Ryou stood in the middle of his new house completely unsure of what to do with himself. His arms were limp at his sides, and he stared blankly at the closed front door in front of him. This was the usual after all. They move, his father leaves to a different country for business, and he sends him money once a month to live by himself. Why is this time so different? Ryou sighed.

"This is the last time we move Ryou! I promise. You'll make great new friends at this school, I'm sure."

Yeah. You said that last time. And the time before that Ryou thought to himself. Oh yeah, he made great friends alright. He has the scars to prove it, not that his dad would care.

Again he looked around his empty house. It wasn't that big, two bed rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. He didn't understand why they even had two bedrooms. It was never going to be used anyways.

He groaned at the thought of going to school tomorrow. He could stay home and nobody would ever know, but his better judgment got the best of him; he went to bed to prepare for the next day.

u.u

"You must be the new kid. " Ryou shook the deans hand, and nervously looked around the office room. There were boring grey walls with boring grey furniture. It reminded him of a prison. He squirmed in the seat under the glare of the dean who stared at him as if he was wasting his precious time.

"I have your schedule right here. It's a big campus, so I've asked a student to show you around." The big burly man stood up and began to leave the room. Ryou nodded and followed him out of the small office into the hallway. He stared nervously at his black converse and light blue jeans. He shoved his hands into his over worn blue hoodie, and looked up as he heard footsteps.

A small boy with astonishingly large hair came walking up to the dean. "Mr. Well!"

"Hello Yugi. This is the new student Ryou Miyoshi." The man turned on his heel, seemingly happy to get Ryou off his hands.

"Hello Ryou! I'm Yugi Moto." Yugi shook his hand, and Ryou stared blankly. Holy crap his hair is like, bigger than his entire body.

"Well, I'm here to show you around. Let me see your schedule?" Yugi smiled extremely bright and extended his hand. Ryou nervously handed over the paper. Wow. This guy is has enough pep to fuel a cheerleading squad.

"Hey! We have a lot of classes together. This is great." Yugi began walking forwards, "Follow me please!"

Ryou tightened his grip on his backpack and followed strictly behind him. He looked around at all the students as he passed through the hall. He muttered to himself, "Yep. Definitely a prison."

Yugi surprised him by slowing his step in sync next to Ryou, and laughed. "Yeah, but it's not all that bad."

Ryou deadpanned, "Try telling that to Mr. Stick up my butt."

Yugi let out a genuine laugh, "My friends call him The Grouch." Ryou smiled, and Yugi grinned back, "You have no idea how many times they've gotten detention because of it."

u.u

After embarrassingly being introduced to his first period, he quickly took the open seat next to Yugi. As soon as the teacher began talking, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around, and met eyes with a grinning dirty blonde.

"Heya! The names Joey."

Ryou's eyes widened a little, "Um, Ryou." Brooklyn? Yeah, Brooklyn. Ryou studied the grinning teenager in front of him. How did someone from Brooklyn end up all the way here in Japan? But I guess it's not that weird considering I have that awful English accent.

"Yeah! Ya' new right?"

"Oh no, they just made him stand up there and say his name and favorite color for fun." A tall man with blue eyes and brown hair deadpanned without even looking at Joey. He sat on the other side of Yugi.

"Hey! Shut it Kaiba!" Joey snarled.

"Make me mutt."

"Guys." Yugi pinched the bridge of his nose. "Class is kinda going on."

"Hey, Kaiba started it!"

"Bullshit." Kaiba replied again without even giving the Brooklyn teenager a glance.

Yugi sighed. Ryou raised an eyebrow, and grinned at Yugi. Yugi leaned over towards Ryou, "That's Seto Kaiba."

"The Seto Kaiba?" Ryou asked, slightly impressed.

"Yep. They're always like this." He whispered.

"I can literally feel the sexual tension." Ryou said. Yugi snickered and the teacher immediately told them to be quiet or leave the room.

"Yes mam." They all replied in sync. As soon as the teacher turned around, Kaiba and Joey immediately glared at each other.

u.u

A couple classes later, Yugi had a grip on his wrist and was leading him towards a lunch table outside. He saw two tables pushed together and a few people already sitting there.

So far he had met Kaiba, Joey, Yugi, and Marik. He kind of got the impression that Marik thinks he is the most fabulous thing to walk the earth. (And judging by his dress style, he kind of is.) Ryou felt slightly happy that he was meeting actual friends. He felt extremely grateful towards Yugi for introducing him to people.

Yugi sat at the table and patted the spot next to him. Ryou gladly accepted and stared at the familiar and unfamiliar faces at the table.

"Ryou, this is Yami and Malik." Yami waved happily, and Malik nodded then went back to eating his food. Yami rolled his eyes at Malik, and moved to sit next to Yugi. The two became engrossed in a conversation, and Ryou stared blankly at his food.

Wow that Yami guy looks just like Yugi. He glanced at the two out of the corner of his eye. They were both smiling and Yugi was giggling like a madman. They're kinda cute though. Yami gives off that whole badass exterior and Yugi is all funtimes and giggles. Yugi let out another string of giggles and Malik rolled his eyes.

Ryou stared at them for a minute before deciding that they should definitely hook up.

"Ryoouuu!" He turned at the call of his name, to be met with a face full of Marik.

"Hi." Ryou replied almost sarcastically.

Marik plotted himself directly next to Ryou, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders.

"Ugh, Malik, isn't he just the cutest little thing!"

Malik looked up from his food and rose an eyebrow. "He looks like Bakura."

Ryou looked at Malik in surprise. Who is Bakura?

Marik gasped, "He does not! Bakura is ugly and stinky and Ryou is so cute and pure!"

Ryou stared blankly and blushed at Malik across from him while Marik nuzzled his hair and mewled. Malik chuckled and gave Ryou a sorry look.

This guy literally radiates flaming homosexual Ryou thought as he tried to ignore the Egyptian currently running his hands through his hair. But I really shouldn't be saying anything considering myself.

Suddenly Maliks eyes were focused on something above his head and grinned.

"I am not stinky."

Marik froze in his tracks and ripped himself away from the flushing Ryou. "Bakura!" Marik hissed.

"You can not still be mad about that."

"Oh, he's definitely still mad," Yami smirked, now interested in the conversation.

Ryou looked completely lost, and Yugi decided to fill him in.

"They had a bet and Bakura won. Therefore Marik had to-"

"Don't fucking say it." Marik pinched the bridge of his nose; wrinkling his tanned face.

Malik wrapped his arms around Marik, who buried his face into his shoulder. Malik gave a thumbs up to Bakura who smirked back. Bakura promptly sat where Marik had been seconds before he ran into Maliks arms.

Ryou looked over to Yugi and mouthed, "Are they dating?"

Yugi grinned and nodded.

Ryou's attention turned to the new person now sitting next to him.

He nervously looked this Bakura up and down. He kind of did look like him, a little. Except not. Its strange because they both had white hair, but he held himself completely different. He had this bad boy appearance, wearing ripped grey jeans that hugged him tightly; with a black band t-shirt he hadn't heard of before. He had a gage in one ear and a piercing on the corner of his lip. And he was utterly gorgeous.

Ryou realized he was staring, and quickly snapped his head away. Yugi gave Ryou a knowing look, and he blushed furiously, becoming focused on his food.

"Ay, I never heard what 'e was dared to do!" Joey joined and sat next to Yami. Yami clapped a hand on his shoulder as if to say hello.

"He had to dance around in a potato sack with a giant dick drawn on his face in front of the football team." Bakura responded, but was entirely staring at Ryou.

A muffled groan could be heard from Marik who was still hiding his shame into a smirking but otherwise emotionless Malik. "It was awful. They're all so fucking gorgeous." Everyone laughed, and Marik held up his middle finger.

The entire time Ryou felt holes being burned into him from the man sitting next to him. A gruff voice randomly asked, "Who is this?"

"U-um-" Ryou stuttered.

"This is Ryou Miyoshi. He's new 'ere." Joey responded with a mouth full.

"Can you not." A snarky voice called from the table next to them.

Ryou slowly looked at the corporate owner next to them. Uh oh…Aren't they enemies or something?

"You got a problem Kaiba!?"

"Annnd lunch is over." Yami promptly stood up, the entire table following suit like it was the usual.

"What…" Ryou asked as everyone evacuated, going their separate ways.

"As soon as they begin to fight, we don't even bother." Marik piped up, dumping his food in a trash can.

Ryou smiled, it was kind of cute though. The argument could be heard in the background.

"Although, Kaiba does hang out with us sometimes when he's not being all business man and whatever. He can be cool occasionally." Marik said. Ryou looked over to Kaiba, and back over to Marik to find him running at full speed towards Malik. He shook his head and decided it was time to go to class.

"Hey Ryou, what class do you have next?" Yami stood behind him, and Ryou jumped and spun on his heel, almost losing his balance.

"U-um.." He looked down at his schedule, "Mathematics."

"Hey, cool, you have that with me and Bakura. Ay, theif!"

Theif? Ryou looked questioningly at Yami, who gave him a well what did you expect look.

His look alike was sitting on top of the trash can, with a cigarette between his lips. He was currently talking to Malik, who was then pulled away by Marik. Bakura looked their way.

"What?"

"Math."

"Ughhhh," Bakura groaned.

"You are going, you've skipped the past week." Yami crossed his arms.

"Make me."

"You know I will."

"Bitch."

"Faggot."

"Asshole."

"Delinquent"

"Stick in the mud"

"Ugh. Fine. Fail like the disappointment you are," Yami called, but in a semi-joking tone. "Come on Ryou, we're going to be late."

At the mention of Ryou's name, Bakura suddenly looked over at the duo headed towards the doors. He mused over his thoughts for a second, and then hopped off the trash can leisurely and began his walk towards class. Maybe I'll go just for a little while.

u.u

Ten minutes into math class Bakura came walking in the doors.

"Well, look who it is…" The teacher crossed her arms.

Bakura waved her off and sat down directly next to Ryou, who flushed very lightly and looked away. He looked over at Yami who was texting beneath the desk.

Halfway through class he heard a whisper, "Hey new kid."

He whispered back, " It's Ryou."

"Yeah yeah whatever. You wanna ditch?"

Ryou stared at him blankly, "Um. No?"

"Why not?"

"Because this is my first day here- and didn't Yami say you've ditched all week? You of all people should be here-"

"Ugh. Lame." Bakura leaned back in his seat. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "When did you get into town?" Ryou found himself staring at his unruly white hair.

Ryou shrugged, "Maybe a couple days ago?"

Bakura nodded, "Welcome to hell."

Ryou sighed and leaned onto his right arm. Definitely hell. Sitting next to you for the rest of the year is going to give me a heart attack. People shouldn't be that pretty. Ryou sighed again.

u.u

The last period of the day turned out to be his favorite class. Everyone from lunch was all in art, which turned out to have a teacher who really didn't give a shit about the class. He knew everyone took it just for the credit anyway.

"So, the teacher is never here?" Ryou asked in unbelief.

"Yep! It's pretty fun. We just play games and talk the whole day." They walked out the school doors as the bell rang. "Are you taking the bus?"

"No, I walked here." Ryou said.

"Oh, where?"

Ryou told him his new address, and Yugi decided to walk him home, considering he needed to stop at a store only a few minutes away from Ryous new home. The two walked happily down the street as they told each other lots about themselves. When Ryou said goodbye to Yugi, he felt content has he closed the door.

That wasn't so bad I guess. Ryou slumped down on the couch and gathered his thoughts about all the new people he had met today. I'll be sure to thank Yugi tomorrow.
