---------------Cleo's Room: Cleo's POV------------
I logged off AOL and shut off the computer. I slipped on a white Roxy sweatshirt over my black tank top. I walked out of my room and went downstairs. Seto was too busy to eat again and Mokuba had already eaten. He was in his room playing games. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a Maruchan Ramen Noodle Instant Lunch cup. I put a mug of water into the microwave and heated up the water. When it was done, I poured the water into the soup cup then waited a minute before eating it. I grabbed chopsticks and sat on one of the couches in the Entertainment Room. I flicked the giant-screen TV on and watched a Godsmack concert. I was alone. I was cold. I was bored as hell. I needed something to do! I thought all of these things as I slurped on my noodles. I wished that I had someone to spend time with—to be able to be myself with—someone who would care about me. A boyfriend... A best friend. Anyone! I slurped on my noodles in my depression. Seto is always.... So busy... And I'm lonely. Mokuba always seems to be helping Seto with the corporation. I rarely speak to him anymore. We live under the same roof for god's sake!!! I swear! Who do I have to KILL to get some attention?!
--------Meanwhile Upstairs: Seto's POV--------
I honestly feel like a stalker.... Watching her like this. Security cameras seem to be the only way I see her without stalling my work. She looks so bored—So alone. I wish I could get the chance to at least say more than two sentences to her. I'm not going to ask her to come up here though. What do you take me as? I'm not a desperate loser, thank you. Perhaps if she was bored enough she would come up to see what I'm up to. But I'm not going to wait around. I have work to do.
------Downstairs: Cleo's POV-------
I feel like I'm being watched when I'm in this room... There's probably a security camera. Knowing Seto he has them where you least expect. I finished my noodles and put the empty cup in the garbage and the maid took my chopsticks away. I walked up the stairs and reached my door... I looked down the hall both ways to make sure no one was coming and I went over to Seto's Office door and pressed my ear against the door. I heard a female A.I. voice and keys on a computer keyboard being hit. I decided to knock on the door.
"Seto? Can I come in?" I said in a normal tone.
"The door is open." I heard him say. I twisted the handle and walked in. I closed the door behind me and locked it (a habit I picked up after the little bust-in from my friends). "Hello Cleo." He said as he paused in his work.
"Oh, you must be busy so I'll just—..."
"No, it's alright. I was about to take a break anyway." He responded. I sat on the desk. He glared at me. "Please get off my desk."
"Would you rather I sit on the arm of your chair? Or you perhaps?" I mused as I got off the desk. He gave me an icy stare. "Don't be that way." I sat on the armrest of his chair. He looked at me again—unreadable. I really felt the need to give him a hug. Maybe I should. I stood. "Stand up."
"Why?"
"Please?"
"Fine." He stood. I hugged him. He seemed shocked. "What are you--..."
"I really needed that..." I said quietly as I let go of him.
"What was that, huh?" He snapped. "Who said you could touch me?" I looked at him.
"Friends do that sometimes. You should be a little more like Jason."
"What did you need a hug for?" he snapped again.
"I'm alone all day! You can at least give me a hug to make me feel a little better. Mokuba gives me hugs."
"That's because Mokuba is a child. I am not."
"No, it's because Mokuba knows how to be a friend." He stared at me, searching for a comeback. I left the room before he could think. I walked down the hall to Mokuba's room. I knocked. "Mokuba?" He opened the door. He smiled up at me.
"Hi Cleo!" He gave me a hug. "What's up? Want to go to the park?"
"Okay! Sounds like fun. Want me to call Yugi and have him bring the others?"
"Okay." So he got his sneakers and sweatshirt that he tied around his waist. He pulled on his sneakers and was ready to go. I called Yugi.
"Hello?" I heard his grandpa say on the other end.
"Hello. It's Cleo. Is Yugi there?"
"Yes he is. Hold on a moment Cleo." He said.
"Ok." I heard Yugi's grandpa yell for Yugi and I heard Yugi run downstairs and pick up the cordless phone. As always.
"Hello?" I heard Yugi say.
"Hey Yugi! Mokuba and I are going to the park then to the mall—want to come?"
"Sure. Want me to call the others?"
"Yes Please. We'll meet you in the park."
"Okay see you then Cleo!"
"Bye." I clicked the phone off. I looked at the anxious ten year old. "I have to call Jason."
"Okay!" He said. I knew that Mokuba wanted to meet Jason. I dialed Jason's cell phone number.
"Hey Cleo." I heard him say.
"Hi Jason! Can you meet Mokuba and I at the park? Yugi and the others are gonna be there. Then we're all going to the mall."
"Okay cool. See you then." He said. We hung up.
"Let's go to the park." I said. We both walked downstairs and got in my car. We drove to the park.
