Social Pressure
Chapter three: Reunited By a Bitch
"Hasn't that girl been a little too suspicious lately?"
"Yeah I agree. Lately she has been tagging along with Seto, a lot."
"And if I remember right, she has a boyfriend."
"It looks like she's getting Seto in the same situation she tried to get you in, Bakura."
"Yeah, it seems like it. But she was naïve to think that I could be startled by that. She entered on the second year and immediately took notice of me."
"But she didn't know your reputation or your contacts."
"Yeah… my contacts…"
"Yes you have way too many."
It's lunch break and as they munch away their time, they discussed the current situation, sitting on a bench under a tree. Across the basketball field Seto and Tea are sitting. Yes, Tea is the name of that girl they are talking about.
"Off course I do. I'm the CAPTAIN of the basketball team. Not only that, but my two best friends: one is the vice-captain, or whatever you may call it, of the football soccer team, and the other is one of the two black belts in Judo in the whole school. We're charismatic and we get along well with the freshmen. So in the end my best friends' contacts are my contacts as well. In my case I have most of the boys' basketball team and definitely about 80% of the girls' basketball team on my side." Every word that came out of Bakura in that statement was full of arrogance.
Yami smiled to Bakura, probably just laughing because his best friend was so full of himself. "In other words, you're popular."
"Even though you're gay." Marik whispered out.
"Yeah and so! I like guys! Got a problem?"
"Not at all. I myself like a guy."
"You do Marik? You're gay?" Yami looked at Marik with a puzzled brow.
"Ah- I'm in love with a guy so yeah… I guess that makes me gay… I think… Yeah… You know, I don't know. I just like a guy that's all." Marik takes his last sip of his orange juice.
"Who is he?" Bakura asked eager to know.
"I can't tell you right now. I'm still confused about it myself."
"Oh… Well when you're sure. Just tell us." Yami's smile, like always, was refreshing.
-o-o-o-o-
About a month and a half has passed since Seto entered this school. It was a sunny Wednesday morning; the bell that announced the lunch break just rang and just before anyone could leave the class room, Ms. Tea got on top of the teachers desk and announced at full lung the most horrible thing Seto has heard in all of his life in High School.
"Your attention please. Do not leave this room or attempt to leave this room. My next message concerns everyone and I know it will be of your interest."
"Is Ms. I-think-I'm-the-queen-of-the-world going to finally fucking shut up her yap?" Bakura stood up smirking; everyone looked at him and laughed at his remark.
"Anyway." Her right hand showed her middle finger to Bakura. "Recently I know you've notice I've been with Seto a lot. And guess what?" When Seto heard his name he immediately looked up from his desk. "Yesterday he asked me if I wanted to be her girl and gave me this beautiful drawing of me." Tea got off of the teacher's desk and walked to where Seto was sitting. "Yeah right, Seto." She tore the piece of paper right in front of his face. "Like I will ever date the likes of you!" Like confetti, she threw the pieces over his head. "You arrogant, piece of shit, slutty bastard. You have no ears, you have no social future. You want to know why I started to be friendly. 'Cause I wanted to learn a secret of yours and tell everyone about it. But this is much better! You asking me out! You just ran right into my trap. Go to hell ear-less whore!"
Seto stood up and without looking at anyone he walked out of the room.
"You over did it." The comment came from across the room.
"Bitch." Yami yelled out without thinking it twice.
"What did you just call me?"
"B-I-T-C-H. Bitch. Or is your brain so dry that you can't even process such a simple word."
"You bas-"
"Bitch." Marik followed. Once Marik saw Yami's smirk, he knew what he wanted to do.
"You!"
"And me."
"Bakura? What do you want?"
"You do remember bitch what I told a year ago about you messing with my friends right?" Jumping over a row, Bakura walked to where she stood. "Well, for your info, I like that guy. He isn't a putrid asshole like a certain bitch I'm looking at. You messed with him, you messed with me. So you better hide bitch, I'm gonna make it so that you'll be afraid to ever have crossed my path."
While her face was glaring her ears were in defense position. With nothing to say, she just walked out of the room while everyone, except her friends, call her a bitch when she passed by.
Marik, Yami and Bakura laughed in silence at her and at her approaching doom.
-o-o-o-o-
"Are you okay Seto?"
"You know, it's okay to cry." Yami sat down next to Seto and hugged him.
Right after Tea left the classroom, they all grabbed their lunches. Yami and Marik went to look for Seto while Bakura went somewhere else to do something. Yami and Marik were thinking of a perfect place to hide in school after being humiliated in front of your whole class: at the rooftop behind the greenhouse. Not many people know about, it's quiet and distant from civilization. Perfect if you want to be alone.
Seto couldn't resist not crying anymore. He hid his face in Yami's chest and silently cried. Marik at the other end made circles with the palm of his hands on Seto's back while saying, "Cry all you need to cry. We're here for you."
It didn't take long before Seto stopped crying, though he was reluctant of letting go of Yami's waist. He was hugging him in despair. "Why?" Seto whispered out and finally let go of Yami to look at him directly in the eye.
"Why what?"
"Why after me being such an ass to you, you come here and act all Mr. Nice-guy like if nothing happened?"
Yami's ears went low and to the sides. "Because…" He looks down, then up again to meet with Seto's cold eyes. "You did hurt my feelings. But the next day you apologized, and even though ever since then we haven't talked a lot, I still like you and I know you're not an asshole by nature. Everyone deserves a second chance."
"And that bitch already used her second chance." Bakura stepped in just in time. "Here Seto, you lunch."
"Thanks." Seto took it, not very sure about Bakura's presence.
"You want revenge on that girl, Seto?" Bakura sat in front of him and took out of his pocket his sandwich and a juice box.
Seto looked up at Bakura's smirking evil face. "Talk." He took a bite of his onigiri.
"You don't have to do anything; I already have it in process."
"So that's why you took so long." Yami took Bakura's juice and gave it a sip.
"But what is it about?"
"Don't worry about the little details Seto. You aren't going to be blamed about it, so no need to fret. You'll see my plan in action in about one or two days. You'll know, I'll tell you." Bakura grabbed one piece of dango from Marik's plate.
"And why are you doing this?" Seto's brow began to wrinkle, but not because of the evil smirk plastered on the face of the man in front of him, but because of the weird way the three guys around him are sharing their food. Not asking for permission and just picking whatever they like of each other's food.
"Why…? Hmm…" Bakura's mouth puckered up and his ears pointed upwards. "Two reasons. Number one: I still like you. Number two: the bitch asked for it."
"Yami pass me one of those things." Marik reached out to Yami's plate that had shrimp tempura.
"And you pass me some of your pickles."
They exchanged plates and put a little serving of what they got from the other in a little bowl.
"Um, guys. Can I ask you something else?"
"Sure, shoot." Bakura said as he reached out to grab Yami's little carton of milk.
"Why do you guys pick from each other's meals and drink from each other's drinks?" Seto had his other onigiri in his hand ready to eat.
"Because…" Yami took a bite of Bakura's sandwich.
"It's boring to eat just from your own plate…" Marik finished eating the shrimp tempura.
"When you have so many other dishes in front of you…" Bakura took the last sip of Yami's milk.
"Hey my milk!"
-o-o-o-o-
Two days have passed since the incident with Tea and Seto. Seto wasn't really teased after the show Tea delivered, rather Tea was called a bitch everywhere she went for the rest of the day. She has been avoiding any contact at all with Bakura, Yami, Marik or Seto, and every time that by coincidence she laid her eyes on them, they would return it with a big smirk.
Seto was lured by the trio and now they eat meals together on the bench under the tree in front of the basketball field. Although, he still isn't used to eating the way those three eat, but he's getting there. He started by stating that if they wanted anything from his food to just grab it, and naturally they did, but they also left a piece of whatever they were eating on his plate so that he could have a taste of it all as well.
"Our plan starts this evening and ends next Monday at lunch hour." Bakura announced as he sat down next to Yami.
"So can you finally tell me what you're doing?"
"Yes Seto, okay…" Bakura took a piece of Seto's roll cake and left some yakisoba on its place. "I rounded up 15 out of many people that have been affected by Tea's little attitude and suggested revenge."
"Many people?"
"Most of the second year and third year, us, hate her guts."
"Why? What has she done to them?"
Bakura looked at Seto and took a big breath. "When the second year students were freshmen, she had them bombed in lunch break with water filled balloons and buckets filled with water; from the rooftop someone threw confetti and flour afterwards and waiting at their seats was honey. Their bags were disposed in the cafeteria's garbage bin with all the rotten food and their books scattered all over the school campus. About twenty people helped her and about 200 were affected. We all blamed it on her and she didn't negate it."
"And what did the teachers do?"
"She was almost expelled but her parents stepped in and she was absent from school for a week and had to do double social work hours." Marik put his head on Seto shoulders. "Has anyone ever told you, you have beautiful eyes?"
"Yeah many. The other day he told me so." Seto pointed to Yami.
"Flirting are we?" Bakura laughed.
"Oh shut up!" Yami pushed Bakura from the shoulder.
"Wait! You still haven't told me what the plan is about."
"Oh yeah the plan. Listen carefully, 'cause I won't repeat myself."
Tea's both parents work almost all day so after school there in no one at her house. When Bakura used to date her; yes they dated, that was when she tried to pull a prank on the basketball team's captain but in the end she was the one who got in trouble. She wanted to separate him from his two best friends and together be like the "King" and "Queen" of the school but Bakura knew better and wasn't that much of an asshole so in the end, the trio humiliated her and her future boyfriend, but that is another story.
So, when those two used to date, she took him on various occasions to her empty house and he learned many of her secrets. And today with her current boyfriend she does the same.
Step number one: Film her with her boyfriend, inside and outside of school. Her parents don't know about her dating, much less her almost-every-day routine of bringing a boy into the house and making out, undressing and almost having a sexual intercourse. This step will be carried out today, Friday.
Step number two: Convince her parents to come to school on Monday. Today Friday one of the guys in the revenge group with the manliest and most convincing teacher voice will call their parents explaining that their girl has been behaving in a weird way lately and they wish to talk to them next Monday. Of course they know that her parents will come, after all she wasn't expelled the last time because of them.
Step number three: "This is where you, Mr. Seto Kaiba, step in." Of course he isn't going to use his real name; they're going to use the name of the teacher that called them. In lunch break, when they'll hopefully arrive, Seto will be waiting for them at the entrance dressed in a proper teacher way and will introduce himself as said teacher and will walk them to the school's auditorium.
Step number four: Some of the kids in the AV Club will rent the auditorium and display on the giant screen through the projector The Daily Life of Ms. Tea to as many students as they can, to the teachers and her parents.
"Got it Seto?" Bakura took a big breath.
"Yeah…" He watched as Bakura drank his apple juice. Right now he was thinking, how can a man organize such plan? And our question is, how did he do it?
"Afraid of him, Seto?" Marik asked.
"A bit."
"Wait 'till his plan is put into action. We'll be there to watch it all and you're actually part of it. Good thing he's not against you." Yami pushed Seto with his elbow.
"You three scare me a little bit."
"Don't worry we're harmless." Marik smiled to Seto. "Well, at least Yami and I are."
Bakura just showed his scary side. Those four have begun to socialize and now… What's next?
Hope you enjoyed, Review and here are my comments to your comments:
kiki2222:But Yami didn't do anything wrong. Hmm, I wonder how you'll react when THAT happens.
SRRH:Yep in the future Yami will like Seto. Yes, they are inseparable. We have a saying for that here where I live, "They are like nail and grime". Disgusting but it has the same meaning as inseparable. But they are no more than friends.
dragonlady222:Seto is just cold because he doesn't want to get hurt anymore. Though in the future he will warm up.
