Betrayal and Recovery - [ON HOLD]

New Beginnings

Yugi's POV

I wake up early in the morning to hear a strange sound. I look up and see my Grandpa trying to get me up.

"Grand...pa? What are you doing....*yawn*....so early in the morning?"

"Yugi! Get up! School will start in an hour! I let you skip the first day of school because you were jet lag, but today, there are no more excuses!"

"In a hour??!! Why didn't you wake me up sooner?!"

"Because you wouldn't wake up no matter what I tried!"

"Oh. Anyway, get out! I need to change!"

Twenty minutes later, I threw on my clothes, stuck a piece of toast with jam in my mouth and rushed out the door.

"Bye, Grandpa!"

"Bye, Yugi! Be safe!"

I hope I will be safe. I think grimly.

I made it to the main office to get my schedule with five minutes to spare.

"Here's your schedule and your first class is math. Go straight down the hall and make a right at the ends of the hall. The first door to your left should be your classroom. Sorry go the confusion earlier. I just informed the teachers about that. Have fun!" said the principal.

I thanked him and went to my classroom. By the way, I'm fluent in English, Arabic and Japanese, so I understand what the principal is saying. He at first mistook me for the pharaoh since I look a bit like him, but after I explained myself, he calmed down and told the teachers about my similarity. Anyway I knock on the door and go into the classroom a minute before the bell rings.

"Let's begin cla— oh, you must be the new student." said the teacher as she turned to me. "I've been informed of the mistake the principal made. Don't worry, you're too cute to look like our Pharaoh." She said as she winked at me.

I blushed at the comment.

"Awwwww!!!" cried the female students. "He's so cute!"

Some of the boys also nodded their heads in agreement.

"Settle down, class. Now then, would you like to introduce yourself. I'm Ms. Ishtar."

I nod in acknowledgement. "U-Umm, I'm Yugi. I just transferred here from Japan. I-It's nice to meet you all!" I said as I bowed and blushed a little.

I swear all the girls fangirled over me while some of the boys were giving me strange looks.

"Yugi?" called a familiar voice.

I look over and see a head of white hair. "Ryou?"

"Oh wow, it really is you! Yugi, it's been a while. What are you doing here?"

"I transferred here because.....of my fri— my Grandpa. What are you doing here?"

"I go to this school, silly."

"Oh, Yugi, it seems you're quite familiar with Ryou. Why don't you sit next to him?" The teacher said.

I walk over to the empty desk behind Ryou and it's a window seat. Ryou turns around and mouths 'we'll talk at lunch'. I nod as class goes by slowly. Around an eternity and two more classes later, the lunch bell rings and everyone gets up to go get food.

"Yugi, let's go to the rooftop. I want you to meet my friends. You have your own lunch, right? "

"Yeah."

Ryou then pulls my hand as we run to the rooftop. Once we get there, I come face to face with another Ryou who looks at me with what I think is jealousy. He comes between Ryou and I and separates our hands. He then wraps his arm around Ryou's waist and says, "Mine", while glaring daggers at me. Ryou just blushes and looks at me in apology.
