There was a problem with spacing so the layout looks horrible, but the story's pretty good^^)

Mizore, if could see how I feel about you, you wouldn't be avoiding me like this thought Kaiba. I don't care about what everyone else says, I want to be by your side. I don't want us to end like this.
Seto was on the computer. He had just logged out of his email account. The whole school was buzzing with rumors about Mizore using Kaiba, but he didn't believe them. He knew that Mizore wasn't the type of person to do something like that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're right, Kyoko" said Mizore.
"Yup!" said Kyoko cheerfully. "Just ignore the haters!"
Mizore was in the washroom to hid from the rumors. She was also avoiding Kaiba; she didn't have the courage to face him. What if he believed the rumors? Even worse, what if he dumped her over it? She didn't want that to happen.
I never realized I liked Seto this much thought Mizore.
"Thanks for the pep talk," said Mizore. "You're a good friend, you've been really supportive of me since the beginning-
The bell rang; lunch was over.
"I'll talk to you later," said Mizore, hanging up.
"Okay, bye" said Kyoko.
I guess it's time to get to class thought Mizore. But I don't want to go. Everyone is going to ask me if I'm using Seto, that's going to be really annoying. If Seto believes those rumors, I'll...
Finally, Mizore decided to get to class. She didn't want to get in trouble for skipping.
"Mizore, wait up!" somebody called.
Mizore turned around to see Seto. "I have to get to class," she told him, then she continued walking.
"Hey wait!" said Kaiba. Mizore didn't stop.

"This is about those rumors, right?" continued Seto. "Mizore, I-

"Let me guess you want to break up?" said Mizore. "I guess you actually believe those rumors."

"Please listen to me!" said Kaiba.

He spun her around and saw that her green eyes were filled with tears.
She's crying? he thought.
"I don't believe those rumors!" said Kaiba. "I know you're not like that! Is that why you were avoiding me?"
"I thought you believed them," replied Mizore. "I'm sorry Seto. I didn't want you to dump be because of this"
"It's alright Mizore," said Kaiba.
"But what about those rumors?" said Mizore. "It's bad enough that everyone in the school is gossiping about me, what if somebody tells this to the press?"
"You're taking this too seriously," said Kaiba. "Everyone will forget about this tomorrow, and besides, no intelligent person believes that crap."
I never realized I liked Seto this much, thought Mizore. I got so stressed out when I thought he was going to dump me, I guess this made me realize how much he meant to me.

"Keep holding on," said Kaiba. "Because we'll make it through. You know what they say, what doesn't kill us will make us stronger."
He then kissed Mizore, she kissed him back. It was a long sweet kiss, and nobody saw them since they were alone in the hallway.

That's it for Chapter 10! Chapter 11 will be out as soon as possible! Thanks for reading! Please review ^^
