Hey guys! So for the longest time when I was a kid I was OBSESSED with Yu-gi-oh. And I mean the original one and the best one (in my opinion). I also had an unhealthy obsession with the character Seto Kaiba. Like holy hell you should have seen my room. It was Kaiba everywhere! Anyway! Recently, Yu-gi-oh has returned to television. Not any new episodes of course but reruns of all five seasons. So, to get to my point, I was inspired to make a fanfiction. That my friends, is why I'm writing this now. This story takes place around the Battle City and virtual arc. I should also mention that to my dismay, I do not own Yu-gi-oh or any of its characters. I only own my O.C.s and the plotline of this fanfiction. SO with all that said, read on and enjoy!
The girl stared at the large, school building in front of her. The wind blew past her face, lifting pieces of her long, black hair. She walked up the stone steps toward the entrance and pushed the door open. Masses of students in blue and pink uniforms were scattered across the hallway, talking loudly and laughing. I have no idea where I'm going, she thought.
"Hey! Do you need help?" The girl turned towards the voice. A girl around the same height and wearing the required girl uniform stood behind her. The girl smiled and brushed a few stray, brown hairs out of her clear blue eyes.
"I'm Tea," the brunette said, sticking out her hand. "Do you need help?"
"I'm Veronica but you can call me Ronnie," the other girl said, shaking Tea's hand. "Uh yeah actually, I do need help. I just moved here from California so I have no idea where I'm going."
"I'll be happy to give you a tour! Come on!" Tea gripped Ronnie's hand and started down the hall.
"I assume that you don't know your classes yet so we'll stop by the office first, then I want you to meet my friends."
After stopping at the office, Tea guided Ronnie down the hallways in the direction of her friends.
"You're going to love my friends. They're the best. Hey Yugi!" she yelled, waving one of her arms above her head. A short boy with spiked hair turned towards Tea's voice and smiled.
"There you are Tea. We were wondering whether or not you were coming to school today."
"Yeah. I just was giving the new girl a tour. Guys this is Ronnie." Ronnie joined their small circle and smiled at the three boys. One boy was tall with messy, blonde hair and warm brown eyes. The second was tall with spiked brown hair. The last boy, Yugi, was short and had spiked, tri-colored hair.
"Ronnie this is Tristan," she paused, pointing to the brunette. "And this is Joey and Yugi."
"Nice to meet you guys."
"It's nice to meet ya too Ronnie. Where r' ya from?" Joey asked.
"Southern California."
"Dang. All the way over there? Why'd ya move?"
"Oh um I just wanted to get to know Japan since I'll be going to college here." Ronnie caught sight of the chain around Yugi's neck and her eyes brightened.
"Whoa is that what I think that is?"
"You know about the millennium items?"
"Of course I do! I'm one sixteenth Egyptian. My grandma used to tell me stories about the millennium items and the Pharaohs all the time." Ronnie pulled up the sleeve of her shirt to show the intricate tattoo of an Egyptian eye on her left wrist.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get blessed with the Egyptian tanned skin gene. Instead I got the Irish gene."
"Quite a sense of humor ya got there. Since we still have another twenty minutes before class why don't we all show ya around?"
"That would be great thanks."
"Well then come along me lady," Joey said with a goofy grin. Ronnie grinned and followed Joey and the others. Joey talked loudly as he walked down the hall with the other three in tow. Ronnie gazed around the hallways as Joey spoke. Suddenly she collided with someone, sending her and the person she ran into backwards. She immediately glanced at the person she collided with, an apologetic look on her face. The person she collided with was a tall boy with chestnut colored hair. His bangs fell into his face, nearly concealing his sapphire colored eyes. He was frowning.
"Oh gosh I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention."
"Clearly. Don't be an idiot next time and watch where you're going." She frowned.
"Alright. It's no big deal. I said I was sorry. No one got hurt so it's all good." The boy's frown stayed.
"No big deal? Is that what you think? Do you have any idea who I am?" Oooh, Ronnie thought in irritation. What's this guy's problem?
"An asshole?" she asked, faking curiosity and tilting her head to the side. The boy's eyes narrowed.
"Whatever. I don't have time for this." Without another word, he shoved passed her and disappeared down the hallway.
"What crawled up his butt and died? Who was that anyways?"
"That was Seto Kaiba. He's the owner and CEO of the gaming company Kaiba Corp."
"Well that explains why he sprinkled extra egocentric asshole in his cereal today."
"I've never seen anyone talk to Money Bags like that," Joey praised.
"Well no one except for Joey but he always comes out looking like an idiot after an argument with Kaiba," Tristan said with a chuckle.
"Tristan!" Joey hissed.
"Alright guys, that's enough. Let's keep showing Ronnie around." Joey continued to lead the group down the hall, his voice carrying throughout the whole hallway. Ronnie couldn't help but grin at how ridiculous he was acting.
"And if ya look to your left you'll see what we call a clique, definition: a poorly assembled mockery of a social group made up of people who have no lives or morals."
"Would you stop?" Ronnie laughed, playfully slapping Joey on the arm. "I want my classmates to like me and with you as my tour guide they'll hate me."
"I doubt that. Besides, once everyone hears about what happened between you and Kaiba, they'll all be ya biggest fans." Her brows furrowed.
"Why's that?
"Everyone hates him." The way Joey answered her question so quickly and simply, as if it was just a fact of life, made her frown. Does everyone really hate him? That can't be true. At least one person must like him.
"What class do you have first Ronnie?" Yugi asked. Ronnie reached into the pocket of her pink blazer and pulled out a folded up piece of paper.
"Uh History 101 with Mr. Yukido."
"Awesome! I have that class too! I'll walk with ya."
"Sounds like a plan," she responded with a grin.
"Oh I should warn ya, Money Bags is in that class too." She shrugged.
"Whatever. He goes to the same school, I'm bound to see him sometime." The bell rang, signaling the students to head to class.
"We'll see ya guys later!" Joey called, dragging Ronnie in the direction of their history class.
The morning passed without much excitement. After her first class, Ronnie met up with Tea and Tristan, who were both in her second and third classes. After her third class, it was time for lunch. Ronnie followed her friends to the cafeteria chatting with them as if they all had been friends forever. Ronnie stopped when she noticed someone sitting at a table alone. Is that Kaiba? Why is he sitting alone?
"Does he always sit alone?" she asked, tilting her head in the direction of Kaiba's table.
"Ya thought I was joking about him having no friends? He always sits alone." He always sits alone? Maybe I should apologize to him for earlier and ask him to sit with us, she thought. But he was a complete asshole, another part of her argued. Be the bigger person. Ronnie walked towards Kaiba's table and sat down. He looked up from the book he was reading and his eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing?"
"Um hi. I'm Ronnie." She smiled sweetly and stuck out her hand for a shake. He looked at her hand then at her, his face blank.
"I only shake hands with people I respect." Ronnie frowned and withdrew her hand. Keep your cool Ronnie. You'll deal with asses your whole life, he's just the biggest one so far.
"I uh just wanted to apologize for earlier. I'm kind of hot headed and I tend to lack a filter between my mind and my mouth." He simply looked back down at his book and continued to read.
"Hey Kaiba, whatcha readin'?" Joey asked, strolling over with the rest of the group. Kaiba slammed his book down in irritation.
"No, no, no! This is the only free period in school and I do not want to have to deal with you guys during it!"
"Hey guys, why don't you grab us a table?" Ronnie asked. "I'll catch up in a minute."
"Alright Ronnie. We'll save you a seat." Once the group left, Kaiba stared at Ronnie.
"Why did you do that?"
"Well it was clear they were bugging you and I wasn't done talking to you yet."
"You didn't have to do that?"
"I know. Consider it a peace offering." She gathered her stuff and stood up from the table. "See you in class." As Ronnie walked off, Kaiba couldn't help but watch her leave. Maybe she wouldn't be as unbearable to deal with as he thought.
Well there we go people. There's the first chapter of Take A Chance On Me. Umm hopefully you guys liked it. I apologize if the characters are a tad O.C. but it's my first time writing these characters so I'm still testing out the waters. Also, the ending was kinda rushed and for lack of a better word, cliché and shitty so I apologize for that as well. Other than that, I would say I'm pretty proud of this chapter. Hopefully my main character doesn't seem like a Mary Sue because she so isn't. Anyways, I'm rambling now. So read and review and I'll talk to you guys next chapter. Peace out girl scouts!
