Flora came downstairs in her school uniform to see Helia looking through a deck of cards he had in his hands. He had on a blue pants along with a white undershirt and a long shelved blue shirt along with white socks and blue shoes and a brown two strap bag.

"Hey, see you're ready for school." Flora said. "Nervous?"

"A little." He parted from his deck. "At least I will have you in majority of my classes."

"You will make friends in no time." Flora reassured him. "Besides its only one class we don't have together."

Instead of Art Flora had Social Studies.

"You ready to leave?" He checked the time to see it was after 7 a.m. and school started 7:30.

"Soon." Wrapping his arms around her waist he gave Flora a passionate kiss which she gladly returned. Ever since the first day they kiss the pair decided to take it slow and see how far their relationship can go. So far they only kissed and held hands as a sign of affection.

Flora hugged his neck as it became more heated. Helia wanted to take his girlfriend then and there but had to control himself. He respected Flora too much to do that.

Separating from each other the couple headed to school before the gate closed on them.


Heading into their first class of the day and some of the girls immediately had hearts in their eyes for Helia.

A girl with long white hair and blue eyes came over to him. "Hey cutie. Icy is the name. What's yours?"

None of your business. That's what Flora wanted to say but kept her mouth shut. She did not want to come off as the jealous type.

Helia wanted to be nice even though he got a bad vibe from her. "My name is Helia."

"That's such an exotic name." A girl with lavender hair came over. "My name is Krystal. Where are you from, cutie?"

Flora walked to her seat leaving Helia with the girls.

"I better take my seat." He saw Flora leave.

He took a seat beside Flora, the other girls were disappointed.

The bell chimed around the school. Everyone took a seat before a woman with shoulder length brunette, fair skin and had on a long blue and white dress and reading glasses.

"Hello class. Welcome to another wonderful French class." Ms Griselda said. Glancing over to Helia said continued. "We have a new student in the class. Please introduce yourself."

He stood up. "My name is Helia Knightly. I am nineteen and was born in Domino before spending most of my life in Egypt. I returned to Domino recently to live with my Grandfather."

The girls expect Flora were lusting after him.

The teacher asked. "Do you by chance know a Saladin Knightly?"

"Yes, he is my Grandfather."

Griselda gasped. She and Saladin dated for a short period. The met a few years after his son and daughter in law's death.

She had heard rumours from the office of a younger, fitter version of Saladin but didn't believe it till now.

"Okay, you may have a seat." She ordered.

Helia took his seat before taking out his books and a pen.


Two hours elapsed before class was over. Helia and Flora walked into the hallway discussing the lesson. Helia had some catching up to do but seem to have caught on to most of what was taught in class.

Seeing the girls from class following them Helia took a hold of his girlfriend's hand before rushing into the canteen which was in front of them.

Entering he heard someone call out Flora's name. The two looked to see a group consisting of five boys and five girls. They were at the back of the room with two tables joined together.

"Remember the group of friends I was telling you about?" Flora asked walking over to them.

"Yes, I do."

"Good, well that's them."

Once they reached Helia and Flora took a seat on the right.

"Hey Flora." Aisha said. "Hi new guy."

"Everyone." Flora cleared her throat. "This is Helia Knightly. He is Saladin's grandson and recently came here from Egypt."

"Didn't know he had a grandson." Brandon uttered.

"That makes all of us." Bloom added.

"Guys," Aisha stepped in. "There is a reason we weren't informed so let it go. It is more than likely a private reason."

Flora smiled. "Well Helia." She started to indicate her friends one by one in the order they were seated from them. ""This is Bloom, Aisha, Tecna, Musa Stella, Brandon, Riven, Timmy, Nabu and Sky. They are my closet friends."

"Guessing you're the reason why Flo was so busy over the weekend." Musa joked. "It's nice to meet you, Helia."

"It's nice to meet all of you." Helia kindly replied. He got a good feeling from them compared to some of the girls from the class.

For the rest of the lunch period they talked to get to know Helia a little better. The only thing he and Flora left out was how he really got here.


For the next three months Helia slowly became a part of the group. He became an excellent student as well as a great duellist. He had rapidly rose the duel monster's ranking till he reached the top ten in the overall duelist ranking. Helia joined the art club which didn't clash with his hours at the game shop.

What was most important to Helia which ranked above his mission to defeat the unknown evil was Flora, his Flower Princess. His feelings for her were clear and no one could deny the amount of love he had for her.

One day in Art class Helia was the only person that manage to finish his drawing of the most important person in his life while the others were struggling to finish theirs.

When the teacher stepped out Brandon, Sky, Nabu and Riven walked over to Helia as he was about to complete another drawing. This one was of a blue dragon.

"That looks like the Blue Eyes White Dragon." Brandon stated.

"Yeah, Grandpa has one in the shop. It is so valuable to him that he would not make me or Flora touch it." Helia responded.

"That's understandable." Riven said. "That card is very rare. Only four of those were ever made in the world."

"I would love to see that card." Nabu said. "Can you show it to us one day?"

"Sure." Helia answered, finishing the rest of his drawing.

The guys continued talking about the card not knowing that one of their classmates Roy was listening. 'The last Blue Eyes. Once I get that I will have all four of them.'

Packing up his stuff, he carefully slipped out, unnoticed.

Sky asked. "Helia, who did you draw as the most important person in your life?"

"Flora, without a doubt." Riven answered.

"Riven, stop teasing him." Nabu nudged him.

"Come on." Brandon added. "It's between his girlfriend or grandfather."

"Actually it's Flora." Helia didn't hesitate in answering. "Flora is very important to me."

"You sound like a whipped dog." Riven commented. "Have you two done it as yet?"

"Done what as yet?" Helia flipped the sheet to start another drawing.

"Have sex." Brandon explained. "Flora is one of the most skilful dancer in town since she is number one in all of the competition so far so she must be good in bed."

"Well…" Helia blushed.

"Let me guess. You two were close to doing it but something always comes up." Nabu stated.

Helia didn't answer.

"That means a yes." Brandon answered for him before the teacher came back into the class.


Meanwhile in the Dance Room

Flora was dancing along with the girls. After spending about ten minutes practicing they stopped to take a break."

"Flora, you and Helia seem really close." Stella started. "It's hard to believe you two started going out two months and a couple days ago."

"I am just happy you found a guy that loves you." Aisha commented. "You two make a great couple."

"Thanks guys. Helia is really important to me."

"So have you guys done the deed as yet?" Musa asked. "It should be easy with the both of you living in the same house."

"No, we haven't and it isn't." Flora answered. "With school and work we don't have time for that and when we have free time the two of us are tried so we would stay in one of our rooms and talk before falling asleep."

"That's bad." Bloom said.

"Not really." Flora responded. "At least we know the relationship isn't based on lust."

Continuing to talk for a while longer the girls discussed the newest couple in the group before going back to dancing.
