Friendship (Seto Kaiba x Reader)

Chapter 4

Guys, there is a panic attack scene in here. If that is not something you should be reading, stop reading once (y/n) reaches the school office, and then it'll be over when you see the bolded time skip. Remember to take care of yourself!

"Walk faster, Joey! We're going to be late!" I yelled, smacking his shoulders. We were currently in day two of him giving me a piggyback ride to school. Tristan offered to carry our bags so Joey wouldn't break his back, but Joey was still moving really slow.

"I'm trying! You're so heavy!" he said, sighing dramatically.

"Oh? So I'm fat, huh?" I asked quietly.

"That's not what I- OW!" I pulled his hair. "You asked for it, Wheeler!" I yelled. "Now mush!"

"That's it!" He squatted down. "Off!"

"Fine!" I hopped off of his back with a huff. "Weakling," I muttered, barely loud enough for him to hear me.

"Oh boy," Tristan groaned.

"Did ya say something you little punk?!" Joey yelled. I screamed and ran, laughing like a maniac. Joey chased after me, fuming.

I ran as fast as my legs would take me.

I feel like I could do anything! I have so much energy!

I started cackling again, and soon the school yard was in sight. I looked behind me and saw that Joey was hot on my heels. Then I slammed into something and fell on my butt.

I looked up and saw Kaiba glaring at me.

"Sorry!" I grinned at him and saw that his glare lessened slightly.

"Why do you look like a raccoon?" he asked, irritation very present in voice.

"Oh my gosh, I stayed up all night last night! I know so much math now!" I started laughing again. "I've also had ten cups of coffee! Oh speaking of which, I need to pee. Wait, I need my bag. Where's Tristan?"

I stood up and looked around, but the only familiar face I saw was Joey, who was currently dying from all of the exercise.

"I'll talk to you later Se—" My eyes widened. "—Kaiba. Good luck on the math genius, test!" I skipped over to Joey, not daring to look at Kaiba after I almost called him by his first name.

"Joey, where's Tristan? I need my stuff." I poked his arm a few times. He ignored me, still focusing on catching his breath. Tristan walked up to us, bags in hand.

"Yay! I really need to pee. I also need more coffee." I stretched my arms out like a child waiting for a piece of candy.

"(y/n), how are you not tired?" Tristan asked, handing me my bag.

"Well, my dear diurnal friend, I have had zero sleep, which in itself makes me hyper, and I have also had a lot of caffeine to keep me awake—" I took a sip of coffee "—which is making me even more hyper. I may look like a raccoon, but I will pass this test." I took another sip of coffee, content with my explanation. "I'll see you guys at lunch!"

My classes went by quickly. I passed most of the time thinking about Kaiba. He seemed shy around me, nothing like what Joey made him out to be.

Man, I thought to myself, completely ignoring what the teacher was saying, he looked hot in those sweatpants.

The bell rang, signifying the end of class and the beginning of lunch. I stood up, stretched, and walked out of the classroom. I saw Kaiba walking out.
