The Boy at The Back Of Class || Puzzleshipping ||

Chapter 2 - Rescued

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait but hopefully this is worth it! Enjoy! P.S I DO NOT CLAIM YUGIOH IN ANYWAY, ALL CREDIT GOES TOWARDS KONAMI!

Atem had always been the popular boy in school, so it's no wonder he had a bunch of new friends. Joey, one of Atem's old friends, called out to him.
"Hey! Atem!" Joey exclaimed. Atem turned his head to see who it was. Atem was surprised.

"Hey Joey, what's up?" Atem asked calmly. Joey pushed through the crowd to meet his friend.

"Long time no see! I haven't seen you in awhile." Joey mentioned. Atem nodded his head and smiled.

"So where have you been? You haven't been at Millennium Academy since Eighth Grade!" Atem questioned. Joey looked down.

"Well uh... my parents got divorced, and they weren't able to keep paying for the school, so..." Joey sighed, avoiding eye contact.

"Oh. Sorry to hear that man..." Atem frowned, looking at the blonde boy.

"Yeah, sorry for bringing it up." Joey chuckled.

"Oh it's no problem Joey." Atem shook it off, like no big deal. Joey smiled.

"Anyways, who were you talking to? I was walking by your classroom, and I was going to say hi, but you were talking to somebody. " Joey raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, you don't know-" Atem was cut off, realizing he didn't even ask his name yet.

"Nevermind." Atem answered. Joey nodded his head but looked dazed.

"Uh-huh... so, in a few weeks, do you wanna come over to my dorm? We're having a big party." Joey inquired excitedly.

"Nah... Téa is probably gonna be there. That chick won't stop following me around. It's like she's a magnet or something. Even when I transfer to a different school. Really pisses me off." Atem groaned. Joey was surprised and laughed.

"Really? I thought you liked hanging around all the ladies! Most guys would do anything to be you, you know. Half the girls our age would sell a kidney to date you!" Joey teased. Atem grumbled, finding the joke not so funny.

'I like guys.' He thought.

"Yeah. Hilarious." Atem sarcastically said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh come on, I'm just playin'!" Joey chuckled, as he playfully punched Atem.

"Yeah... anyways, I have to go." Atem mumbled over the crowd of loud talking and disappeared before Joey could even open his mouth. Atem sped through the crowd to go to Science class, hoping the day would end soon.

When Atem got there, almost all the girls whipped their heads around and stared at Atem like he was a million bucks. All of them started to twirl their hair and act 'cute' to impress him. Atem groaned to himself.

~After School~
Yugi walked out of his last class, English. He sighed, glad the day was finally over. He started to walk down the halls with his books in his hands to head to his locker. When suddenly, a figure bumped into him. He didn't look up, because he already knew who it was.

Ushio.

Yugi squeezed his eyes shut hoping Ushio didn't see him, but he did.

"Hey, punk! Don't try to hide from me! You still gotta meet me at the back of the school today!" Ushio laughed in a intimidating voice.

"I, uh..." Yugi gulped. Ushio grabbed him by the neck collar. But no one could see him since they were in a sea of people.

"Don't forget, or else." Ushio growled with his breath smelling like garbage. Yugi nodded frantically. Ushio finally let go and headed the other direction. Yugi took a deep breath and sighed again. Taking breaths helped calm Yugi sometimes, even without his medication.
