Seto got to school a tad bit earlier than he had hoped, regardless to the fact that he wished to sleep and would rather be late than anything else. But then again, it was best to be at school before everyone else got there and only the people who thought as he did about the hoards of people, being there with him.
He sighed and got out his laptop; he guessed it be best he went ahead and got something done for the days' project at Kaiba Corp. After all, if he got a heads start now, then he wouldn't have to be out as late as he was last night. (A/N: Seto usually only stays out till midnight or 11 o'clock, but he had no choice but to work late last night.)
As time flied and more and more people wondered into the school, Seto soon found that he had been working for quite sometime. He had gotten to school at exactly 7 o'clock, and homeroom ended at 8:03, (A/N: that doesn't seem that long to me --; also people, their homeroom begins at 7:56 and ends at 8:03, so he had till homerooms end to get stuff done…kind of…he has Mr. Yamatou first period.) he had only been working for 45 minutes now and the school was already starting to fill.
"Next turn to page 127, where you'll find an example of the problem on the other page," stated Seto's Calculus teacher. Seto rolled his eyes and went on back to what he was doing on his laptop. He hadn't really noticed it, but Stori, whom sat beside him, was trying her best to keep him and everyone else from noticing the white bandages on her hand.
Unfortunately for her, Seto sees all. (A/N: me exaggerating there.) The moment she tried to hide it under her large jacket, he had gotten the hint. Stori was one of those people who enjoyed the cool air, and her wearing her cotton jacket in a classroom was a sure sign of something being wrong.
Looks like our little punk friend was up late last night, he concluded as his mind turned back to the little clash she and him had last night, though he hadn't recognized her at all (thanks to her wearing the hat.) Question is…doing what?
Just as he thought this, the bell rang, symbolizing the classes end. Stori was one of the first people to get up and leave the room; he understood why, though he had no clue as to why he even cared about that little fact.
He sighed and shook the thought out of his head, gathered his things, and left for his next class. He didn't have time to worry about Stori being cut.
"Hey, Stori, wait up," Yugi called. Stori turned to face him"Oh, hey Yug," she said, fixing her jacket sleeve so it covered her left hand, but Yugi had already seen the bandage.
"How'd you cut your hand?"
"Yeah, how?" came a voice from behind; Stori and Yugi turned to see Joey and Tea walking up behind them.
"I-I was…cooking…that's all," she replied with a nervous smile, but they didn't notice it.
"What happened?" Tea asked worriedly.
"Nothing…just wasn't paying attention," and with that Stori left on to her next class. She had been right, she hadn't been paying attention when the cut happened…but that didn't mean it was her fault.
When lunch came along, Stori went straight over to the other side and exited out the opposite door to get to the coffee vending machine, but stopped as soon as she got out there. Seto was already there getting some. She felt her blood turn to ice in her veins as she tried to take a step forward.
She gulped quietly to herself and tried her best to walk around him, hoping he wouldn't turn around any time soon. ( She's still wearing her jacket, though she's about to burn up, well past boiling point. One reason why she went right to the hall without a word to anyone.)
"What where you doing out late last night, Stori?" came a chilling voice. Stori froze in place and slowly turned to see Seto giving her a slightly amused look.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," she struggled not to panic or show any sign of panic.
"You are the worst liar, Stori. Funny, I suspected you would be a rather good one," Stori knew what he meant by that; she let her eyes glaze over as she pushed past him and started to get her coffee.
Even after a couple of minutes had past and she had already gotten her coffee, Stori stood in silence and Seto just stood there waiting for her to say something, letting his eyes cut deep into her back as he watched her.
Finally she moved and took her jacket off, lying on the bench beside her, revealing the white bandages that now covered the palm of her left hand.
"That's none of your business, Seto Kaiba. So don't bother asking again," she finally spoke to him, but she had spoke to him in a firm way. Seto got the point; there was no reason to irritate the matter any longer…
Sike…he thought. This is too much fun.
"I believe it is my business, since you where the one who ran into me," he said slyly.
"I did not! You ran into me!" She snapped, turning and glaring at him.
"Okay, so I ran into you, but it's still my business; after all, you wouldn't have to wear the heavy jacket all the time if you hadn't been out so late," he said, the sly look still being on his face.
"Hey! I had no choice! I had practice!" Stori let her hands fly to mouth as soon as she finished this sentence. Seto smirked at her.
Stori turned and left the scene in a hurry…she didn't care that she had left her jacket behind. She couldn't believe she had just said that.
Practice huh? Interesting…End! Haha! I am finally finished! Dang that took a while! Well I hope you liked it guys. R#R please.
