Dear Diary,
Well, grade six isn’t any better, though it isn’t worse. It did seem pretty bad though, but that’s probably because I had a nightmare last night. I’ve been having them more frequently now, ever since I was attacked and put in the hospital, and then not having any friends here isn’t really helping.
I crawled in with Dad like I usually do and he held me until I could fall asleep again, which was nice. I know I’m eleven, but I really don’t like to be scared. It’s funny though because I don’t even remember the dream now.
Anyway, I went to sixth grade today and met Mr. Yuy, the teacher for the class I was put in. He was nice, though a little gruff, but I like him. He kind of reminds me of my father. I was placed at the back of the class and all the desks were double, so it was obvious I was sharing with someone. I just hoped it wasn’t someone mean, with my luck they were going to be just like Yami.
The bell rang and I waited quietly for the rest of the class to enter. Soon the door opened and everyone came in. They were so noisy! I recognized the blonde haired boy in the green jacket from the day before and the boy that looked exactly like Yami. Also the last girl that was at the table was with them too and to my slight horror they had the tables around mine, but luckily none of them sat beside me.
The blonde boy and the Yami-look-alike sat in front of me and the girl sat in the table beside them, furthest away from me. The two were talking about Duel Monsters and the blonde wanted to show the other boy the new cards he got. I sat and pretended to read my book until the bell rang, then Mr. Yuy did the attendance.
From that I learned that the Yami-look-alike was Yugi Motou, I’m guessing Yami’s little brother. The blonde boy was Joey Wheeler and the girl was Tea Gardner, my neighbor.
About fifteen minutes into class the door opened and that other boy from the day before stepped in, the Egyptian boy with the markings on his back, he bent over panting and the entire class laughed at him. He just stood up and smirked and then told the teacher this outrageous lie about why he was late. Mr. Yuy told him to save his creativity until writing class and then told him to sit down. He had called him Malik Ishtar, obviously Isis’ little brother. And he sat right beside me.
The first period was math and I was finished the assignment long before anyone else. I guess having no life and just studying was paying off. I read my book again, waiting until the end of the period. It was the book my father had given me for my birthday. I had read up to about chapter ten before the attack and then had started over again because I couldn’t remember a thing about it.
I had just turned the page to chapter eleven when the period ended and we had to move on to a different subject. English. Wow.
It wasn’t hard, I’ll put it that way. All we really had to do was fix the sentence structure of given sentences and place the right punctuation in the right places. I guess I have the advantage since it’s my first language but everyone there spoke English really well. I feel kind of stupid; we’re living in Japan and all I know how to say is ‘good morning’ and ‘good bye’.
Anyway, after English we had a free period. Yugi and Joey began to duel and Tea and Malik watched them. It was obvious that Yugi was more experienced than Joey by the way they talked and joked around with each other. I was again pretending to read because I couldn’t concentrate, then I heard their voices hush.
*
Malik was the first to say something. I think I remember the conversation, here:
Malik - Why’s he here? I thought he was in the class with my sister.
Yugi - Yami said that the teacher found out that he’s only eleven, so she sent him back to sixth grade.
Joey - (laughing) Yeah, Tristan told me about what happened in the class, I wish I could have been there. Apparently whatever he wrote to the teacher was hilarious.
Tea - That’s what Mai said.
Yugi - Yami says that he didn’t have any friends in England and that his mother’s dead.
Malik - Isis told me the same. Except she mentioned that he has been to Egypt.
Joey - Kaiba called him a fag. I mean, look at him, he does kinda…you know.
Malik - Joey, Kaiba calls everyone a fag. He calls us fags.
Joey - Yeah well, you at least dress the part.
Malik - If we weren’t in school I’d beat you with the Millennium Rod.
Joey - There you go with the pickup lines again. I don’t want to see your Rod.
*
Hearing ‘Millennium Rod’ had sparked my attention and I remembered the ring that I was wearing around my neck, wondering if it had anything to do with it. I also found out Yugi had something called the Millennium Puzzle and Isis had something called the Millennium Tauk. I think that’s how you spell it, I’ll have to check with Dad. He would probably know something about it.
Well, that was the events of the day. There was lunch too, but nothing much new happened then, or in the afternoon. All except that Yami never said a word today.
