In The End
Chapter 6: Soaked
It was now Friday of the same week of the elevator incident and Kaiba lying on top of her. Serenity blushed and quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed, she was currently standing outside of her school building, classes had just ended for the week. She hadn't heard from Mokuba or Kaiba since Monday after she left the mansion. She had mainly spent her week going to school, then going to dance practice and, believe it or not, thinking about Kaiba. It scared her a little that she thought about him as much as she did. She didn't even know him! Yet she thought about him.
She had another free weekend, though she wasn't really looking forward to it. To spend a whole weekend alone… wasn't really her idea of fun. The only homework she had was a history paper, which was due on the upcoming Monday. She decided that she would walk to the library and get to work on her paper and hopefully finish it. History was most probably one of her favorite subjects, so it wouldn't be that hard to finish.
She started walking in the general direction of the library, taking her time. She hated her life… it was pretty much meaningless…besides maybe her dancing. She loved dancing, that was almost certainly the only thing that kept her going. It made her feel young and careless and made her forget things that left scars…no past, no memories. Her cell phone ringing interrupted her thoughts. Yes, she did have a cell phone; she just didn't use it much.
"Hello?"
"Hi Serenity it's Mokuba!" He sounded excited and happy; she couldn't help but smile hearing his voice.
"Hey Mokuba, how are you doing?"
"Excellently and guess what!"
"What?" She chuckled.
"Seto is letting me invite you over for dinner, so you have to promise me that you will come?"
"Are you sure, cause I mean…" She was cut off.
"Yes I am positive, you can come around six and everything will be fine, do you promise?"
"Yes, I promise." Serenity said sincerely.
"See you then!" Mokuba then ended their conversation.
She couldn't help but smile as she continued walking, after putting her phone back in her bag. Maybe her weekend wouldn't be so boring after all.
Serenity shivered as she walked. It had become colder and, looking up at the sky, she knew why. It had turned gray and clouds covered the sky. A slight mist had also developed. It was going to rain very soon and it seemed like it would be hard rain too. She quickened her pace, hopefully she would make it to the library before the downpour.
She had successfully finished her paper and she had stayed after just relaxing in the library, She liked the feeling it gave her, like she was welcomed there, it made her feel warm inside. It was now five-thirty pm and she had just called a taxi, to take her to the Kaiba mansion. She was waiting outside because the library had just closed. Thankfully she was undercover, the rain was still beating down mercilessly. It had rained ever since she had arrived at the library, barely making it in time before the heavens unleashed itself.
She was relieved when the taxi stopped near her. She absolutely loved the rain, it was her favorite weather because to her it made the whole world seem calm, but she didn't want to be soaking wet at the dinner she would be attending. She was also happy that she remembered to put her jacket in her bag for 'just in case'. If she hadn't remembered, she would be freezing her ass off right now. Her bag was slung over her shoulder. Her history paper and other schoolbooks tucked safely in there.
She climbed into the taxi and told the address to the taxi driver. On the drive there, Serenity watched as the droplets splattered against the window. She was nervous. Would Kaiba also be there? Would he look at her like he did when they first met? At that thought Serenity immediately shook her head. She shouldn't think like this.
Before she knew it the taxi was parked outside the mansion gates. She went through the same process as before… just that this time it was in the rain. She paid the driver and jumped out of the taxi, quickly making her way towards the gate. Once again a guard popped out of nowhere. He didn't seem fazed that the rain was beating down on the both of them.
"Serenity Wheeler." She said her name before he asked. He just nodded his head and the gate opened.
"Someone will open for you at the front door."
She gave him an evil glare; he hadn't even offered her an umbrella!
She ran towards the grand staircase, all hope of arriving at the dinner 'dry' was lost, because she was completely drenched. What happened next made Serenity cry out loud.
She stumbled up the stairs and in that moment her bag fell, causing all her books and history papers to scatter across the stairs, immediately everything was wet. Serenity could do little else but try and save everything by crouching down and trying to salvage it all by shoving it quickly back into her bag. Mentally she was cursing.
Kaiba was situated by the window, a moment before he had been watching as the rain glided downwards through the sky before smashing against the earth, but now he was watching a figure hurriedly making its way up the staircase. To be more precise this 'figure' was the girl that had babysat Mokuba… Serenity. He watched as her bag fell and soon after she was trying to salvage her belongings from the harsh rain. He almost felt sorry for her, almost.
He made his way towards the front door, where she would be knocking at soon, wondering why she was here.
Both of them should have realized that Mokuba could be an evil scheming bugger.
