Mel,
I am sorry I have to do this, but I'm leaving Duel Academy. My brother was right. I don't beling here. I'm sorry.
Syrus
A river of tears fell from Melanie's eyes as she read the note over again. Syrus Truesdale had been her boyfriend for almost three weeks, and had not shown any signs of wanting to leave.
"Jaden," Melanie shook the sleeping brunette's shoulder gently. "Jaden, please wake up!"
Jaden blinked and rolled over. "What's up, Mell? It's not time for class yet."
Syrus is gone!" The redhead felt tears welling in her eyes again as she handed the white paper to Jaden. She had found it on her bed when she woke up.
Jaden read the note quietly before looking up, brown eyes full of barely concealed sorrow. "Mel, do you think we should go looking for him? This is the second time he's decided he's not good enough for Duel Academy, and it's all Zane's fault." Jaden's gaze hardened at the mention of Syrus' older brother, who was one of the school's best duelists.
Melanie thought carefully. "No." she concluded. "This is what he wants. If he isn't happy, he shouldn't be here. Besides, we don't know when he wrote the note. He could be on a boat back to the mainland by now."
"I knew he and Zane had their problems, but..." Jaden shook his head, at a sudden loss for words. He looked back to Melanie, tears brimming in his eyes.

Throughout Mr. Banner's entire class, Melanie couldn't get her mind off of Syrus. And when the class was finally over, she ran to Mr. Banner. Perhaps he could tell her is any airplanes or boats have left the island yet?
Sorry Melanie." Mr Banner replied apologetically, "but no boats or planes have left the island since almost two days ago. Why all the sudden interest?"
"My boyfriend left the dorm last night." Mel admitted. "He left me a note about it."
"Chazz? Not possible. I saw him in class today."
"Not Chazz." Melanie almost laughed, but she forced herself not to. Mr. Banner must have seen Chazz and Melanie dance almost a month ago, when Melanie had lost the duel to him. "Syrus Truesdale. You know, my roommate."
"Syrus?" Mr. Banner frowned, looking perplexed. "He must be on the island then. He can't swim, and the mainland is too far to swim anyway. He must be outside somethere."
"Oh." Melanie sighed. "I'm scared for him, Father!" she said. "I was hoping that at least if he left, he could be at home, safe. But out in the forest all alone? Or drowning in the ocean?"
"It'll be okay, Melanie." Mr. Banner encouraged her. "Look, there are still students in the classroom. We could form a search party and go looking for him."
"Sorry Father, but I can't do that to him." When Melanie saw the teacher's confused expression, she explained, "This is what Syrus wants. He's not happy here at Duel Academy. And who am I to try to force him to stay?" She felt a warm river of tears flowing freely down her face, and she collapsed, sobbing, into Mr. Banner's arms.
Mr. Banner hugged Melanie, trying to comfort her. "It'll be okay." he tried to assure her, but even then he had doubts himself.

A/N: This story is already finished, I just need to type it up on Wordpad. And let me tell you, I'm dissapointed with the final product. I also have two other stories for Melanie, called Embarassment and Jealousy. Then I'm writing a Zatch Bell fanfiction, and a cute fluffy ChazzBastion oneshot, and then a story about Annabelle, and how she comes to Duel Academy. The next chapter is going to be so fluffy it's almost sappy. You have been warned ahead of time.
