AN - okay so just a quick note, story's not gonna follow the EXACT Gx storyline it will at some point and others no. Hopfully though i can actually keep with it as much as possible. Plus this part is a few months into Duel Acadamy. Ok on with Arata

now !~

The day seemed to just go on forever with some of these idiots. Sure the class was intresting but why did some of these fools even come here. Some girls in the back wouldnt stop their talking and it was giving me a headache,some of the Ra's where at least giving a half imitation of focusing, but then some lazy slifer red was sleeping in class.

Of course we all knew who the sleeper was. No one but the school famous jaden yuki. The kid sure got on my nerves. What was up with his over cofidrnce he was a slifer yet he swore he was best . It was actuallylaughable.

He wasnt the only one though,so many of the kids here shouldnt have even been here ! They should have done a better job at weaving out the soon to be drop outs.

" Arata ..." My dorm mate Jane called nudging my arm trying to get my attention. I turned to the red head who smiled shyly.

" You seem upset Arata whats wrong ?" she asked tilting her head slightly to the right. I shook my head and raised my finger over my lips to signal her to be quite. She nodded and focused her attention back onto the proffersor cand his lecture.

At least she could focus and listen like she should. Jane was a book worm and probably knew more about the origins of duel monsters that anyone here. Thanks to her i knew much more than i would ever need.

She was also basically a calculator. She could calculate the precent of an outcomes possibility in her head like no problem... When she wasnt under pressure. In her own duels she became so nerveous she in a way malfuntion.

We got along pretty well and she strangly looked up to me especially for help in her duels.

I wrote some notes on what was being said about monster effects that i could use later. For the most part I already knew the material by heart. Those month after months at the prep school had you cramming hoping to pass.

Now much later here i am wearing blue as proof to my skills. I refused to not be the best here thoughly right now admitedly i wasnt ... Yet.

I still planned to be the best if anything dueling was my top priority here. While some people also hung around with friends i was tweaking my deck, working on strategies and ultimatly dueling.

I mean friends here were pointless. I didnt need them. After leaving Duel Acadamy id probably never see them again and while here i dont need any help from them. I could handle myself and besides dueling is a solo thing for me.

The only people i could come close to counting as friends was Jane and Chazz Princeton. Some may say he was the elitest prick to me more of the only person i could talk to when i was at prep school and even now. Sure he seemed arrogant but in all honesty its not arrogance if he was good.

Class ended and we started filing out. I caught up with Jane who was talking to her i knew to be crush. Her cheeks flushed bright pink as she nodded happily and walked away.

She walked over to me and we made our way to our dorm in silence as i wasnt much of a talker and Jane was normally quite. The peace was welcomed and slowly my headache edged away.

We got into our room and i threw my bag on my bed then sat down next to it. I started searchig for my phone that was ringing like crazy the constant buzz.

I finally found my small silver and blue phone that kept buzzing to my annoyance. I looked at the number before answering.

" Hello ? " I asked into the phone not hearing anyone yet.

" Arata someone wants to talk to you ." came the reply. The voice belong to that of chazz. Now why was he calling me i had zero clue. Even though me and chazz were friends it was rare for him to call me.

" Who is it ?" i asked. Most people didnt really talk to me either. there is only one person i could think of that would go through chazz to talk to me. " Its Jaden yuki . Isnt it?"

" well duh. Here ill put him on " chazz sounded annoyed and i could understand his annoyance. The over optimistic slifer red sure hit the same nerve for me and chazz. What did he want me for ?

" Hey Arata ! "

" what do you want Jaden ? I dont feel like talking to you ." i said bluntly. I just wanted to get this conversation over with as soon as possible.

" ohh ... I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out. You seem lonely lately. " he said obviously hurt in his voice. Lonely ? Well of course but it was by choice. I didnt want to hang out with him if i was gonna hang with anyone it certainly wasnt gonna be him.

" No. Im not going to hang with you or any of your little friends. " i scoffed through the phone i heard chazz chuckling before taking back his phone from a protesting Jaden.

" Tried to tell him Arata. Anyways ill see you tommorow for our practice duel . Ready to lose ?"

" heh yeah right like ill lose ! Ive reworked my d-"

" Arata i wanna duel you !"

Apparently Jaden had taken the phone again from chazz becuase you could hear chazz yelling in the background.

He had also just challenged me to a duel which i wouldnt pass up so easily.

" Fine ill duel you Jaden. Dont expect me to go easy just cause your a slifer." i said keeping the smirk out of my voice. I wanted to put that slifer in his place.

" Ha ! Fine meet you by that big Oak tree !" he said happily . i said my goodbyes and hung up. I saw Jane raising a brow at me.

" Jaden Yuki is going down !"

AN- ok how was that ? Warning i suck at writting actual duel scenes so ill just write the end results. Ohh and just to let ya know all my fics are typed from my ipod so if theres bad grammer or spelling mistakes i apologize ahead of time. Ok so please review and next chapter up soon !
