Why must life be so complicated? Teachers with their stupid, student tutors. Seriously, what's up with that? Why would you ask a student to teach when, for one, it's your job, and two, you chose to do this and now you're telling us to do it? How lazy is that. Teachers are stupid.

"You're still mad, Joey?" asks Yugi, who was quietly eating some carrots for lunch. I think I scared him or something when I started talking about what my teacher is making us do. Well, I wasn't exactly talking, it was more like yelling.

"Yes, I'm very, very mad," I respond as calmly as I could.

"You want to be alone for a while?"

"No, you can stay if you want."

Yugi stays in his seat and I try to calm myself down enough so that I don't punch the table.

"Joey, it's not that bad. If you study more then you'll be at least passing the class and Kaiba won't have to tutor you, so the more you study the faster your grade will rise," says Yugi, who was trying to calm me down. It's not working.

"Whatever." I really don't want to argue about how I'm never going to get my grade up because, if you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly smart. Especially when it comes to math.

Besides, Kaiba is going to be my tutor – the guy who hates my guts and is not afraid to show it. I bet he's going to say something like, "Guess I have to train the mutt," or something like that. Doesn't he get tired of calling me a dog? It gets old.

(Later that day, at Kaiba's masion)

Mokuba is at his friend's house once again. At least he won't be here when the mutt arrives; he'd only distract us. I need that stupid mutt to raise his grades fast – I have better things to do, like figuring out how to beat Yugi in a duel.

Someone knocks on the door. "Come in," I call.

One of the maids walks in with her head down.

"M-Mr. Kaiba," she greets softly, "a Joey Wheeler is here to see you."

"Bring him here."

She nods and quickly walks out of the room. Minutes later, the stupid mutt enters the room carrying textbooks and notebooks. The first thing he says is, "Can we just get started? No teasing, name calling, or arguing for once? I know you hate this as much as I do, so let's just get this over with, ok?"

"Fine then, mutt."

"Damn it, why do you make my life a living hell?!"

"Because it's entertaining."

So after 30 minutes of arguing, we finally got some work done. It's almost impossible to teach him. I could argue that teaching him is harder than running Kaiba corp.

"Is this right?" asks Joey, who then shoves the paper in my face. I yank it out of his hand and look over it quickly.

"Finally, you got it right."

"Not everyone is as smart as you, ok!"

"Yes, I know, but most people understand something by the first five times they've been repeated the same thing over and over again. Are you so much of an idiot that you can't listen to what I'm trying to tell you!"

"Fuck, have you ever thought that you can't teach? I don't even want to be here, so guess what? I'm leaving!"

"Leave. No one is stopping you."

He quickly grabs his books and storms out of the room.

"Big brother?" I hear a timid voice speak up once he's gone.

"Mokuba, I thought you were at a friend's house."

"I was, and then I left."

"Oh."

"Seto, you really like Joey, don't you?"

"What!?" I exclaim, looking at him incredulously. "Why would you even think that I would like someone as stupid as him!"

"You always tease him and no one else, so I thought you had a crush on him or something." He shrugs after that, which gives me the impression that he thinks he's right but just doesn't want to anger me.

"I don't like him, I hate him," I explain.

"Keep telling yourself that," Mokuba says before running out of the room.

"GET BACK HERE, I'M NOT DONE TALKING!"

(Mokuba's P.O.V)

My brother likes Joey. It's obvious. I mean, why is Joey the one he chooses to tease so much? Maybe he likes Joey but he doesn't know it yet; I know it's hard for my brother to understand his feelings sometimes. Besides, I doubt he's ever had a crush on anyone before Joey. Maybe I should help him out a bit, first by getting him to actually admit he likes Joey. Maybe I should start now.

"MOKUBA!"

You know what, maybe that's not such a great idea, he sounds pissed right now. The great thing about living in a mansion is that there's lots of places to hide and lots of space to run.
