Bad Boy

Chapter 2: Girls' Night Out

Téa had just received a call from Mai that she would be picking her up at around seven, for their G.N.O. It was a good thing that Téa had already picked out her outfit. She decided to wear her sleeveless black turtle neck, with her red shorts and black socks that went up to her mid-thigh. She finished it off with her red platform sandals. Téa applied some mascara and eyeliner. After getting dressed she brushed her hair thoroughly, and put her wallet and phone in her purse. Téa headed downstairs to wait when she finished.

The clock read six fifty-two. Téa thought, I wonder if Mai will be late, as usual. As soon as she thought it she heard the doorbell ring. When she answered it Mai was there as perky as ever.

Mai greeted her with, "Hello! Nice outfit, ready to go?"

Téa nodded in response.

"Good lets go I already picked up Serenity."

When they got in the car, the quiet Wheeler greeted Téa with enthusiasm, "Hey Téa, I'm so excited to hang out with you guys tonight!"

"That's good, so Mai where were you planning on taking us?"

Mai thought about it, and they all said simultaneously, "SHOPPING!".

The whole car ride to the mall, the girls were squealing about latest fashions, Mai and Joey's relationship as well as Serenity and Tristan. This made Téa feel a little left out since she wasn't in a relationship. Mai noticed Téa uncomfortable expression, and tried to change the subject.

"So Serenity, what happened today?"

Serenity perked up with a sly smile, "Well, Joey told me Téa was checking Kaiba out today." Téa started to blush, she knew Joey would tell his sister the events of lunch.

Mai raised an eyebrow and responded coolly, "Really now? I knew she liked him." They both glanced at Téa to see her reaction, she was flushed pink.

"Come on guys! I don't like him! Why does everyone think that? Gosh. In case nobody noticed he drives me crazy and I can't help getting into arguments with the guy."

Mai and Serenity exchanged looks, and dropped the subject because it was only playful teasing but Téa thought was serious.

When they go to the mall, they agreed on shopping for some clothes, then get something to eat, and lastly stop by the arcade to play some games, not to mention watch the dancers at the DDR machine.

After about two hours of shopping Serenity, Mai, and Téa all collapsed on a nearby bench.

"Ughh!", Téa moaned, "We are not doing that again!"

Mai and Serenity nodded in agreement.

Quietly Serenity asked, "Can we get something to eat now? I am really hungry."

Mai chuckled, "Do you have your brother's appetite too?"

They girls started to giggle, they walked into a nearby restaurant and got some food. They walked out and sat at a table, and began to eat.

After watching people for a bit Téa spotted a cute guy, he was more on the tall side, was wearing a white jacket with a black t-shirt, some blue skater jeans, and he wore black Chuck Taylor's. He was wearing some shutter shades, and had his brown hair combed over his eyes. He had some earphones in his ears, he seemed to be listening to music as far as she could tell. Mai noticed Téa having a dreamy look in her eyes and turned to see what she was drooling about. It turned out to be a really good-looking guy about Téa's age. Mai raised her eyebrow at the seventeen year old clearly amused at her expression.

"So Téa that guy over there is pretty cute huh?"

Téa shocked that she was caught drooling over a guy answered, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mai took this as an opportunity to encourage Téa, while Serenity seemed oblivious to what they were talking about.

"Don't play dumb, I know you were just looking at that guy with the shades over there. You should go and talk to him." She finished with an encouraging nod.

"Mai, its nothing. Its just a guy, I don't even know him and I doubt he goes to Domino High."

Mai shook her head in disapproval, "Téa you'll never know if you don't ask."

"Mai! He has a parade of girls following him, just see for yourself!"

When Téa raised her voice Serenity finally tuned in, "What are you two talking about?"

Mai answered her before Téa could deny anything, "Téa was just drooling over that guy with the shades over there."

Serenity looked over in the direction of the guy, and a slow smile crept onto her face. "Téa go talk to him! Go! Come on!"

Téa feeling exasperated and slightly defeated, "Guys, he is being followed by at least ten other girls I really don't want to be mauled. Besides what would I say?"

Mai and Serenity shrugged their shoulders.

Serenity watched as the guy moved into the arcade with the "parade of girls" following behind. "Well lets go to the arcade because that's where he just disappeared to."

The girls threw away their trash and entered the arcade, only to hear Johnny Steps boasting.

"Looks like yet another has been defeated by Johnny Steps! Hah! Who else would like to try and challenge my superior skills?"

The guy that Téa was watching stepped onto the stage, and took off his jacket, with a sly remark, "I don't know about superior skills but I do accept you challenge."

When Téa heard his voice it sounded so familiar yet so different she couldn't quite tell who it was. His voice sounded strong and deep, but light and almost carefree. The way he stood on the stage showed that he was a very opinionated person. Johnny looked at his challenger, and almost faltered at his confidence instead he shrugged it off and chose a song.

Téa almost melted when he started to dance. His moves were indescribable! He was swift and agile, and moved in a cunning way around the stage, he hit all the arrows when he was supposed to but added his own special move with it, causing the audience to hold their breath. Johnny looked at his opponent and felt a surge of ambition, he had to win! If this guy won he would be ashamed like when that girl made a fool out of him a little while back.

The arrows on the screen showed up in a continuous line, meaning they had to stay on the same arrows.

Everyone gasped when they saw Johnny's opponent do a hand stand at this part. It was amazing and he jumped into the air and landed in time with the rhythm of the song. This continued for a bit but the guy clearly was more skilled than Johnny, to prove it when the song was over he finished with a signature move. He slammed his fist into the front arrow and he used his right knee to press the back arrow, so he was in a crouching position.

At the end the clear victor was none other than the opponent with the crazy dance moves.

Johnny who couldn't stand defeat roared with anger and challenged, "I want a rematch! Meet here next week at the same time! I'll be ready so you better get some cooler moves!"

His opponent just threw his head back and laughed a dark laugh, that Téa found sexy. He responded with a cocky smile, "Sure, I accept your challenge not that it matters, I never really danced before and this was a first and I happened to kick you butt. What do you think will happen if I actually prepare myself next time?"

Johnny thought and faltered but still held his ground with the offer. "It doesn't matter, I shall win anyway!", was Johnny final response.

His opponent didn't seem to care, he picked up his jacket and walked off the stage laughing his dark sexy laugh.

Téa the girls and a crowd of people all rushed out of the arcade chattering about what had happened and planned on coming to see the rematch. Téa spotted the mysterious opponent and decided to congratulate him, since she was the only other person she knew of that had defeated Johnny Steps. When she caught up to him she almost felt a slight chill.

"Excuse me?"

He turned to her, in his head he thought, What? Gardner? The Cheerleader? What is she doing? Why does she look so embarrassed?

"Yes? Can I help you?"

He spoke with authority and a business like tone, it attracted her a bit.

"I just wanted to congratulate you." she went on, "I happen to be the only other person who has beaten that guy before."

He raised an eyebrow, and made her blush.

"That's cool, I guess that means we both have a unique skill? I'd like to verse you sometime, say are you going to the rematch next week?"

Téa thought about it, "Actually yes, only if you kick his butt again."

He chuckled, she liked the sound of his voice it was deep and every word flowed out smoothly.

"Deal, as long as I get to verse you afterwards."

Téa blushed at how flirtatious his voice sounded.

"Alright…"

"I can't wait to see your skills -."

"Téa, Téa Gardner."

"I can't wait to see your skills Téa." he said her name softly.

"I hope you can go easy on me, I'm afraid I'm not as great as you -."

He laughed, his sexy laugh, but not darkly

"I'm sorry but what is your name?"

He looked her in the eye, with his shades slid down a bit so she could see his eyes. They were a nice shade of blue. Blue? she thought, His eyes are blue? He seemed like someone with dark brown eyes…

She gasped, he spoke in a hushed tone very close to her face," I believe you already know me…or maybe you don't if you think you know my name by next week, whisper it in my ear after we verse."

With that he walked away, leaving Téa mesmerized. A few moments later Mai and Serenity caught up,

"Hey we finally found you!" Serenity said.

Mai quickly interpreted Téa state and spoke with a cocky attitude, "I guess you finally talked to 'Prince Charming' right?"

The seventeen year old nodded.

"So? What did you two talk about?" Mai inquired, trying to find all the "juicy" parts.

Téa smiled and told them she would explain it in the car, she was tired but her heart couldn't stop pounding, she kept thinking about him and his words, but she told her friends everything as distracted as she was. They listened to her intently, and smiled. Mai dropped her off at her house and they all exchanged goodbyes.

When she was in her house she plopped in on her bed and instantly dosed off, dreaming about the mysterious boy she met earlier.

More better wasn't it? ok...please review!
