Harvesting the Heart

Chapter Two

Téa’s POV

I can’t believe I punched Kaiba again! You’d think I’d learn the first time, but no! I just had to go and lose my temper for a second time.

Somehow, I think it’s safe to say I have seriously dug myself a grave. I find it hard to believe I stooped down to his level again! AGAIN! It was bad enough that I gave Kaiba one black eye, that alone made me feel as guilty as hell…but two!

-To put it in simple terms, Kaiba is going to kill me. Most likely very slowly,

and

painfully!

But like I said about the first punch, the blame can’t go entirely on my shoulders. I guess Kaiba just had to learn the hard way that I don’t have much patience when it comes to him and his smart ass mouth.

I think the two black eyes might help him figure it out.

The funny thing is that all the teachers are really concerned, and it’s not like Kaiba will tell anyone what happened. They think that Kaiba might have been beaten up by a high school gang or something, so they made the whole school go to this big assembly and get a lecture about bullying.

I didn’t have the guts to say it was me…besides; the assembly got me out of math. But more importantly, I don’t think I need to give Kaiba another excuse to want to kill me…

-just yet anyway.


One Week later…

“Where is it?” I’ve searched all throughout my bag, but no matter where I look I can’t seem to find my wallet.

“Did you leave it in your locker?” Yugi suggests.

I give a small frown as I try to remember, “No, I remember looking at it during last period in economics.”

Joey walks over. “Maybe ya left it in the classroom?”

Did I? I remember pulling it out to make sure I had enough money for the bus home, and then the teacher asked me a question…maybe I dropped it when I stood up?

Packing away all the stuff I’d taken out, I glance back at the guys. “I’ll head back to the classroom and check”

“Do you want us to wait for you?” Tristan asks.

“Nah. Don’t worry about it guys, I’ll be fine”

Giving them a reassuring smile, I turn around and run back to the classroom. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow” I call out behind me.

I head back to the classroom and search around my desk. In fact, I search around the whole room but I still can’t seem to find my wallet anywhere.

-Where the heck is it?

“Looking for something?”

Turning around, I’m surprised to see Kaiba standing there at the doorway with his arms crossed. He has this weird look in his eyes, and he seems even stranger then usual. Something just doesn’t seem right…

-Oh my God is Kaiba…smiling?

This seriously can’t be good.

“What do you want Kaiba?”

Pushing himself off the doorframe, he walks over and stands right in front of me. “It’s not a matter of what I want” he gives me a sly smirk, “It’s a matter of what you are looking for”

Oh God! Please, PLEASE don’t tell me that Kaiba has found my wallet. Anyone…anyone else but him.

The sly smirk remains on his face as he searches through his pocket.

“Is this what you were looking for?”

But of course as fate would have it, Seto bloody Kaiba is holding up my wallet.

Great…

“Where did you find it?” I ask, increasingly aware that Kaiba’s smug smile still hasn’t left his face.

“It seems that you carelessly left it behind after class”

I watch as Kaiba stares down at me like he knows something I don’t, and it is at that moment that I realise why. Kaiba has indeed found my wallet…that much is certain.

-but what bothers me is that he hasn’t given it back yet.

I slowly reach out towards my wallet, “I guess I’ll be going now” but of course as I feared, Kaiba lets out a small laugh and pulls it out of my reach.

“You actually think I’d waste my time staying back after school, only to just give you your wallet back?” he asks sceptically, “How naïve and stupid can you be Gardner?”

I guess in the end I should have known he’d do something like this. The fact that Kaiba was smiling should have been a pretty big clue.

“Seto Kaiba. Give me back my wallet NOW!”

He waves his finger in front of my face as if I’m a naughty child. “Tut, tut Miss Gardner. You didn’t say please”

“Fine…May I please have my wallet back?” I say through gritted teeth.

“No” he pulls out a pile of paper work from his bag and dumps it in my hands. “But do this homework for me and I might reconsider”

I stand there stunned as I stare down at the homework Kaiba has just placed in my arms. It takes me a moment or two to realise that Kaiba has already turned around and is heading out of the room.

“I never thought that even you would sink so low as to blackmail, Kaiba” I reply icily.

Kaiba stops walking, but he keeps his back towards me. “Well I never thought you would sink so low as to punch me in the face.” he turns around and gives me a small smirk.

“But I guess we were both wrong”

Next Day…

“I can’t believe Kaiba is making ya do his homework for him”

I glance at Joey as we make our way to school “Well, to be honest I couldn’t either” I reply. “But I guess he’s still pissed with me for giving him two black eyes”

Joey let out a short laugh, “Which, by the way, still kills me. I swear, every time I see him at school I just wanna crack up laughing”

I sigh, “And that’s probably one of the main reasons he’s pissed”

“Glad to see I’m your topic of conversation” a voice behind us interrupts.

Joey and I both turn around to find Kaiba walking behind us.

“What do you want money bags?” Joey asks

Kaiba walks right up to us and blocks Joey out of the conversation “Is it all done?”

“HEY!” Joey shouts “Don’t stand in front of me”

Kaiba ignores him “So? Did you do it or not?”

I pull out his homework and shove it in his hands. “There. I did your stupid homework for you.” I grumble. “Now give me back my wallet”

He flicks through the pages as if he’s marking them. Looking up after a minute or two, the same evil smile from yesterday once again appears on his face. “It seems to be in order”

I glare up at him “Kaiba.” I mutter icily, “My wallet?”

He stares down at me with that stupid, superior smirk of his. Argh! I hate that stupid, superior smirk of his!

“No…I think I’ll keep it awhile longer”

And then would you believe it the bells rings. Right when I’m about to argue back.

Kaiba turns his back on me and starts to walk down the footpath.

“Close your mouth Gardner, your letting flies in”

Joey and I ended up being late to homeroom, and I blame it entirely on Kaiba. BUT, me being the cheerful, optimistic person that I am, I am NOT going to let him get me down.

Kaiba just isn’t worth my effort.

“What do we have first, Téa? English or maths?” Joey asks

“Neither” I reply “We have dance”

Before you ask, yes Joey does dance. But trust me it’s not because he wants to. He initially did cooking, but he ended up burning down four out of the six ovens! I think it was a wise decision for the teacher to kick him out, but unfortunately for him the only elective left was dance.

The only thing is–Joey isn’t the best dancer. I think he must have two left feet or something. However he is trying, so I guess that’s what counts.

“Have we got theory or prac?”

“Prac” I answer “We’re in the gym”

Yugi and Tristan don’t do dance, so they go the opposite way to us and go to their own electives.

“Have fun in dance Joey” Tristan calls out, “Try not to step on too many feet this time”

“Shut it, Tristan” Joey replies back

We watch as Yugi and Tristan walk off before making our way down to the gym. “Do you think Miss Tsbusa will let us be partners again for this terms major work?” Joey asks

I give a small shrug, “To be honest I have no idea. But even if she doesn’t, I’ll still help you out if you want”

“Thanks Téa. I need all the help I can get”

We walk into the gym and go to our separate locker rooms. Luckily for Joey, he gets the guys locker room to himself seeing as he’s the only one who does dance. Though, I guess he sees that as a bad thing.

I get changed into my gym clothes and sit down on one of the benches with the other girls who do dance. Two minutes later, Joey comes out from his locker room and joins me.

“Where’s Miss Tsbusa?” Joey asks, “She’s usually the first one here”

I glance around the gym and notice that Joey is right. Miss Tsbusa is no where to be found.

“Maybe she’s sick or something?” I reply

Almost as if she heard us talking about her, Miss Tsbusa rushes into the gym. “I’m SO sorry I’m late. I had to go to the principal’s office and bring a new member of the class down with me”

Joey and I shoot a quick glance at each other as the teacher gestures the new student to come into the gym. The new person doesn’t come out, so Miss Tsbusa walks over and basically pulls them out.

“Don’t be shy, there’s no need to be embarrassed”

I think we’re all surprised to hear a male voice answer her. “I’m not embarrassed. I just refuse to participate in this class”

The new student is still hid from my view, so I can’t see who it is. Joey can’t either, but I think he’s relieved he’s not going to be the only guy anymore.

But Miss Tsbusa on the other hand is losing her patience.

“Class,” she speaks up. “I’d like you to meet your newest classmate”

Miss Tsbusa gives the new student a little push so that he comes into our view.

“Seto Kaiba”

I thump Joey on the back as he chokes on his own laughter.

Even though he’s a jerk, I kinda feel sorry for him. I always thought that Joey doing dance was bad, but Kaiba? The idea of seeing Kaiba try to dance is painful, even for me. I reckon he probably deserves it, especially after this morning, but I wouldn’t let Joey pay him out. Don’t ask me why though, cause I have no idea.

True to his word, Kaiba didn’t participate. He stood in the corner as we did our stretches and warm up exercises. He moved across to the other side of the room once we started actually dancing. And he stood outside the gym while we were changing back into our regular school clothes.

To be honest, I can’t wait till Kaiba finds out what our assignment for the term is.

I‘m still getting changed when the bell rings for next period. When I come out, I find that Joey has waited for me.

“Took your time” he joked

I give him a small smile. “Can’t rush perfection”

We turn around to make our way to our next class, only to have Miss Tsbusa catch up to us from behind.

“Before you two go, can one of you do a favour for me?”

She pulls out a couple of books and dumps them in my hands. “I need you to give these to Seto Kaiba. He walked off before I could give them to him.”

Staring down at the books in my hand, I give a small nod. “Sure Miss, I’ll hand these to Kaiba”

“Thanks, Téa”

After Miss Tsbusa walks away, I shove the books into Joey’s hands. “Here you go. Have fun”

Joey glares at me “Why go I have ta give ‘em to Kaiba?”

I start to walk off to my chemistry class. “Because I don’t want to have to talk to him” I reply simply.

Joey’s laughter follows me down the corridor. “Coward” he calls out.

I look over my shoulder and grin, “Sucker” I reply back.
