Chapter Four: School Pressure

 

Three weeks after her accident Joey was able to go back to school. Her arm was out of the cast but her leg was still in the cast. She was wrapping her chest up to make it look like a man's when she herd a knock on the door.

“Yes?” She answered after pulling her school shirt on quickly.

“Its Pegasus can I come in?” asked Pegasus from the other side of the door.

“Yes,” said Joey while putting her jacket on. Pegasus walked into Joey's room and saw her sitting on the bed.

“Ready?” asked Pegasus. “

You know it, Silver,” said Joey while grabbing her crutches and standing up.

“Want me to drive you close to school or to school?” asked Pegasus.

“Close to school, I don't want anyway to see you just yet,” said Joey, “But if you want you can pick me up.” Pegasus smiled slightly at that and nodded his head before the two walked down to the car.

“Think you can manage?” Joked Pegasus when he looked at Joey as he dropped her off a block from the school.

“Very funny, Silver, you know I can,” said Joey and she stepped out of the car. She closed the door and looked at Pegasus saying, “Cya after school.” Pegasus nodded before driving off, leaving Joey on the side walk, her bag on her back while standing with the crutches. She started slowly walking to the school.

“Joey what happened to you!” She herd someone behind her yell as she reached the front doors. Joey looked over her shoulder and saw all of her friends behind her. Yugi and Ryo had a worried look on their face, Tristan and Tea had an irritated look, Tristan's from her walking on crutches, while Yami and Bakura seemed to have a look as though they knew what had happened to her.

“I just had a bad fall and broke my ankle and lower leg,” Joey told the six as they walked up to her.

They looked at her before nodding their heads, Yami and Bakura not believing a word of what she said but didn't say anything. They all slowly walked into their first class and the whole class looked at Joey.

“What are you lookin at, never see a person in a cast before!” Joey yelled when she got irritated from all the stares.

“Mr. Wheeler keep your voice down,” said the teacher, “And might I say it's glad to have you back but please take your seat.” Joey nodded her head and sat down carefully. Everyone looked at Joey from time to time making her anger rise but she kept it silent. Joey was grateful when the bell rang signaling the start of lunch. Joey looked up when she saw someone grab her bag and saw it was Tristan.

“Tris I can get it myself,” said Joey.

“I know but let's get going everyone is out in our usual spot,” said Tristan.

The two arrived to see everyone setting out their lunch as well as Yugi arguing with Yami. The two sat down and listen to the two argue about something Joey couldn't make out until.

“If you hadn't tempted me we wouldn't have been up so late.” Yami told him. Yugi blushed ten shades of red and looked away while everyone else laughed.

“Remember the agreement Yami, keep what happens in the bedroom away from school,” said Ryo. Yami laughed but nodded his head as Joey and Tristan got out their lunch. “Um Joey Tristan told us about your dad,” said Tea, “We were all wondering where you have been staying the last three weeks.”

“With my guardian I've been getting phone calls from Serenity for almost a week now begging me to live with them but I told her I was going to finish school here,” Joey coughed alittle on her drink just before she said this thought.

“Hey Mutt,” a voice from behind Joey called. Joey growled under her breath while turning to see Kaiba not to far from them.

“What!” snapped Joey.

“So how did your father die?” asked Kaiba, “Because I have a hunch you know the real reason.”

“Well I honestly don't know how the bastard died, but I don't care he is dead ether,” said Joey calmly. Kaiba looked at him with a blank face before going to walk off. Sadly someone had left a rather large and heavy piece of metal in the ground which Kaiba's foot got caught on causing him to fall, right onto Joey's chest. Kaiba was surprised when he felt bandages on Joey's chest as well as the `his' chest being rather soft. Joey on the other hand stiffened up before using her right arm and punching Kaiba in the face.

“You…..,” Joey growled at Kaiba while trying to make her voice deep as well as resisting the urge to call Kaiba a pervert. Kaiba stumbled alittle and felt like hitting Joey until he remembered he had once promised Mokuba he wouldn't strike anyone in a casts….at least that's what he was telling himself.

Kaiba glared at Joey before he turned and walked away from the small group. Joey was seething in anger as he left, all her friends alittle surprised at how Joey acted.

“Joey are you ok?” asked Ryo. Joey nodded her head slightly, before going back to her lunch.

“Ya Joey the way you acted someone might think you were a girl that just had her chest grabbed.” Tristan snicker with a smile on his face. Joey's eyes widened slightly before throwing a part of her sandwich at him.

“Very funny Tristan, what next going to say Yami is straight?” Joey retorted. Everyone laughed at that and the rest of the lunch period was uneventful, besides Bakura groping Ryo just as the bell rang. Ryo was bright red as the group walked into their last class of the day, Bakura having a smug look on his face though.

As the last bell rang Joey had a slight smile on her face because she knew when Pegasus came to pick her up the others would flip. They walked out to the front of the school just as a blue limo pulled up and honked the horn.

*The blue one, oh well could be worse could have brought the one with cartoons on it,* Joey thought while rolling her eyes. She then smiled and waved her hand to let the driver, Kaito, know she was read. Tea, Yami, Yugi, Ryo, Bakura, and Tristan were all surprised when the door opens as Joey walked up.

“Hey Silver why did you bring the blue limo and not your car?” asked Joey to the man behind the door. Yugi, Ryo, Yami, Tea, and Bakura were surprised when they saw the person was Pegasus and that Joey was about to get into the limo.

“Joey what is going on?” asked Tea.

“Come in and I'll tell you, before you ask yes it is safe Pegasus won't do anything to you guys while I'm in here, unless he wants a crutch in his face.” Joey said while looking at her.

“Now Joey that is harsh,” said Pegasus as everyone got into the limo.

“I guess you guys want to know everything don't you?” Joey asked with a sigh. Everyone nodded besides Tristan since he already knew what Joey was going to tell the. But both he and Pegasus knew that Joey would tell them everything besides the fact that she was a girl.
