"Ms. Tumbler please come up and tell us your name where you're from and something interesting about yourself."

I blushed and went to the front. I hated speaking in front of people. Even if it was just an introduction.

"Hello, my name is Scarlett Tumbler and I'm from London, England," This is where I froze. I wasn't sure what I should tell them, "Uh and I like to play ukulele."

"Thank you Scarlett, you can return to your seat now."

I practically ran back.

The teacher started on her lecture and I began to take notes. I was never the best student ever but I at least tried to get C's. My parents were always upset with me over grades. They often compared me to my way too perfect sister. My sister was an A+ student who never put a toe out of line. She never had a single detention and she never stayed out late with boys.

Detention and boys were my life. I was a perfect partier and I relished that fact up until recently. I decided I would try this perfect grade thing when I moved as an apology to my parents. So far it wasn't going very well. I could feel my eyes getting drowsy as the teacher went over the circulatory system and why it was important. It was the first day of class and I was already waiting for lunch. This was bad.


Finally lunch came way too slow. As it turned out none of the friends I had made were in any of my other classes except for math. Joey was in my math class, but from the looks of it I wouldn't be borrowing any of his homework. Joey was about as good at school as I was. He also liked to party and have a good time. I liked talking with Joey it seemed as if we could be really good friends if we gave it a chance.

I looked around the cafeteria and noticed Ryou calling me over.

RYOU'S POV:

I looked around and saw Scarlett a little ways away. I stood up and called her over. She finally saw me calling her and came over.

"Hello Ryou," she greeted me. I loved the fact she used Ryou instead of Bakura. It felt nice to be recognized by something other than the demon living inside of me.

"So how were your classes so far Scarlett?" Yugi asked her.

"Pretty boring for the most part," she replied.

"School's not your thing is it?" said Joey.

"No not really."

"It's okay. It's not really mine neither."

"I could tell."

"Hey!"

Everyone laughed including myself.

While everyone else was chattering away I watched her. She was such a mystery to me. Right when she walked in the room I felt a very strong attraction to her. I didn't even know this girl. The only thing I really knew about her was her name, where she's from, and she was beautiful. Still I couldn't help but wonder if there truly was such a thing as love a first sight.


That night I went to bed thinking about her and how pretty she was. Her pretty blonde hair and her pink soft looking lips. Her gorgeous green eyes and her pale skin. She even had some faint freckles on her nose. I couldn't wait to see her again tomorrow. I needed to get to know her better. She needed to get to know me better, but I wasn't sure how to get there. I had never been too close to anyone. Even Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristin weren't extremely close to me. I wanted her close to me though. I wanted her to know everything about me, and I wanted to know everything about her.

As soon as I thought those thoughts I was sure of it. There really is such thing as love at first sight!
