Welcome to my New Year's gift for you all. Three chappies all in one day!

(Seto POV)

Today I'm not going to say anything to that stupid girl. 'Cause everytime I do, I feel even more trapped. She's hard not to talk to, though.

-It's like I can't breathe/ It's like I can't see anything/ Nothing but you/ I'm addicted to you/ It's like I can't think/ Without you interrupting me/ In my thoughts/ In my dreams/ You've taken over me/ It's like I'm not me/ It's like I'm not me/-

"Kumi, it's nearly lunchtime. We've got to finish this lesson. If we don't, you can bet there'll be shukudai!" Another angry teacher, great.

But I'm half asleep anyway. I'll be glad when this waste of time is over. I don't even know why I bother to go to school, I don't have to get an education because I already know what I'll be doing in five years. Running my coorperation.

Ring, bring. Must be lunchtime. Great, how am I supposed to ignore that girl when she eats with me all the time? I guess I will have to stop talking to her.

Sitting by this tree again, I decide to eat lunch today. Maybe she won't question me if I act 'normal.' At least I hope she won't.

I take out my lunch, staring at the ground. Just as I start to believe she's going to leave me alone, she comes over and sits down.

Darn, here she is again. Leave me alone, Starfire. I think. But she isn't talking, and I'm kind of glad. At least she still sits with me.

She doesn't have her unusual food with her today. Instead, she has sushi. Is it me or is she 'kinda stereotype? Just because we leave in Japan, it does not mean all we eat is sushi.

But she seems to enjoy the food, and I think maybe she's had it in the U.S. before. It appears she is good with chopsticks. Apparently, she's had sushi before. I could never master those. Everytime I tried them, I ended up using a fork.

She continues eating, silently. It's driving me crazy that she's pretending she's alone. For the two days that I've known her, I have felt that she is different from most people. At least Starfire talked to me. Everyone else just assumed I wanted to be alone. But it's not true. I don't want to be alone in the world.
My brother listens. But he isn't always around. Especially in school. And when I get home, I don't tell him how I feel. I used to, but that was before I turned into what I am now.

There was once a time when I wasn't 'shallow' as some put it. I actually had friends, and no one excluded me. That soon changed, though. Running Kaiba Corp. has changed me. I am beyond saving.

She suddenly looks up. I notice her expression. It's as if she wants to talk, but she can't. Her eyes are settled on me. I know she thinks she can change me. But she just doesn't understand how worthless I am at this time.

I realize I'm looking at her too, and quickly turn away. I don't want her to see the blush that has found its way across my face. Even though I'm not looking at her, I can tell she's looking at me.

-I cannot find a way to describe it/ It's there inside/ All I do is hide/ I wish that it would just go away/ What would you do/ You do if you knew/ What would you do/-

When I turn back, she looks back to her lunch, slowly. I can't believe that I'm letting her get to me. I, Seto Kaiba, don't have feelings for anyone. She won't get to me.

-All the pain/ I thought I knew/ All the thoughts lead back to you/ Back to what/ Was never said/ Back and fourth/ Inside my head/ I can't handle this confusion/ I'm unable come and take me away/ I feel like I am all alone/ All by myself I need to get around this/ My words are cold/ I don't want them to hurt you/ If I show you/ I don't think you'd understand/ 'Cause no one understands/-

(Starfire POV)

I want to say something to Seto, but I can't because he's so cold. I don't want to be snapped at for asking a question. He does not care about anyone but gojishin. I don't care. If he wants it that way, he can have it that way.

But the urge to say something is too great. I have to speak, I'm not one to keep my emotions bottled up. And I need company more than ever, today I've been thinking about Robin.

"You are just like my old boyfriend. You don't care." I say. He looks up.

"I don't appreciate being compared to someone who sounds like a loser." he says simply.

"How would you know? You don't even know me. And you certainly do not understand me." I suddenly want to explode in emotions.

"No one understands me, and no one ever will. I'm just different, and not one person cares!" I shout, angrily. But there are tears brimming in my eyes.

Please, God, don't let me cry in front of him. He'll only think of me as a weakling. I think. I don't want to feel this way.

Suprisingly, he doesn't seem to be angry. In fact, his face suggests he's a little worried.

"Are you okay? Don't cry, everything will be fine." he says, touching my arm. But I shake him off.

"Why? Why should I listen to you? It's not as if you care. Leave me alone!" I yell at him.

He looks kind of upset. He drops his hand from my shoulder. I ease up, look at him. I think I have hurt him. I wipe the tears from my eyes and look down.

"Umm, I'm s-sorry. I didn't mean to push you away. It's just that...I have a lot on my mind right now. And it's really hard to know who to let in." I say softly.

Without looking up, he mumbles something. Then he says, "Shitsureishimashita. It was my fault, you're right. I don't know you." he sets his eyes on me and I can't help but smile.

"Would you like to?" I ask, grinning. He blushes slightly, then begins to say something. The bell rings, though, and it's time to go in.

-Why do you look so farmiliar/ I could swear that I have seen your face before/ I think I like that you seem sincere/ I think I'd like to get to know you/ A little bit more/ I think there's something more/ Life's worth living for/-

(Seto POV)

I guess that plan about ignoring Starfire didn't work. I'm sitting here in my limo with a huge grin on my face. It's because I think she actually likes me. "...I don't know you." "Would you like to?" our conversation keeps replaying itself in my mind. She's sweet to say sorry to me. Had it been anyone else, they would have walked away.

I don't exactly know for sure that she likes me, but I can only hope I will get to know her. Starfire, I'm actually finding, is pleasant to be with. Just thinking of her makes me smile.

I snap back to reality as the large car stops. I get out and open my own door. I grab my backpack and run into the house. Today I promised Mokuba I'd help him with his homework.

(Mokuba's POV)

"Shortie got down, and said come 'n get me! I got so caught up, I forgot she told me. Her and my girl used to be the best of homies!" I sing. Right now, I'm in the computer room listening to music and waiting for my brother to come home. He said he'd help me with my homework today.

"We want a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed!" I continue singing. Then I hear my brother come in.
"Hey, Big Brother, what does 'Lady in the street but a freak in the bed' mean?" I ask, I never understood that line.

"Uh...well...we'll discuss this when you're a little bit older, Mokuba." my brother, Seto, says, a blush growing on his face.
I shrug it off, thinking it's probably one of those 'Facts of Life' thingys. I glance at him.

"Ready to help me with my math?" I smile. He returns the gesture, then nods.

"Okay, what have we got? Multiplication? Division?"

"Algebra!" I answer proudly. Seto wrinkled a brow.

"Mokuba," he begins, "you are in the fifth grade, right?" he asks. I nod, unsure of where the conversation is going.

"Well then how come they don't just stick to the basics? I didn't start doing algebra until eighth grade." he said. Then, confused, he shakes his head and sits down.

Kumi- class

Shukudai- homework

Gojishin- himself, yourself, herself

Shitsureishimashita- Excuse me, I'm sorry.

:-P Yay! Now wasn't that fun? No? Well then, I guess I'll have kuichirasu. Just kidding, I won't messily eat everything. :-P
