Atem: *Rolls eyes*

For the next 2 days, everything seemed to have gone back to normal, even by a bit. The only difference was that Sarah acted a little more distant, or was lost in her own thoughts. Sometimes the teacher would have to call her three times to snap her out of it. Bakura made sure to give her the notes she'd missed. She was lucky to have someone like him sit next to her. During lunch break, Bakura was planning to eat by himself out in the courtyard, when he saw Sarah sitting alone herself. Bakura blinked and walked over, to she was drawing something.

"Sarah?" She looked up at him, and smiled,

"Hi Bakura. What'cha doing?" Bakura smiled back and said,

"Just having lunch. I usually eat alone here though..."

"Oh! I-I'm sorry! I didn't know you liked ta eat alone here! I'll-" "It's fine Sarah." Bakura interrupted, smiling nervously. "You can join me if you want." Sarah blinked, before blushing a light pink.

"O-Oh...Ok." Bakura sat across from her and pulled out his lunch. Sarah caught a whiff of it and smiled at the smell, before going back to drawing. Bakura took a bite of his sandwich before asking,

"So what are you drawing today?" Sarah looked up from her sketch book, and turned it around, showing a picture of Sarah as a kid, from what it looked like, and her Great Grandma.

"I...I drew this one my computer, but it didn't turn out right...I wanted to improve a bit." Sarah said. Bakura smiled, knowing that even though this was hard for her, she took Emily's words to heart.

"It's very nice. I'm sure she would've loved it." Sarah nodded,

"Yes. She was a down to earth person. Always making sure we were well fed and healthy." Sarah smiled, closing her eyes, going back into her thoughts. Bakura continued to smile before he heard something growling. Not an animal growl, but rather...someone's stomach? Sarah blushed, sweat dropping and holding her stomach. Bakura laughed and said,

"You hungry?" Sarah nodded and said,

"Yes...But...I forgot to bring a lunch today..." Bakura blinked.

"What about the cafeteria? Why not buy lunch?"

"I um...forgot my wallet today..." Bakura frowned. Why didn't she say anything from the start? He took out a cremepuff and offered it to her.

"Here. If you didn't have anything to eat you should've just said something." Sarah flailed her upper arms in front of her.

"N-No thank you! I-I'm used to not eating! Besides I wouldn't want to be a bother to you!"

"Sarah. Take it." Bakura said, his voice deeply serious. Sarah stared at him, then slowly took the cremepuff.

"Thanks." She took a bite, and instantly felt the sweet taste flood her mouth. She smiled widely and said, "Th-This is great! It's so yummy!" Bakura chuckled and said,

"Thanks. I made it myself." Sarah felt her mouth drop a little.

"Y-You made this? I never knew you were a cook! You must make an awsome cake!" Bakura chuckled again.

"I can actually. I had a lot of time to practice, since I live alone." Sarah stared at him, slightly shocked.

"You live alone? But you're so young..." Bakura looked down, still smiling, but Sarah noticed some sadness in his eyes.

"I've lived on my own for a while actually. Ever since..." Bakura stopped himself, and Sarah wondered what was wrong. "My dad is an archeologist. He is away from home a lot so I'm usually on my own." Sarah titled her head a little.

"What about your mom?" She asked. Bakura looked at her, looking nervous.

"Well-" Just then the bell rang. Sarah looked towards the door which lead back inside.

"Oh, lunch is over." She stood up. "Well, I'll see you later Bakura. Thank you for the food. I'll return the favor somehow." She smiled and waved goodbye as she walked back inside. Bakura waved until she made it back inside. He then sighed and leaned back a bit.

"Saved by the bell..."

Emily was putting up halloween decorations in the classroom. She'd even made a poster with Sarah yesterday, and hung it up on the wall. Just then she saw Atem standing outside in the front courtyard and she knocked on the window to get his attention. He looked over to where the noise was comming from, and saw Emily waving at him. He smiled and waved back, as Emily walked through the cafateria door to the courtyard and walked over.

"Hi Atem. What are you doing here?" Emily asked,

"I just thought I hang around for a while. You seem to be having fun decorating." Emily smiled and nodded.

"Ya, I even made a poster with Sarah yesterday. She's a really good drawer, and she even told me she wanted to be a manga artist when she's older." Atem smiled and said,

"Yes, she has a great talent. Have you seen her work on her computer?" Emily shook her head,

"No, but I'm going over her house somtime. Maybe I can ask her to show me." Atem nodded and looked towards the road.

"So, you excited for the dance?" Atem asked. Emily shrugged and said,

"I guess. I still don't know what to go as though..."

"Going with anyone?" Atem asked, absentmindly. Emily blushed a light red and shook her head violently.

"N-No no! I'd probably go by myself. Why you ask?" Atem snapped out of his thoughts, and looked at her. He felt his cheeks going warm,

"I...I was just..." "Hey Emily!" The two turned to see two girls waving at them. Emily waved back and turned to Atem,

"I guess I'll be seeing you." Atem nodded,

"Yes, see you later." Atem said smiling. Emily smiled back and waved as she ran over to the girls.

"Who was that Emily?" One asked.

"Oh, he's one of my friends." Emily said. One of the girls brought a hand to the side of her mouth and said,

"Is he your boyfriend?" Emily blushed a dark crimson and yelled,

"N-No! He's just a friend!"

"Oh Emily, you lucky girl! Don't deny it!" Emily waved her hands violently in front of her,

"He's not! I promise!" The girls shrugged and one said smiling slyly,

"Ok ok. He's not your boyfriend...Yet..."

"ATEM IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Emily shouted, her face completly covered in red. She slapped her hands over her mouth, reilizing that she shouted it out loud. She turned around, and to her horror, Atem was still there. His eyes where wide as baseballs, and his face looked like someone had taken a red marker and wrote all over his face. Emily waved nervously, as she turned back to her two friend, grabbing them by the shoulders. "Let's go back to decorating."

"Oh Emily, don't be bashful now!"

"Ya, your extremly lucky to have HIM like you!"

"He's so handsome! I wouldn't be surprized if he DID ask you to the dance!"

"LET'S GO BACK TO DECORATING." Emily said, her teeth clenched. As Atem saw them walk back inside, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He walked away, Emily still in his thoughts. The rest of the day, things went smoothly. The gang walked home from school together, and were happy that Sarah was at least a little bit better. Atem joined them for the walk.

"So Sarah, finish that picture?" Bakura asked. Sarah nodded.

"Ya, I just need to finish coloring it!" Yugi blinked, but smiled.

"Another picture of your grandma?" Sarah smiled and nodded.

"I think I should put it in her coffen tomorrow. The funeral is tomorrow." Sarah looked ahead, then sighed. "Man...Things are going to be so different without her..." Atem placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Remember. She's always with you. Here or not." Sarah looked at him and smiled.

"Yes. Though it took me a while to realize that." Everyone then walked home, Sarah thanking god that she had the greatist friends in the world.
