Chapter 2: Meeting Yugi
"Riyo! You're here early!" said my cousin Tea as she walked up to me about ten min.'s later after the fight with my dad. I was still angry at him. I mean, who couldn't be? He practically screamed in my face and said that no one in this world really needed a friend! Just because he didn't have one when he was in school, doesn't mean that I can't have one!
" Ya," I replied back to her, trying to keep a smile on my face, which was hard because I was still really angry at my father, " I…uh…I thought that I should get out a little early today to see what time you normally pass by."
"Oh! Okay. Well, we're not really going to be going to school right off. We're going to go wait for one of my friends and walk t o school with him. That is if you want?"
Did I really have a choice? I needed my cousin to guide me to school! And I didn't want her to get in trouble with her friend because she didn't come by and walked with them to school.
"Sure I don't mind! Besides, it would be great if I got to meet your friends!" I said. After I said that, tea lit up like a light bulb.
"Great! Let's go!" she said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me down the sidewalk, leading the way to her friend's house.
Tea had told me about her friend Yugi a lot more than her other friends Joey and Tristian. So I guessed that we were going to yugi's house. All I knew about Yugi was that he was smart, a great duelist, brave, and had a heart of gold. I learned al this from Tea's tongue. I got the impression that she had a crush on him.
Joey and Tristian, on the other hand, were a different story. Joey had blond hair, a strong duel monsters deck, and a tough guy personality but still very sweet at heart. Tristian had brown hair and a tough guy personality like Joey did. Tea had told me that both Joey and Tristian were the best of buds and always looked out for each other, like every one else did in the group did. We finally stopped in front of a two floor game shop.
"Come on! He's waiting inside!" she said as she started to drag me again. She opened the door and led the way inside. At a counter at the back of the store, was an old man. He looked up from his work and smiled at us.
"Good Morning Tea! Yugi's still up stairs getting ready. Who is this you've brought with you this morning?" the old man asked. He seamed really nice!
"Morning Mr. Mouto! This is my cousin Riyo. She's transferred into our school. Her father's a scientist and got a new job a KaibaCorp."
"Oh! I see. Well it's nice to meet you Riyo! I'm Yugi's grandpa. Now if you two excuse me, I'll go get Yugi." He said as he walked out of the room.
"You're going to like Yugi! Trust me!" Tea told me as Mr. Mouto walked out of the room.
"Well I guess I have no choice but to trust you, don't I?" I said to her. Tea giggled a little at my joke. A few seconds after Mr. Mouto walked out of the room, we both hear his voice call up the stairs to his grandson.
"Yugi! There are a couple of young ladies waiting for you down stairs!" Both Tea and my self giggled at this. Seconds later, another voice could be hear from within the building.
"I'm Coming!" called down the seconded voice. A sound of feet coming down the stairs filled the silence as we waited. Finally, a short teenaged boy popped into the room. I guessed that this was Yugi. With in seconds, the boy noticed that I was standing next to my cousin.
"Morning Tea! I guess that this is your cousin that you've been talking about?" He said with a smile. Tea had mentioned me to her friends! This put me in a state of shock. She had never mentioned me before to any of her friends, ever! As I was recovering from my state of shock, Tea replied to her friend.
" Yes, this is my cousin Riyo! She's going to be going to our school with us!"
"That's great!" he said. " My names Yugi, if Tea hasn't already told you. It great to finally meet you!" he said as he held out his hand.
I held out mine and we shook. "It's a pleaser to meet you too! I've heard so much from my cousin about you!"
"Well, we better get going if we don't want to be late for school!" said Tea.
"Ya. We better. Bye Grandpa! See you later!" Yugi called to his grandfather.
"Bye kids!" Mr. Mouto called back as we headed out the door and onto the street.
