Redo Chapter Two
"H-H-Hello. I-I'm Kisara Strife."
Somehow the voice seemed familiar to Seto, and so did the name. He took a card out of his pocket and ran his thumb over the surface. It was smooth, but he could feel the ridges where the pen had dug into the paper. He already knew what it said but looked at it again. It read, 'Kisara Strife' and she (or he thought it was her) had drawn a small lifelike version of her self. He flipped the card and looked at the other side. That side held her number and a smiley face. Seto remembered how amused Nishioka was. Seto sighed and stuffed the card back into his pocket. He didn't know how it stayed in his pocket even thought he changed or why he refused to trash it. He glanced at Nekoette. The bluenette was glaring angrily at the newcomer and the poor pencil was trying its hardest to stay in one piece. Not desiring to look at the newcomer he looked everywhere but the front. Unfortunately his curiosity (of what, I dunno) got the better of him and he started observing her being torn to pieces by the curious class. 'Maybe if they were this interested in their work they would actually get grades.' he thought with an eye roll.
Despite himself, his eyes strayed back to the girl in the front of the class. Unlike how she was at KaibaCorp, she seemed as fragile as glass and extremely shy. 'Then again,' he thought, 'Nishioka had told me she was extremely quiet. She did stutter a bit when I was talking to her. I guess it adds up.'
As much as he tried his eyes kept on wandering back to her. He looked at the nervousness in her eyes as she quietly answered the questions. "Okay class, I think that's enough questions." the teacher chuckled, "You can sit with..." he said pausing as he looked for an empty seat, "Mr. Kaiba." the teacher said. On her fair ivory skin, the light blush seemed to be much brighter. She sat down quietly next to the CEO. "You said you went to college." Seto whispered to her
"I did! I was just extremely young." she whispered back, her blush brightening
"How are you going to deal with being a secretary and school?" he asked
"I dunno, you can do it then so can I." she sassed, looking at her nails with coral colored cheeks
"Why do you need a high school degree if you've already went to college then." he said with a snort
"What about you?" she asked, now wishing she had cleaned her nails.
Seto turned away from the girl. Kisara glanced at him and twisted her dark hair around her finger. As she was nibbling her hair she looked past the boy genius and at the bluenette behind him. Tempted, but still knowing better, she poked Seto. He glared at her angrily. "Um, Mr. Kaiba, is she your girlfriend? Not to be rude or prying but she looks like you except a girl." Kisara whispered, playing with her fingers again
"What do you mean by that?" he frowned
"Rich. Snobby. Sassy." she listed
"Was, if you could even call it that." he said before turning back to class. Kisara decided not to push it anymore and left him alone.
The bell rang and the students made the room a ghost town. The only other people in there were a girl and the teacher. The girl waltzed over to Kisara. "Hi! I'm Anzu Mazaki. If you need any help, you could asked me." the girl said brightly
"T-Thanks." Kisara said, blushing lightly. Anzu leaned towards Kisara's ear and whispered, "Do you know Kaiba? Because he didn't snap your head off when you poked him."
"I'm actually his new secretary's assistant." Kisara replied, a bit happy
"Good for you! But you're not supposed to have a job. I do but it's after school. I work at Burger World." Anzu whispered back
"Then what am I supposed to do? Mr. Kaiba has a million bucks he can pay them but I don't!" Kisara squealed
"Shh! Calm down. Anyway how did you get that job anyway?" Anzu asked
"I went to college when I was younger." Kisara muttered, her blush coming back
"Hmm." was all Anzu said. Kisara was afraid she had said something wrong. "Anyway I let you borrow my notes! You could tutor me too, right? I mean, it's not like I have bad grades it would just be nice to have better ones." Anzu said
"Oh Anzu-chan your the best!" Kisara smiled, hugging her new friend
"You don't have to use -chan! We're friends, right?" Anzu said. Kisara nodded, her scarlet cheeks fading. The girls traded numbers and parted ways. Kisara felt like she was on top of the world. She had made a new friend, and she could still keep her job! The bell rang and knocked her out of her day dream as she headed to her next class.
"I made it to lunch." Kisara said, drooling from hunger
"Congrats!" Anzu cheered, leading her friend by the arm to the cafeteria.
"I'm so hungry..." Kisara moaned. Anzu dragged Kisara to the line.
"Don't worry, they're serving tacos today." Anzu smiled. Kisara's face just glowed from happiness. After getting their trays Kisara asked Anzu where they would sit. "Normally, I'd sit with my friends but they're more rowdier than usual and I don't want to lose another girl friend." Anzu said as Kisara laughed
"So for today we'll sit by ourselves." Anzu finished
As they chatted, Kisara realized that she had seen a couple of big plays with Anzu in it. "Wow, you must be an amazing dancer." Kisara said admiringly
"Thanks." Anzu said, blushing a bit, "So you play an instrument, right?" Anzu asked
"Several actually. I play-" Kisara started
"Hey, brat!" someone shouted. Anzu and Kisara turned to see Nekoette and her throng where stomping towards them. "Um, does she mean me? Well, bye Anzu." Kisara said with a sigh
"What? Where are you going?" Anzu asked
"So you aren't going to let me suffer social degrading alone?" Kisara asked hopefully
"Of course not! We're friends. If anything I'll just keep quiet. I won't leave." Anzu snorted
"Thanks." Kisara said, giving her friend a quick hug before the menace stopped in front of them.
"Leave Seto alone." Nekoette snorted
"Oy, Nekoette, don't you run a fashion company or something? Aren't jobs not allowed in school?" Anzu interrupted
"Back off Twinkle-toes." Nekoette snapped. Maybe it was the fact that Kisara finally found another friend who would stand up for her that she decided to use her spoon to launch her untouched sour cream right in the bluenette's face. It let out a loud belch when it came in contact and everyone looked where they were. "Y-Y-You-" Nekoette kept on stuttering
"Back off!" Kisara hissed, quite annoyed. Nekoette was able to give the duo one good Kaiba-worthy glare before her friends took her away to be cleaned up. Unfortunately for Nekoette everyone had seen it and was spreading it around. There were two people you didn't mess with in this school, Nekoette and Kaiba, and Kisara and just creamed (A/N: Eh, eh? Get it? no... .n.) Nekoette. "Well you just got yourself a massive following." Anzu said with a grin, tucking into another taco
"And a massive cult against me." Kisara said with a sigh before following her friends example.
