Me: Hello! I never really thought of anything to say at the beginning of the chapter so I say hello! Hello hello hello hello!

Astral: Why don't you say hi?

Me: Because… because….. I actually don't know. Uh, how about I say hi from now on! Hi! Hi hi hi!

Astral: That is still unrelated to the chapter. We do not own Yugioh Zexal or Yugioh Zexal II.

Me: Oh, and I dunno if I mentioned this before, but this is AU. So this takes place instead of Yugioh Zexal II. See you after the chapter.

Chapter 3: Yuma's Inability to Understand Women

"Why the heck are you here?!" Sarah whisper-yelled to Yuma at his new locker.

"Well, your mom insisted on me going to school too to not miss out on any education." Yuma said nonchalantly, lying against the locker. "So I figured, why not! Let's see what your world's school's like! It's really low-tech! There's no D-Pads anywhere and you have to write everything down! Plus the garbage cans just stay there, not like O-Bots like all!"

Sarah stared at him. "Well excuse me but I can't control how much technology this world has you know! This is what everything in this world's like!"

"Anyway, what class do we have next?" Yuma asked.

"Gym class. Hurry and go! Mr. Macdonald gets pretty angry if you're late for his class!"

"Well then come on then!" Yuma began running down the hall, then stopped. He turned back slowly. "Uh, which way is the gym?"

"This way now come on!" Sarah yelled as she began dragging him down the hall with Astral floating behind them.

"My arms hurt!" Yuma whined.

"It's just volleyball. Besides, next class we're doing wrestling." Sarah said as they came out of the gym change rooms.

"Why does the ball come down so hard?!"

"More importantly, why were you yelling Kattobingu all the way across the room?!" Sarah demanded. "You yelled it and jumped up to slam the ball, only to slam yourself into the net!"

"Well, if I Kattobingu, I can do anything!"

"Except hit the ball?"

"Everyone was laughing at you Yuma." Astral said. "But it was a good thing you said the net was soft."

"It wasn't." Yuma muttured.

Sarah watched the two argue and cracked up.

"What's so funny?" Yuma asked.

"I dunno, you two are just so funny!" Sarah kept laughing. "It's so weird that's all!"

"Hah? I don't get it…."

"Anyway, just get your lunch." Sarah waved her hand dismissively. "There's five more minutes until lunch time."

Yuma stopped walking.

"What?" Sarah looked at him, then realized what he was worried about. More heard what he was worried about. His stomach growled extra loudly right in the middle of the hallway.

Sarah facepalmed. "Don't tell me…"

"Ahehe…." Yuma laughed sheepishly. "Your mom didn't pack me any lunch. She just sent me off to school."

". . . . You're so paying me back for this." She went to her locker, took out some money, and gave it to Yuma. "You'll probably be waiting for some time. The line's pretty long."

"Great thanks bye!" Yuma ran off down the hall.

"Ah wait!" Sarah yelled too late. She looked at Yuma's running form and sighed. "I just lent money to Yuma Tsukumo. This is really getting weird."

"Don't worry about it." Astral said. Sarah looked up to see Astral floating next to her instead of Yuma.

"You still here?" She asked.

"Yuma can be quite thick-headed about others around him sometimes." Astral said.

She sighed again. "Yeah…. I watched all of the episodes so I know."

"So these episodes are parts of the adventures that I have with Yuma?"

"Yeah. Like the first and second episode are Yuma and you's duel with Shark."

"Hmm." Astral began thinking.

"But still," Sarah smiled. "He's still really cool. You wouldn't believe how many fangirls he has here! But then, I bet Shark and Kaito have more."

"Fangirls? You mean girls who are fans of Yuma? There are not any in our world. The girls try and ask Yuma to deliver their 'fanmail' to Shark, Kaito, or IV usually."

Sarah started laughing. "Yeah, that's hilarious!"

Astral smiled. "Well I guess it would be normal."

"Yuma's not as old as Shark or Kaito, and not as well known as IV in your world."

"Still, this world of your is very interesting. It would be good to observe more of it."

"You and your observations…" Sarah sighed.

"If Yuma is going to lunch, why are you not?"

"Huh?" Then Sarah's stomach growled. "Oh, right!" She grabbed her lunch and ran down the hallway after Yuma. "Wait up I'm hungry too!"

Astral looked at her. "This human is interesting too."

-SometimelaternoideawhyIdon'tspacethese-

"Jeez… where'd that Yuma go…" Sarah muttured as she looked around the huge, crowded, noisy cafeteria. "I hate eating here but that idiot ended up here somewhere. It's so crowded here!"

Then she spotted Yuma eating at a crowded table with a whole other bunch of kids, obviously enjoying himself with the others happily.

"Oh great." She mumbled. "Of all people to sit with…"

"What is wrong?" Astral said next to her. "Why don't you call Yuma?"

"Uh, I think Yuma'll be just fine!" Sarah said quickly. "Why don't I go eat lunch in my usual spot without him!"

"But don't you need to watch over Yuma? What if something happens?"

"Oh he'll be fine!"

"I still think we should watch him."

"Why don't you watch him while I go somewhere else to eat!"

"Why do you not want to go over there so much?"

"Look, I just don't like those people, okay? Is it not okay to avoid the people you don' like?" She hissed.

"Why don't you just get him. It will be over quickly. I have to talk to Yuma."

Sarah stared at him. "Fine! Thirty seconds and it's over." She stomped over to where Yuma was sitting.

"Oi, Yu, ya. Yuya, where have you been?" She asked.

"Oh hey Sarah!" Yuma smiled, waving a chicken drumstick. "These are really good!"

"Go away nobody likes you." A tall blonde boy said suddenly.

"Come on already Yuya." Sarah said, ignoring the boy.

"You know, he doesn't have to do whatever you say!" A brown-haired girl in a ponytail said. "What are you, his babysitter?"

"She's just probably desperate for some company so she wants to hang out with the new guy!" The boy laughed, along with the rest of them.

Yuma frowned. "That's not very nice."

"Forget it and come on." Sarah hissed as she tugged at his arm. Yuma didn't move.

"What, everyone knows you're just a little girl with no friends! Don't want another person to know?" The boy teased.

"Hey!" Yuma yelled.

"Shut up…." Sarah mumbled.

"Newbie, what's with sticking up for the loner?" Another boy yelled. "Thought you were cooler than that!"

"She doesn't need your sympathy!" A girl laughed. "She's just fine as the wreck that she is!"

Yuma suddenly stood up, slamming his hands against the table. "You, you people…"

"Come on!" Sarah then pulled him all the way out of the lunch room. She pulled him all the way to the library and threw him down in a seat.

"What were you doing?!" She whisper-yelled.

"You were just taking all of that without caring?!" Yuma said back.

"Just ignore them! They're jerks, every one of them." Sarah muttered. "They do it all the time anyway."

"Do you really have no friends?"

Sarah froze. "That's none of your business."

"Why not?" Yuma demanded.

"Look, forget it. We have to walk home today. It's a 40 minute walk, 30 minutes if we run for a bit, 20 if we run the whole way, 50-60 if you want to get some food or a slushie on the way. There's still 20 minutes left in lunch. You can go outside to play, I usually stay in the library."

"Oh." Yuma said, trying to wrap his head around the numbers she just said. "Sure."

"Great now just stay put and don't do anything stupid." Sarah said and began walking away, deeper into the library.

"Wait!"

"What?" She turned around, obviously annoyed.

"Doesn't it get lonely by yourself in the library?"

She stared at him. "None of your business jeez!" Then she walked off.

Yuma looked at her. "Hey Astral."

"Yes?" Astral said next to him.

"Do you think, maybe, there are people lonely here too?"

"Well, no matter where you are, there's always a chance someone will be left out of things."

"Yeah." Sarah was curled up in a corner reading a book by herself. Yuma began thinking, then his eyes light up with an idea.

"Well, I bet if I duel her, everything will be fine!"

Astral facepalmed. "I will restate observation number 11. It seems that Yuma still doesn't understand women's feelings."

"H-Hah? What does that mean?!"

"Oh, nothing really."

Me: And there! Sorry if, well, I dunno. Guess I just felt like saying sorry! Weird, right!

Astral: Not that much for you.

Me: Weird instincts! Like that time I kept on craving ham so I ate 5 slices of it!

Astral: It's a miracle your stomach can hold that much down.

Me: Anyway, review and see you all next time!
