Chapter 2

 

 

Joey walks over to his desk looking towards the ground slightly hoping his hair covers his cheek where his father slapped him this morning. He doesn't understand his fathers drunken rage, he thought that he had done everything his father told him too this morning and also thought that his father had gotten help for his alcoholic behavior, but apparently he hadn't. When he gets to his desk Yugi looks at him concerned seeing how Joey's been late to class almost every day that week. He tries to get Joey's attention before the teacher sees him. The teacher starts to talk so Yugi gives up his attempts to get Joey's attention.

 

Joey takes out his notebook, he looks up every so often to take a peak at what the teacher had written on the board. Joey's attention keeps turning back to that morning. He keeps hearing his father yell at him telling him he was useless, was a mistake, wouldn't amount to anything, and that he wasn't his son. Joey shakes his head slightly wondering when this school day would be over so he could just go hang out with his friends.

 

Seto looks up at the board not bothering to take notes. He knows he doesn't need them to help him. His mind keeps wandering back to that morning hearing his little brother gasp seeing the scars that run across his back. He still doesn't think Mokuba's ready to hear of all the things that Gozuburo put him through so he could protect his brother, but he knows that he must at sometime. He hears the sound of the end of first period bell ring. He picks up his stuff standing and walks swiftly out of the classroom. His long legs carry him to his locker. He enters his combo and grabs his books for the next hour class.

 

Joey stands up after the bell rings, he keeps his head loward. He looks up seeing feet in front of him. Yugi stands there with a worried expression on his face. "Hey Yug Wat's up?" He says. "Nothing much Joey. Is something going on at home again.. you've been late to class this whole week." He asks trying to be a helpful friend. "No Yug everythin's goin good at home." He says beginning to walk out of the room. He thinks to himself as he walks out of the room.

 

~*~Thoughts~*~

 

Yug's becomin' suspicious again. I know he's gonna find out sooner or lata, but he doesn't need ta know what's goin on in my home life. He has his own things ta worry bout, he doesn't have da time ta worry bout me. I just can't stop thinkin bout how my father hit me this mornin. Actually this whole week. He hasn't done that ta me in a few months. I thought dat i had been doin good with my chores and everythin. I guess dat i was wrong.

 

~*~End Thoughts~*~

 

Joey's not paying attention to where he's walking, cause he's so deep in his thoughts. He keeps his gaze towards the ground. He hits somebody's chest as he looks up to see who he hit. His eyes narrow slightly before he growls "Kaiba why dont ya watch were ya walk." Seto smirks and looks at Joey ready to say something smart back but notices that there are more than just that one bruise on his face. "Well mutt i was watching where I was walking. Would you like to tell me where you got that bruise from." He sees Joey flinch slightly before he feels a fist connect with the side of his face. "Dat is none of yer buisness damn Kaiba." He says walking to his locker and then towards his next class. Which as well happens to be with Seto.

 

Seto shakes his head slightly getting feeling back in his jaw. He says quietly "The mutt packs a punch when you get him upset. I guess I hit a soft spot." He smirks slightly thinking, I now know what to do to make the mutt mad, but he has been acting strange lately. He shrugs it off as nothing at the moment and begins walking to his next class. He walks into his next class rubbing his jaw slightly. Walking to his seat, which happens to be next to Joey, he sits down placing the brief case beside him. Seto sits there thinking about what he's going to say to Mokuba tonight. He says quietly "Maybe i should work late till he goes to bed then i dont have to explain anything."

 

Joey looks up slightly hearing Kaiba say something. He looks over at him seeing Kaiba's eyes downcast towards the desk. He notices that he doesn't even look up when the teacher walks in to start class. The teacher takes roll call going through everyones name. When he gets to Seto's, he doesn't even realize that the teacher is saying his name. Cause he's to busy in thought. The teacher keeps on repeating his name trying to gain his attention.

 

Seto looks up hearing a fist slam on his desk. He looks at the teacher, "Seto pay attention i know you think that you dont need what all of us are saying but you still need to pay attention." Seto replies saying, "Sorry sir I've had alot on my mind and i just spaced." He thinks 'Maybe Mokuba was right and I should have let him stay home today. Then maybe he could've convinced me to stay home as well.'

 

Mokuba sits in his class hurridly taking notes trying to keep up with what his teacher says. He's spaced so many times since this morning. He doesn't understand why Seto would keep something like this from him. He sighs starting to lose track to where he just was. The overhead projection moves up somemore and he realizes that he's really getting behind. He tries to get what happned this morning but nothing seems to be working. The teacher soon shuts off the overhead. Mokuba's eyes widen slightly as he looks down at his paper. He sighs quietly as he raises his hand and asks the teacher if he can borrow the paper so he can finish copying the last paragraph.

 

The day drags on for Joey, last hour finally arrives and he jumps up for joy in the middle of the hallway. Fortunately this is the only class he doesn't have with Seto. He smiles for once the whole day. Art, his favorite as well as his best class. He sits down at his seat Yugi sitting next to him. Yugi smiles seeing Joey in class. He says "Hey Joey what do you think the teacher's going to have us do today." Joey shrugs his shoulders and says "Hopefully whatever we feel like today. Cause I really don't feel like drawin somethin for an assignment." Yugi nods his head "Yeah that sounds good to me.

 

Joey looks around waiting for the teacher to start class. Seeing as to how this teacher is always late he asks Yug "Hey Yug what ya plannin on doin today afta school?" Yugi thinks for a minute, "Well Joey I never really thought about it why you wanna do something." Joey nods his head and thinks. 'Anythin ta get away from my father.' The teacher finally walks in and announces that today is a freehand drawing day. They may draw whatever they feel like but it is for a grade. Joey's smile widens hearing that. He walks over to grab a piece of paper to sketch his drawing. An idea suddenly hits Joey and he rapidly starts to draw. When the hour comes close to an end the teacher starts to walk around and sees Joey finishing to color his.

 

The teacher looks at Joey's drawing carefully and he notices that he is drawing a dragon with a fireball coming out of its mouth. The teacher looks somewhat confused having never seen Joey draw something like this before. The dragon has red eyes with black scales (AN: Anyone guess what dragon it is ^.^ couldn't resist) Yes it's the Red Eyes Black Dragon, and beside it there's another dragon with white lightining coming out of its mouth. This dragon has blue eyes with white scales that almost look blue. (AN: anyone guess this dragon.) Yes its the Blue Eyes White Dragon. The Blue eyes and Red eyes look like they are attacking each other. Which that is what Joey had meant for it to be.

 

Joey thought that it would be perfect for the two dragons which are pretty much like enimies to be drawn fighting. He drew and colored the picture perfectly. He smiles admiring his work and hears the bell ring. He stands and puts the things he used to color his picture away. He leaves his picture on the desk like the others did so the teacher could grade it. He walks out of class Yugi beside him. The two of them laughing. They already had their things with them so they wouldn't have to stop at their lockers. They just walk out of the school.

 

Joey suddenly stops looking up noticing his father waiting outside the door for him. Joey gulps noticbly and walks back into the school slowly feeling secure in there. Yugi looks at him curiously and says "Joey whats wrong," "Yug its my father wat's he doin out der." "I dont know Joey come on just tell your dad that we're going to go and hang out at the game shop." Joey nods his head and walks out of the school and up to his father, Yugi right beside him. Joey's father looks at his son smirking slightly raising his hand and grabbing his shirt and he growls audibly and says "Joseph Wheeler where have you been you were supposed to be home hours ago." Joey answers "I've been at school like i'm supposed ta be."

 

AN: Hm i'll leave it there for now tell me what ya think. What do you think will happen to Joey. What do you want to happen to Joey. Should Seto intervene or should his father abuse him in front of his friends. Well you tell me. Anyway here's the lyrics to Perfect World for you guys

 

I never could have seen this far

I never could have seen this coming

It seems like the worlds falling apart

Yeah

Why is everything so hard

I don't think that i can deal with the things you said

It just wont go away

 

Chorus

In a perfect world

this could never happen

In a perfect world

you'd still be here

and it makes no sense

I could just pick up the pieces

but to you

this means nothing, nothing at all

 

I used to think that i was strong

until the day it all went wrong

I think i need a miracle to make it through

Yeah

I'm wishing i could bring you back

I'm wishing i could turn back time

cause i cant let go i just cant find my way

Yeah

without you i just cant find my way

 

Chorus

In a perfect world

this could never happen

In a perfect world

you'd still be here

and it makes no sense

I could just pick up the pieces

but to you

this means nothing, nothing at all

 

I dont know what i should do know

I dont know where i should go

I'm still here waiting for you

I'm lost when you're not around

I need to hold on to you

I just can't let you go

Yeah yeah

 

Chorus

In a perfect world

this could never happen

In a perfect world

you'd still be here

and it makes no sense

I could just pick up the pieces

but to you

this means nothing, nothing at all

You feel nothing, nothing at all

 

Nothing at all
