Seven Years Later

 

“Jessica wake up its time for school.” Mrs. Watsuki called up to her daughter. Jessica got up, in a good mood for once, and took a shower, and put on her new school uniform. Today was her first day of 10th grade, which was also her first day of High School. She was a little excited to see everyone, and see what teachers she got. After her shower she ran into the kitchen, and grabbed some toast that her mom had made for her. Her Dad had already gotten up and gone to work. `He works really long hours because we don't exactly have a lot of money, but I don't really mind as long as we have enough money to live, I'm fine. I just wish my dad didn't have to work so much though. My mom on the other hand only works 3 days a week cause she has so much stuff to do around the house too, so I get to see her a lot more often then I get to see my dad.' “Bye mom I'm going now.” “Bye Jessica, have a good day.” Jessica picked up her bag and walked out the door. As soon as she shut the door, she looked up and saw her five best friends, Yugi Mutou, Tristan Taylor, Joey Wheeler, Ryou Bakura, and Tea Gardner.

 

“Hey, I didn't know you guys were gonna be here.” “Well we just thought it'd be nice if we all walked to school together since we live so close and all.” Yugi said. “Sure that'd be cool. So Tea are you excited about being in High School now?” “Yeah, I really like all the new classes you can take, I can't wait to get my schedule, and start Dance Class. I hope we're in some extra classes together.” “Yeah that would be so cool if we all ended up in at least one or maybe all of our extra classes together. Hey Joey, what extra classes did you sign up for?” “Well…I don't really member them all (sweatdrop), but I know I signe'd up for Team Sports, and Cooking Class. Oh ya now I member I also signed up for Health, and Art Class.” “Oh that's cool I signed up for Team Sports, and Cooking too. Maybe we'll be in the same class together.” “Yeah dat'd be cool.” “Well we usually are very lucky in getting in the same classes together.” Ryou pointed out. “Yeah you're right I always have a least one class with each of you guys.”

 

“We're here guys.” Tristan said. “Wow it looks so much bigger than our old school.” Yugi said. “I could easily get lost in dat place.” Joey pointed out. “Well I'll have to agree with you on that one, I'll probably get lost looking for our homeroom.” Jessica agreed. “Yeah that's right we all have the same homeroom together, which means we all have the same core classes together. That's lucky that they did the homerooms at random, or else we would definitely have been split up because of our different last names.” Tristan said. The group all entered the building, and found a map. “Lets see…if our homeroom is in E Hall, then we should go straight and than go left.” They all walked down the hall leading to E Hall. `It's so crowed in this school. There are so many people here that don't look familiar at all. I guess there are a lot of people coming from different Middle Schools.' Jessica thought. When they finally got to their homeroom, the teacher told them where to sit. “Yeah lucky us we all get to sit together.” Tea exclaimed. Jessica sat in the back, Tea sat next to her, Yugi sat in front of Tea, Tristan sat next to Tea, Joey sat next to Yugi, and Ryou sat in front of Jessica. “Wow, this is rather too lucky if you ask me.” Ryou stated. “Yeah it is kind of weird, but oh well, I'm not complaining. I wonder who else is in our homeroom; not that I know anyone else, but there might be some familiar faces from middle school.” “Yeah I don't know many other people either, but we're probably recognize some people.” Yugi said.

 

Just than a really tall and thin boy with brown hair and ice blue eyes walked in the classroom. `Wow…he's really good looking. He looks kind of familiar too.' Jessica thought as she stared at him for quite a long time, until he caught her looking at him, which caused her to turn away as a blush creped up her face. “O great it's Kaiba.” Joey said. “Who's Kaiba? It sounds familiar. Is it the same Kaiba as in the company Kaiba Corp?” “Yup, same one. He owns the place. He's the national Duel Monsters champion too.” Yugi said. “He looks really familiar.” “Well you could have seen him on TV, he's a real hot shot.” Joey said. Jessica looked over and saw Kaiba take a seat next to her. `Lucky me!' “All right everyone, settle down, and I will start to pass out your schedules.” The homeroom teacher, Mrs. Obana, said. After a while everyone had their schedules, and were comparing them with one another. “Hey I'm in all the same classes as Tea. Wow that's so cool.” Jessica said happily. “Hey Jessica let me see your schedule for a moment.” Ryou said. “Kay.” Kaiba's eyes widened and he gave Jessica a very surprised look before he composed himself back to his normal cold emotionless look. `I wonder why he just looked so surprised.' Jessica thought “Oh Jessica we're in six of the same classes.” Ryou said. “Wow six that's a lot too, I'm having a lot of luck today. I think it's because it's the 13th which is my lucky number.” “It looks like we're all lucky today we're all in the same main classes, and, Cooking, and Team Sports classes.” Yugi said. “Wow that's so cool. Other than that my other two classes are Sewing, and Dance, and I'm guessing that you guys aren't taking any of those classes besides Tea, so we will have most of our classes together.”

 

“Ring…Ring…Ring…” “Well I guess we better all get ready for Geometry now.” Ryou announced as Mrs. Obana who was also their Geometry teacher tried to get everyone quite so she could start her lecture. All through class Jessica thought about Kaiba. `He looks a lot like Seto from the orphanage. He's pretty good-looking too.' After Geometry the Japanese teacher, Mr. Takahashi came in and started his lecture. By now Jessica was starting to miss her Spring Brake she had just gotten off of. After her Japanese teacher left, her World Civilizations teacher, Mrs. Takaya came in, and started talking about China. After that boring discussion Jessica's English Teacher, Mr. Ken came in. The bell ruing once again this time signaling that it was time to eat lunch. “Yay, finally time for some grub.” Joey shouted excitedly. Almost everyone in the class pulled out their lunches and grouped around their friends. Jessica, Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, and Ryou moved their desks closer to form a deformed circle. “School is so boring, I definitely didn't miss it during Spring Brake.” Tristan said as he shoved a sandwich in his mouth. “Definitely!” Joey agreed. “Hey Tristan isn't your birthday coming up this Sunday?” Yugi questioned. “Oh yeah that's right your birthday is April the 19th.” Ryou added. “Yup my birthday is this Sunday.” “So what are you going to do for your birthday?” Jessica asked. “Well I haven't really decided yet, but I do have some ideas.” “Well spill.” Joey said impatiently. “Well I was thinking we all could just hang out that day; you know, go see a movie, play some games at the arcade, that kind of stuff.” “Sounds fun!” Tea exclaimed. “Yeah we should do that.” Jessica added in. “What do you want for your birthday Tristan?” Ryou asked. “Ummm…I don't know, there's too many things I want, why don't you guys just come up with something. I'm sure I'll like whatever you give me.” Every one nodded and finished up their lunches and left their homeroom for their next class. Jessica and Tea went to Dance Class with Mrs. Kamino, while Yugi, Tristan, Joey, and Ryou went to Health Class with Mr. Yu. After those classes everyone met up again and went to Chemistry Class with Mrs. Yoshizumi. Then Jessica, and Tea went to Sewing class with Mrs. Wataru, while Joey, Yugi, Ryou, and Tristan went to Art Class with Mrs. Miho. Than everyone got back together again and went to Cooking Class with Mrs. Murakami. `Wow I'm surprised to see Kaiba in Cooking Class. If he is really Seto than he doesn't really strike me as the cooking type.' After Cooking Class everyone went to their last class, Team Sports with Mr. Sugisaki.

 

“Ring…Ring…Ring…” The final bell ruing as everyone was getting dressed. Since Team Sports was their last class they got to change back into their normal clothes instead of changing back into their school uniform. Jessica wore dark jean shorts, and a dark red tank top since it was so hot outside that day. Tea changed into a dark blue mini skirt, and a light pink T-shirt. “Hey Jessica, the guys, and I are going to the arcade, you wanna come?” Tea asked. “Well I kinda have something I have to do first. Do you think you guys could wait up at the school gates for me?” Tea gave Jessica a weird look. `What could she have to do?' She gave her a slight nod, and as if that was a signal Jessica took off running towards the main entrance leaving a very confused Tea behind. `I have to find Kaiba. I need to know if he's the Seto from my past.' As Jessica turned the corner into the lobby where the main entrance was she saw Kaiba leaving the building. Jessica ran outside and caught up with him. “Hey Kaiba.” He turned around with a very annoyed look, but when he saw who it was he looked more surprised. “What is it?” “Well…I was just wondering if your first name was Seto by any chance?” “Yes, my first name is Seto.” “Really! I thought you looked familiar. Do you remember me?” “If your first name is Jessica, than yes I remember you.” Seto's cheeks turned slightly red at the memory of the day Jessica left. “Yeah my name is Jessica, I haven't seen you in like seven years.”

 

“WHAT!? Do you guys see that?” Joey shouted. “Yup” Tristan answered. “Why the hell is Jessica talkin' to Moneybags?” Joey asked “She did sound very interested in him when we were at school.” Ryou pointed out. “Yeah she was. It's still weird though. Kaiba's not exactly the friendly type.” Yugi said. “So let me get dis straight she made us wait so she could go talk to moneybags. That's not right!” Joey yelled. “I'm sure she's got a good reason for needing to talk to Kaiba.” Yugi said as he tried to calm down his friend. “She better, she's got a lot of explaining to do.” Joey said.

 

“How is Moki doing?” Seto looked confused at the use of his younger brother's old nickname. “Oh, he's fine.” `Wow he sure doesn't talk much, and he seems a bit colder than when we were kids.' Jessica thought. “ Well that's great. We have a lot to catch up on, but I guess we'll have to do that another time, I have to go now. I guess I'll see you tomorrow.” “Yeah.” “See ya Seto” With that Jessica took off in the direction of her friends by the main gate. Seto just stood there for a while looking at Jessica's retreating form, and than he turned all the way around and headed for his limo. `Why'd she have to show up? I don't need any friends. Friends' just slow people down, and prevent them from achieving their goals. Most people in this world can't be trusted. I will not become weak!'

 

“Hey guys, sorry to make you guys wait.” Jessica called out to her friends thinking they didn't see her talking to Seto Kaiba. “What the hell we're you doing, talkin' to rich boy?” Joey yelled. “Rich boy who are you talking abo… Oh. You saw!?” “Now Joey, calm down.” Yugi said. “Yeah man, we all know Kaiba's a jerk, but don't yell at Jessica for it.” Tristan said. “I think what Joey is trying to say is if you could please explain for us why you we're talking to Kaiba.” Tea said in a pleasant voice. “Well why don't I explain it to you guys on the way to the arcade.” “Ok.” Everyone said in unison as they started off towards the arcade.
