"Hi my name is Marik Takara," the Malik look alike said holding out his slender hand, "I've heard so much about you from Bakura."

Ryou looked at Bakura and smiled and he too extended his arm, "pleased to meet you."

"Let's sit down." Bakura suggested. All three took a seat.

"You don't happen to know my roommate, Malik do you?" Marik asked quizzically, "he told me you are in his choir class." Ryou blushed at the fact that Malik had mentioned him. Did that mean something? Bakura smiled at Ryou; after all it was his doing that he was in choir in the first place. "I'm glad Malik is making friends, he just moved here from Egypt."

Ryou stood up;" well I have got to get going." He spurted out.

Dressed in a pair of tight black pants, and a lilac hoodie, Malik swayed gracefully to the music. The words blasted from the CD player. It was a tune that Malik was fond of, one he almost found he could relate to. He was glad Marik wasn't here, Malik had always been very secretive, and having a roommate didn't help. Malik would of preferred to have a single room, but there was none available.

So he was stuck in this room for now with a roommate he disliked.

"Hey Malik nice dancing" came Marik's voice from the entrance. Marik walked into the room, infuriated that his roommate had impeded on his personal time, turned off the music, and went into his room, slamming his door to show how mad he was. Malik slipped off his dancing outfit, and slipped on a pair of khakis, and a powder blue button down shirt, that he left untucked, along with two gold bracelets on each arm. Before Malik left for his destination, he looked himself over in the mirror. Malik had moved here a week ago, and was just getting used to the area. Malik really missed his sister, Isis, and his parents. He hadn't thought he would be missing them, he had been ecstatic to leave home, but now he missed his family more then ever. Malik really wasn't that great in school, Isis was the brain of the family. Malik had this belief, that every family if having two children, one was the smart one, and the other was the kind of popular one with lower grades. The only good thing Malik considered himself great in was singing.

After another quick look at the mirror, Malik took off, he didn't know where he was going, but he had to go somewhere.

Ryou worked part time at the nearby coffeehouse. It was a part time position, and it worked with his school schedule, so Ryou was glad. The uniform consisted of black tight pants, a white button up shirt, an apron over the shirt with the words 'We make Coffee just the way you like it, and due to the regulations Ryou had to tie his long hair into a ponytail.

There were very few customers. The other waiter working the shift with Ryou, Duke Devilin, had served most of them. Duke didn't go to Primrose academy, he went to a public high school. "So how is it going?" Duke asked as he finished serving a couple their lattes. He plopped down on the chair beside Ryou.

"Good the next semester is going great." The bell on top of the bell jingled, and in walked Ryou's classmate, Malik. Ryou quickly grabbed a menu, and directed Malik to a table by the window.

As Malik sat down, Ryou handed him the menu, "can I get you anything right now. Our special today is a garden salad served with your choice of beverage for only five ninety-nine." Ryou took out a pad of paper and pen.

"I'll have the special, thousand island, and a herbal tea." Malik handed back the menu. After gathering all the items onto a tray, Ryou brought all the items back to the table. AS he set it down Ryou asked, "is there anything else I can get you."

Malik tasted the salad, and shook his head. After swallowing he responded. "Everything is prefect."

Ryou went over to the kitchen part, to wash some of the dirty cups. Ryou filled the sink with warm water, and soap. Duke came up behind him, nearly scaring Ryou, "cute guy." He motioned to the oblivious Malik who was enjoying his meal.

"I guess." Ryou replied in a monotone voice, that he knew Duke would pick up on. It meant he was trying to lie, and Ryou couldn't lie if his life depended on it.

Thankfully Duke did not pick up on what Ryou was hinting at, he picked up a cloth and began to dry the dishes that were handed to him. "Come on Ryou, he is like a sex god."

Ryou placed a cup roughly into the sink, nearly chipping the fragile cup. Ryou turned to Duke. "Could you please stop it, he goes to my school."

"You will be partnered up in pairs," he gave Malik a stern look, he had walked in late again, "that I will choose." This was said in an ominous tone. Earlier today the new kids were sorted into their proper categories. The tenors were Yugi, Malik, and Ryou. The bass section was one person, Seto. Last but not least was the baritone section, which include the duo of Yami and Joey.

"When I call your name, you will come up here, and pick up a song. These are easy songs that can be adapted to any voice range."

Mr. Cooke consulted a paper, and read the first pair, "Yugi and Seto." Both walked off the risers, and walked over to the papers. Seto let Yugi pick a paper, and after they found out what song they were doing, they were animatingly talking the about the many ways they could go about the song.

"Joey and Yami."

That left Ryou and Malik.
