Jacks' POV

I watched Krystal storm off to her class and shoved a book into my backpack. I hated seeing people alone, and it hit me that every day so far this year, Krystal had just said good bye right after the bell rang and started walking home, alone. I hadn't really given it much thought until just now.

"Hey Jacks, we still good?" Honda asked, walking up with the rest of the group.

"Yea, we're still good." I said as we all started walking to English.

"Why don't you invite your new boyfriend?" Yukio teased.

"You're askin' for a world of hurt." I threatened. It was an empty threat, and we both knew it. I may be more than willing to beat on Assly, but I don't do that to my friends. I looked over my shoulder to see Davan wave, a goofy lovesick smile on his face. I groaned inwardly. I've seen that look one too many times.

"Honda, could you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Need me to punch out a potential suitor?" Honda said, cracking his knuckles.

"Yes, and no. Just warn him." Honda nodded, not needing to ask whom. He and I were fairly close as cousins go. Every once in a while he would get a little too protective, but he always made sure I was safe. Whenever our families got together, our dad's arm wrestled while our mom's chattered like chipmunks. (Hee, chipmunks).

"Anzu, rematch at Dance Dance Revolution?" I said to her, waving bye to Yukio as he went a different way to Science.

"Must we?" She whined.

"You only hate it cause I beat you." I smirked.

"Wait," Allysa said, sounding shocked. "Ms. Big bad tomboy can dance?"

"Hey, I may have gotten most of my genes from my dad but I got my attitude from my mom." I explained walking into English. "Hello Mrs. Finch."

"Hello Dear Heart." Mrs. Finch, the teacher, replied. We all tried to cram into one table. It didn't work, so I ended up at a table with Allysa and Daniel.

"Allysa, can you sing?" I asked as we had a few minutes to kill before the tardy bell rang. Allysa nodded, and took out her CD player.

"Listen to this." I put on the headphones and listen to a small sweet voice sing "Castle on a Cloud" from Les Miserables.

"That you?"

"Yea. My mom made me do it. It's my whole family singing. My dad sang this part." She changed the song to "Who am I?"

"Who am I? Who am I? I'm Jean Valjean!"

"Eh, nothing special." I said handing back the headphones.

"Keep listening."

"Who am I?

"Well?" She smirked. I passed the headphones to Honda. I placed a hand over my heart, and sighed, fully melting on the inside.

"Who in the world is that!?" Honda cried, passing around the headphones. That was one heck of a voice.

"Kaiba." Allysa smirked as she put her CD player away. I just about died. Daniel's jaw hit the floor and I'm pretty sure Honda had a heart attack. He doesn't take surprises well.

"We so need him to come sing for us." Anzu said, forgetting herself for a second.

"Hon, you mad?" I asked, getting out of character, "We out him on a stage, let alone on my balcony within a mile of my dad and they will both flip out."

"Not if one plays Valjean and the other plays Javert." Daniel added.

"You know Les Mis?" Allysa asked, shooting him a confused look.

"Red the color of desire. Black the color of despair." Daniel sang. I clapped my hands and squealed.

"Wee! You can sing! We can do a scene from the Phantom of the Opera!" I said, being the person people only see on weekends. I got a couple of weird looks, but being me, I'm used to it.

"Stop with the character changes already Jacks. You're giving me a head ache." Honda said, holding his head.

"My mom was in the Phantom of the Opera." Daniel said, looking down at his work.

"My mom was in it too. She played the Phantom." Allysa added, taking out her work. I watch the chemistry between the two. And believe me, there was a lot of chemistry.

"You two are singing a duet." I concluded, taking out my paper, and getting to work.

Weirdo: If you guys put two and two together, I'll put it in the next chapter. (wink)
