Unexpected Love Chapter 1 ~Kaiba's Pov~
"Class we have a new student joining us today." Mr. Hansen announced to our 4th period English class. "Well come on in child. No need to be afraid. Please introduce yourself."
The Young girl entered the classroom and looked around. Her eyes landed on Yugi Moto in the first row. She took a step back toward the door before the teacher stopped her. The young girl's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. Mr. Hansen prompted her to begin. She visibly paled and swallowed hard.
"H-hello. My name is Katherine. I live with my foster-father Max Pegasus, the creator of D-Duel monsters." She looked around and her eyes settled on me, a smile forming. "I am sixteen and a senior." She looked at the teacher who dismissed her.
"Miss Pegasus please take a seat next to Mr. Kaiba. "She made a face. Katherine walked slowly down the aisle, looking every few steps back at Yugi. I moved my briefcase.
"Miss Pegasus, please take your seat." He pace quickened and she smiled at me again.
"Hello I'm Katherine. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said excitedly.
"Seto Kaiba." I replied not looking at her. She laughed
"Well Mr. Kaiba, You are quite rude." She laughed again. "When addressing in someone it is proper to say 'Hello' and make eye contact."
My head snapped in her direction and I glared at her which only severed to make her laugh harder.
I took in her appearance she was new so she hadn't gotten around to picking up her uniform. Instead she wore a crisp white button u blouse, with a purple tie. As for her lower half she was wearing a black pencil skirt and black stockings with a pair of 3 inch heels. Katherine looked as though she could work for Kaiba Corporations, as a secretary. My personal secretary even.
She was focused on Mr. Hansen as he droned on and on about compound sentences and proper punctuation. We learned the same thing yesterday. She was diligently taking notes, stopping every so often to chew on her pen.
'Kaiba stop staring.' I scolded myself. 'Why am I still watching this girl?' I thought looking ahead.
When the teacher went to writing on the chalkboard she pulled out a pair of glasses, which only served to make her already large violet eyes appear even larger. She brushed her long burgundy hair out of her eyes catching me staring. I looked away quickly, which only severed in making her laugh yet again. She went back to copying down the assignment.
Shortly before the bell rang she pulled her hair back to tie it up, revealing a number of bruises along her neck. It looked as though someone had tried to choke her. Taking a closer look I could tell she was wearing cover-up. Although the makeup didn't bother me what I noticed under it did. She was covering a black eye and a cut along the side of her face; it was hidden in her hair line.
The bell rang and she gathered up her things turning to me.
"Mr. Kaiba, will you do me the honor of joining me for lunch?" she asked timidly.
I nodded, throwing my stuff in my briefcase and walked with her to her locker. She pulled out everything shed need for the last for classes and her lunch.
"Thanks for walking with me." Katherine said as I lead her to the cafeteria.
"I-It's too loud in here." I shouted over the noise.
"Well its High School and lunch time. What did you expect?" She laughed.
I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the lunchroom. "I am NOT going back in there." I grumbled. "How about I take you to lunch." I offered.
Normally I wouldn't care about someone but she was new. I figured maybe I could make a friend. Everyone else hated me, not that I blamed them I was the schools coldest student.
"Okay." She smiled tangling her fingers with mine. I looked down surprised by the sensation. "Where are we going?"
I laughed at her eagerness. "Where ever you want I'm buying."
"Oh can we go to Arby's. Please. I haven't been there in oh so long." She begged
I laughed harder. "Sure let's go." I said leading her out of the school to my limo.
