School's starting soon, so for those of you who are going to attend school soon, I hope you have nice teachers (even though it's pretty rare)... Anyways, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own. Now let's get on with it.
Chapter 10:I'm so tired!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Serenity:
I open the door. I was a little afraid of my mother, but I was really too tired to care. I'll deal with her in the morning, I think, as I dragged myself up to bed to have a well-deserved rest. I closed my eyes.
However, I soon realized I was afraid. I was afraid, I was paranoid. I was scared. At that moment, Mother walked into the room. I had never felt more relieved, even though she screamed at me to take a bath. I decided to go ahead and take a bath. After that, I walked towards Mother's room. Finally, the anticipated "Where did you go?" appeared, and I heaved a sigh of relief. It would be over soon.
"I... did a project. With uh... Tea! Yes, Tea." "And why didn't you tell me?" She was angry, but I usually did not lie, so she decided to give me the benefit of the doubt, and I got away with a very long lecture about why we should always call our parents when we stay out, even if we are on a project. (I'm sure you guys got this before as well.) Then, I went to bed, pondering over the day's events, but turned on the lamp beside my bed.
I was scared of the dark. It reminded me of being kidnapped. Is this how his brother usually feels? I wondered. I closed my eyes, hoping sleep would take me. Before long, I drifted into a deep sleep, probably because of how tired I was feeling then.

Still Serenity:
I woke up, still feeling extremely tired. I walked to the closet to change into my uniform, feeling like a zombie. This was a Friday. I promised myself that I would close my eyes and sleep all through the day the moment I got home. For now... I could do nothing but wait for this day to be over. I walk out the front door, intending to walk my way to school in this same dreary manner.
Suddenly, I saw their limo drive here. Mokuba had asked his brother to give me a ride, letting me gain a precious few minutes of sleep. I sank down and closed my eyes. This is what happens if you sleep at two in the morning. I hope I won't have to do that again...

Kaiba (Yes, Seto, not Mokuba):
I saw her sleep. She looked very tired. So did Mokuba. I suppose she slept later than him, seeing as she had to explain to her mother. I felt a strange pang of---sympathy? We had reached Mokuba's school. He got out, and, walking like a drunk, he made his way into school. The bag must have been heavy.
We drove off again. I stole a glance at her. She looked so beautiful, like a sleeping angel. What am I doing again?! I suppose... she reminds me of Mokuba, in a way. It's getting very near the school. I woke her up. She decided to get off there. Can't say I blame her. it must be due to the overprotective mutt who calls himself her brother.

we'll skip to after school, as nothing happened in school, really, as the teachers handed out stacks of the torture that they so fondly called homework... not.

Serenity:
I was really tired. I would make good the promise to myself, and go to sleep. I could barely stay awake! So when Mokuba came out of their limo and asked me to join them, I nodded. I needed to sleep. I needed to sleep very badly.
After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and caught him staring at me. Was it my imagination? He quickly looked away. "Is it nice to watch people sleep?" I asked, grumpily. He replied, "Just wondering how difficult it will be to get you out of your slumber." I nodded groggily and slept throughout after that.

Kaiba:
I couldn't help watching her, as well as Mokuba. They were both sleeping so soundly, like... angels. I'm doing it again. Her eyes suddenly snapped open. "Is it nice to watch people sleep?" She asked. "Just wondering how difficult it will be to get you out of your slumber." I lied. I blushed. Slumber? Was I thinking of sleeping beauty? I looked away so no one would see that blush.
To my surprise, she fell right back to sleep after nodding. I smiled. She was tired. So, apparently, was Mokuba. We soon reached her house. "Wake up, sleeping beauty." I called. She blushed. Why? That's how I have to wake Mokuba up too... so... girls are such a mystery.
I suppose we were now friends, but there were many conditions with that. I sighed. Thinking about conditions made me remember the company's business matters again. I suppose I have to sort it out now.

So, she didn't really get out of trouble, but the trouble wasn't as big as it would have been. Hmm... I wonder what would Joey think if he saw her in the car???
