Chapter 2
After twenty minutes of running from classroom to classroom looking for his first class, he finally found it. He entered the class sweating and out of breath. He tried to creep down the steps quietly, but before he could get even to the third step . . .
"Ah, Mr. Realo thank you for finally joining us, first day and you have a detention," Crowler said with a hint of pleasure in his voice.
Ryan just sighed and just looked for the nearest seat to sit down in. He saw one next to a Slifer who was fast asleep. He sat down and just stared at the kid for a minute. He was drooling, snoring, and his hair was a mess.
"Today students we will be studying Rituals. The thing you should know about ritulas is the Ritua . . . Mr. Yuki wake up!" Crowler screamed at the top of his lungs.
The kid sitting next to Ryan darted his head up causing everyone in the class to laugh.
"Sorry Crowler, what I miss," the kid said yawning nonchalantly.
"That is Professor to you Jaden, and what you'll be missing is an hour of your after school time."
Jaden, why did that name seem so familiar to him, Ryan thought to himself.
"This bites," Jaden whispered to another kid sitting on his right. This had big, spiky green hair, wore glasses, and by the looks of his legs, really short.
"Not licious'," said another student from the next seat up. This kid was big, really big, and had a weird shaped nose, almost like . . . a koala.
"Anyway students as I was saying, Rituals . . ." and for the rest of the period Crowler drowned on and on, but Ryan couldn't concentrate over Jaden's snoring. This couldn't be the Jaden Yuki he had heard so much about, a Slifer Slacker, no way.
Lunch Time: Cafeteria
Ryan had gotten his lunch, but he had no where to sit. He had considered eating outside but then he would still be alone.
"Hey Ryan come sit down with us," Ryan heard a voice call out to him. Ryan turned to see Bastion sitting with Jaden, the kid with glasses, and the really big kid h had saw earlier. Ryan strode towards them, lucky he wouldn't be sitting alone.
"Hey guys," Ryan said.
"Ryan, this is Syrus Truesdale," Bastion said gesturing to the kid with the big hair and glasses. "And this is Chum-Li Huffington," Bastion said pointing to the large male sitting next to him. "And you've already met Jaden," Bastion said.
Ryan reached out and shook everyone's hand.
"So you're Jaden Yuki," Ryan said eyeing Jaden carefully once again." "I've heard a lot about you," he said.
"Well, I'm not one to brag," Jaden said unloading another huge grin on his face. "Oh hey Chazz, come sit with us," Jaden signaled to a kid in a black blazer, and a smug look on his face, but he just kept walking.
"I'm gonna get that guy one of these days," Jaden said disappointed.
"Why is that guy wearing a black blazer instead of the normal colors."
"No one understands Chazz Princeton," Syrus aid breaking his silence.
"The friendliest he ever was to us was when we battled the Shadow Riders," Bastion said sighing.
"Say what, you guys fought the Shadow Riders too, I thought they were just a myth," Ryan said excitedly.
"Jaden practically beat them all by himself," Bastion said.
"Wow," was all Ryan could muster up. Ryan was about to take a bite out of his pizza, when the most beuatiful creature he had ever seensat down at the table. She had long blonde hair, big beautiful eyes, perfect teeth, adorable face; all he could do was stare, and then she kissed Jaden! They stayed in that lip-lock for almost three minutes before the girl noticed Ryan staring at them.
"Oh sorry, didn't notice you there, Alexis Rhodes, and you are?" she said pulling away from Jaden.
Ryan tried to say something but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth, so he just kept staring at her beauty.
"Earth to Ryan hello, anyone there?" Jaden said snapping his fingers in front of hisface.
"I . . . I . . . I'm Ryan," Rayn finally stuttered.
"Youmust benew," Alexis said flipping her hair back, which just made Ryan stare even more.
"Well anyways, partySauturday night, you guys shoud come, see ya," Alexis said as she left the table.
Ryan stillstared at her while she left, until he finally registered what she had just said.
"Wait how do you guys throw parties?" Ryan said suspiciously.
"There is a lot you don't know abou Duel Academy," Jaden said as the bell rang.
