Hey ladies and gents! Here we are with chapter ten! This chapter was kinda hard to write because I had issues figuring some of the details out. But I figured them out so, there we go! So I was watching the movie The Impossible while typing this. And I was SOBBING. It was SO good but SAD. I would definitely recommend it, but if you watch it be ready with tissues. I went through two boxes of tissues, no joke. Anyway! I'm babbling as usual so let's just get on with the chapter now shall we?
Ronnie woke with a start the next morning. She looked at the clock on her nightstand. The numbers blinked back at her. Oh no. What time is it? She grabbed her phone from off the side table and glanced at the clock on there. It read eleven o'clock. Damn it! She threw herself out of her bed and started picking up her uniform in pieces. She quickly jumped into the shower, brushed her teeth, and pulled on her uniform before flying down the stairs. Why didn't anyone wake me? As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard voices from the kitchen. The Kaiba brothers were sitting in the kitchen, talking and eating their breakfast.
"Good Morning Ronnie!" Mokuba called when she entered the kitchen.
"Morning. Um," she glanced at Seto, confusion on her face. "School?"
"No school today. Take a look outside." She glanced out the kitchen window and saw a thick blanket of white covering the ground.
"Oh my God! It snowed!" she ran towards the front door and threw it open. The snow crunched under her feet as she ran out into the yard. A light snow still fell from the sky. She tilted her head back, and stuck out her tongue. She stopped when she heard a chuckle. Seto stood against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest.
"You're such a child," he said with a smirk.
"Well considering I'm not eighteen yet, that statement is absolutely accurate," she said. "Besides, who wants to grow old?" She asked with a goofy grin.
"You aren't eighteen yet? When do you turn eighteen?"
"A couple weeks actually. December ninth. How about you? When was the world graced with the birth of the child prodigy known as Seto Kaiba?"
"Are you always this sarcastic?"
"Oh please. You've only known me since August, you should know the answer to that question by now!" She grinned at him. "So, when's your birthday?"
"I turned eighteen last month. October twenty-fifth."
"What? Why didn't you tell me! We could've celebrated it."
"I don't like to celebrate it."
"Why?" He shook his head with a frown.
"That's a question for another day."
"Well then. It looks like I owe you a present."
"Don't be ridiculous. I don't need anything." She raised an eyebrow at him with a grin.
"If you say so." She paused for a minute then looked at him, her grin widening. "Come outside!"
"No. That's alright."
"Oh come on. Have some fun!"
"I don't have time for fun."
"I challenge you."
"What?"
"I challenge you to a snowball fight! I know you aren't one to back down from a challenge. Are you really going to prove me wrong?" He smirked at her and pushed himself off the doorframe.
"You're going to regret challenging me." He slipped on a pair of shoes that were by the door and stepped out into the lightly falling snow. When he stepped outside, he saw Ronnie running through the snow towards a tree. Hmph coward, he thought as a triumphant smirk played on his lips. He followed her as quietly as possible. He silently picked up a chunk of snow, packing it into a tight ball. When he reached the tree that he saw her heading for, he peered around the side of it with a triumphant grin. The grin fell from his face when he didn't find her there. Suddenly, something wet and cold dropped down onto his head.
"Gotcha!" Ronnie cheered from the low branch that she had been sitting on. She jumped down and took off as Seto shook the snow out of his hair.
"You're going to pay for that one Warren!" he yelled, fighting against the smile that was forming on his lips. He chased after her and slowly started gaining on her. He picked up another handful of snow as he ran and packed it into a ball. He threw it at her, hitting her in the back.
"Ah I'm hit!" she yelled dramatically. "Woman down!" She fell dramatically to the ground and stuck her tongue out. He stopped when he reached her lying in the snow, smirking in triumph.
"Looks like I win." She suddenly sat up and threw some snow into his face.
"Sike!" she cheered, getting up from the snow. She ran away from him laughing as he stared in shock. She continued to run and he continued to chase her until finally he had her cornered between him and one of the sides of the house. He had a large wad of snow in his hand.
"Alright. Let's call it a draw?" she asked, sticking her hands up in defeat.
"Scared to lose?"
"I'm not afraid of anything."
"Then why don't you just admit that I have you beaten?"
"I got you twice, you got me once. I'm pretty sure that means I'm the winner." He dropped the snow on her head, faking surprise.
"Opps. My hand slipped."
"Yeah sure it did. So now can we call it even?"
"Very well. It's a draw. You're just lucky I let you get the upper hand."
"Oh please. Don't flatter yourself Seto. I had the battle won."
"If that's the case then you wouldn't mind having a game night to prove who really is the best at games in this household."
"Of course I won't mind. You're on!" He put a hand on either side of her head, boxing her in.
"Great. The night will consist of three games. One of my choice, one of your choice, and one of Mokuba's choice." He leaned in closer to her, looking her straight in the eyes. His eyes gleamed with determination.
"Oh and one more thing Ronnie," he leaned in so his mouth was right next to her ear. The sudden heat made her shiver.
"I never lose." And like that, he had backed up and started towards the front door. As he walked away from her, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks heat up. She shook her head to regain her composure then followed him inside.
Bing bang boom, chapter 10 done! I'm sorry that this chapter was kinda short but I wanted to save the game night for next chapter. I really enjoyed writing this chapter. It was fun writing the little interactions between Ronnie and Seto. With that said, expect the next chapter either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'd also like to thank everyone who has reviewed. They really boost my mood! So I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Until next time!
