"

I had another urge to yell obsenities, but I found myself only half as angry as I was before, and barely able to recall why I had been mad, "Oh, no. I've been really busy lately."

"Oh, that's good, I knew Joey was just being paranoid when he said…"

I hung up, Joey had told. I wasn't entirely sure why, but it seemed like a bad thing, and I no longer wanted to make up with Yugi. Tears filled my eyes for a reason I couldn't explain and the phone rang again, I assumed it was Yugi and picked up quickly, "Go away Yugi!"

"Yugi? Awright, what did he do now?" The voice wasn't Yugi's, it was Joey's.

I dried my eyes quickly and answered, "Oh… It's you Joey. Sorry, I-I thought…"

"What did the little freak do?" I had never heard Joey insult Yugi like that after they had become best friends, and it surprised me.

"Y-yugi didn't do anything, I just woke up from a nap and he was in my dream… Did you want something?" I wasn't sure that was a very smooth lie, but it didn't matter.

He dropped the matter, "Uh, yeah, but I forgot what it was, I'll come over and see if I can remember."

"Okay." I hung up and waited for him to show up.

Someone knocked on the door, and I opened it, but to my surprise, it wasn't Joey, but Tristan.

He had a bouquet of flowers and was wearing a tux. He smiled really big, "Hey Tea."

"Uh… Tristan?" I wasn't expecting him, and I had already promised myself to Joey, but overall, I was neutral as far as Tristan himself.

He cleared his throat, "I was wondering if you were busy tonite…?"

"Well, actually…" Joey walked up then, at the most inconvenient moment and I stopped mid-sentence.

Joey eyed me suspiciously, "What are you doing?" He stared at Tristan, "Is there something you're not telling me?"

I stared wide eyed at both of them, "No, no! This-this isn't…"

"I can't believe you Tea!" Joey looked hurt, but I hadn't even done anything. He ran off full speed looking like he'd never talk to me again.

Tristan who had been quiet for the past few minutes, spoke up, "Er… So anyway, are you busy?"

I felt like beating him to a bloody pulp, but I decided to let out my anger another way, "Yes…" I said through clenched teeth, "I am QUITE busy, really."

He took a few steps back, "O-kay then… I'll… uh, just go…" He ran off too, and I was suddenly very alone.

Wow, two chapters! Sorry they're so short, I wrote both in school today during LA class, my teacher's so nice. I don't really have much else to say so…. Thanks for reading, chao!
