This is my first Yu-gi-oh GX fic. I based it of the Book Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher. The plot is entirely his but the characters are not his nor mine. The chapter is short because one, i didnt save the orginal copy and two i accidentally closed it. And three I didn't know if you guys would like it or not. The story is Fan based only. I hope you enjoy it.
Summary:
"You can't stop the future. You can't rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret is to press play."

Chapter 1
There are many ways to describe Alexis Rhodes, beautiful, charming, smart, and kind; the list could go on. But no one would have guessed the latest word to describe her. Dead. That's right, Alexis Rhodes—Queen of Obelisk Blue—is dead.
Two days ago, she was sent to the infirmary because Ms. Fontaine saw her on the floor barely breathing. She rushed her to the hospital wing, but it was too late. She was already dead. There were many rumors going around about why she died, but only two causes. Both causes involved pills. Some kids said it was an overdose, but most think suicide.
"I can't believe it," Atticus murmured. "She's dead." He sat on his bed, a little brown package behind him. It had no return address. His best friend was leaning against the doorframe.
"Open it." Zane said. He was referring to the package Atticus received from Ms. Dorothy earlier on that day.
"It's probably something from a fan girl." Atticus said. Normally, he would love to have something from an admirer, but he wasn't in the mood today.
"You never know, it might not be. Just open it." Zane said.
Atticus sighed and asked Zane to hand him the scissors. Zane smirked—he won the argument—and then handed his friend the scissors. Atticus hesitated before opening the package. All that was in there were seven tapes, a few walkman, and a cassette player.
"What the hell!" Atticus bellowed. He was furious. "Is this some sick kind of joke?" Atticus growled out.
Zane gave no reply. Instead he grabbed a cassette tape that had the number one painted on in pink nail polish.
'The person wrote with nail polish?' Zane mused.
"What are you doing?" Atticus growled out.
"Whoever sent these wanted you to listen to them Atticus." Zane responded.
"And how do you know that?" Atticus barked out. He was in a foul mood now.
"If they didn't why would they go through all the trouble of sending stuff to play the tapes in? Cassette tapes are out dated. It's hard to find something that actually plays them. They must want you to listen to the tape pretty badly." Zane responded.
"Fine, we will listen to the tape." Atticus grumbled. Zane slipped the tape into the cassette player and pressed play.
They waited for a few minutes. Nothing, not even a word came from the tape.
"See, I told you! It is some sick—" Atticus was cut off by a female voice. A voice both boys knew so well.
You received seven tapes, there are thirteen sides. A story is on each side. Each story explains a reason why. A reason why what you ask? Well I'm not going to tell you right now. The only way you are going to learn the reason is if you listen to all the tapes. And no fast forwarding or you won't get the full story. Listen closely, because I know you will not believe what you are hearing. But everything I say in these tapes is true. Now, anyone on this tape received a map with red stars on it. Each star places a part in my tale. You might want to keep the map with you for as long as you are listening to the tapes. The map plays an important role throughout my tale.
Atticus pressed pause on the machine. He couldn't believe it. Alexis's voice was on the tape. It was Alexis who sent him the tapes. Now the only question is why?
"We need to get the others to listen to this." Zane said. Atticus nodded.
The two teens headed down to the Slifer dorm. They didn't even knock; they just walked right into Jaden Yuki's dorm.
"Hey guys! I guess you guys decided to join us?" Jaden said, grinning at them. Bastion, Chazz and Syrus were with Jaden in his crowded dorm.
"No guys, we need you to come with us, pronto." Atticus said.
"Why?" Syrus asked.
"We got something from Alexis." Zane responded.
The younger males' eyes widened. They nodded anyway.
They all headed towards Atticus and Zane's dorm.
"Okay, so what did you get from Alexis?" Syrus asked.
"And how did you get it when she is dead?" Bastion asked.
"Atticus got a package from Ms. Dorothy and cassette tapes where in the package." Zane replied.
"How do you know it was from Alexis?" Jaden asked.
"We played the first tape. It was Alexis's voice." Atticus responded.
The others were silent. They had nothing else to say except. "Play the tape for us." It was Jaden who said that. Atticus nodded. He pressed the rewind button. Once the tape was back to the beginning, he pressed play.
The listened to the tape, all the way up until the part where Zane and Atticus stopped. When Atticus pressed pause, he asked. "Did you guys get a map?" They nodded. They didn't know what the map was for, until now.
"Do you guys want to continue listening?" Zane asked.
"Yeah!" Jaden said Syrus nodded in agreement.
"Continue," Bastion said. Chazz nodded as well; he was starting at the cassette tape in the machine. Atticus nodded and pressed play.
Now I know the first person on the tap brought friends to listen as well. Am I right Atticus? But you only have five, not including yourself, of the thirteen people on these tapes. So all I ask is that you send it to the next person after your name. That goes for everyone. And if you are listening with my brother, all I want you to do is send to the person that is after your tape. And if you don't, the second copy of these tapes will be released publicly. And believe me; you do not want that to happen. It will ruin you. I guarantee you that. Now how about I start the first story?
The boys waited for Alexis to continue. They couldn't believe their ears. Nothing made sense to them. They had no idea what was going on. The only thing they could do as of now was to continue to listen.
Okay tell me what you guys thought. Please Review!
