*************Chapter 1 *************
Yami had already been in his seat for the last half hour, struggling to finish last night's assignment. Mrs. Nolwenn had asked him why it wasn't done, and he told her simply, "I forgot." They both knew this was bullshit. He saw the worry in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and he ignored her after that. He was so engrossed in his work that he barely even glanced up when he heard the door open. He then did a double take, when he saw a face that he didn't recognize. That never happened; every student in Domino High knew every other student. That was just how things worked. The newcomer's icy eyes briefly met Yami's before he broke the contact to resume writing.
"Oh! You must be Seto! Welcome! Come in, come in!" Mrs. Nolwenn gushed, fussing over the new student as if he were a very small child. The boy merely nodded, not saying a word. As the teacher bustled about, showing Seto the room, Yami glanced at him once again. Tall, lean, brown hair. Nothing out of the ordinary there. He had bright blue eyes, but again, that wasn't that uncommon. Sure he was good looking, but he exuded a chilly aura, as if it would be impossible to really get close to him. That was fine by Yami. As long as this guy didn't bother him, he would be perfectly happy. Yami shook himself mentally, writing furiously to make up for the lost moments, finishing the assignment just as the first bell rang, bringing with it a stream of students. To his irritation, he could feel the new kid- what was his name? Oh, yeah, that Seto kid- watching him as he got his stuff together. Although it made him very uncomfortable, he did his best to ignore the other boy completely.
Initially upon entering the classroom, Seto thought that it was empty until a slight movement caught his eye. There was a boy in one of the front row desks writing furiously. When he heard the door, the boy caught Seto's gaze for a moment, before going back to whatever he was doing, seeming totally uninterested.
Although the eye contact had lasted only a few seconds, it was enough to pique Seto's interest. Those eyes- crimson? He had never seen crimson eyes in his life. Hell, he didn't even know that they came that color, except on albinos, and even then, it was usually a lighter, less intense red.
It was then that the teacher swooped down on him, very flustered. He smiled; she almost reminded him of a chicken, the way she seemed panicked, and she kept making weird squawking noises. Finally, after much deliberation, she directed him to a seat in the back of the room (Will you be okay back there? Can you see? Are you sure?).
As he half listened to the woman's ramblings, and after class had started, he slyly studied the other boy from the corner of his eye. He really was pretty weird looking. Not in a bad way at all, but still, weird. For one thing, there were those eyes. His hair was tousled, sticking up oddly in places. The colors, like his eyes, were strange, but oddly enough, didn't seem unnatural. Bits of it were a dark red, auburn color, while other parts were closer to black, and among all that, there were streaks of sun-bleached blond. Some of the blond tresses kept falling into his face as he worked, refusing to stay put. He had bronzed skin, as if he had spent time in the sun, although given the amount of rain that Domino was said to get, Seto wasn't sure how that was possible. He was tall and lanky, muscular, and Seto had the feeling that he might be one of those people who all of the girls hated for his ability to eat an entire quart of Ben and Jerry's without gaining an ounce, but at the same time wanted to be with, because he was, well, gorgeous.
