I'm so sorry, my fans. My computer had a virus during the summer. Plz forgive me! And just a reminder, this takes place before the Society of Light. Now here is what you have been waiting for, Chapter 3 of The Beauty with the Brains!
The Beauty with the Brains
(A/D: I don not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Rose and the Harpie Five are my characters!)
Chapter 3: The Gift
The sun streamed through the curtains into the room. Rose started to stir when her alarm clock turned on and her favorite radio station blasted throughout the room. She hit the off button and got out of bed. After she got changed, Rose picked up her deck and heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" she yelled
"It's Bastion." replied a voice.
"You can come in. The door's unlocked." Rose shouted again.
Bastion opened the door and told her, "Happy Birthday!"
"You remembered?" Rose asked astonished. She put her deck back on her desk. She slowly walked up to him.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" Bastion replied as he closed the door.
"It's just that it's been so long…" Rose said with her eyes to the ground.
"It's only been three years. Besides, I remember your birthday more than I do my parents' wedding anniversary." Bastion replied with a grin.
Rose looked up and her eyes looked sincere. "That is so sweet." she told him and took him into an embrace, "I really missed you."
"I missed you too," Bastion replied. He hugged her back, bent his head down and kissed her on the cheek, making her face turn into a faint pink blush.
"Was that my present?" Rose asked as she picked up her deck and keys and put them in her pocket, her face still pink.
"Part of it," Bastion replied and headed toward the door," Come to my room later for the rest of it."
"Where is your room again?" Rose asked him with a tilt of her head. She knew that since there weren't many female Ra's, it wouldn't be hard to find his room since it was in the same building.
"Three doors down the hall on the right," Bastion said a he headed toward the door, "You might as well leave. It's getting late."
"Just wait a minute." Rose told him as she ran toward the door, closing it behind her and ran toward him.
As they walked out of the door, Rose and Bastion heard a murmur from behind some foliage.
"Wait a minute." Rose said as she crouched behind some bushes and moved to branches to see who it was.
"Who is it?" Bastion asked as he stood next to her.
"Shush." Rose whispered as she turned to see who it was.
"Well??" bastion asked with his arms crossed.
"Just some Slyfers." Rose said as she started to get up, but heard a sentence that made her blood boil.
"I heard there was a hot new Ra that's part of the Harpie 5." Said a Slyfer with spiked blond hair named Nick.
How dare they! Rose hated it when people were spreading rumors about her, especially when it had to do with her being Harpie Girl.
"I've seen her. And the good part is she's single!" Another red-jacket student exclaimed with hope in his eyes.
"Marco, no she isn't. Didn't you see the way that she clings on to Bastion Misawa? I heard that they were together since middle school." The fist Slyfer said, making Rose gasp.
"What's going on?" Bastion asked as he tried to see from behind Rose.
That's the last straw! Rose thought as stood up with rage in her eyes and walked toward the group of dueling failures.
"Oh great." Bastion murmured under his breath and followed his fellow dorm mate.
"I heard that she's so tight with Chancellor Sheppard that he allowed her to bring a motorcycle onto the island." Said Nick.
"I heard that rumors are bad, so you better stop spreading them." Said a voice.
The group turned around and saw Rose and bastion walking toward them.
"That's her, Rose Taylor." Marco whispered as he stared at her approaching form. The rest followed suit in the staring spree.
"Hello?" Rose asked waving a hand in front of Nick's face, "Are you guys in there?"
"A lot of people like gawking at you, don't they?" Bastion asked as her turned to he looked at her.
"Maybe I can wake them up." She replied and turned toward the Slyfers. "I guess everyone at the Ra Dorm was right. I guess I shouldn't hang around Slyfer sludge, except for Jaden Yuki, but he's proven his worthiness." She said as she crossed her arms across her chest.
The Slyfers came out of their trance and yelled back, "We're not sludge!"
"Sorry. I didn't mean that." Rose apologized with her hands in the air to show her surrender. "By the way, where is that bike that you guys were talking about?"
"It's at the docks." Nick said as he pointed toward the shore.
"Thanks. And by the way, those rumors are true. Just don't tell anyone." She said with a wink and headed toward the pier.
Marco turned to Bastion and said, "Misawa, you sure are lucky to have her for a girlfriend."
"What are you talking about? Rose isn't my girlfriend, she's my best friend." Bastion said with a surprised expression.
"Sure." The Slyfers said with a hint of sarcasm.
"That means she's still available!" Marco exclaimed.
"Marco!" the boys yelled at him.
Hope you liked it! R&R PLZ!!!
