You are at the mall. You just bought the perfect dress to wear for Seto's business party. You are in the food court when you bump into... Joey!
"You!" you gasp and try to turn around, but Joey grabs your arm. "Let me go!" you whisper fiercely, trying not to attract the attention of other people.
"~~~~, we need to talk," Joey's voice cracks. You stare into his eyes and you see he's sincere.
"Fine, but let me go," you say, snatching your arm from his grasp. He puts his hands in his pockets and follows you to a table. You sit down across him and cross your arms, narrowing your eyes. "So what do want to say?" you ask coldly. You want to forgive him, but you're still very pissed at what he had done.
"~~~~, I'm so sorry for about what I did. I wasn't thinking straight. It's just that I love you," he says.
You stare at him in shock. "Joey, I'm sorry, but I will never feel the same for you," you say gently.
Joey sighs, "I don't have money like Kaiba, but I could give you more love than he ever will."
You roll your eyes. "Joey, at first I didn't know Seto had money, I liked him before all that came out. Plus, Seto has given me more love, not money, that you ever will. He's never tried to take advantage of me, like you," you give him a disgusted look.
Joey sighs again. "Ok, ~~~~, I understand. I'm so sorry for what I did. Can we just forget all about this and just be friends?" Joey pleads.
You're not a mean person, so your face softens and you reply, "Ok, Joey. I'll try to forget all about this, and lets just be friends."
Joey gets up from where he sitting, and you do too. "Ok, thanks for listening to me ~~~~," Joey says and gives you a small hug and a kiss on the cheek. You watch him as he walks away with his hands in his pockets. Poor Joey. I hope he finds a girl who can return his feelings, you think.
You spot a couple staring at you. You frown and think, what's up with them? You shrug and just spend the rest of the day window-shopping.
*Next morning, Tuesday* You're in bed, having some good dreams, mostly about a blue-eyed prince, and you destroying a dragon who, for some odd reason, looked extremely like Diane.
Your sleep is interrupted by a ringing sound. You reach for your alarm clock, but it's not what's ringing. You open your eyes and see it's only 6:45. Your clock doesn't ring until 7:00. You realize it's your cell phone. You grope around for it. You flip it open.
"Hello?" you mumble sleepily.
"~~~~? Are you up yet?" you hear a sharp voice say. You shake your head, trying to clear it.
"Seto?" you say, yawning.
"Yes, who do you think it is? Who else would call?" you hear him reply sharply.
"Huh? Seto, what's wrong?" you say, trying to stop yourself from yawning again.
"By any chance have you read today's newspaper? I suppose not, since you sound sleepy. Why are you so sleepy? Where the hell were you last night?" Seto sounds cold.
"Seto, I sound sleepy because I barely woke up. And yesterday I was at the mall," you say, confused why he's acting all mean.
"So you admit it. I'm coming over right now," Seto growls.
"Admit what? Seto!" you say, but he already hung up. You sigh and close your phone. You get up and do your bed. You think, what if he found out what happened on Sunday?!
You're just about to change for school when someone knocks on your door. You frown. You know it's Seto, but he usually rings the bell, not pound at the door. You quickly go over and open the door. Seto has a cold look on his face as he comes in and slams the door behind him. He's already changed into the school uniform.
"Seto, what's..." you start to say, but he snaps "Shut up ~~~~!"
Continued in results!
Your mouth falls open. He has never told you to shut up before, ever.
"What the hell, Seto! Don't tell me to shut up!" you start to shout, not caring if the neighbors can hear you.
"~~~~ you have nothing to say to me right now. Just take a look at this." Seto throws today's newspaper down at your feet. You give Seto a look then pick up the paper. You gasp as you read the headline: 'Miss ~~~~ ~~~~ of Amaterasu Industries might have a new love! What happened to Seto Kaiba?' underneath the headline there was a picture of you and Joey at the mall yesterday.
You quickly scan the article. It says that you and Joey were seen talking yesterday, and that you both seemed very 'cozy' together. It mentioned that Joey kissed you and gave you a hug. You drop the paper and say desperately, "Seto, you better not believe this bullshit! Why would I be with Joey if I have you?"
Seto doesn't answer. He suddenly jerks your chin up roughly, causing you to cry out. Seto lets go and says, "I don't need the paper to prove it. The evidence is all there on your neck." You touch the mark on your neck. You had forgotten all about it.
"Seto let me explain! It's not like it seems!" you scream desperately. Seto just shakes his head and starts to leave. You grab on to his arm, not letting go.
"~~~~, there's nothing to explain. It seems you only wanted money from me. If you want to cry, go to the idiot's arms," Seto snarls and breaks away from your grip.
"Why would I need your money? I have my own company! All I want from you is your love!" you start to sob, but he's already out the door. You hear the screech of tires on pavement. You have a feeling of hopelessness.
Your hand automatically goes to the locket on your neck. You never take it off except when you take a shower. But the feeling of the cool metal in your hand doesn't calm you. In fact, in makes you more miserable. Why wouldn't he listen to me? I just had it all cleared up with Joey, and then this had to happen! you think. You wipe away your tears and see it's only a few minutes before school starts. This is the last week of school before you all graduate.
You sigh and think, I need to go to school, but I have more important things to worry about. I need to think of a way to clear things up with Seto.
You decide to stay home. You spend the day moping around your apartment. About 2:30, you hear the doorbell ring. You smile hopefully, thinking maybe it's Seto. You open the door.
