Warning: This chapter will have some curse words.
Yami arrived to his PE class, pretty much to his dismay because he to undress and everybody will see his nasty bruises and get many unwanted stares and glares. He quickly went to an empty bathroom stall that were at the end of the boys' locker room and changed. He was thankful that he gets to wear navy sweatpants alongside his sweater since it was chilly outside.
'I really hate coming to school, just to get tortured'.
The coach was waiting for his students to get in line so their daily routine could begin as soon as possible. His glare was becoming more angry and angrier by the minute because his students are really slow in getting in line.
As soon as the last student arrived, which was Yami, the coach started his usual speech about 'tardiness'. "Students, as you already know about my policy of tardiness to my CLASS. And already of you are thinking about excuses, there is no excuse in the world about getting healthy. Being active is really important to everybody. Arriving minutes late to begin class indicates to me that you're all not that in physical activity. And also, today we will be starting on running laps. 4 laps total, that is. I want those laps done in 45 minutes, understood?"
"Yes Mr. Lowell" the students said in unison.
"Good. The laps start now".
The students quickly ran off to the field and the teacher sat down on one of the nearby benches to track the students' progress and to mark off their laps as they pass him.
As for Yami, the idea of running made him want to faint. The pain he was currently having was unbearable. He exchanged running to walking from time to time to ease his pain.
45 minutes later, the students were all done with their physical exercise and Mr. Lowell was okay with it. He then let the students proceed to go change back to their school uniform and continue about the day.
Again, Yami had to go change in the restroom to avoid comments about his appearance. 15 minutes later, the bell rang, indicating it was 4th period.
'4th period? Oh my god, it's going to be hell when I go in to 4th period. They are going to make fun of me again. Oh the bullies and me, the nerd'.
Arriving at the front of his biology class, Yami sighed for the worst and proceeded to his classroom.
'They haven't arrived yet. Hopefully they forget about me for an hour to save major humiliation from them and getting laughed at'.
As soon as his thought went away, his tormentors arrived the homeroom and were laughing at something Yugi commented. Joey's laughter, however, was the loudest from the group.
'Oh shit, they're here already. Great, just goddamn great'.
"Hey Yugi, look who's here?" Joey notices , just goddamn great'.
"Hey Yugi, look who's here?" Joey notices Yami's presence.
"Let's save it till lunch Joey" Tea tells the 'leader'.
"Okay Tea, whatever you say".
The group sent the poor guy glares his way before sitting down on their 'corner'.
The teacher, Mrs. Akiu, arrived soon after the tardy bell rang throughout the school.
"Well today class, we will be reviewing material for Friday's midterm. It's going to be worth 50% of your semester grade. A whole half of your entire grade of this class. A passing grade of this midterm is 75%, no less. It's going to have 150 questions and it's going to cover chapters 1 to 10. Hopefully you all were expecting a major test from the beginning, and this is the moment of truth. You got to get around 113 of the 150 questions right. If you fail the midterm, your grades will be affected by an entire grade, for example if you have an A, you'll receive a B. So, class, since I bet all of you are keeping up with the course material by reviewing, you're all going to ace this test. So, class, take out your textbooks, turn to page 433 and I'll be reading out loud and discuss the important points of this chapter. And you will be writing down the key points on paper, and you will be doing the same for chapters 1 to 9".
"Ugh, I am so going to ace this test Tristan" Joey declared to his friend behind him.
"What makes you say that Joey?"
"Because after class, I'll force the nerd into giving me his notes. You know how he always gets straight A's. I can't afford to get an F. My father will kill me".
"What about your other classes that you don't have Yami with? What are you going to do then Joey?" Yugi asks him.
"I don't know Yugi. For those, I have to figure something out as soon as possible. But for this class, it's a piece of cake. Yami is going to "help" me with that midterm".
"Make me some copies of those notes Joey" Tristan commands him.
"Us too" both Yugi and Tea said together.
The class hour passed rather quickly, much to Yami's dismay.
'I wonder what those fools are planning to do to Yami' Kaiba though.
Even though Kaiba didn't care about any of his class mates, somehow, he's got a soft spot for Yami. He quickly spotted the poor guy's bruises around his neck. And they weren't pretty to look at.
'Hmph, I wonder if those geeks did those to Yami. I'm going to find out in lunch time'.
The bell rang rather loudly. The students gave their assignments to the teacher for credit.
Just after the majority of the class left for lunch, the bullies, Yami and Kaiba stayed getting their stuff ready.
Kaiba soon left the room and went somewhere, leaving Yami to fend for himself to his bullies who were a couple feet away from him.
"Well, Yami give me your notes you fucking piece of shit" Joey suddenly says, scaring the living daylights out of Yami.
"No".
"What did you fucking say to me, you son of a bitch?"
"I told you no".
"Very well then, you will learn your lesson you shit ass fuck asshole".
His fist was going to meet Yami's jaw when suddenly it was stopped by hand, preventing from hitting Yami. Joey saw that the hand belonged to no other than Kaiba, the cold-hearted brainiac and CEO.
"What do you think you're doing you son of a whore?"
"Did you just called me a son of a whore Kaiba?"
"Yes Wheeler, so what? What are you going to do then? Hit me?"
"You're going to get it moneybags".
He then proceeded his fist directly to Kaiba and again, he blocked it with his hand.
"You asshole, you think you can hit me? Think again Wheeler".
Kaiba quickly hit Joey straight to his stomach and jaw, not something Joey was expecting from Kaiba to do.
"You're defending this whore?" Joey says pointing to Yami, who was behind Kaiba all this time.
"Yes you damn mutt".
"You're going to pay for this moneybags. You too you freak" he points first to Kaiba, then to Yami, who was on the verge to crying his eyes out.
Both males watch the gang leave the classroom (who the teacher was absent from this whole ordeal).
"You okay Yami?"
"Y-yeah Kaiba, I'm fine right now. But I won't be when those people see me without you around me".
"I won't leave you by yourself Yami".
"Thanks Kaiba".
"Call me Seto".
"Okay Seto".
Both males went to go get their lunch as Yami's stomach growled.
'At least I got protected by Kaiba. But for how long will his generosity last?'
