Kendra Fraser was a lovely girl with simple goals in life. They involved getting good grades, getting into a great college, getting the perfect job, trustworthy friends, and, naturally, finding the right guy. her expectations were extremely high for all of them. For as long as she could remember, she had the best grades, got all the scholar awards, had her eye on some of the best colleges in the country. This was easy for her because she was just plain brilliant, school was no trouble for her. Finding the perfect guy, however, was a totally different story. This said "guy" had to be kind, smarter than the average bear, funny, and had to be there for her when she needed him most. And, if possible, cute. No matter how much she looked, she couldn't find one guy who could fit the bill.
Kendra was gorgeous, fourteen years old, way above average intelligence, a mix between a red head and a brunette, and adored by every guy who laid eyes on her. Those who knew her best would say that her eyes were her most beautiful feature. Big, blue, bright eyes that had the longest eyelashes imaginable and were the envy of all girls.
Boys would go after her by the dozens in her teen years, but none had the qualities she was looking for. Out of all the guys she had met, none of them were what she was looking for. They were all either stuck up, boring, couldn't walk and breathe at the same time, or were just the biggest jerks on the planet. Soon enough, though, her boy problems would be over in such a short time after she joined Dueling Academy.
Dueling Academy was one of the most prestigious schools in the country and Kendra had had her heart set on it for the past decade. This school was best known for it's academic achievements and for it's dueling program. Teens from all over the country would come to this school just for the dueling. Only the best of the best were accepted to this special school and the less than excellent were dismissed. Ever since she discovered the Academy, she had a great fear that she would be rejected from the school of her dreams, so she spent most of her free time, that wasn't already dedicated to her studies, training and practicing with her father who was an expert.
Though Kendra was very happy with her life, she couldn't help but feel isolation from the rest of the world. All of her time was spent studying and practicing, none for friends. The few friends she ever had became distrusted and estranged to her. Either she had pushed them away unknowingly or they turned out to be fake friends. She hoped this would change with the new school, and unbeknownst to her, it would.
To get into this school, one had to first pass a basic test. Anyone who didn't pass was automatically disqualified from enrollment to the school. Math, science, English, excetra. For a girl like Kendra, this was a piece of cake. Her main priority was the second test, the actual duel of passage. Even if you scored 100 on the basic test, if you lost the duel, you lost the chance to go to Duel Academy. Winning this duel was her main priority at the moment. But she was more than confident that she would pass her test, win her duel, and gain her well deserved entrance to the Academy.
Naturally, she passed the basic. This was no surprise to her nor her family. It was simple enough, she even got the highest score out of all the applicants. Well, she tied, with a boy. Some guy named Matthew something, or was it Martin? Mason? Whatever, next was the duel that would, or course, be much tougher. After the announcement of the passing pupils of the first test, the passing few were sent to a dueling stadium in town to be tested on part two of their inauguration to the academy. Kendra would be the last to be tested. To her surprise, she was going to duel against one of the best duelists in the school while the others, to whom she paid little attention to, were up agaisnt trainers. In other words, she was in big trouble. This guy's name was Chad Princeton and he seemed eager to get her kicked out of the school.
As soon as she saw Chad walk out onto the floor, she fell sick to her stomach. His jet black hair shocking and his intense blue eyes cold and frightening.
"I'm not going to let some little girl beat me. I am, in fact, one of the greatest duelists at this academy and I have to keep my image," Chad roared, his tone as cold as his eyes. His blues trained on her browns, unmoved, unblinking.
Okay, he has major ego issues. Not surprised.
Kendra's reply was straight forward and confident, "Let's just see what you say about that after you lose."
After a long and painstaking battle, Kendra turned out victorious and Chad humiliated. The crowd roared with excitement and cheered for her, her name echoing throughout the stadium. She couldn't beleive she won and was releived that it was finally over. In a few minutes, the dean of the school came over the congratulate her on a job well done. Deciding that it would be unsports like of her to just walk off, she turned around to thank Chad for a duel well played. No such luck.
"You're not all that great. You just made a lucky move. You will pay for humiliating me in front of the whole school, trust me, you will," he snapped, then quickly ran off before the other students could give him the business. In her mind, she knew he was a sore loser and was just trying to make her upset, but a little part of her really hoped he was just being sarcastic.
Well, there's the first chapter and it's taken me two years to get here! Yay... If it sounds like something you would be interested in, please, keep going, when I write more of course. And if you were wondering, it's suppose to be a Yu-Gi-Oh GX thing. That's how my dream went anyway, the rest of it has next to nothing to do with it actually. Just to let you know...Johnny Depp is awesome! random
