Serenity woke up the next morning, Saturday, in her own comfy bed. She looked at the clock and it said 11:30 a.m. so Joey must of let her sleep in. She rolled over, from her stomach to her back, and stretched. She started remembering last night. How that mean boy tricked her and how she fell right into his trick. She shivered remembering the club lady asking her if she was the new girl. Luckily Joey had rushed down there and comforted her. He wasn't angry with her, just scared because of what he thought might have happened to her in that part of town. Serenity decided to get up and have a good day with her friends and to make Joey dinner for being the best brother ever.

"Mmmmmm Serenity this is delicious! Just like usual haha." Joey said after a few bits of the food.

"Thanks Joey" Serenity blushed at the compliment. Her thanks wasn't just for the compliment but for him being such a good brother to her. She smiled and thought about how lucky she was to have him as a brother.

Kaiba Mansion

Kaiba was eating his dinner, prepared for him by his five star chief and staff. He let his mind wonder away from business and found himself thinking of that girl he sent to the strip club. He admitted it was mean but he didn't really care. It wasn't like she took the job or anything besides he didn't plan or ever seeing her again anyways. He sighed and brought the rest of his food up to his home office to finish up some work.

MONDAY MORNING: WHEELER HOUSE

"Come on Serenity. You don't want to be late for your first day!" Joey called up the stairs to his sister.

It was her first day at Domino City High and she was super excited. She already had some friends, well Joey's friends but he can share. After her eye surgery she went to live with Joey and her dad for a while. She decided to stay and finish High School, which would be two years, counting this junior year. Joey was a senior and his friends were too but they had some classes together because she was really smart.

"I'm coming!" she said excitedly as she rushed out the door after her brother. Luckily for them Joey was a fast driver and they got to school early. She was busy socializing with her new classmates and friends when a sleek black limo pulled up and out of it came the blue – eyed jerk from yesterday. She has horrified! He went to this school! She quickly turned away hoping he wouldn't recognize her.

"Serenity, you ok?" Tea asked

"Yeah I'm fine. No scratch that I'm great!" Serenity tried to sound convincing

"What wrong sis?" Joey asked seeing right through her bluff

"Joey" Serenity whispered, "That's the stranger who gave me the directions. The tall one with blue-eyes and the white coat"

"KAIBA! THAT JERK! I'm GOING TO KILL HIM!" Joey yelled in a rage

Before Tristian and Tea could restrain him Joey went marching up to the CEO and threw a punch right at his face. Joey's fist collided with Kaiba's face with a SMACK!

"You JERK! Never go near my sista again!" Joey yelled while cradling his punching hand. "Who knew moneybags had such a hard head!" Joey thought.

"You moron I don't even know your sister! Ha, the mutt has a sister! If you're a dog that would make her a b-" Kaiba started to say when Joey hit him again, with the other hand.

"Never ever call MY sister that! Ever!" Joey said.

Kaiba wasn't paying attention because he saw that auburn haired girl from Friday. Now he understood that she was Wheeler's sister. This was too perfect! Perfect revenge on the mutt for assaulting him. He'd seduce the sister or mock the living daylights out of her. He laughed to himself.

"What's so funny Kaiba?" Joey demanded

"You are Wheeler and your pathetic attempts to try and hurt or intimidate me. HA!" Kaiba said coolly not taking his eyes off the girl.

He started walking away but the turned and pulled something out of his pocket and gave it to Serenity.

"For you" He said smirking and left. Serenity just stood there stunned looking at the dollar bill in her hands. Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Yugi all stared in disbelief. Serenity threw it, not caring where it ended up, and ran to the bathrooms to cry. She eventually came out with the support of Tea and her new friend Mai Valentine. Serenity liked Mai because she was strong, beautiful, and confident. She liked all these qualities and admired Mai for them. She also knew she was the girl her big brother had a crush on. Well Serenity approved of her.

Later that day Mai ran into the one and only Kaiba. Mai had heard the whole story. She gave him a piece of her mind.

"How dare you do that to her! She's only 17 years old! Serenity is the sweetest, nicest, most loving girl and you have the nerve to send her to a strip club and treat her like a hooker! I cannot believe you! I know you're a slimy lowlife but just stay away from her! If I hear you hurt her again I'll kill you!"

"Whatever Valentine just try." Kaiba taunted

"Don't tempt me" Mai responded

"Why does everyone keep defending her? Maybe she can't defend herself because she's so "sweet and nice", no ones like that. I bet it's because she's innocent in that way and I'm calling her the opposite of what she really is. Hmm.." Kaiba thought to himself on the limo ride home.

The next day Serenity wasn't so excited for school because she knew he was there. She didn't know why he enjoyed tormenting her like that. Every said he was always like that but she knew a person wasn't born a monster because monsters aren't born they're created. Her Dad was nice then the alcohol turned him into a monster until the divorce and then he sobered up because he didn't want to lose his kids. Now he's a great dad. She wondered about what had turned him for a second but snapped out of it after she realized she was going to be late for school.

"NO this can't be happening!" Serenity thought as the teacher read off science partners for the year! She was so panicked because of who her science partner was, Seto Kaiba! "He must have planned this!" she was freaking out and getting so nervous because of her thoughts about what might happen over the year!

"Whoa, I didn't even know she was in this class! If I had I would have actually planned this. Ha Ha this is going to be a good year!" Kaiba thought evilly to himself.

"Alright everyone get with your assigned partner and go to your assigned lab tables! Welcome to Advanced Bio!" The teacher announced.

Serenity almost passed out when he sat down next to her at lab table 9. She was looking at the ground and was trembling. Kaiba noticed her behavior and smirked. "Good she's afraid of me." He thought. They were given packets and told to read through all the safety information and that there will be a quiz. Serenity used her work as an escape to avoid and ignore the blue-eyed boy. She was almost done studying when she felt something tough her foot. She looked down and realized it was his foot and he was trying to "play footsies" or something. She put her feet back behind her so he couldn't reach them, not even when he stretched to full length. So he "dropped" his pencil. She didn't see the fake "drop" and reflexively went to pick it up when she realized what she was doing and was horified she fell for his games again! She shyly returned the pencil and he smirked that awful smirk he always does when he wins.

For the rest of the year Serenity hated Bio class. She used to love it but not with him around. He always messed up her learning or fun or concentration. When dissecting the frogs he made her make all the incisions even after she had passed out. When they had to do a group project he insisted that he do it all because she would surly make him fail. And so on and so on. When the projects were done with most students threw them away so the big trash barrel they had brought in was completely full. Serenity offered to get rid of it by taking it down, by elevator, to the janitor so he could dump it.

"Serenity thank you but I want someone to go with you" The teacher was saying, "How about you Mr. Kaiba?"

"No problem Mr. Brown" Kaiba said while looking a Serenity.

Serenity just walked ahead of him to the elevator. She was determined to ignore him no matter what. They were on the school's third and top floor so they had to go down to level 1. Serenity pushed the little button and it lit up. Just as they started approaching level 2 of the school the lights flickered. The after just passing level 2 approaching level 1 the elevator stopped and all the lights went out.

"Eeeep" Serenity squeaked as the scary thought of being alone in the dark with Seto Kaiba sunk in.
