Chapter 14

Marik's POV

I sat near the window watching a blue jay feed her young. I could hear Joey Wheeler behind me blabbing about himself obviously trying to impress what is rightfully mine.God! I hate his voice. So loud, so idiotic, it poisoned my ears. I gripped my desk hearing the others males complimenting her.

"Someone looks angry." It was Bakura.He leaned against the pillar separating the two big windows in the classroom.

"It's none of your business."

"Of course. Of course. Forgive me for being so invading." He was being sarcastic again.

"I just don't see why everyone has to talk to her."

"Maybe it's because she's American."

I rolled my eyes and looked back outside. They could converse with her for now but after first period, she will be mine for the taking. I smirked thinking about next period.P.E.

The only time you could see girls in tiny undersized tight shorts. I normally didn't watch them but with Keket in mine it may be worth watching. Imaging her. The sight of her legs tempted me not to mention distracted me from my teacher.

"Mr.Ishtar!" The teacher slammed a ruler on my desk. "I seem to beboring you?"

I must have had a dull look on my face. The rest of the class snickered as I stammered out a response.

"N-no. No Mr Rigsbee." I could hear Joey and Tristan laughing behind me.They would pay for that later.

For 35 more minutes Math class went on rather smoothly.I rid myself of a simple homework assignment went back to listening to a couple of idiots flirt over my property.

"So Keket,have you found a date for this Saturday's dance?"

My eyes widened hearing Joey pop the question.

"Um,no.This is my first day here.I didn't know there would be a school dance."

"Well let me just say that-AH!"

I turned around seeing Joey being pushed out of the way by Tristan.

"I would be happy to take you." He smiled brightly.

Keket giggled at them.I knew she was going to pick one of them.

"Gee,thanks for asking you two but I think I have an idea of who I'm going to the dance with."

My eyes were going to fall out of their sockets.Who is she going to pick!Is Duke? Practically every girl in school wants him.Or maybe Yugi.No not Yugi.Too short.But then again his Yami could fix that problem.

Wait! Bakura.He's perfect.His alluring voice,choclate brown eyes,and that hair!Damnit!But if he says yes that traitor going to need a doctor after I'm through with him.

Keket's green eyes come in contact with mine and she pointed at me.Everyone turned to my direction questionably.

"Marik?" Tea asked.Her questionable face turned to a smile. "Aw,that's so cute."

Keket smiled. "Yeah I know."

I viewed her stand up from her desk and sort of bounce as she came towards me.

"I hope that won't be a problem,Marik."

Even though I had tan skin I knew I was blushing.My cheeks were burning as a looked up at her beautiful face.I was tongue-tied.I wanted to answer her but couldn't.

"Marik are you alright?You don't look so good." She raised an eyebrow at me.

The dismissal bell rang and the class quickly emptied leaving only Bakura and I. As I picked up my things Bakura waited for me by the door.

"Smooth response, Marik."

"Oh shut up.She's going with me and that's all that matters."

The two of us walked down the hallway together and entered the boy's locker room.

As soon as I opened my locker a strong arm wrapped around myneck and pulled me back.Tristan and Joey rubbed their knuckles into my skull completely destroying my hair style.

"Congradulations you lucky bastard!" Joey laughed.I had forgotten they were in my 2nd period class as well.

I managed a presentable smile. "Thank you."

"So tell me." Tristan leaned on my shoulder. "What exactly are you gonna do to her after the dance?" He smirked.

I knew what he meant and that got me thinking.What would I do to her after the dance?Dirty thoughts played in my mind and bite my lip.

"Nothing will probably just watch T.V."

"Watch T.V.!" Joey shouted. "It's gonna be like midnight by the time you get her home."

"That won't be a problem."

We all started to dress as we saw our coach passing by blowing a whistle.

"Why not?

"She lives with me."

"WHAT!" Joey slammed his fingers in the locker door and Tristan choked. On what? I don't know.

"She lives with you!"

"It's a long story."

"An extremely long story." Bakura chimed in leaning against my locker.

I glared at him, threating him if he said anything.

Our head coach stomped in and raised his husky voice.

"Okay ladies today we're going to do some laps around the Johnston's girls our going to be out there so look sharp okay.NOW MOVE!MOVE!MOVE!"

Joey tapped me on the shoulder. "Here that Ishtar?"

We stepped outside of the school and it was hot.I normally could handle the heat pretty well but for some reason today was a different story.I decided to run with Bakura seeing as he wouldn't plague me with questions about Keket.Or so I thought.

"So tell me…do you think Keket will actually watch you run?"

Bakura looked ahead of us and sure enough there was Coach Johnston's girls.They were stretching and talking among one another. I scanned the group looking formy devotee.There she was.

She did look good in shorts.As I came closer I noticed they weren't as tight at the rim like the other girls'. I heard Tea call out my name as well as Bakura's.He waved but I just kept my eyes on Keket.

We were suppose to run 7 lapsbut Bakura and I ran 11 instead.I wasn't trying to impress her.I just take great pride in personal health.We all sat on the bleachers to catch a breath.

After that, we enjoyed watching the girls play an exciting game of soccer and since the field was wet it was tremendously entertaining.Keket's team was winning by 4 points something I was quite pleased about.

I smiled seeing her and Tea step off the bench to start kick off again.Keket did her last final stretches and I found myself biting my lip again.It became a habit.

She bent from her hips exposing her beautiful caramel legs and part of her butt.For once,I was thankful she was wearing such an outfit.

"Oh Joey, do you see what I see?" Tristan was talking about her I knew it.

I turned around giving him a death glare.He raised his hands in defense.

"Hey hey hey,I can look but not touch right?"

"No.Keket is mine so don't you dare look at her like that again!" I tighten my fists.

"Calm down Marik." Bakura grabbed my shoulder. "Just relax and take it easy.Besides,the game's almost over."

"What's so great about that?Tristan can still talk to her in the hallway. said that we get to play with them next.So that means you can spend more time with Keket all you want."

I heard clapping and cheering the game must have ended.Keket ran and jumped into Tea's arms indicating a clear victory.Like a pack of wild animals,the boys ran out onto the field talking or should I say flirting with the girls both the victors and the losers.

I casually walked over to Keket's little crowd of students.There was a mixture of popular pretty girls and unpopular less pretty girls.Not to mention the few boys lingering around her.

Out of all of them,Keket shone the most.I felt proud of her. Proud to be her friend,her protector,her lover. She caught sight of me and ran towards me completely ignoring the hype around her.

"Marik!There you are.I was looking for you."

I laughed a little.She was covered in mud.Another dirty thought spung in my mind and I tried my best to push it away.

"What are you laughing at?It's because I'm covered in mud isn't it?"

I didn't say anything.I just stared at her content with who she was and how I felt about her.

"So you ready to play soccer?"

I blinked. "Soccer?"

She grabbed my arm sending chills up my spine. I had forgotten the feeling of her warmth.Her skin next to mine.

But there was one thing that hurt me.The fact that she didn't know the power she had over me.The little things that could send me over the edge.

She knew I loved her but not how much. Someday I would explain that to her maybe at the dance I don't know but for now I will just have to work on beating her at soccer.

"Okay everyone!Boys versus Girls begins now!"

I stood in front of her grinning with confindence.I knew I could bet her.I just knew it.I kicked the ball away from her with ease and prepared to led my team to the first point.

But to my surprise,I unestimated her speed.I decided to shoot now.As I raised my foot to kick I unfornatly forgot how slippery and unleveled the ground was and slipped bringing Keket down with me.

I opened my eyes finding myself staring into hers.My hands where in awkward places on her body.One on her thiegh, my finger tips in slightly under the cloth of her shorts,the other on her left shoulder.

She was quite surprised as was I and noticing her panting made my mind turn perverted. A sudden spark emerged in my body,a larch that wanted Keket and all of her this time.
