Please tell me if you notice anymore in this chapter!

"Hey, I'm gonna learn with you guys today." Morrgan burst into the 11th year History classroom. "Some morons set off stink bombs in mine." No one wanted to argue with her as she took a seat.

I wonder…Kapera glance over at Honda and Jonouchi, who were doing a terrible job at holding in their laughter. Or maybe they were constipated; it was hard to judge just by looking at their faces. That's probably what they were doing. Kapera recalled them being late for class that morning.

Meh. She went back to ignoring her teacher's lecture on the Ancient Egypwhoeverwhats, until she noticed Yuugi obsessively taking notes, especially on one "Nameless Pharaoh". Kapera thought that was silly, if they didn't know his name they should just make one up. She devoted the rest of the class to thinking up the stupidest name she possibly could for the (vaguely familiar) pharaoh.

The entire class let out a sigh of relief when the bell rang for break period. Kapera abandoned her naming quest when she couldn't decide between 'Limberg' and 'Atem'. Hee. Atem.

She left her books on her desk and skittered around her classmates until she reached Yuugi's desk. "Good morning!"

"Hi, Kapera." Yuugi half-heartedly glanced up from his ridiculously large pile of notes. "And it's uh, the afternoon, by the way."

"Right, right." She looked down at his (ridiculously large) pile of papers.

Seriously, how interesting could one man be? Kapera twirled a piece of hair around her finger and spoke, hoping this conversation would be more successful than their last. "So, you're interested in this pharaoh guy?"

"Er, no, uh…!" Yuugi shut his notebook in alarm. "I'm just doing some research. For a friend."

"Oh." Kapera scuffed her sneaker on the linoleum floor, slightly put off he was lying to her. "He kind of looks like you, you know…" She noted.

"Y-you think so?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes." Kapera was getting bored with the current direction the conversation was going. She glanced over, out into the school yard. "Hey, do you want to go play basketball with me?"

"No thanks, I'm… My team would just lose. Sorry, Kapera." His 'apologetic' look wasn't very convincing. Kapera nodded and hoped her crushing disappointment wasn't showing on her face.

"That's no way to treat a woman, Yuugi," Jonouchi came up behind Kapera along with Honda. "I'll play with you, Kapera."

"Really? Thanks!" Kapera smiled.

"Jonouchi, you pervert." Anzu walked over to the small group. "You already pulled this once before, you just want to look up her skirt." Jonouchi gave Kapera a sheepish glance, like a child trying to get out of trouble.

"Okay, you caught me." He laughed. "Kapera, I swear on Kaiba's life I won't look up your skirt." He added once he noticed her concerned look.

"I'll play, too." Honda volunteered.

"Me, too!"

"Count me out."

"I'll play."

"Not me." One by one, students joined Kapera. The rest slowly trickled out of the classroom.

"Anzu, Morrgan; are you coming?" Kapera turned around to face the near-empty classroom.

"No, thanks." Anzu gave a half-hearted wave. Morrgan, lost in thought, appeared not to hear Kapera's offer. Kapera gave one a last glance back at Yuugi and walked away, leaving the trio alone in the classroom.

--

Kapera wiped the sweat from her brow and sat back against the brick wall surrounding the school. The boys had been leading in points until the headmaster and a whack of teachers had pulled Honda and Jonouchi out of the game. It wasn't just the 12th year history classroom they'd sabotaged; it was almost every 12th year classroom. Particularly Morrgan's…

Anyway, school was cancelled for a week and god knows what would happen to the two boys.

Of course, none of this really mattered to Kapera. Part of her was disappointed when Yuugi turned her down; but... In a way, she was relieved. It was evident he didn't like her and that was a load off Kapera's chest. If she stopped trying to be friendly she wouldn't have to deal with the insane pounding in her head she's been experiencing as of late. She'd just stop annoying him and wait for her parents to come back. In two years.

What a load of crap.

Kapera leaned back, her fluffy hair cushioning her head against the hard brick wall. She dug her heel into the ground and closed her eyes. I don't understand this. Or anything, for that matter.

… Beaver home.

How did she feel about Yuugi?

He was adorable, for sure, to a point where it was painful. She didn't want to admit she nearly mistook him for a middle-schooler on her first day. Most of the time she wanted to wrap her arms around him and tell him how cute he was.

He would hate that. She snickered. Kapera figured she was coming down with some rare sort of mental illness. Maybe they would name it after her.

Now would probably be the perfect time for 'love' to pop into her head. But, this was Kapera. It was probably a good thing, at this point. She didn't believe in love at first sight. Love after staring at his back for two weeks, maybe, and that was certainly the case, outlandish as it was. Had she realized it sooner, she probably could have avoided a hell of a lot of awkward situations.

Although, looking back on the situation later, Kapera would likely just say that, if someone were to write a story about her time in Domino City, it wouldn't make for a very satisfying tale.

Kapera mused on whatever the feeling was, until, almost rudely, she was snapped out of her reverie.

"Hey, Kapera. You okay?" Morrgan brought herself to a stop in front of Kapera. "You looked kind of… Possessed."

"I'm fine." Kapera blushed as she realized her mouth was hanging open and she had been drooling.

"You sure?"

"Yes. I was thinking."

"Really."

"Yes!" Kapera didn't seem to realize her 'thinking' was more like 'becoming a zombie'.

"Sure, sure." Morrgan laughed and sat down. "What happened with the game?"

"The girls were losing until Jonouchi and Honda got in trouble for the stink bombs."

"I knew it was them!" Those little…" Morrgan's face resembled that of someone contemplating murder. "You know, they were all in my classes, too. Ugh, morons, they probably planned that, I hope they got the hell chewed out of them…" Morrgan fumed silently while Kapera considered Jonouchi's actions over the past few days.

Ever since Morrgan had punched him a week ago he seemed to be going out of his way to get on her nerves. Kapera knew 12-year-old boys did that when they liked a girl; but a highschooler? And Morrgan, of all people? She chuckled at the though of them as a couple.

"What's so funny?" Morrgan gave her a questioning look.

"Nothing! I need to get home, good-bye!" Kapera flounced off, all thoughts of Yuugi (and considerable seriousness) vanished from her mind.
