Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did I would probably have my own real life Seto Kaiba.
Noises surrounded her as Tea shut her locker. Basic boring day of school and I have health next, at least I only have this class and choir then the day is over, she thought as the brunette put her lock on. The sound of other lockers being slammed shut encircled her. Suddenly someone was leaning against the locker beside hers. It was a blonde boy with a green jacket on. He had his arms crossed and was smiling at her. "Hey Joey!" Tea said with a smile.
The blonde boy positioned his arm around her shoulder. "Hey Tea, so do ya need help with your books? They look pretty heavy and we have the same class anyway." Tea looked into his eyes and answered, "Why that's so sweet. Thank you Joey." After she handed her books to Joey, Tea fixed a stray piece of brown hair behind her ear and got a drink at the water fountain.
"Yeah that's just me the kind lovable Joey. Yep, I'm sweet, caring, lovable, and a good dancer just like you."
"Joey, are you trying to get me as a date for the upcoming dance?"
Joey pretended to be offended as he looked into Tea's cerulean eyes. "Why of course not! Who are you going with anyway?" Shifting his weight to his right foot, Joey leaned against another locker that was on the right side of the water fountain. A slight smile appeared on Tea's face as she looked at her friend. "I'm not going so why don't you ask Mia?"
"She said she can't go so I thought maybe I could go with you as friends and then I wouldn't look like I didn't have a date, but I guess I'll just have to be staying with the guys."
Finished getting a drink, Tea positioned herself back upright and looked at her blonde haired brown eyed friend.
"Come on, Joey. Let's get to class."
They soon approached the health room where Tea took her seat next to Duke. The black haired boy smiled as Tea placed her books that Joey had given back to her at the door on the floor and sat down in her light blue seat. Joey walked to the other side of the room to take his seat next to Tristan.
Tea looked around to see Joey's sister Serenity sitting in the middle of the class then she turned back to the black haired boy that was sitting next to her. "Hello Duke." Duke returned Tea's greeting then leaned back in his seat.
Across the room two desks behind Joey, a brown haired boy in a long blue jacket sat reading a book, waiting for the tardy bell to ring and class to begin. Seto Kaiba, thought Tea as she picked up her health book from off the floor.
An older man with a long white lab coat walked into the classroom and stood at the head of the class, but Tea didn't notice him. "Ms. Gardner, would you please pay attention! You will have plenty of time after school to look at boys!"
This seemed to get Kaiba's attention because he looked up and then looked at Tea. Surly her face was as red as a cherry since she had just been caught staring at Kaiba. "I'm sorry Mr. Joni." He nodded with approval and continued looking over the rest of the class.
"Today I will be pairing you up with someone and the pairings will be boy girl. The reason for this is because you two will have a pretend marriage and take care of a baby. Your baby will be a flour sack that has a sound box in there so that if you do not treat it right, the baby will cry."
Delight filled Tea. This would be a fun project.
Now let's start with Mr. Wheeler. You will be working with Ms. Kylaan." A tall girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a slim figure stood up and walked over to Joey. Mr. Joni handed them a flour sack and motioned for them to go to the back.
"Mr. Devlin. You will be working with Ms. Linter." Duke stood up and walked towards a pretty girl with curly red hair and bright black eyes. Freckles were all over her creamy face. That's good so far. Joey's paired with Melanie and Duke's paired with Kensie.
"Now I want Mr. Taylor to work with Ms. Hinders." Tristan smiled as a slender girl with long black hair pulled back walked over to him and took his extended arm. Her coffee brown eyes stared at him as Tristan took the flour sack from Mr. Joni.
"Next we have Ms. Wheeler working with Mr. Michael Linger." Serenity walked over to a boy with black hair and bright green eyes. He greeted her by taking her book for her and extending his arm. Joey was steaming in the back while Melanie tried to calm him down. Her arm was around his by now and Joey was a little calmer.
"Finally our last pair is Mr. Kaiba and Ms. Gardner." Shock escaped Tea as she heard who her partner was going to be. Suddenly Kaiba stood up and walked over to Tea who was still sitting in shock. When Kaiba reached her desk, he hissed "Come on, Gardner! Everyone else is in the back."
Tea looked around and realized that Kaiba was right. Everyone was in the back where the project tables were located. "I'm coming." Standing up, Tea fixed her shirt down.
Together they walked to the back and positioned themselves in the middle of the groups. Tea was holding onto the flour sack that Mr. Joni had given them.
Mr. Joni walked back there and announced, "You and your partner will have to rely on each other to hold up their part. This project will require you two to work together and sometimes work at each others house. I want you not only to take care of your sack, but I also want you to write a paper on how your marriage was and how taking care of the baby was. I hope all of you try your very hardest. I know pronounce you man and wife!"
Joey raised his hand, but didn't wait for Mr. Joni to call on him. "Do we take the sack to all of our classes?"
"Why of course Mr. Wheeler. What do you think you're going to do with it?"
Everyone laughed at Joey as he shrugged and smiled innocently at the teacher.
The bell ran and Joey was the first one out of the class followed by Duke and Tristan who also left the sack with their partners.
"Those boys are immature jerks" Tea said to the other three girls. "Don't mind them."
Serenity was still gathering her stuff at her desk when Tea walked over to her. "Hi, Serenity, I think your partner's really great. I bet you two will make a great team."
"Seto is extremely smart and so are you so your presentation should go well. Come on let's go to our last class."
They walked out the door and continued to talk as they dodged other students going the opposite direction.
"Besides I'm glad I got Michael because Joey doesn't know it, but I'm going with him to the dance. Who are you going with?"
"I don't even know if I'm going much less who I'd go with."
"I think I heard Joey ask Melanie and she said yes. So now they're going together. It looks like she's Joey's girl now."
"But I thought Joey had a thing for Mia."
"Oh he does it's just Mai's never around except when there's a duelist tournament or something like that so Joey thinks he needs a girl right here in school. Personally I think he's an idiot because I think Mai's great even if she isn't always around 24/7."
Tea agreed and walked with Serenity to choir. When they opened the door, Tea was surprised to see Kaiba talking to the teacher at her desk. She wanted to say something, but words couldn't come out of the brunette's mouth.
Cerulean eyes met mysterious blue as Tea looked up at Kaiba. Nothing came from the chocolate haired boy's lips. The woman behind the redwood desk stood up and walked over to Tea. Her green eye danced with delight as she said, "Tea, Seto is our new student in choir and I want you to help him out. Is that alright?" Not a word escaped the girl's mouth only a slight nod.
"Good now that that's settled, I'll let you tell him a little bit about our choir, Tea."
"Yes Ma'm Ms. Kilter."
Ms. Kilter placed a stray lock of black hair behind her ear and walked into her office. Once she was gone, Tea pointed to a couple of desks in the corner and motioned for Kaiba to sit down in one. Serenity was sitting in another desk across the room reading.
"What made you want to join choir. It seems that I'm your partner for a lot of things today." Kaiba stared at her coldly and replied, "That's none of your business, Gardner, and it's only been two things today. And it seems I'm the unfortunate one not you."
"What's that supposed to mean!" Tea yelled as she stared into Kaiba's dark blue eyes. The books and her backpack that she had placed on the desk fell as Tea stood up. Kaiba quickly grabbed the flour sack before it fell. Shock swept over Tea as Seto grabbed her wrist and pulled her down back into a sitting position.
"Sit down, Gardner! You're making a scene and would mind being more careful. We do get a grade on this you know!"
"I'm making a scene! Well maybe it's none of your business if I make a scene of what I do! Just because I'm your pretend wife doesn't mean it has to matter to you what I do!"
Rolling his eyes, Kaiba stood up and calmly said, "Okay do what you want. It's not like I care. You're right, just because I'm considered your pretend husband for now doesn't mean we need be personal with each other" Then he walked away towards the other choir students leaving Tea alone. A soft voice came from behind her and Tea looked around to see Serenity standing behind her.
"Why is Kaiba here and why were you and him in the corner talking?"
"Ms. Kilter wants me to "help" him because he's our new choir member."
Serenity was trying her hardest not to laugh. "Kaiba's our new choir member? He actually wants to sing!" She suddenly couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing. Tea joined in and they stayed there laughing until a certain boy approached them again.
"Gardner, Wheeler, do either of you know where I could just practice, think, or something away from everyone else?" Tea stood up and walked towards Kaiba until she was only two feet away from him. "Yeah, follow us."
Tea and Serenity began walking across the room until they reached a wooden door. Tea placed her hand on the knob and turned it slowly. Pushing open the door, Tea walked in followed by Serenity then by Kaiba. "Here you are, you can practice in this little hall. Would you mind if Serenity and I listened to you?"
"Yes I would mind!" Kaiba then turned his back to them and didn't say another word.
"Okay, okay! We'll leave! Come on Serenity."
They left the same way they came in but instead of closing the door completely and walking back to the other end of the room, Tea whispered to Serenity to stay beside her. She bent down and cracked the door open a little bit while Serenity bent down right beside her.
They could hear someone and both girls knew it was Kaiba singing. "He's really good." Tea whispered to Serenity and she nodded in agreement. Suddenly the singing stopped and footsteps began to approach the two spying girls.
Serenity backed up quickly and escaped but before Tea could get up, Kaiba stood before her with an extreme look of displeasure on his face.
"What are you doing, Gardner?"
"Oh nothing, Kaiba. I was….well…I...was just." "You were just spying on me." Tea stood up and looked at Kaiba. "Well if it helps any you sound-" "Save it, Gardner just stay away from me."
"But Seto-"
Kaiba grabbed her wrist.
"Don't you ever call me Seto!"
"Ow, Kaiba you're hurting me."
His grip tightened.
"I'm sorry. Kaiba, it's just I…I'm sorry….I just thought since we have to work on a health project together that we could be friends. Don't you remember? You couldn't have already forgotten."
He let go of her wrist.
"I'm sorry. Yes I remember. Meet me at my locker after school and we can go to my house since I do have the latest technology and it would be easier to work at my house."
She was shocked to hear Kaiba apologizing to her. Tea nodded and remained standing there, waiting for him to say more.
Nothing.
Finally Kaiba said something else. "Well what do you want?" Nothing came from the girl's lips and Kaiba turned back around to go deeper into the hall.
The last bell of the day rang and everyone ran out of the class happily. Tea noticed that she and Serenity were the last people in the room. Even Kaiba had left thought they hadn't seen him leave. Then Tea remembered something. She was supposed to meet Kaiba at his locker.
"I'm really sorry, Serenity, but I have to go."
"I understand."
A smile fashioned on Tea's face as she started running down the hall. It took a lot of effort dodging people in the hall and she was out of breath when she reached Seto's locker.
There stood Seto Kaiba with a smug look on his face. "Took you long enough. I thought maybe you had forgotten then I would have to tease you about your horrible memory"
"Cut the crap, Kaiba, let's just go."
"Man aren't we mad, fine we'll go come on."
"Thank you."
A black limo drove to the side of the curb as Seto walked down the sidewalk with Tea next to him. She could here people whispering behind them. I hope they don't think that I'm really with Kaiba.
Then something happened that surprised Tea. As she was about to open the door, Kaiba opened the door for her and helped her in. A few people gasped in shock as this happened. Wow he has manners. After that, Kaiba got in himself and motioned the driver to go to their house.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For opening the door for me and helping me in."
"What just because I'm a little determined and merciless sometimes I can't be a gentleman?"
"No, I didn't say that!"
She huffed and dropped the subject. Her blue eyes became fixed on Kaiba as he looked out the window. Kaiba had already loosened his shirt collar a little bit and seemed more relaxed. His hands rested on the seat next to him while Tea's rested in her lap.
His dark blue eyes met hers as Kaiba turned around to look at her, but when he saw that she was looking at him as well Kaiba turned back facing forward.
"So, how is choir for you?"
"It's okay. I think you'll enjoy it, especially with that wonderful voice of yours."
"…."
Tea flushed and didn't say another word and neither did Kaiba. An awkward silence filled the car as both high school students remained looking forward determined not to look at the other. Images started passing by slower. Finally after a long period of stillness, Kaiba said, "We're here get ready Gardner."
His voice was cold and uncaring as he looked out the window again. Grabbing her backpack, Tea bent down then came back up. She noticed for a slight second that Kaiba's face had turned red.
As the limo pulled up to the great mansion, Kaiba plainly stated, "Welcome to the Kaiba mansion, Gardner."
