Chapter 11: A feeling deep in my heart, my secret story about my past pt. 3
It was the next week over Domino city with another grey and gloomy morning over the large metropolis, traffic was busier than usual as it was a Friday morning. On a familiar bus Jaden was heading to school, he had been the bus for about 10 minutes. The bus was coming up to the stop by Jesse's apartment where his friend was going to meet him on the bus.
Despite the short amount of time they spent together Jaden and Jesse had connected on whole another level, it was so strange how close they had gotten, but the two were official the best of friends. Just then the bus approached Jesse's bus stop where the teal haired teen was waiting. The bus stopped beside him as the doors opened as he stepped onto the bus.
"Hey Jesse over here!'' Jaden called over as Jesse spotted him smiling as went to where his friend was sitting as he sat down beside him as the two clasped their hands in a silent way of greeting each other
"Hey Jay, I'm really surprised that you were able to make it and this time?'' Jesse said to Jaden as it was just after 6:45am a good whole hour or so before school even started
"Yeah, I can't believe you convinced me to out at this time... Usually I'm still asleep'' Jaden said laughing slightly as he then yawned as Jesse smiled at him
"Well you did say you usually don't have enough time for breakfast... Since the school does do a breakfast before the first bell I figured we could go, besides Alexis and others are gonna be there'' Jesse said as Jaden nodded in agreement as he looked out the window as the bus drove done the long road
"Unfortunately Blair will be there... I was really hoping that I won't have to deal with her'' Jaden whined as the image of Blair crept into his head as he shivered with slight fear
"Relax Jay, you'll just have to tough it out for now... Maybe you'll get lucky and she won't be there, or you can just hide or something'' Jesse said as Jaden chuckled at his friend statement
(Meanwhile at the school's cafeteria)
Inside the school's large cafeteria facility Alexis, Roxanne, Jade, Syrus, Zane and Atticus were eating a breakfast provided by the school. As Jesse had said earlier the school does a daily breakfast for all the students between 6:30 to 7:50, the friends were waiting for Jaden and Jesse to arrive.
Alexis, Roxanne and Syrus were sitting around a table while Zane, Jade and Atticus were in queue with some other students getting their breakfast. The cafeteria was only filled with a handful or two of students, including Blair, Victoria and their group, this would unfortunate for Jaden.
"Yeah, but I still can't get over the way Jaden puts his face when Blair's around... It's so hilarious, he says he doesn't fear anything but when she pops up, he jumps out of his skin'' Atticus said making of Jaden's fear as he had been having a conversation with Zane and Jade
"Don't be mean Atticus, I kinda feel sorry for Blair... It's like she's in her own little world when it comes to Jaden... Remember that girl last year who Jaden asked out...'' Jade said as Atticus thought about this girl she was referring to then it came to him
"Oh yeah, I remember that... Blair went ballistic! She totally attacked that girl, she kept shouting: Jaden's my boyfriend'' Atticus said with a sudden burst of laughter
"That girl has some major issues...'' Zane said in a disapproving tone, just then Atticus gave his friend a funny look, and then placed his hand on his shoulder
"If I recall Zane... Wasn't it you that Blair was obsessive with the first time she started here at Domino High'' the dark brown hair teen said as Zane's eye twitched
"Yeah, she even broke into your locker once, she stole some of your clothes and rubbed your deck against her face'' Atticus said laughing as Zane sighed with annoyance
Atticus continued to make jokes about Zane's past issues with Blair and Jaden's currently dilemma with the obsessive girl, as the three of them returned to their table. The six friends ate their breakfast and talked amongst each other, while Roxanne was passing glares towards Victoria.
Just then the door in the cafeteria were pushed opened as Jaden and Jesse had entered the large room, Syrus notice his friend as he shot up from his chair waving at Jaden and Jesse who saw him. Jaden smiled at his friends has he waved at them as he and Jesse went over to get some breakfast before joining their friends.
"Good morning everyone'' Jesse said greeting his new friends as they were all sat round the table together with smiling faces
"Hey guys, how's it hanging?'' Jaden added as they dug into to their food, the girls slightly giggled at the fact that Jesse was so polite
"Oh you know, the usual Jay... Atticus making fun of you and my big brother, Roxanne glaring at Victoria..." Syrus stated as Jaden chuckled while eating his food
"So what's on the agenda for everyone today?'' Jade asked with a book in one hand and a fork in the other opening the general conversation for everyone
"Well I think Jaden, Jesse, Syrus, Chazz and I have chemistry and mathematics first...'' Alexis said pulling out her timetable from her looking through it
"Right then we have P.E last on my timetable... I think that we all have that last'' Jade said reading her timetable as well as everyone's timetable stated P.E as there last period
"So I guessing there's a possibility will be trying out the new swimming pool'' Syrus said as there was a chance the students could try out the indoor pool added to the school's sports facility
"Could be Syrus, but since it's the first week and we weren't told, so it will probably be something else'' Jade said in response to Syrus's statement, suddenly Jaden let a loud belch
"Ah man I'm I stuffed... That was so good, I couldn't eat another bite...'' Jaden said with a huge grin laying back on his chair as he got smiles and laughter from the guys and the girls simply glared at him
"Jaden, what the hell! That was so nasty!'' Alexis said with a disapproving look while Jaden simply smiled at her displeasure as all the guys continued to laugh
The group of friends continued to make jokes and have good times, eventually after they finished their breakfast, the first bell rang for the first period of the day. Jaden and the others had met up with their Bastion, Chazz and Hassleberry as they proceeded to their first class.
Later on after that the bell rang indicating break in which Jaden and the others headed outside the school's grounds for the daily duels. Soon after it was time for second period, Jaden and others had maths much to the brunette's dismay but he got through it in the end.
Then it was Jaden's second favourite time of the day... Lunch! After a good meal and some more duelling, the bell rang once again for the last period for the gang it was P.E. Eventually it was the end of the day as the final bell rang throughout the school as everyone rushed out of school.
Jaden and Jesse were walking out the school grounds and down the road, the others had left already as they were planning to meet Jaden and Jesse later on. They were heading over the Jaden's because Yubel was anxious to meet his new friend properly, due to the fact that Jaden spoke about him a lot.
"So your sister said she wanted to meet me? Well I'd like to meet your sister'' the teal hair teen said to his friend who had a nervous look on his face
"You say that now... But trust me after you meet Yubel, you'll see how much of pain she can be'' Jaden said with annoyance when Jesse gently elbowed him
"Jay, don't say that about your sister... It's natural that siblings sometimes argue, but don't call her a pain'' Jesse told his friend with chuckled at his statement
"Yeah... Don't get me wrong I love Yubel with all my heart, but most of the time she just gets on my nerves'' the brunette added as Jesse smiled at him
"Well I'm sure that's how she must feel about you Jay, she loves you but you get on her nerves'' Jesse said as Jaden nodded in agreement with him
"I guess so...'' Jaden said as he was now looking at the high sky as he and Jesse walked side by side down the road, just then Jesse thought about something and looked at Jaden
"Hey what about your parents Jaden, what are they like?'' Jesse asked as Jaden looked at him with dumbfounded look and then his expression went sad, all this time and he hadn't mentioned his parents
"Oh, my parents? There... There away... They... They've been gone for a while'' Jaden said as his bright expression had become a depressed one as Jesse looked worried
"Jaden are you okay? What's wrong?'' the teal hair boy asked him as Jaden looked at him and suddenly snapped out of his daze and gave him a huge grin
"Who me? Ah nothing's wrong with me buddy, I just got thinking about something'' Jaden said rubbing the back on his head as Jesse smiled at him as they continued to walk down the road
The two continued to make small talk as they reached the bus stop, waited and got on bus heading over to Jaden's place. About 10 minutes later, they had gotten off the usual stop for Jaden, walking down another short road before finally coming up to Jaden's house. The two walked up to the door as Jaden took out his keys to unlock the door and enter the house, they walked in as Jaden closed the door behind.
"Well here's home for me... Welcome'' Jaden said as Jesse looked around the interior of the house before he and Jaden took off their shoes and jacket leaving by coat and shoes rack
"It looks really nice here... This is much bigger than our place'' Jesse said looking around as Jaden led into the living room as he took a seat on the sofa as Jaden stood in the doorway
"Hey Yubel I'm home! I've brought my friend Jesse with me!'' Jaden shouted down the hall hoping to get Yubel's attention who was upstairs in her room
"Oh alright, I'll be down in a minute Jay'' she shouted from upstairs as her footsteps could be heard as she made her way down the stairs coming into the doorway
"Jesse... This is my sister Yubel! Yubel this is my pal Jesse'' Jaden said introducing the two to each other as Jesse sat up and shook the older girl's hand
"Good evening Yubel, it's a pleasure to meet you'' Jesse said in his usual upbeat and pleasant tone as Yubel smiled at him as she shook his hand
"No, no, the pleasure's all mine. It's truly a pleasure to meet you, Jaden has been talking about you non-stop all week'' Yubel said as Jesse eyes slightly widen as he looked at Jaden who grinned
"Well I've heard a lot about you from Jaden and the others, you're really pretty you know'' Jesse said as Yubel and Jaden's eyes slightly widen and then the woman started to blush with embarrassment
"Oh my gosh Jaden, you didn't tell your friend had such good manners, and he was such a charmer!'' Yubel said with one hand on her cheek
"Well I'll you both while I get started on dinner, I hope you can stay for dinner Jesse'' the purple haired woman said as she left for the kitchen as Jesse popped his head through the doorway
"Oh that sounds great, I was gonna stay until 8 so yes please'' Jesse said with a faint smile as Jaden looked at his friend, he focused on the unique smile on Jesse's face, there was something about him
"So... Are we gonna do now Jay?'' Jesse asked his friend as he turned to see Jaden just staring at him as the brunette snapped out of his little trance
"Hey, what are you staring at?'' Jesse asked Jaden who blushed slightly using one of his finger to gently stroke his cheek with eyes looking in another direction
"Oh, nothing... I was just daydream, sorry if I was staring at you'' Jaden said as his friend chuckled at him as Jaden suddenly remembered something
"Hey, I've got of my Neos hero cards upstairs in my room, I'll get those so we can duel!'' Jaden said as he and Jesse headed up the stairs while Yubel started the preparations on dinner
The two were upstairs as Jaden opened the door to his as he and Jesse went into the room, the teal haired teen looked around at Jaden's room examining it. He noticed the poster of the elemental heroes duel monsters that Jaden carried in his deck. Just then he noticed Jaden had a double bed and then he grinned as he slightly elbowed the brunette who looked confused.
"Hey whatcha do that for?'' Jaden asked holding his arm in slight pain as Jesse continued to smirk at his friend as he went over to the double bed
"So I take it despite Blair's annoyance, your real lady's man... I take it this double bed more than just extra space'' Jesse asked Jaden raising his eyebrows as Jaden suddenly realised what he meant
"Oh, no, no, no, it's not what you think Jesse... I haven't had any girls up here... Besides I haven't you know... Done that'' Jaden said sitting down on his bed as he felt a little embarrassed and humiliated by this
"To be honest even if Blair doesn't get in the way... My relationships don't really last'' Jaden said as he was a bit depressed as Jesse saw the look on his face
"Oh Jay I'm sorry I wasn't making fun of you or anything'' Jesse said as he sat down next to his friend as Jaden smiled at him and then laid back on his bed
"Ah don't worry, to be honest it doesn't really bother me that much... So what about you?'' the brunette asked his friend whose bright face suddenly went plain
"Come on don't be shy Jesse... The way you are, I bet you've had a lot of girls chasing after you, probably had a good amount of girlfriends'' Jaden said laughing as Jesse had the same expression Jaden had earlier
"Jaden... There's something... I was kinda hoping... Can you sit up please this is important'' Jesse said in a slightly depressed manner as Jaden looked a little worried as he sat up
"What is it? What's wrong buddy?'' Jaden asked as he had a worried look as Jesse turned to look at him as there was a moment of silence between them
"I wanted to you this the other week, you know when we were at the cafe... But I didn't know how to tell you or how'd you react'' Jesse said as he sighed while Jaden looked at him
"How I'd react to what...? You can tell me you know'' Jaden said as he placed his hand on Jesse's shoulder as the teal haired teen's emerald eyes met Jaden's chocolate eyes
"The thing is I did used to date girls till about 2 years ago... When I met someone, it was love at first sight'' Jesse said as he paused as Jaden was still confused
"I don't quite get it so you meet the girl of your dreams, did something happen between you and her...'' Jaden was about to finish when Jesse cut him off
"Not her... Him'' Jesse said as he buried his head in his arms as Jaden eyes widen as he realised what he slowly took his hand off Jesse's shoulder as there was complete silence between them
"Him as in a guy...? Jesse, are you telling me... That you're...'' Jaden said as he could even say it as Jesse let out one big sigh as he looked at his friend
"Gay... Yes Jaden... I'm gay, I was in love with another guy and we had a relationship'' Jesse said with his eyes closed as Jaden was still in bit of shock as he gave Jesse shocked look
"Please don't look at me like that Jay...'' Jesse asked his friend who remained silent as they was complete silence between for a good two minutes when the teal hair suddenly got up
"I think I should go, I'm sorry for telling you that, I should've just left it'' Jesse as he suddenly got up and headed for the door with Jaden getting up and stopping him
"Hey, hey, hey, wait stop... Don't go Jesse, just wait... I didn't mean to stay silent'' the brunette said as he had grabbed Jesse's arm stopping him for going as the boy slowly turned his head to look at him
"I wanna hear more about it... Were best friend after all right? It doesn't matter to me if your gay'' Jaden said as Jesse faintly smiled as his eyes started to get watery
"Really... You really mean that?'' Jesse asked him who nodded in response as Jesse suddenly hugged the brunette who looked shocked as his face went a little pink with blush as he heard Jesse slightly crying
"Hey its okay Jesse, now come on... We've an hour so let's... Let's talk'' Jaden as he put his arms around the boy as he suddenly a strange warm feeling in his chest as he held Jesse tighter
