Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
My time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
~ Simple Plan, Perfect
"Ouch! Red get off of my bed I'm trying to sleep!" I yell at my twin brother,Red as he jumped onto my bed waking me up with a start.
Well his real name's Kai but due his startlingly red hair he had adopted the nickname Red when he was very young and it had simply stuck.
"Come on Rhys it's half seven already, Dad says get up or you will be late for work again. You know if you don't start turning up on time Dad's gonna fire you even if you are his daughter." Red told me as I pushed him off the end of my bed.
"Good, I hate it there. Believe it or not running errands for Dad all day isn't fun. You've got it easy just because your the boy with all the special skills and now he's got you into all those duel tournaments, you don't even have to be up this early, you could still be asleep." I spat jealously, stretching and getting up groggily.
"Just because I'm a good duellist and you can't win a duel to save your life."
"FYI I could be a good duellist I just think it is very over rated and dull. Now get out of my room I need to get ready for work." I snapped ordering him out. But I knew he was telling the truth really, I wasn't a good duellist never had been never would be and because of it in our Dad's eyes I was always second best.
"See ya later then Sis." Red grinned running out of my room his mane of bright red hair whipping round the edge of the door. I just wish I knew where he got all his energy from
I went over to my mirror yawning, and I quickly grabbed a brush as I saw how awful my bed hair was this morning. I tugged at my wavy brown and blue streaked hair, a failed attempt to try and make my Dad notice me when I was younger. I got dressed quickly and ran downstairs flicking a strand of blue hair out of my mismatched eyes. My favourite thing about my own appearance was that I had one eye that was piercingly blue like my Dads and the other was emerald green like our Mums. But neither me or Kai saw her very often she had divorced Dad just after she had had me and Red and now lived in Australia. I don't blame her myself for her getting a divorce Dad's such a control freak. But I cant say I liked her any more, after all she did leave us with our father when she herself had refused to be with him.
I went downstairs to find my brother and my Dad, Seto Kaiba sitting at the breakfast table. That's right I'm a Kaiba but it doesn't feel like it most of the time the way he treats me you would think I was just another one of his employees, which of course I was. After flunking through Duel Academy I had been forced to get a job at Kaiba Corp whilst my infinitely more talented twin , as I was constantly reminded , went into pro duelling. Not that I wanted to duel but I didn't want to spend 10 hours a day making coffee for my Dad just to earn some cash. What I really wanted to do was travel see some of the world meet new people, was that to much to ask? Apparently so according to my Dad.
"Rhys, Earth to Rhys are you in there." I was snapped out of my day dream by Dad snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"Yeah what?" I asked coming back to my senses
"I just said that we better go now or we will both be late. Seriously girl get your head out of the clouds and then maybe then you will get some hard work done."He said staring down at me sternly and I stared back at him not lowering my gaze.
Then I rolled my eyes, groaned with a tut from Dad, grabbed a piece of toast on my way out and grudgingly went to work.
