*************** Chapter One *******************
Seto Kaiba sighed as he rubbed his eyes. They had been bothering him for weeks now. The doctors said nothing was wrong, yet they never seemed to stop hurting.
With a sigh, he turned back to his book. It was for a book report that was due in a few days, and he only had a couple of chapters left. But he kept having to stop because his eyes were bothering him so bad.
"You are reading to much at once." A voice called from over his right. He turned to come face to face with the most beautiful pair of emerald green eyes he had ever seen.
Shaking his head, Kaiba took a better look. It was a girl he had never noticed before. Her long, reddish brown hair reached her waist. She looked fairly small. A pair of small, reading glasses rested on the bridge of her nose.
"Your eyes are bothering you because you are reading to much of the book at once." She said shyly. Seeing the confused look on her face, she let out a small sigh full of exasperation. "See how small the print is? Your eyes are straining themselves trying to read it, with it causing them to bother you." She said calmly gently pointing at the tiny print.
Kaiba nodded in understanding before facing her fully again. Searching his mind, he still couldn't place her face. So, treading cautiously, he asked, "May I ask who you are?"
With a light laugh, she answered, "It is no small wonder that you don't know me. Few people actually do. My name is Maria Joans."
Smiling softly, he answered, "And mine is Seto Kaiba." His smile was quickly returned before she turned back to her desk just in time to see Kia Yukino, the female half of the class prankster team, steal her sketchpad.
"Kia! What are you doing? Give me that!" Maria exclaimed in surprise before trying to grab it from the smaller brown-haired-and-eyed girl. Kia laughed before throwing it to Yaten Fuugi, the male half of the class prankster team. Maria knew she didn't have a chance. Yaten was eight inches taller then her, like most of the class.
Yaten smirked at Maria while his brown eyes sparkled with mischief. A few girls nearby sighed. Yaten was often called the brown haired hunk, despite his annoying and unpredictable personality. Rumor had it he had a thing for Maria, but they both knew they would never be anything more then friends.
Maria tried in vain to get her sketchpad back. If anyone saw those sketches, she knew she was socially dead, like she wasn't already. She heard Kia laughing somewhere behind her and vowed to get revenge.
She heard footsteps behind her, but ignored them. What mattered now was getting her sketches from Yaten. That thought was cut off when a hand grabbed her sketchbook from his hand. Turning around in a flash, Maria almost groaned out loud. Why did Seto Kaiba have to retrieve it?
Kaiba flipped through the sketchbook. He almost dropped it in surprise when he saw it was filled with sketches of himself. Maria grabbed the sketchbook just as the bell rang. Kaiba wondered to himself as he took his seat, 'Why would she be sketching pictures of me?!?'
************* End for Now ************
DT: That's all for now! YB: Please, don't forget the kind editor in this story. Meril: * laughs * See you guys in the next chapter!!!
