Chapter 1

/Lee's P.o.V/

I stood out the front of the Domino High reception with my friend, Grace. We both moved here from the United States, after seeing a brochure for new students. She now lived with me since her mother couldn't make it. I looked around at all the friendship groups in the courtyard.

I waved my goodbyes to Grace as she set of to meet new people. I glanced around the area, my dark blue eyes trying to avoid contact with anyone else. However, a tall boy around my age did catch my eyes. He didn't look up from his laptop as I approached. "Hi there." I said somewhat bluntly.

He looked up, that's when I realised who he was. This was Seto Kaiba, president of Kaiba Corp. "What do you want?" He asked, his gaze sweeping over me, closing his laptop. "Uh, I thought I'd just say hi." I muttered half to myself.

"Well then." He said, blinking. "I'm Seto Kaiba, better known as Kaiba." Standing up, he grinned. "Why don't you hang around with your friend, and not me?" I scowled at him, he had no right to imply that. "Says the one who doesn't seem to be around anybody." I growled.

Oh I shouldn't of said that. He looked back at me, his eyes narrowed. "Gee, I wonder why." I added, not caring what he would say. Kaiba looked as though he would blow a fuse. He grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the area between the locker bays and the first set of classrooms.

"This is very hard for me to say, but would it be fine to 'hang' out with you -uh?" He asked, I forgot I didn't tell him my name. "Lee." I said, somewhat smiling.

He let a snort of contempt. Clearly he wasn't to pleased to be hanging around me. I honestly wasn't too keen either, but at least he's company. The first bell rang, I quickly said my good-byes to Kaiba, not asking what his classes were for the day. Then I remembered, I had to meet Grace in the school reception.

Fastening my bag, that had been almost dragged everywhere on my shoulder, I slowly set off. I passed many people, most generally shorter than me. It looked as though I was half way when I saw Grace walking up on my side.

"Hey dude!" I greeted her with a grin across my face. "Hey Lee, how's it been so far?" Grace asked, her head cocked to the side. "Well, I met Seto Kaiba. That's it." I said almost cracking up. Grace looked at me in shock. "You met the president of Kaiba Corp.?"

I nodded, looking back at her. "Anyone new for you?" Grace scratched the back of her head. "Yeah, I lost my temper before, but I befriended a kid called Yugi Mouto. He said I get to meet the rest of his friends later."

We both continued chatting the rest of the way. Soon enough, we reached our destination. "Good morning Ms. Taylor and Ms. Jackson." A somewhat elderly lady stood in front of us. Her hair was in a neat bun and wore a 'pretty' scarlet vest. "We have to students here to show you around for the day. You'll be put into their classes for the day." She gestured her hand for two students to enter the area.

To my surprise, Kaiba walked in, followed by a shorter boy with odd, black and magenta hair that stuck up. "Ms Taylor, Mr. Kaiba will be your guide for the day and Ms. Jackson, Mr. Moto will be yours." The lady said, a smile crept across her face. She went behind her desk, returning with two brand new laptops and timetables.

I looked over at Grace, seeing a smile on her face as she went to talk with Yugi. I quickly looked over at Kaiba, his blue eyes staring back at mine. "Come on." he said bluntly. "First class is Computer Graphics." He said walking in the supposed direction of the classroom. I frowned, walking quickly to catch up to the tall boy.

"Well, looks like we're stuck with each other." I joked, trying not to look at his eyes. "Only for today." He remarked, grinning. "You are so smart." You said somewhat in a sarcastic tone.

Kaiba shot a glare in my direction, hoping to intimidate me, I honestly couldn't care less.

We entered the class, the teacher greeting me. "Ah, welcome Ms. Taylor!" He said with a friendly smile on his face. "Today, and if you want the rest of the term. You will be seated next to Mr. Kaiba." the teacher continued. Stifling a yawn, I followed Kaiba over to our seats.

"Now class, open your laptops. We'll begin by creating a simple object of our choice." The teacher stated, writing it up on the white board.

Clearly Kaiba was set to work as he clicked on the keys and laptop's mouse pad. I turned on my new laptop, quickly entering the needed details. I opened the program that was named 'Paint Tool SAI', quickly retrieving my art tablet from my bag.

I saw Kaiba's eyes look over curiously, probably wondering what I was doing. I had an idea to draw the famous duel monster card, The Blue Eyes White Dragon. Quickly sketching up the rough idea, it was obvious I had Kaiba's attention.

My real lines soon came onto the screen of my laptop. Colour was my next weapon on this piece. I had been practising a 'paint-brush' style when I lived in America. Clearly it would look nice on this dragon.

Finished. I looked over at Kaiba. He looked very surprised at the end result. "I'm impressed, Lee." Was all he said before he continued on his own work. You'd like to say more than that wouldn't you? I thought smugly, before saving my work.

I sat, lost in my own thoughts for awhile. Is there something Kaiba is hiding?
