Disclaimer note: I do not own anything like I said before.

 

Previously on High school High: It's the first month and things are starting to seem like a roller coaster. Kai has another confrontation with Te'a, trips and falls and ends up at Seto's house and then finds out her mom's dating Pegasus?!?! What's up with that?

 

“Talking”

~Thoughts~

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Kai stared at her mom appalled and her mother looked down, disappointedly.

“Kai darling don't look at me like that.” Kai's jaw tightened.

“How would you suggest I look at you mother? Do you want me to smile? Do you want me to say a job well done? DO you expect me to be HAPPY?!” Her mother stood up.

“Yes! Because you're my daughter! I expected a little tension, but full blown out anger? It's been 11 years Kai. You were just 5! I thought you'd be over it!” Pegasus put a hand on her mother's arm.

“Calm down love. Look sweetheart, I know I can never replace your d-”

“Don't TOUCH HER and don't you DARE call me SWEETHEART!” Her mother looked at her angrily.

“Don't you talk to him like that!” Kai scoffed.

“Just because you want to forget dad and run around like some widowed whore, FINE! But DON'T EXPECT TO EVER TRY THAT! EVER!” She stormed out of the room and up the stairs as her mother started to chase after her.

“Kai Mahina Crenshaw!” Kai's door slammed and her mother put a hand on her hip, knowing the conversation was over.

“Damn that child!”

~Next day~

Kai sat unhappily in her seat before the bell rung. At home she was disturbed by the presence of Pegasus and here she was disturbed by the presence of everyone else besides Isis and Joey. Isis came into the classroom and sat next to her.

“As friends, we tell each other everything don't we?” Kai put a hand on her forehead.

“Yes, why do you say that?”

“Because…..about what everyone else has been saying….” Kai gasped at her.

“I can't believe you are actually believe what those stupid ditsy girls out there are saying!”

“Well how can I not? I was sitting in Malik's car when I saw Mr. Kaiba carrying you bridal style out of the school!”

“I had just tripped in some type of fluid all on the floor and he caught me!”

“And then he carried you to his car?”

“Oh no, I didn't know that! He offered me a ride home and I said no and then we had a bet that if I couldn't walk after he put me down, then he'd take me home and if I could, then I'd walk home. I tripped on a crack and fell, going unconscious and him being the unusually concerned person he is, took me to his house and let me rest in his bed.” Isis gapped her mouth open.

“You were in his BED?!”

“I know! I didn't wake up after the fall until I was actually in his bed.” Isis sighed.

“Look, ok, I don't really believe what they said, but you can't deny the fact you like him.” Kai looked down.

“Yeah…I know…but now I think he hates me. I woke up in other clothes than my uniform and I thought he had you know…but his maids changed me he was just trying to make me more…comfortable.” The bell rung and people started pouring into the classroom.

”Well I gotta get to my seat.” Isis went off to her seat, the seat on the other side of the room in the same row horizontally as Kai. Joey sat right behind Isis and Seto set next to Kai. ~Seto… ~ Seto walked into the classroom and sat promptly in his seat.

“Ok class, time to get started. Let's start with attendance. Isis Ishtar?”

“Here.”

“Joey Wheeler?”

“President.” Him and a couple of other friends laughed as the teacher rolled his eyes and went on. Kai glanced at Seto a couple of hesitant times before deciding to lean over and talk.

“Hey…Seto I'm sorry.” She whispered yet he kept his eyes and head straight forward. “Yesterday…I know I was stubborn and…ungrateful but I'm not used to-”

“Ms. Crenshaw, you are alone supposed to and I don't believe I called on you or called out your name.” Seto glared at the teacher and he continued.

“I'm not used to….a lot of people…caring or showing concern unless they are in my family which is…small…..for now anyways.” Seto finally turned to look at her. His face was stony but his eyes showed curiosity.

“Here.”

“And I know I said some things you might find offense but-”

“Ms. Crenshaw! I call your name and you don't respond and then I don't call your name and you talk? I don't understand!” Seto death glared the teacher this time.

“Look Mr.Hinkleman, she's trying to tell me something important so I think attendance can wait!” Mr.Hinkleman fell silent and nodded. Seto looked at Kai, his features relaxing slightly.

“Continue.”

“I know I said some things that were offense and I'm sorry and I really hope you forgive me.” She whispered in the quietest voice and Seto nodded in approval and turned to Mr.Hinkleman.

“NOW, you can finish class.”

“Kai Crenshaw.”

“Here.” After the lengthy role call, Mr.Hinkleman handed everyone a thick book.

“For those of you CAN'T read, this book is called Pride & Prejudice. This is a romance, suspense, and slightly comical novel.” Most of the class let out a groan, including Joey. “But since some of you like to play the illiterate role and have huge social lives, I'm making this a group project.” The people that had groaned started to cheer. “Ok, ok, calm down. 1-3 row going vertically look at the person to the left, those of you in the last row, look to right.” Kai swallowed and looked at Seto. “Say hello to your official group project partner.” Seto once again nodded towards her and face straight forward. Kai looked down at Isis who looked very unhappy with her partner. It wasn't Joey or any of his stupid friends; it was actually someone very smart. Kai titled her head sideways in confusion until she saw who Joey's partner was. It was the girl who was in competition with Te'a to be the biggest slut in the universe. She was a wavy headed blonde with hazel eyes and a tiny little figure, minus her humongous chest. Joey smiled anxiously as the girl touched his arm in a flirty way and smile brightly. This was gonna be one crazy assignment.

~Lunch ~

Isis munched on her sandwich as she sat on the top of a picnic table alone. Kai walked up to her happily and sat her tray down.

“Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere! What's wrong?” Isis shrugged and continued eating.

“You know you can't hide stuff from me that easily.” Isis sighed and placed her sandwich down

“I'm just not real happy about the project partner thingy.” Kai nodded.

”I know what you mean.” Isis gave her a slight glare and she blushed. “Not as in, I'm unhappy with my partner but I mean I know what you mean with Joey being around Trish.” Joey approached the table, a big smile on his face.

“Hey!” Isis looked back down at her sandwich and Joey shrugged confused. “Glad ta see dat TWO of us are happy.”

“I'm sure you have a lot to be happy about, being paired with that bimbo partner of yours.” Joey sighed.

“It's not even like dat.” Trish appeared happily beside Joey and sat on the table.

“Hey Joey, I think we should start tonight. My parents aren't home for the rest of the week and I'm not busy so this would just be great.”

“Uh…..yeah...sure…whatever I guess.”

“Great! We're going to have an amazing time tonight!” She leant over and kissed him for a few seconds before walking off proudly. Isis and Kai stared at Joey and he raised his hands.

“What? It's not even like dat!” Isis shook her head and gathered her stuff. “Isis you don't even like me! Why should it matter to ya anyways?” Isis shoved her fruit cup in his face ran off.

“I should go talk to her.” Joey flicked off a piece of pineapple.

“Yeah do that while I'll be blowing fruit syrup outta my nose fa da rest of da week.” Kai ran after Isis.

“Isis! Wait! Slow down!” Isis stopped, upset and ran her fingers through her hair. “What's wrong? Why are you doing this?”

“Because…maybe I care!!! I don't know! I mean…yeah I do! It's just that he's so lazy!” She folded her arms, pacing viciously. “I mean come on, he settles for less than what would take him a little more time to have like…one of the best dang things on this earth?” Kai smiled slightly.

“Then why don't you tell him that? Why don' you date him?” Isis turned away from Kai and shrugged. Joey crept up the wall, peeking around the corner at them.

“I just can't force myself to; I mean THAT was a prime example of why I can't!” Joey quickly jerked back and pressed himself against the wall. “I'm just scared Kai. I don't want to get hurt.” Joey sighed and nodded his head. ~Time tachange~

~After School~

Kai waved goodbye to Isis, who rode off with her partner and started walking towards the stairs to the sidewalk. The wind blew fiercely, whipping her burgundy cashmere scarf from around her neck. She chased the wild scarf as it rippled in the wind and brushed against the ground every so often. She stopped when she found the scarf stopped at two big black shoes and wiggled up the navy blue pants.

“Loose this?” Kai sighed as she looked up at Seto.

“Um…yeah I think that's why I was chasing it.” He held out the scarf and she took it hesitantly. “Why are you looking at me like that?” He gave a smug look then straightened his face.

“We need to start on this book report.” Kai nodded and then raised a brow.

“You mean…now?”

“Of course, how do you intend on finishing the book if you constantly put if off?” Kai raised a brow.

“I, uh…” Seto grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards the car.

“Wh-what the crap?! Let go of me! You can drag me around like I'm you're child!” Seto stopped, giving her a look that seemed to freeze her whole body.

“We need to get this stuff done and I don't really like to drag out my work, if you couldn't tell.” Kai jerked away rubbing her arm slightly.

“That's all you had to say.” She said mumbling as she followed Seto to his elegant jet black limo. Inside the ride was quiet except for the sound of the wheels riding along on the uneven street. Kai sighed and she leant against the window.

“Do you ever talk?” Seto looked at her confused.

“What do you mean?” She sighed.

“You know…strike up a conversation?” He shrugged nonchalant.

“I don't really like to talk…if you haven't noticed.”

“Well you do seem to talk quite often, but it has only to do with work and things that don't matter.” He kept his eyes avert.

“The things that most people talk about have to deal with the present…that doesn't matter to me.” Kai scoffed.

“You have a job. You have to talk about current events do you not?” Seto looked at her, his amusement mocking her.

“Does everything I say that doesn't go along with how you think have to send you into a frenzy each time?” Kai huffed angrily and turned away from him, crossing her arms. ~Who does he think he is…talking to me like!? I don't go into a fre-…..I'm doing it now….ugh…~ They arrived a short while later at Seto's vast and luxurious mansion, sending Kai into a slight shock. The last time she was here she knew the mansion was big, but not as calm and welcoming as it looked now. Maybe it was because last time she was rushing to get away from him. The chauffer helped her out the car and led them inside to trade positions with Seto's head butler.

“A new entourage, sir?”

“Only a study partner Maxwell.” Maxell took Kai's and Seto's jacket gratefully, smiling brightly at Kai.

“Don't let him work his charm on you; you'll walk out of her with half the clothes you came with and be twice the woman you are.” Kai chuckled nervously and quickly caught up with Seto, who was already walking down the elongated, shadowy corridor. He turned sharply to his right, making Kai jump, who was clearly not paying an attention, but following blindly. The new hall was full of paintings, big ones that hung in large oak frames on the wall and small golden framed ones the stood on tables. She passed one that made her stop and stare. The picture was at a park and didn't look like it was that long ago. Seto sat against a tree and seemed to have been reading a book. His white button up shirt was unbuttoned slightly and wore light blue jeans. ~Seto in jeans…hah~ A girl clung to him, smiling brightly with crystal blue eyes the seemed to shine as bright as her smile. She picked the picture up carefully and turned it around. In silver etching the name Kisara and Seto was written in calligraphy across the back.

“Kai.” She jumped, startled by the strong voice and turned to him.

“Who is this?” She asked cautiously and Seto's face became slightly disfigured with the mixed emotions of shock and pain.
