Yay! Another chappie! ^^ Thanks to redkite1019 for the spell check! I
wrote Chp 2 so fast that I really didnt pay attention. ^^; Kaiba... got it!
Oh! I KNOW Spirit Week normally happens before Homecoming but for the sake
of the story I put it after.
~~~~ means dreams
Cupids the One to Blame
Chapter Three
"Shakespeare is Out to Get Me"
The next week the events from homecoming were still clawing away at Jou's sanity. Nevertheless he tried to keep his cool, even when he passed Kaiba in the hall on his way to first, second AND third period. If I have to see him one more time, he thought, my mind is going to explode! He growled and took his seat, expecting yet another hour of Romeo and Juliet notes, discussion and blah. He watched his peers, which included Yuugi and Anzu, file into class and take thier seats. He sighed boredly and read the whiteboard,expecting the same old crap. Instead, though, he found a list labled "Spirit Week." Underneath it was the following:
Tuesday- Jammies Day
Wednsday- 80's Day
Thursday- Opposite Day
Friday- School Colors Day
Jou's day just got darker. Spirit week sucked and he knew that his teachers took off grade points if you didnt participate. Jou groaned and laid his head on the desk. Yuugi must have noticed his distress as he sat in the seat behind him.
"Are you okay?"
"Peachy, just peachy." Jou grumbled.
"Jou." Yuugi used his name as a demand.
He pointed a finger in the general direction of the board
"Spirit Week?"
"Grr."
"Its not THAT bad this time, 80's day sounds cool."
Jou turned and glared at him
"Or not..." Yuugi gulped. "Jou, is there something else that's-"
Yuugi didnt get a chance to finish his sentance, thier English teacher had walked in, his usual Lit book crammed under his arm.He looked about as cheerful as Jou felt.
"We're reading Act 2 in its entirety." Came the announcement that sent everyone into a dramatic whine. "Wah." The teacher imitated as the class got out thier texts.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jou stood at the balcony of the apartment that he and his father shared. His elbows rested on the railings that were still wet from the rain earlier. He sighed,watching the darkened city in silence.
"What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I feel so wierd around him? Damn it, I don't have feelings for Seto! Kaiba! Grr... Why does he have to be such a fuckin' asshole?... Anything else just wouldn't be him... I don't think I'd like him to change... Damn it! Why does this have to be so hard?!"
"Because that's how love is, Katsuya." Came a voice from the street below.
" What the?" Jou jumped a little, startled. " Who's there? Why're you callin' me that?!"
"It's your name isn't it, pup.But of course it seems you have enough trouble figuring out others names" came the voice again as the speaker stepped into veiw.
"Kaiba!" Jou cried angrily. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"I could ask the same of you."
He looked away, blushing embarassedly. " You have no right to be here."
"Actually, there is one."
"Huh?"
"The right of love."
"I don't know what you're talking about. You're crazy."
"You are just as insane as I."
Silence fell between them. Could Kaiba be right about this? Could he really be falling for him?
~~~~~~~~~~~
"JOUNOUCHI KATSUYA!!!!!!!"
Jou yelped and fell out of his seat. The class erupted into laughter, except for the old man who looked like he was about to pound the crap out of him. He looked up at him from his new spot on the floor.
"Sleeping in class, again Mr. Jounouchi. Detention, after school."
Jou sighed. This week sucks so bad already!
