A/N: Here's Chapter 2 of A Secret Rich Angel. Forgive me if this is either a super-short chapter or if the characters are OOC. I spent most of yesterday writing 'Chibi Yugi' so my brain is virtually fried of ideas right now, but I'm trying anyway! Enjoy!
Last Time
"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."
End Flashback
Alexis chuckled nervously, unsure of what to say next.
Adrian's gaze stayed fixed on her, waiting to see what next it was she was going to say.
"So…um…I…" Alexis stuttered, trying to find the right words but failed miserably in doing so.
"Yes, Alexis?" Adrian asked, a bit curious at the fact that she had such trouble assembling her words in front of him.
"What are you doing, just staring at the clouds like that?" She asked, almost impulsively.
"Nice going, Alexis. Now if he's anything like Chazz when a girl other than me talks to him, he'll snap at you and storm off!" She thought, mentally scolding herself for asking such an impulsive question.
She knew that with having high amounts of money came a high and mighty 'I'm better than you' attitude.
She knew that all too well from her experiences with Chazz.
She did her best to hold back a sigh as her blonde bangs fell in front of her face as she waited for Adrian to snap at her like she expected, but he never did.
She slowly brought her head back up to the elder Gecko, but to her surprise he was smiling.
"I'm here looking at the clouds because it relaxes me. And relaxation helps facilitate a healthy balance between body and mind, you know." He answered.
"Wow…that was so deep…so wise. Did you make that up?" She asked, intrigued by how insightful his remark was.
Adrian chuckled quietly as he pushed his lens back up against his eyes gently. "No, why?" He asked.
"No reason." She replied quickly.
"Wow maybe I was wrong about him. He didn't snap at me like Chazz would've if it were another girl." She thought, unknowingly blushing.
Adrian noticed this, but was polite enough not to bring it up.
"So…may I sit with you and watch the clouds for a while?" She asked as her blush grew darker.
She could hear her pounding heart beats ringing in her ears as she anxiously waited Adrian's answer.
After what seemed like hours, Adrian smiled.
"Sure I would enjoy some company. It will give a chance for us to get to know one another more." He replied as he moved over, creating a spot for her to lay next to him.
She held back a giggle as she slowly sat down next to him and slowly slid downward until her body was peacefully sprawled out the same as his.
"So how do you like things here at Duel Academy?" She asked, as she gazed upward at the clouds that slowly but in a highly beautiful manner passed by.
"It is not as upscale as East Academy from what I have seen so far, but of course I haven't seen all of what this Academy offers yet." Adrian answered, his eyes not moving from the passing clouds.
"Who else have you met here at the Academy?" She asked, assuming that with his rich status he had probably already met a plethora of people.
"No one." He answered calmly.
"What do you mean?" She asked innocently, hoping he wouldn't see she was playing dumb.
Adrian chuckled softly. "What I mean is that you're the only one here at the Academy I have met so far since arriving here."
She held back a joyful squeal as she smiled at him. "I see. Well I guess I'll be going. Nice meeting you, Adrian." She told him as she got up from where she'd been sitting.
"I agree. It was nice meeting you, Alexis." Adrian replied, shifting his gaze from the clouds above to her near him.
"Yup, I guess I'll see you around." She said with a slight giggle.
"Yes I have a feeling our paths will cross again soon." He replied with a grin.
She smiled and waved good-bye to him as he returned the good-bye wave.
Little did the 2 duelists know that they had been watched by a very jealous and enraged Chazz Princeton who had seen the whole visit between the two from a secluded location and was burning with absolute rage…
