Shea timidly entered the lunchroom and looked about. Nearly every table was full and she had nowhere to sit. She sighed quietly "great I'm gonna have to eat alone…" Shea continued to look for a table, when she heard someone call her name.

"Shea! Over here!" She turned around to see Yugi waving at her from a nearby table. She saw a couple other people sitting at the table as well. Shea smiled and walked over to the table.

"Hi Yugi" She smiled warmly

"You can sit here Shea" He said as he moved his books from the seat next to him.

"Oh, are you sure?" she asked. He nodded happily and she smiled. Shea sat down and put her lunch tray in front of her. She smiled at the other four people at the table.

"Hi, my name is Shea" She rubbed the back of her neck nervously.

"I'm Joey!" Joey smiled and gulped down his lunch.

"My name is Tristan!" He smiled

"I'm Tea, It's nice to meet you" Shea could tell that Tea was forcing a smile, but she ignored it.

"And I'm Bakura, It is very nice to meet you" He smiled and brushed his bangs from his face.

Shea smiled sweetly "Thank you so much for letting me sit here with you guys, it's nice to meet all of you"

"It's no problem! We wouldn't want you sitting all alone now would we huh Yugi?" Joey smiled mischievously across the table at Yugi. Tea quickly slapped the back of Joey's head.

"Stop it would yah!" She yelled at him.

"I didn't do nothin!" Joey yelled back. Tristan and Bakura sighed as Joey and Tea bickered back and forth.

Shea laughed a bit and her duel monsters deck slipped out of her pocket and spilled onto the floor. "Oh shoot…" She bent over to pick them up

Yugi quickly went to help her and picked up on of the cards, he examined it and smiled. "You play duel monsters Shea?" He asked, continuing to help.

She smiled "Yah, and I'm pretty dang good at it to" She laughed and stacked the cards in a neat pile.

"We should duel sometime" Yugi smiled and reached to pick up one of the cards. Shea went to grab the same card and their hands overlapped for a split second. Her face turned beat red and she quickly pulled the card away. Yugi blushed as well and pulled his hand back.

"S-sorry about that" He stammered out.

"Oh please, she did that on purpose…" Tea muttered.

"Don't be so jealous Tea" Tristan laughed

"Am not!" Tea yelled.

Shea smiled, still blushing "It's fine…" She sat back down in her chair and straightened out her deck.

"So Shea what's your favorite card?" Joey asked happily

She smiled and pulled a card out of her deck "The Dark Magician Girl" She held it up so they could see.

"That's one of my favorites to" Yugi said with a smile.

"Of course she would pick that slutty card…" Tea mumbled.

Joey jabbed her with his elbow "What's your problem?"

Tea folded her arms and looked downward.

Shea noticed Tea's upset expression and tilted her head "Did I say something?" She asked timidly.

Joey but in "No not at all! She's just isn't feelin to well today" He lied

"Oh, alright" Shea smiled a bit.

"So Yugi, are you going to the party at Mai's house tonight?" Bakura asked from across the table.

He nodded "Sure I am" Yugi looked over at Shea, who was smiling to herself. "Hey Shea, you wanna come to the party with us tonight?"

Joey smiled "Hey! That would be awesome!"

Tea bit her lip "Great…"

Shea was surprised "Are you sure that will be alright?" She asked

Yugi nodded happily "Mai always enjoys new guests."
She smiled "Thanks for inviting me" She blushed a bit.

"Well your our friend now after all" Joey said with a smile.

"Friend? Really?" Shea asked with a smile.

Yugi smiled back "Of course…"

After School

Joey and Yugi walked together on their way home from school. Joey nudged his friend lightly and chuckled "So Yug what do yah think of the new girl huh?" He asked with a smirk.

Yugi twitched and turned bright red "Uh I don't know… she seems really nice…"

"Ah don't play dumb Yugi! I can tell you like her!"

"I-I do not!" Yugi yelled

"Come on I see the way you look at her… and how come you invited her to Mai's party tonight huh? You know the kinda games Mai likes to play at her parties. Maybe this time you'll finally join in!"

"Joey shut up!" Yugi yelled, his face turning even redder.

"Maybe we'll play 7 minutes in heaven again and you wont just sit there and eat chips all night" Joey said with a smirk.

"Ugh stop Joey!" Yugi walked faster to try and get away from him.

Joey picked up the pace to match his friend's. "Come on just admit it, she's super nice, pretty, she plays duel monsters and not to mention she's your height! Admit it Yug, she's the perfect girl for yah!"

Yugi stopped and clenched his tiny fists "Alright I like her! Geez!" He picked up his pace again so maybe Joey wouldn't see how red his cheeks were.

Joey laughed a bit "See I knew it! Now all yah have to do is wait for the party tonight!"
