Chapter 4: first day
Dear diary,
Today was certainty one to remember.
Well not the lessons as they bored me to tears but what went on today would be never called boring. First of all I got to insult Dr. Crowler after he tried to make fun of this scrawny kid in Slifer Red. Poor kid got stage fright so I took him or is it her? Down a peg or two!
"Excuse me Dr. Crowler, but by even insulting Red aren't you insulting the king of games? I mean Yugi owned Slifer didn't he? So are you trying to suggest you're better then him? Quite honestly its quite petty to pick on the kid, I mean for a man or woman or whatever the hell you are to think your better the Yugi is pure ego is it not? Or are you just a hag anyway who has no sense of morality, ethics or common sense? Or to add to that; Hygiene!"
I think were the exact words. Anyway it was an instant jibe that made him/her explode like a lead balloon in anger. I'm used to people being angry at me so I took it in my stride but everyone else was cringing at the end of the rant. "Go and see Chancellor Sheppard Miss Collins and believe me this is a very serious matter. I'll have you suspended if it's the last thing I do!" she/he spat with relish before noticing my amused smirk and relaxed posture. I was a instant threat to her/his authority and he/she had to stamp it out. Evidently he/she could see that rants were not working and therefore resulted to shaming me. I just went 'Whatever' and calmly walked out with EVERY single pair of eyes on me. I felt a little ashamed for my actions of insulting him but that vanished when I remembered what he had done to earn such treatment. Anyway the whole thing gave me the chance to talk to Chancellor Sheppard about my identity and everything else. No doubt this was the best way to do it, as I had a valid excuse to see him now so as not to see suspicious.
Of course I knocked, I do have some manners! But evidently I wasn't alone with Sheppard to talk about this as he called me 'miss Collins' due to the fact that a student, I think her name was Jasmine or something, was sitting in his office at the time. "I trust you're settling in well on your first day at Duel Academy?" Chancellor Sheppard is certainly a character. I'll try and be brief but when I met him, I could sense something ... wise about him. He may be an old man with no hair to his name but he is not someone you want to duel. However this guy is the boss around here and a direct way to become more in control of this situation. I need to make him fear me in order to command his allegiance and I must do it quickly.
"I just got sent out of my lesson to see you Sheppard. So yes actually, I'm finding duel academy to be a brilliant experience!" Ok this is good, make him worry, make him fear about me. If I can be the Alpha here, I could use it to my advantage later on.
Ok, that was uncalled for but I was still fuming over the incident. I mean what gives her/him the right to insult her students and shame them in public? Then I get punished for it? Not happening in this century!
"We will finish this discussion later Jasmine but right now I really need to sort this out!" nice cover Sheppard I remembered thinking in that moment. And it was. I mean my words were a double edged sword in that it both sounded like scorn for the school of which he couldn't let happen as he would lose his job or to it sounded like the angry rant of a stuck up student. Clever yet utterly sly to the bone, that's me.
Anyway she went out of the office and the main man must of double checked to see that she was outside hearing distance as he suddenly changed his happy attitude to one of foreboding. I was his boss's daughter and I could certainly pull a few strings to make dad fire him if I was at least a little bit dissatisfied with my time here. "Right, so hello miss Kaiba! I hope you're settling in well?"
"The dorm is fine, not as luxurious as places I've lived in but it will do. The uniform was a little drab but I hope its ok that I fixed it a little, after all it wouldn't be any good for the daughter of one of the richest men in the world to go around like a complete slut would it? However I'm finding the teacher, I think, to be kind of a pain in the ass. First off he's rude, then there is the fact that I can't tell if he or she is a boy or a girl and lastly he just sent me out of class. I mean I don't want to sound like a snob but that could result in some backlash from daddy if he finds out and I certainly don't want to be the reason for any punishments he hands out because some teacher was rude to me!" I'm cool. Just say it. Not only have I managed to blackmail the headmaster of duel academy but I've just scored a home run for making Dr. Crowler's life a little more chaotic. No doubt Sheppard will tell him/her to lay of if he/she want's to keep his job. Score one to the Kaiba family please.
"That's ... informative to hear miss Kaiba. I'll make sure that treats you with a little bit more respect from now on, I promise. Oh and you'll be serving no punishment for today's little incident. I've been informed of the events and I'll smooth the entire thing out. Now if there anything that I can do to help out?" Oh, so he knows about that little incident does he? I suppose must of phoned him while I walked to his office in an attempt to make me look more of the culprit for it rather then him/her. Sly but I'm top dog and Sheppard won't even touch a hair on my head to try and correct me. Round 1 to me it seems.
"I could do with a copy of all of the files on the teacher's if you don't mind? It would be prudent to make sure that my father's money is spent accordingly and I would hate for any more of these little incidents to keep happening wouldn't you? Also can I make a quick phone call? Dad will be wanting to know of my findings so far ..." Of course I got the files and I snagged a quick phone call with dad as he came out of a business meeting with some Canadian guy and it was pretty short. We exchanged the normal things like how's school and hows business but that was really the jest of it. Sheppard even let me miss all of that day's lessons in order to let me chill out, but I suspect that it was really an attempt to seem like he was punishing me to everyone else. What do I care what he does though as long as he gives me the respect I deserve?
So what else happened today? Well I went for a jog around the island's perimeter and I scoped out the places I'd like to jump off. No not that sort of 'jump off', rather I'd like to cliff dive off which I have to say would be plenty sweet. A lot of good cliffs to do that but I have to check the bottoms in order to make sure they're safe and that there is no rocks hidden by the sea to break my neck on. Other then that, I did nothing of consequence.
However right now I'm more excited about a little duel action outside my window. Seems as if some guy is dueling the girl from the party and shes putting up a good fight. I got to talking with a few of the girls and they named the guy as Jaden Yuki but that's not the interesting part. See the little twerp that I stuck up for earlier 'accidentally' got caught on the grounds of the girl's dorm. How utterly mortifying for him! Right now, Alexis has Cyber Blader out but jaden has Thunder Giant out so we all know how this is going to go. After all, Thunder Giant's special ability is to destroy one monster on the field who's orginal ATK points are lower then Thunder giant's ATK points of 2400. With Cyber Blader's attack points being 2100 as an original value ... lets just say it isn't looking good for Alexis.
As I speak, I'm being proven correct with that remaining attack. Talk about making waves, Thunder Giant is making tidal waves outside. Impressive duel Jaden, but I've seen better.
That's all from me today, and I'll talk to you later.
