Chapter 2

Once classes ended for the day, Blair bolted out her classroom door. Being the first one out, she was able to get a head start into the slowly filling hallway. Man I got to get to Jaden's Classroom. Though it was hard for a girl of her size to push her way through a crowd of people, Blair finally made it to Jaden's last class. But he wasn't there.

"You're wasting your time Blair. Jaden already left with Hasselberry, Alexis, and Syrus." Bastion said. Anguish filled Blair. Why was Alexis always with Jaden?

"Oh thanks Bastion. Hey what are you still doing in class you're like the last person to leave" Blair observed.

"I was teaching the teacher the proper way to use spell and trap cards because he can't" He smirked.

Without even realizing that Dr. Crowler was now standing behind Bastion she had blown out into a laugh out loud state.

"Is there something funny Blair?" Crowler asked

Blair stopped immediately and shook her head. It then dawned on her mission and she ran off.

"Bye Bastion." She yelled as she started to run down the hallway. Geez, how did Hasselberry be able to get to Jaden so fast. I need to remember to ask him about that.

When Blair had caught up with her friends, they were all heading towards the common hang out place.

"So what are you gonna do Jaden," his friend Syrus asked?

"Just wait, you guys can do your homework but I'm just going to wait till Alexis comes to do it," Jaden answered.

"Oh yeah, you guys have that love-I mean 'tutoring' thing today right," Hasselberry added innocently.

Blair froze in place when she heard that. Did she even hear right? It just didn't even seem morally right that Jaden was going to be 'tutored' by Alexis.

"Hey guys," Blair interrupted happily. All three guys turned around to see her pretending to still catch her breath.

"Hey you ok little lady," Hasselberry questioned?

"Yeah, I just ran to catch up with you guys," Blair replied. That was sort of the truth.

"Well don't cause you'll kill yourself otherwise," Syrus added.

"Uh guys weren't we talking about something, "Jaden asked, confused.

"No, not at all, just that you were going to get help from Alexis. So are you finally going to tell her," Syrus wondered.

"Yeah Sarge, are you? You really should. I mean you'll be all alone and-"

"Yeah I know you people have mentioned that all day. But no I am not going to tell her. This was meant to be a learning thing" Jaden sighed jokingly.

Syrus chortled, "Yeah you learning is like Bastion becoming dumb."

Jaden frowned but a dorky smile replaced his mock depression. "Good point, but I should pretend like I'm interested," Jaden added to himself instead of his friends.

"Well yeah, but I don't really see why you should do that Sarge. Alexis will see right through that," Hasselberry said, confused. Blair was right there with him. She couldn't even see why Jaden would even want Alexis to go through all that trouble. Or more of the question, why would she want to do that at all?

"Well in any case can I-I mean we hang out with you until she comes," Blair asked.

All three boys stared at her. They had totally forgotten she was present but never the less Jaden gave his dorky smile and said "Sure."

By this time they had gotten off of that topic the party of four had reached the Slifer dorms. And a figure in black was waiting for them. Chazz Princeton.

"What took you so long Slifer Slacker? You're as slower than my seventy-year old grandmother," Chazz called out.

"Well how are you Chazz," Syrus asked not really interested in what he had to say.

"Fine, midget thanks for asking," he replied in his normal rudeness.

All four of them seemed to brush off his rudeness and walked inside. Chazz followed.

"So, ask me what happened today." Chazz commanded them once they were all comfortable.

"What happened today Chazz," Hasselberry questioned in the same bored, monotonous tone that Syrus had.

"I got a girlfriend." Chazz smirked.

Instantly laughter rang throughout the dorm. "You got a what?" Jaden demanded.

"A girlfriend Slacker and that's more than you'll ever get" Chazz gave a creepy smile.

"Whatever Chazz."

"Yeah, I feel bad for the poor sap that's dating you though," Blair grimaced unhappily.

"Whatever Blair, you're just jealous that you aren't like the Chazz and is able to find a wonderful person like I was."

"Yeah well I never asked what you thought so forget it," Blair snapped. With that last comment she rose out of her chair and walked out the door. Soon though. Soon I will have a boyfriend. And it will be Jaden. From a distance though, Blair could hear Chazz saying. "I'm dating Mindy," and that disgust her so.
