A/N: This is finally the start of the AdrianXAlexis story I had mentioned. To those Adrian haters out there (and that I assume is most GX fans, why I do not know as I like him) don't flame me for this fic. To those who are loyal readers of my ever-growing collection of stories I hope you enjoy this! There is mental angst by Alexis at the start of this, but after that up until much later the story will be free of angst. Jaden may be a little OOC in this so don't flame me as you've been warned. This chapter does not have virtually any dialogue as most of it is Alexis thinking but towards the end, she sees Adrian and approaches him.
Brief Summary: Set during Season 3 after it starts. Alexis realizes that she could never win Jaden or love Chazz. But what happens when she falls for the school's new rich kid…
Alexis Rhodes exited the main entrance of Duel Academy following the duel between the new exchange student, Jesse Andersen and 3rd-year student her friend and secret crush, Jaden Yuki.
"Well that was a thrilling duel. Jaden won with his Neo-Spacians like always." Alexis thought with a sigh as she kept walking.
"I hate to say this but I'll never get to have Jaden. I mean let's face it. It's both our third year at the Academy and Jaden still has no idea of my feelings for him. At least when I was brainwashed in the Society of Light, I was actually respected by him but it wasn't the genuine respect I wanted from him. It was respect out of fear whereas if he didn't respect me I'd lash out at him. I guess Jaden and I just weren't meant to be. And oh God knows I could never love Chazz. We may be friends but in romance, well The Chazz just doesn't match right." She thought with a mental chuckle.
She kept walking for a moment as a thought of finality finally entered her mind.
"If I'm to ever find love I must do one of two things. Either put Jaden behind me for good romance-wise or somehow get back to the Society of Light. Since the second is virtually impossible I must do the first." She thought as she had made her choice.
She would do all she could to put Jaden behind her.
For the first time in what seemed like days, maybe even months since her demise as the Society of Light's 'White Queen' she had actually felt content about something.
But there was still a deep nagging feeling inside her that wished she had never been freed from the Society's grip.
She brushed off the thought for a moment, figuring it was just a strange, unwanted impulsive one.
She was driven from her thoughts for the time being as she heard the soft, quiet humming of the new exchange student from East Academy, Adrian Gecko who was resting on the grass in front of a large shady tree.
Adrian was a tall muscular teen with dark-red hair who wore light silver rounded glasses. Around his neck he wore a dark black necklace.
He normally wore a East Academy blazer with various rings and bands on his right arm.
Unseen by the casual observer is a wireless ear transmitter in his left ear used to communicate with his close friend Echo, that to the normal observer looked like an earring.
Adrian looked up at the sky thoughtfully as he watched the passing clouds floated by high above him.
Alexis gulped softly and cautiously approached him.
Adrian looked at her as she approached. "Hey there." He said in a calm reserved tone.
"H-Hi I'm Alexis Rhodes. What's your name? I heard Viper introduce you but I must have dozed off for a minute or 2." Alexis answered, holding back a blush.
Adrian chuckled quietly. "I see. I'm Adrian Gecko but call me Adrian." He answered.
Alexis smiled and nodded. "It's good to meet you Adrian."
He nodded in response. "Likewise."
