HI! I've finally been inspired to write the 6th chapter of Tristan's
Biggest Mistake! I don't have much more to say except: hope you enjoy &
please review!
Serenity walked (or clung) down the stairs with a lump in her throat. This was the moment, but she felt like just running to the girl's bathroom and cutting classes for the rest of the day. She didn't know what he was going to think. She listed all the possible reactions and tried to decide which would be worst. Finally, she decided that his trademark 'wannabe' smirk would hurt most.
She wouldn't worry about any other guy, but here, she was dealing with Seto Kaiba. He was about as far from 'any other guy' as one could possibly be. He didn't seem to give girls a moment of his time. I mean, did he ever give a second thought? Her brother Joey seemed to think about nothing else some times. Mai, no duh.
She finally got to the tenth grade wing for third period. When she got to the door, she took a deep breath. She opened it and walked in. The students were just walking around and chatting. The 'popular girls' were sitting in their little in-crowd in the corner, spreading rumors like wildfire, as usual. She heard her name. The whole room was pretty typical. She looked around frantically. Finally, she saw him. Sitting in the corner, typing vigorously on the laptop that he carried with him everywhere. She walked over.
As she stepped up behind him, he turned around. His cold blue eyes met hers. Yes, they remained cold. He looked at her feet and traced her up. He smirked.
"So the rumors were true. The dog's little sister got a makeover." His words cut like knives. They stabbed her, and her self-esteem plummeted. He however, didn't seem to notice and went promptly back to typing. She walked away.
Sitting back at her desk, she thought that she was going to cry. How could he think of her this way? How could he say things like that? Wasn't he human too? Didn't he have a heart at all? She wondered all these things. Little did she know what he really thought.
He was human, and he had a heart for sure. A heart that was torn. He had lived through more than anyone should have to. He just didn't want his heart broken again. It had been shattered too many times. He wasn't going to put himself in a situation like that. It wasn't going to happen like that. If a heart wasn't given, it couldn't be hurt. If he had never loved anyone from the start, maybe things would be different. He could try telling her, but it wouldn't work. How could he expect her to understand? He had to continue to with cold remarks. He couldn't be in jeopardy of falling in love.
This class continued. Serenity was still on the verge of breaking down. She just sat at her desk. She didn't talk, and hardly moved. She was afraid that if she spoke, she was going to break down. Finally, the time came to switch classes. She ran into Mai on her way back to her locker.
"So, how'd it go?" Mai asked with a smile. Seeing the look on Serenity's face, her smile faded.
"Guess," Serenity said. Mai didn't even have to.
"I was afraid this was going to happen," Mai said, putting an arm around Serenity. "The make-up isn't waterproof, so you'll just have to tough it out. I'm really sorry. What did he say?"
"He said: 'The rumors were true. The dog's little sister got a makeover.'" Serenity said quietly.
"I see. His image of your brother interfered with his true feelings," Mai said. "This isn't fair, but if anyone told you life was fair, they were the biggest liar on Earth. Just hold your head up high. Maybe things will be different tomorrow."
Serenity nodded and switched her books. She walked to her next class. Another class she had with Tristan. Maybe he could make her feel better. He'd always been a real friend in the past. She walked on ahead. About halfway there, they met.
"Hi Serenity," Tristan said with a smile.
"Hi," she said, kind of glumly.
"What's up?" he said with some concern.
"Nothing much," she shrugged.
"Okay. See you in class," he said. After saying this, he ran up ahead to talk to Yugi. Yugi was the only one who hadn't commented on what she was wearing. That had been a relief.
****
Later, in class, she was doing a grammar quiz. She studied and studied, but she thought she was going to fail adverbs. Oh well. Could be worse. The teacher had left the room. Suddenly, a paper airplane hit her desk. She looked behind her. Tristan winked. She nodded, and opened it. Written in a blue pen were the following words:
What are you doing the Friday night? If you're not busy, wanna see a movie?
She wrote back 'Nothing. That would be cool.'. Refolding the airplane, she threw it back. She watched him open it and nod. She thought about what movie they might see. She also wondered who else he had invited. It would be fun to spend some time with friends.
Little did she know, she had just agreed to go alone. With Tristan. On a date.
****
Hopefully that came out the way I wanted it to. Again I say: please review!
