Welcome to Gaia! ::

((A quick post before bed biggrin ))

"What do you mean why? Youre too dumb to figure that out? You really should stop complaining and be gratefull you lousy mutt." He said, still speaking in an amused tone. He laughed at him when he tried to act all tough. "Is that a threat? I seem to remember you trying to pick a fight with me before, and we all remember how you got thrown on your face." He said smuggly, thinking back to duelist kingdom. "Oh well, I kind of wanted to see if you could actually learn something but I would much rather watch you crash and burn on your own."

Sam hurried over to them, seeing Joey in a fighting stance. "Joey! Seto!" She said as she approached. Joey was already ina fighting stance and the students had begun crowding around. She quickly moved in front of Joey and placed her hands on her hips. "Why are you fighting? Do you know how much I had to BEG to get him to help you?! And Smiko Kaiba does not usually BEG for anything!" She said angrilly. She calmed down and looked serious. "If Seto helps you study I know you can pass that exam and get into that college you wanted to go to. I dont see why you wouldnt accept it..." She said. She knew about Joey's troubled home life and that this would really help him out.

Tea smirked a little as he said Joey wasnt Sam's boyfriend. "Well he PRACTICALLY is. You can really tell how much she likes him! Isnt that great?" She said cheerfully as they started walking to class. She was hoping to discourage him so he would focous on her instead.

Yugi looked thoughtfull for a moment. "I know Sam mentioned something about swimming at her house, or us all going out to eat." He said. He wasnt sure what they officially decided on but he just knew they all wanted to get together and have some fun after school. He couldnt believe they were graduating either! "Yeah the year flew by! It doesnt seem that long since you first came to stay with us. And I'm really glad you did!" He said sweetly and his face got a little redder as he smiled at her.

((Ok the next day sounds good, they need the whole day for the beach. I like the sushi/hibachi idea, maybe they can be talking a little about the becah plan at dinner and Tea kisses Yugi to ensure he'll invite her? and Akiko sees it?

hmmm for making Sam mad, maybe Joey can flirt with another girl in front of her and make her mad and Atem tries to cheer her up and actually offends her by saying soemthing like 'well Joey doesnt really like you he likes every girl' or something that would make her mad at both of them. I was thinking Tea could steal the card later and Sam thinks she lost it and feels really bad?

So mai and Seto can go and Seto keeps getting mad over Joey and maybe tries to flirt with mai or soemone else to piss him off? Aw yugi will be so upset when Akiko is mad at him))

Sam's face got a little red and she looked down to the side a little angrilly when he repeated that she begged. Yeah it was embarressing. She perked up when he said he would do it though. She looked up and smiled at him. She laughed. "Good Joey! You show him!" She encouraged him. She looked back at her triumphently smirking brother.

Seto was smirking victoriously. This was certainly going to be interesting. "We'll see about that. Later dweebs." He said and got into the limo before it pulled away from the curb and drove away. It was a shame Sam came and stopped Joey before things got physical. Seto didnt completely understand this feeling but he know he very much enjoyed his little fights with Joey. He thought he must really hate that idiot. Soon the limo arrived at Kaiba Corp and he walked inside, seeming to be in a better mood then usual. He even greeted his secretary, which surprised her very much.

Sam sighed as Seto left and turned back to joey and smiled with a nod. "Yeah, oh wait look!" She said excitedly as they were walking. She took out the card Atem gave her in its case and showed Joey. "Atem gave it to me! Isnt it awsome?" She said happilly as they headed to class.

Yugi chuckled, remembering she was indeed very shy at first and so was he. It was weird having a girl in the house, especially one so pretty. But then they started playing games together and became close friends. He wasnt sure when exactly he realized he had a crush on her but he kept it a secret from even Atem for a long time.

Tea was furious! Why did he care so much about that dumb girl and Joey? She placed her bag down at her seat and then moved to sit in front of Atem, which was actually Sam's seat. "Different huh? Well opposites attract, I think they're perfect for each other!" she said, trying to sound cute and sweet. She needed some help with this. She got up and then moved to sit on Yugi's desk, successfully blocking Yugi from Akiko. She ran a hand through his hair and smiled at him. "Dont you think so Yugi?"

Yugi laughed at what Akiko said about Joey. It was true, Joey had been even more of a womanizer then usual, hitting on any girl that walked by. Yugi quickly moved his hands off of his desk and gulped, his face red as tea sat on his desk. He shivered as she ran a hand through his hair. "Um uh yea- I mean sure." He said, not being able to think straight really. Sure he cared for Akiko way more but he couldnt help but be affected by Tea when she flirted with him since he used to be in love with her.

((Maybe Mai is already there and joins them? will tea kiss him in front of everyone or just her? well he wont know shes there i guess cause he wouldnt do that in front of akiko. I dont know when they should fist fight if they should at all, well if they do Sam could show that shes more worried about Atem))

"Glad to help. I'd do anything for you Joey." She said sweetly, trying to flirt back a little but she meant it, they were still friends. Sam couldnt help but smile when Joey flirted with her. It made her feel good and even if he didnt flirt with other girls she still felt like he cared about her at least as a friend. She smiled at Atem after showing Joey the card and then she hurried over to Akiko to show her. It was a big deal to show Akiko since Sam partially told her that she liked Atem. She didnt tell her how much she liked him she just talked about him a lot when they were hanging out with just them and Mai. She had a grin on her face that was easy for her friend to read. "Isnt it cool? Atem gave it to me..." She said, glancing at him across the room. She then looked at her puzzled. "Is something wrong?" She asked quietly. She would make her way to her own desk in front of Atem when the bell rang but Akiko didnt look too happy and it was the last day of school too!

Tea loved the effect she had on Yugi. It was so easy to take advantage of his feelings for her. But she didnt feel the same about him, she loved Atem, and she would make sure she got him! But it was still fun to flirt with Yugi and she was trying to make Atem jealous.

Yugi didnt see the look Atem gave him, he was too destracted by Tea. He snapped out of it when he heard more people enter the room. He then looked around Tea and noticed that Akiko wasnt there anymore. He blinked confused and looked over at her desk where he spotted her and Sam. When did she move over there and why? He looked very dissapointed. He heard the bell ring and much to his dismay Tea hopped off his desk to move to her seat. He would make sure to talk to Akiko later. She wasnt mad or anything was she? She didnt look too happy.

((No Seto for now))

((i think him and tea should kiss off to the side and Akiko maybe was looking for him and sees it? ok so they fight, Sam shows worry for atem and sticks up for him more and Joey gets mad and then Seto can go talk to him))

"Hmmm ok..." Sam said unsure if she believed her friend. Unfortunately the bell rang so she had to return to her seat. She smiled at Atem before sitting down and putting her card in her bag. She really did love that he gave it to her. She would cherish it. Then a thought occured to her. Was she supposed to give him something too? What if he expected it now? It had to be something nice! She looked a little worried. She leaned her head into her hand in though. What could she give to him in return? Maybe soemthing to show she liked him? No that didnt matter since they were just friends. She frowned a little. It wasnt like he had a girlfriend or anything to stop her but she didnt want to risk the friendship they had now.

Tea watched closely as Sam put the card away. She had to have that card. Sure Atem didnt give it to her but she didnt want Sam to have it. She smiled and pretended to write notes. She was really writing Atems name with hers or drawing little hearts around it. She glanced up and over at Yugi. She knew he was her best ticket to Atem right now. Though she didnt notice Atem getting jealous over her she would continue to try that and as long as she flirted with Yugi she was part of the group and would be included in the activities.

Yugi was torn. He felt really good about Tea paying atention to him but at the same time he only wanted Akiko's attention and Tea was just a distraction now. When Joey teased him his face only got more red and he looked from Joey to Tea to Akiko, hiding his face a little with his hand as he chuckled nervously. "Its just uh eh hot in here..." He tried to cover up.

((So r we going to go through the day or skip to lunch or just to the end of the day?))

((ooo we should skip to gym first and have Joey and Atem trying to show off/compete for Sam, and maybe we can have Akiko and Tea competeing a little too?))

Sam was in deep thought trying to think of the perfect gift for Atem. She didnt even hear the bell ring but was snapped out of her thoughts when Akiko came over and showed her her little drawing. She started laughing. "Haha I love it!" She said, thinking that her head mind as well be full of puppies since her brain isnt helping her think of anything to give to Atem. She started picking up her books and answered Atem, "Cause I'm crazy about puppies!" She said.

As they were all destracted with Akiko's drawing, Tea took this opportunity to reach into her bag and snatch the card Atem had given her. She quickly put it in her own bag and then joined the group. "I guess thats why you like Joey so much huh Sam? He's just like a puppy like your brother says." She commented to continue to discourage Atem.

Yugi gathered his things and walked over to them. He stood closest to Akiko to see her reaction. He wanted to make sure she wasnt mad at him or soemthing like she seemed before. He was looking to see if she was standoffish at all. She seemed fine, happy even. Did he just imagine it before? Maybe he was just hoping she was jealous of Tea. He chuckled when he saw the picture. "I see you were very productive durring class." He joked and started walking with them out of the class room and in the direction of the gymnasium.

((haha what a weird pic! haha))

"I-I meant it in a cute way! Cause Joey is really cute!" Tea said and mentally gagged. She didnt like Joey like that at all. He was only a friend. But she thought if Atem got mad over sam and Joey maybe he would get jealous over her and Joey. She didnt get any reaction she was looking for, Atem still only focoused on Atem. She didnt want to look stupid for trying to flirt and failing so she turned to Yugi. "And Yugi's even cuter!"

Now as much as Yugi loved all of his friends he was craving to hang out with Akiko alone. Usually he didnt mind them all hanging out. And he knew they would all be together all day, but right now he just wanted to be with her, and have her attention on him. Luckily Akiko had mentioned that game so they could spend time together alone tonight. He would have to think of a way to make it special. Maybe he could do soemthing to show how he felt about her? He wasnt sure what he could do for that but he would at least just try to do soemthing nice fore her. He broke out of his thoughts when he heard the loud slam from the book. Yugi chuckled at his friend's behavior. He was so glad Akiko got to be friends with all of his friends. She fit in with their group perfectly. When they got to the locker rooms he heard Tea's comment about him being cute and he blushed. He was never compared nicely to anyone really. He smiled nervously. "Thanks Tea." He said and told them he would see them in a few minutes before following the other guys into the locker room.

Sam couldnt help but laugh loudly at how Akiko woke Joey up. She grabbed her bag, unaware her card was stolen. Sam walked between Joey and Atem to the gym and felt very awkward. She was between the boy who she had a chance with and liked and the one she loved and didnt have a chance with. She didnt know whether to continue flirting with Joey or to ignore him more and pay more attention to Atem. She did laugh at a lot of what Joey said but she couldnt help but walk closer to Atem. However as soon as they got to gym class both boys hurried into the locker room. She turned her attention to Akiko as they entered the girls locker room and began changing. "haha yeah the gym uniforms suck but at least we get to do what we want today! How about volleyball?" She suggested her favorate sport and then glanced at Tea with a smirk. She remembered competing a bit with her last time and spiking it right in her face! Sure Tea hadnt bothered her too much today but she usually gave Sam such a hard time. Sam had no idea why Tea hated her but Sam hated her too. She was always flirting with Atem! It drove Sam mad.

Soon Sam, Tea and Yugi were all outside of the locker rooms, waiting.


((yeah Im really tiered so im sure that sucked))

Sam felt her face heat up as Atem came over to her and complimented her ribbon. "T-thanks..." She said shyly. "My mother gave it to me." She said. She never really talked about her parents but Sam assumed they all knew they were dead because they had known Seto before her and knew they were adopted. She wasnt really paying any attention to the others she didnt even know they were out of the locker room, she just stared at Atem, smiling like an idiot. She turned to Joey when he asked her to be on his team and was about to answer yes when Atem answered differently for her. She blushed more and looked at him confused. It made her extreamly happy but she just didnt get why he said it. Her mind thought maybe he did like her too. He was always so nice to her. But maybe he was just naturally nice to his friends? She was so confused. She smiled at him but then looked at the teams and found there was soemthing very wrong! She didnt want to be on the same team as Tea! That practically took all the fun out of it! She pouted a little and glared at Tea, she knew she couldnt convince her to go to the other team.

Yugi talked with Tea until Akiko came out of the locker room. He grinned at her. He remembered at the beginning of the year he could never take his eyes off of her in those clothes, and now even though he was used to it, it was still a treat. As her and Joey joked around he just eyed her up. This was the last day he would see her in these clothes! and her cute school uniform too! He hadnt thought about that, how sad. "Volleyball?" He said less then enthusiastically. Ok compared to the other guys he sucked at sports! So he was really embarressed in front of Akiko but he learned to laugh it off. Still, it wasnt even a game he was decent at. "Sure!" He responded quickly when she asked if he wanted to be on her team. They all moved onto the court. The teams were actually pretty even so it should be a good game.

Tea was thrilled that she got to be on Atems team, however she was pissed Sam was there too! And he practically picked her! He hadnt said anything to her!

"I call the middle!" Sam said. She loved this sport and was pretty good at it, but more importantly she wanted to be between Atem and Tea!

"Wha- no fair!" Tea said angrilly.

Yugi got the ball and tried to serve. He may not be able to play well but at least he could serve. He hit the ball and it went over and in the middle, to Sam.

Sam got ready to hit the ball and Tea swept her foot around under Sam's ankle while everyone was watching the ball and made her fall and then the ball hit her on the head. Sam rubbed her head and growled, glaring at Tea.

Tea covered her mouth as she chuckled. "Sam you ok? Youre such a clutz." She said.

Sam stood up, blushing from anger and embarressment since Atem was right there. "Fine..." She muttered and rolled the ball back to Yugi.

Yugi hadnt seen what Tea did, he just saw Sam fall. He thought it really was just an accident so he just chuckled a little and served the ball again. This time it went to Tea.

Tea saw it commin and planned to spike it right at Akiko.

Sam smirked and jumped in the way, bumping tea out of the way with her hips hard and hitting the ball over the net with an "I got it!"
