Domino High presents: Romeo & Juliet

Chapter 2

Every lunch time, the gang would always sit at the same table at the very back of the lunch hall. At the moment, most of them were standing in the queue getting their lunch, pushing any smaller students out of the way. Yami just sat and stared at them all shoving each other to get to the till first. He laughed,

"Idiots! They should take advantage of their senior privileges…" Ryou emerged from the crowd of people with his tray.

"Fuck sake! What a hassle!!" he huffed, appearing exhausted as he sat down across from Yami in his usual seat. Yami shook his head and took a bite out of his apple.

"God do you not come here during bag change?" he asked, taking a drink of Pepsi. Ryou frowned,

"No… I go to bag change like everyone else!"

"Well that explains it then… seniors can come and get their lunch during bag change before juniors. Best way to avoid all the bloody crowd of idiots like yourself…" he smiled slyly. Ryou's mouth dropped,

"So you're telling me that I've spent the past month of my senior year… waiting in bloody lines??!!!" Yami nodded, taking another bite of his apple,

"Well if you really wanted you could all stand in a circle. It wouldn't bother me…" he shrugged. While Ryou sat there fuming, the others walked over to the table carrying their trays. They all sat in their normal seats and immediately started eating.

"All those fucking wee juniors! I can't even get my lunch quick enough!" grumbled Joey, as he began eating his soup. Hearing this Yami chuckled.

"What's so funny… Romeo?..." sniggered Tristan. Yami glanced at Yugi who blushed before having his apple grabbed off of him.

"Hey!! I was eating that! I heard that an apple a day kept Joey away!" he said sarcastically. Joey flung the apple at him which hit Yami in the chest. Yugi laughed and spluttered pieces of his sandwiches across the table.

"Fuckin hell Yug!" cried Joey, brushing himself down, "you could…"

"Give us all a disease? I wouldn't be surprised!" came the irritating voice of Tea. Everyone sighed as she pulled over a chair and sat next to Yami.

"Hey! No girls allowed!!" said Ryou.

"Well then you must be in the wrong place," she hissed, causing Ryou to sink slightly into his seat. She turned lovingly back to Yami and smiled.

"What you want?" mumbled Yami, as he flicked pieces of apple across the table.

"Well… I was just- why on earth are you reading this!?" she giggled, noticing a copy of 'Romeo & Juliet' under his tray.

"Nooooooo! He's reading that outside English! Traitor!" mocked Joey, making Yami grin before taking another drink of his Pepsi.

"Ooooo… I bet you're practising for our love scene, aren't you Yami-kins…" Yami chocked on his drink as he grabbed the play out of her hands.

"What!!??? The last thing I want on my mind is you! Fuckin' hell Tea! Take a clue!!!" he yelled. He looked around and noticed several people looking towards their table.

"Well… I'll be off… you're just nervous my ickle Yami boo…" she blew him a kiss before getting up to leave. Yami took an exasperated sigh, clenching his fists before huffing and slumping down in his chair. Everyone else carried on eating and made occasional glances at him and each other.

'Why doesn't she just bugger off and leave me alone! I don't like her or anyone. But…" his eyes wandered and rested their gaze on Yugi. He smiled dreamily but then quickly stared back down at the table when Yugi looked in his direction. He opened the copy of the play at the scene where he and Yugi had read together. The most magical moment ever… He gave a happy sigh…

"Um… you OK Yami?" asked Yugi.

"Huh… um yeah… fine Yugi… why'd you ask?" Yugi wrinkled his nose which made Yami smile.

"I dunno… you seem really spaced out this week…"

"Nah he's fine Yug… he's just sad we threw his apple in the trash!" laughed Ryou. Yami raised an eye brow to the others and turned back to Yugi,

"I'm alright Yugi don't worry. But thanks for your concern," he winked, making Yugi blush slightly. The bell rang.

"Jeez! English! All we're doing is that play!" groaned Joey, as they all made their way out of the lunch hall.

"Wait, aren't we finding out the cast today?" asked Tristan, as they walked along the busy corridor towards the auditorium.

"Well… you all have to agree its better than maths!" laughed Ryou, as they reached the auditorium. He pushed open the door,

"Definitely!" they all agreed in unison.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

'Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona,'

"This is the official opening lines of our play! Ooooooo how exciting!" chirped Ms Williams, handing out newly printed scripts to everyone. "But don't open them yet…" she continued.

"Whey the hell would we want to do that!?" whispered Joey, making the gang snigger. Ms Williams shot them all a look which made them go silent.

"Right… what I've done is that I've highlighted your roles inside your scripts…" she began excitedly, "Please don't be offended with the role you receive, but it was the one that was best suited for you in this production. Now everyone open them!" she almost squealed as she clapped her hands. There was a murmur of voices. "But keep your part to yourself so we can introduce everyone…" Yugi pulled back the top corner of his script and found his part. He looked over to where Yami was and watched him look at his script, fold the cover back over and smile.

'Oh god! Please let him be smiling about his part… please…please…please…' he hoped. Yami looked over at him and notice he was watching him so he gave a wink. Yugi smiled back sheepishly.

"Right now that we all know who we are… its time to introduce our principal cast. Could those who are marked in blue please make your way to the stage." The gang, Tea and a few others walked down towards the stage. They all stood in a row and looked at each other quizzically. "First on my list here I have Juliet…" Yugi gulped and gingerly stepped forward. He was surprised yet relieved that no-one laughed, they all just nodded and clapped in agreement. He gave a small blush and waved. "And our Romeo…" Yami smiled handsomely as several girls wolf whistled. He gave a small wave before standing next to Yugi. He gave him a small nudge and a wink.

"And these are our stars of the show! Both of you stand at the side and everyone give them another round of applause!" she beamed. People clapped and whistled as the two made their way to the side of the stage.

"Well done Yugi…" whispered Yami into his ear. Yugi looked at him,

"Um…seriously? Don't you think it's weird?" Yami raised an eye brow.

"Please Yugi. Just for once take a compliment from me! I'm beginning to think…" he paused.

"Think what?" asked Yugi wrinkling his nose. Yami's cheeks flushed pink.

'God I can't believe I almost came out with it!' Yami cringed to himself.

'Why the hell did Yami blush? He's never acted this way before. But he is so hot!' Yugi smiled.

"Er… nothing aibou… I mean Yugi…" 'SHIT!' Yugi just blushed. "Well… um this means I've got another excuse to annoy you then huh?" he carried on quickly, ruffling Yugi's hair. Yugi laughed quietly.

"Hey! Is that a good or a bad thing?"

"Oh well it's terrible for you!" he chuckled with a wink. Yugi beamed at him.

'This is the best day of my life…' sighed Yugi happily.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Right everyone class dismissed… and Tea just smile for heaven's sake!" Tea gave a fake smile until Ms Williams wandered off. She then scowled.

"I bloody can't believe it! I should be Juliet! Not a podgy old nurse!" she hissed, putting her script in her bag.

"I can't believe we all got main parts! Well… Yami and Yugi have but we've all got the main-ish parts…" laughed Ryou.

"Well just remember that on stage you have to hate me!" chuckled Yami. Joey looked puzzled,

"Uh… why?" Yami sighed.

"You are Tybalt right?" Joey nodded, "so basically you are my enemy since you're Juliet's cousin. Her family hates me since I'm a Montague…"

"Wait a minute, then we all practically hate you! Apart from me, Ryou and Yugi!" said Tristan, looking at his character list.

"Well more haters the better!" he laughed, "You know, I'm looking forward to this now…" smiled Yami, putting away his script.

"Anno! It's going to be fun since we all have extra rehearsals together too!" suddenly came Yugi's voice from behind Yami. Yami lost his balance and toppled down the three remaining stairs. Yugi gasped,

"Yami! Oh god I'm sorry!" he panicked, as he and the others walked quickly to his aid. Yami sat up,

"Nah… don't worry Yugi, my ass cushioned the fall…" he laughed.

"Oh my! Yami-kins! Are you alright!!??" came the irritating voice of…

"Tea… where the hell did she come from!?" groaned Yami as she began pushing her way towards him. The others shrugged.

"Don't worry, I'll help you up!" she said, holding her hand out to him. Yami shook his head.

"No… go tend someone else!" he replied through gritted teeth. Yugi then held out his hand and helped him up. Tea scowled at Yugi,

"You should be the fuckin' nurse! You should be tending for me, the fair Juliet not the other way around. I'm the right person who should be standing next to Yami…" Yugi sadly lowered his head and looked at the floor. Yami watched him and frowned. "And look at you! God sake you're not deserving of a main role!"

"Tea… just…"

"Shut it Ryou!" He fell silent. She turned back to Yugi, "You are pathetic! You can't do anything!" Tears began rolling silently down Yugi's cheeks which made Yami angry. Yami clenched his fists and growled. "…you're worthless and ugly…"

"HOW DARE YOU! JUST FUCK OFF!!!" screamed Yami, "…Just cos' he's better then you at everything you worthless bitch!! I bet you only got as part because Ms Williams felt sorry for you!" Everyone stared at him, "Yugi is the right person for the part, you don't deserve a main role, you're pathetic, you're worthless and UGLY!" he continued screaming. The gang looked nervously at each other. Yugi tugged at Yami's arm,

"Yami just stop! It doesn't matter…" Yami looked at him.

"It does Yugi!" he shot a glare at Tea, "she has no right to treat you like dirt!"

"Just leave it Yami! You're causing a scene!" whispered Ryou.

"NO! She has no right to…"

"Please Yami! Stop!" cried Yugi. Tea watched on in bewilderment.

"I said NO Yugi! You don't deserve to be treated like this!"

"Just cool it man!" shouted Joey and Tristan.

"So you're all just going to sit back and watch one of our best friends being bullied?" he turned to Yugi and sighed, "No-one deserves this sort of treatment. You have the right to be treated with respect… not a bloody door mat…" he finished, almost in a whisper. He pushed past them all and the gathered crowd as he grabbed his bag and walked up the stairs.

"Yami- where you going?" asked Yugi. Yami slung his bag over his shoulder and walked to the doors before turning round to face his friends.

"Away from here… away from her… and away from you lot." He looked into Yugi's eyes, "Just think Yugi… think about what I said OK? If you need anyone to stand up to bullies and freaks like her, you come and find me… or look inside yourself. But I'm away for some space." He opened the door and stormed out. Everything went silent.

"Yami…" breathed Yugi. He felt a hand on his shoulder,

"Don't worry pal… one-two days tops and he'll be back to his usual self…" beamed Joey.

"I hope you're right…"frowned Yugi sadly.
