CH 5
Hey everyone sorry it took sooooo long to get this chapter up! I was really clueless as to how I wanted to proceed with the story. It took so many tries and so far this is the best I have. I hope you like it! Please let me know if it's a good progression!
The teen CEO's abnormal behavior only lasted for a few more days. On Friday he sat down in his seat looking refreshed. Serenity was glad he was okay, but wondered if the teasing would return with his old self. She quickly stole a glance over to where he sat. He caught her eyes with his own and she quickly looked away.
"Why don't you take a picture, Wheeler. It'll last longer" he said in the usual tone he used when insulting people
"I guess he's back to normal" Serenity thought and rolled her eyes
"So I guess you're just going to ignore me" Kaiba stated
"Who could ignore you, Kaiba?" Serenity said her voice hinting annoyance
"If you think no one can ignore me, than why are you trying?" he asked with a smug look on his face. Serenity knew he was purposely pressing her buttons, which only made her more upset.
"Hmmmm…did I hear something? Must have been the wind" Serenity said out loud trying to press his buttons
"Seriously Wheeler? That's so fourth grade" he said
Serenity could feel her temper rising but was trying to keep her cool. She decided not to answer in hopes the conversation, or argument, would end.
"So now you're giving me the silent treatment. That is so middle school. Why can't you just act your age Wheeler?" he said trying to get the reaction he wanted, which was to see her temper. He couldn't stand how sheltered she was and how she just took the mean things he said without fighting back. He knew there was a fire in there somewhere and was just dying to get it out. By this time Serenity had turned herself away from him and was fully immersing herself in the teacher's lecture.
"You're so weak Wheeler. You know that right? Have you ever stood up for yourself? Like ever?" he continued
"Will you please stop talking to me?" she said not bothering to turn and look at him
"Will you stop being rude?" Kaiba shot back
This time Serenity turned to face him. He thought she was the rude one? "Me? Being rude to you?" she asked, her voice full of agitation and sarcasm
"You are the one ignoring me, and that is rude. And I thought you got the manners in the family" Kaiba said
"Well I wouldn't have to try and ignore you if you wouldn't constantly insult me and my family" she said narrowing her eyes
"Well maybe you should just stand up for yourself" he said
"Will you stop!" Serenity almost yelled "It is not your place to tell me what to do and I have the right to do whatever I want whenever I want! Whatever I do has nothing and will never have anything to do with you! So just leave me alone!" she finished and was almost gasping for air after her outburst. She looked at him and was shocked to see him leaning back in his chair smirking. Before she could comprehend what was happening she heard someone behind her.
"Ms. Wheeler is there a problem?" Mr. Brown said
Serenity shot Kaiba a dirty look before turning around "No, there's no problem. I'm sorry for interrupting"
"I'm sure you are Ms. Wheeler, I'll be seeing you in detention after school today" Mr. Brown said as he walked back to the front of the room
Serenity felt her face turn red. She had never gotten into trouble at school before. What would Joey think? She shook her head and tried not to think about it because she knew she' d probably be grounded at home for the week.
After class she went to her locker to change books. She didn't realize who had followed her.
"Good job" Kaiba said
"Are you stalking me now?" Serenity said back, she was in no mood for this
"Nope" he said
"Then why are you at my locker?" she said
"I'm just here to ask you if you're going to detention" he said
Serenity looked at him with a confused look on her face
"You did say that you had the right to do whatever you wanted and I am assuming detetion is not something you enjoy so…" he said
"Stop. Just stop, okay? I can't just not go" she said closing her locker and heading for her next class
"You could skip it. If you really wanted to" he tempted
"And what else would I do?" she asked
"What would you rather do?" he asked
"Go skydiving" she said sarcastically and walked into her next class
Serenity worried about detention for the rest of the day. It was hard for her to concentrate on school when she was busy regretting her behavior. After the last bell she started for Mr. Brown's room. When she turned the corner she saw Kaiba standing outside the door.
"What are you doing here?" she asked
"The real question is: What are you doing here?" he countered
"I have detention, thanks to you, so I have to be here" she said. He moved to block the door.
"Move!" she said crossing her arms
"I'll move after you tell me you want to go to detention" he said
" I want….I-i…" She started "Okay fine I don't want to go! Happy?" she said
"You just lied to me!" Kaiba said sounding frustrated
"Just move" Serenity said
"Fine, but your coming with me" he said took hold of her upper arm and started walking her down the hall
"What are you doing? Kidnapping me?" she asked not really fighting
"Do you want me to kidnap you?" he asked smirking
Serenity sighed and pulled her arm out of his grasp but continued walking with him. They walked out of school and got into his car.
"Where are we going?" she asked
"You'll see" he said smugly
"Great" Serenity said sarcastically
So what did you think? Any ideas as to where to go next? In two minutes you could make me whole day! Reviews mean so much!
