My first Joey fic! I'm so proud of myself, so plz be nice when judging

Warning: Overexaggeration on Pagans, Don't be offended i'm Pagan myself

Joey stumbled down the hall. He'd only been in his new home a week and already, he didn't like it. He headed down the stairs and out the door towards his new school. They didn't wear uniform, so Joey wore blue jeans, a white shirt and dog tags. He touched his cheek then put his hands in his pockets. He sighed. He missed Yugi and the gang and hell, he even missed Kaiba a little bit. He took his time walking steadily along, he was already 20 minutes late for school. On his eventual arrival he was met by the evil Mrs. Tetchberg. She was a plump woman, her black hair tied back into a bun, she wore a black out of fashion dress that stopped at her knees, white socks and black flat shoes. She looked at Joey in the eyes, tapping her palm with a ruler. Joey could of sworn her dark green eyes flashed dangerously.

"You're late" She growled

"Yea" Joey kept his eyes fixed on hers. He learnt from experience to never takes his eyes from the enemy when confronting them. "Over slept"

"Take your seat"

They had a stare down for another minute before Joey pulled away and made his way to his seat. He knew already that the day wasn't going to be good.

After class Joey made his way to his locker. He had somehow survived the lesson with Mrs. Tetchberg without aggravating her anymore than he had. He put in his locker combination and dumped his bag inside, then slammed it shut. He headed down the corridor to his next class.

"Leave me alone!"

Joey stopped and looked over his shoulder. His eyes set on a girl backed up against the lockers. Infront of her stood a bleached blonde haired boy around Joey's height and on her right stood a smaller black haired boy.

"Jordan, leave me alone!" She looked sternly at the blonde. He just smirked and brushed a strand of her black hair behind her ear.

"Now Kei, why don't you want me around?"

"B-because" She stammered "Y-you're a jerk!"

Jordan looked to his companion. "Am I a jerk, Kieran?"

Kieran smirked "Nah!"

Jordan ran his finger across the rim of her glasses "Guess it's just you who thinks that"

"'Ey! Leave her alone!" Joey made his way towards the trio

"Why should i?" Jordan turned his attention to Joey

"'Cause like she said" He looked to Kei "You're a jerk!"

"And what you gonna do about it?" Kieran growled standing next to Jordan

"Whatever I have ta!"

The two boys lunged at Joey. He just gave them a few cracks to the face and they ran off, leaving Joey to crack his knuckles. "An' don't try that again!" He looked at Kei "You ok?"

She nodded clutching her books "Thanks"

"No problem" He watched her as she shyly tucked her hair behind her ear "I'm Joey, Joey Wheeler"

"Kei, Kei Ember" She looked up at him and smiled slightly

"'Ey, don't be so nervous" He smiled reassuringly "I ain't like them" Her brown eyes lit up feeling much safer "What you got next? I'll walk ya there"

"Biology"

"Same 'ere" He started off down the corridor, Kei closely followed. She give him the impression that she was the nerdish type, with the glasses and the books. She tucked her hair behind her ear again, it was tied back loosely. "So what you do for fun?"

She shrugged "Read"

Yep, nerd. Joey sighed "Don't ya play Duel Monsters?"

"I don't, no"

"You even tried?"

"No, not really" She looked up at him "Where did you get that bruise?"

Joey touched his cheek "This? I got inta a fight"

"You shouldn't fight, you could really get hurt"

Joey shrugged and opened the door to the classroom letting her in first. She thanked him and took her seat while he sat on the desk.

"What you doing later?"

"Nothing why?"

"I was thinking…" She looked at the table shyly "Maybe we could go to yours and…study?"

Joey didn't like the thought of studying, but it would be better than doing nothing. "Sure, but how about we do it at yours?"

"Sure" She nodded and smiled

The bell rang and the students made their way into the classroom like cattle so a slaughter house, unknowing what awaits them. Joey moved to his seat as the teacher entered shortly after the herd. He was a tall slim man, with thick black hair and dark blue eyes hidden by glasses. His lab coat covered his simple white shirt, black pants and of course the simple black shoes.

"Morning class" He said cheerfully "Today, we're dissecting a frog! And when I say we, I mean you"

The class moaned. Some put their heads on the desks, other slid down in their seats hoping to hide as the teacher passed out the experiment.

"Have fun class!" He smiled "Don't forget, look for the heart and the brain!"
