Morrgan slammed her locker door shut, and turned the dial on her locker back to a zero. Grabbing some money, she moved down the hallway smoothly, until she came to the lunchroom. Moving over to the counter, she bought a ham sub, and slid away so the next person could order their lunch. Glancing around the vast and surprisingly clean room, Morrgan make a quick assumption about each table.
'Nerds… Geeks… Stuck-up populars… Idiots…' Morrgan's azure eyes finally landed on the table, where she felt a strange mind jolt run through her brain. Her eyes had locked on the head of a boy. Year 11, Morrgan presumed. Blue jacket… blue pants… crazy insane hair… could it be him? Perhaps. Morrgan picked up her sub, and moved over to the table where a girl with cinnamon brown hair was sitting, at the same table as the guy with the insanely odd hair. Looking around the table once, she discovered that he wasn't the only one. What there an insane hair-trend going around here, or something?
One boy had a curtain of blonde hair that seemed suspended over his eyes. The other boy had a hairstyle that was slightly unicorn-ish… slightly. The third, was a girl who's brown hair was slightly lopsided, and seemed as if it was about to fall off her head. Seriously, her head looked super-flat.
"Hey. Mind if I sit here?" Morrgan asked, keeping her voice polite.
"Okay!" The girl with cinnamon-coloured hair said, in what Morrgan thought to be an overly cheery kind of voice.
"Thanks. I'm Morrgan." Morrgan took a seat between the girl with the flat-looking head and Cinnamon Girl, and then quickly looked across the table, over at guy-with-the-insanest-hair-of-them-all. "Hey…Do you have a brother, by any chance?"
"Huh?" The guy with the overly insane hair to beat all insane hair styles looked up at Morrgan. "Uh…No…" Morrgan frowned as he said this. Why did he look so uncomfortable?
Morrgan narrowed her azure eyes, seemingly in thought. "Really? Because I could have sworn…" she shook her head, and smiled. "Sorry, it's just… you look like someone I saw… recently…" Morrgan reached up, and absentmindedly touched the angry bruise that ran along the left side of her jaw. Realizing what she was doing, she dropped her hand with a quick smile, twirling her finger in a look of her strawberry blonde hair, pulling it over her bruise to hide it. 'Stupid thugs,' she was thinking all the while.
"R-really?" Morrgan watched as the guy-with-the-insanest-hair-of-them-all shifted in his seat. What he… nervous?
"Yeah," Morrgan said, nodding her head as well.
"Morrgan, what grade are you in?" Morrgan turned as the Lopsided Head Girl asked.
"Year 12," Morrgan replied. "I would be in year 11, but I started school a year early. My parents decided it would be best for me, so that they could go pursue their…hobbies; while I was at school." She gave a slightly bitter laugh, thinking of how her parents were always trying to find excuses to go off looking for more genie lamps.
"Really?" Cinnamon Girl flipped her hair over her shoulder.
Morrgan had been about to reply, but the bell signaling the end of lunch, and the beginnings of the next period sounded, making everyone get up out of their seats and hurry out of the lunchroom. Morrgan plastered a smile to her face, and followed. Why had guy-with-the-insanest-hair-of-them-all, and the Lopsided Head Girl lied to her? Morrgan knew a lie when she heard one (mostly). because that was the kind of crap her parents had always pulled on her. What were they hiding that was so important, that they felt the need to lie about it? Maybe… Morrgan started formulating stupid ideas in her head, as she scurried on to her next class.

"Hey, Morrgan!" Cinnamon Girl ran up to her after school.
Cinnamon Girl grinned. "Yuugi invited me over to his house later with Jonouchi, Anzu, and Honda, and he wanted to know if you would come?"
"Jonouchi, Anzu, and Honda?" Morrgan blinked once, suddenly remembering where she had heard Jonouchi's name before. On TV, when they had been broadcasting the coverage for Duelist Kingdom. Jonouchi had been one of the finalists! As well as Yuugi…or at least the-guy-who-looked-like-Yuugi-but-apparently-wasn't-Yuugi-at-all.
"Yeah!" Cinnamon Girl said. "Oh, wait. You don't know who those people are! Lopsided Head Girl is Anzu, and the guy-with-the-insanest-hair-of-them-all is Yuugi. The Unicorn-ish guy is Honda, and the guy who's hair which seemed to be suspended over his eyes is Jonouchi!"
"And…you are?"
"My name's Kapera! It means 'this child, too, will perish!'" Kapera grinned insanely.
"Uh…great?"
"Well, see you later!" Kapera ran off, leaving Morrgan looking baffled on the sidewalk.
