Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi. If it did, I'd be stinkin' rich right now.
Mana leans her arms on the rail at the roof of the school, her hair blowing in the wind. There would usually be other students that would hang up there but not today. But she didn't complain.
It was nice and quiet and she could have some time to herself. She began thinking that's what she ought to be; by herself where she could cause no trouble. But there was one person that didn't think that and she sighs when he wraps his arms around her waist and rests his chin on her shoulder.
Sure they weren't a boyfriend girlfriend couple but they were very close. They were so close that they even gave kisses on the cheek or forehead. But never on the lips though. The way they acted around each other made others feel that they were a couple but they always denied that.
"I bet you're mad that I ruined the game," Mana predicts, continuing to look out into the blue sky. "I'm sorry."
"Mana it was only a game. It's no big deal."
She turns around to face him, giving a serious look; a look that Atem has never seen before. Whenever she gave serious looks like that, a cat got stuck in a tree.
"Tell me the truth," she starts off. "Do you think I'm dumb?"
"You're not dumb Mana. Why would you think that?"
"I don't know. Sometimes it takes me a little while to catch on you know?"
"That's normal."
"It is?" Mana asks.
"Yes. Now please Mana, stop acting like this," he begs, embracing her and she hugs back. "I want my old cheerful, carefree, loving girl back alright?"
Mana chuckles. "Alright." As she said that, the warning bell rings, signaling for them to come back inside. Tea and Yugi come up on the roof and stop in their tracks, looking on at the site.
Atem and Mana pull back when they start to hear giggling and they turn their heads to see Tea and Yugi, now beginning to laugh their heads off.
"Cut it out you two! It's not what you think!" Mana yells, starting to turn red as Tea and Yugi start to make kissing noises. Atem groans and walks past them both, but not before punching Yugi hard in the arm.
"Hey! What was that for!" Yugi pouts, rubbing his arm.
"STOP BEING SO IMMATURE!" Atem shouts at his brother before storming off. Even when in pain, Yugi chuckles lightly. His brother is so hilarious when he get mad. And his face expression was so priceless.
"Hey you guys, we need to be getting to class or we'll be late," Tea suggests, looking at her watch and Mana and Yugi nod in agreement.
Mana's POV
After that little talk with Atem, I thought I was fully cured of my low self esteem problem. I was good for about two days until that one day in the hallway. I was just putting up my books, ready to go home when one of the bullies of our school approaches me. Her name was Tiffany. She was tall with black hair, slightly muscular and lastly…mean.
"I heard you almost blew up the science lab," she says with her hands on her hips. I shut my locker and I put my book bag on my back trying to ignore her by turning away. But she wasn't going to allow that for she grabs my shoulder and forces me back around. Her green eyes were glaring into my aquamarine ones.
"That was the easiest experiment ever. How could you mess that up?" Tiffany asks.
"I-It t-takes me a l-little while t-to-"
"Oh don't give me that," she interrupts. "Just say that you're dumb!"
"I'm not dumb!" No matter how much I tried to defend myself, Tiffany always came back. She was known for having great comebacks. The comments were starting to hurt me.
"You can't ever do anything right! You're dumb and a coward! " she yells and then it hit me. Maybe what she was saying is right. I mean look at me right now. I can't even defend myself.
"Just leave me alone," I say, trying not to cry. I mentally slap myself for that. Was that the best I could do?
"Is that the best you can do?" I manage to get away, quickly running in the opposite direction, past other students, including Atem, Yugi and Tea who were just on their way out. But I didn't bother to stop. I hadn't even realized that it was raining outside and I rush out into the cold pouring rain despite Atem trying to call me back.
Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I run blindly. With each step my feet makes splashing sounds from the puddles on the ground. My mind kept telling me to stop. That I shouldn't be doing this. That I shouldn't be running away. But I didn't listen and for that, I paid the consequence.
My foot slips on a puddle and because I was running so fast, I fly a couple of inches up. Only a gasp escapes my lips before my head comes crashing down on the hard pavement, taking me out instantly.
Normal POV
"Atem! Slow down!" Tea yells as she and Yugi try to see through the rain and catch up with Atem who was running quickly. The rain was coming down hard, making it hard for them to see.
"Big bro! What's wrong!?" Yugi asks. He still didn't answer.
Before, he was walking with them calmly inside the school building when Mana rushes past him. And shortly after she did that, he felt a strange feeling in his chest; like she was hurt or something.
And so now, that was why they were running. Atem keeps running in hopes of finding Mana. The feeling that he had felt earlier was getting stronger and stronger until…
"MANA!" Atem cries out in horror, seeing her lie on the ground unconscious. He goes to his knees, picking her up in his arms. Tea and Yugi join him later, only to find Mana out and not breathing at all. Tea gasps with her hands clasped over her mouth as tears form in her eyes.
"She must've fell!" Yugi comes to a conclusion.
"Mana! Mana! Open your eyes please!" Atem shouts but it was no use.
Yugi turns to Tea who was still shocked by it all. "Tea go get help now!" Yugi orders and she nods, running off.
"Mana, wake up!" Atem yells.
Pretty dramatic eh? Yeah, I write like that sometimes. Review please.
