Plot summary from chapter 6: Zane wakes up and the first thing he sees is Alexis. Atticus walks in and blurts out that Zane has feelings for Alexis. Alexis sends Atticus back to the hallway and speaks to Zane privately. Alexis tries to make sense of Zane and they end up in a small fight. Finally Zane manages to tell about his feelings to Alexis and they end up kissing. After the endearment Alexis left and Atticus stepped in the room managing to convince Zane to take a walk with him. At the walk Zane and Atticus met Jaden and Syrus. Jaden brings up Zanes graduation match and asks him about the opponent.
After the alchemy class Zane threw his schoolbag on his left shoulder and walked out of the classroom. He was recovering from his seizure in the hospital wing for two days and had five days free time. Today was his first day at school after the free week he got.
Zane planned to go to the library but realized he was followed. Those girls again, Zane thought. Zane rolled his eyes and decided to abandon his plans of peaceful reading. Instead he wanted to find some reasonable company.
He walked through the academy looking for Atticus or Alexis, nowhere. Jaden and Syrus, nowhere. After a while, Zane realized that his search was hopeless. "Where are they..." Zane said thoughtfully as he stopped in the middle of the road. At least he wasn't followed by the girls anymore.
Zane was standing near the blue dorm when he saw four freshmen walking towards him their eyes shining. At least there was not any girls that would jump right into his arms. "Hi Zane!" They all said one by one. Zane didn't usually say much, just nod and keep walking but this time he was tempted to ask their help. "Hi. Umm...Have you seen Atticus or Alexis?" All four of them looked stunned. Zane raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms since they all just stared at him jaws dropped. "Eh, well..." One of them started until he was interrupted by his friend. "They were heading to the beach to watch a duel," the tallest one said confidently. Others nodded confirming the information. "Thanks!" Zane said with an eager voice. He turned around and waved for goodbye. The group was left there with honoured smiles on their faces.
Zane was striding with his long legs, he was exited. Soon he arrived to the beach and saw his friends. Chazz was dueling against some Ra Yellow girl.
"So, what's this about?" Zane asked curiously as he silently moved on Alexis' side. "Zane! Where did you came so suddenly?" Syrus asked his eyes shining brightly. "Well, actually I was looking for you guys," Zane stated sassily. "Chazz is dueling against Ra yellow girl," Atticus spoke and answered to Zanes question. Alexis stood there silently watching Zanes side profile.
"She was mocking the Chazz!" All Ojamas shouted angrily in their swimming suits.
"Oh come on and focus you three!" Chazz shouted. "Yes boss!" Ojamas cried and prepared to do as Chazz ordered. "Now, attack that little dork!"
The duel continued for a while. Zane was -as usual- so concentrated that he didn't even notice how Alexis kept glancing at him.
"I sumon armed dragon level 10!" Chazz divulged proudly. Zane smirked and looked on his right side. He couldn't help it, he just kept staring at Alexis. Soon Alexis noticed that someone was staring at her and turned her head just to meet Zanes eyes. There they stood, staring at one another studying every inch of their faces. Suddenly a sharp scream reached in their ears.
"Aaaah!" the girl screamed when Chazz' dragon finished her off.
The scream was enough to snap Zane and Alexis out of their dream. Zane almost jumped when he heard it. Alexis actually jumped and let out a small sight.
"She lost," Alexis said confused. Zane looked really startled even though he tried to cover it. The others looked at them mouths wide open. Alexis was holding her hands on Zanes wrist.
"Don't worry about them, they're blinded by löve!" Atticus said teasingly. Jaden and Syrus smiled but Zane and Alexis wen't completely red.
Meanwhile Chazz was chatting with the Ra Yellow girl. He watched as the girl got up. "Next time you challenge The Chazz, be prepared!" he said with cocky smile on his face. "You bet I am. Hope we duel again soon," the girl said and gave a foxy smile as she confidently walked away. Chazz smirked and walked towards the group standing next to him. It was obvious that he flinched immediately as he saw Zane so close to Alexis.
"Well, did you like the duel Alexis?" Chazz asked sharply as he tried to look as cool as he could. Alexis moved her hands and acted like everything was normal. "It sure was a nice duel," Alexis said uncomfortably and rubbed her wrist with the other hand still standing very close to Zane. Despite the noticeable closeness between Alexis and Zane, Chazz looked very flattered and started to smile.
Zane couldn't take it anymore, he wanted to escape from the situation as quickly as he could. "Well dueled. Managed to bring that Armoured Dragon of yours on the field," Zane said quickly as he took a small sidestep away from Alexis pretending to fix the position of his schoolbag. Chazz looked at him with serious face and nodded even though he was still a bit annoyed by the closeness of Zane and his dear Alexis. Zane turned and walked away immediately after Chazz confirmed that he heard his comment about the duel.
"Actually, I need to talk to Zane about one thing. See you later!" Alexis said and ran after Zane leaving Chazz disappointed. "What's so special about him.." Chazz mumbled. "Umm...you're talking about Zane?" Syrus said sharply and continued, "Well, even though I got the looks, he's still handsome, good at sports, his grades are perfect and also... he's the top duelist of the whole academy." Jaden nodded for confirmation and scratched his nose.
"Hmph, whatever," Chazz answered grumpily. Suddenly Atticus placed his hand on Chazz' shoulder and smiled at him. "Don't worry Chazzaroo, we'll find you some nice girl since Alexis is now Zanes. Maybe you and that Ra Yellow girl would be a perfect match!" It left Chazz speechless. All four of them started to walk towards their dorms. Far ahead they saw Zane and Alexis walking and chatting together.
The sunset painted the sky with soft yellow colours. Alexis was laughing and the birds were chirpin. Cool breeze made Zanes hair flutter enhancing his happy and relaxed mood. Zane moved his hand on Alexis' waste and turned her face towards him now his both hands on her waste. Alexis looked up to him confused. "What are you doing tomorrow evening, beauty?" Zane asked with his low charming voice. "I don't know. Depends what you can offer," Alexis teased as she moved her hands on Zanes waste. Zane chuckled. "Well, how would you like some time together, just me and you?" "Sounds great. What time and where?" Alexis said as she moved even closer to Zane. "At 19 in my room, you now where it is, right?" Zane asked while his face turned from gentle smile into confused serious face. Alexis pressed her face in his chest hugging him tightly, "Silly, of course I now where your and Atticus' room is and besides..." she lifted her head up so she could see Zanes eyes, "We already met there if you don't remember." Alexis narrowed her eyes and smiled viciously trying to make Zane remember. "Don't quite recall," Zane said innocently. "Oh really...Let me help, you were actually quite surprised. Does shower ring any bells?" Zanes eyes wen't wide open and Alexis could feel how tens he wen't. "Had to remind me?"said awkwardly. Alexis laughed and hugged him then tightly.
God he smells so good, Alexis thought. Zane was standing still, he was embarrassed. After a moment he closed Alexis tightly into his embrace and pressed his cheek on her head closing his eyes.
"Well well. I thought I could walk to my dorm without seeing you two licking each others," Atticus said as he was right in front of them. Both of them loosened up their grip and looked annoyed.
"We weren't licking you idiot!" Alexis said sharply to his brother. "By the way, I wan't you to be out for the evening," Zane said dryly. "Oh right. Just for the evening? Are you sure you don't need the whole night? I mean, I don't want to get in while you two are having some fun." Alexis knew exactly what Atticus ment and therefore she marched right to Atticus and slapped him on back of his head, hardly. "Uu ou ou! Careful sister!" "Calm down you two!" Zane interrupted. "Just give us some time tomorrow okay?" "Sure Zaynie," Atticus said and smiled Alexis still looking tense. "Lets just get to our dorm now, I wan't to get some sleep," Alexis sighted relieved. "Sure you want," Atticus said without even looking Alexis, walking already his hands placed on back of his neck. Alexis was ready to kill but Zane got Atticus first. He pressed him playfully down with his weight and Atticus was fighting back.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Atticus said as he tried to resist. "Don't tease my girlfriend you dork," Zane said and laughed. They continued it for a while until Atticus got his grip on Zanes side and started to tickle him making him to fall down Atticus landing on him. "Now how do you like that!" Atticus said as he continued to tickle Zane who was madly laughing and kicking.
Did he said girlfriend, Alexis thought as she stood there still stunned. "Aaahhah, ple-hahah-stophahhah," Zane cried and started to sound powerless. Atticus stopped and laughed while he was sitting on top of Zane who was laying down his arms now covering his sides making sure that Atticus wouldn't attack again. "If I wasn't sure it could actually look like you're trying to steal my boyfriend Atti," Alexis said teasingly her hands on her waist. Both of the boys looked her surprised as they didn't even realize before that she was there. "Oh, don't worry sis. I've known Zane for far too long and I can tell that he would be the most boring boyfriend ever. Like come on, he couldn't even keep up with me and my busy bar life...and all the girls. It would make him jelaous," Atticus said and leaned closer to Zane, close enough to kiss him. Surprisingly he rubbed his nose against Zane few times and then quickly licked once the tip of Zanes nose leaving the bluenette horrified.
"What the hell! Get off you idiot!" Zane shouted angrily as he started to kick Atticus wildly aiming especially his groins. "Hey, careful. It's a very sensitive spot, you should know!" Atticus said hurtfully as he jumped off leaving angry Zane raging on the ground. Zane got up and wiped his nose with his hand giving the most disgusted face you could imagine. Alexis laughed loudly and hugged Zane from behind, "Glad to now that my brother couldn't seduce you. And...now I know that you'll protect me from that wicked brother of mine." Zane shook his head and caressed her hands holding him. "Okay I'm getting really sleepy so lets go! Although...maybe it would be safer if Zane would sleep with you since I'm quite sure that he'll strangle me while I'm sleeping." "You bet I will," Zane said sourly.
"Okay lets go and please Zane, don't kill him," Alexis laughed as she picked Zanes bag from the ground and handed it to him. "Fine," angry Zane said and glared at Atticus who was smiling gently. All three of them walked together-Alexis between the boys-as the evening was already getting darker and the birds were silent.
