It was the next day Alexis was getting out of bed from her shared room with Jaden.
She had the top bunk and as she awoke the next morning she saw Jaden still deeply asleep
'Heh...Sleeping gently.' She thought looking at him.
'He kind of looks cute.' she thought
She blinked at her own inner monologue, did she REALLY think Jaden was cute?
"What was that?" She whispered
"Hmm..." Jaden mumbled in his sleep, turning over in his bed.
She grabbed a towel and walked inside, seeing how small it was...how decrepit it was. "I'm petitioning for this place to get a renovation."
She frowned "Jaden and the others don't deserve to be in a dump like this!"
Alexis began to strip off and get into the shower, instantly feeling the freezing water come into contact with her skin.
"Gah!" She yelled in shock
"Wh-What is this?!" She shivered, pulling herself back and protected her body from the cold water. She took her clothes and dried herself off, wanting to get out of there.
As she emerged from the bathroom she saw Jaden waking up... And she tripped up on a pair of his pants he had left lying on the floor
"Wh-Whoa!" She called out and landed on him.
"Ow." He groaned
"Jaden! I. Sorry. I just tripped." She answered "You really need to clean up."
"Yeah...Well...I never had much incentive to before. I'll *yawn* clear it up after a shower." Jaden answered with a yawn
"In THAT water?!" Alexis gasped
"Well...I never said it'd be a LONG shower." Jaden answered
Alexis could not help but smile at that
"So um...Were you comfortable? Any snoring I should be aware of?" Jaden asked, joking lightly at the end.
"Yes, you snored." Alexis chuckled
"Then we better invest in some earplugs." Jaden laughed. "Ow...Let me get up." He groaned, getting up.
"Sorry!" Alexis gulped, quickly getting off him
"It's alright. First night here is always a tricky one." Jaden answered. "I won't be long and we'll head to breakfast."
"Okay." She nodded
It didn't take long for Jaden to get washed and ready for breakfast, where they saw Syrus who looked REALLY tired.
"Kinda...Chazz wasn't keen on having me there." Syrus answered, rubbing his eyes.
"What happened?" Alexis frowned
"He kept kicking me in his sleep. Said it was "his quirk"...Not to mention I could swear I heard voices in the middle of the night. Not his." Syrus answered
"Jerk." Jaden sighed
"Still...It...It's okay." Syrus answered, keeping hopeful.
Before he yawned
"We'll get some extra sleep in class." Jaden spoke, reassuring his friend.
"We?" Alexis frowned at Jaden
"I err...Aha...I Dream-Duel." Jaden chuckled
Alexis frowned and sighed
"What?" Jaden and Syrus answered
Alexis sighed and rolled her eyes, walking away to the breakfast room
"... What?" The two blinked
The Slifers went into the breakfast room where they caught Alexis, almost drooling at her.
Alexis' eyes widened in shock to see the meagre amounts of food the Slifers were given.
"This is not a healthy amount of food." Alexis blinked "Heck it's not even healthy!"
"Yeah, well...It's breakfast." Jaden answered
Alexis frowned, rubbing her chin
"Good morning everyone. I hope you've all slept well." Professor Banner spoke
"Yes Banner." They all mumbled/nodded
"Now, I hope you're prepared for the day; there's going to be a LOT of studying and practice duels." Banner continued.
Most of the class groaned gently
"Now, now, everyone. I KNOW we're still low on the duelling board, but I'm certain that you'll get to Ra and Obelisk if you continue your studies." Banner spoke, giving his support.
"Now eat up."
The students grumbled lightly but didn't want to complain outright. They had their small breakfast and were getting ready for school.
Alexis soon finished hers, sighing
"Now, off to class. Except for you, Alexis. I want a quick word." Professor Banner spoke
"Yes Professor Banner." She nodded
As they left, Alexis remained and waited for what Professor Banner wanted to talk to her about.
"How're you finding your new room? I expect it's quite the step down from Obelisk Blue." Banner asked genuinely.
"I'm fine. But it's no wonder these guys are having trouble." Alexis nodded
"I know. But I have the utmost faith in them. It may be bad now, but they'll look back and see how far they've come." Banner added
Alexis nodded and sighed
"Now, off you go. Classes are about to begin." Banner ended
"Thank you, Professor." Alexis answered and left.
"You okay?" Jaden asked
"Yeah, Professor Banner just wanted to know if I was alright." Alexis answered
"That's good." Jaden smiled
"Hmm...I guess I have a new perspective on Slifers now. What you have to go through each day." She sighed.
"It's life." Syrus shrugged
"It's unfair." Alexis added
"It's life." Syrus repeated
"It's okay, Lex...Besides, we've got the best view on campus." Jaden chuckled
"True." Alexis smiled
The trio headed to the main campus, going to their first lesson.
*time skip*
"Oh...GOD, that lesson was tough." Alexis groaned
... And she heard snoring next to her
"Right..."Sleeping in class"." Alexis sighed as she looked at Jaden and Syrus who were sleeping.
She was worried about them for this
"Oh man...Jaden...Wake up." She shook him
"Jaden, you fell asleep." Alexis spoke
"Oh, class is over already? Cool." Jaden yawned
"Did...Did you sleep through the entire lesson?" Alexis asked in shock
"Well... Yeah. Sy and I usually do." He nodded
Alexis looked at them in shock...Although it DID dawn on her WHY they got low grades in written exams.
"Come on, we're going to be late for the next lesson." Alexis sighed
"Alright...Sy, come on buddy." Jaden gently shook his friend awake
"No Dark Magician Girl! Don't leave me!" Syrus called out tiredly
"Err..." Alexis blinked
"Sy, you're dreaming again." Jaden shook his friend
"Huh?" Syrus blinked
"You were talking in your sleep again, dude." Jaden spoke
"Oh." Syrus and blushed
"Come on, I think it's...*yawn*...Professor Banner's lesson next." Jaden spoke
"And we are in the front row." She gulped
"Don't worry Alexis. We've got quick reflexes." Jaden answered, reassuring her.
"Yeah, we know when to duck." Syrus nodded "Tip, sit at the edge of your chair. It makes it easier to slid under the desk."
"I'll remember that." Alexis took a mental note. "We better get going."
The group nodded and walked off, Obelisks snickering
"Hey Slime, how's the shack?" Someone in a group of Obelisks snickered at the trio.
"Oh leave Ms Looser Boobs alone, I'm sure she can sleep around after she fails school and get SOME form of success." Another laughed
Alexis' nerves were snapping at those Obelisk girls, she wanted to knock them out.
He blood was boiling in anger
"Lex." Jaden frowned and grabbed her hand. "Calm down...Okay?"
"Jaden?" She blinked
"I'm not gonna let you do something to give them fuel." Jaden reassured her.
"Thank you." She sighed
"I'm here...Okay?" He smiled gently as they held hands through the hall.
"Okay." She smiled
They soon reached the classroom where they sat down...Or well, to the point: sat near the edge of their seats in case...No "in case" about it; the actuality of an explosion happened.
They were prepared for WHEN it happened!
So, just to clarify: Any explosions, they ducked.
"Good morning class. Nice to see you all here on time." Professor Banner smiled, walking in and holding Pharoah in his arms
As the class responded, the lesson continued as planned, mostly. There were still the jabs at Alexis' new standing as a Slifer, but Jaden grabbed her hand which was under the desk and on her knee...In VERY close proximity to her inner thigh.
Alexis was shocked at how she was getting so wet from that simple act!
"Now we just add this liquid-" Professor Banner spoke, pouring a blue liquid into a red liquid and...
"DUCK!" Syrus yelled
BOOM!
The first five or so rows coughed as a thick black smoke filled the room, Banner seemingly burnt to a crisp from the soot all over him
"*Cough*...Class dismissed." Banner coughed and squeaked as the rows who ducked rose from their seats and began to head out...all except two. Jaden and Alexis.
The two were smiling at each other, laughing a bit
"That...That was-" Alexis panted, laughing
"Yeah. It was." Jaden nodded and chuckled
The two shared a smile, a romantic feeling filling the air
"...Guess we should leave?" Jaden asked
"Yeah." Alexis nodded
And they didn't move
The two gave a small chuckle...and looked at each other gently.
Their faces slowly moved closer, their eyes slowly closing when...
"Are you two ready to go?" Banner asked as he peaked over the desk
Both Alexis and Jaden jumped and banged their heads on the underside of the table.
"OW!" They exclaimed and rubbed their heads
"Yeah, we're just going, Professor." Jaden answered
"Yeah, sorry." Alexis nodded
"Well then, off you go. You better not be late for your break." Banner spoke, letting the duo leave.
The two nodded and left, Alexis brushing down her skirt
"That...that was close." Jaden whispered as they were out of Banner's earshot.
"Yeah." She nodded
"Want to ditch the next lesson?" Jaden asked jokingly.
"Jaden." She glared
"It's a joke, I'm joking." Jaden raised his hands.
*time skip*
Jaden and Alexis had spent nearly all day together. Besides the fact he sat next to her during lessons, it was quite nice. Even the two getting into some accidental touches.
They were now back at their room, doing their homework
"Hey...Err...Lex...I need some help with these questions." Jaden spoke
"Sure." Alexis smiled
Jaden shuffled up close to Alexis and looked at some of her answers, their hands touching again as Jaden looked at Alexis' work.
Alexis froze a bit and blushed
Jaden saw Alexis' blush and pulled back slowly. "I...guess...we WERE interrupted before." He gulped gently.
"No, it's fine." She mumbled
"Yeah, just err...Thanks...for the help." Jaden answered
"You're welcome." She smiled
