Chapter 8: A hit on everyone
I stood there after my duels in my doorway, as I always did. It was unusually messy. I picked up and I sat on my bed. I had been hit before by attacks, but this was ridiculous. It was a 4000 point attack and ended the duel all at once. I was painful on the inside, I had no marks like that in a duel but I was sad and felt like I didn't put up a fight.
I walked around the school and without all the danger and excitement. I was bored. I sat there in class and just studied hour after out and I did all my work and I was sad.
Over the next few days, Jaden had gotten in a lot of trouble. I was the person that showed them that he was a good duelist. I was just as I had always been a trophy and the only difference was, Jaden didn't treat me like what I acted like. The made up many rumors and I sat and ignored. They also published an article in the Obelisk Daily, I didn't appreciate it but I didn't do anything.
Slifer Red Kind, Jaden Yuki, a Lucky Man :: A Slifer's Story
Jaden Yuki is such a lucky guy to have a girl like the Obelisk Blue Queen, Blue Butterfly Beauty, Alexis Rhodes. She is a prize all in her own. She's talented, beautiful, kind and the best girl that anyone could find anywhere. She is supportive, kind and caring. King Jaden is lucky to of at least had a chance with a girl like her, no Slifer has ever got to be with a girl like her. Nor will anyone after our king be able to get one! Jaden doesn't understand the kind of opertunity he was given the day that he paid attention to a Slifer like him, or any of us. We were lucky, while it lasted to have a beauty like her grace our presence when she was going out with one of our own. Jaden is a totally lucky guy! I'm sure he'd want a chance like that again, if he could. Who wouldn't? For more stuff on Miss. Butterfly Blue Beauty Alexis contact her on her blog site at is a True Obelisk Blue Beauty:: Ra Review
The beautiful blue butterfly Alexis Rhodes is now back to the sea, a new catch for any lucky guy. Who does she want? Is she even going to go back to dating Obelisks? Will she date another Slifer? Or a Ra? Could one of our own be next? Who could it be? Where do her true alliances lie? She spends her time with Syrus Truesdale, Zane Truesdale, Chazz Princeton, Atticus Rhodes, Molly Yuki, Bastian Misawa, Kari Kamiya, Lisa Penn, Mandy Hamaguchi, Jasmine Makita, TK Takaishi, and Jaden Yuki. The ratio being 3:2:3 with guys that she hangs with, so more than likely it would be an Obelisk or another Slifer. However there are some great duelists to be found in Slifer too, like Chazz Princeton for example. Alexis is the highest scoring freshman in the school, she ranks 2 and 4 in female to all school dueling ranks. Her personal life is a mystery however no one except family and high society members of Obelisk know and it's a secret but who knows what kind of real boys her parents will have for her now that she's free from the Slifer Slack-Off? Everyone is excited to know, we can't wait for the Queen of Blue to find a real King, not a Slifer King.
Alexis Rhodes dumps Jaden Yuki. They both take a hit :: Obelisk Daily
Our sources tell us that Obelisk Blue Queen Alexis Rhodes has dumped her wannebe Slifer Red boyfriend, Jaden Yuki. Most boys are more than happy to hear the news of their breakup. The Obelisk Blue girls are super glad that she's not disgracing them any further. However, facts are revealed that the Obelisk Blue Beauty hasn't said a word to anyone since the breakup. She has just sat down in a seat doing work to her heart's content while he is amazingly depressed. No one has ever seen the Slifer King this upset. His appetite is as petite as Alexis's is and everything seems to be down going. Jaden's not cheerful in the least and refuses to duel unless it's for a class. Everyone is celebrating Jaden's fall from popularity. No one would dare insult Jaden while Ms. Alexis Obelisk Queen was with him but now, he's open for torment. What has the school come to? I'm not sure but this is a hit on both sides of the school, popular are not, this is painful to deal with!
I had lost everything my seriousness and competitiveness in dueling, my honor and my dignity. I had to fix this, but how could I? I was banished. Then, I went online and checked my grades just as I thought; I had 110 in all my classes. All the extra work I had done in my classes had given me a great grade. I slacked slightly for a day so that my parents knew that I could be fair even with and without Jaden.
I called my dad "I'm so sorry I got an A-. So I raised it to a perfect A+. Now may I go back to being with my friends and I was allowed as long as I kept up an A or A+?" I pretty much begged.
I had heard things from Syrus. He said that Jaden had not admitted to it but he looked around for me a lot during his duels. I felt appreciated he said he was very hard to motivate when he got stuck in a tough situation. They wondered how I could motivate Jaden and do all the things I did. I laughed and said trust me it's hard. I had remembered that because of all the stuff I did I was sidestepping my duties.
I sat or stood by Jaden in his next duels. Everyone said he was much more excited in his duels. I really didn't motivate him I just supported him when things were going tough and plus most of his friends doubted him at some points in a duel. I tried my hardest to not.
I decided to through a party. I invited Atticus and Molly. "Hi Molly, Atticus, thanks for the input about Jaden. He's doing great in his duels and work he even passed his exams, and so did I, thanks for the extra time to study Atticus."
There plan was that since Jaden doubted himself he would lose his duels and his exam and get kicked out. I made sure he didn't do that by studying hard and telling Chazz, Bastian and Syrus to keep thinking Jaden can do it.
More Obelisk Blue students were spreading more rumors about Jaden and me. They were surprised with the news they got from the principal. He published a column; it was called "I'll expel you if…"
I have decided on behalf of some students to add video cameras around the school and I'll expel you if… Your dueling after 8pm, duel illegally, publish a column that doesn't ask the rumored there side, insults another student, bothers other students. I called this column my revenge on the rumor spreaders. Those who did it before had to write a rejection or re-write the story. I got my opinion on my article.
Alexis Rhodes says "I'm not dating Jaden yet. So how could I break up with him? I don't consider myself a trophy or award. I don't think I'm any better than any student here is. I don't follow the crowd in what they think of the Slifers or any thing else. Who decides what a true Obelisk Blue girl is? I'm not dating anyone and I don't date stuck-up Obelisk Blue boys."
Mandy and Jasmine apologized for all the uprisings and thought that I was very open to my opinions and I'm right. "I'm so smart, but not smarter than anyone else." I said they all laughed and the principal declared that the Obelisks couldn't have a paper for themselves. They got a whole school one. I was declared editor because of my fair and nice to all groups attitude. I published a column for myself called "What if…" each week it covered a different scene or problem. I liked my first article the best "What if we put all the Obelisks in the Slifer red dorm".
What if… we put all the Obelisks in the Slifers Dorm?
Most Obelisks are unfair to the Slifers and the RAs. If you pick on them, you aren't nice, which makes you a worse person. If they decided to judge dorms based upon attitudes, most Obelisks would be in the Slifer dorm and so would a few of the RAs. We aren't fair to each other, we have to understand the differences and understand them and if we did sort by the attitude we have toward other students in the school, most of the students would change there attitude drastically. That shows how important it is to us to be the top of the class. We all need to be fair to one another so we can all live equally.
note: this is made to help, not to hurt people's feelings.
Everyone except the Obelisks liked my article but it opened the eyes of the Obelisks and everyone to see the fact that, we may be different but we all have something in common.
This last week had been a hit on hit off week.
Obelisks- principal and my article Jaden and I- my father Slifers- article, some Slifers like to be considered dropouts.None of these was actually made to offend people just to help make things better but to make something good you have to start by solving the problem. I decided to write a diary entry:
Diary: I feel Jaden and I getting closer and depending more on one another. We are starting to feel pressured by our school and classmates. We keep getting in awkward situations. People are trying to date me and I'm not ready to date anyone that seriously yet. I can barely deal with those who like me I don't need people writing about that in a newspaper. I'm in love with Jaden and we can have fun together. The End.
I was busy over the next few days. It was almost Christmas and I had no clued what to get Jaden, Syrus, Atticus or Zane. I was bad at shopping for boys. This made sense since I was a girl and all. Chazz had not come back from his vacation and I missed him, and I sort of missed him. I also missed Kari, TK and Amy they had been so much help to find Atticus and I still had no clue how to get him memory back.
I decided to look in the phone book for her. She lived in a suburb area, Vestion7.1. I looked for Kamiya, Tai. He was Kari's older brother. I had been lucky she was listed.
Kamiya Hamlin 4-467-478-1870 ex.5264
Japanese had the same number of numbers but because she lived in an apartment, she had an extension. I called her mom picked up and she was surprise to hear a call from a girl at an academy on an island near the United States.
Kari hasn't been seen since she left to help from an evil outbreak near where I was. She promised to tell and we hanged up.
Then I remembered I still had to buy presents for everyone. I decided to ask Tony Bifilar, a Slifer like Jaden. He had no clue. I had no clue; I decided to ask everyone except those who I was giving presets too. They told me to get Jaden and Syrus videogames. I decided to get Bastian a mathematical calculator and PDA. I looked at my list:
1. Jaden Yuki- Video Game
2. Syrus Truesdale- Video Game
3. Zane Truesdale-
4. Bastian Misawa- PDA
I had no clue what to get Zane. He was more difficult. I was running low on time. I was leaving tonight and I couldn't decide what to get him. I called Chazz and he was stumped too. I walked over to Zane's dorm, and I wanted to talk to his friends, they had no clue, this was beginning to get too hard. I went and asked him. He told me I didn't have to get anything but I wanted too. He had no clue what he wanted I decided that I would think of it later before he left the academy.
I left everyone their presents in their dorms then I left on the boat back to Vilonia8.1. It was the same old same old. Dad asked how I was. Then Atticus called my PDA. "Hi Alexis I invited Molly over Christmas break tell Melissa make the bed in the guess room." I hanged up and told Melissa. Everyone was happy, Atticus was back and he had brought a girl home. I was so not happy.
