Story 72: The Heartbreaking Text

Hurt/Comfort/Romance

Yugi lay on his bed with his phone in his hand. He was waiting impatiently for Tea to text him back. Him and Tea were girlfriend and boyfriend and they always text to each other. They've been together for almost a week. Luckily Yugi's grandpa bought him a cell phone so he could keep in touch with Tea. Yugi's phone suddenly beeped. He quickly looks at his phone. It said on his phone that he had just received a text from Tea. He presses a button on his phone and it showed Tea's text.

Received: 3:45pm

From: Tea Gardner

Text: sry i took too long to reply! i was busy

Yugi sent her a text back.

Yugi's Text: that's ok want to go somewhere with me?

He immediately received another text.

Tea's Text: sry can't.

Yugi let out a bleak sigh. He sent her a text back.

Yugi's Text: ok what about tomorrow?

Tea's Text: still busy tomorrow.

Yugi's Text: then i guess i'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye…

Tea's Text: Bye!

Tomorrow, Yugi went to school alone. Tea hadn't come to pick him like she usually did. She must be really busy then. Yugi thought as he walked through the school doors. He went into class. He was surprised at what he saw. Tea was talking with Atem. Their faces were really close together. Atem whispered things into Tea's ear making her giggle. Yugi was confused. He walks over to them.

"Hi," was all Yugi could say.

"Hey, Yugi!" Tea greeted him, awkwardly.

Atem looked a little cross. Yugi said no more, as he walked over to his seat. He sat down and sighed. Yugi felt an arm wrap around his neck into a tight squeeze.

"Yug! Did you hear?" Joey Wheeler asked, playfully.

Yugi pulled Joey's arm down from around his neck to get some air. "Hear what?"

"There's a new game out called Ninja Boys!" Joey exclaimed.

Tristan appears next to Joey and Yugi. "Yeah and dude, the price is over a hundred dollars!"

Yugi just nodded slowly. He wasn't feeling very happy right now at all.

Later, Yugi walked home alone. Tea said she couldn't walk with him because she was busy. Yugi was starting to doubt Tea. She didn't seem pretty busy to him. She seemed to be trying to avoid him. Yugi took out his phone and text Tea.

Yugi's Text: Tea?

Three minutes later, he received a text from Tea.

Tea's Text: Hi!

Yugi's Text: r u still busy?

Tea's Text: totally! I just have so much stuff 2 do!

Yugi's Text: I'm getting lonely

Tea's Text: got 2 go, sry!

Yugi put his phone away and walked home. He went up to his room and flopped down on his bed. After an hour he received a text from Tea.

Tea's Text: I'm breaking up with u…

Yugi gasped. Was she kidding? Yugi thought as he quickly sent her a text back.

Yugi's Text: r u kidding around?

Tea's Text: no, I'm serious…

Yugi's Text: But…y?

Tea's Text: I'm sorry, but I can't tell you! Good-bye Yugi!

Yugi felt fresh warm tears roll down his cheeks. Why? He thought.

"Why…Tea…I thought what we had was special…" Yugi whispered. He started crying loudly.

The next day, Yugi was sitting in the class room. Tear stains were on his cheeks and his eyes were bright red. Joey was patting Yugi's back, trying to cheer him up. Tristan was at Yugi's side telling him it'll be okay. Yugi hadn't told them about Tea breaking up with him, but they were there to comfort him. Tea suddenly came into the class room with Atem next to her. They were both laughing together. Yugi looked at them. Tea sees Yugi and her eyes widen. Yugi's face was such a mess and she felt bad for him.

"Yugi…I..." Tea whispered.

"Stop," Yugi said, crossly. "There's nothing you can say or do now…" Yugi got off his seat and walked slowly out of the class room. He never wanted to speak to Tea again.

THE END
