Chapter 3, The dorms.
Jaden and the other Slifer students followed Professor Banner who led them to the western edge of the island. Many of the students looked disappointed too be placed in Slifer red.
Looking at the others Jaden noticed one boy trailing behind with his head down, this boy had turquoise hair and wore glasses and was at least a foot shorter than everyone else.
Jaden walked over to speak to him "Yo what'ya doing all the way over here by yourself" Jaden asked, the boy looked as if he was too afraid to answer "I just don't want to bother anyone" he said nervously "I'm sure you're not gana bother anyone, what's your name anyway" the boy seemed amazed that someone would want to know his name "Oh, I, I'm Syrus, Syrus Tr, err just Syrus".
Jaden smiled "Well just Syrus consider me your first friend" he said holding out his hand for a handshake Syrus took it with a shacking hand.
"Ok guys we're here" they heard Professor Banner say, the whole group looked pasted Banner and was shocked at what they saw. The red dorm was a small two floor building with as many rooms cramped together as possible.
Banner called everyone's attention "Right then boys are on top, girls are on the bottom, hurry now you don't want to miss the welcome feast" he said pointing them too an even smaller building next to the red dorm.
Everyone rushed inside only to find bowls of white rice siting on the table, one girl looked outraged "Professor Banner you can't expect us too" but she stopped abruptly when she saw Banner had disappeared.
More disappointed than ever everyone sat down and ate their mediocre meal. When they was finished Banner reappeared too give them their room numbers everyone looked angry but no one had the strength to argue.
Jaden and Syrus was in the same room, when they got there they found a large boy who resembled a koala with a big nose already inside "Oh you two must be my new roommates, I'm Chumley Huffington nice to meet you" he said. "Hi I'm Jaden and this is Syrus, so where can we put our stuff" Jaden said with a smile.
Chumley looked around "I suppose where ever you can" he said. The room was small and cramped, there was a triple bunk bed and a desk that was taking most of the room. Jaden and Syrus both know that life at duel academe was not going to be as easy as they thought.
Bastion walked with the other Ra students heading south. On his way to the dorm Bastion couldn't help thinking "What could I have done wrong, did I get some questions wrong, I must of done something wrong or else I would be in blue".
Bastion was brought out of his thoughts when the group stopped walking, "Ok Ra's this is the dorm you will be staying" said Sartyr to the group. Everyone looked pasted Sartyr to see their dorm.
The yellow dorm was a large two floor building in the shape of a L, with a slightly smaller building next to it for dining. "Now we must hurry the welcoming fest is about to begin" said Sartyr filled with joy.
Inside the dining area was several long tables filled with all sorts of different foods some of which Bastion had never seen before let alone tasted. All the students settled in and chose their favourite food from the table.
When everyone was filled and satisfied Sartyr handed everyone the keys to their rooms. Bastion entered his room and was impressed with what he saw. The room was as big as the average bedroom with a single bed, a wardrobe, several shelves and a desk.
Bastion started to put his things away thinking "I wonder if all the students get rooms as nice as this".
The Obelisk blue's followed Dr Crowler to the east. Alexis walked with two other girls their names was Mindy and Jasmine, the three had been friends since middle school, Mindy had black hair, brown eyes and was slightly shorter than the other two, while Jasmine had red hair and grey eyes.
Alexis did love her friends but they could be overprotective of her at times, Mindy was often getting lovestruck and having crushers on the most attractive boys she could find before losing interest and moving on to the next, Jasmine on the other hand hated the idea of the friends being separated and worked hard to keep boys away from Alexis and Mindy, Alexis had never cared for a boyfriend since she was always too busy studying though she was always happy to make new friends.
Dr Crowler stopped the group and began to speak "As some of you will know Obelisk blue is the only group with separate dorms for boys and girls, so think yourselves lucky, before we reach ether dorm I want to make one rule very clear, boys and girls are not permitted to enter each other's dorms unless invited by another student is that understood".
The whole group replied with ether "Yes", "Understood" or "Ok", Crowler seemed pleased "Good, now follow me", as they followed Crowler Jasmine spoke to her friends "Who in their right mind would want to invite a boy over", Mindy stepped in "Well maybe if he's really cute" she said, Jasmine looked annoyed "You can't trust boys their only interested in one thing" she said back to Mindy sternly.
Soon they reached their destination "Ok girls this is your dorm, Miss Fontaine will be along shortly to give you your room keys, until then please enjoy the feast" said Crowler as he led the boys away.
Alexis was amazed the dorm building looked like a fairy-tale princess palace with tall towers and a moat filled with crystal clear water surrounding it with a white stone bridge, the inside was even more beautiful with a giant diamond chandelier and a crystal staircase leading to the upper floors.
Going through a large doorway there was a dining hall with long tables with white table cloths, laid out neatly was silver cutlery and menus, standing next to the tables was several waiters.
Sitting down and opening her menu Alexis saw that they contained every food imaginal from the common and casual, all the way up to the fancy and expensive, the girls chose their meals and the waiters disappeared into a door leading to the kitchen then returned minutes later with everyone's chosen meals.
Everyone happily started their meals when they was done the waiters took their plates to the kitchen, Miss Fontaine arrived at that moment and addressed too everyone "Ok girls I hope you enjoyed your dinner, now I would like to give you all your room keys" as she said these words she placed a metal suitcase on the table.
Miss Fontaine handed a key from the suitcase to each of the girls. Alexis took her key and headed to her room, inside she saw her room was glamorous. The room was bigger than any room in a standard house, there was a queen size bed, a giant wardrobe and there was a door leading to her own personal bathroom.
Alexis put her bags next to the wardrobe and opened a glass door leading to a balcony, stepping out Alexis saw it was already dark not far away Alexis could see a large building she thought must be the boys dorm.
After leaving the girls at their dorm the boys followed Dr Crowler further east, soon they reached their own dorm. The boys dorm was like a kings castle made of white stone with a tower at each corner, the door was large and made of wood panted blue.
Inside there was a marble staircase and diamond chandlers, there was one doorway leading to the dining room that Crowler led them through. The boys dining room was much like the girls except one table was longer with a gold char overlooking the rest.
Dr Crowler sat in the gold char and the students took their seats, Chazz sat as close to Crowler as possible. Everyone chose their meals and when the waiters brought them their food they started eating.
When everyone was done and the plates was removed Crowler spoke to everyone "Now then everyone step forward to receive your room keys" he said pulling a metal suitcase from under the table.
Chazz was first to receive his key, when Robin took his key Crowler had a look of hatred in his eyes Robin pretended not to notice and headed to his room, inside was like Alexis's room with a large bed, wardrobe, personal bathroom and balcony.
Robin placed his bags on the bed and started to unpack, other than his clothes and duelling deck Robin hadn't brought many personal possessions. The last thing he pulled out was a small black metal box.
Robin looked at this box with both sadness and hatred in his eyes "I wish I could destroy you, but since that's impossible I can at least keep you out of the hands of others" he thought as he placed the box under his bed then covered it with his now empty bag.
