If it could've been any colder or windier it would have been. In fact, Chazz was sure, it would be minutes until it rained, and the fact that it wasn't already doing so was just the weather's way of tormenting him; it wasn't raining yet but he knew it was going to, so he couldn't relax. And that was sure as hell annoying.

Chazz was running late for his meeting with Alexis. He'd never agreed to it so she might have given up on the idea and gone back inside the Obelisk dorm, when, at five past eight she hadn't seen him. If she'd done that, then his entire journey would have been wasted and he'd have a pink nose and frozen limbs for nothing. Chazz however blamed his lateness on, of course, Jaden Yuki.

The pair had come to an unspoken agreement not to talk about what had happened the previous night. However, Jaden seemed to think that the proceedings of that night had somehow made Chazz want to have the brunette as a friend, which of course Chazz did want, but he would never admit. This led to Jaden thinking it would be okay to share Chazz's dinner without his permission, which ensued in a fight for Chazz's bread, which, Chazz was appalled to say, Jaden won by stuffing the entire slice into his mouth in one go. However, that was why the hungry Princeton blamed Jaden for the fact he was ten minutes late.

After what had been a very long walk through the damp grass in the freezing cold, Chazz did, eventually, arrive outside the Obelisk girl's dorm, but he was not surprised to see no one waiting there for him. After all, for all he knew, Alexis hadn't even written that note and it was just some crazy would-be practical joke from some idiot. Scowling to himself, the raven-haired boy turned to head back when a voice called to him.

"Chazz!"

Alexis Rhodes had had to bribe her friend Mindy with a promise of one heck of a giant chocolate bar, to stop her from gossiping about Zane and Chazz to anyone else. If she had done Alexis doubted very much if Jasmine would still be so infatuated with the narcissistic former Obelisk, and that would have proven fatal to her plan. But, she'd managed to persuade the red head it was in her best interests to keep quiet, and so things, for the moment, were going quite smoothly.

"Alexis? You left a note in my room?" Chazz had made his way over in that small interlude.

"Yeah, uh… come inside?" without waiting for a response Alexis grabbed Chazz's tiny wrist and dragged him into the Obelisk girl's dorm.

"Ow! Alexis! I'm cold and fragile!" he groaned as the doors shut after him, however it was much pleasanter inside than out, but he was sure Alexis was going to leave finger sized bruises on his skin.

"Uh huh, I'll bet," came the blonde's reply, she shook her head then said, "Okay Chazz follow me – I have a favour to ask…" and with that she went darting into the dorm, leaving Chazz little option but to follow her.

The passageways were huge, and Chazz doubted if he'd be able to remember his way out; everywhere looked the same and there were more left and right turns than he could remember. They had been walking for five minutes when Chazz was about to ask where the hell they were going when Alexis stopped, which caused the tired and very bedraggled Princeton to walk into her back.

"Hey! Watch it!"

Chazz sniffed snootily and folded his arms in a would-be 'I'm-a-scary-Obelisk, don't-mess-with-me' pose, and he might well have pulled it off – if his hair wasn't pushed back in what looked like a bad impression of Sonic the Hedgehog, from the wind, and his nose wasn't still bright baby pink, from the cold. "So – what's your favour you want me to do?"

Alexis raised an eyebrow, "I wanted you to go-on-a-date-with-Jasmine-because-she-really-likes-you-and-I-said-you-would," she replied, her entire sentence said very quickly, and before Chazz had time to digest it she placed a hand on his back, opened the door in front of her and shoved him in.

"Hey! I-" Chazz started, but the door shut quickly and – was that the click of a lock?! "Alexis! Let me out of here!" he tried the handle of the door; yep it had been the click of the lock. "Ah damn it!" he cursed to himself before turning to look at the room properly now.

Well, what he could see of the room anyway; it was very dark, and it took Chazz's eyes a second to adjust to it. It appeared to be a very large bedroom, one of those which was separated into two parts – an actual room with a bed in it, and a kind of service area with a sofa and bits of cushy furniture, and Chazz seemed to be standing in the latter. The layout was a lot like his room when he had been an Obelisk, however, there were certain things which were very different – for instance the fact the room was lit entirely by weird red fairy lights and a couple of candles. Chazz supposed some people might find it romantic; he found it represented what hell might look like.

Chazz coughed, "Uh – hello?" he called, not sure if he was hoping for someone to answer or not. If someone was there they might be able to help him get out... however said person might also be some kind of psychopath – one which he was now locked in with. He gulped. "Alexis? Uh – what did you want me to do again?"

This statement was met with a giggle, however, it had definitely not been from the other side of the door – this sound was from within the room... with him.

Chazz glared suspiciously around the room, "Ha ha – yeah very funny. Do you even know who you're talking to? Excuse me but this is the Chazz. I demand respect!" okay, so it wasn't exactly negotiation but if Chazz was going to be raped in this dark room then he might as well shout at the person now – he didn't know how long he'd be alive for.

"Oh Chazzy you wanted to come on a dateywatey with me?"

'Dateywatey'? 'Chazzy?' – Who the hell spoke like that? If the voice hadn't been so high pitched Chazz would have worn it was Zane... on drugs. He gritted his teeth, "Who the hell are you?"

Whoever it was stumbled into view, "It's me Chazz! Me!" a girl ran right up to him as she spoke and he took several steps backwards into the wall to avoid being knocked off his feet.

"Uh – hi, who are you?" the question 'and why I am I stuck in a dark room with you?' also sprung to mind, but he decided to take it one step at a time.

"It's me, Chazzy – it's me!"

Uh, okay, was that supposed to mean something to him?

"- Jasmine?" the girl looked hurt, but took a step towards him arms out streched. Chazz tried to take a step backwards, but was already against the wall, and ended up knocking the back of his head on it – de-ja-vu anyone? This really wasn't turning out to be his week...

"Jasmine?" Chazz frowned and rubbed the back of his head, reluctant to move any closer towards her, "Alexis' friend? The one with the horse?"

Obviously the wrong thing to say.

"Ooh! You remembered!"

Yeah? How was he supposed not to? She'd practically chained him to a seat in the Obelisk cafeteria and pulled out an album full of about a million pictures of the same damn horse. Yeah. It was brown – or was it more politically correct to say 'mahogany'. It had been a four-hour session of pure hell; in this picture it was 'eating hay', in this picture it was 'lying down', and 'ooh look' in this picture it was 'looking at the camera'. What a clever horse! No?

Chazz managed a weak smile, "How could I forget...?" so he'd get her on his side and then – "Hey Jasmine? How do I get out of this room?"

Jasmine grinned and advanced, "Oh! Isn't it perfect Chazzy? We can have the whole place to ourselves for a couple of hours! Why – you're not going anywhere!"

Nooooooooo!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexis twirled the key chain around her finger smugly, well – that took care of the Chazz problem for a while at least, not all that mattered was making sure Mr Truesdale knew who exactly it was that he was in love with.

It didn't take long for her to be outside of Zane's room, the door of which she rapped on twice and then waited. There were quick footsteps from within towards the door and then it was pulled open.

"Cha -? – Oh... hey Alexis," Alexis was too quick not to notice the fall in Zane's expression as he realised that it wasn't Chazz.

She didn't care though. "Hey Zane!" she grinned chirpily before easing her way past the older boy's shoulder and into his room.

"Uh Lex – it isn't a very good time – maybe..." Zane stared at her as she just walked in and made herself comfortable on the bed, "Well take a seat then," he added bemusedly, "You want some coffee?" he asked, folding his arms across his chest, and frowning down at her from where he stood.

"There's no need for coffee at a time like this..." Alexis replied, trying her 'seductive' smile she'd practised in the mirror that morning.

Zane just frowned more, "Uh... time like... what?"

Alexis' smile dropped slightly, "Like this..." she said spreading herself slightly across the bed, "After all – it's not very often you have a rather seductive woman lying on your bed is it?"

What... the... fuck?!

"Alexis – are you drunk?!" was all that came into the older Truesdale brother's head.

Alexis sat up, "No! No I am not 'drunk'," she replied annoyed. She hooked a leg around Zanes and pulled him closer. "Just live in the moment Zane. I know this is what you want. Don't worry about taking advantage because I want to, too."

Zane's eyes bulged. Ahh! His best friend's little sister was coming onto him! Pure insanity. He tried to shuffle away from Alexis but was hooked in place by her leg. "Alexis – I don't think you know what-"

"Of course I do!" Alexis lent forward and grabbed a hold of the waistband of Zane's trousers; the teal haired duellist immediately prised her hands off, with a tiny, Zane blush.

"Really – really you don't," he argued, his voice low and calm. This night was so weird.

"Don't worry Zane!" Alexis tried again, she was so not being denied here. She'd get Zane to snog her if she died trying, "If – if..." okay, time to pull out the big guns, this was sure to work, "- if you're worried about Chazz... don't worry – he's on a date with Jasmine right this moment."

Zane dropped Alexis' wrists, "He's doing what!?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Maybe we could turn some lights on? I can't really see where you're putting your-" Chazz yelped slightly as one of Jasmine's hands teasingly grabbed between his legs, "-HANDS!"

Jasmine giggled as Chazz stumbled away from her. Whoever knew girls were so scary?

"It's all a bit of fun Chazzy, just relax," there seemed to be some kind of mad glint in the girl's eyes. Whatever it was Chazz didn't like it; god damn it – where was Zane when you needed him?

"You unlock that door right now Jasmine or... else!" Chazz tried to threaten her, but his voice came out as a kind of whiny moan, he was backing away from her again, this time tripping over the sofa edges as he went.

"It will be so much easier if you just stand still!" Jasmine was, again, following him, and he did eventually hit another wall. This time the girl didn't stop a metre or so away, she went right up to his face. "I love you! I love you! I love you!" she proclaimed slightly wildly as she then threw herself onto Chazz in a kiss.

Right at that moment the door swung open slightly violently and Jasmine pulled away in shock. The lights flickered on to full power and Chazz flinched slightly on sight of who exactly was in the doorway; a very annoyed and worried looking Alexis, and an enraged Zane.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing!?"

A/N Okay so this chapter moves from weird to down right insanity. Sorry to Lexi fans, cause she is so scary...
