Tutoring with a Rival
Chapter 2
BANG!
Mr. Tomoto jerked his head up and came face to face with a really pissed off blonde that kicked the door open and was now walking to his desk. The math teacher just looked unfazed at the gesture and asked, "Mr. Wheeler, may I ask why you look so upset?"
"You can't do this to me teach!" Joey exclaimed in rage.
"Do what Joseph?" the math teacher asked not knowing what the teen meant.
The blond puppy marched over to the desk and yelled, "You know what; if you think for one minute that I'm gonna be tutored by that arrogant, cold-hearted, selfish, jerk then you've got another thing comin'!"
Mr. Tomoto rose from his desk and walked over to Joey. "Joseph, settle down please." The blonde took some deep breaths and calmed down.
"Now listen I know that you and Mr. Kaiba have your differences and dislikes, but he's the only one that can help you with your studies and maybe this will help you two get along better."
"I don't want him as my tutor; he's just gonna torture me. Please teach, can't you find someone else; I'm begging you!"
"I'm sorry Joseph, but my decision is already made. Mr. Kaiba will be your tutor and that's final."
"But…But…But…But…" the amber eyed teen stuttered.
"No buts; now go to class and I'll see you second block."
"ARGHHHH…THIS IS SO UNFAIR!" Joey yelled as he left the room, slamming the door behind him aggressively.
When Joey left, Mr. Tomoto shook his head, "He'll get used to the idea…I hope."
During ceramics class, Yugi was a little uncomfortable sitting next to Joey. The blond was molding the clay in a raging way with a pissed off look in his eyes.
"Umm…Joey, are you…"
"You know what Yug, I am sooooo upset!"
"Yes, I can tell by your aggressive clay molding." the smaller teen told his friend.
Joey took a deep breath and gave Yugi an apologetic look. "I'm sorry pal; I'm just mad that Mr. T chose that bastard of all people to tutor me."
"Joey, just think positive; it may not be as bad as you think it'll be."
The blonde gave a heavy sigh, "In this case, I hope your right about this."
At the sound of the bell, the two teens were heading for their math class. When they got there, Joey noticed that Kaiba was already in his seat with his eyes in a book.
"Look at him, sitting there like he's so superior. It makes me so sick I wanna hurl." the blond puppy mumbled to Yugi.
"Now Joey, remember what we talked about."
The brunette looked up from his book and saw Joey and Yugi. "Well, if it isn't Yugi and his pet dog. I'm surprised you're able to show your face to me after your drama yesterday, mutt."
"Yugi, could you please tell that rich prick that I will not respond to his smart alleck remarks." Joey said turning his head to the side. The smaller teen just sighed at the request. Kaiba placed his book on his desk as he fell into a deep chuckle.
Joey furrowed his eyebrow at the CEO. "What the hell are you laughin' about rich boy?"
The BEWD master stopped laughing and smirked at the question. "Nothing pup, it's just whenever I insult you, and you get into one of those petty little fits of yours."
"Who you callin' petty and I'M NOT A DAMN PUPPY!" the REBD master yelled.
"You'll always be one in my book, Wheeler."Joey just grunted to the comment and stomped to his seat in front of Kaiba.
Yugi headed to his desk as well and sighed, "Oh brother, this is going to be a long day."
While math class was in session, Joey's eyelids kept drooping as he was trying not to fall asleep again. Then at that moment something landed on his desk. It was a neatly folded note that displayed neat handwriting. As the blond read it, he became annoyed as it said, 'You know mutt if you could just stay awake for at least 10 minutes, your grades wouldn't be as lame as they are.'
The irritated teen balled up the note in a paper ball and threw it in the closest trash can. When he finished, Joey turned to the brunette and stuck out his tongue at him and turned his head back to the front. The CEO just smirked at the puppy, unfazed by the gesture.
As Joey was putting his textbook in his locker, he heard someone lean beside it. "You know if you didn't like my letter, you could've have found the proper way to say so." a smug voice said.
The amber eyed teen slammed his locker shut and turned toward a smirking Kaiba. "Yeah well if it's a smart ass letter, then that's the only reply you'll get." Joey said as he began to walk towards the lunchroom. Just then, a firm hand grabbed his wrist from behind. The blond turned to see piercing blue eyes staring into his.
'Whoa, those eyes are even sexier up close. Ack…what am I thinking! I just called the guy who annoys me the most, sexy; I definitely need to do something about my hormones.' "Would you mind letting go of me?"
"Patience pup, I just wanted to give you this." Kaiba handed Joey a white piece of paper. The blond wriggled his wrist out of the other's grasp and snatched the paper.
"What's this?"
"It's the address to my house for the tutoring session, you idiot."
"Who are you callin' an idiot; and what makes you think I'm going to your house anyway? Seeing you twice in one a day makes me wanna weep."
"Fine don't get tutored because if you don't you'll fail math and you'll have to repeat again next year."
'Damn it; I hate the guilt trip!' "Alright fine, I'll be there!" Joey groaned.
"I knew you'd see things my way pup." Kaiba gave him a smirk before walking away, "And try not to be late because unlike you, time is too precious for me to waste."
When the brunette walked away, Joey stood there annoyed. "Don't be late because time is too precious for me to waste…Tch; smart ass."
"Joey, are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Yugi asked the blond as they were walking home from school.
"Relax Yug; I can take care of myself. Besides it's only gonna be for an hour or so."
"That's what worries me, Joey."
"Oh come on buddy; have I ever not been able to control myself whenever I'm around that rich prick."
"Lots of times."
"Thanks a lot for the support Yugi; well I might as well get going."
"See you tomorrow, Joey"
"Later Yug." The two teens departed heading their separate ways.
"This must be the place." Joey said as he stood in front of the enormous mansion. Climbing the stairs he said, "I have to admit, Kaiba maybe be a pain in the ass but he sure knows how ta live."When the blond arrived to the door, he rang the doorbell. When no one answered the door in ten minutes, Joey rang it again, "Geez, does it take em' this long to answer a door."
When the door finally opened, a little boy, who looked fourteen, with ebony hair, silver eyes, wearing blue jeans and a blue-green striped shirt was standing in the doorway. The amber teen smiled, "Hey Mokuba; long time no see."
"Hi Joey…umm what are you doing here? Lemme guess, my brother cause you trouble at school today and you want to get back at him?"
"As tempting as that sounds, no. The reason I'm here is because Kaiba is tutoring me today."
The ebony haired boy sighed in a little relief, "Oh…well Seto is in his office upstairs. Why don't you come in and wait for him." So the amber eyed teen followed Mokuba into the mansion.
Joey's eyes widened at how big the place looked from the inside. "What a pad!"
"Thanks Joey; why don't you sit here while I go get Seto. I'll be right back." Mokuba said as he ran up the stairs leaving the blonde in the giant living room.
As Kaiba was typing busily on his laptop, he heard a knock on his office door. "Come in…"
"Hey big bro; am I interrupting anything?" Mokuba asked opening the door.
"Not at all Mokuba; what is it?"
"I just wanted to tell that Joey's here for the tutoring session."
Kaiba rolled his eyes, "Alright, tell the mutt I'll be down in a minute."
"Okay Seto." said the silver eyed boy as he shut the door and headed back down stairs.
As Joey sat in the couch of the living room, he was ogling at how big the room felt to him. "If this is their living room, I wonder how big the other gazillion rooms in this place are."
"Actually the other rooms are half the size of this one."
The blond yelled as he fell off the couch and landed on the floor, really hard. "Joey, are you alright?" Joey looked up to see Mokuba grinning down at him.
The amber eyed teen quickly arose and pouted at the ebony haired kid, "Why don't ya say somethin' before you come sneaking up on people!"
"Sorry about that Joey, I just came down to tell you my bro's on his way down."
"It's about time; and he's tellin' me not to be late and waste time, Geez."
"Haven't you heard of being fashionably late, pup?" said a smug voice from behind.
Joey yelped in surprise and turned to see Kaiba smirking down at him. "Damn it; is sneaking up on people and scaring them half to death a family trait around here!"
"Depends on how you look at it." the CEO replied.
The blond pouted at him, "Whatever, let's get this over with so I can go home."
"You know Wheeler, there's an old saying that states patience is a virtue."
"What are ya, a fortune cookie?"
"O-kay, well I'll be upstairs if you need me; enjoy the tutoring Joey! See ya later, Seto" Mokuba said as he headed up the stairs to his room.
"Alright mutt, let's get to it; time is money." the brunette said as he sat down on the couch.
Joey turned to the CEO, "Before we start let's get one thing straight; I AM NOT A FUCKING DOG!"
"Quit your howling Wheeler and let's get to this session already."
"And he tells me to be patient…such a snob." Joey whispered to himself.
"I heard that…"
