Joey's POV

I slept this night, thankfully… Now I'm walking with Yugi, Tea and Tristan to school as always. I still can't believe that Kaiba caught me yesterday... I don't understand why he did that, I thought he hated me more then ever... I own him a thanks I guess…

"You're so distracted the last few days Joey." Yugi suddenly interrupts my thoughts. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's really nothing Yugi. You're seeing things that aren't there." I grin at him.

He smiles back. I'm sure he doesn't believe me. Yugi is a person that can really see it if something bothers me. Just like now, and the days before. We arrive at school and on the same moment a limo stops in front of the building. I stop in my tracks. There's only one person who arrives at school in a limo. I take a deep breath.

"Go further without me, okay guys? I have to talk with someone."

The door of the limo opens and Mokuba jumps out, followed by Kaiba.

"Uh…. Sure thing Joey." Yugi says entering the school building with Tea and Tristan.

The limo drives away. I take another deep breath. Here goes nothing… I walk towards Kaiba and Mokuba who are talking with each other. Kaiba looks up before I even got the chance to get his attention. His eyes narrow when he sees me. Mokuba looks at me too, though his reaction is much nicer then Kaiba's.

"Hi Joey!" He says as happy as always.

"Hi Mokuba." I answer. It's like I can feel Kaiba's eyes piercing through my body. I look up at him, his blue cold eyes fixed on me. "Can I talk with you Kaiba?"

He looks at me and then lays his hand on Mokuba's shoulder. "I have to bring Mokuba to his class…"

Mokuba looks up at his brother. "I don't mind going alone Seto." Before Kaiba can say something more, Mokuba walks away. "Bye Seto! Bye Joey!"

There's a short silence. Then Kaiba starts to talk, his voice sounds annoyed and alert. "Do you want to talk or are you going to…" He stops. I know what he wanted to say.

"N-no… just talking." I hate it when my voice shakes.

"Then say it Wheeler."

I take another deep breath. "IwantedtothankyouforcatchingmebeforeIhitthegroundyesterday." … I blink. Man, I feel the urge to hit myself now…

Kaiba raises an eyebrow. "What was that? I didn't understand a word of what you just..."

"I wanted to thank you for catching me before I hit the ground yesterday." I interrupt him.

There's a short silence again. "Don't start to think things Wheeler."

"Hu what?" I sound like a moron…

"Don't think that I like you just because I caught you…"

Did I think that?... Yes I did… Though something told me I didn't have to believe that… Now Kaiba himself says it too.

"I hate you, you got that? Stay away from me and Mokuba."

His words echo trough my head and hurt me terribly… Did he mean that? Does… Does he really want me to stay away? I wanted to thank him and now… now he says this… I look down at my feet and walk away from Kaiba and the school.

Seto's POV

The limo stops and Mokuba opens the door and we both get out. Another day at school, another day with Wheeler… Shit! Why do I keep thinking of him? There are two things that could be the possible reason. The first one, probably the reason, god let it be the reason, is just because Wheeler did something very stupid that isn't possible to forget. The second one, probably NOT the reason, god don't let it be the reason, is that I'm starting to love him… It can't be that, it won't be that…

"Hello! Earth to Seto!"

I look down at Mokuba. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"You're daydreaming a lot the past few days big brother…"

"Don't worry about it Mokuba."

I look up and see Wheeler walking towards me. My eyes narrow. Can't he just leave me alone?

"Hi Joey!" Mokuba says.

I hold down a sigh.

"Hi Mokuba"

I look at Wheeler and he raises his head. "Can I talk with you Kaiba?"

… Oh no, I remember what happened the last time when he wanted to 'talk' whit me. I lay my hand on Mokuba's shoulder. "I have to bring Mokuba to his class…"

Mokuba looks up at me. "I don't mind going alone Seto." I want to protest but Mokuba walks away. "Bye Seto! Bye Joey!" Damn! There's a short silence. I start to speak. "Do you want to talk or are you going to…" I stop. I am not going to say that out loud.

Wheeler's voice shakes again. "N-no… just talking…"

"Then say it Wheeler." I want to get away from him.

He takes a deep breath. "IwantedtothankyouforcatchingmebeforeIhitthegroundyesterday."

I raise an eyebrow. Wheeler blinks. "What was that? I didn't understand a word of what you just..."

"I wanted to thank you for catching me before I hit the ground yesterday." He interrupts me.

For a second I don't understand what he's talking about. Then I remember again.

"Don't start to think things Wheeler." I say.

"Hu what?" He asks. Now he's the one that doesn't understand.

"Don't think that I like you just because I caught you…" I continue. His expression changes, like he's thinking of something and is hurt by the thought… Why do I even care? The second reason pops up in my head… No, no! I must forget Wheeler, the dream, the kiss… I must forget it. I must make him to leave me alone.

"I hate you, you got that? Stay away from me and Mokuba."

Did I mean that? Do I really want him to stay away… of course I want that! Why am I doubting what I thought about ten seconds ago?... There's the second reason again… But then I see Wheeler bowing his head and walking away. I hesitate. This is what I wanted right? I want him to go away. Now he did, so I should be happy.

Why do I feel so bad then?
