(On With The Story!)
(Kaiba's POV)
My eyes were slightly wider then usual as I remembered that the shrimp was with me at the hospital at that time. And as Mokuba described it, like she was worried about me. God, that's why I couldn't think straight! She did something that was uncalled for like she wanted to be paid back! God, why are people like that?
"Seto, you still doing work?" Mokuba asked as he stuck his head in the door.
"Yes." I replied before flipping the computer open again and pretending like I was working.
"Um. Well, I wanted to talk to you about something." Mokuba said after he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"What?" I asked dryly hoping that he wouldn't start interrogating me about wanting me to call Serenity and thank her or something stupid like that.
"Well, you know how I told you that Serenity was at the hospital with you a few times?" Mokuba asked. God, why was he talking about this? Did I look like I cared about the mutt's sister?
"Mokuba, please, I don't want to hear about it." I said stiffly.
"But I just wanted to tell you that she only went there to bring your homework." Mokuba replied as I breathed a sigh of relief in my head. But what on earth was she doing there the second time that Roland told me about? "Oh, and the second time she was there, you were sleeping." Mokuba continued as he looked like he was about to duck and cover.
"You mean in the coma, right?" I asked. I had no idea what Mokuba was implying, and maybe I didn't even want to know.
"No. Um… It was the day you woke up from it. Um… You were asleep and she came in and just sat by you for 5 minutes. She just was happy to know what you were okay." Mokuba replied.
I listened to what he said and I actually couldn't believe it. Great, now I felt like I owned that shrimp big time… I groaned in agony and Mokuba noticed, so he left he room to leave me alone. God, I couldn't believe how much she was making my life a total living hell. She was so irritating, and she had to do something like this to make it even worse.
(1 Week and 6 Days Later)
Well, time does fly by. Well, actually, it seemed like forever, but who cares? Today's the day I got back to school and I'm dreading it worse then anything. "Seto! Time to get ready!" Mokuba shouted through my door as I was still getting dressed into my damn school uniform. After I got dressed, I walked down to the kitchen where Roland was making oatmeal once again.
"Good morning, Master Kaiba!" Roland said enthusiastically to me.
"Whatever." I groaned angrily in response. I was not a morning person…
"Seto, look at the comics today! They're hilarious!" Mokuba said happily as he threw the newsprint in my face. I seen a happy dog jumping up and down on the panels and it kind of reminded me of the mutt. God, how can you find these funny? They're completely irrelevant.
"Sorry, kiddo. I have to go." I said before getting up and handing the paper back to him
"But, Master Kaiba, your oatmeal is ready." Roland replied as he turned to me.
"Just put it in the fridge, I'll eat it after school." I said dryly before grabbing my briefcase and walking out the door and to my car. I rarely drove myself to school, but I really didn't want to deal with a limo today. As I drove to school, I thought about a lot of things. Mostly how those stupid fangirls would react, but I was too tried to think about it. I was just glad I took care of all my damn homework. Well, Mokuba did most of it.
After I drove in front of the school, the jocks got all mad because of my car. God, get your own cars. After I parked, I got out of the car and grabbed my briefcase. "Seto! You're back!" I heard a girl scream and that annoying voice could only be one person… Yukika. "Oh my gosh! I'm so glad your okay!" she shouted as she ran over to me.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked her angrily.
"What do you mean?" she asked as her eyes were a little too glazed over. Almost of this whore was about to cry.
"I mean, why do you care?" I repeated for her in layman's terms.
"I just do. I'm just glad you're all right. I mean, I saw what happened on the news and I was so worried…" she said, as my suspicions were correct. She was going to cry. She started to cry as I just crossed my arms and tried hard not to roll my eyes. Her cry was so fake it made me sick.
"See you." I said dryly before steeping beside her and walking into the school building. When I walked in, I was given looks of shock. Hmm. Guess everyone thought I was dead. Oh well. As I was on the way to my locker, I seen the mutt's sister at her locker fixing up her hair. Good luck. Need a miracle to fix that rat nest. Then I remembered that I owned her something, but I had no idea what the hell she liked? Why the hell would I know? Well, beside what I did to her in the hall a while ago.
I then looked up and seen a banner that was about the dreaded winter dance. I never went to one of those retarded things. I mean, why would anyone with a brain stem want to go? So I guess that's the reason the mutt always went. "I wish could go to that dance, but… It isn't worth it…" I heard the shrimp say to herself. Then it hit me. But would I really want to go humiliate myself in front of everyone just to pay this idiotic girl back? I had two minutes to make this decision and the 'don't ask her side' was looking a lot more convincing.
I mean, I could make it up to her in a different way. I could try and not insult her for a day. That might be hard, but it was better then taking her to the damn dance. And she always says she hates me and I feel the same about her. I mean, why on earth would you want to go to one of those damn school dances with a person you hated? Yeah, I'll just try and not insult her in front her face for today.
I turned toward my locker and opened it and that must have got the shrimp's attention when she turned to look at me. She looked as if she was in total shock and like she was about to cry. Just great. And in case you're wondering, that was sarcasm. "K-Kaiba?" she asked as she turned to me and started to walk over to me. Great, how can I not insult her when she's practically begging for it?
"What?" I asked dryly.
"You're okay?" she asked in a whisper. God, what was she all sad and quiet about?
"Uh-huh." I replied as I grabbed my chemistry book and closed my locker. After I shut it, she looked at me and just smiled. I thought it was kind of creepy, and I had to keep reminding myself that I was trying to be nice.
"That's great." I heard her say as she grabbed my free hand before standing in front of me and hugging me around my waist. Oh no. Be nice. Be nice. Be nice. I had to keep repeating in my head so I wouldn't lose my temper. She was small, pretend it was only Mokuba. I felt wetness on where her head was leaning and sighed degradedly, knowing perfectly well that she started to cry. After 2 more minutes of torture, she finally let go.
The shrimp stalled for a few more minutes as her hands were still positioned on my waist. She finally let go to wipe her tears before looking up at me in shock. "You didn't get mad." She whispered gently as she tried to hold back tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. God, I have to stop reading that stupid script.
"I have to get to class." I said in excuse before stepping around her and heading to class.
(Normal POV)
Serenity watched him leave as she held back her tears as much as she could. She never thought she would be so happy to see Kaiba awake again. It had been almost 2 months since she actually hear him talk and it was… nice. Serenity reluctantly turned her eyes away from him and went to go back over to her locker to grab the book she forgot. As she was grabbing it, she wondered why he was being so kind to her. He never was. He actually let her hug him. But she didn't care that he was acting strange, she was just happy he was back.
