Hey everyone. I'd like to start by saying, anyone who was a bit creeped out by my last chapter, I don't care! Ok, it's just a story, live with it! …..Sorry about that. I had a bit to much chocolate from Easter. Anyways, enjoy.
Chapter 10.
Hassleberry and Syrus made their way through the forest heading towards the spot where they had seen the girls sunbaking. Syrus was trying to protect himself from the branches that Hassleberry had pushed back then let go of. Syrus ducked a branch then said to Hassleberry. "Hey Hassleberry, what do you think Chazz was doing with Jaden's stuff?" Hassleberry called back. "Who knows" he said "Chazz is weird and creepy, I think he might be in the Navy as well" Syrus ducked another branch. "Hassleberry, why are we running through the jungle, when we could have walked down the beach?" Hassleberry just replied. "Cause then the girls would have seen us coming, at least this way, we're under camouflage."
Hassleberry muttered something under his breath, he then stopped suddenly. Syrus couldn't stop in time and he crashed into Hassleberry and fell to the ground. "Why the hell did you stop?!" Hassleberry turned to him and put his finger to his lips to signal to Syrus to shut up. "Pipe down, son" he whispered loudly. Then parted the bushes ever so slightly to reveal the female Obelisk Blue students.
Syrus stood on tip toes to see over Hassleberry's shoulder. His eyes widened with delight. After a few moments Hassleberry turned to him and said. "Don't touch me". Syrus was confused. "I'm not" he replied, he then looked down and with a choked gasp, quickly stepped away from Hassleberry. Hassleberry turned to him and said in a dangerous tone. "That better not have been what I thought it was."
Syrus looked guilty, Hassleberry grinded his teeth and let out a growl. His pupils had narrowed to slits. Then he did the cruelest possible thing that anyone could have done. He grabbed Syrus by the collar and threw him out onto the beach, in front of the Obelisk Blue students.
Syrus landed face first in the sand and he quickly sat up, spitting out the sand that got into his mouth. He looked up to come face to legs with one of the girls. She was standing in front of him (with her bikini top on) and she looked pretty pissed. "What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked, her tone of voice was icy. Syrus tried to back away but the girl grabbed her bottle of sunscreen and threw it with deadly force.
The sunscreen hit Syrus right in the face and nearly broke his nose. By this time the other Obelisk girl had put her bikini top back on and joined her friend. Then they gave Syrus a good old fashioned beatdown. Hassleberry was chuckling evily to himself as he watched Syrus getting bashed. "Poor soldier" he said in a mock sad voice. "His bravery will not be forgotten." He looked at his watch. "Think I'll go and get me a dino-sized thickshake." He said, he started moving back the way he came through the jungle as Syrus' screams of pain echoed through the trees.

Jaden and Jesse were standing at the docks, next to the lighthouse. "…And that's pretty much what's happened, what do you think I should do Jesse?" Jaden asked. Jesse stared at the horizon and thought for a few moments. "Well, for starters, you may want to apologize to Alexis and Atticus. Cause they would have been affected the most by it." Jaden nodded sadly, his anger had scared Alexis away and Yubel's "helping hand" had landed Atticus in the campus hospital.
Jaden got his mobile and quickly dialed Alexis' number, he held the phone to his ear 'please pick up' he urged 'please, please pick up' After 10 rings Alexis voice answered "Alexis! It's me Jaden, look about Saturday…" He stopped and listened. "-can't answer the phone right now, please leave a message."
Jaden left a quick message and hung up. He turned to Jesse. "Well, guess I'll have to go and see her." Jaden turned and walked away. Jesse turned back to the horizon. 'From what you've just told me Jaden, I doubt she'd ever want to see you again' he thought.

Jaden had finally reached the female Obelisk Blue dormitory. There was a group of girls outside at the gate, talking about something that had happened earlier that day. Jaden approached them and they turned to face him. "Hey guys...uh…girls, is Alexis here? I'd like to see her." The girls regarded him suspiciously. "Why would Alexis want to see you?" the first girl said. "You broke her heart." Jaden went numb. "And anyway, guys aren't allowed in the girl's dorm." Said another girl.
"But Atticus is a guy and he can come into this dorm whenever he wants." Jaden said angrily. The girls looked at one another. "That's because he's so cute and dreamy." Said the first girl. Jaden sighed and turned and started walking away from the dorm. That's when he saw Alexis walking towards him, head hung, deep in thought.
Jaden raced up to her. "Hey Alexis" he said giving her a warm smile, "I'm glad I caught you. I really need to tell you something." Alexis didn't look pleased to see him. "Jaden, I don't care what you have to say. I don't want to talk to you." She started to move around him and continue on back to her dorm but Jaden grabbed her arm. "Alexis I'm really, really sorry-.." He broke off as Alexis smacked him hard in the face. Jaden stepped back, bringing his hand up to his cheek as he stared at her with shock.
"Jaden, I told you that I didn't care about what you had to say. Now leave me alone. I've already had to deal with Chazz, I don't want any empty words from you." She turned to leave and Jaden didn't try to stop her this time. He could only watch Alexis stormed back to her dorm as the sun slowly sunk behind the volcano.
End Chapter.
I felt a little sorry for Syrus when I wrote this chapter. But it gives me a bit more to write about. Hopefully next chapter I can finally write the ending that inspired me to write this story. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review.
