Chapter :
It was another regular day for Yugi and the gang at Domino City University, where everyone including Seto attended.
As Serenity clumsily tripped over her long tie dyed denim jeans, her various text books were spewed over the dirty tile floor in front of her. Of course it also didn't help that she was wearing a long blood red t-shirt that had hung down to her knees and sneakers that were covered in glittered and were baby blue. She also wore her hair in a long braid with purple and blue ribbons running through it.
'Look everyone the geek is having another flawless moment.' said Tea Gardner as Yugi was on her other side, just looking at Serenity with pity.
Serenity only stared at her smiling as she was about to bend over to retrieve the rest of her text books, when Tea kicked them to the other side of the room.
'Come on Tea let's go, we're going to be late for class.' Yugi said silently as they left although Tea was still laughing at her. And as they reached the corner, they noticed that Seto was walking silently towards his next class.
He of course was known as one of the gothic teens that roamed the school. He was wearing a long tight black tee shirt under a long black trench coat, and had short black hair. They just gave him a dirty look and walked away from him quickly.
Seto just ignored them and continued to head towards the art room, the only class where he didn't hook. As he walked into the room, he headed towards his desk and started to draw in his sketch book.
He had already drew numerous sketches of how he saw the world, in fire and empty pools of swirling blackness. Though there were a few sketches of dragons and buildings caught on fire. No one had never seen the drawings that he had hidden, of a blue cavern of ice surrounded by baby blue dragons.
This was the only class that Seto and Serenity shared together though they never knew it because they never knew about one another being in that class.
'Now class, I have an assignment for you all.' the art teacher Mrs. Angela had explained to them all.
'I would like you all to pick a name out a hat and whomever you pick will be your partner for the next project. And whoever you pick, you're stuck with, therefore you cannot switch or work on this alone.' she explained as she wrote everyone's name on a piece of paper and placed it in a plastic hat.
As Seto stepped up from his seat, he reached in to a grab a piece of paper folded in half. When he returned to his seat and unfolded it and read the name, shocked at what it had said…
Serenity hesitated as she clumsily stepped up to receive the folded up piece of paper, when she read the name, she was confused for it had said that her and Seto had been assigned partners.
She stared at him, though he only gave her a cold stare as she than walked over to him.
'So I guess this means that we're partners.' she said softly as she sat down next to him as the teacher went over the details for the project.
'Now that you've all been assigned partners I'll explain the project that will be due in one month from tomorrow. The project will be a mural of how we see the world and how it effects us mentally and physically.' she explained.
The class groaned and complained as they went to sit next to their partners.
'Now the first part of your project should be for you to get to know one another, that way the project will run more smoothly and there won't be any conflicts.' the art teacher had explained as the class started to talk in their groups excitedly.
Serenity stared at Seto, not knowing what to say to him, though he only stared past her in boredom up towards the plain white plastered wall.
'Maybe you can come over my house, that way we could try to figure out what to do first.' she explained excitedly.
But Seto just nodded as he stood up before the bell was about to ring.
'You could meet me by the lobby after school.' she said excitedly as he just stared at her as he left the classroom.
'What did I just get myself into?' Seto thought miserably and angrily to himself as he headed outside, hooking his math class as usual…
'I hope I made the right decision. What if he stands me up? I shouldn't of said anything at all.' Serenity thought to herself sadly as she was headed towards her physics class, which Tea was in as well.
As she tried to go to seat quietly without causing yet another scene Tea headed towards her.
'What do you want now Tea?' she asked quietly hoping that she'd just go away.
'Don't get smart with me bitch, I just wanted to let you know that Tristan told us what had happened in your art class.' she started to explain.
'And? What's your point?' Serenity asked confused.
'I just wanted to let you know that I feel sorry for you, since you have to work with some freak.' Tea said as she started laughing.
'What would you know, just because he doesn't dress and act the same as everyone else, doesn't mean that he's a freak.' Serenity explained starting to get pissed off.
'Than I hope that you enjoy working with him, since you two would make a perfect couple. Since you know that no one would want anything to do with either one of you.' she said laughing, as she was about to walk back to her seat, when Serenity had surprisingly punched her in the stomach.
'What the hell!' Tea yelled as she pushed her hard against the thick marble table. Tea was about to hit her back when Yugi had stepped between them.
'Come on Tea, it's not worth it.' he said quietly as he pulled her in the back towards her seat, as she gave Serenity a dirty look.
'Fine, but this isn't over dork.' Tea snapped angrily, as she allowed Yugi to drag her back to seat.
'I know that what I did was wrong, but she deserved it. She had no reason to say what she'd said.' Serenity thought angrily to herself as she started to take notes during the professors lecture…
Seto was about to get in his car and drive home, when he heard a loud bell ring, signaling the end of the day for most students. He hesitated about meeting the mysterious girl from his art class.
'What do I have to lose, I need to pass this class if I want to get the money to start my own company.' he thought to himself as he headed back into the large building…
Serenity was sitting her back to the large fountain outside the lobby, thinking that he wasn't coming, she stood up and started to walk towards her house, when she noticed that Seto was walking towards her, causing her to smile happily.
'Hi, I didn't think that you were coming.' Serenity said happily as she walked with him towards his car.
'Let's just get this over with.' he said silently, as they drove in silence towards Serenity's small place that she was sharing with her older brother Joey…
As they arrive at Serenity's house, Seto noticed that the house was in dark colors and that there was two bedrooms.
'I guess you can tell that I live with my brother Joey.' she explained as she led him to the large kitchen area.
'Where is he now?' he asked silently.
'I don't know, somewhere else besides here He's never home, except occasionally to sleep and eat everything in sight.' she replied sadly.
'So… look you're going to have to help me on this, it's a group project, meaning that you're going to have to help me with it.' Serenity said softly.
'Fine, whatever you want to do is fine by mean.' he said quietly.
'Really? Even if it's a darkened sky surrounded by the goddesses of fire, earth, water, air, light, and dark.' she explained smiling.
'Whatever, I really don't care.' he said silently.
'Why won't you just give me one idea? I promise I won't make fun of you, if you couldn't tell I'm not like everyone else.' she said softly starting to give up.
'Fine, maybe we could do a darkened world surrounded in ice.' he said softly.
'Finally, see that wasn't so hard was it? And that sounds like a great idea. Why don't you start sketching some ideas and come back over here tomorrow. Than we can start on which ones to use.' she said smiling as she led him towards the front door.
When Seto was walking outside towards his car, he didn't notice that Joey had pulled up in his beat up red and gray jeep wrangler.
When Joey had noticed that Seto was leaving the house, he only gave him a cold dirty look.
As Seto had headed off towards his place, Joey had walked inside the house giving Serenity a bewildered look.
'What's wrong?' she asked him confused.
'What's wrong, what was he doing here?' he snapped angrily.
'We have to do an art project and I thought that it would be better if we met up here. Besides what do you care, you're never even here?' she snapped angrily.
'What do ya mean? I'm here all the time.' he replied confused.
'Yeah and you're always asleep or eating.' she snapped in frustration.
'That's not the point, the point is that I worry about you and I don't think that it's a good idea for you two to hang out together while I'm not here.' he explained quietly.
'It doesn't matter because like I said its as though you're never here and I know that you don't give a damn about me.' she snapped angrily as she ran upstairs to her room, slamming the door.
He walked up the steps and opened her door angrily. 'How dare you say that? Oh course I care about you, why else am I still here making sure that you're safe and alright? Plus I didn't say that we were finished talking.' he asked angrily.
'No but I did, so if you'll excuse me I think you should leave. Besides if I'm such a burden to you than why don't you just leave? I manage things on my own.' she snapped angrily, trying to push Joey out of her room.
'You don't mean that, you're just upset right now, but I'll leave you be for now. If you need me I'll be downstairs.' he said sadly as he left her room quietly. And as the tears that she'd been trying so hard to keep in had spilled down her face in waves of hot streams…
Seto had came home and was in his office thinking about the project and of his partner Serenity. 'She was so nice to me, maybe I should at least give her a chance. Than again if I do that than people will try to start talking to me, and I might have to start opening up to people.' he thought to himself as he took out his sketch book and had started to draw in it.
'I don't want that to happen, though I know that I can't work on this by myself.' he thought in angrily as someone had knocked on his door.
'What is it?' he asked in annoyance as his butler had approached his door.
'I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but there's a Mr. Wheeler on the phone for you.' he explained quietly avoiding Seto's gaze.
'Very well.' Seto said as the butler bowed and had left leaving him in private.
'I wonder how the hell he got this number?' Seto thought angrily to himself as he picked up the phone.
'Hello?' Seto said impatiently.
'I saw ya leaving my house earlier, and I want ya to stay away from my sister.' Joey warned angrily.
'Listen mutt, I don't know how you got this number, but I have no intentions with your sister other than getting this stupid art project done.' Seto said angrily as he hanged up Joey.
'That went well.' Joey said to himself thinking that Serenity was still in her room.
'Why did you call Seto? Are you that protective of me?' Serenity asked surprisingly.
'Um… how long have ya been standing there sis?' Joey asked nervously.
'Long enough, look Joey I don't know why you called Seto, but don't worry we're just friends okay, so just leave it at that.' she said softly, obviously not mad at him.
'Um… okay sure thing sis.' he stuttered not meeting her intense sparkling green eyes.
'Good, well I just came down here to say good night.' she said smiling as she headed back towards her room.
'I'm glad she didn't hear anything else or she might be even more mad at me than she was earlier. And I don't think I could handle that.' Joey thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep…
'If only he knew that I had lied. Though I couldn't bear to tell him the truth, that I had heard everything. I still can't believe that he had the nerve to do that to me. Didn't he trust me, I guess not.' Serenity thought angrily to herself as she eventually drifted off to sleep…
'I can't believe that pathetic mutt actually called me, I still wonder how he got the number, oh well. I still can't believe that mutt called here thinking that there was anything going on between me and his sister.' Seto thought angrily to himself as he continued drawing in his sketchbook.
