Ali: *pouts* No one got the little 'Name the Dorms' thing.

Ali: Heh heh... Yeah, guess I wasn't thinkin'. Anywho, we don't got much to say so on with it!

Lea-Renee- Heh...Syrus and Tyranna. It's kinda a no brainer that they'd tease eachother. And of course there'll be good things!
Chapter 3: Histories
The early morning sunlight filtered in through Dorm 358 as Tyranna and Syrus looked at their sleeping roommate. They'd gotten up earlier than the brunette so they could talk.
"Do you think she knows?" Tyranna asked while she put her hair back in braids after taking them out to sleep.
Syrus ran a brush through her own hair and shrugged. "I doubt it. Think we should tell her?"
The blackenette shook her head. "It's not like she'll find out."
Syrus nodded. "You're right."
Before the blunette could say more, the sound of someone shifting on a bed was heard. A yawn followed later. "G'mornin' guys!"
Both of Jaden's roommate's turned to look at her. "Morning!" they said at the same time.
Jaden sat up on her bed. She had personalized the bed with her own red, black, and white bedspread. "So..what're we gonna do today?" she asked.
"We could..." Syrus ran through a list of things they could do. "Oh, I know! We could give you a tour of the campus!"
Jaden grinned and hopped out of bed. "Sure!" She looked down at the black tank top and red shorts she slept in. "Just let me get ready first." Then her stomach growled and she grinned nervously. "And get some breakfast."
Tyranna and Syrus nodded, their own stomachs complaining.
Forty-one minutes later, the three were in the cafeteria eating breakfast.
Syrus noticed Jaden kept looking at her uniform in slight disgust while she ate.
"You okay, Jay?" the blunette asked.
The brunette looked up. "Uh, yeah, I'm fine Sy."
"Don't like the uniform?" Tyranna guessed.
Jaden nodded. "What's with the uniforms anyway?" Then she asked the question that had been bothering her since yesterday. "Why's everybody wearing different colors?"
"You don't know?" Syrus asked, blinking in surprise.
The brown-haired girl shook her head.
"Well, some years ago, there were three students: Slifer, Ra, and Obelisk." the blunette began. "They were great friends, but Ra and Obelisk had crushes on Slifer and began fighting over her(1). Their fights got Slifer mad and she cut her friendship with them. Then they began turning the dorms they lived in against each other. Slifer and the Sennen and Motou dorms against Ra and the Straza and Ishtar dorms and Obelisk and both Kaiba dorms(2)."
"What happened after they graduated?" Jaden asked, brown eyes wide. For some reason, this story interested her.
"Nothing." Tyranna answered for her shortest friend. "The dorms just kept on fighting."
Jaden tilted her head to the side. "But why are the uniforms colored?"
"Oops! Guess I forgot to say that." Syrus smiled, a little embarrassed. "Their respective dorms dyed their uniforms their leader's favorite color. Red, yellow, and blue."
Tyrnna nodded. "Yup. Eventually, one of the Blues became head of the something or other and made the uniform colors official. Later on, they students decided that the poorest students would go the Red dorms, the middle class to the Yellow, and the richest in the Blue. Those who don't care about that thing use different colored ones."
Jaden's brow furrowed. "Well that's a stupid way to run a school."
"Yes, it is."
(Ali: To Be Continued... Just kidding!)
The three girls started at the voice behind them. They turned and saw a silver haired girl with blue eyes.
Tyranna blinked. "Huh? Aster? What are you doing over here?"
"I decided to see the new girl the whole school's buzzing about." the other girl stated, sliding into a seat at the oppsite end of the table from Jaden.
"Why is everyone so interested in me?" Jaden questioned. Ever since she'd set foot on campus, people had been giving her weird looks, as if she had an extra arm. In fact, the only one who hadn't was that boy with teal hair...
It was Syrus who answered her query. "We...just don't get many new students, so it was a little weird seeing you."
Jaden didn't notice how Tyranna gave Aster a meaningful look.
The silverette nodded. "Yeah, and quite possibly something to do with the fact that your wearing red, but in the Yellow dorm."
Jaden's mouth made an 'o' shape as she nodded slowly.
Aster stood up and began walking away. "Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I've got things to do." she threw over her shoulder.
The three roommates watched her leave.
"So...who exactly was that?" Jaden asked.
"Aster Pheonix(3)." Tyranna replied. "She's one of the few Blues who isn't a total snob all the time. Just sometimes"
"Huh." The red-clad girl was slightly confused as to why the bandana-wearer took a slightly bitter tone when talking about Blues.
The three sat in silence for a moment, eating, until Syrus's suddenly remebered something.
"Omigod!"
"You alright, Sy?" her roomates asked at the same time.
The blunette nodded. "Yeah, I just remembered something important." At her friends' curious looks, she continued. "Sarge over there was gonna tell me something exciting that happened over summer, but she never did."
Tyranna blinked with a confused expression, which turned to an embarrassed grin. "Oh right, guess I forgot. Sorry."
"So, what happened?" Jaden asked.
Tyranna grinned. "Well, my parents are both archeologists and the three of us were at a dig. I was digging for some dino bones when, out of nowhere, there was this rock avalanche. I got caught in it and broke my leg so bad, I had to get a new bone. Thing is, there weren't any human bones around so they had to use a dinosaur's." Hazel eyes looked at her friends, who resembled fish. "And, yes, it's one-hundred percent true."
Syrus blinked, soaking up the story. It did seem a little farfetched, but she'd never known the blackenette to lie.
Jaden grinned. "Wow! That's so cool!"
Syrus nodded. "Definitely better than my summer." She looked at her friends, who were finished eating. "So, how about we get to that tour, Jay?"
The other two agreed, so that's exactly what they did.
1: In Ali's view, Slifer is a woman.
2: Each dorm is named after an AP graduate. Sennen is the last name Ali gave to Yami and the 'Red' boys' dorm. Motou is Yugi's last name and the 'Red' girls' dorm. Straza is the last name Ali gave to Marik and the 'Yellow' boys's dorm. Ishtar is Malik's last name and the 'Yellow' girls's dorm. Kaiba is Seto's (feels weird calling him that) last name and both girls and boys' 'Blue' dorms.
3: Aster is, in fact, a girl's name; it's not even a unisex name. It also means "star". Ali felt this need to be said.
Ali: Yay! Aster made her debut!
Rin: Even though it was brief.
Ali: Who cares? She was still in there! Well, laters!
