By the end of the day, Stori had already met all of Joey's friends. (Mainly: Tristin, Yugi, Tea, and Ryou.)

Stori sighed as she stretched her arms. Yugi and the others had decided to walk her home since they thought she might get lost on hr first day. But as they got down the road a ways, Stori spotted someone up a head. It was Seto.

"Hey, who's that?" she asked, pointing to him. Of coarse she knew he was one of the people in her class, and of coarse she still thought he was kind of cute, but the only problem was: she didn't know his name! (A/N: remember people, Stori is from America. So she doesn't know about all of the big shots in Japan.)

"Oh, him? That's Seto Kaiba, you wouldn't want to mess with him," Yugi said.

"Yeah! We call him 'money-bags'," Joey retorted, smirking Seto's way. Stori blinked.

"'Money-bags'?" she said aloud. She had meant to say it in her head, but as you can see, she didn't.

"Cause he's rich! God knows why he's walking home today. He usually rides home in his limo," Tea said looking entirely bored on the subject.

Stori looked back up Seto's way and blinked. I guess it's safe to say they obviously don't like him. Guess that means he's not big on them either, Stori thought to her self. She sighed again.

Once she was home, she waved good-bye to her friends and went up-stairs. She hadn't been given any homework since she was still new to this…and she didn't understand some of the writing as well.

Moving all the way to Japan had really taken it out of her, although she knew the language as if it was her first language. And to add onto that, she had taken Japanese lessons all through middle school. So she was more then confident she knew what she meant whenever she spoke to her friends and teachers in Japanese.

Unfortunately, in her house…the still spoke American, so sometimes she would mess up and accidentally say something in English while she was talking. She even once had completely read something in English in front of her friends in study hall today, even though it was written in Japanese. How or why she had done so was beyond her.

When Seto got home he immediately went up to his room to work. He had too much to do to worry some stupid homework that he knew he could do in less then a minute, depending on what it was. In his mind, there was nothing the teachers could throw at him that would make Seto Kaiba worry.

(The next day)

"Okay class, time to announce your new project," said Seto's science teacher happily. She smiled at the class as she spun around and got out the papers to hand.

Random moans and groans came from the students in the class…all of them, except Seto. He was used to this by now and to tell you the truth, he really didn't care. He could have it done before anyone anyways…so why would he bother.

The woman-teacher danced (not physically) around her desk and started to hand the first paper to the student in front of her. But then she stopped and took it back up saying, "whoops! Silly me! I forgot to tell you all: This is a partner project! And before I hand out your project subjects, I'll pair you up!"

This, however, did get Seto's attention. Last time he did a partner project, in fact every time he did one, he was usually paired up with someone who was too lazy to even get on the internet and look up the subject, so he ended up doing the whole thing and getting an 'A' anyways. Seto rolled his eyes. He had also been paired up with Wheeler of all people last time. He prayed that would happen again.

"Yugi and Joey," said the teacher, Seto sighed slightly.

"Tea and Tikishi…and finally: Seto and Stori," the teacher said happily before putting the paper down to see half the class smiling happily as well, due to them being partnered with the people they wanted too. Seto however…was not as happy.

I get partnered with the new girl? Seto thought giving the girl a glare, though she wasn't really paying any attention to him.

While Stori was busy rummaging her thoughts for random things to keep her occupied, she heard her name being called, "And finally: Seto and Stori." She blinked out of her thoughts. Seto and herself? For what?

Suddenly she remembered her teacher mentioning the word "partner" and "project". Stori's eyes grew wide. That only meant one thing: She and Seto where to be partners. She sighed.

Another day…another problem, she thought.

But jus think! You get to work with the cutey, said the voice in the back of her head. She flushed and blinked in surprise at what she had jus thought.

After her mom and sister had gotten home last night, she had begun to think a little bit harder on how she thought of Seto Kaiba. Once she had thought about, he wasn't really all that handsome as he looked. OR as sweet: she had seen him go off on a poor fool that had tried to pick a fight with him. She laughed quietly. All though she thought it funny to see him squirm she still thought it was mean too.

Sigh I guess either way, I'm going to be working with Kaiba on this. Lucky me, she thought bitterly. She now really didn't care for Seto much.

"Oh you are so lucky!" said her friend. Her name was Lana Kenosha, a neighbor that lived in her neighborhood. (A/N: duh! Sorry guys I couldn't think of anything.)

That's what you think, Stori thought as she smiled at her friend.

Lana was one of Seto's 'fans' and she had a major crush on him…along with some major priorities that really needed to be sorted out in Stori's mind.

Lana was much like Stori. They both agreed on the same stuff, mostly; they both liked the same kind of music; they both where somewhat punk looking, not to be mistaken with gothic; and they both where both book worms. The only thing they didn't agree on: where guys. She liked all of those hot muscular guys that had a lot of bronze and not a lot of brains. But Stori liked those guys, not the nerdy, computer nerd, heck no. She liked the ones with good looks and good grades. After all, who would want a stupid boyfriend?

Probably that Tea person, she thought with a laugh, HAHA, I bet that stupid cheerleader does nothing but show off her ass for the guys!

"Stori? Hello? Are you listening to me," asked her friend, while waving her hand in front of Stori's face.

"Huh? Oh, no," she giggled.

"Ha ha, very funny, Stori. Now please listen to my jealousness," Lana said. Stori rolled her eyes. "Now as I was say-," but Lana stopped. This time Stori waved her hand in front of Lana's face. But Lana just pointed down the hall with her mouth agape.

Stori followed her gaze to see what Lana was looking at with awe. When she saw, however, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lana was looking at Seto. And yet all he was doing was getting books out of his locker, and yet, Lana thought of it as a day at the spa!

When Seto had finished putting his things away in his locker a string of laughter caught his attention.

He looked around his locker door to see Stori standing there laughing at something she obviously thought was funny. And when Seto looked over to the girl beside he understood why.

Oh god! It's her, Seto thought looking at Lana. Lana suddenly snapped out of her little trance and flushed at the sight of him looking back at her. She then grabbed Stori by the hand and dragged her down the hall. Stori stopped laughing then and just followed her friends' footsteps back down the hall.

Seto rolled his eyes. Like he had thought before: it was like there was no escaping this girl. She was in three of his classes, they lived not four blocks away form eachother, and they saw eachother at lunch every single time! Seto sighed deeply.

This school is going to be the death of me, he thought. He couldn't even imagine what would happen in that girl was in the same house as him. He'd probably blow something.

Then he remembered science class. He was going to have to be in the same house as her! They had a project to work on.

Oh! What the f-, he stopped himself from going that far. Then something inside of him clicked.

If Stori was going to be coming over to the Kaiba Mansion for work then that meant that she was going to have to come right after school! Great, less time for him to work.

All though, said a voice in his head, this would give you plenty of time to get to know this new girl a little bit better. After all…she's not like most girls. Seto rolled his eyes.He had to admit, this was true. But he knew he didn't want to.

Tehe! End! Muhaha…ah that's getting old! Cries why is it that it is no longer funny to leave it on a cliffhanger? Ah well
