As Seto Kaiba walked down the stairs of his multi-level mansion, he yawned with boredom. Life was boring. He needed a little action, some excitement, perhaps a girl…

Seto stopped thinking. A GIRL! He shook his head and made a disgusted noise. Mokuba gave him an anomalous look. "Erm…Seto…anything unusual going on?"

The young CEO of Kaiba Corporation glanced over at the younger teen. "No, but Mokuba, your homework should have been done last night."

"I was doing it last night!" protested Mokuba.

Seto rolled his eyes and breathed loudly. "Just…just get ready."

LATER ON, as he sat down in his homeroom, and pulled out a book, two unfamiliar, pretty girls walked in. They were twins, and one had curly blonde hair, the other had straightened blonde hair. Each girl was wearing the school uniform. Seto couldn't see their eyes from the back of the room, but he guessed they were blue.

"Mr. Kaiba, please come forward. I'd like to introduce you to Annemarie and Jessica Holland," the teacher, Miss Brinson, began. "I want you to take Annemarie around the school."

Seto scowled involuntarily. "Excuse me, but I've things to do today. I have Advanced Math and Language, plus I don't need an underling from-from…wherever she's from."

Annemarie sat back on her small heels and said in a small voice, "I'm from California."

"Whatever. But, Miss Brinson, as I said before, I'M BUSY."

Jessica and Annemarie exchanged looks. Jessica spoke.

"I'm sure it won't hurt to have my sister around for one day. It's the mature thing to do."

Annemarie bit her lip. "No, that's fine. I think I've got a schedule right here…"she searched through her backpack. She retrieved a small piece of wrinkled paper. "Yep, got it right here."

Seto sneered. "Well, as you see, Miss Brinson, this girl has her schedule. I think anyone, even Wheeler, can read it."

Miss Brinson glared at Seto. "You're off the hook this time, Mr. Kaiba, but next time you won't be so lucky. Oh, and Jessica, you may report to Room 516 for your homeroom."

Jessica nodded, and smiled at her sister. "See ya, Anne!" Then she left the room.

Seto rolled his eyes and strode back to his seat. He felt the teacher's cold eyes staring at him, but he ignored her and returned to his book.

Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea walked through the door.

"Hey," Yugi said to Annemarie. "Have we met before?"

Annemarie looked puzzled. "No," she responded, "unless you've been to California. Have you?"

Yugi nodded. "Well, once, but that's a long story."

"Tell me about it," muttered Seto under his breath.

Joey turned to glare at his nemesis. "Hey, you keep your mouth SHUT! You hear me, Kaiba?"

Seto shrugged. "Quit mumbling and maybe I'd hear you."

Annemarie's eye's darted from one corner of the room to another. "Um, by the way, I'm Annemarie Holland."

"I'm Yugi. Nice to meet you, Annemarie. Oh, and these are my friends, Tea, Joey, and Tristan."

Tea smiled and asked, "Do you like dancing?"

Annemarie nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, yes! I used to be on the dance team for school in CA!"

Tea smiled again. "I'm on the dance team here! Hey, tryouts are coming up. Why don't you try out, Annemarie?"

The curly haired girl thought a moment. "Maybe I will…"

Seto nearly snorted. But he had to admit: she was VERY pretty and VERY nice.
