Chapter 1: Surprises and thoughts?
Standing in the rain, he waited there in silence. Puddles of water falling onto the soft bridge-wood underneath him. He stared at the clouds, in the spot where the moon should have been that night.
He wore no coat. No hat; nothing to keep him from getting drenched in the rain. But he simply didn't care. His mind was focused on something, but what was beyond him, himself.
The lightning streaked across the sky, just as he turned his head and looked over at his side.
What are you looking for?
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm clock sounded. Interrupting him from his dream.
He heard footsteps, and then someone opening his bedroom door. "Hey bro, you awake?" chimed a familiar voice. It was Mokuba.
"Yeah," the young man answered.
"Well you better hurry, Seto! We're already close to late as it is," Mokuba said looking at his watch. Seto shot out of bed and immediately began getting dressed. How could he have slept in so late?
While he was rushing to get dressed he looked at his alarm clock, which was still going off by the way, and saw that it was now 7:53…he had 20 minutes to get to school. Seto sighed. This hadn't been the first time he had slept in. He was working on a new project for KaibaCorp. And, as you may see, it was completely draining him dry.
As he got down stairs and started out the door with Mokuba close behind, his mind suddenly turned to his dream. It had been years since he had had that dream. But yet…this was the furthest he had ever gotten in the dream too. The last time he dreamt that, was the night that Gozaboru, his stepfather, had gone missing. After that, he never saw of it again…until now.
After dropping Mokuba off, Seto headed off towards Domino High. It was close to the holidays and not long after that Spring Break would be here, so he would have plenty of time to-
Skeeeert! The car jumped to a stop. Seto gasped. "Hey! What's the big idea, Mr. Womattah?" He shouted at the driver, who looked pale enough as it was.
"I-I'm sorry, sir. But someone ran out in front of us," he managed to spit out. Seto wrinkled his nose in disgust. What moron would run out in front of a car on a green light? Idiots! Now I'm going to be late, Seto thought bitterly.
As the car continued on driving down the street, Seto thought what he saw was his schools girls uniform flash by as they speeded past. A school student possibly? If so, then it was more than likely that they were going to meet in the office. Seto smirked. The perfect amount of time to submit revenge on the fool who had made his late to school. After all, this was Seto's last warning before he got detention. He could no long be late any more.
As Seto pulled up to the school and got out of the limo, he noticed that indeed, the student had been a girl that went to his school. But as he saw her walk up to the double doors he noticed something. In all his time at Domino High, he must have seen almost every girl in the school. (Only cause most of them drooled over him) but unless this girl had dyed her hair and had gone punk, he hadn't seen her before. But then again, there were a lot of girls in the school, and she could be anyone. But other than that one thought, he never paid much attention to it. He simply went along his business and continued on his way to homeroom.
"Alright class, settle down. We have a lot to cover," said the teacher. Seto rolled his eyes. After he had gone to the office, Seto had managed to just barley make it into the room before homeroom was over. So he wasn't exactly late at all. Instead of using up his last warning, he gained one more. Though no one really actually noticed, let alone cared.
But something still troubled Seto. For some reason that girl kept coming back to his mind, why though, it was beyond him. Seto shook it out of his thoughts and went back to working on some papers he was calculating and working on for KaibaCorp.
Suddenly, Seto had been asked to answer a question on the board. No matter what Mr. Yamatou threw at him, he would always get it right in the end. And despise the fact that he had been a couple of minutes late; again, no one really seemed to notice.
Mr. Yamatou was Seto's Calculus teacher, and in Seto's mind, an ignorant fool. Half the time Seto knew more than the teacher did, Seto did more work the damned fool most of the time, and got everything right all the time. So to him, this class was both pointless and a waste of him time.
So due to the class being down right lame, he opened his Laptop and began to work on KaibaCorp. He considered this class as kind of a…second study hall.
By the time it had been 20 minutes into the class, Seto was already working hard and not paying the least bit of attention to the teacher…that was until…
Knock! Knock! Knock! The noise had kind of made Seto jump, though he refused to show it. Seto averted his gaze from the Laptop and looked up to the front of the class. And there, Mr. Yamatou and someone else stood. That someone was the same girl he saw this morning. The idiot that almost made him late again. Seto sneered slightly and glared at the girl.
"Class, it seems we have a new student. Class, this young lady has just moved here all the way from America…meet Miss Porter," Mr. Yamatou said politely. The girl didn't say anything.
As usual, Yugi and the others tried to quietly re-arrange themselves so the girl could sit close to them. But they weren't the only ones. Some of the other girls shifted too. But no matter how much they shifted, there were always only four seats that weren't occupied. The three seats in the back…and the one in-between Seto and Joey. If she sat there, then she would be in front of Yugi and behind Tea. (Poor Tristin sat in the back, diagonal of Joey.) Which, unfortunately for Seto, that was were she sat. Beside him.
Seto shook his head; this was ridiculous. It was like there was no escaping this girl. But there was also and up side to this. At least he could get his revenge.
As the girl got herself comfortable, Seto saw Joey folding a paper note.
As the girl got her things out, a note suddenly appeared on her desk. She blinked and looked at it for a while before picking it up and opening it slowly, yet quietly so the teacher wouldn't hear. This is what it read:
Hey! My name is Joey, and I'm the one sitting beside you by the way, so… me and the others were wondering if you would like to sit with us at lunch? You know, to get to know eachother?
P.S.- write back…but be quick!
The girl blinked at the note. She turned her sapphire eyes towards Joey on her left who was already looking at her and smiling. She cracked a small smile back then wrote:
Sure…but what do you mean by "others?" There are others?
She flipped the note back and watched as Joey read it slowly. She was quite used to passing notes in class, she had done it in her last school and had never once gotten caught, and so she believed that this was going to be the same way.
Not long later she got a note back from Joey saying that by 'others' he meant Yugi, Tea, Tristin, and Ryou, whom he said wasn't in this class right now. Also in the note he wrote:
Oh yeah, by the way…what's your first name? 'Cause, I'm not too sure about you, but I wouldn't wan to be going around school all day gong as 'Miss Porter'…. Miss Porter lol
She rolled her eyes. And returned the note saying:
My name is Stori.
By the time Lunch time came Seto thought his head was going to explode by watching Joey pass notes to Stori. Although, she hardly answered. He was now even closer to beating up the dog more than he was before! He sighed and sat down at his table in the back. Hopefully now he would be able to get some work done, since he couldn't in Calculus or in any of his other classes, which he had to pay attention in.
While he was working he saw something pink flash by. He looked up to see Stori quickly walking past his table and exit the cafeteria. Seto's table was right by the EXIT doors, which led out into a hallway on the other side from the entrance. That was where the Coffee Machine was, the one he usually visited and hardly anyone else.
Thinking of this time as a perfect moment for a little annoying of his own, Seto got up and went out the door as well.
Joey sat down at the table beside Yugi and automatically began to talk. "Hey guys, I believe that I have gotten us a new friend," Joey said triumphantly. Everyone stared at Joey for a minute before Tristin began to laugh.
"Yeah right Joey. By the way she zipped out of here, it just looks like you annoyed her to death with all of your little 'love notes'," Tristin laughed. Tea and Yugi began to laugh as well.
"Hey! Can't you at least appreciate that I did somthin' good for once," Joey said, "Geesh!"
"It's alright Joey, we believe ya," Tea said. "So, did you ever learn her name?"
"Yeah, of coarse," Joey replied, "She said her name was Stori. Kind of funny if you ask me."
"I think it's a nice name," Tea retorted.
"Yeah, I think I'll have to agree with Tea on this one guys. I mean, how many people do you meet that are named 'Stori'?" said Ryou.
"Hands down," Yugi agreed.
"Yeah whatever," Tristin said, taking a large bite of his sandwich. "If you ask me, I think she's just another punk girl that blew into town. Give her a week or two, when she gets used to this place, and then you guys can watch her do cheerleading moves."
"Tristin! Don't be rude," Tea said, and she hit him on the head.
"Ow! Well it's true!" He complained, rubbing his head. "Just think on how many times we've tried to be friends with a new girl and how they've all ended up with another group of friends or have become apart of the prep-squad," Tristin pointed out.
Unfortunately, the group had to agree with him. There had been a lot of times that they had tried to become friends with a new person and it had just gone down hill for them from that point on. They sighed…all except Tea.
"Well I'm still going to invite her to hang out with us. No matter what sort of negative things you have to say Tristin!" Tea retorted, her head held up high in triumph. This lifted everyone's spirits and soon they were all smiling again. That was just like Tea to turn the tables on a negative situation…but every time she did so, she went through a friendship speech, which they all were pretty much sick of by now.
Stori stood in the hallway drinking her coffee in silence. She had prayed that she would make some friends like her on her first day, but the ones she had obviously made now were nothing like her. They were all talkative. But Stori was not one of those people who talked a lot. She was one of those people who mainly kept to themselves, and had few friends, though they still lived a naturally normal life.
Stori looked off to the side. All she wanted right now was some peace…and some time to think. But destiny obviously didn't have that in mind.
Stori's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a bottle or a can falling out of the vending machine. She turned quickly to see a rather tall and slender figure standing some feet away from her and getting some coffee for himself. Stori recognized him as the young man who was in three of her classes. He had neatly combed brown hair and ravishing icy blue eyes. He wore the boy's school uniform: a royal blue blazer with gold buttons that went from chest to waist, along with a pair of royal blue dress pants.
To her, she thought he was kind of cute, although she had never talked to guy himself…only sat beside him in calculus. (In all the other classes they had together, she either sat furthest away from him or she sat a few seats ahead.)
Stori cracked another tiny smile, and then let it fade away as she turned back to her thoughts. She was almost done with her coffee so she didn't have too much time to think things out strait…but as long as she made it last, then she was fine with it.
It wasn't anything special that she absolutely needed to think on, but to her, it was kind of important. She was thinking…on a dream that she had had last night
