Chapter Two: Mr.Kaiba or Master Kaiba?

As Kaiba entered homeroom, Mandy was already there. Kaiba watched her as he made his way to his seat, which happened to be right next to Mandy's.

She was using her laptop and typing at a fast and pacing speed. She noticed him right away and gave him the daily report as always.

"Good Morning Mr.Kaiba." said Mandy. Kaiba only replied "Likewise Henderson." Mandy's face was still glued to the screen when Kaiba finally sat down. She immediately stopped typing and reached into her black leather briefcase and pulled out a color Compaq PDA.

It was quite expensive but with the pay she got from Kaiba, she saved enough money to get it in no time. The laptop happened to be one of Kaiba Corps personal notebooks. She however received it when she became Mr.Kaiba's personal assistant at Kaiba Corps.

She had only been working there for a year but she did an excellent job. She had never failed to complete any tasks that Mr.Kaiba had given her.

Indeed, she always addressed Kaiba as 'Mr.Kaiba'. Whenever she was at his mansion, she always addressed Kaiba as 'Master Kaiba'. It was a requirement for her to do so and she rarely addressed him as Kaiba. It was Mr.Kaiba or Master Kaiba. It was the same for Mokuba. Whenever she was at the mansion, she always called him 'Young Master Kaiba'. Mokuba always urged Mandy to call him as Mokuba but she wouldn't. It was required that she addresses him as her master. And yet, she never complained.

Kaiba was always slightly amused at her behavior. It almost makes her seem like she was programmed to do so. She rarely ever saw her with any emotions. Heck, he never saw her with emotions. He knew she was dedicated to her work as much as he was. Although sometimes, he had a feeling something was wrong with her. Not that way. It's just that it seems that she didn't have a good childhood as well.

He himself didn't grow up with a perfect life. He was adopted at the age of seven along with his little brother Mokuba. His stepfather was harsh. His stepfather was determined to make Seto perfect and tough to take over as the CEO of Kaiba Corporation. His stepfather died from falling out of Kaiba Corps building. He became the CEO after that incident. He was never the same.

Everyone thought he had the perfect life. He had everything that anyone could ask for except for one thing. Parents. Parents to love and be there for him. He envied everyone who even had parents who cared for them.

He saw her turn to face him with her PDA. She clicked on to a few files and then opened the schedule. His schedule. She kept staring onto the screen looking at today's schedule and spoke up.

"Mr.Kaiba, after school when you pick up Young Master Kaiba, you have a 4 o'clock meeting with the CEO of Cybiko Corporation. At 5 o'clock, you must return to Kaiba Corporation to test out the latest duel disk system. At 7 o'clock, it is the annual ball. All CEO's must be there. You may invite a guest to escort you as well. The ball will end at midnight. It is also required you must dress as formally as possible, which means you must wear either suits, tuxedos, or ball gowns. No exceptions."

Kaiba cocked his eyebrow and smirked. Obviously, she must be out of breath by now. He knew well enough that she was used to it since she has done this everyday. By now, she got the hang of it.

"Do you have a gown then?" asked Kaiba. Mandy lifted her head slightly and stared in confusion. "I beg your pardon, Mr.Kaiba?" Kaiba only looked at her with frustration. "I'm asking you if you have a gown for the ball tonight?" Her gaze was quite readable. He understood what she wanted to ask. 'Why does he want me to come with him?' He replied with an astringent voice. "Don't get me wrong here Miss. Henderson. I only need you there to take down any important things for my schedule. It's your job. Remember?" Her expression was provoked.

He could easily tell that she was pissed off. Still, she chooses to ignore it. Her job was more important. Sometimes, it made him think that she values her job more than her pride. Maybe he was right. It seems like it anyway.

"You still didn't answer my question Henderson." She gave a quick nod indicating that she does have a decent gown to wear. She wanted to talk back to him very badly but she didn't dare risk it. She would never endanger her job in anyway.

The bell was about to ring so the class was flowing with students. Kaiba was in his seat reading his novel as always. Like they say, some things never change. Mandy however was still glued to her laptop. Mandy and the laptop were practically inseparable. No one really knew what she was doing. Everyone assumed she was just working.

Surprisingly, Kaiba wasn't exactly concentrating on his novel. He practically read it three times so there was no point in reading it again but his novel was the only thing that keeps him from boredom. He watched Mandy from the corner of his eye.

Mandy seemed engrossed to her work especially to what she was typing at the moment. She hadn't even noticed that Kaiba was watching.

Lost in thought again. One of her life long dreams was right on her computer screen. She was typing up her novel called "Overrated". Sometimes, she always did wonder why she did she choose that title. It just came to her mind and it just clicked. She always wanted to publish her own novel and sell it for others to read. She always wanted romance in her life but she knew that in reality, love is overrated. Although, she wished or at least hoped that romance is not overrated.

She was up to chapter 11 and she was about to go to a climax until the bell rung. Sadly, she still hadn't thought of an ending. The climax was as far as she had gone. She sighed and deposits her laptop into her leather briefcase.

Their first class was English Language Arts (ELA). Their professor, Mrs. Pizza (Pe-za) entered the room with a huge grin plastered on her face. A couple of the students gulped at the sight. They knew that she must have planned something for them. And it's something that they wouldn't like at all.

TBC... That's all for now. By the way, for those of you who are in my 8th grade class, you'll understand why I used Mrs. Pizza as one of my characters in the next chapter. =)
