"What's it like to be Seto Kaiba's girlfriend?"
Tea turned around to see Melanie standing next to her. Loose strands of blonde hair were pushed behind her ear as the blue eyed girl bent down to hear Tea better.
"Well how is it? Has he kissed you yet?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh come on, Gardner. Everyone knows that you're Kaiba's girl."
Not a single word came from the shocked brunette as she saw a certain brown haired boy coming down the hall towards her.
"Hey, Tea!" Kaiba then saw Melanie and said, "I'm sorry. Is this a bad time?"
Melanie giggled and answered, "No not at all. I was just leaving, oh and Kaiba."
"Yes?"
Melanie didn't say anything in return, but grabbed Kaiba's shirt collar and pulled him close to her. Their lips touched, but try as she might Melanie couldn't get Kaiba to lean into it.
His head was spinning. This wasn't like the kiss he had shared with Tea. This was a forced kiss, an unwanted kiss.
Tea didn't know what to say. Her head was filled with thoughts of what she should do, but she couldn't bring herself to do any of them.
Finally Kaiba and Melanie's lips separated and the blonde girl skipped off. A loud slam came from behind Kaiba and he turned around to see an extremely displeased Tea.
"Tea...…I didn't…I mean….she…you saw..."
The brunette grabbed her books from the floor and moved them in her arm when Kaiba tried to grab them to carry them for her.
"What I saw just now was you kissing Melanie!"
"No Tea! What you saw was Melanie forcing a kiss on me. Do you want to know what a real kiss is, then I'll show you!"
The boy didn't wait for Tea to answer. He pushed her against the locker and pressed his lips against hers. Her head was spinning and she felt faint when his tongue pushed against hers.
His arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her even closer to him.
Around them people made all sorts of comments about them, but Kaiba didn't care. When he broke their passionate kiss, Tea couldn't say a word. The brown haired boy put his hand in his pockets and took a step back.
"There now, do think that was the same as what happened with Melanie?"
The brunette only shook her head no. Kaiba offered his arm to her and Tea unconsciously took it.
When they arrived at the choir room, Tea and Kaiba were greeted by Serenity.
"Hey Tea, hi Kaiba"
The brunette released Kaiba's arm and looked at the dark red haired girl.
"Hi Serenity. Seto do you think that Serenity and I could have a moment alone?"
Kaiba nodded his head and walked off. Tea watched the brown haired boy as he put his hands in his pockets and looked around the room.
"So what's new Serenity?"
"I think you should tell me. First you're practically told never to be around Kaiba and now you're calling him Seto?"
"Um…well…we…we're just a little bit closer that's all. I mean how could we not be, with this project and everything."
A smirk appeared on Serenity's face as she looked at Tea. "There's something you're not telling me isn't there?"
The brunette smiled and said, "Okay I'll tell you. Seto asked me to the dance and he kissed me twice. He's also said that he loves me."
"Do Yugi and Joey know about this?"
"Not really."
"They'll have to find out eventually."
"I know but-"
Tea didn't finish her sentence because she was shocked when a pair of arms wrapped around her. Cerulean eyes met dark blue as Tea turned around to see that it was Kaiba who had put his arms around her.
Serenity sighed when she saw this gesture of love. Tea looked up at Kaiba for a couple of minutes then grabbed his hand and directed him to a table. Michael came in and Serenity did the same to him.
After a while, more couples came in followed by the teacher. Every couple was there except Joey and Melanie. Where are they? That's all Tea and Serenity could think about that entire class period.
The brown haired girl leaned towards Kaiba and whispered, "Where are Joey and Melanie?"
"Hell if I know."
"You're not much help. After this class will you help me find them?"
"Yeah sure."
The bell rang soon and the brown haired couple set out to find the blonde couple. Tea decided that her and Kaiba should spread out and cover more ground. Kaiba was told to go look down near the choir room while Tea went and looked around the math room.
The brown haired boy walked down the hall and opened the door to the band hall. There inside it was Melanie with her arms around Joey. Joey's eyes were red as if he had been crying and Melanie looked the same.
When Kaiba walked in Joey got up and approached Kaiba threateningly. "You're the guy who flirted with my girl and got her hooked on you. I'll kill you!"
Kaiba backed up and looked up at Joey. His eyes were red and bloodshot.
"You're drunk, Wheeler. It's obvious that you are. Why else would you accuse me of flirting with your tramp of a girlfriend?"
The blonde haired boy grew closer to Kaiba with his fist clenched when Tea walked in. She looked at Joey and ran over to Kaiba.
"You found them. What's wrong with Joey?"
Kaiba looked down at Tea with a worried look in his eyes. "Wheeler's drunk. He must have found out about what Melanie did and drank down a couple to make himself feel better. I guess that slut told him that I was the reason that happened and that I was hitting on her."
"Kaiba don't make him mad! Please I don't want anything to happen to you. I love you."
Kaiba looked into Tea's cerulean eyes and smiled.
"Don't worry, Tea. Wheeler won't do anything to me."
Joey moved closer to Tea and Kaiba and yelled, "Shut the hell up Kaiba! Move away Tea, cause I'm going to kill him."
The brunette didn't move. One of Kaiba's arms reached around her and landed on her shoulders. Then Tea looked into Joey's brown eyes.
"Joey, Seto wouldn't hit on Melanie. I know that because I love him and he loves me! Please Joey calm down. Seto isn't the one you need to be angry at."
The brown eyed boy looked at Kaiba then at Melanie. "Is this true?" Kaiba nodded and so did Melanie. Tears came from both girls. Joey fell to the floor and began crying.
Tea rushed over to him and put his arm around the blonde haired boy. "It's alright Joey. Seto and I forgive you. It was just a mistake. You just chose the wrong girl that's all."
"I'm sorry, Tea. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let it go this far. I guess with my dad being a drunk and all I sort of lost it and got the idea that a couple of beers would make me feel better."
Kaiba looked around and noticed that Melanie had disappeared. At least that's one good thing.
Joey got up and staggered to the door then fell back to the ground. Tea ran over to him and helped the blonde haired boy back up.
"Maybe you should go home for the rest of the day."
Kaiba agreed and they walked him to the office. After a couple of phone calls, Kaiba arranged for a limo to come and pick Joey up to take him to his house that he shared with Serenity.
A little bit later in choir, Tea sat down with Serenity and told her about everything that had happened.
"Is he okay?" Her voice was filled with terror.
"Yes. Seto sent a limo to take him home so that he can rest and sober up."
Serenity ran over to Kaiba and flung her arms around him. Kaiba blushed and looked at the girl that was hugging him. When Serenity let go, Tea saw that tears were coming from her eyes.
"Thank you." Kaiba nodded and put his arm around Tea when she walked over to them. Serenity wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. "I have to call Mai."
Tea looked at her. "What for?"
"To see if she could attend a certain high school dance with a certain high school boy." Tea laughed and nodded.
That afternoon her and Kaiba sat down on the couch and wrote their paper. It was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon and Tea had gotten a call from her parents. They said that they would be coming home tomorrow and couldn't wait to see her.
After the last sentence was written, Tea leaned against Kaiba's strong shoulder and closed her eyes. Kaiba put his arm around Tea and turned on the TV. There was a movie on so Kaiba decided he would watch it.
He looked down at the girl that was sleeping on him. The brown haired boy moved her hair back a little bit. He knew that this would be her last night staying at the mansion because tomorrow after school she would be dropped of at her own house to be greeted by her parents.
Tea's eyes opened and looked up to see Kaiba's dark blue eyes staring at her. She couldn't help but blush as she slowly moved closer to him. Neither of them knew that Mokuba was behind the coffee table watching them.
As their lips touched, Tea's heart filled to the brim with affection. Her hands wrapped around his neck and Kaiba's hand positioned itself on the back of her head. Suddenly there was a noise behind him.
Tea broke the kiss to see a black haired boy sticking out his tongue in disgust.
"Ew yuck! Ya'll were kissing!" Mokuba ran around the room screaming this as loud as he could.
The elder Kaiba stopped him and said, "You were watching us?" He led Mokuba to the couch in between him and Tea, who was blushing from embarrassment. The black haired little boy looked proud of himself as he answered his older brother.
"Yes I was and you two were kissing!"
The elder Kaiba ran his fingers through his brown hair and looked at his younger brother. "It's none of your business what we were doing! Now go up to your room or something."
"Okay."
The boy skipped up the stairs singing. "Seto and Tea sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g first comes love…"
Tea laughed as Mokuba continued singing his song. "Maybe I should go home and get things ready for my parent's arrival."
Kaiba eventually agreed and offered Tea a ride home. Once they arrived, Tea opened the car door and walked down the narrow sidewalk to her door. The blue eyed girl looked back and smiled at Kaiba before she walked through the door.
The front room was dark and Tea felt tired. She put her bag on t he floor next to the door and went to her room. The brunette folded down the blankets and lay in her bed. Soon she fell fast asleep.
Early the next morning, Tea was greeted by a woman's voice. When she opened her eyes, Tea saw her mother above her.
"Mom! You're home!" Tea said as she wrapped her arms around the woman.
"Yes, we got home last night and saw that you were already asleep. Anything new happen while we were away?"
"Well tonight we have a dance and I'm going with Seto Kaiba."
"Well that's nice dear."
Suddenly there was a honk outside and Tea looked out the window to see Kaiba leaning out the sunroof of the limo waving at her. "Come on, Tea! Let's go!"
Tea yelled back down. "Okay I'll be down in a minute!"
She grabbed her pants and put them on quickly then did the same with her shirt. After that Tea grabbed her bag that was still next to the door and ran to the limo outside. She waved goodbye to her mother then got into the limo next to Kaiba.
Cerulean eyes met blue as Tea looked at Kaiba and smiled. "Morning! Are you ready for the dance tonight?"
"Yeah, as ready as I'll ever be. I'll pick you up tonight at six. Is that okay?"
"Yeah that's great. Guess what, my parents came home late last night!"
"That's great! Well let's get going."
Kaiba motioned for the driver to go and soon they arrived at school. The day passed by quickly and soon health class rolled around. The couples were expected to present today. Tea could hear Melanie talking to Joey behind them.
"We'll say that the marriage was great and then turn in the paper okay."
"Yeah, sure whatever."
The brunette leaned over to Kaiba and asked, "Where's the paper?" She held onto the flour sack she had had with her that entire morning closer.
"What paper?"
"Seto! The paper we have to turn in today!"
"Oh that paper, I must have left it at home."
"What do you mean you left it at home!"
"Calm down, I'm playing. The paper is right here."
Kaiba pulled out the paper and handed it to Tea who didn't appreciate his little joke. Mr. Joni walked in with the long white lab coat he usually had on and looked at everyone. "Okay our first couple to present will be Mr. Wheeler and Ms. Kylaan."
Joey stood up followed by Melanie. The blonde haired boy ran his fingers through his hair while Melanie flipped her blonde hair back. "At first our marriage was great, that was until I found out about my supposedly "loyal" wife. I found out that she was cheating on me and trying to ruin another marriage behind my back. Melanie was trying to attract none other than Kaiba who is with my best friend Tea Gardner. Now I have been the only one to take care of the baby since Melanie was always getting ready and going places with her friends. I admit that I got drunk out of pain once and wasn't a very good father then and I am sorry for it. That is all I have to say Mr. Joni."
Tea began clapping and soon everyone in the class was clapping and chanting Joey's name. Melanie was still at the front of the classroom in shock. Tea smiled as she looked back at her blonde haired friend.
Mr. Joni motioned Melanie to sit down and then said, "Okay that was a very interesting speech Mr. Wheeler, know we will have Mr. Kaiba and Ms. Gardner." Kaiba got up followed by Tea and they together made their way to the front of the room.
Tea saw that Joey was giving her a thumbs up sign and she began. "These last few days have been interesting for Seto and I. We went from enemies from opposite sides to the best of friends and a great couple. Together we have taken care of this baby and wrote our paper."
Kaiba put his arm around the brunette, much to the shock of everyone in the class. Then he said, "We have learned that things can change for better or worse and things aren't always what they seem. Thank you, Mr. Joni, for this experience. We really enjoyed it."
Then they sat down while everyone around them cheered. After a few more couples, the bell rang and everyone barreled out of the class. Serenity stayed behind with Michael. Tea walked over to them and greeted Serenity.
"Did you get a hold of Mia?"
"Yes and I told her everything. She says that she'll come to our house at four so she can not only make sure that Joey is ready, but also help me get ready."
Tea smiled and then looked back at the brown haired boy standing next to her with his arm around her waist. "Come on, let's get going." Kaiba agreed and carried Tea's books as they walked down the hall together.
Soon school ended and everyone was ready for that nights dance. Kaiba held Tea's hand as they got into the limo. "Are you ready for everyone who doesn't know already to find out about us?"
"As ready as I'll ever be. I'm just glad Joey found out about Melanie. That was an amazing speech that he made in class."
"Yeah Wheeler's got some brains, I guess."
Tea laughed as Kaiba said this. Before long they reached Tea's house and she walked inside. Kaiba rode back to the mansion after he said goodbye to Tea.
Later that night at six, Kaiba came back to the house he had left earlier and knocked on the door. A man answered and ushered Kaiba in. When the brown haired boy went in the living room, he saw a brown haired woman who was obviously Tea's mother.
Then a small cough came from behind them and Kaiba turned to see Tea. Her long flowing dress was the same color as Kaiba's eyes and it hugged her thin figure perfectly. It was a "v-neck" and her cerulean eyes twinkled brightly.
Tea studied Kaiba carefully. He had a black tuxedo on just like most boys going to a dance would, but somehow he looked different. Like that tux was especially for him. His broad shoulders were displayed handsomely and his dark blue eyes seemed to be brighter than usual.
"Well, Seto, I guess we should go."
"Um…oh yeah." He offered her his arm and Tea took it willingly. Her parents smiled as Tea and Kaiba walked out the door together and into the limo. Once again Kaiba held the door open for Tea.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you. You look very handsome."
The rest of the ride to the auditorium where the dance was being held was silent. When they arrived at the auditorium, bright lights nearly blinded them and they could hear music inside.
Kaiba offered Tea his arm once more and they walked in together. The music changed to a slower pace and everyone began slow dancing. Kaiba grabbed Tea and pulled her closer to him.
Her arms wrapped around him and they began dancing. It seemed they were dancing on air and Tea never wanted to stop. She looked up at Kaiba and cerulean eyes met dark blue. The high school boy moved closer to Tea and closed his eyes.
Their lips pushed against each other in a sweet sense of passion. Slowly Tea broke the kiss and whispered, "I love you, Seto."
The brown haired boy looked down at the girl in his arms and replied, "I love you too, Tea."
Above in the night sky, stars shown brightly. The young couple went outside, hand and hand, and looked up at the twinkling stars. Tea looked at the brown haired boy and asked, "Will you always love me and be there for me, Kaiba?"
He looked down at her and answered, "Yes. I'll always love you and I'll always be there for you for better or worse."
With those final words, Kaiba leaned down and cupped Tea's face in his hands then kissed her.
Okay! I'm finished. I know it's a really sappy ending. I have really got to quit reading those romance fics. Hope you like the story and PLEASE REVIEW!
