"Talk"
'Thoughts'
"Cool, we all have the same class." Tea said excitedly.
"Yeah. This is the only one." Tristen said as he did a high five with tea.
"Don't celebrate guys. Yami and the others are in this class too." Ryou pointed out.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Joey said.
"We better get our seats, at least I should. The teacher just hates me." joey said, hurrying towards his seat.
"Maybe because you never pay attention and throw spitballs." Tristen said.
"Not to mention sleep AND drool." Yugi added.
" Thanks a lot guys. Tea probably thinks I am some kind of disgusting freak now." joey said sarcastically.
"Don't worry joey. I had a lot of friends who did that." Tea said smiling.
"Here comes the teacher. Hopefully, yami and the others won't show up." ryou said.
"Shit, they are coming. I just saw them." Yugi said panicking.
"And pretty boy duke is with them." Joey said angrily.
A handsome guy with black hair and green eyes entered the room. All the girls went all goo. They started blushing and desperately trying to get his attention. He seemed to enjoy all that, as he winked at some girls, who sighed. Tea felt like laughing, but restrained herself. The guy suddenly noticed her and a smirk appeared on his face. Tea ignored that and turned to yugi and the others. She was seated next to yugi. Ryou was on her left, joey and tristen behind them. Yami's group was in the row on the left corner of the room, next to the windows.
Duke saw the new girl. 'So this is the one who stood up to kaiba.' Marik and the others had told him. 'No matter, she is till a girl and no girl can resist me. I will have her begging in no time.' He walked towards her. She turned away, but he figured she was shy.
"Hey there. You are new in the school, am I right?" duke said to her. She turned to face him. He had to admit she was hot. No wonder the others were drooling at her body.
"Yeah. I am new." Tea said and turned to talk to the geek gang again.
"Maybe I can give you a personal tour of the school. Just you. And Me." duke said suggestively.
"No thanks. Yugi already gave me one. Just me and him." Tea said.
"Oh come on. What do you see in him? He is just a small fry. You need a real man." Duke said.
"And that's exactly why I can't go with you." Everyone in the class had heard her. They were all surprised, but not yugi's and Yami's gang. Infact, they were happy. Seto wasn't happy but he felt satisfied. He was starting to like her.
"Maybe you should leave before you get even more dissed, duke." Joey said. Duke glared at him.
"Shut up dog boy. Chew on some bones and leave us alone." Duke snapped at joey.
"You wanna start dice boy. Cause I am ready." joey said getting up.
"You are not worth my time mutt." Duke said. He then turned to tea. "No one has ever said no to me. This is new to me and I like to try new stuff. I'll see you around, beautiful. And by the way, the offer still remains, just you and Me." he have her one sexy smile and walked towards his friends. Meanwhile, all the guys in the class were shocked and all the girls were glaring at tea.
Even the teacher was surprised. But he didn't say anything. He didn't want to mess with them. He considered it an honor to have them in his class. This meant that they considered his class "cool" enough to attend. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"okay class, we are gonna do a group assignment. So get in groups, no more then four. I will give you the assignment when you have settled in your group." The teacher said. Everyone started going to his or her friends. Tea looked at her friends sadly. There were five of them. That meant one of them would have to be in another group.
"This teacher always makes groups of four." Yugi said.
"That's why I hate him." joey said.
"No joey, you hate him because he wakes you up during class and saves our hearing from you monstrous snoring." Tristen said wisely.
"Now do you wanna start tristen?" Joey glared at tristen.
"Guys, quit it. We have to decide who is gonna be out of the group." Ryou said.
"I will." Tea said.
"But we are the only ones that you know here. And the others won't let you be with them after what you did to duke." Yugi pointed out.
"It's no problem. Maybe I can work individually. And I just figured that kaiba's group has six people. Two of them will be out as well." tea said.
'No they won't. They will be in one group. They always do that and the teacher never says anything." Ryou said.
'That's not fair. If they are allowed, so should we." Tea said.
"Here comes the teacher. Talk to him if you want, but I don't think he'll allow us." Joey said as he quickly hid his face behind a book.
"Yeah. We are not his favorite students, you know." Tristen said copying joey.
"We'll see." Tea said and waited for the teacher to approach.
"You have five people in your group. One of you will have to go." The teacher said. Yugi opened his mouth to say something but tea started speaking.
"Then that group has six people. They should be asked to form a group of four as well sir." Tea said, pointing to yami and kaiba's group.
"It's not of any concern to you who I allow to have more people, Miss Gardner. Now, I will ask you once more to form a group of four." The teacher said sternly.
"The fact that you are favoring some students is of concern to me sir." tea said, raising her voice a bit, making all the kids stare at her.
"I am not favoring anyone Miss Gardner." The teacher said, trying to intimidate the girl with her authority.
"Then why are you allowing them to have as many people they want?" Tea said. The teacher glared at her but she didn't back down.
"May I remind you that I can punish you for talking to your teacher like this." Th teacher said through clenched teeth.
"I am not doing anything wrong sir. I am saying what is right. Do I have to remind you that if such acts reported to the principal, can cause a lot of trouble?" tea said confidently.
In the back, bakura, yami, marik, malik and duke snickered out loud whereas kaiba just smirked. The teacher glared at tea.
"Well Miss gardner, I have to say that—."The teacher started to speak but he was interrupted by marik.
'Let her be in the group sir. I want to see what those can losers can do with her in heir group." Tea wanted to say something to shut him up but didn't considering that he was helping her. The teacher glanced at marik, then back at tea and stepped back, sighing in defeat. Marik smirked at tea and mouthed, you owe me one my dear. Tea glared in response and turned back to her gang but not before stealing a glance at kaiba, who was looking right at her, with amusing eyes.
"Wow tea. That was…" yugi started, amazed.
"Brilliant." Ryou finished.
"Not brilliant, super cool. Super duper cool." Tristen said cheering.
"Yeah tea. You da man." Joey said. Everyone stared at him. He sweats dropped and corrected. "I mean the woman, I mean the girl." Tea just laughed.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
"This is the highest mark I ever got in this whole semester." Joey said excitedly.
"That stupid teacher. He gave us an A-. We did a much better job then that. It should have been an A+." tea grumbled.
"Maybe he was still pissed at you for humiliating him in front of the whole class." Ryou said thinking.
"I can't blame him. But tea was right." yugi said smiling at tea.
"I know. So what are you guys planning to do, now that school is over?" ryou asked.
"Me and tristen have to go to the gym, and practice." Joey said.
"For what?" tea questioned
"We are in the school's basketball team." tristen said proudly.
"Cool. I've always loved basketball. I also play it." Tea said.
"Yeah. But not as good as us." Joey said arrogantly.
"Oh yeah. Maybe I am." Tea challenged.
"You might wanna come to the gym with us. There are tryouts for a new player. Derek graduated." Tristen said.
"Sure. It will be nice to be a part of a team again. I was the captain of my previous school's team you know." Tea said.
"I must warn you. My brother and all of his friends are in the team as well." yugi said.
"I bet they didn't even had to try. They are "cooler" then anyone else with talent." tea said.
"Actually, they are pretty good. Our school hasn't lost a game ever since they started playing." Ryou said.
"Let's go man. Yugi, ryou, you want to come?" joey said.
"Yeah sure. Why not." Yugi said and they walked towards the gym.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
As soon as tea entered the gym, she felt like she shouldn't try out for the team. There were only guys there and no girl. Marik spotted her and walked towards her.
"So my dear, you have come to repay me. Though I would like it to be done in a more private place, like my bed room." marik whispered the last part in her ear.
"I am not here to repay you marik. I never asked you to help me. You stepped in on your own." Tea said crossing her arms over her chest.
"So, why are you here little kitty. Didn't I warn you to stay away from bad boys?" Bakura said.
"We here, are the bad boys, very bad boys." Malik said and stood beside marik as well.
"But now that you are here, lets play." Duke said smirking.
"Stay away from her you horny bastards." Joey yelled at them.
"You are lucky we have practice today dog boy. Or we wouldn't have let you enter." Malik said.
"It's okay joey." Tea said. Then she turned to the trio, standing around her. "I am here to play, but not with you. I am trying out for the basketball team."
Then you will be playing with us tea. Because we are in the team as well." yami said.
"I am trying out for the girls team." tea said.
"You are so attractive when you lie to be with us." Bakura cooed.
"I am not lying." Tea said angrily.
"Yeah right. You are trying for the "girls" team, when there is no girls team." marik said and tea stared at him shocked, as he started laughing. She turned to joey, which smiled sheepishly.
"I must have forgot to mention that there's no girls team." joey said.
"Joey, I am gonna kill you. How could you forget?" Tea said. She started to leave, when a voice stopped her. It was kaiba.
"I don't think you would have made it into the team if there was a girls team." she turned to glare at him.
"I'll have you know, I am not just good at it, I am damn good." tea said.
"Really? Then prove it." He said. Tea looked at him confused, but the smirk on is face told her what he meant. Her eyes widened.
"You mean, try out for the guys team?" she managed to say.
"You said you were damn good. It shouldn't be a problem for you then. So, are you going to back down?" seto said. He loved playing with her.
'Umm…. I…" she wasn't sure.
"And there I thought you were gutsy. You sure showed enough courage arguing with the teacher. I guess I was fooled." Seto said, hoping that this would get her in gear, and it did.
"I'll show you. I will try out for the team and I will make it in too. You just watch me," she yelled. His smirk grew wider. This was exactly what he wanted. Then the coach came. He blew his whistle and told them to gather around. Bakura told him about tea and he turned to stare at her, as if she had horns.
"This isn't a sport for girls, so I think you should leave." The coach said. Tea could see kaiba smirking from the corner of her eyes.
"That is a very sexist thing to say sir. And I think I can handle this game." Tea said.
"Give her a chance coach. I want to see how good she is." Seto said.
"Okay then. Yami, step in the court with her. Lets see what she is made up of." The coach said. Joey and tristen looked worried.
"This isn't fair coach. We never have the star player go up against the new player." Tristen argued.
"I am the one who makes decisions here tristen." The coach said.
"It's okay tristen." Tea assured him. She knew the coach didn't want her to be in the team. He didn't consider having a girl in a boy's team a good thing. But she would show him.
She would show everyone, especially kaiba. 'Why didn't he have a twin, just as hot as him, but only nicer. Why should all jerks be sexy?' she thought.
Yami stood in front of her, spinning the ball on his finger. What a show off. He was trying to show her that she didn't have a chance. She got in position. He dribbled the ball, moving forward, confidently. Tea didn't move from her spot. She let him come to her. But he thought she was nervous. When her reached closer, tea swiftly grabbed the ball from his grasp, but she didn't wait there. She dribbled the ball as fast as she could and threw it. It landed in the basket, surprising many people in the gym, shocking the coach. Even yami was shocked. He just stared at her.
"Told you I was damn good." She said, her eyes on kaiba, who smirked in response.
"Okay. That was good. Everyone lets practice." The coach said, recovering from shock.
"So, am I in or no?" she asked the coach, who looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Why don't you play with them for a while, so I can monitor you? I'll tell you by the end of the practice." He said. Tea turned around to join yugi, ryou, joey and tristen. They congratulated her and she thanked them.
They all got in their positions to play. Bakura started by dribbling the ball. Everyone lunged at him. She started moving when she felt someone brush past her and whisper "impressive. You really are damn good." Tea stopped dead I her tracks and found kaiba run towards the others. 'Did he say that?' she thought. And before she knew it, she found herself blushing. Why did some words said by him meant so much? And why did she feel happy all of a sudden? She was acting like some stupid girl with a stupid crush. 'I have to stop this. He is just a jerk, a sexy jerk. Damn it. I am still thinking about him that way. Okay, I am gonna stop… now.' She shook her head and joined the others.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
"That's the most fun I had in all the practices." Yami said.
"Me too. And the reason is this damn hot girl." Marik said as he smirked at tea.
"You know, every time we have a new member, he is inaugurated. I think it's time for your inauguration." Bakura said.
"And I know just what she has to do. It will make her and me very happy." Duke said seductively.
"Oh no. She is not going to do anything you want her to do. Because all of it is gonna revolve around sex." Joey said.
"Yeah. No way." Tristen added.
"Then I guess you don't want to celebrate with us in the cafeteria." Yami said faking disappointment.
"Yeah. No one is there so we can have a lot of fun." malik said.
"Food and food fight." Joey said excitedly.
"I like that. Let's go. Yami is buying." Bakura said.
"I am?" yami said. Tea stared at him and he continued, "I mean of course I am." When she turner around, he glared at bakura who smiled innocently. They all started walking towards the cafeteria, talking, laughing. Tea suddenly turned around, eyes looking for kaiba. She found him, gathering his stuff, ready to leave. He found her staring and smirked. He dropped the bag and followed. Tea smiled and continued walking. She had made many friends in such a short time but unknown to her; she had made many enemies as well.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Who are the enemies? Can she really trust yami and the others? Do they really want to be her friends or just want to get close enough to screw her? Review and let me know what you think.
