After third hour Tristan caught up with Fiona and the pair were walking the the cafeteria and comparing class schedules.
"Wow, you have a lot of classes with Tea. And gym with the whole group, that's great!"
Fiona laughed and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You think they'll like me?"
"Oh, yeah. Hey, speak of the devils! Hi, guys!"
Tristan ran over and Fiona followed, smiling shyly.
"Guys, this is Fiona. Fi, these are my friends, Tea, Joey, and Yugi."
"Hi, I'm not intruding am I?"
Tea chuckled, "Never! We could use another girl in the gang. At least, I know I could."
"Gang?!" Fi asked
"Oh, that's just what we call our group. Obviously we aren't a real gang or anything." YUgi blushed
"So where are you from?" Joey asked
"I just moved here from Canada, before that was Italy and before that was Antarctica, and a few places before that, but I was born in South Africa."
That's incredible!" Yugi smiled, "Do you move around often?"
"Oh yes, we never sit still for too long."
"We?" Tea prompted
'"Me and my dad, but I'm all alone this time. I wanted to finish High School in one place and I finally got him to cave. So here I am." She let out a small giggle
"So where is he then?" Joey asked
"The United States. Is that where you're from? That's a Brooklyn accent right?"
"Yeah, you have sharp ears."
Joey was last to get his tray of lunch.
"Come on," Yugi urged, "Let's sit before all the tables are full."
"That's a very interesting necklace." Fiona commented, "I mean that in a good way, I like interesting."
"Thanks, my grandfather brought it back for me from a dig in Egypt."
"How cool! Is he an archaeologist?"
"Yes. And he's always going to all of these amazing places!"
"Do you ever go with him?"
"During the Summer I used to go all the time. But now most we're too busy with tournaments."
"That's where I know you two from!" Fi giggled, "Couldn't figure it out for the life of me."
"Yeah, these two are quite the dueling pair. The king and the underdog." Tristan teased
Joey made a face at him.
"So you two are, like, famous right?"
"Nah, we're not famous," Joey blushed, "Not outside of Japan anyways."
Tea laughed, "Don't be so modest, Joey. Credit where credit is due."
"Joey! Modest?" Tristan looked appalled, "Hades must have frozen over."
Fiona couldn't stop laughing between bits of food while Tristan and Joey continued their back and forth banter.
"Oh look, the freak club has a new member." Said a deadpan voice
They all turned and saw Seto Kaiba standing directly behind Joey.
"Um, what?" Fiona said
"Too bad the losers got to you first, you could have been something here. A well traveled girl like you. Now you're just a pretty little waste."
Fiona nearly jumped to her feet. She wasn't even close to being as tall as him, but her glare was intimidating.
"Listen here, you phenomenal douche bag. I made the right choice by the looks of it." She smirked, "Where might your friends be?"
Fiona made a point of looking dramatically around the room.
"You wanna call them losers? Pretty ironic considering that Yugi is the goddamn King of Games and all. But you just go on believing what you want. Ignorance is bliss, right?"
She sat back down and crossed her legs for effect. Seto was speechless, for once.
"Oh, damn. Mic drop!" Joey said
Seto just walked away.
"So, where were we?" Tea chuckled
