*sighs* I suck, I know. This is so late and I'm very sorry for it. Well, I hope you enjoy.

Also, I upped a rating of the story due to the language used


Night had fallen upon Duel Academy, putting the whole island under a sheet of silence. Millions of stars shone high above the Earth, painting thousands of constellations across the inky blackness. All of the students were fast asleep in their beds, having peaceful dreams of whatever their subconscious had decided to conjure up.

Well, almost all of them….

It was about 2:15 in the morning, and Sammy was still awake. It wasn't that she was trying to pull in all-nighter - she hated those - Sammy just...couldn't fall asleep. The room had no air conditioning, so lowering the temperature was out. Warm milk almost always made her vomit, and her sleep schedule was already shit, so she was stuck in a perpetual hell of getting very little sleep.

Sammy had just been finally drifting off to sleep, when many footsteps and voices snapped her back to awareness.

"Come on man, we're late."

"This is gonna be so epic!"

"You better not wake those damn dogs!"

Sammy grew furious at the last sentence. The dogs in question were the two Doberman sleeping on Karley's bed; she had somehow managed to 'convince' the teachers and staff to allow them to keep the three pets they had with them.

"Cerberus, Titan," The brunette hissed in both fear and anger.

Cerberus - the all black Doberman with floppy ears - got up almost instantly and went to the door. Titan - the more standard-looking Doberman - took a moment, but soon went to the door and started growling.

Sammy silently crept up to the door, grabbed the handle, and swung it open. It was at that moment that someone blew an airhorn…..right in Sammy's face.

The brunette shrieked at the loud noise, while Karley woke up to the noise and promptly fell off her bed. Sammy's ears were still ringing when she saw Cerberus leap at the Obelisk Blue student, and sink his razor sharp teeth into the boy's arm.

"What the Hell!?" Karley demanded as Sammy's hearing returned as the blonde helped her best friend back to her feet. "It's almost 3 in the morning! What is wrong with you!?"

Cerberus released the poor student as his classmate cackled madly. "Get up bitches!" he shouted. "Your initiation is starting!"

There was a long moment of silence before anyone spoke up. "What?" Sammy demanded.

The student that had been bitten stuck his nose up, then roughly grabbed Sammy's arm. "Come on!" He then proceeded to drag her outside, Karley and the Dobermans not far behind.

Sammy officially decided that - not counting Karley - she only liked about three Obelisk Blue students all together. She also decided that the so-called 'initiation' was the dumbest thing ever.

The first thing the two girls had to do was swim three laps around the freezing cold lake by the Obelisk Blue Dorms. Sammy specifically hated it because….she couldn't really swim that well. Karley was already on her last lap, while Sammy hadn't even gotten in yet.

"Get in Glasses!" The same Obelisk Blue who Cerberus had bitten snapped, then shoved Sammy into the lake.

The ice-cold water was a violent shock to Sammy, causing her body to freeze almost instantly and sink. However, she soon felt herself be lifted slightly and moved around the lake. She quickly looked down, and was shocked to see a familiar serpent-like dragon the color of ice carrying her through the water.

"Brionac," She thought in surprise. "Did Karley ask you to help me out?"

The Ice Barrier dragon seemed to sense what she was thinking, as it turned its head to her and nodded. Sammy smiled warmly, glad to see that her and Karley's duel spirits would always be by her side.

Sammy was so tired she could fall asleep standing up. The final trial for that damn initiation was a seven person duel gauntlet, she had to win seven duels in a row. And so far she was doing terribly, only getting to three wins in a row before losing - she blamed the Goddamn sleep-deprivation. It did not help that Karley did her seven duels no problem.

Sammy was on her third person again, and had no facedowns, Toon World, and Toon Harpie Lady in Attack Mode with only 1000 Life Points left (she had borrowed Karley's Toon deck in the rush). Her opponent - he didn't bother to introduce himself - had nothing in his backrow, 1300 Life Points, and Alligator's Sword on the field. It was his turn.

"I draw!" The boy drew. "I sacrifice my Alligator's Sword to summon my Summoned Skull!"

ATK: 2500

"Now Summoned Skull, obliterate this wannabe Obelisk Blue! Lightning Strike!"

The skeletal monster roared, and launched a bolt of lightning at the Toon Harpie Lady, completely obliterating it and whipping out the last of Sammy's Life Points.

The brunette growled, then, finally reaching her breaking point, put the entire deck back into its proper place in the Dueldisk and began to walk away. She honestly didn't care if she was seen as a proper Obelisk Blue anymore by her fellow peers, she just wanted to stay in her room and be left alone until she could hopefully fall asleep at a good time that night and regain a sleep schedule.

The boy she had just dueled suddenly got in front of her with a pissed off look. "Hey Glasses," he snapped. "You lost, so you gotta try the gauntlet again if you wanna pass the initiation."

At that moment, Sammy completely snapped. "Go fuck yourself you bastard!" she snarled in his face.

Everyone went dead silent at the outburst, shocked that this small girl - she was as tall as Syrus at only 4'9" - knew how to swear at all. Well, Karley knew, she was a bit more surprised it took Sammy this long to snap.

"Hey!" Mindy stepped in, upset. "Watch your mouth! You gotta-"

"Put a sock in it you Transphobic bitch!" Sammy interrupted, whipping around to face her. "Why the fuck would I watch my mouth when I'm surrounded by entitled assholes!? Hell, out of EVERYONE here, there are only about three people here I actually like and want to be friends with. And that's not counting Karley!"

The boy from before snorted. "And who would they be?" he demanded, seeming to taunt her.

In an instant, Sammy pointed to where - conveniently - Karley, Alexis, Chazz and Zane were all standing. Chazz looked shocked, Karley's expression remained neutral, Alexis gave a somewhat sad smile, while Zane simply raised an eyebrow.

"They're probably the most decent Obelisks in the whole school," she paused. "Well, one of them treats their little brother like shit, but it's still better than how everyone else here treats the Slifer Reds!"

The boy was livid. "Do NOT mention those Sla-"

Sammy kicked him hard…..right between the legs. The boy instantly crumpled to the ground.

"I'm getting the fuck out of here," the brunette spat, turned back towards the direction she had been going. "See ya assholes."

With that, Sammy went back to her room, unaware someone was watching her.
