-(Y/N)s P.O.V.-

I sighed softly as I hesitantly walked to my next class. Now that I think about it, I'm not going to be able to ignore those two. It's almost like they recognise me already... I'm going to end up approaching at least one of them, at one time, hopefully not at the same time. I groaned aloud. Students in the hall glance at me and I glare at them.

When I'm not paying attention, someone bumps into me. "Watch it!" I yell. "Oh, shit.." I mumble after seeing who had bumped into me.

"Watch where you're going..." he growled as he pushed me out of his way and continued to his class.

"And just who the hell do you think you are, you brat?!" I yelled after him. Some students gasped and quickly huddled around. The taller brunette glared at me.

"You know, you may look familiar, but I'll gladly fight you, kid," he said with a smirk.

I was shocked he remembered me, but I continued to argue with him. "Yeah right, you wouldn't hit me. But I wouldn't hesitate-" The tardy bell rang and the crowd around the two of us dispersed.

He smirked. "Whats your name?" he asked.

"What's in it for me if I say?" I growled.

He scoffed. "Fine, whatever. I'll find out who you are in my own way," he hissed.

I chuckled lightly, "It's (Y/N)." The attempt to hide the shock on his face told me he remembered. "What?" I growled.

He shook his head and continued off to his next class. I shrugged and walked into my classroom. The teacher glanced at me, and the students all stare at me. "You're late, Miss (L/N)."

"Yeah, yeah. I know," I mumbled as I sat in my desk. 'One down, one to go..'

..........

The school year had only just begun and I already hated it. 'Five more minutes..' I thought. The days have really been moving painfully slow. I tried to finish my homework. It didnt last long. I sighed dramatically and looked up. I glance around at the classroom and my gaze lands on Joey, who was sitting in the back of the class a few rows over from me. I get out of my desk, gather my things into my bag then walk over to him. He looked over at me and stared at me as I sat by him.

"Joey Wheeler, right?" I asked.

"(Y-Y/N)..?" he asked softly. "I-I can't believe I d-didn't recognize you sooner!" he jumped out of his desk and hugged me tightly. "Do you maybe wanna hang out with me after school?" he asked.

"Yeah! It would be a good way for us to catch up, too," I smiled and broke our hug. "Well, what do you plan on doing later then, Joey?"

"I was thinking maybe we could go to that café a few blocks away?" he suggested.

I nodded. "Sounds good!"

The bell rang for classes to end and Joey and I walk out of the room together. I notice Seto walk by and as he did, he glanced at me, then to Joey. I could tell he wasn't that ecstatic about the situation. I ignore his gaze and look to Joey and we begin to talk about the things we've done in the past few years.

Though it still got to me, the way they looked at one another, a glare obvious between them. What had happened when I was gone? Last I checked Seto and Joey didnt know about one another. Something had happened, and maybe I'd learn about it.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, I dont know.

As we get to our lockers, we talk and we get our things put away before we get what we need for the end of the school day, a certain brunette bumping past Joey on his way out, and a growl from my friend. Geez, maybe it was just Seto grew up to be a jerk. Hopefully not, he was kind of hot Wait a second, no! He was about to fight me!

But..

I was snapped out of my daydreaming by Joey, having his bag slung around one of his shoulders and a smile on his face as he pointed to the doors, his group seemingly waiting for him. I looked to him as he spoke, his goofy smile, making me smile.

"Well, let's head out! I wanna show ya my friends, I bet theyll all love ya!" He exclaimed.

Joey was cute when he was so excited, and as we left the school, it felt like a wave of freedom had hit me. School was fun and all with friends, but out of school was better. I walked up to Joey's friends with him, keeping pace, and waving.

"Hi there! I'm (Y/N), its a pleasure to meet ya!"
