Peeps: I am still working on that chapter, I promise as soon as I'm done it will be up ASAP, I'm sorry for the frustration I have caused you, be a little more patient.
Here is chapter five... I was a little scared I wasn't going to make it good, I mean I think its good, but you are my reviewers so... you tell me. Okie, enjoy.
Téa threw herself on Riku's bed; the girl dropped a pillow on Téa as she rolled onto her back. Her arms surrounded the cushy pillow and smiled, her eyes closed and Riku dropped the duffle bag on the floor and sat down, pulling off her jacket and sighing. "Fun night, huh?"
"The best." Téa said pushing her hair back away from her face. She let out a heavy sigh and Riku looked over at her, black hair cascading over her face. "Did you end up giving that guy your number?"
"No… hell no." she laughed and Téa sat up and pushed the pillow away.
"Come on Riku, he gave you his best French accent."
"Well, he must have failed the class. Besides I'd rather have a guy like your boyfriend, sweet and caring and…"
"A little overbearing sometimes."
"Téa… are you having doubts about your relationship?" she sighed and crossed her legs, tucking her feet under her legs. She did love Yami but suddenly the need for something less familiar was creeping up on her, close on her heels. It wasn't Yami at all; she was still a teenager looking for that one thing that could keep her. She loved dance but it wasn't enough… she needed more. "Téa?"
"No! No doubts… I love Yami completely and fully." She did, it wasn't a lie, but that urge to breakaway was nearly holding her by the throat. She swallowed and rolled onto the floor and Riku tossed her pillow at her and Téa dragged down the blue blanket, resting her head on the pillow.
"Do you wanna go straight home tomorrow?"
"Of course not… I've got school, what do you thinks in that duffle bag—heads?
"Feels like it."
"It's just some books with my uniform and after school clothes. Do you have to work in the morning?"
"Yes." She reached into her bag and pulled out her pack of cigarettes and pulled one out brought it to her lips and held it between her teeth while she looked for her lighter.
"That shit is going to give you cancer and kill you."
"We all die some time." Riku said flicking the lighter, trying to spark it.
"Some faster than others." Riku smiled at the girl as the end of the cigarette burned with the fire from the lighter. Téa closed her eyes and shook her head, she would only have so long to sleep, and true she couldn't stay out all night while going to school but as she thought and felt before and a hundred times over… she was a young woman who needed more than the back life, she wanted to travel and find the spark to her life, dance and she wasn't sure but… take life with both hands, not tether to someone if she believed they would hold her back. Maybe it was time to breakaway and if she could do it without—without hurting Yami and being depressed than it would all be okay. Well time was a funny thing, by the time the sun rose and she was waken so that she could take a shower, get ready for school and eat breakfast she had forgotten all about leaving Yami and finding her calling in life. She walked out with Riku, their arms linked together and both laughing about the day they may or may not have. They got into her beat down car and waited till the engine warmed up so that they could drive off.
Riku kissed Téa on the cheek and Téa waved as she slammed the door shut and Riku peeled out. A hand brushed across her shoulder and she turned, a bright smile on her face. "Hey Yami!" she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders and they shared a brief kiss. Her other friends, Joey and Tristan and Ryou were making their way over to them. Joey was grinning with his hands in his pockets. "What are you all smiles about?"
"New TV, baby, new TV." He smiled, extending his arms out to accept a hug, making his way closer to her, but as he wrapped his arms around her, he bent her backwards trying to get a kiss. Giggling Téa tried pushing him off, Yami grabbing him by the shoulders, laughing as well. "Give me a kiss, Téa."
"You're high!" she laughed as he tried again, finally she was able to shove him off.
"No, just a good mood, I've had my nap and all. She smiled and Yami hooked his arm around her waist.
"Well the only guy who'll be kissing this girl would be me."
"Only if you're good," she faced him and leaned close, when he moved to kiss her she turned her head and took a step forward, and started running just as the bell set off for all kids to get their asses inside and get into class as fast as they could. Yami smiled and put his hands behind his head. He turned and saw Yugi running towards them.
"Hey, you're late."
"Grandpa needed me." The four boys nodded and they all followed Téa's example and made their way swiftly inside before they all got detention for being late.
She closed her eyes, the teachers drone voice sending her into a sleep, she could still hear him and he allowed her to sleep because she managed to keep her grades up there with the best, but he stopped her once when his class was over and warned her that if her grades began to slip he wouldn't stop embarrassing her if she feel asleep until her grades were good for over a month. She tapped her pencil against the paper. Sleeping wasn't really working, she was feeling anxious. The bell finally wrung. She smiled and jumped out of her seat, collecting her things and she made her way down to the locker area, she passed the crowed, people muttering where she thought she was going, of course she wouldn't be telling any of them. She stuffed her things into her duffle bag and changed her shoes. She locked the slippers up and left the building. So she was cutting class. What was that, a couple of weeks suspension and that was only if she was caught. Which she might as well be, she wasn't even worried, how was life suppose to go her way if she stuck to the rules every single day?
Téa took a deep breath, holding the duffle bag tight to her side and she began walking, of course she was too busy thinking about what she was going to today that she wasn't paying much attention, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and yanked back, her heart nearly leaped out her mouth as a car rolled by the tires close to her toes. She looked to who grabbed her and her eyes widen. He was the most attractive man she had seen in a long time, considering she had always been looking at her boyfriend. His hair was the same color brown as hers, his blue eyes darker than hers and narrow instead of wide and round, his skin a slight peach hue. Her heart not really gone could be felt thumping slowly in her chest, the thoughts of nearly being killed dim in the back of her mind as she drank in this handsome face. "The light was red, you should pay better attention."
"You saved me… I mean… thanks—thank you."
"Yeah, okay. Be more careful." He let go of her arm and shoved his hands back inside his pockets of his trench and started walking off again. She narrowed her eyes and took a step before a run, chasing after her savior.
"Hey! Hey, wait." Téa stopped by his side and he gave her a sidelong look. "I'm Téa Gardner and you?"
"Seto Kaiba." He grunted. Téa closed her mouth, almost frowning.
"Are you cutting class or…"
"Listen! I kept you from getting flatten like a Frisbee, I didn't ask that we start being friends so… off you go." He turned and pulled open a door to a shop and she stopped in front of the shop before turning and making her way, trying to remember what she was going to do. Before death and someone who seemed worse than death interfered.
