Disclaimer:I do not own YuGiOh GX… just this story.
Wow! Thanks to Meow Mix Meow Mix, dbzgtfan2004, Kagirinai Ame- Eternal Rain and Tk Macintosh for reviewing! It was all those reviews that made me update a little faster than I normally would. Now, time for the next Chapter…

Alexis ran all around the school, desperately trying to find Zane. What was going on? Was he alright? She just had to know.

When she did find him, he was at the pier, where they usually met. He was standing with his arms folded, as if he'd expected her to come after him.

"What's wrong?" Alexis asked slowly. She walked closer to him and stopped where she wasn't near or far away.

"I didn't know you and Jaden were together," Zane started. "I thought… that the two of us were connected; the way we could talk about anything together…"

Alexis' heart lurched. She knew what Zane was trying to say and she felt bad. She had never thought of him as anything but her friend. As if on cue, it started raining.

"Zane, I'm sorry, but…"

He never let her continue, he just walked past her, not looking back.

"Yeah. Later, Alexis." He waved his hand behind him casually. Alexis felt the rain pelting her, but somehow Zane didn't seem to get wet at all. She felt terrible as Zane walked away.

"Zane… I'm sorry I can't return your feelings."


"ALEXIS! Where have you been?"

Mindy and Jasmine rushed over to their friend. Alexis was soaked. After hearing all of that from Zane, she couldn't bring herself to move and had stayed in the pouring rain for a long time.

"I'm okay," she whispered to them.

"You liar," Mindy took her arm. "Let's go to the dorm. You're sure to have a cold tomorrow."

Inside their room, when Alexis had changed into fresh clothes, she told them everything.

Mindy made a face. "I can't believe you almost kissed a Slifer Slacker!"

"Don't call him that!" Alexis retorted.

"So you and Zane aren't friends anymore?" Jasmine looked at her.

"I guess not," Alexis hung her head. "He won't even look at me."

"So what happened to Jaden?"

OH CRAP! Alexis' mind raced. She'd left Jaden in the library to go after Zane! What would he think? Would he still want to be with her?

She stood up abruptly, and then fell.

"Alexis!" Mindy and Jasmine helped her into her bed. "Don't move, okay?" they said as they ran down the hallway to get an ice pack.

Alexis closed her eyes for a little while. Her mind focused on her experience with Jaden in the library, and she felt great. She remembered how it felt when they finally confessed to each other, how great it felt when he held her shoulders, and how close they were…

"Alexis?"

She opened her eyes and saw Jaden right in front of her. She sat up straight. "What are you doinghere? There are strict rules against boys coming into the girls' dorms!" she was surprised.

"I know, but I wanted to tell you it's okay if you like Zane…"

Alexis' eyes were frantic. "No! It's not like that at all!" she tried to explain and grabbed his hand. "Zane… he…"

"He's not happy about us, is he?"

"No… but it doesn't matter."

"Why doesn't it matter?" Jaden blinked.

"Because you're the one I want to be with…"

Jaden squeezed Alexis' hand. He was smiling again, as if to say "I know."

Alexis had tears in her eyes. "I want to be with you!" she gave him a tight hug.

Jaden was surprised when Alexis started crying in his shirt.

"You are the one person who can always make me smile…" He held her close, and they stayed like that until Alexis eventually fell asleep in Jaden's arms.

I love you so much that my heart can't take it…


And that was Chapter 2. I had to do this Chapter over a million times until I finally felt like I got it right. I think I really hit the Romance/Drama theme with it. Was it good? Tell me what you think in your review!
