Disclaimer- I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters, although Rhona is the character I made up, as my anime counterpart, lol!
Thanks to the people who have reviewed, that's Shiko, Kura12 and Sarah1281! Thanks Guys!
This Chapter is kinda more ranting coming from Rhona- Which I hope isn't too boring, but I'm just trying to get a more in-depth view of her, don't worry though, more info about Jou, Marik and Seto will be coming soon! Yay!
By the way, I would like to ask, the original couples were Seto x Jou, Marik x Rhona and Yugi x Tea, but should I add Yami x Yugi in as well? Or maybe some other couple? Well, it's up to you guys!
Oh, also! I hope no one gets offended by one little word I slipped in at the end, if so, I sincerely apologise! (It's actually a commonly used word where I live, lol!)
Trying to Catch your Heart- Chapter 3- A Forgotten Education
What's more tedious then doing Computing about things that I learnt when I was twelve? Seto grunted, obviously not too pleased about the idea of revising over work he had done several years ago.
His best friend instantly noticed his lack of interest in the subject and smiled softly, hoping to comfort the handsome boy, "I know it may be a little annoying having to be held back with the rest of class, but you should always give others a chance Seto," she paused, brushing a strand of dirty blonde hair away from her face, which had been annoying her for a while as it dangled freely infront of her eyes, "Everyone has potential, given the right opportunity anyone can achieve whatever they wish."
"But I don't see why I even need to come to School, I do not care whether everyone else my age is still in the middle of their education, preparing themselves for the rest of their lives, but I know, I am already set, I already have a business and I already have top grades for every mathematical and scientific subject, so why does the government insist I stay at this ridiculous school, wasting my life away when I could be bringing in more money for my company and maybe even helping my little brother?" Seto demanded in his usual low tone, outraged at the fact he was forced to stay at school until he was eighteen, and being seventeen that meant he only had a year left, but one year was long enough for the infamous CEO.
By this point, anyone else would be tired of Seto's ranting and complaints, probably thinking of some certain four-letter choice words to describe the infuriated boy, but Rhona, well she wasn't, instead she flashed her typical soft smile, chuckling slightly, "Seto, not everyone goes to school to learn," she explained, "Many choose rather to be with their friends than anything else, and that's why you're here, you're not here to learn, you're here to socialize."
Seto frowned in sheer confusion, "Why would people choose to go to school to socialise? School is for education, nothing else," he concluded, folding his arms over sternly.
"Well, I think it's best you know that, that's why I come to school," Rhona replied, a smile forming on her face as she giggled at the shocked reaction on her good friend.
"But why? Aren't you here for education?" Seto questioned in complete disbelief, not comprehending the idea that Rhona was at school for the soul purpose of talking and meeting with friends.
Rhona shook her head lightly, her two blonde bangs swinging gently with her movements, "Nope, Seto, you're not the only one in the class who's ahead you know," Rhona motioned to the Computing textbook every pupil in the class had been given, "I learnt this type of stuff when I was six," she paused glancing from her textbook to Seto and back, "Seto, back in Scotland, we had the choice on whether we wished to leave at the age of sixteen or not, I chose too, although it's very rare for anyone to leave their education at that age, I did. I got Standard Grades in Computing, Graphic Communication and Maths, and that was enough for me, but when I moved to Japan, I discovered that here I had no choice in the matter and that I would have to stay on until I was eighteen, but I didn't go against the rules, I agreed to it," she paused one final time, smiling calmly, "So, if I can manage a few more years of education, I think you can Seto."
Seto blinked in sheer perplexity, "But I thought Standard Grades were the lowest form of qualifications you could achieve?"
"They are," Rhona nodded in comply.
"So why did you leave at sixteen?" he queried, completely mystified that the Scottish girl would choose to leave her education at such a young age, "With those Standard Grades, you could have stayed on gaining better grades in Higher and even Advanced Higher, promising you a much better job!"
She sighed, a little exasperated with Seto's constant questioning, "Seto, not everything is about qualifications, jobs, and work! There are other things out there! By leaving school early, I got the chance to explore the world, that's why I'm here in Japan now! It was always my dream to come to Japan, and if I left school early I had a chance to get myself a full-time job saving up the money I earned until I had enough to move me abroad, understand it now?"
The boy nodded slowly, gradually taking in everything his best friend was trying to explain to him, "I guess I understand… I still say school is a complete waste of my time..."
Rhona smiled, she knew that Seto would never admit to defeat, it just wasn't possible for him, "Of course you would," she joked.
Just at that moment, the teacher emerged, standing beside the pair with his hands on his hips, obviously unimpressed with their continuous chatter that they had created.
"Oh hello Mr. Michael, didney see you there! Seto and I were just discussing about programming, I'm a little rusty on my CSS and Seto was giving me a little advice on the matter, I hope you don't mind sir, but coming from Scotland, you know the 'Highlands'," she rolled her eyes, knowing the exact image her teacher had of Scotland, of course when she first moved to the country, most of her teachers immediately assumed she was some kind of retard because she had came from Scotland, "-I don't really understand these kind of things."
Mr. Michael nodded approvingly before moving on as he eyed another group who were happily chatting away between one another.
Seto smirked, impressed by Rhona's lying abilities, she may have appeared to be a innocent, unknowing teenage girl but she was actually secretly quite cunning and sly when she wished to be, "Good one," he complimented in his deep, husky voice.
"I know…" she said in a sly voice, her eyes dark and almost evil, when suddenly she swung her hair to the side, as the sunlight bounced off her hair, highlighting the top of her head in a beautiful glow, a innocent smile reappearing on her face as she giggled, "Now, where were we?"
Seto blinked in amazement, it was unbelievable how quickly the golden brunette could swing from mood to mood, it was almost like there were two of her in the one body!
