Chapter Two: meeting old and new friends
"Whoa! let me get this straight… you almost crashed your brother's new car into somebody else'!" Zech's voice rang through the whole room and Mokuba's receiver
"Not so loud Zechs! I'm not deaf, but I will soon be if you continue yelling like that!" Mokuba snapped at his best friend
"Sorry buddy… I just can't believe it!... what were you thinking anyway?" Zechs asked interested about the little incident and minimizing his voice
"Well… I was really proud of myself, having passed a lesson without my brother grunting, signaling that I made a mistake, even just a tiny one he makes a big deal about it…" Mokuba explained to Zechs
"Well… you know Kaiba always the perfectionist… Then!... you were not finished yet!" Zechs said eagerly
"Well… I was so happy that I sped up a bit, through the streets… then I saw this car it was really cool!... The new BMW model! And as I recall it was not even out yet… and then I just realized I was driving Seto's car towards the car… it all happened so fast… I couldn't even remember how I managed to stop" Mokuba explained
"Hmmm… BMW huh… what color was it?" Zechs asked knowing where this conversation was leading to
"it was a black one… you should have seen it was really cool!" Mokuba said eagerly
"And what did the driver of the car do?" Zechs asked
"Boy! Was she mad, she yelled at the top of her voice I was really scared… she looked like she was gonna bite my head off" Mokuba said
"She!... What did 'She' look like?" Zechs asked
"Well… she had brunette shoulder length hair, pale skin and had crystal blue eyes and guess what!" Mokuba suddenly said
"What!" Zechs asked
"She yelled at my brother" Mokuba answered eagerly
"Whoa! she did?" Zechs said amused
"Yeah, they were yelling at each other in the middle of the road… good thing her phone rang and she instantly left… if she hadn't... I wouldn't know what would happen next" Mokuba said
"Zechs! Let's go!" Tea called from the main foyer
"Sure sis! Just a minute!... my sis is giving me a ride, see ya at the shop!" Zechs said as he hung up and went to his sister
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Ready?" Tea asked
"Sure, by the way sis, that new car that just arrived, who was it from?" Zechs asked
"I don't know… Nana said it was a welcoming gift from the company, and they said it was the newest model the only one running in Domino, but they didn't have to bother it's such an expensive car" Tea sighed
"So are we gonna use it?" Zechs asked
"Huh, no way that car experienced too much excitement for one day… let's just say I had a really close encounter this morning" Tea said immediately seeing her brother's confused face and refusing to recall what happened
"Okey…" Zechs said knowing what really happened but still held an innocent look
"Ahh! I'm gonna be late!... let's go!" Tea as she grabbed Zechs' wrist and ran to the garage they crawled in a Blue Honda Civic and sped off quickly…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN THE KAIBA MANSION…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Hey Zechs, its too early!" Mokuba yelled but he gave up hearing the dial tone
" sigh his sister is here!" he said to himself remembering what Zechs said before he hung up and left his room
"Where are you going Seto?" Mokuba asked seeing Kaiba making for the stairs
"I'm going to the university to enroll for the second sem" Kaiba replied
"but it's too early." Mokuba said
"I have to, to be able to choose an early schedule, I have too much work to do and besides second sem starts on Monday" Kaiba explained
"Oh! okey… by the way can you give me a ride Seto?" Mokuba asked
"To that shop? Sure, but I thought you won't go until this afternoon?" Kaiba asked
"I thought so too, but Zechs has already left and heading for the shop and I don't want to be the one to keep them waiting" Mokuba said
"Let's go then" Kaiba said and continued his journey down the stairs
"Thanks Seto" Mokuba said cheerfully and followed his brother and a few minutes later they left the Kaiba mansion
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN THE SHOP… OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Thanks for the ride sis!" Zechs smiled at his sister getting out of the car
"No prob little bro, want me to pick you up?" Tea asked
"Nah, I'll probably get a ride with Mokuba" Zechs said thinking of a plan on how he was gonna persuade Kaiba in giving him a ride home
"Okey… don't be late… or Nana will have your head" Tea said ignoring the last word Zechs uttered and recalling that Zechs hasn't asked Aurora's permission in leaving the house
"Yeah, yeah, aren't you already late?" Zechs asked
"Wah! I Have to go later bro!" Tea said and drove off Zechs smirked and was about to enter the shop
"Hey Zechs!" hearing his name he turned around and saw his bestfriend
"Hey buddy!" Zechs called
"Hey, where's your sis?" Mokuba asked
"You just missed her… whoa talk about cool car, is that it?" Zechs said reverting his eyes towards Kaiba's Porsche
"Yeah… but I liked the one we almost crashed in earlier, better" Mokuba said softly hoping his brother wouldn't hear
"Gardner! Come here, you too Mokuba" Kaiba called from his car
"I want nothing of your misguided adventures and you, be careful around him Mokuba" Kaiba ordered as Zechs and Mokuba approached his car
"Yes sir!" Zechs joked saluting at same time
"Seto…we won't do anything foolish" Mokuba promised
"then we won't have any fun then…" Zechs interrupted
"Very funny Gardner, now Mokuba call me if your done here…" Kaiba said
"sure Seto… bye!" Mokuba replied
"bye Mokuba, remember Gardner none of your funny business" Kaiba said
"Sure, no problem" Zechs said and with that Kaiba drove off
"Were you trying to piss my brother off!" Mokuba asked
"Well… I was hurt when he insulted my 'misguided adventures'" Zechs quoted
"besides… your brother doesn't trust anyone except you" Zechs added
"Well… you know my brother and the hardships we had to endure…" Mokuba trailed off
"Hey!... speaking of your brother… could you ask him to give me a ride home?" Zechs asked
"Sure… I'll try" Mokuba replied
"Great!... let's go then" Zechs said and the both of them entered the shop
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIN UD…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Damn! I have five minutes to find the stupid testing room!" Tea said running from the parking lot towards the university's building,
"Umm… excuse can I ask where the testing room is?" Tea asked a drowsy security guard half asleep on the job
"Huh! It's in the 2nd floor after the mezzanine floor" he replied and went back to sleep afraid the guard might yell at her Tea resisted to wake the guard to ask for more specific directions like…
"Which part of the second floor? That big couch potato!" Tea grumbled stomping up the stairs
when she reached the second floor…
'classroom, classroom, classroom, classroom… Damn where is that testing ro… AH!' Tea yelled when she turned the corner and bumped into someone
"I'm so sorry" Tea said getting up and bowing her head constantly apologizing
"It's alright, It was my fault" the voice of the person on the floor said
"No, it's my fault I'm so sorry I was looking for the testing room and started to panic when I couldn't find it" Tea said helping the boy on the floor up when she looked at him he looked familiar he had outrageous tri colored hair and big violet eyes
"You look familiar… Yugi Motou?" Tea blurted out
"How did you know my name?" the tricolor haired boy replied worried
"It's really you! it's me! Tea Gardner we used to be friends during pre-school!" Tea said excitedly
"Tea Gardner, really! It's you?" Yugi replied Tea hugged her childhood best friend and Yugi hugged back
"it's been a really long time… what are you doing here anyway?" Yugi asked
"Well… Oh no! I have one minute left! Yugi can you help me find the testing room?" Tea said frantically looking at her watch
"Sure… it's right here…" Yugi said pointing to the door beside him Tea would have fainted with frustration if she wasn't panicking
"We've been standing here for three minutes and I didn't notice that door…" Tea trailed off
"We'll let's go! You'll be late for the test" Yugi said opening the door and going in Tea smiled thankfully and nodded following Yugi in,
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO inside…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the room was really big full of so many armchairs that were a block tile apart and a medium sized desk in front
"Sit down Tea" Yugi said Tea sat down with relief seeing that Procter was not there… yet?
"Okey take out your pencil and be ready for the test" Yugi started, opening a drawer in the desk and taking out some booklets and papers
"What!... wait a minute Yugi? you're the Proctor!" Tea asked confused
"Well… the teacher that was to test you was absent so I'm a substitute… I'm sorry but I have to ask you to keep quiet during the exam" Yugi said apologetically
"Oh! Sorry…" Tea said embarrassed but understood
"Okey… this will be a 70 minute test, the first test will be the I.Q. test answer as many as you can in 40 minutes" Yugi said handing Tea her answer sheet and booklet. After an hour and ten minutes of scribbling on paper…
"Phew! Finally done" Tea said relieved and standing up and giving Yugi her answers sheet
"Where are you going?" Tea asked seeing Yugi clean the desk, picked up her answer sheets and started leaving the room
"I'm bringing these to the guidance to be checked, wanna come?" Yugi asked
"sure" Tea replied
Yugi smiled and left the room Tea followed suit and left the room as well
"Where's the guidance anyway?" Tea asked curious
"In the mezzanine floor" Yugi replied and made for the stairs with Tea trailing behind
In the mezzanine floor Yugi took a path to his right, passing the accounting office and walked on through the halls, when they turned the corner Yugi bumped into someone luckily the papers didn't fly off
"Watch where you're going Motou!" a cold voice came
"Sorry Kaiba" Yugi replied and moved to the side to let him pass
"Hey it's you're fault!" Tea said angrily Kaiba glared and his eyes fell on some one familiar, someone he met earlier this morning…
"You… it's a small world after all… and it's not my fault because he! Bumped into me!" Kaiba said coolly Tea got really mad and was about to say something but Kaiba placed a hand up
"I don't have time for this… besides I have heard enough of your yelling" Kaiba said coldly and left
"What!... the nerve! Who is that guy anyway?" Tea said scowling
"That was Seto Kaiba CEO of the Kaiba Corporation… he seems to know you…" Yugi trailed off fixing the rumpled papers Tea shook her head
"No he doesn't we just had a really close encounter this morning" Tea said
"Huh?... What happened?" Yugi asked
"Well… it happened like this…" Tea told Yugi about the close encounter she had with the Kaiba brothers this morning while they walked in halls. When she finished
"Whoa, you almost had an accident!...well… Mokuba can be a little wild sometimes…" Yugi trailed off imagining what Mokuba's face would have looked like when Tea yelled at him and couldn't resist snickering
"Well… he is still a kid… and I understand that, besides he did say sorry and I forgave him but unfortunately I couldn't say the same to his brother" Tea said rolling her eyes
"Yeah… that's Kaiba for you, hey by the way did you know Mokuba and your brother are friends?" Yugi said stopping in front of the guidance office
"What!..." Tea asked but was cut off when Yugi went in. After a few minutes he was back
"They said you'll get your result after lunch break…" Yugi said when he approached Tea
"Okey, I can wait, by the way what did you say a moment ago?" Tea asked
"What?" Yugi asked confused
"About Zechs and Mokuba being friends…" Tea replied
"Oh… that well actually they're best friends they've been classmates since like forever and since they've been classmates for so long they became attached to each other and eventually they became the best of friends… you'll wait so you're enrolling today?" Yugi asked
"Well yeah can you accompany me?" Tea asked shyly afraid Yugi will leave her
"Sure, but it takes so long since you're still a freshman, let's come back later for your results and then we can start the agonizing process of enrollment" Yugi said
"Sure let's have lunch then… tests makes hungry" Tea said and then laughed
"That reminds me I'm meeting a couple of my friends for lunch… you should to meet them" Yugi said hoping Tea would agree
"Huh?...oh I don't know…" Tea trailed off
"Aww, come on it's alright they're great" Yugi said encouragingly as he pulled Tea
"Okey, if you say so…" Tea said and the both of them went out the building
"Where are we going?" Tea asked when they were outside the campus
"It's near, just on the other side of the road to that mall but let's use the skywalk to cross the thought of fast moving cars is freaks me out" Yugi suggested
"Sure let's go" Tea said giggling and then they both walked up the skywalk when they were on the other side
"where're you meeting your friends?" Tea asked getting nervous
"In Jollibee, a new fast food restaurant, the food there is really delicious, let's go! my guess is Joey's already eating ten times his body weight!" Yugi said as he ran towards a restaurant with a statue of a bee standing and smiling happily by the entrance Tea ran after him.
When they were in front of the entrance Tea observed carefully what the restaurant looked like it's theme color was ketchup red and the customers that they're attracting so much were of the young population but over all it had a really welcoming feeling, Yugi went in and Tea tailed after him Yugi stopped in the middle and then stood on tiptoes, looking for his friends there were a lot of people since it was mid day, time for lunch break Yugi looked for his friends but his height failed him. Luckily…
"Yugi! Here!" an NYC accented voice called, Tea looked at the farthest table
"Yugi let's go" Tea said as she lead Yugi since she was the only one who can see them amidst the thickening crowd when they reached the table all eyes fell on Tea
"Hey guys! This is Tea Gardner my childhood friend and Zechs' sister" Yugi introduced
"Hey!" they all greeted, Tea smiled cheerfully
"Sit,sit" a mature female voice said referring to two vacant seats beside her
"Thanks Mai" Yugi said gratefully and sat down Tea did so as well, beside Yugi
"By the way Tea this is Joey, Tristan , Mai, Marik and Isis" Yugi introduced
"It's really great meeting you all" Tea said bowing in respect
"Boy, you don't how hard it is to get through a crowd that big" Yugi said as he sighed
"You know Jollibee's having a really big bash, where you buy one value meal and you get one free! That's why the people, are going crazy! Like this guy here" Tristan said referring to his seatmate, Joey eyeing the food in front of him carefully
"Boy, Tea you're lucky we ordered extra, okey then let's eat!" Mai announced everyone cheered especially Joey and grabbed a few value meals
"by the way where's Ryou and Serenity?" Yugi asked
"Serenity and Ryou are practicing with Mokuba and Zechs for the band" Malik said
"Who is Ryou and Serenity?" Tea asked
"Ryou is one of our friends his brother, my brother and Marik's brother are all in Egypt right now… let's just say they're on a quest on self discovery… and Serenity is Joey's sixteen year old little sister" Yugi explained
"Okey… are you guys also going to UD?" Tea asked Yugi's friends, already feeling comfortable around them, and them around her
"I am a philosophy teacher in UD, Joey, Tristan, Ryou, Marik and Yugi are my students and Mai is a guidance councilor in Sacred Heart Jesuit" Isis explained
"How about you Tea, where do you go?" Mai asked
"Well… I was thinking of enrolling in UD, if I passed…" Tea said sheepishly
"That's great!" Joey cheered
"Yeah, Don't worry Tea if Joey passed I'm sure you will" Tristan encouraged
"Hey! what's that suppose to mean!" Joey said outraged everyone laughed and went back to their meal chatting merrily.
