Chapter 8
"Thanks Joey for driving me home" Camie said.
"Hey no problem" He replied
"I'll see you later" she said and went inside.
She looked at her clock. It read 1:15. 'I thought it was later' she said to herself. 'Better get to sleep'. She changed into her pajamas and went to sleep.
She awoke around 11:30ish and made breakfast. Camie then proceeded to take a shower and get ready. It was 12:30. 'Better get going, it's almost a half hour drive.'
She got on her motorcycle and headed off towards Kaiba's house. As she drove fewer cars were passing by and it was turning into more country than city. 'Jeez' Camie thought. 'He sure lives far off'.
After another five minutes she arrived at Kaiba's house. Except it wasn't a house. It was a huge mansion. 'Wow. This place is huge'.
She pushed the intercom and Mokuba's voice answered.
"Hello?" he asked
"It's Camie" she replied. "Can I come in?"
"Oh yeah, Seto said you'd be coming"
The gate open and Camie rode up to the house. She parked her bike as Mokuba open the door and led her to Kaiba's study.
He knocked on the door.
"Seto?" Mokuba asked opening it. "Um Camie's here" He turned around. "Okay you can go in" and with that he left.
Camie walked in and looked around. It had a desk with a computer. Paper files were everywhere, bookcases line the walls and there was a leather sofa in the corner.
"Ready to get this finished?" Kaiba said in a cold tone.
'What's his problem?' thought Camie. 'Must be having a bad day.' "Yeah. What else to we have left to do?"
"I'm gonna type up the essay and your gonna write the bibliography, title page and draw the picture we need" he said
"Um...alright" she said. There was something bothering him. His tone was so cold. 'Hm...Something is wrong.' she thought.
She brushed the thought aside and they began to work. All that could be heard was his typing and her pencil on the paper. It was too silent.
About forty-five minutes later. They or rather, he said nothing unless it was about the project. 'Odd' thought Camie. He had finished typing and Camie had everything arrange in order.
"Where do you want these Seto?" she asked.
"Kaiba" he said.
"Huh?" Camie said.
"I said that's Kaiba to you." he replied with a tone of zero.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Why are you being so cold?"
"Why? Why?" Kaiba said. "You of all people should know!" he yelled at her. "Don't think I didn't see you and Wheeler at the park kissing and when you ran after him. Think its fun to play with my emotions!"
"What?" Camie said confused. "No it's not what you think. He was just...just...telling me how he really felt and I told him that--"
"Oh just shut up already! I know what you said" Kaiba said. "Save it for someone who cares"
"No you don't. I didn't finish---"
"I don't care. The project is finished and I think its time you leave"
"Fine. I can't believe I ever liked a bastard like you. Maybe I shouldn't have told Joey that it was you I loved. Not him" and with that she stormed out.
Kaiba stood there motionless. "She told him no? That it was me?...Dammit." He punched his fist on his desk.
Camie was about to leave on her bike when Kaiba ran out after her.
"Wait!" Kaiba yelled.
"What do you want? You kicked me out me out of your house, you didn't let me explain my side of the story, and you were being a complete ass to me and you expect me to wait!"
"Well, yeah."
"So what do you want?"
"I want (swallows) to apologize. I should have listened to your side of the story."
"Yeah you probably should have, but THE great Seto Kaiba is too good to listen to anyone, he just listens to himself and obscene assumptions. Haven't you heard that when you assume you make an ass of you and me?"
"I don't have time for lectures."
"Well I don't have time for your bull shit. Ok?"
"Listen, I just want to know what your side of the story is."
"Fine, Joey likes me ok? I had no idea, and when he seen us kissing he flipped out. Because I'm his friend and only a friend, I ran out after him, I chased him to the park and then I lost him. I started to cry because I felt so bad for hurting his feelings like I did, it wasn't intentional, but it still hurt. He ended up finding me and confessed everything to me. About him liking me ever since he first laid eyes on me, everything. Then he kissed me on the cheek because I told him we could still be friends and that I thought of him as a brother."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"Oh...well...I'm sorry for being so cruel to you. Forgive me?"
"THE Seto Kaiba just apologized to me? Glad I was here to see this apocalipse (spelling?)." She said laughing.
"Mocking me?" Hr said.
"What if I am?" she challenged.
"Then you'll have to suffer" he replied with a devilish smirk.
"What..I...help!" Camie said now running form Kaiba.
Unfortunately she didn't get too far. He could run faster than her. He tackled her to the ground.
"Not fair" she pouted. "You have longer legs than me"
"So?" he said.
"How long are you planning on sitting on top of me?"
"Long enough" he replied.
"Oh hey Mokuba!" Camie said.
"Moku---" Kaiba turned around just long enough for Camie to get him off her.
"I win!" She said brushing herself off.
"Not quite" said Kaiba snaking his arms around her waist and turning her around.
They were looking at each other and about to kiss when Camie said:
"Caterpillar"
"What?" said Kaiba confused.
"There's a caterpillar in your hair!" she said laughing. She pulled it out and flung it somewhere to her left.
"AH! GET IT OFF ME!"
Camie and Kaiba both jumped. They looked to Camie's left and saw Mokuba running around in circles.
"Get it off! Get it off!"
"What are you yelling about?" asked Kaiba
"Camie flung the caterpillar at me" he said finally calming down.
"Hehe...oops sorry Mokuba" she grinned.
"Seto it's four o' clock. You have your meeting in twenty minutes"
"Guess I should get going" said Camie.
"Oh you forgot something" said Kaiba.
She turned around and he met her in a kiss. Just a short one cause Mokuba starting laughing.
"Camie and Seto sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-" put he quickly stop when Seto gave him a glare.
"Later Kaiba!" said Camie as she left.
