Chapter 4 - LOOOOOOONG chapter?!

Nina lowered her head and sunk her fangs into Atems neck. He froze and gave a sharp gasp. His eyes flickered shut.
Nina hissed and dropped him.

Atem groaned and woke up. He and Yugi were sharing a room. They had bunk beds. He was on the top and Yugi was below, pulling on his shoes.
Atem! Time for school! Yemi called up the stairs. Yugi! Breakfast is ready!!!
Coming! Yugi replied.

Yugi? Atem croaked, What . . . happened?
Yemi made us share a room because she needs yours for her computers. We found you in the street, out cold. Youve been out for three days. Yemi was going to call a doctor, Yugi said.

Atem yawned and stretched. His throat felt dry, sore and rough and his voice was croaky.
He felt a little strange, like something was going to go wrong at school today. Something to do with science . . .

Hes immune to sunlight, Yemi said quietly.
Are you sure? a voice asked.
Yes, Tea,
Okay, but I hope youre right or hell die out there,

Atem grabbed his school bag and slung it over his shoulder. Yugi had already started down the road.
Yemi kissed him on the cheek. Have a good day, Woozuls! Arent you the cutest wittle kid?
Atem rolled his eyes. Im seventeen, he grunted.
Uh . . . right . . . eheh . . . Goodbye teenager! She corrected.

Pharaoh! Tea waved her hand.
Atem smiled and jogged over. He put his hands in his pockets.
They walked down the path together.

Um . . . Pharaoh? Are you okay with the whole . . . you know, she trailed off.
What are you talking about? he frowned.
Tea froze. He didnt know!
Tea? Atem stopped and turned to her.

I need to tell you something, she said.
Go ahead, he smiled.
Tea didnt know what to say. She lost the will to tell him when she stared into his eyes.
Y-You . . .
Yes?
Her eyes darted all over his face. She noticed the feint facial hair around his jaw and said the first thing that popped into her mind.

You need a shave! she blurted out.
Atems face dropped in disappointment. Oh . . . I . . . thought you . . . were going to ask . . .- I thought you liked guys with facial hair, he added quickly.

I do . . . Tea muttered. She figured out what he thought she was going to say and sighed. Sorry,
X : :| ~ |:: X

In Science, they were studying blood cells (Uh-Oh!) and to make matters worse, Andy cut his finger on the desk. Atem stared at the blood. He gaped as his fangs grew.

He snapped out of it when Tea clamped a hand over his mouth.
What are you doing? Mrs. Fret asked.
Atems going to be sick! I need to take him home miss! Tea said quickly.
Are you going to vomit, Atem?
Atem nodded quickly.

Go on then, Mrs. Fret nodded.
The pair hurried outside the classroom.
Atem broke free of Teas grip and ran past.
Where are you going? It was only a- she began.
No! Seriously! I really am going to be sick! Atem yelped.

He heaved and scrambled into the boys toilets, then burst into a cubicle.
Tea heard him vomit. Ew,
Atem stared at his reflection in the mirror. He noticed the fangs as they shrunk back to their original size.

He groaned and put his head in his hands.
Pharaoh? Are you okay? I tried to tell you, Tea called. I can walk home with you. Then, maybe we can spend some time at your place,
Atem came out to her and nodded.

He was Teas height now and they could accidentally gaze into each others eyes.
They took their bags and walked home.

Yemi was out.
Atem and Tea listened to some music and chatted for a while.
Atems eyes hung half shut and he was almost asleep while Tea played with his hair
She couldnt help but think how cute he looked like that.
You like that dont you? she said.

He gave a small nod.
Yemi said that your father used to do that to make you sleep when you were a baby . . . she smiled.
Atem nodded again.

Tea never thought she could ever relax him so much or see him like that.
