Chapter 6
It had been about two weeks since the Jaden's and Syrus's "important" conversation with Bastion Misawa. Because the Ra student hadn't bothered to talk to them yet, the Slifer and the Blue-haired obelisk were going crazy. They watched Bastion as he was talking to Chazz about something or another after Gym class. Syrus looked up at Jaden with confusion clouding his eyes.
"Should we talk to Bastion about this?" asked the nerve-wracked Syrus, "I hope we didn't lose a good friend of ours." Jaden laughed and ruffled some of his best friend's blue hair. Jaden looked back at his British friend and thought how would I know what to do? I don't think I need to beg for forgiveness.
"I don't think so," said Jaden glancing at Chazz who went to talk to Atticus. "See, Sy, now that Bastion has no one to talk to, he'll come over to us." His jaw dropped when he saw the new girl walking over to Bastion and they started talking.
"Isn't that the new girl?" solicited Syrus. He noticed how Bastion's eyes lit up when Meg looked in his direction. Could they be dating? Syrus wondered. He shook himself laughing this is Bastion we're talking about. He'd have to know her a long while before he ever thought of going out with her.
"Yes, she is," Jaden replied haughtily. The two boys neared Bastion as Jaden laughed loudly trying to get his friend's attention. Bastion glimpsed at the two boys who were coming near him. Bastion thought they better not embarrass me right now. I don't think I have the patience after Chazz's demanding to know how to get a girl to pay attention to him. How would I know anything about that? I am not Atticus Rhodes.
Meg got a quick look at Syrus and Jaden who were two well-known duelists at this school. They weren't an impressive lot as far as looks went, but appearances are deceiving.
Bastion smiled at Jaden and Syrus, "What's with you two? You look angry." Jaden slapped his head. It was obvious when Bastion was playing stupid, because he knew just about everything or enough of everything. Syrus looked down at his feet as he pondered the idea of them being possibly replaced by some new girl.
"Well, wouldn't you be mad if we replaced you with some girl?" demanded Jaden in response. Bastion laughed at them as he contemplated the concept of them thinking that Meg had taken their place as his best friend. True, she was pretty and smart, but he didn't know her well enough to say anything else about her.
Meg's blue eyes flickered with sheer amusement. Her soft but harsh voice spoke up, "I didn't replace you at all. He just is the only person I know here. I don't mind going back to being anti-social if that's what you wish." Syrus felt sympathetic towards the strange girl. Jaden smiled happily.
"Don't worry about it. I'm Jaden Yuki," he said happily, "I hope you are a good duelist because I am always itching for a duel." Meg nodded and looked at the flushed Syrus.
"I'm Syrus Truesdale, it's nice to meet you," the blue-haired boy said. Meg nodded and thought he's so tiny like a bunny rabbit.
"It's a pleasure to meet both of you," Meg said graciously. Bastion smiled, as Jaden, Meg, and Syrus were discussing dueling, and thought perhaps, they will get a long; therefore, Meg wouldn't be as lonely as when she got here. They headed to their separate dressing rooms to get changed out of their gym uniforms,
They headed towards their music class that none of them could enjoy. Bastion overheard some first years talking about a possible field trips that the graduating class was about to take. I wonder what they are going on about. I don't think we are going on a field trip. Why would we? It must be some rumor the genius thought. He couldn't help but think that there was a something about a field trip that did pique his interest, but he decided to ignore it. The group of upperclassman went into their least favorite class. Well, for Syrus and Jaden, it was still better than Crowler's class.
"So what do you think she'll be attempting to teach us today?" asked Chazz who was in the row behind them. Jaden shrugged and laughed.
"What are we supposed to be learning any ways?" he asked in reply to the man attired in a black trench coat. Meg wanted to defend her sister by natural instinct and how she was raised, but she kept her mouth shut.
"Well, this is a music class so I assume music," Bastion said stating the obvious. The three other boys laughed.
After the bell rang for their classes, all the students settled down into their seats and quieted down a tad as Taniya came in from her hall duty. She looked pleased as she took care of roll call. No one was skipping today. She stood up and passed around papers to all the students.
"In a month, we will be going on a field trip to an abandoned opera house in England. We will be staying in a nice hotel," Miss Taniya said looking at the crowd of student's expression. She was hoping for some reaction besides more chattering either from excitement or confusion. She continued," The acoustics are good there. Miss Fontaine and Dr. Crowler will help me chaperone this event." Some students moaned in displeasure once the word "Crowler" was spoken. Did the new teacher not understand that nobody sane liked Crowler?
Meanwhile, Bastion was thinking about going back to his home in England. He prayed that he wouldn't run into his family, or that he would end up staying in the hotel his stepfather and his mother ran. That would be awkward; he looked over at Meg who looked displeased at having to see more of her sister and teacher than she already had to. He pulled out a sheet of paper and a pencil and wrote:
Meg-
I was thinking about the field trip. I may have to see my family and you will have to see more of your sister, but I was thinking about getting some revenge. What do you say?
-Bastion
He folded the piece of paper neatly into quarters and passed it to her. At first, Meg looked taken a back, but she opened it calmly and read it thoroughly. She pulled a pen out of her binder and wrote back on the same page below Bastion's note. Her writing said:
I'm in one hundred percent. Meet me in front of the school after our classes, and we'll talk about it. Okay?
-Meg
p.s-I think it's time to show them what we're made of.
Bastion nodded getting ready to set the stage for a proper revenge against the ones who have done them harm.
Mew Kazurinu: Interesting, no? Well, let's see what happens sooner. What will they plan to bring down their families? Well, read and review.
