I got voted 'most likely to blow up something' in my freshman high school year.
MOVING ON! Welcome to chapter two! How the heck did you survive number one? (Tsks sadly) Poor soul…this one will be a little funnier! It's a bit late, but I wanted to make sure that I finished up my other story's chapter before I updated this one.
Don't worry people, for all of you rabid fangirls waiting for Chazz, while there will be a momentary delay on his arrival, or at least his appearance in a chapter where he'll get a significant part, he's doomed, yes doomed, to be a main character. To all you Chazz haters, he's going to face heck in a hamster ball. To all you Chazz lovers…he's somehow going to survive it. So yay for him…
Oh yeah, Kat's based on a friend from real life, who when I was attending a class, she instantly whirled around from the chair in front of me and stuck out her hand, asking me for my name. She kicks butt so hard, yet at the same time, she's a bit hyper. Let's see how she turns out in the story!
CHAPTER TWO
The Enemy of All Obelisks
Alexis actually had a relatively good night sleep, enjoying her nice bed with wicked-soft sheets and a wicked-soft mattress with her wickedly-soft headed cronies. The sound of the rain outside lulled her sufficiently to sleep, as well as the fact that the mob had successfully abandoned the scene of the would-be riot, deciding it was time for their after-meal tea and caviar.
"Oh boy. Card safety. Whee," said Alexis, walking toward the lecture hall while looking at her schedule, as students behind her screamed and writhed in pain at just how bizarre some of the classes were, one even attempting to jump out the window. "Just in case some homicidal maniac comes threatening to give me nasty paper cuts if I don't hand over my cash."
"ALEXIS FRIEND!" cheered Mindy and Jazmine, what Alexis recently learned were her soulless cronies names, despite how many times they insisted that she name then. Alexis was driven into a panic. She didn't want to have to spend all day with them, considering that earlier that day, they attacked a guy who cut her in the breakfast line, nearly slashing his jugular with their well manicured, freshly painted nails.
She didn't bother to be gentlewoman about it either. She just turned and ran.
"Gotta…lose them…in…the crowd…" she said, trying to fight and weave in all directions around the sea of bodies that were flooding through the hallways. "Gotta…getta…way…"
Finally, a wondrous break! For about twenty feet, Alexis had a clear, solid hallway to herself! If she could just run fast enough, she could turn a corner before another crowd came and lose the two!
She put on an extra bolt of speed, looking like a freight train running full speed down the halls, and she was about to turn the corner to freedom when-
BAM!
Alexis came in full, one-hundred percent contact with someone who was about to turn the corner of the hallway, the force of the blow so great, that Alexis was blown back, landing painfully on the ground behind her, as her books and the victim's were sprayed in all directions, landing with awkward thuds on the ground.
"Oh no! I'm sorry!" said Alexis, picking up some of the books that belonged to the person who got nailed. "I didn't mean to do that, I was just in a rush and-"
But the following sentence turned into a hack of horror, as Alexis was yanked off the ground by the back of her turtleneck collar, and brought to eye level by a very angry looking girl in a Ra Yellow uniform, who, to her surprise, was just as tall as her, if not a little taller, who's chocolate brown hair streamed wildly in fury as Alexis stared right into two piercing green eyes.
"So you think it's pretty cool to just run into people eh!" she said, as Alexis immediately was shut up by shock. "OH! I see! You think that just because you're a conforking Obelisk, yeh can just run into anyone you want to and expect to get away with it, huh?"
"NO! Th…that's not…" said Alexis, completely thrown aback by that statement, the events of last night suddenly flowing back into her mind.
"I hate your kind, you know that!" she yelled. "Acting so cocky and special! Half of your pathetic masses got in on nothing but cash and having not a single thought in you heads! Why if we were back in grade school, I'd line up a whole bunch of you, give you the worst wedgies of your lives, and run the underwear I yanked from your backsides through a shredder while you were still wearing them!"
"Look…we've had some sort of misunde-" Alexis started.
"I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, CHICKY-POO!" yelled the girl, shaking Alexis angrily. "Just because you're an Obelisk and I'm a Ra, I'm not going to bend back on my rear and beg for your forgiveness just for breathing on you stupid blue uniform! I'M NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST-you picked up my books for me!"
"Yes…" said Alexis, now seeing that this was going to be a 'talk-your-way-out-of-a-slaughter' situation, trembling slightly.
"That's soooooo nice!" cried the girl, instantly dropping Alexis and thrusting out her hand. "This has, like, totally made my day! I'm serious! I haven't anyone pick up books for me in, like, ever! Especially not an Obelisk! I'm Kat! Nice to meet you!"
"Alexis…nice to meet you Kat…" said Alexis, shaking her hand feebly, as opposed to her, who nearly snapped hers in half.
"You too Alexis!" said Kat, snatching the books out of Alexis's weak hands. "Well! Gotta head to class, or else old Mrs. Crowler will have my…HEY! If I say a bad word now, it would totally rhyme!"
"Uh…" said Alexis.
"SEE YA HON!" said Kat, giving Alexis a friendly slap on the back, before running off.
"Yeah…bye…" said Alexis weakly, waving.
"ALEXIS FRIEND!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screamed Alexis, running away, not bothering to pick up her books.
---ooo---
By the time she did make it to class, Alexis was pretty weak on her knees…and the rest of her body. After surviving several traumatic experiences that morning, she was looking forward to just sitting down and listening to a teacher rant.
Unfortunately, all the seats were taken.
"Oh…dear…" she said pathetically, looking as row after row of seats in the lecture hall was filled to the brim.
So began yet another struggle, this time, shuffling through a bunch of bodies through, what she assumed, was the Obelisk part of the building. It seemed as if everyone in the room from Obelisk remembered her, some still giving her angry glances about the incident from last night.
"Um…hi…sorry…'scuse me…" she said, pushing through the now dead-quiet mass. However, wedged between a girl and a guy was, finally, a free spot. She was about to put her books down on the desk when-
"Taken," said the guy, slapping a hand on top of it, just as Alexis grabbed the chair.
"Oh…sorry," she said, navigating once again through the sea of blue. However, looking out, she saw yet another spot, and with a strained effort, she made her way toward it.
"Taken," said another girl, putting her hand on the desk, just as Alexis was only about a seat away.
"Okay…" she said, turning around again, moving through to what few available desks there were. However, every single one seemed to be taken, so it seemed, no matter whether she went up, down, left, or right.
She was getting rather sick of the whole 'saving' system of desks, when at last, she found something that there was just no way she could possibly be thrown out of…a set of five desks together.
"Taken," said a guy behind her, as she slammed the books on the desk.
"Oh yes, by those lovely quintuplets I just passed by in the halls," said Alexis, pulling out the second chair from the edge.
"Get out of that seat newbie," said another guy behind them, as Alexis defiantly sat down. "You don't know just what those seats are, do you?"
"Empty, save for this one," said Alexis, relaxing in her chair.
"Look girl, those seats are supposed to be empty," said another guy. "The top student of Duel Academy sits there, and no newbie that comes out of the blue is going to sit next to him!"
"Well he can go die in a ditch, and you jerks can too," said Alexis, flipping to a clean sheet in her notebook.
"Don't you have any respect for your elders and betters?" asked one guy. "That man is probably the most brilliant dueling mind in the school, and-"
"Well I am the Rosa Parks to your Jim Crow," said Alexis, uncapping a pen, and capping it again on the end. "So if you've got a problem, you can just all move and give him your five seats."
"We've still got a few minutes before the teacher comes," said another kid, getting out of his chair. "If we have to drag you out by your hair to the floor, we will, you little newbie."
"Just try!" yelled Alexis, as one of the gang really did grab Alexis's hair, causing her to let out a scream of shock and pain. It looked like he really was trying to pull her out of the chair when-
"She says she sitting their arse-hole, so she's sitting there!" yelled the familiar voice, as Alexis looked up to see the towering figure of Kat.
"Well well…Katrina Tillian…self-proclaimed 'Enemy of All Obelisks'," said the kid, yelping in pain as Alexis slapped the hand that held his hair, causing him to drop it.
"Well well…Dan Royalle…self-proclaimed Obelisk…" said Kat, as Dan had a little anger mark behind his head.
"YOU WENCH!" another one yelled. "How dare you show your face here, defending the supposed group of people you hate? Hypocrite!"
"Oh dear…" said Kat, getting right in Dan's face. "You're worse than I expected. You're head has become so swollen, that your itty bitty brain has popped right out of its socket!"
"What are you-" Dan started, right when, to the horror of nearly everyone in the room, Kat, quite literally, grabbed Dan's head, and similar in the way she did to Alexis, she began to shake it violently, causing Dan to scream in horror.
"It's just like cleaning up the Etch-a-Sketch!" said Kat, holding up the now very dizzy looking Dan, who's face's color was now mixed with a tinge of green. "Heh. You look nearly as ugly as you did before."
"You…little…" he managed to cringe, before, still by his head, she threw him over her shoulder, sending him falling down the rows of desks in the lecture room, until at last, after being bumped and jostled, he landed on the hard tile floor.
"What a lightweight…" she said, cracking her shoulder.
"Oh my god…you've knocked him out!" screamed one of his companions, as some of the other tormenters uneasily looked down to see the horror of the scene below.
"Then my work here is done!" said Kat. "That's should take the edge of him a little bit!"
"I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!" screamed one, leaping over the desk, as Kat did a power kick to his blow, sending it straight back to his face. Another one tried a similar method, but this time, she moved to the side, and let him fly by her, falling on a few desks below. The last one was just left there, gapping at her, not knowing what to do.
"Would you like to comment on this?" asked Kat to the kid.
"Uh…th-they got what he deserved?" asked the other one pathetically, smiling weakly.
"Correct," said Kat with a smile, putting a single finger on top of his head, and with a gentle push, knocked him over like a stiff board.
"Thank you?" said Alexis to Kat.
"Hey, I owed you a favor!" said Kat, giving her a smile and a wink. "Well, now I've paid up for you picking up my books, but I still owe you for me goin' ballistic on you back there when I shouldn't have."
"It's okay…it was nothing…" said Alexis, not wanting the next round of debt repayment to be this violent.
"HEY! YOU ARE NICE!" said Kat. "Holy cheese on rye! My faith in the human conscience has been renewed! This is like, freaky cool!"
"Well, people can get pretty jerky in this class," Alexis admitted. "Still, it's probably not the best idea to cause this many injuries. Teachers generally look down on it."
"Hey, I do what I do, nothing more, nothing less!" said Kat. "AH YAM WHAT AH YAM!"
"Not again," said Zane, walking over the body of the last kid, who was still stiff from fear on the floor. "Good morning Alexis."
"WHA? What are you doing here?" said Alexis. "Aren't you a senior?"
"And she's a second year, what's your point?" asked Zane, pointing to Kat.
"Oh…looks like I broke another nail," said Ka, looking at her hand and kicking a guy who was struggling to get up. "Ah well, easy come, easy go."
"But I thought this was going to be divided by class!" said Alexis.
"Not necessarily, some classes are classes you only take once, so you can take them whatever year you want," said Zane. "This is an elective course, not a required one."
"YOU!" screamed Kat, pointing an accusing finger at Zane. "YOU ARE THE WORST OF THEM ALL! YOU ARE THEIR LEADER, THEIR KING, THEIR KAISER! You must suffer the same fate as your foolish subjects! You are the captain, and yer ship's going down!"
"Fanatics are fanatics, I have no control over that," said Zane.
Kat gave him a hard look, her eye twitching slightly.
"Cheh, your not like the others, so I'll let you go for now," said Kat. "But I got my eye on you…"
She then crept backwards to the Ra side of the room with a bizarrely insane look on her face, cackling evilly to herself.
"She's a bit fanatical herself, isn't she?" asked Alexis.
"These are just the people who can afford to come here," said Zane. "You should see some of the other applicants. So what's this all about?"
"Oh yeah, I tried to sit within a two-desk radii of some high-and-mighty best student in the school jerkwad," said Alexis. "They freaked out and tried to drag me out by my hair, and just when I was about to give them a piece of my mind, Kat showed up and drove them all into the ground."
"I see," said Zane. "Typical. At least she didn't kill any of them for bumping into her again."
"Actually…well, never mind," said Alexis. "Anyway, who is this best-student kid anyway?"
"I prefer to be called Mr. High-and-Mighty Best Student in the School Jerkwad, just for future reference," said Zane.
Silence.
"Ah…taken," said Alexis, getting out of her chair.
"What?" asked Zane.
"Ah, nothing, I'll just go," said Alexis.
"Why?" asked Zane.
"Because I kinda just insulted you, and I don't want to wait for you to tell me to scrub off," said Alexis.
"And I'd do that because?" asked Zane.
"You don't care?" asked Alexis.
"Not really," said Zane.
"Oh…kay…" said Alexis, awkwardly sitting down. "I'll wait quietly for the other shoe to drop."
"Bit weird, aren't you?" he asked.
---ooo---
"Abana…Agro…Anika…" said a dull voice at the front counter of the school, handing out white envelopes with the Duel Academy library on it to passing students, who all picked them up, and with trembling hands, opened them up.
Alexis learned around the grapevine, as she was sitting in the library trying to get some homework done, that a lot of students were still taking the entrance exam to get into DA (she took hers really early, so she was part of the first wave of new students). That means that not only will a lot of new be popping up, old students needed to see what their start-of-the-year rank was. The library tables were filled to the brim with other students, chatting and agonizing over their scores.
One Ra girl with gray-brown hair had just picked up her envelope and opened it up. The second she read it, she looked like she was going to cry.
"There really seems to be a lot of pride to one's own dorm in this school," she said, absentmindedly talking to herself and tapping her pencil against her chin. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen many students that aren't loyal to their own dorm. Oh well…at least I haven't seen anyone who are over-the-top, just plain wrong kind of arrogant yet."
"OUTTA THE WAY LOSERS!" screamed a pair of Obelisk boys, shoving a bunch of poor, innocent Ras and Slifers to the side right into the walls, forcing their way into the room. "Make way for Chazz Princton!"
"And now I have," Alexis said, closing her book shut, deciding that this wasn't someone she wanted to meet. However, fate was cruel in its methods of creating bizarre friendships.
Chazz Princton, while having nothing really special about him appearance wise, did seem like someone who had a massive amount of confidence that borderlines self-worshipping. He had really incredibly dark gray, with the tiniest hit of blue wreathed somewhere in between (here we go again with bizarre hair colors), and it was really, really spiky, almost in the shape of a Mohawk. He walked right up to the table where the Ra girl who looked unhappy about her letter sat down to calm herself.
"Hey, get out," he said to her, as she looked up, automatically taken aback.
"What…but…" she started.
"I said get out," said this kid, 'Chazz' again. "Go sit somewhere else. I don't want to sit next to a Ra."
"But…there are a lot of other spots where you can go…" she said awkwardly. "Ah…"
"Exactly. Go find one," said Chazz.
"But I-" she started.
"Hey, I'm wearing the blue, your wearing the yellow!" he said. "Until that changes, I outrank you Ra Rubbish. So beat it!"
She knew she had lost. She was just picking up her stuff when-
WHAP!
Alexis slammed him over the back of the head with her book, sending him off balance, and causing him to fall to the floor.
"She was there first," said Alexis, as Chazz slowly got up to his feet. "You go find somewhere else!"
"No!" Chazz snapped back at her. "Who died and made you the boss of me?"
"Who died and made you the boss of her?" asked Alexis.
"I'm an Obelisk. She's a Ra!" said Chazz. "You do the math! I outrank her, I bet skills wise I outrank you, and that isn't going to change anytime soon!"
"You just have to test in to be an Obelisk!" said Alexis. "She could easily just one day be an Obelisk! And it's just as easy for you to fail a test and for you to become a Ra! In fact, it's possible for anyone in this school to change ranks! So that's a really flimsy excuse to call yourself better than someone!"
"You're lucky you're an Obelisk!" said Chazz. "If you were a Slifer Slacker or Ra Rubbish, then I'd just let someone else grind you to a pulp!
"You're lucky all you're getting out of this is a whack and a warning!" said Alexis. "Not a lot of people will take the kind of trash that eeks out of your mouth!"
"Cheh, your no Obelisk worth respect!" said Chazz. "No guts, you've got no guts! How you ever made it into this dorm is beyond me."
"POWAH!"
BAM!
Chazz got nailed again, but this time, it was from an aerial kick from Kat, who flew out of nowhere and drove the heal of her shoe right into his chest after a dive from above, sending him flying backwards, as she landed catlike on her feet a few feet away.
"And another one takes a nose-dive!" said Kat. "So proclaims Kat, the Enemy of All-"
"KAT YOU IDIOT!" screamed the Ra girl from the table grabbing Kat by the shoulders and shaking her violently. "DO YOU WANT TO GET US BOTH KILLED?"
"No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o," said Kat, still being shaken.
"RA RUBISH!" screamed Chazz angrily, getting up to his feet, retreating from the scene. "You may have one this time, but I'll get you both for this! And you to Obelisk Girl!"
"JUST TRY SLEAZEBALL!" yelled Kat, watching the library door slam. "I can't wait to see one of your 'Ra Rubbish' take down and Obelisk…Oh…Uh…O…IDIOT!"
"SHUT UP KAT!" screamed the Ra girl.
"Hey! Lex!" said Kat, walking up to Alexis. "Thanks for helping me and Samantha here out! Looks like I owe you again, huh?"
"DON'T TELL HER MY NAME MORON! SHE'LL KILL ME TOO!" yelled Samantha.
"No I won't…" said Alexis.
"You have to forgive Kat, because she's an idiot, and a moron, and she's violent, and she has an awful personality-" the Ra girl, named Samantha, said, violently apologizing while slamming Kat's face into the table. "But she didn't mean it! She's utterly disturbed!"
"MR MHM MNHT!" said Kat angrily, shaking her arms violently.
"No, seriously, it's okay," said Alexis.
"FORGIVE US!" screamed Samantha, grabbing Kat by the back of her collar and dragging her out of the room. So the games began…
L33T B0NUZ PHU/I/
"I could have sworn that this was the end of the chapter," said Alexis, walking back into the library to get her book that she used to slam Chazz. "Huh…oh well. Hey…since when do we need a textbook for-"
Know Your Stars…Know Your Stars…Know Your Stars…
"…uh oh," Alexis said, hearing a disembodied voice as she bent over to pick up the textbook.
Alexis Rhodes…is staring in an AlexisXZane Fic written by Shrilanka-San…
"HEY! IT'S NOT A ROMANCE FIC!" said Alexis. "I know it looks pretty romance ficy at first glance, but it's not, okay? IT'S NOT!"
Oh, my mistake…it's an AlexisXChazz fic…
"Okay, now that's just plain ridiculous!" said Alexis. "If this was a romance fic, it would get in the way of everything humor fics stand on! Randomness…insanity…deranged OCs…"
Alexis Rhodes…is stalked by every man on the planet…
"Well, sometimes it seems like-HEY! BEAT IT!" yelled Alexis, backing towards the door
Alexis Rhodes…she thinks I'm sexy…
"I DO NOT!" yelled Alexis. "OH MY GOD! THE LIBRARY IS HAUNTED BY A DISSEMBODIED VOICE ANNOUNCER! I hate those!"
I'm too sexy for my shirt…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screamed Alexis, running out of the room.
TO BE CONTINUED
---ooo---
Zane: Okay, I only had about ten sentences worth in that entire chapter…
Alexis: Save the moping for later Zane! Things aren't going to get any better, considering next time, we focus a little more on making Chazz's life a living hole!
Chazz: HEY! I didn't want to be in this stupid after-chapter script! I didn't want to be a BEEPing main character either!
Zane: So it stinks to be you.
Chazz: GAAAAAAH! I don't care, just as long as that crazy Ra Girl doesn't show up next chapter!
Alexis: Sorry Chazz, her and another OC that far surpasses her crazyness.
Chazz: I HATE YOU SHRILANKA! DIE IN A DITCH!
Alexis: Chazz! Stop insulting the author!
Zane: Next time, it's Chapter Three, 'A Spoon, a No-Win Situation, and Bucket of Water'.
Chazz: WHO DIED AND GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TELL WHAT THE NEXT CHAPTER IS?
Zane: You, if you don't shut up.
