000000000 Chapter 2 00000000

Jou woke up with a foul taste in his mouth. It didn't take him long to realize that it was his own blood from the night before. Jou had come home late that night after going to the movies with his friends. His father had been drinking and beat his son as soon as he came home.

Jou ignored the pain burning through his body as he got out of his makeshift bed. He needed to shower and get to school. Jou was always late for school, which always resulted in after school detention. Jou didn't really mind the detention so much as the beatings that came with home arriving late. Today Jou planned to get home on time, and maybe get a little cleaning done.

After his shower Jou crept to his father's room. Just as he thought, his father was dead asleep. Well, that's a relief! The last thing I need is for him to make me late for school again. Jou thought to himself. Jou went about his morning routines quickly and silently.

Before long he was out in the street walking to school. Jou took one last look at his house before turning the corner. It was an old battered building. The walls looked as if they had fallen down fifty years ago and had been propped up by sticks ever since. It was made worse by the surrounding buildings. The entire neighborhood looked like it had been hit by a tornado. Jou hated his old house and the man who owned it, his abusive father, Wheeler

Jou walked in a few seconds before the final bell rang. Mr. Torres was very surprised to see him. "Well, Mr. Wheeler, it is nice to see you on time."

"What can I say; I'm just eager to learn today!" Jou had a reputation for hating school, as well as being late. As soon as he said this the entire class broke out in laughter, except for Seto. Once the class was calm Mr. Torres decided to begin assigning the projects.

"Malik and Marik." The boys gave each other high fives.

"Honda and Yugi." Honda and Yugi were Jou's best friends. Jou was usually paired with one of them, so after hearing they were paired he was curious as to who he would get to work with. He hoped it was someone smart so he wouldn't have to do any work.

"Yami and Anzu." Anzu squealed and hugged Yami. Yami twitched and tried to pull her off. It was no secret that Anzu liked Yami, but he was involved with Yugi, and didn't really like her.

"Ryou and Bakura." The list went on until the very end. There were only two people left and everyone knew who they were. The only thing left to see were the boy's reactions.

"Seto and Jou." Seto had figured around half way through the list that Mr. Torres would pair him with Jou, simply out of spite. He really wasn't surprised when he heard his name. Jou, on the other hand, was shocked.

Jou jumped up. "What the hell! I don't want to be paired with moneybags! He will try to rip my head off, or kill me, or something!"

"You stupid dog. If I were to rip your head off it would kill you."

"Excuse me gentlemen, I want you to pay attention to me, now. Any problems you two have will need to be settled later. I need to continue on with my class," Mr. Torres yelled at them.

Damn, I can't believe I'm stuck with moneybags! Jou thought with a sigh. Oh well, at least it's not as bad as it could have been. I could have gotten Anzu.

"Ok Jou, now it's time to add the flour." Anzu says in her annoying high pitched voice. "Now remember, I'm your friend and I will always be here for you. Good luck measuring the flour!"

Jou measures out the flour and adds it to the mix. He starts mixing the batter when Anzu starts to talk again.

"I'm so glad we are working together Jou. This is such a great opportunity to bring our friendship to new levels. What could be more friendly than baking a cake together. I am so happy!" Anzu squeals while jumping around the kitchen.

"Friendship, friendship, friendship…." Anzu's voice fades out as Jou comes out of his day dream.

Jou shuddered at the thought. Yea, Kaiba is defiantly the better choice.

Mr. Torres explained their project and all of the requirements. They were going to have to research different cultures. They would have to write papers and turn inposter boards. The groups would also have to prepare a native dish from their country to share with the class. "Alright class, we need to see what countries the groups are doing."

"We call Egypt!" Malik and Marik screamed at the same time.

"Alright."

"Wait," Yami yelled, "Why do they get to do Egypt? I want to do my project on Egypt!"

"Well, What about me?" Bakura yelled to the pharoh. "I want to do Egypt as well!"

Mr. Torres silenced the boys. "I don't see what is so special about doing your report on Egypt, but since none of you can agree I will choose who does it."

The Egyptians looked at him expectantly. There was a pause, and right before any of them had a chance to take out their items he spoke up. "Jou and Seto can do Egypt." The yamis were furious as their teacher assigned the rest of the countries. Jou just laughed at them for a moment before realizing he didn't know anything about Egypt other than what he was told in the dueling competitions. Ah, shit. He thought.

Well, I hope you liked it! If anyone has any tips or suggestions for my story please tell me! I have my plot thought out, but I don't have a lot of details. For instance, I didn't plan on bashing Anzu in this fic, but since it was suggested I went for it. So yea, tell me what you want to see and I will try to fit it in!
