I decided to try it again. I made a pairing like this once before. I don't like flames but if you must then go ahead...but still...a friendly flame wouldn't hurt. Not that everyone will flame but those who will. Ya know, just let me know if you like it or not.
Chazz was sitting in one of his many classes. He wasn't paying attention. He probably wasn't the only one. But he had more on his mind than just school work or dueling. His brothers were on his mind. Well, more accuratly the present they had given him was on his mind. At first he thought it was pretty immature of them but then the present really started to get to him. He slowly felt his confidence leaving him. Everyday he would return to his dorm room and have to deal with that damned present. It was torturous. What was the point of it? Did they think it was funny? If they wanted him to go through with the plan he would need to be more self-confident!
"Chazz? Are you listening to me?"
Chazz shook his head to clear his thoughts. Professor Banner was standing over him. He didn't seem angry. In fact, it seemed he rarely got as angry as the other teachers did.
"Sorry, Professor. I was just thinking." Chazz said.
Banner just looked at him. "You must have been very deep in thought. You didn't even realize that class had been dismissed." Banner waved his arm around the classroom. Chazz followed it and saw that he was right. He was the only student left in the whole room. It was just him and Banner.
"What's the matter, Chazz? Is something bothering you? I've noticed that you haven't been paying much attention in this class. I can only assume you haven't been listening in other classes either."
Chazz looked at his teacher. He seemed to be genuinly concerned for him. That was a first. But what could he say? 'There's an evil present in my room, come save me?' He would sound crazy.
"Nothing's wrong. Nothing. I've just been tired lately." He stood and began to gather his things.
"Is there a reason you haven't been sleeping?" Banner asked.
Pharaoh, Banner's trusty cat, began to fiddle with one of Chazz's notebooks. He shooed the cat away. Banner caught his cat and held him tightly in his arms. Chazz finally had all his things ready and started to head for the door.
"Don't worry about it. Nothing's wrong, ok? Forget it!" Then he left.
But Banner couldn't forget about it. Something was wrong. Something was really wrong. What was it that was bothering Chazz so much? He left his classroom and started to head back to the Slifer Dorm. Maybe Jaden and the others would know. True, they weren't that good of friends with Chazz but maybe they knew something. It was a worth a try.
Short chapter but I like making the first chapters short. Tell me what you think. If you must flame then go ahead...though I don't like it too much. But if you like it then you're very welcome!
