The day started off like any other. I got up in the morning, showered, ate, and went to school. I met up with Jess before we went to first period. Maths. God I hated maths. Not only was it boring, but I was terrible at it too. I walked into the class room at sat at my desk, with the empty chair next to me. The chair was always empty. My class had labelled Jess and I as “weirdos” just because we loved anime. Some of them bullied me sometimes. Once Mel, the “queen bee” took one of my fanfics and tore it up. It took me ages to write it and I was devastated. Now I just avoid her at all costs. By now the whole class had set up and the teacher was in the room. She started writing things up on the board but I wasn’t paying attention. I was doodling pictures of Bakura in my maths book. I got snapped from my day dream by the voice of Ms. Ternn in the door way. She walked in and someone walked in behind her. My mouth drooped open. The boy behind her looked exactly like Marik Ishtar. Ms. Turnn turned to the class to speak to us. “This” she said “is Mark Smith. He is new to the school and I hope you’ll make his stay a good one.” Mark. Mark is Marik without the “i”. I was still in a state of shock when his eyes met mine. I started blushing; I mean I was just staring at him like a dumbfounded fish! Ms. Turnn walked out and my maths teacher, Mr. Brandon, Told Mark to sit in the empty seat next to me. Me! I still didn’t know what to say.
