With Baby in Mind - Chapter Seven
disclaimer: see prologue
Amara and Seiya met the other girls - minus Raye- once they arrived at the school and they got Seiya registered together. They were soon surrounded by a group of awed fangirls as they made their way to first class.
Seiya sat down at the desk the teacher assigned him, right between Amara and Serena. 'Great. Two distractions,' he thought, putting his chin in his hand.
Amara took her seat and pulled out her books. She was doing work two years ahead of the rest of the class, but had requested to be in the same class as Serena and the other girls so she could protect her princess. She was a genius like Amy was, but had requested that her true marks weren't shown so Amy could have the spotlight for intellegence.
"What'cha doin'?" Seiya asked as he looked over at Amara's work. His eyes widened when he saw what was in her notebook. "I saw Meatball's work and the class isn't doing this stuff," he said softly so nobody else could hear.
"I know," Amara said, her voice just as soft as his. "This is the work the students two years ahead of this class is doing."
Seiya's eyes widened. "Wow!" he said, looking at Amara with new respect. "If you're doing work so far ahead of this class, why are you here?"
"I'm here to protect Kitten," Amara replied. "I requested that I be put in the class a year behind my own."
"They let you do that?" Seiya asked in disbelief.
Amara nodded. "All it took was a generous "donation" to the school and my request was granted. Money is a wonderful thing."
Seiya couldn't believe that Amara had actually bribed the school to let her stay behind a year. 'She is very dedicated to protecting Serena. And she must be rich too if she could bribe the school,' he thought.
*************************
The rest of thet school day passed uneventfully for Seiya. He went to all his classes and recieved a ton of work that he needed to do to catch up with the rest of the students in the classes, got drooled on by hordes of adoring fangirls and spent a lot of his time trying to figure out his feelings for Serena and Amara.
"That's a lot of homework Seiya. Are you sure you can get it all done by tomorrow?" Serena asked when she saw the pile of books and assignment sheets the handsome Starlight carried. When Seiya nodded, she looked doubtful.
"My hostess has kindly offered to help me with all of this," Seiya said, winking at an outraged looking Amara.
"I did no such thing," Amara said, glaring at Seiya. She wasn't really mad at him and had been planning on offering her help later when they were at home. She knew he was just teasing her but couldn't let the others see her treat Seiya any differently than she usually did. She did have an image to maintain after all.
"But you will help him, won't you?" Serena asked anxiously. She cared about all of her friends and didn't want to see Seiya get in trouble the next day because he hadn't been able to do all the work assigned him.
"If you want me to Kitten, I will," Amara replied. "But what about you? Will you be able to do your homework?" she asked Serena.
Serena blushed. "I'll do my best," she said.
Amara looked down at Serena and smiled. "Why don't you come home with me and I'll help you with your homework?" she offered.
"You will?" Serena asked eagerly. She liked it when Amara helped her with her homework. She had a way of making it easier for Serena to understand the work than Amy or Darien did.
Amara nodded. "We've just got to pick Hotaru up first."
Serena and Seiya followed Amara to the car after Serena had explained to the others why she wasn't going to the study group at Raye's temple.
"What are we going to do about supper though?" Seiya asked as the two Outers and Serena and Seiya headed back to the Outers' house.
"Trista left us some food already premade," Hotaru said. "All we have to do is heat it up."
Serena and Seiya sighed with relief when they heard that they weren't going to starve.
Once they reached the house, Amara, Serena and Seiya all pulled out their homework and set to work on it, Hotaru disappearing into her room to do hers.
A couple hours later, after all the homework had been finished, supper had been eaten and video games had been played, Amara drove Serena home, leaving Seiya to watch Hotaru.
"You care about her, don't you?" Hotaru asked as Seiya watched Amara and Serena drive away from the living room window.
"Who?" Seiya asked, turning to look at Hotaru.
"Amara-papa," Hotaru replied. "You care about her. I can see it in your eyes."
"I'm not sure how I feel about her. But I do like her. And you can't tell anybody I told you that," Seiya said hastily.
"I won't tell," Hotaru said. She smiled up at the handsome Starlight. "You and she are very much alike. Both wild and free and too scared to admit how you feel to anybody."
Seiya watched as Hotaru walked back into her room, wondering just how much the younger girl had seen and heard since he'd arrived.
