Chapter 6-Bad Day

-Tuesday-

-Serenity-

I was in my Art class sketching a picture of a desert landscape. I drew cactuses, pink flowers on them, some armadillos, and a bloody, bright sun, with not on cloud in the sky. I knew I was being really lazy, but in reality I was getting completely bored.

"Aww…. That's is so you," Kaoruko said as she gesture her hand in the air.

"What happened, Sarah? Usually you draw depressing pictures," Miho added as she looked at my sketch.

I simply rolled my eyes not wanting to hear this. I continued working trying to think what else a desert would have.

"You know what you and your drawings have in common?" Miho said as she smirked at me.

I kept on drawing and minding my own business until I heard the cruelest words come out of her mouth.

"The fact that I can criticize the both of you," Miho answered her own question as I accidentally dropped my pencil.

My pencil bounced off the floor and rolled to Kaoruko opened toe, pink high heels that matched her tight blouse to her feet. I stared blankly at my drawing and gulped really slow. I hope they didn't notice. I quickly rubbed my eyes until Kaoruko said, "Aww.. she is gonna cry!"

I felt a tear come down, but quickly wiped it away.

"No, something got in my eye. I think it's an eyelash," I lied not wanting them to know the truth.

"Don't deny it Serenity, We both know that, you're so, you're a horrible liar," Miho said crossing her arms.

"Yeah, we never, like, cry because, like, we aren't crybabies, and like we are so much older than you," Kaoruko conceited said as she agreed with Miho, of course, and crossed her arms, too.

I stopped wiping my eyes and bent down to get my pencil that was next to Kaoruko's feet, but she kicked it away and rolled to the trash can. I got off my stool and walked to where my pencil was at and heard something ripped. The teacher was never in art class, until the bell rang to leave. I quickly picked my pencil off the floor and saw my picture torn into pieces on the floor.

Then Miho and Kaoruko got their purses, laughing away as they left the classroom.

-Seto-

I saw Serenity walking quickly away until she tripped and fell clumsily. She looked like she had a bad day. How in the hell was I suppose to make her beautiful before prom? Is it even possible? I began to believe this mission was impossible, but I knew I had to find someone at this school who knew fashion and beauty.

She got up and walked away. I began to follow the ugly duckling as she tripped and fell again. Her supplies were scattered everywhere as hurried up to pick each one of them up. Why does she keep on falling? I looked down and saw her shoe laces were untied.

"Need some help?" I asked kneeling down and grabbed her books.

"No… no, thank you," she said kindly, not even looking at me.

Then she looked up and gasped.

"Seto? What are you doing? Shouldn't you be at work?" she said politely putting her supplies in her backpack, as she kindly took her books away from me.

"Listen… we kind of got off the wrong track, and I want to get to know you," I lied to her as she stood up.

"Why do you want to get to know me?" she asked with a confused tone in her voice, yet it was polite.

"Because I need a tutor for my little brother, Mokuba, since his finals are coming up and then I thought of you," I said looking at her directly.

There was something about her eyes that I wasn't able to read. She was good. She wasn't even scared of me. I'm being way to kind. I must be a little rude to her.

"Uhh… but why me?" she asked kindly to me.

"Because you're smart," I said quickly to her as she tilted her head to left side just a bit.

"How do you know if I'm smart? Don't you think of me as a dumb bimbo, who is repulsive and can never get a boyfriend?" she said sadly to me.

I didn't say anything. She was right. I would think of that, but there was something different about her because I felt it in my instincts. She was different from the other girls in the school.

"Listen. Please, I'll even pay you fifty bucks an hour for tutoring my brother," I said trying not to beg.

I can't believe I even said please!

"Okay, I'll do it, but I don't want your money," she said as she looked down and took off her frames and cleaned them with her blouse.

"So, what do you want as in payment?" I asked her, thinking that she must want something from me.

She put her frames back on and looked up at me.

She then smiled at me and said one word, "Nothing."

She then took off, as I just stood in stunned.

"I don't believe," I said turning around to face her.

"And why not?" she asked kindly to me.

"You must want money, just don't show it," I said rudely to her.

She blinked at me and shook her head from side to side.

"You actually think I want money from you?" she asked politely to me.

Stop Serenity; quit trying to act nice and innocent.

"Yes," I said getting a little angry.

"I don't need this. Find someone else to tutor your little brother," she said rudely to me as she turned and walked away.

"Wait!" I called back to her.

"I'm sorry, for my actions," I said as she turned around.

"I forgive you Seto," she said as she turned around and a small smile spread across her ugly face.

"When can you start?" I said to her hoping she can start today.

"Thursday," she said nicely to me.

"Why so late?" I asked confusedly to her.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I have a competition to attend to," she said to me as I raised my right eyebrow.

"Can't you go another time?" I asked crudely to her.

"No," she said just about to turn around.

"And why the hell not?" I said crossing my arms.

"Because I am in the competition," she said as she walked away.

I walked to her and she stopped and looked at me.

"Where is the competition going to be held at?" I asked not wanting to go.

She looked down and shook her head from side to side.

"Why? Don't you have a company to run?" she asked kindly to me.

"Watch out what you say to me, and I will be there," I said to her, but I knew I had to 'hang out' even though I don't do that, but it was the only way for me to get to know her.

"It's at the Domino Dome (1), and it starts at 5:30 in the afternoon," she said looking at me.

"I'll be there," I said, when in reality, I didn't want to go.

"Prove it," was all she smirked to me and left.

I quickly grabbed her upper right arm and turned around.

"Is that threat Serenity?" I asked her brusquely as I saw her eyes widened with fear for the first time.

She looked away and quietly said, "No."

"Say that in front of my face," I angrily said to her and shook her arm.

"You're hurting me," she said as a tear fell from her left eye.

"You think I care puppy?" I shouted to her as she slowly turned to me as another tear trailed down to her pink lips.

"I'm sorry! And no, that wasn't a threat," she quickly said to me as everyone stopped and stared.

I quickly squeezed her upper arm, hoping to leave a bruise. She quickly turned around and ran to the vehicle.

I looked down at my hands and felt sorry for the puppy. I looked up and saw the truck leaving with Serenity's head hung down and wiping away her tears.

I feel guilty for hurting her.

Gosh, I really hate the fact that I'm updating a lot more of this story than Satanic Embrace. But I guess it's because my S.E. has longer chapters. I won't be able to update a new chapter this week. But hopefully next week, I get something done to that story. I will take my time on Satanic Embrace.

I apologize for the bad grammar.

I know you want a preview of the next chapter, but I don't have one for right, but I will have it up next week.

(1)- I'm not sure if there is a Domino Dome. And if there is one, I don't own it.
