"Speaking"
Thoughts
Chapter 9
Days have passed since that night between Jaden and Ruby, they were happier than ever. Syrus wasn't to pleased though, he was still upset with Jaden, he didn't know about what happened between the two love birds, and no one else did for that matter.
Syrus had been trying constantly to find a way to get Ruby away from Jaden, but his efforts were unsuccessful, and time was running out, the month was almost up and Syrus needed to do something about Jaden and Ruby.
Late that night Syrus was walking on his way to the Slifer dorms. As he approached the dorms he saw someone leaving them, but it was too dark out and he couldn't see who it was. He ran up closer to get a better look, and noticed that the mysterious stranger was Ruby. Syrus noticed her hair was messed up and her clothes were a little messed up as well, and she was blushing and giggling as she ran in the direction of the Obelisk dorms.
Syrus noticed Jaden was nowhere to be found, and thought that this was his chance. As she walked away from the dorms and into the woods, Syrus ran up behind her and surprise her.
"Hey Ruby!" Syrus said loud and excited.
"Eeek!" Ruby jumped and shrieked when she heard Syrus shout out a hello. "Oh, hi Sy, you scared me. What's up! Long time no chat." Ruby smiled warmly at him. Thank god it's Sy, I haven't talked to him in a while, Jaden keeps dragging me away every time Syrus says hi...I wonder why.
"Not too much." Syrus smiled back, glad that Jaden wasn't anywhere near them. "What are you doing out here at this time of night, it's late and really dark out. You could get lost or hurt." Syrus looked really serious and worried when he said this, he was glad they could talk but he didn't want her to get hurt.
"Oh…well…um…I was just…uh..." a big blush spread across her cheeks, and she smiled big. No one knew about what her and Jaden had been doing at each others dorm rooms.
"It's ok you don't have to tell me Ruby. So how have you been lately? Everything ok?" Syrus noticed the smile and blush, and realized it must have something to do with Jaden and he really didn't want to talk about him.
"Everything's been great, I've had a great time visiting my dad and meeting all of you, and me and Jaden are doing great, we've never been happier!" She smiled even more and blushed even more as she said this.
Syrus didn't say anything, he smiled big until she mentioned Jaden, he tried to smile, but as she said that his heart ached a little, and he began to get angry with Jaden again.
"I'm on my way back to my dorm room; I'm gonna go hit the hay. So, how about we talk again tomorrow morning, ok? Bye, Syrus." Ruby waved at him bye and began to walk off towards the Obelisk dorms again.
"Wait, Ruby….uh…why don't I walk you back to your dorm room. I wouldn't want you to get lost or hurt out there." Syrus had to admit it was late and they should go and get some sleep, but this was probably his only chance to talk to Ruby.
"Um…ok, let's go." Ruby turned and started walking with him up to the Obelisk dorms.
"Jaden it's late, I've got to go." Ruby said impatiently.
"I know, just let me get dressed and I walk you back." Jaden was hurrying to get his pants on while Ruby slipped her shirt on and grabbed her purse.
"Jaden I can't wait, besides some of the girls are getting suspicious. And we both agreed not to tell anyone about what we've been doing lately; we'd both get in serious trouble." Ruby was really impatient and annoyed now; she had to leave before she got in trouble.
"I know, I know! Just hold on!" Jaden was getting annoyed, he wanted to walk her back but she was getting on his nerves with all the complaining.
Ruby sighed annoyingly and started to stomp her foot impatiently. Jaden had just grabbed his shirt and slipped it on, he then grabbed his red blazer and threw it over his shoulder.
"Ok, now we can…" Jaden trailed off as he turned to talk to Ruby, but she was gone.
He sighed and dropped his blazer on the floor, then he scratched the back of his head. Well, she did have to go, and I was slowing her down. Oh well she should be fine, she knows her way around the island pretty well now. And I'd just slow her down on the way up there, and then we'd both be in trouble.
Jaden sat down on his bunk and laid back. He then turned his head and saw she left her bright red jacket behind. Jaden then got up and grabbed it, and ran for the door with it. It's freezing outside, she'll get sick out there! Man, how could she be so dense, I know she was in a hurry but getting in trouble isn't as bad as freezing to death! Maybe I can still catch her.
Jaden the ran out the door, and saw her down at the edge of the dorms, and she was talking with someone, he couldn't really see who she was talking too.
He got down to the bottom of the stairs and noticed it was Syrus, he glared angrily and Syrus. Jaden knew how Syrus felt about him and Ruby being together, and he knew Syrus would try something to get him out of the picture.
Jaden hid behind the staircase and watched them closely, but he couldn't hear a word of what they were saying. He then noticed they were walking towards the Obelisk dorms together. He knew he shouldn't, but something just didn't seem right, so he decided to follow them to the dorms.
It was a dead silence for a moment between Syrus and Ruby. It had been a few minutes and no one had said a word, they hadn't even looked at each other.
"Um…so…Ruby, why haven't we talked in awhile?" Syrus knew the answer to that question, but he just didn't want the dead silence to continue.
"Um…well, I'm not really sure. Things just keep coming up and I don't have the time to chat." Ruby wasn't entirely for sure about that either, she'd actually been wondering that for awhile now also. She liked talking to Syrus, he was nice and really sweet, but for some reason she was always pulled away to do something.
"Well, Jaden does have you always on the move, I mean when I got to talk to you, he's pulling you away to go somewhere or do something."
"Yea, I guess he does…" Why is he doing that, I don't understand. Syrus and I are friends but Jaden doesn't seem to understand that. I mean yea Syrus is cute and really sweet and nice, but I'm with Jaden. He must think that I'll leave him for Syrus, but he knows how I feel about Syrus. But...then how does Syrus feel about me?
Neither Ruby or Syrus said much since then, Ruby was starting to worry about Syrus having feelings for her. She was also worrying about what that would do to their friendship, Jaden's and Syrus' friendship and her relationship with Jaden.
"Brrr…." Ruby grabbed her arms and shook for the chill of the air. "It gets really cold out here at night."
"Um, here…" Syrus took off his blazer and handed it to Ruby for her to use. "It may be kinda small on you, I am pretty scrawny." Syrus blushed and started to scratch the back of his head.
Ruby took the blazer and threw it over her shoulders and clenched it close. It was warm, and it smelled of earth for some reason, she smiled and blushed a little. "Nah, you're not scrawny, and it fits fine." Ruby smiled warmly at him.
Syrus smiled back, with a light blush on his cheeks. He then started to shiver a little but tried hard to not let Ruby see. But she did despite his efforts, she then smiled and giggled. Syrus heard her giggle and laughed a little, "You know that looks pretty good on you."
"You think so, red isn't really my color." She smiled and struck a pose with the blazer on her, they both smiled and laughed a little.
They soon approached the Obelisk girls dorms. Ruby turned and smiled to Syrus, handed him his blazer, then gave him a friendly good night hug and waved good bye as she ran off towards the dorms. Syrus smiled warmly, hugged back, and waved back at her. And throughout their entire walk, and friendly goodbye, Jaden stood behind a tree watching them staring at those two. He was getting angry and starting to worry about Ruby and what all was going to happen between those two.
Jaden turned away and headed back to the dorms. The entire way back he began to think of what all he had seen and heard that night. He heard the entire conversation in the woods, and didn't like that Syrus started them talking about him. Man, what's Syrus doing! I know he has a crush on Ruby, and that Ruby doesn't like him like that...but I don't know, I guess I'm just worrying about nothing. Syrus couldn't get Ruby to love him back, she loves me. Doesn't she? AH! What's with me! Of course she does. Syrus has just got a stupid crush on her, it'll pass...won't it?
Jaden began to think of that night when Syrus hit him…he raised his hand to where he got hit, it didn't hurt that much anymore. But something else did….him and Syrus may have been friends for only a few months, but they were still good friends, and they let a girl come between them.
Flashback
"THIS!" Syrus shouted at him as he took his clenched fist and punched Jaden in the face as hard as he could, making Jaden stagger a bit to keep from falling. Syrus looked directly into his eyes with a look of pure anger that would make Kaiba look happy as a clown.
Jaden looked up at Syrus confused and pissed. "Syrus, w-what the hell did you do that for!"
Syrus walked up to Jaden, still glaring at him, and grabbed his shirt and pulled Jaden down so his eyes were at the same level as his own. "I know about you and Ruby. I saw it, and I don't like it. I liked Ruby before you, and in the end she'll be my girlfriend not yours, you piece of shit." Syrus didn't blink or scream when he said all this to Jaden. He kept his glare and the anger in his voice steady.
End of Flashback
Jaden could feel the sting of Syrus' punch, and could hear that angry voice of his again. He knew Syrus still liked her, and maybe Syrus wasn't exaggerating, maybe he really does love her.
Jaden looked up and realized he was in front of the Slifer dorms. He walked up to his room, and noticed Chumley on the top bunk arranging his deck.
"Oh, hey Jay, where you been?" Chumley knew the answer had to do something with Ruby, but he wanted to ask anyway just to tease Jaden.
"Huh? Oh, nowhere…just walking around." Jaden was kinda quiet, his mind was elsewhere still stuck on Ruby and Syrus.
"It wouldn't have been with Ruby by chance now would it?" Chumley grinned teasingly at Jaden. Every since those two started going out, he joked about it and made fun of them for it.
"Um…something like that."
Chumley stopped smiling and looked confused, by now Jaden would've either smiled big and laughed or have yelled that it wasn't his business. But instead Jaden just walked over to a chair and threw his jacket on it.
"So…um…what's that in your hand Jay?" Chumley said as he pointed at the white piece of cloth in Jaden's hand.
Jaden looked at his hand and sighed, it was Ruby's jacket, he forgot to give it to her. "It's nothing Chum, just go back to your deck, just pretend I'm not here." Jaden hid the white cloth behind his back and laid down on his bunk.
"Um, ok…consider yourself invisible." Chumley then turned back to his deck, he was still worried about Jaden, but figured that he needed sometime to himself.
Jaden pulled Ruby's jacket ontop of him, he held it close and could smell Ruby's perfume on it, he inhaled her fragrance, and then rolled over and fell asleep, holding her jacket close.
