Supreme: Yo, Yo, Yo!

Zane: what, what, what?

Supreme: huh? Oh, here's a new story I wanted to write for a long time. It's not gonna be longer than maybe three to six chapters

Zane: thank you! Here I thought you'd be stuck on another story to write that won't end until like 50 chapters later!

Supreme: anyway, disclaimer! I don't Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or anything that you know for a fact isn't mine (characters, music, TV, shows, etc.)

Zane: enjoy

Characters might be OOC

More Than a Crush

XxX

"You want me to what?" Zane asked his friend Atticus.

"I want you to go to Jaden and tell her to meet you in your secret place in the forest and then kiss her," Atticus repeated.

"Why would I do that? In fact, why did I agree to playing Truth or Dare with you?" Atticus shrugged, and Zane sighed. "She's gonna get the wrong idea from this."

"But you've got the right idea, though."

"She doesn't like me that way. I just have a stupid crush on her. It's gonna pass soon enough. She's too young for me anyway."

"How is she too young?"

"I'm 17, going on 18 in three months. Jaden is only 15, going on 16 in four months."

"Can't you wait for her in those four months?" Atticus asked.

"Face it, Atticus, I'm too old for her, and she's too young for me," Zane said.

"C'mon, Zane, you know my aunt and uncle are eight years apart, and they're happily married. You and Jaden are barely three years apart."

"I don't like her like that."

"You just admitted a few minutes ago that you had a crush on her!"

"I don't wanna marry her though!"

"Zane, she's a great girl! She's pretty, talented, maybe not smart…" Zane snickered. "… She's probably a great kisser, too."

"Will you let it go? I'm not gonna kiss her."

"I'll give you fifty bucks," Atticus said, pulling out a fifty.

"Done," Zane said, getting up and grabbing the fifty from his hand. Atticus smiled as Zane closed the door to his dorm room.

~Slifer Dorms~

"Um… Chumley, do you have any…" Jaden was cut off by the door to Syrus and Chumley's dorm opening (1). There stood Zane Truesdale, the top student at DA, at the door.

"B-Bro?" Syrus asked, surprised. Zane panted slightly, showing that he either ran here or had low stamina, which is a lie when he shows how fast and far he can run in gym class.

"Jaden," Zane said, ignoring Syrus.

"Um… yeah…?" asked Jaden.

"Come here for a sec," Zane said, gesturing her to come closer. Jaden got up and placed her Go Fish cards on the floor, face-down. She walked up to him, and Zane pulled her closer so he could whisper something in her ear. "Got it?"

"I guess…" Jaden mumbled.

"Alright, be there in fifteen minutes."

"How do I find my way?"

"Oh, that's right… I'll just take you there now."

"Um… okay, I guess…" Zane started out the door.

"Jay, where are you going?" Syrus asked. Zane turned around and looked at Jaden.

"N-Nowhere, Sy, just shuffle my cards in the deck. I'll be back at the dorm before midnight," Jaden said. Syrus looked at her suspiciously but went with it. He grabbed her cards and shuffled them in the deck of cards for their Go Fish game.

"C'mon," Zane whispered. Jaden followed.

'What does Zane wanna talk to me about? If it was so important that he couldn't talk about it in front of Sy and Chum, couldn't we have talked right outside the dorm?' Jaden thought. 'I guess I'll find out soon.'

Zane stopped in front of a small water fall no bigger than 7'9" with a small clearing around it. A small pond about three inches deep surrounded the water fall. The clearing was big enough for seven people to have a picnic, but, of course, it was just Jaden and Zane there. The rocks of the water fall were too long to find a way around. A tree was two yards away from the small pond. It looked like it was mashed together with another tree. It was leaning back slightly toward the rocks.

"I take it you like it here," Zane said with a small smirk. Jaden snapped out of her train of thought.

"Yeah, it's really pretty here," she responded.

"It's my secret spot I go to when I just wanna get away from the world." Jaden tilted her head to the side when Zane looked off in some other direction. He had such a sincere face on that Jaden thought it was a dream. Zane snickered and looked down at the ground before turning back to Jaden. "It's funny how people can act so nice but be so stupid and mean."

"I know that first hand." Zane stared at her.

"What happened?"

"This guy I had a crush on. He was so sweet around everyone else. He and I were alone one day in the parking lot. He gave me a dog tag that used to belong to his dad. I asked if I could see it. He gave it to me, and I dropped it on accident. He and I bent down to pick it up. He told me I was stupid and clumsy for dropping it. I realized I was just crushing on the nice façade he put up around everyone."

"My older sister knew that with a guy she dated."

"You have a sister?"

"I had a sister… that's another tale to tell though." Zane walked by the tree near the pond and gestured for Jaden to join him. Jaden leaned back on where it looked like the tree was mashed together. Zane walked in front of her and placed his arms on either side of her. Jaden blushed, but Zane's shadow blocked it to an extent.

"Zane… what are…?"

"Quiet…" Zane mumbled. He leaned forward so his face was millimeters away from Jaden's face. The nervous brunette closed her eyes halfway. Zane looked down at her. He leaned forward and captured Jaden's lips in a soft kiss.

Being nervous, Jaden had no idea what to do. She heard that unreturned love between friends either makes the friendship really awkward or ruins the friendship entirely. Zane was too much of a friend to lose, but Jaden didn't like him like that! At least… as far as she knew she didn't like him. Jaden awkwardly kissed back.

Zane sighed in the kiss. Obviously, this was Jaden's first kiss, and he was dared to steal that from her. He decided to make this the best possible first kiss for her as much as he could. He softly stroked Jaden's left cheek. Jaden took this as a good sign and placed her hand on Zane's right cheek. After a while, Zane forgot this was a dare and got a little dazed. He broke the kiss and moved to Jaden's neck. He didn't do anything except breathe on it. Jaden panted slightly, trying to regain her breath. Zane leaned back up to Jaden and kissed her cheek.

"That was your first kiss, wasn't it?" Zane asked the blushing brunette.

"I-It was…" Jaden replied. Zane looked at her and leaned closer to her. "Zane, I…"

"… Jaden, you don't need to say anything. I need to say I'm sorry for taking that away from you though…" Jaden bit her lip and broke away from Zane and the tree she was leaning on. "Jaden, where are you…?"

"I'm sorry, Zane. I-I need to go." Panicked, Jaden ran back to the Slifer Dorms. Zane groaned and leaned on the tree before sliding down.

'I just lost one of my friends…' he thought. The thought of losing one of his close friends almost brought him to tears. He ran his fingers through his hair and tried to hold his tears back. The thought of Jaden being lost… scared him to death. 'I can't lose her… she means so much to me… Obviously, this is more than a crush…'
