CHAPTER 2: In Denial

Mai had just unlocked the door of her apartment and entered when, "Drrr, drrr"

"I'm coming," said Mai, "Sho"

She picked up her phone, "Hello"

"Hello Mai, um, have you seen Joey anytime today?" It was Yugi.

"No! Why would I? I mean, it's not like I go out to lunch with him everyday"

"Oh my golly! We lost him round about lunch time! That's so peculiar! How did you know that I lost him at lunch time"

"I didn't! I, er, just presumed, he, he"

"Oh well thanks, bye"

"Bye." Mai placed the phone back onto it's stand and sat down on her chunky couch.

What had happened earlier? She had a gut feeling that was very against that 'brush'.It was so strange, she had felt nothing for the young adult before, so why now?

-----

Joey had arrived home and had just closed his bedroom door when, "I believe in, you better believe that, I-I believe in"

"Hi?" he answered, before the chorus of his favourite song ended as his cellphone ringtone.

"Hi"

"Yuug"

"Joey! Where were you today"

"Uh, I was, er, nowhere. I was, er, home"

"No you weren't"

"Yeah, I was, the phone was just disconnected"

"Oh, I see, well, bye then"

"Cheers Yuug"

But Joey was anything but cheerful. He was confused. Everything told him that what had happened earlier was wrong, but, did Mai feel the same way as he did? He was silent for a moment.

Maybe.

A/n: Sho! an exclamation of annoyance or surprise
