Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Gabriel ❯ Chapter Four ( Chapter 4 )

Everything is the same as the last chapter so let's just get right to it.

 

Chapter 4

 

Why did I have to open my big mouth about school? I don't get it. Why am I so worried about what my parents think after what they pulled with me and Nick?

 

I mean I could have just hung around the house and neighborhood for three years if I wanted. Aunt Sam would have let me. But no of course not I had to open my big mouth about going to school and now I can't back out of it. So here I am sitting in my room about to pull on my uniform.

 

Aunt Sam comes to my door asking if I'm ready to go yet. I reply that I am not and throw on the clothes and my jewelry as fast as I can so I don't make her late for work.

 

We make the short drive to my school. I could have walked there, but Aunt Sam insisted that she drop me off on my first day to make sure that I know where I'm going when I have to walk home this afternoon.

 

“I gave you your house keys right?”

 

“Yes Aunt Sam you did. Stop worrying so much about me. I'm not in grammar school anymore.”

 

“I know that. I wasn't even insinuating that you were. I'm just worried about you.”

 

“I'll be fine Aunt Sam. You should go before you're late for work.”

 

“Your right Gabe. When you get home go ahead and make yourself a snack. Also, I have to work late tonight so I won't be home for dinner. I'm sure you can take care of that for yourself also. It's kinda sad that you can cook better then I can. Anyway, please make sure that you do all of your homework and if you go out call me to let me know. The number is by the phone I put it there this morning.”

 

“I get the picture Aunt Sam. I'll see you later on tonight then.” I give her a hug before getting out of the car.

 

Once she drives away I turn around and collide with someone.

 

“I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.”

 

“That's ok man no harm done. So, who was the hottie in the car?”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“The chick that drove you here, I was wondering who she was, is she like your girlfriend or something?”

 

“Um, no, actually that was my aunt.”

 

“She was? Oh, dude I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything disrespectful or anything. It's just she looks about 18 or so. So I thought that she was your girlfriend or something.”

 

“I get that more then you'd think. Don't worry about it.”

 

“So are you new to thins school then? I don't think I've seen you before. By the way I'm Joey.” He extends his hand and I grab it to shack his hand.

 

“I'm Gabriel. Yeah today is my first day.”

 

“It's nice to meet you. Hey do you want to meet my friends” I was just about to meet up with them.”

 

“Sure that would be cool.”

 

“Come on then man.” He leads me over to a group of people and I recognize star fish head from the pizza place.

 

Now that I think about it Joey looks like the blond fool. I guess star fish head is a child prodigy or something. I just realized that I am being very mean by calling him star fish head.

 

“Hey guys this is Gabriel. He just transferred in. Gabriel this is Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Ryou.”

 

They all say hi as he was calling there names. At least now I know that star fish head's name so that I can stop calling him that. Even in my head it's kinda rude of me.

 

Not knowing what to say to them I say, “Hi.”

 

They all start talking to each other about school and stuff and lacking anything real interesting to say I keep quiet and just listen to all of them talk.

 

I guess Yugi wanted to make sure that I felt welcome in the group because he says, “So Gabriel, where did you transfer in from?”

 

“From Chicago.”

 

“Really? That's in America right? What brought you all the way over here?”

 

“My parents found out something I was hiding from them and decided that I should live with my Aunt over here until I graduate.”

 

They all pretty much ask the same thing at the same time. That being, “What were you hiding from them?”

 

“I would rather not talk about it right now if that's ok with you.”

 

“That's ok you don't have to tell us. So how do you like it over here so far?”

 

“Well I haven't seen too much yet. But what I have seen has been ok I guess. It's different from Chicago, but that is not always a bad thing.”

 

“Well I hope you like it over here.”

 

“Thanks Yugi.”

 

“I think we should go in now guys, school is gonna start soon.”

 

“I believe you are right Tea. Gabriel, you need to go get your schedule correct?”

 

“That's right, I do. Thank you for reminding me Ryou I completely forgot about it.”

 

“No problem. Would you like for me to show you where the office is?”

 

“That would be a big help, thank you.”

 

“Don't worry about it. It's over this way. I'll see you guys in class.”

 

They all yell after us as we are walking away, “Bye you two!”

 

I wave to them and say, “Bye! It was nice meeting all of you.”

 

Ryou and I walk for a few moments in silence.

 

I think we are both waiting for the other to start a conversation first.

 

“Here this is the main office. Would you like me to wait for you so I can point you towards your class, or do you think you can find it on your own?”

 

“It would be a big help if you stay. I'm sure I could be looking all day and not find my class.”

 

“Alright. I'll be right here.”

 

I go in and ask them for my schedule. When I come out I show it to Ryou so that he can point me in the right direction.

 

“It seems that you are in the same class as me and the rest of the gang.”

 

“I am?”

 

“Yes you are. Let's go before we are late.”

 

“Lead the way.”

 

Again we walk in silence. At least it's not one of those uncomfortable silences when the two people don't really like each other and are just waiting for a chance to get away from the other person.

 

This silence is more like the comfortable ones you have with friends or something when nothing needs to be said.

 

We walk into the class and he leaves me by the door to go to his seat. I take a look around and I'm shocked by who I see sitting in the back of the class by the window.

 

How the hell is he in my class? It's bad enough that if I ever go to visit Aunt Sam he will be there without having to see him everyday at school.

 

I guess I got my wish to see him again. But now I don't know how I'm going to handle this.

 

The teachers voice cuts into my thoughts, “Class, today have a new student who comes here from America. Would you please introduce yourself and take a seat next to Kaiba in the back of the class.”

 

I move from my position at the door to address the whole class. “Uh, hey. My name is Gabriel and I just moved over here from Chicago IL. I don't know what else to say about me so I'll um sit down now.”

 

I hate talking in front of others, I always get so nerves. At least I don't trip and fall on my face on my way to my seat.

 

I sit down and Kaiba looks at me briefly before looking away.

 

This is going to be total hell if I have to sit next to him everyday.

 

That's the last time I ever wish for anything. I got way more then I really wanted.

 

All I wanted was to look at him once more and now look at what I have.

 

The rest of the day was pretty boring. I did sit with everyone at lunch and then meet up with them after school.

 

They are a nice bunch of people. I was wrong about Yugi. It seems he is the same age as everyone else, he is just short.

 

It's a good thing I never told him what I thought I would feel very embarrassed then.

 

Right now we are all standing around outside talking about how the day went. Again I am at a lose for words so I stay silent.

 

This time it's Joey who includes me by saying, “Yo Gabe, would you like to come with us to the arcade?”

 

“Sure. I have to go home first and call my aunt. It should only take a few minutes.”

 

“Cool let's go then.”
