A/N: I would like to thank all who reviewed but since I can't technically do so here please excuse this. This chapter starts outbasically as chapter three but in Tea's point of view
Chapter four: The Road to Detention: A Serene Moment Disturbed
After the teacher's announcement Tea made all possible efforts to not encounter Malik. Whenever Tea would see him from afar, she would immediately duck into the nearest classroom and wait until he disappeared. It would be hard though to dodge him during detention so for now she would just avoid him while she could. 'My stepfather is going to kill me' thought Tea as she made her way towards the cafeteria.
Tea just knew that Pegasus would be furious with her for landing herself in detention but it wasn't even her fault. 'If Yugi had just let go of me none of this would have happened. I swear one of these days I am going to set things clear and break his puny heart. It's not fair that I got detention while he got off scotch free. That teacher is such a…' she thought in frustration as she saw Yugi waving frantically to her from the entrance of the cafeteria.
It was a bit pathetic to see him so desperate for her attention. He just would not accept the fact that he was only her friend and was not and would not ever be anything more. She did not know why but she felt as though there was someone out there for her and it definitely was not him. 'Can't he take a hint?' she screamed mentally and diverted towards another part of the school. She was just in too much of a bad mood to listen to any of the mindless jerks that she considered friends.
She made her way towards one of the empty classrooms that she usually hid in and closed the door behind her. She would have locked it if not for the fact that someone might think something inappropriate was going on as happened a lot in this school. She and her friends had once had to cover for another girl while she was in the classroom making out with a jock. It had been beyond humiliating for the girl when she was found out since the principal did not believe their cover story. She had been grounded for two months and had never done anything like that again.
Tea looked around the room and discovered a stereo lying next to a desk. Tea figured that someone must have left it behind and wondered whether or not it held anything. As she opened the hatch, she found a cassette inside that said "Heavenly".
Being the curious girl that she was, she pressed play and smiled as a soft melody began to play. Without thinking she began to sway to the rhythm and let it take over her. All bad thoughts disappeared from her mind and she had never felt so relaxed. She continued to dance as memories from her childhood began to race through her mind. She remembered her mother and the times that they went to take dance classes.
Her mother had been an amazing dancer when she had been young. But a sudden pregnancy had forced her to quit her dreams of ever becoming a professional dancer. She had been forced to settle for teaching dance at the local community center but put everything she had into it. Tea had acquired her mother's talents and some even said her looks. Tea's mother had been beyond happy when Maximillion Pegasus had proposed to her. They had met at a local dance theatre and it had been love at first sight. Tea also had been happy for her mother but that had all come to a halt the first time that she saw Pegasus look at her, truly look at her.
Pegasus had become obsessed with her and she never had the heart to tell her mother. Tea did not want to spoil her happiness. When her mother died, Tea had been beyond consolable. She had locked herself in her room for days without eating. When she finally left her room, she found Pegasus smiling as thought nothing had happened, from then on her life had been a nightmare. She had stopped dancing and had refused to do so for anyone but her mother who no longer breathed.
As the music continued to flow, so did the raw emotions in Tea. She found herself on the brink of crying but held in the tears. She had come here to be alone not to be tormented by the thoughts of others. She poured her heart into it, not caring of anything. She performed as though her mother was there routing her on as she had when Tea was but a child. The steps felt natural as though she had never stopped dancing. She sensed the music coming to an end and did her standard stance to finalize her performance. When she opened her eyes, she could not contain her shock to see, out of all the students and faculty in the school, Malik Ishtar standing there and crying.
She remained quiet and frozen to the spot. Tea noticed that neither had said a word and that it was almost time to leave to class. She decided that the best thing to do was to leave quietly and pretend that nothing had happened. She gave Malik one last look before passing by him and leaving the classroom. The rest of the day Tea wondered what had transpired that had made Malik Ishtar cry. He was the strongest and most thickheaded person that she had ever met and would have never thought to see him cry.
The last alarm of the day sounded and Tea made her way towards the detention hall. As she knocked on the door to her fate, she wondered if she would find the answer to her question and also why she cared so much to find out.
Misery: So like it? Tell me but remember no flames. So had to cut my first class for this but finally got it out, besides I hate that class and the professor. Leave a review…later
