Chapter Ten
Soon lunch was over. Camie went to her next class and sat in her proper seat. She then noticed Kaiba was holding something that looked like a gift box.
"Who's it from?" Camie asked peeking over his shoulder.
"Tcht, some idiot" He said as he took the card attached to it. The card turned out to be a picture of Lindsay. Behind she had wrote "Just to remind you of what you missing Kaiba-kun"
"Oh, I know her, she's the leader of your fan club" Camie said. Kaiba raised his eyebrow.
"I didn't ask for a fan club" he said coldly.
"Yeah, well might as well open her gift"
"Were not allowed to eat in class"
"Huh?"
"Her and her league of stalkers always give the same heart-shaped chocolates. They taste off". Camie laughed. Kaiba looked at her and handed her the gift box.
"Here, I don't need it"
"Oh, I can't do that, now that I'm your lab partner, Lindsay's after my head"
Kaiba looked at her. He started to say something but the teacher came in and he took the box back. Camie lifted her gaze from him to the teacher who was babbling about out instructions for some test.
Forty minutes later the period ended. 'One more period to go' thought Camie when she bumped into someone. It was Lindsay. She looked at Camie like she was a piece of dirt. She crossed her arms.
"Well, well, well if it isn't our resident loser and her street mutt" She said giving Joey a dirty look.
"Hi Lindsay, give Kaiba another present?" Camie asked.
"None of your business, you little snake. You know for an upper level student, you sure are stupid. Didn't I tell you to stay away from Kaiba you wench? Oh is that too much for your little brain to understand?" Lindsay asked haughtily.
"Huh? I'm sorry I was more interested in that crack on the floor." Camie replied.
"You're an idiot and you know it. The only reason your here is because your mom probably paid the school. You probably couldn't do anything by yourself if your life depended on it and I bet you're just a sorry little outcast." Lindsay lashed out.
"Stop it Lindsay!" Joey said.
"Lindsay sorry to disappoint you but my mom is dead and as for being an outcast, if being "in" means being like you, I'd rather be an outcast. Oh and one more thing. If I'm stupid then how come you're the one with gum stuck on your skirt?" Camie said her fists clenched.
Lindsay looked at her skirt, gave Camie a glare and ran off to the bathrooms (a/n HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! err...yeah...ehe) As soon as she was gone Joey came up to Camie.
"Are you all ight?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she said quietly. "Why are cheerleaders such bitches?"
"I don't know. They think they can do what they want, when they want I guess" he said.
"Oh well, she'll get what's coming to her" Camie shrugged and headed off to class. Her face seemed to have lost a bit of its cheery glow though.
In class, Camie was not surprised to see Kaiba throwing a box into the trash can. She smiled a bit and took her seat. Kaiba soon joined her. He didn't look at her, but he didn't need to, to be able to notice she wasn't as cheery as usual.
"What's wrong with you?"
Camie looked up from her desk. "Nothing" was her simple reply.
Kaiba raised his eyebrow. He knew she was hiding something. He never did like when people did that. Curiosity got the best of him so he tried to force the answer out.
"Tell me" he said.
Camie looked at him with a depressed expression.
"Leave me alone" she said.
Kaiba looked at her, his eyes examined her face. He didn't know this girl was capable of saying those words to someone. He knew something was wrong, very wrong and as much as he hated himself for doing it, he replaced his curiosity with concern.
"Tell me what's wrong Camie" he said putting his arm around her.
Camie looked at him. His weren't his normal icy blue cold and uncaring ones. Kaiba looked at her. Her eyes weren't her usually lit up emerald ones. Camie looked away.
"If only..." Camie said. Camie buried her face in her hands. She had always tried her hest, always tried to prove that she more than just a girl from a rich family... Maybe it was time to give it up. Maybe she should just accept the fact that there will always be people like Lindsay, how lived to make life miserable.
Then again though, she was glad she had found someone who understood her, someone who wouldn't critize her. She made a note to thank Joey later.
Forty minutes later the last bell rang signaling the end of the day. Camie dropped her books off at her locker and went outside the school. She found a bench and she sat down, slowly closing her eyes. She breathed in the cool fresh air. The birds were singing in the background. Her hair was tucked behind her ear, the gentle breeze blowing it away from her face. Footsteps coming toward her. Wait, footsteps?
Camie frowned. She wanted to be a lone right now, unless it was Joey. She decided to ignore the footsteps, maybe they would go away. After awhile the footsteps stopped. Camie could feel the person standing behind her.
"So what's wrong with you today?" said Kaiba.
She opened one eye and stood up and came face to face Kaiba. Camie smiled a little then looked down.
"I'm sorry" she said quietly.
Silence
Silence
Silence
"You should be but I'd appreciate it if you'd answer my question" Kaiba said plainly.
Camie looked at him, her eyes examining his face. For a minute she just stared, trying to read the CEO's expression. He was too good at hiding it.
"It's nothing" she said turning away. She heard a sigh from beside her.
"Camie don't drive my patience"
"Why are you so curious anyways?" She asked, turning to him.
"Because I...I care, I love you Camie" he said and looked away.
Silence
Silence
Silence
"Kaiba it all started when..."
"So it was that entire idiot's fault?" Kaiba asked when Camie was done talking.
Camie nodded, she didn't feel like moving. The wind blew, rustling a few leaves before a noise disturbed them. A cell phone ringing and both picked up their own.
"Hello?" both said at same time.
Camie smiled and began talking on her phone. Kaiba put his phone away and stared at her.
"Oh hey Tea. What's up? Shopping? Sure I'd love to. I have to get something anyways. You'll pick me up at five? Alright Later"
"What was that about?" Kaiba asked.
"Just going shopping with Tea, I got to get a dress for Saturday".
"I see. Well I have to get going. Mokuba is waiting."
"Bye Seto" Camie said giving him a hug.
"Bye" he said and got in his limo.
Camie then started her walk home.
By the time she got home it was about four o' clock. She got changed out of her uniform because they suck, and made some Ramen for dinner because Ramen tastes really really good. About tens minutes later a horned sounded from outside. 'Must be Tea' Camie thought. She walked out and sure enough she saw Tea in her PT Cruiser (Don't own either).
"Hey Camie" said Tea. "Ready for dress shopping?"
"Yeah, I'm not big on dresses, but I have no choice this time." Camie said.
"Oh, well we have to go and pick up Mai then were gonna head to downtown Domino." Tea said.
"Alright"
About five minutes later they were at Mai's house. After Tea beeping the horn for five minutes Mai came out whining that Tea was impatient. After another five minutes they were at the mall. Without any hesitation, they dragged Camie into a store called DEB (don't own that either. lol)
"Oh try this one on!' Tea said running over to a pink dress.
"I don't do pink" Camie said plainly.
"Oh ok...well... how about this one?" She said holding up a canary yellow dress.
"Hon' you have no taste in dresses Mai said. Tea gave Mai a death glare.
About a half hour and maybe fifty some dresses later...
"How about this one?" Mai said taking a light blue one off the rack.
It was about knee length and strapless. It started out light blue on the top and faded to a shade of silver on the bottom.
"I actually like that one" Camie said.
She went into the changing room and put it on. When she finished changing, Camie walked out and Mai laughed.
"That bad?" Camie asked.
"No hon, that perfect" she said.
"I still liked the orange one" Tea said (not like anyone cares right?).
"No I think I like the blue one" Camie said. She paid for the dress and they left. They then decided to stop at a cafe for dinner. Tea was then whining about how they didn't have veggie burgers because she's a vegetarian (at least in my story).
They were about to leave when a certain someone called "Hey Camie!"
HAHA! Cliff hanger. Sorry but I had to. Who is it? Find out in my next thrilling chapter! Want a hint? Kaiba. Party. Duke Devlin? And my friend Alissa? oh no..
