Hello everyone! I don't know if you're going to read this fanfic, but I hope you like this chapter. It's fairly shorter, so i hope you're ok with that. I hope you've liked this fanfic so far though. Also, every chapter with italics before the actual story is Cassandra's POV, but I'll label the POVs anyway.
Read away!
That day, I'll never forget it. It was such a surprise to hear your name. Seto Kaiba, the billionaire. You hadn't shown any signs of being rich or a bitch, like people always said. I found comfort in my friends, Krystal and Alycia. Lola…Well…
I shut the door behind me and slump to the ground. What the heck? How had I not realized it? Seto Kaiba, the child genius, now owning KaibaCorp, having a net worth of over 160 billion dollars, had just danced with me and taken me home. No wonder the girls had been all over him. They were trying to get a piece of that fortune.
I'd played it cool and mentioned how I recognized him. We ended up exchanging numbers, and he said he hoped to see me again.
Now, sitting on the floor with my ferret, Simba, in my hand, I think over what the heck to do.
I could call a friend. Nah, publicity is a bitch.
I could call him. I check my watch. He left five minutes ago, too early to call. Besides, that's too clingy.
I get tired of just sitting there, so I stand up and walk over to my computer on the desk. Simba stays on my shoulder. I open up my chat that comes with my computer.
I happen to see an old friend, Alycia, open for chat. She moved to an old casino town in high school, and we kept in touch.
I click her name and start typing. We talk for a while. I mention Seto without revealing his name or fortune. She jokes about us getting married, and after I retort with the fact I've known him for an hour or two, she shuts up. She was always clever.
The conversation turns to her boyfriend, Justin. He apparently has gotten her roses and chocolate. I never really liked him, but I guess he treats her well, so I'm ok with him and her being together. Alycia keeps sending me LOLs and OMGs. I really have no idea what's happening so I ask. I guess Justin walked in with a stripper outfit on, but the shirt's too big and the shorts are too small. I'm laughing too, but I stop when the picture crosses my mind.
Ew.
I guess she wants to investigate, so I say good-bye and sign off. It was good to talk to her. I remember Team Dreamo, which consisted of her, two of my other friends, and I. It was a little book club of ours. I didn't read as many books as the others, even though I read really fast. I was just too lazy.
I sit back in my chair. Simba fell asleep, so I carry him back to his cage and put him in his bed. He's so cute, with his long, dark tail, but light colored body. I've always loved his paws too.
And Seto is so hot, not just cute, with his deep blue eyes.
Ok, he is. I hadn't really seen him as attractive in the newspapers all over the city. I guess seeing him in person changed that opinion. Everyone knows him as one of the best duelists in the world and the CEO of KaibaCorp. I mean, he's Seto Kaiba, he could probably kill someone and get away with it. Sure, it'd be all over the newspapers and the TV, but he could buy his way out.
I hadn't seen him as the soft, intelligent type either. Sure, he's intelligent; he's proved that ten times over. Even though, the King of Games, Yugi Motou, has proven him to be a jerk more than once.
I'm not one to judge, but sometimes, I've thought about Seto being a jerk too. But maybe he's had a bad childhood or something. I never really looked into the subject. I guess we both have secrets.
I walk over to my dresser in my bedroom and pick up the large picture of Nick. My brother looked a lot like me, and I think I got my personality from him too, watching video games with him all the time. My tomboyishness probably was acquired from all the first person shooters I watched him play. (I ended up a half pyromaniac.) I miss Nick a lot, and I wish he were here.
Seto's a jerk according to the media, but I think there's something under that cold exterior that wants to come out. What did he see in me that made him so soft today? I'm skinny, tall, and a downer at parties. I'm not too attractive, what with a nose like Pinocchio's and a larger than normal forehead, but I'm not ugly, I guess.
No matter what, I know I'm not falling asleep tonight.
