noticed that the two boys her friend had just pointed at were standing behind them.
"They won't let you in there! Domino South students are hated to be seen there!" said one of the two maliciously.
It was enough for Jelana now. She was angry and her initial shyness evaporated at an atypical rate for her. Why were they always judged immediately after their school?
"Shut up," she muttered.
"You know .. the tickets are already sold out anyway. But even that way it wouldn't be worth it."
Jelana was getting angrier.
Sayu knew that Jelana usually said things that she regretted later when she was on the move - as probably now, but she wasn't quick enough to stop her.Jelana had already jumped up and stood in front of the boy. That didn't look very dangerous, because at 1.57 she was much smaller than the colossus that stood there in front of her.
"Now hold your breath! I bet you the two of us can get in there even if the tickets are supposedly sold out!"
The boy laughed maliciously while Sayu tried to restrain her. Joey and Tristan found the whole thing quite amusing and Tea and Yugi watched the spectacle eagerly - as did all the other students who were sitting at the tables around them.
"If we can do that", Jelana began again, "then you have to promise that you will no longer reduce us to our school, but first see how we are really at it!".
The boy took the hand that the brown-haired girl had held out. "Good! If you can't do it, you will do the hall service for us, which we actually have to do next week AND we can pick on you as we want!" he said. With the handshake the matter was settled and the two boys walked past her.
"Oh yeah, we'll be there too, of course, and we'll check that out, so don't think you can cheat!" he said with a broad grin, then left the cafeteria.
"Stupid! If you are good, you don't have to cheat!" she called after him.
Sayu had meanwhile pulled her back onto the bench.
"What kind of action was that?" she asked.
Jelana probably only now registered what kind of agreement she had entered into.
"Um .. short circuit reaction." she said hoarsely.
She got questioning looks. Apparently only Joey and Sayu knew what she meant.
"Well, when I'm so in a rage I don't think about it. It's as if my brain was simply switched off and I would only act. Don't you know that?" she asked a little uncertain.
Immediately all eyes went to Joey. "But we know!" said Tristan, Tea and Yugi at the same time.
Joey didn't think that was funny: "What do you mean ?!"
Sayu and Jelana laughed. So they had chosen a nice group. That really seemed to fit.
But the problem with the bet was still not resolved. But it couldn't be that difficult to get in there. If she was not mistaken, Jelana had religion right away. You didn't have to be very careful anyway. Then she could speak to this Kaiba right away. Maybe it wasn't as bad as she'd seen it. At first she had had bad thoughts of Joey and the others. It couldn't be as terrible as they portrayed it, could it? ...


... but he could!
Jelana had to sit near him. Religious instruction did not take place in her classroom and there was only one free seat diagonally next to him. Your teacher was talking about rebirth or something. Jelana wasn't listening. What for? All bullshit!
Since she wasn't listening anyway, and neither was this Kaiba - what was his first name?- didn't look really interested, she leaned over to him.
"Sorry. Hi, I'm Jelana, but .. you know that. I heard about your tournament." she said softly and gave him her loveliest smile - even if it was only an act.
He turned his head lazily in her direction and glared at her in his blue eyes. Immediately she was intimidated by his beautiful and at the same time very scary eyes.
SHE was intimidated ?! That seldom happened.
"And? That should have got around by now. You don't switch very quickly!"
Ouch.
"Well, I'm not in this part of town that often and there ... well it doesn't matter. I just wanted to ask if you didn't have two tickets for my girlfriend and me. I would even have the money with me. I mean we could also stand. Don't need seats. "Jelana had leaned very far into the corridor and spoke just loud enough that he could hear her.
He grinned, but it was definitely not a nice gesture. She looked at him expectantly.
"Forget it. Those who come too late are unlucky!" he said in a tone that gave her unpleasant goose bumps up her back.
She was just about to continue working on him when his grin grew almost imperceptibly wider and nastier. Was he laughing at her? He didn't even look at her, just stared at the blackboard. The nonsense hadn't fucking interested him before either.
As she opened her mouth to continue begging, someone tapped her shoulder. That was too much. She only sat on the edge of her chair and since she was so frightened that suddenly the teacher was standing next to her and tapped her, she promptly tumbled to the floor.
Loud laughter could be heard.
That bastard. That's why he grinned so badly. That was clear to her now.
"Miss Ito. I don't know how your old teachers thought it was, but there is no talk in class here. Please put that into the breaks and get up immediately!"
That was exactly what Jelana had planned. Just sit down and pretend nothing has happened. With a red head she was finally back in her seat.
Where was the hole you could disappear into when you needed it?
The teacher didn't seem to mind the loud laughter and gossip in the background.
She shot Kaiba a few more angry looks, but he ignored her. Arrogant sack!
For the rest of the day, she was the number one topic of conversation ...
