Chapter 8
School was finally over, at least till the colored leaves of September. But the gang didn't cared at all, running out screaming and hooting with the exception of Anzu, and taking off their blue blazers, swinging them in the air. The girl smiled. Though she wasn't as wild and carefree as her friends were, her mind was calling out a party inside.
"YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE SCHOOL, NO MORE HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!" Jounouchi was screaming the most. It was in his playful, goofy nature of his. As well as being hot-headed and reckless with decisions, but who cares at a joyous time like this?
Their report cards were neatly tucked in their leather schoolbags. Everyone had average grades, and Yugi was relieved that he didn't anything have lower than a C in history. Seto was slowly watching the four, waiting to cross the street, frowning. He didn't understand the great needs to scream at school ending since it was going to come back in a short 3 months, but his sapphire eyes went to Anzu, the only calm one of the group.
'I wonder how does she puts up with her friends. Don't they give her a headache?' He found himself suddenly fawning over the girl as he had done so, over that past few weeks, and cursed at himself for thinking such thoughts. Seto had resorted to walking to his company for the last few days. The new female chauffeur he had hired, since his old one wanted to retire early and get his pension, was overly annoying, and chatted non stop, more than Anzu. She was born in the States, an American breed Japanese, so she didn't knew about Seto much; about his personality and behavior so she was trying to flirt with the guy, in hopes of getting a new, and famous boyfriend, plus a HUGE increase in pay. Plus he can use some exercise.
Walking down the street, Seto looked back oftenly at Anzu. She appeared to be talking to Yugi, face to face, not in a group chat like her other friends were doing. He felt a knot twist in his heart. How come he never felt like this before back in the Duelist Kingdom and when he made Yugi duel him after he beaten Sugoroku. Why?? And why did Anzu stopped Yugi from attacking his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, when she could have let her friend win to save his grandpa and let him die, since he was her enemy. Questions popped up in his mind. He couldn't answer them at all.
'Why do I have to feel this way?! Stupid emotions.......'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Anzu watched from her window as raindrops dropped from the former sun- filled sky, on to the air conditioner and her window sill, creating a pitter-pattering sound. Everybody was all going to go to a fast food joint to eat, gossip and hang out, but the intense humidity must have created too much moisture in the air, when dark thunderclouds filled up the sky. The group all ran to their homes, running through muddy puddles and soggy grass. Anzu's brown loafers were all coated with mud, no thanks to Honda who slammed his foot down hard onto a nearby puddle, while he was running by her, creating a splash sensation. She was bored. She had looked at her report card many times, and left it lying by her dusty computer, her schoolbag on top of it, the latch opened wide. Her mind decided to wander about the things that had happened in the last few weeks.
'Well........Jounouchi had gotten new cards........Honda's still trying to get Miho(girl Honda liked but english version never showed) and he still doesn't have any luck trying.......Yugi failed another history test.......Seto.......where he came from' From out of nowhere the baka's name appeared in her head making Anzu annoyed. She didn't ever want to have something to do with him again; egotistical jerks did not belong in her life, but worried thoughts for him approached her. It was true he had done a lot of various unforgivable things to her friends, but his past.........there was a lot of trauma done to the poor teen, losing his parents and everything, and Anzu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. But he remembered how cruel he was towards her, coming back to her in a flash........
~ ~ Flashback ~ ~
"Why is it that you're always so.........I don't know.......why are you always so buried into work and computers? Don't you ever want to enjoy life as a normal teenager, while you still are one? Hang out with all the other people?............Make some friends?"
"Have I ever told you not to stick your nose into other people's business?"
"You know Seto, no man is an island, that means no matter how much you think you could just pass through life supporting only yourself, everybody must have some kind of friend. Even the most selfish, the most cruelest, or the most socially awkward have friends. I mean, your parents don't even teach you this stuff. Are you this secluded from the world? Or are you just trying to prove something?"
Parents. That word struck Seto like a dagger, straight into his heart full of confusion and hurt, the heart he had closed up to the world a long time ago.
"Why don't you just shut up!" He screamed at the teenager, infuriated.
She flinched. She felt hurt, and wished she should have just shut her mouth the whole time.
"I'm sor-sor-ry."
~ ~ End Flashback ~ ~
Anzu was still stung by the conversation. She totally disagreed with the saying, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me"; it was too stupid a phrase to be invented and really against the situation she was facing.
'But still, why was he nice to me on that day..........I made him angry at him, so he should have been ignoring me or something. And he just did it.........'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Working at his laptop computer on his desk, he growled in frustration. Seto couldn't concentrate at all and instead kept on putting bunch of nonsense into his computer scripts. He closed it and slammed his left fist into the wooden desk in anger.
"I can't stop thinking about her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see her face everywhere, even in my work!!!!!!! Is it what my heart says true: that I actually like Anzu, my nemesis' friend????????"
TBC.......(thought I should write it, many people picking it up these days)
A/N: too angsty for you guys??? Yea if it is, it's due to the fact I still hadn't recovered from my first flame. (read my reviews and you'll see what I mean) I am a pessimist anyway. This chapter I believe, is too freaking boring. I even got bored typing it!!!!!!!! (but at least it was better than all those 5 rewrites, cause of writer's block @_@) but please r/r, for the sake of reviewing my fics, and if I get more than 6 reviews maybe I'll get out of my slump more easier. Maybe. NO FLAMES, REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!! I already have trouble coping against one, but many???!!!!!! I'll die. X_X
