"I bet he won't!" Syrus shouted back at Jasmine as they stood waiting for Alexis and Jaden to come out of Alexis's dorm. They had been in there for almost fifteen minutes and Syrus still didn't believe that Jaden was asking Alexis out.
"Well, why wouldn't he be?" Jasmine retorted, obviously annoyed that the bluenette was not listening to her at all! "They're sitting in there alone, they don't know anyone knows, and for all we know they could be making out in there as we speak!"
Syrus cringed at the last part. Knowing that Jaden was starting to realize that he liked the blonde girl was hard enough on him, let alone thinking about them making out right after he confessed. "Well... um..." He trailed off several times. He knew that he didn't want to tell Jasmine the reasons for his fears of Jaden and the blonde getting together, but she was still loking at him as if expecting some kind of proper answer, so he sighed and confessed. "I just don't want Jaden to have a girlfriend."
Jasmine stared at him incrediously. "Your just coming out and saying it?" she asked, obviously surprised. "We all knew you loved him, but we always thought you were too shy to just come out and say it!" She almost looked impressed as she stared down at the silver eyed boy, who was right now staring at his feet, blushing heavily.
"Well... I guess I just neve-" He stopped when he realized what she had just sayed. If possible, he blushed even heavier as he looked back up into her eyes. He was silent for a moment, contemplating what she had just said before, "WHAT! I don't love him!"
"Then why don't you want him and Alexis together?"
"Because he'll forget me!" Syrus said. "He was my first friend ever, the first person that told me I was good enough to get somewhere in life. When I moved to the Ra dorm, we grew apart. Then the obolisk dorm made that even worse. If he gets a girlfriend, i'm doomed!"
"Aww, Sy!" came a voice from behind him and he whipped around to see Atticus standing behind him with a no less than amused expression on his perfect face.
"A-Atticus!" he squeaked, obviously embarassed about the older boy overhearing his rant. The bluenette looked down again as he felt a renewed flush spread across his small face.
"You do know how Jaden is." Atticus said, bringing the younger boys head back up in surprise. "He would never think to purposefully ignore you Sy. If he knew that you felt ignored, you would be his top priority until you yelled at him to stop. Jaden is and always will be your best friend, no matter what dorm or what girls come into or out of your lives."
Syrus blinked in surprise. For such an idiotic airhead, Atticus was one of the most understanding guys ever. 'He's so smart sometimes that it's scary.' Syrus thought, mulling over what Atticus had said. Then he broke into a grin. "I guess your right."
Atticus playfully rolled his eyes. "As usual!" he claimed in his overly perky singsong voice that came after his serious conversation every time. It always made the other person wonder if the conversation had even been real. Syrus was no exeption as Atticus laughed and pulled him into a friendly headlock. 'Just like Jaden did' he thought. He mentally smacked himself. Jaden would always be his best friend, girlfriend or not. 'Besides.' he thought to himself as he watched Atticus practically strut down the hallway. 'Alexis is my friend too. Why would both friendships change just because of a different relationship between the two?'
"Soooo..." Jasmine crooned, bringing Syrus out of his inner mullings. "You still think that Jaden won't ask her out?"
"Absolutley not!" he said turning to the girl. "He may have a lot of courage but even he wouldn't do something like that so soon.
"Wellllllll... if your so certain, then care to make a little wager?"
"Hmmm..." Well, what did he have to loose? "Your on!" he said smiling in a way that he hoped convinced her that he was a lot more confident than he felt. He never had been much of a desition maker.
"Alright. I say that Jaden is going to ask her out in there. You say he's not. So, if he doesn't, then i'll..." she trailed off for a moment. "What will I do?" she asked him.
He thought for a moment before letting out a devious smile, which was more unusual for him than it was for Atticus to be smart.
"Well... How about..." he leaned in close and whispered something in her ear, grinning all the time. 'Wow, I am good!' he thought as he watched her expression.
She stared at him for a moment in silence. She was obviously surprised and Syrus was happy that for once today it wasn't him. Then she smiled. "Fine," she smirked. "But, if I win..." she proseded to whisper something into his ear that made his eyes go wide in surprise(again), then worry. Did he really have enough courage in his decition to agree to do something like that?
But one look at Jasmine's triumphant expression, sure that he wouldn't except her challenge, made his mind up for him. "You're on!"
"What?"
"I said, you're on!"
"Fine then."
"Alright."
"Good."
With that they prosseded to stare at the door, waiting for someone to come out. After a good ten minutes of waiting, a breathless and slightly red couple appeared at the door, slightly surprised to find their two best friends standing there staring at them.
Then Jaden smiled. "What's up, Sy?" he questioned with a dreamy smile, looking to the two standing in front of him like he was drunk out of his mind. "Jasmine," he said, acknowledging the girl next to his friend.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Alexis, looking at the two. They glanced at eachother, ones gaze going up, the others down, and made a silent pact to do just that: stay silent and not utter a word of truth.
"We were waiting for you, Alexis. We were heading to meet the others and came to get you. We were going to get Jaden next." Jasmine lied smoothly and spotlessly, as if she had had much practice in doing so.
"Oh!" exclaimed Jaden happily (though, when it comes to Jaden, when isn't his voice happy?). "Well then lets go!"
The others followed a happily skipping Jaden down the hallway. Syrus followed with slight giggling, while Alexis and Jasmine stayed behind the boys. "So..." she said, looking at Alexis out of the corner of her eye. "What happened in there?"
Alexis let out a slight giggle and turned to face her friend. "He..." she began, but trailed off, staring into space as they walked, a dreamy smile on her face and a far away look in her eyes. "Alexis?" Jasmine questioned, trying to get her friends attention back.
"Oh! Right! Sorry.." she laughed sheepishly as her friend grinned at her. "Oh god! He... he... he..."
Jasmine's impationce peaked. She grabbed her blonde friend by the shoulders and shook her gently. "Did he ask you out or what?" she questioned intensly, earning a bewildered look from Alexis, and a questioning glance from Sy, who was, even though walking ahead, still listening intently to the conversation between the girls.
Alexis's shock faded and she smiled. "Yes..." she almost whispered, staring at the wall above her brunette friends head.
This statement got three very different reactions. Jasmine was victorious and shouted happily, fist pumping like a moron before quickly regaining her composure. Jaden smiled fondly at Alexis, snatching her from Jasmines hands, twirling her once, before planting a sweet kiss on her soft lips, much to her intense pleasure. Syrus, on the other hand, almost cried out in despair. At the moment she said that one simple word, he felt like sinking to his knees and shouting at the heavens. How could they do this! Again!
As Jaden and Alexis made their new relasionship very known, Jasmine turned around, her evil grin and sly twinkle in her eye making Syrus very nervous as the gaze came to land on him. He backed up a step, shouted a haisty "See ya!" over his shoulder, and tried to make a break from the brunette. However, becore he could get more than two steps, the arm of the one person he really didn't want it to be grabbed his arm and dragged him toward her dorm. "Now you get whats coming to you!" she whispered triumphantly, as she looked to make sure the lovebirds were gone before closing the door, her and Syrus on one side, the rest of the world on the other.
Syrus was now beat red and cowering away from the crazed girl. "U-umm... c-could we t-talk about th-this?" Jasmine turned to face him, a smirk sent from the underworld gracing her features, as she began to approach the cowering boy who was now crawling away from her as fast as he could go. "You lost the bet," she said, her smirk widening even more as his back hit the wall and she was now steadily advancing on the blushing bluenette. "You're payment to me comes as follows."
Syrus was really worried now. Jasmine was steadily gaining closer and he had no where to go. "W-well I- I- I- I Ahhhh!" he was cut off from his stutterings as Jasmine grabbed his arm and pulled him forward off the floor. She dragged him to the dresser, and with one had still clasped firmly on his small arm, rummaged until she found what she was looking for. She shoved the small blue bundle into his arms and shoved him into the bathroom, shouting a merry, "Get ready!" as he fell to the floor and the door slammed shut behind him.
"Wait! Jasmine, WAIT!" he banged on the door for a moment. "You lost the bet!" came the girls voice through the closed door. "Now, hold up your end!" Syrus sighed. He knew the girls well enough that he was sure that he wasn t getting out of here until he did as he was told. So he turned around and began to strip off his own Obelisk uniform, grumbling unhappily the whole time. Soon he was standing there in nothing but his glasses as he bent down and grabbed the small bundle Jasmine had given him. He quickly pulled on the clothing, glanced once in the mirror, and called to Jasmine that he was dressed.
"Well, lets see!" she cried, hopping up from the bed. She opened the door. And started laughing. Hard.
Syrus instantly blushed even redder than before. The bluenette glanced at his reflection in the full length mirror to the side of the room. Even he was surprised. His blue hair waas pushed down a little more than usual, and the glasses made his eyes look larger than they were. His thin arms were left out in the open and the small top hugged his less than manly phisique. The small blue skirt showed more of is pale legs than he liked, and the boots just topped the whole thing off. Yep. He looked like a girl.
The whole time he was studying the look in the mirror, Jasmine was laughing hard. When she finally stood up, she was wiping tears from her eyes and her face was flushed. "Oh! D-don t you l-look s-so" (more laughing) "ADORABLE!" Syrus was more embarressed than ever before. Here he was, in Jasmine s dorm room, dressed like a girl. Just what he needed to raise his self esteem.
He growled at the still laughing girl in front of him. "Now what?" She looked up at him, laughter still clear in her eyes. "Now..." she stepped into the bathroom for a moment, and when she came out, she was holding another small blue bundle in her arms. "Bye!" she called and ran out the door. Syrus, caught off guard, ran to the door and called to her. But it was too late. Jasmine was long gone. With his clothes.
