Chapter Two
Yusei's POV
I handed Miss Beauty Queen her notebook back. Her eyebrows shot right up, and I had to work at not laughing. Maybe I shouldn't have written you and me…this Friday…Turkish style, but it was good for a laugh.
"Mrs. Izinski?"
I watch in amusement as Miss Perfection herself looks up at Peterson. Oh, she's good. This partner of mine knows how to hide her true emotions.
"Yes?" She asks, titling her head and smiling while flashing her white teeth.
I wondered if that smile has ever gotten her out of a speeding ticket. I had gotten plenty while practicing for a duel on my D-Wheeler. But that's how it goes when you come from the Satellite.
"It's your turn introduce your partner to the class."
I leaned on one elbow on the lab table, waiting for an introduction. She either has to make up some crappy fish story or fess up that she doesn't know crap about me. She glances at my comfortable position and I can tell that I've stumped her.
"This Yusei Fudo," She starts, her voice hitching the slightest bits. "When he isn't hanging out on street corners, dueling, or harassing innocent people, he tours the inside of jails around the city." She paused, and then continued, a little smirk on her face. "And he has a secret desire that nobody would ever guess."
The room suddenly becomes quiet. Even Peterson straightens up and leans forward. Heck, I'm listening to her.
"His secret desire," She continues. "Is to go to college and become a chemistry teacher like you, Mrs. Peterson."
Yeah, right. Now it was my turn and she was going to pay. I stood up and the entire class stopped laughing. Hey, I have the effect on people.
"This is Akiza Izinski." I say, all eyes focused on me. "This past summer she went to the mall, bought new clothes so she could expand her wardrobe, and used her daddy's money on plastic surgery to enhance her, ahem, assets. And her secret desire is to escape the rich city and to date a guy from the Satellite."
Akiza's gaze shifted to me. She's pissed, I can tell.
Good.
The class claps as I finished and several wolf-whistled as I lean back in my chair, propping my feet on the desk, crossing my arms over my head. Only problem, my shoe barely nudged her sketchpad.
"Don't touch it!" She hissed as she snatched it up. The bell had finally rang. Dang, was it that important to her? Her voice was cracking as she spoke and her eyes were looking a little watery. I followed her out.
"You okay?" I asked, as she threw books in her locker.
"Leave me alone." She snapped.
"Hey, what did I do?"
She turned on me and jammed her well-manicured finger in my chest. "Did you get a good laugh at that, Yusei? Huh? Did you think that was funny?"
"Hilarious, actually." I answered, leaning against the row of lockers.
She slammed the locker door shut.
"Look, I don't date guys in gangs, and I don't use drugs."
"What a coincidence. I don't date guys in gangs, either." I tell her, stepping closer to her. "And I'm no user. Don't you know how badly that could mess up a duel?"
"You think you me, don't you?" She snaps. "Well, you don't. My life isn't as perfect as you seem to think it is."
What? They ran out of hair dye? Tsk, tsk, poor thing."
"Shut up!" She yells, clenching her fists and causing a few students to look over. I honestly thought she was going to punch me in the face. For a Barbie Queen, she was tough. I'd give her that. "For your information, this is my natural color. You know nothing about me!"
"And what? You think you know me?" I asked.
"I know enough."
"You're afraid of me." It's not a question. I just wanted to hear from her own lips what her reason was."
"People expect you to run all over town, wrecking things with your D-Wheeler."
"Getting near the fire doesn't necessarily mean you get burned, Aki. Haven't you ever rode on a D-Wheeler before?"
She sniffed. "No. And I don't plan on it, either."
I grinned. "Well, one of these days, I just might have to take you out on it whether you plan on it not." I turn away from her and start walking, lifting my hand in good-bye. "Later, Aki." I said over my shoulder.
