~Thursday~
As Angela walked into her first class on Thursday morning, the last thing she expected to see was a small group of people surrounding her desk.
It was about 15 minutes before class was supposed to begin, and Angela hadn't felt like standing out in the cold, but she considered turning right back around and bearing the weather rather than find out what was so interesting.
"What the hell are they doing?" Jason asked from behind her.
"I don't know, but I don't think its good," she replied.
Before Angela could say anything else, one girl in the group whispered, "There she is" and the students dispersed.
After the kids had parted and Angela could get a clear view of her desk, she saw what they had all been staring at.
On Angela's desk, there was a large bouquet of pink roses, and a small, wrapped present with a blue bow on top.
"What the heck is all this?" she asked as she approached the desk.
"Looks like someone has a secret admirer," Brenda said teasingly from behind her sister.
Angela ignored the comment and picked up the present. She didn't notice Joey, Tea, and Yugi walk into the class room when she started to unwrap the box.
"Holy crap!" Angela couldn't help but exclaim when she pulled a beautiful necklace out of the box. The chain was thin and delicate. She handled the silver carefully and smiled when she noticed the necklace had a heart shaped pendant made of amethyst.
'Hmm, pink roses and jewelery? I think someone is finally apologizing,' Angela thought to herself with a smirk.
~Lunch~
'I guess dey completely made up.' Joey thought somewhat bitterly to himself. The blonde was watching with contempt as Angela and Jason laughed with each other.
Angela had opted not to sit next to Joey that day, instead she across from him, and next to Jason. Joey tried not to growl angrily when he saw Jason pick up Angela's sandwich and take a bite from it, without even asking.
'Dey act jus' like a freakin' couple! Fuckin' Jason, he's such a jerk!' Joey was irritated, but it wasn't because of the food sharing, or the fact that Angela wasn't sitting next to Jason, or even the smug smiles he was receiving from the other male teen. No; Joey's real problem was hanging down from Angela's neck.
'Who da hell gave her dat necklace?? I know it ain't Jason. Dat bastard woulda thrown it in my face already. It looks real expensive, so it's gotta be somebody with a lota dough. I'm gonna figure dis out, den I'm gonna kick some ass!'
Joey was so caught up in his thoughts, that he didn't notice a tall brunet leaving the cafeteria. He did notice, however, when Angela rose from the table, saying she would be right back.

When Angela finally caught up with Kaiba, he was standing near his locker and looking through his briefcase.
"Hi," she said hesitantly, while approaching the tall CEO.
Kaiba looked up for a moment, but when he saw Angela, he went back to his briefcase.
"I, uh, wanted to thank you for the roses. And the necklace." Angela shuffled her feet distractedly. She couldn't understand her nervousness. Kaiba was the one apologizing, but somehow she still felt guilty.
"You're welcome." The brunette replied. He then pulled out a file and began to put his briefcase back in his locker. "I want you to wear it tomorrow," he closed his locker and smirked down at Angela.
Angela let out an audible sigh of relief. That was the Kaiba she liked being around; always smirking at her, a bit too controlling for his own good, and insatiable.
"I'll think about it," Angela replied with her own smirk. They were alone together in the hallway. All the other students were at lunch or in class.
"I really like this part though," Angela said, while fingering the amethyst heart on the chain. "It's nice that you remember my birthstone. But about tomorrow, am I going to your office or house?"
"The mansion. Mokuba has some project to work on with his little friends. He's going to sleep over, and I'm picking him up in the morning."
"Ok, good. That way, I can spend all night showing you how much I appreciate your gifts," Angela smiled seductively. "Oh, what if we do some role playing?! We haven't done that in awhile. This time, I'll be the naughty maid looking for a job."
"No, that's too cliché."
"Um...secretary and the boss?"
"That's even worse."
"Fine!" Angela snatched the folder out of Kaiba's hands. "I'll be a spy from Industrial Illusions and I've come to steal your secret files to report back to Unicorn-"
"Pegasus."
"Close enough. And you catch me in the act! Then you'll have to punish me. How 'bout that? Too cliché?" Angela asked triumphantly, still holding the file.
"I have an even better idea," Kaiba said, looking down the hallway to make sure they were alone. He then approached Angela slowly before pressing her back against some lockers. His fingers played with the hem of her skirt teasingly.
"I think we should leave together right now, so you can thank me even sooner." Kaiba smiled down at Angela.
No matter how many times she got close to the young CEO, Angela's heart still fluttered when he was near her. She blushed deeply and thought for a moment before she smiled back at Kaiba.
"Let's go." she said. Angela lightly pushed Kaiba away from her, and started heading down the hallway to find the school's exit, with the brunet following behind her.
Angela giggled when she felt a hand slap her butt. The girl started to walk faster, and then she was jogging down the hallway, listening to the heavy footsteps of her companion behind her.
Before turning a corner, Angela looked back at Kaiba and smiled flirtatiously at him, when she turned her head back around, the last thing she saw was a wide chest.

Ow...
"Good job, Wheeler, you killed my sister."
My head is killing me...
"It was an accident! How was I supposed ta know she'd come runnin' down da hall like dat?"
What the hell happened?
"It's all Kaiba's fault anyways! Dat asshole was chasin' her!"
It's so dark...
"I wasn't chasing her, you pathetic idiot."
"Why ain't she wakin' up??"
I wanna go back to sleep...
"Move out of the way, Mutt."
Angela's eyes shot open suddenly when she felt sharp pain in both of her cheeks.
"AAHH! What the hell?!"
Angela suddenly felt very uncomfortable. When her eyes finally managed to focus on what was in front of her, she noticed that all of her family, and the entire gang was staring down at her. Even more awkward was the fact that Kaiba was kneeling next to her.
"Angela, I'm sorry! I didn't mean ta hurt ya!" Joey exclaimed, looking very worried.
"Angela, look at me," Kaiba suddenly said, ignoring the blonde's attempt to apologize. "Do you know where you are?"
Angela nodded slightly then answered, "School."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I think I ran into Joey..."
"Why are you askin' all these dumbass questions Kaiba? Hell, why are ya even here?" Joey growled.
"He's checking if she has a concussion," Raisa offered, staring down at her sister.
"Do you feel nauseous?" Kaiba continued questioning.
"No...did you pinch my cheeks?"
The slight smirk on Kaiba's lips told Angela that the teen billionaire had, in fact, pinched her.
"Prick," she mumbled, and then, "Can you guys help me up?"
In an instant, Jason was pulling Angela to her feet, and making sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else.
As Kaiba watched Jason fuss over Angela, the weight of what he had just done dawned on him more heavily. In eyes of the Geek Squad, he had just done something selfless for a stranger. There was no way they would just let the incident slide. But when Seto had seen Angela hit the floor, his brain wasn't the thing controlling his body. Before he could even make up his mind about anything, he was on the ground trying to see if the girl was alright.
They had both decided to ignore each other at school, because it was best for everyone, but now Kaiba had made everything far more complicated.
But the CEO was broken out of his thoughts when he heard Angela exclaim, "Oh no! I dropped your papers!"
"It's fine," Seto said quickly, while bending down to pick up the contents of his file. When he stood back up, he was being eyed suspiciously.
"What were you doin', runnin' afta Angela like dat?" Joey ask bluntly.
"That's none of your business Wheeler," Kaiba replied. The truth was that Kaiba couldn't really think of an excuse at that moment.
"The hell it isn't Kaiba!" Tristan interjected. "You were chasing our friend down the hall, and she got hurt. You owe us an explanation."
The tension in the hallway was palpable, but Angela didn't know what to do. If she defended Kaiba, she was putting their secret at risk. But she couldn't just stand there and let him be accused of something that obviously wasn't his fault.
'Great,' Seto thought to himself. 'The Friendship Patrol won't let this go, will they? What the hell do I say to get out of this?? Come on, Kaiba, think, you're supposed to be a genius.'
"I don't think there's anything wrong with playfully chasing your friend down the hall," Brenda suddenly said, breaking the awkward tension. "It was just an accident that Angela fell."
"Friend?!" Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Joey exclaimed at the same time.
"Uh...Yeah, Seto and I are friends." Angela said, catching onto her sister's lie. "We were just playing around, and I wasn't watching where I was going, like always! This is just a misunderstanding."
"Dere's no way you're friends wit an asshole like Kaiba!" Joey growled. "Dat bastard only cares about his brotha, his company, and himself! He ain't got any friends!"
"Go to hell, you worthless mutt!" Kaiba temporarily lost his cool, and yelled at the blonde.
"Hey, I'm his friend!" Jason said defensively. "That's it Wheeler, I'm tired of you and your big mouth! I'm gonna kick your ass!"
"Go ahead and try it, Jason!" Tristan threatened, backing his buddy up.
Angela was getting more and more nervous as tension filled the air. She could feel an invisible line being formed between her family, and her new friends. 'Crap, I gotta do something before they all start beating the crap out of each other! Ummm...OH!'
Everyone in the group teens gasped when they heard a thud as Angela hit the ground. The ebony haired girl had mysteriously "fainted."
~Friday~
Angela waved to Jason as he drove down the driveway of Kaiba's mansion and out the huge iron gates. Almost immediately after she rang the doorbell, a sexy looking Seto Kaiba opened the door. He was wearing black slacks and a red button up shirt. The top buttons were undone revealing part of his chest, and the duel monsters card locket that held Mokuba's picture. The CEO's hair was mussed and a sticking up in random places, as if he had been sleeping earlier.
"Hey, come on in," Kaiba said, stepping aside for Angela.
"What's up with your hair?" She asked while walking past him.
"Nothing." Seto said quickly, while smoothing down his brunet locks. "So, how are you feeling after your little fainting spell yesterday?" Kaiba's tone was smug, and knowing.
"I'm fine, thank you. I'm even better because I got to get away from all the drama for the rest of the afternoon."
"Yeah, maybe we could have avoided it all together if you weren't such a huge klutz."
"Shuddup."
Somehow the two had ended up in the kitchen.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Angela asked.
"No."
"Ok, I'll make you something." She started rifling through cabinets.
"I'm not hungry."
"I don't care. You have to eat to stay healthy."
"What do you mean, you don't care? This is my house, you can't force me to eat in my own house." Kaiba folded his arms stubbornly.
"We'll see."
~A few hours later~
Seto Kaiba had been defeated.
Not only did he eat every bite of his dinner, he had let Angela convince him to watch a movie with her afterward.
The 17 year old boy stripped down to his boxers and climbed under the blankets on his bed. 'Damn her! I always forget how good of a cook she is.'
The brunet adjusted himself so that he was lying on his stomach. A few seconds later he felt the warmth of Angela's thighs as she straddled his waist.
"Aw, you're not going to bed so soon, are you?" Angela cooed somewhat mockingly.
"Shut up. You stuffed me with good food and made me watch that ridiculous movie, of course I'm tired." Kaiba's response was muffled by his pillow.
Angela's hands began roaming over Kaiba's back, massaging it gently. "So how was your week? Besides the whole showdown with Joey and the others?"
"Fine," Seto mumbled. "Just long."
"That's good." Angela was silent while she worked on a particularly tense section of Kaiba's shoulders.
After a few minutes, Kaiba said, "I can't believe your sister said we were friends."
"Why not? It's not exactly a lie. We are friends."
"I would hardly consider this friendship."
"Oh really? We care about each other, we trust each other, we know intimate secrets and weird quirks about one another-"
"You don't know any weird quirks about me."
"Sure I don't, Mr. I-Refuse-To-Eat-Anything-Artificially-Colored-Blue."
"Hey, you said you'd never bring that up!"
"I'm just trying to make a point Seto," Angela smiled. "I think we're as close as two people can be, without being relatives. Just admit it! God, we're practically dating."
At Angela's last comment, Kaiba stopped trying to argue.
'Practically dating?' he thought to himself. 'Interesting..."
