Chapter 4: The Note

" Why didn't you tell me that the guy my dad works for goes to this school?" I screamed a Tea outside in the hallway. We we're trying to find my locker, and were having a tough time.

"I thought you knew," she said innocently. " Honestly, don't fret about it. I'm not the one to blame!"

Man! Do you know how much I wanted to smack her up side the head right then and there! I was so pissed at her! Not to mention my dad, and Rini as well. They didn't know what there were in for when I got home.

Anyway, We finally found the dam locker, number 224, and opened it. Tea helped me put my books and stuff in, as a way of saying sorry for disusing me earlier that morning. As if it really mattered though. I could have done by my self I mean. It's not as if I was a child or something. But on the other hand, Tea seemed a little worried. I don't know why, but she did.

After we got all my stuffing my locker, I grabbed my stuff for Science and we headed off for the lab. We finally reached room 253 (The science lab) and walked in. I sat behind Tea and Yugi in the back of the classroom. I kept quiet as Yugi and Tea talked a while before class started. Finally the teacher showed up and class began. But, as the teacher talked about atom's, protons, electrons, ect. , I couldn't help but think about those ice blue eyes. Plus it didn't matter if I had to learn about the dam atoms or not. I had already learned about them two years ago in my old school.

Finally, the bell rang and class ended. I walked out behind Tea and Yugi and we headed for my locker. My eyes scanned over the rows of lockers, in search for my own. One of them had a piece of paper sticking out of it, and I hoped it wasn't mine. I read the numbers of the lockers before it, # 221, #222, and #223. Finally we reached # 224, the locker with the slip of paper sticking out. I grabbed the piece of paper and read what it said to myself.

I'm sorry I ran into you earlier. It was my fault.

You're new here, aren't you? I'm just wondering

because I've never seen you around here before.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and, I

was wondering if you'd like to hang out some time.

It's just a thought. You can nod your head if you

want to but you can also think about it.

See Ya around,

Seto Kaiba

P.S. you have some thing of mine.

With out thinking, I nodded my head. I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and saw him. I guess he saw me looking at him because he blushed a little. I smiled at him and nodded once again. He smiled back, and left. Once he was gone, I turned around to Tea and Yugi who were eyeing suspiciously.

" I think I've just made a new friend." I said and handed Tea the note. She read it at once and as she read her eyes when wide. Once she was done she gave it to Yugi so he could read and turned to me. But all she could do was gawk at me. Once Yugi was finished he was the first to speak.

" I don't know what to say. For one thing, I've never seen him apologize to anyone. You must have sparked some interest in him."

"O joy!" I said, not really amused. I turned to look at Tea. She was still gawking at me. "O of Pete's sake, say some thing already!" I yelled at her.

But all that could come out of her mouth was, " WOW". All of a sudden, Joey and Tristian came up behind Yugi and snatched the note Seto had written for me out of yugi's hands. "Hey what's this?" Joey said, " Is it a love note?" My eyes went wide with terror. "Give that back!" I said as I tried to grab the note back, but it was to late. Joey had read it all.

" It sounds like he likes you Riyo," Joey said with an evil grin and gave the note to Tristian. " So when you gonna hang out with him? I'm gonna guess that you two will be alone." My hands became fists and were shaking slightly. "You better not tell anyone you two!" I said with my teeth bared, " I don't want any of this to get out!"

Joey gave out a small laugh. " Don't worry Riyo! I swear I won't tell," he said, and then turned to Tristian, " But I'm not so sure about Trist. He's been known to blab out almost everything." Tristian gave Joey a cold look and handed back the note to me.

" Don't worry Riyo," Tristian said without taking his eyes off Joey, " I won't tell."

I said "thanks," and we all headed for lunch. I quickly slid the note into my locker, to the point where no one could see it, and headed off with the rest of the group.
