Just Business

Force Field

(Elaine's POV)

"And its all due tomorrow, No exceptions. Anyone who forgets gets to spend lunch for the rest of the week with me." Mr. Kaiba said to end his lecture. I honestly can believe this guy! He was intentionally picking on me for the sake of embarrassing me!

The class groaned as the bell rang. I was packing up my stuff when a tall boy with dirty blonde hair and soft brown eyes walked up to me.

"Hey, your the new student right?" He had a Brooklyn accent.

I smiled, "Yup! That's me. I'm Elaine. Who are you?"

"I'm Joey Wheeler!" He stuck out his hand and I shook it. "Nice ta meet ya!"

"Its nice to meet you too!"

"So, since you're new, do ya want someone to show your around?"

"That would be great! thanks."

"Awesome! What's your next class?"

"Umm..." I pulled up my schedule "I have Gen. Ed."

"I have that too!" he said excitedly. "Come on, you can meet the rest of the gang on the way!"

"Awesome!"

It seemed that he may be the only person that didn't know i was famous, so i decided he'll be my first friend. We started walking through the halls to Gen. Ed. and on the way I met Yugi Moto, Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, and Duke Devlin.

(Seto's POV)

I'm not going to lie, she's interesting, not that it matters. I've come to learn that relationships, friendship or otherwise, are useless. Though I can't believe that someone like her would stoop down to the level of that dog and the rest of the geek squad.

I only teach algebra first period, then I'm of to Gen. Ed. I swear to god, if that class wasn't required for my graduation, I'd skip it. I don't need to know how to cook and clean, but apparently I miss enough school because of Kaiba Corp. that I can't skip any classes. How irritating. After packing up my briefcase I left for the most useless class on the planet.

I thought about what that girl, Jane, was saying. Truthfully, no. No one has ever caught my attention, I mean, all I need is Mokuba and my company. Heck, I don't really even look at anyone unless I'm in a business meeting, and Middle aged men aren't really my thing. Why am I even thinking about this? I thought when I finally got to class.

I sat in the back alone, like usual. People tend to avoid me though, that's because if someone approached me, I give them a nasty glare and tell them to go away. The bell rang and the seat next to me was still empty. The rest were guy, girl. The teacher started talking when the door opened. That Jane, or did it start with an "E", walked in.

"Ah, miss Wineberry. How kind of you stop by." The teacher said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, sir." She gave a slight bow. "I got a little lost,"

She probably got mobbed by students again. I wonder why. It could be because she's new. She also had a pretty face, and nice eyes. She's cute. Wait what am I doing? I looked to the side.

"Well then, sit in the back with Mr. Kaiba."

What? "Yes, sir." Just when I thought I'd be alone...

I'm not sure about this class, but I know that this is going to be a long semester.

(Elaine's POV)

Great. This is just great. I have "married life" class with this stone cold prick. This will make it really difficult to keep my public image perfect.

Today we were just covering the syllabus, and I saw Kaiba take out his laptop. He's probably doing company stuff. I couldn't help but look.

When I saw the graph, I saw that his company numbers were going down. He was losing popularity. We have yet another thing in common.

"Miss Wineberry is there any specific reason you're looking at my company's numbers."

"Wha- No I just spaced out for a second."

"Uh-Huh." He replied skeptically "well I suggest you don't let it happen again."

"Of Course, Sorry." Sheesh! What's his problem? It's not like I was trying to sell him out to other companies.

(Lunch, 5th Period)

"Bye Guys!" I yelled to the others as I walked in. Immediately I swarmed by other students.

"Wineberry-Sama, come sit with us." No, I'm not going to be able to eat in peace. That's when I saw him. Kaiba was sitting by himself. There was a giant bubble around him that no body would enter.

I flashed my million dollar smile to everyone. "No thank you, I'm need to talk to Mr. Kaiba about math."

Everyone stood in shock as I walked up to Kaiba and sat next to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Relax. I just want some peace."

"So the golden child really does hate people."

"What?"

"I was beginning to believe that you were too stupid to get away from people."

This guy... "No, I am not too stupid, but as a celebrity I need to keep my public image up. But people blatantly avoid you so I'm making you my force field."

"Do what you want, but I'm far too busy to be bothered with trivial conversation. In other words, don't talk to me if its not important."
