I know in this a little of the plot, but I need to make it happen. So if you read the book you will know what I mean.

Chapter 3
He's a good time Cowboy Casanova leaning up against the record machine. That was one of the many ways to describe the next person on my tapes, the person this tape is all about. Think about it. Who is the one who wears the cowboy hat on campus? If you guessed James Crocodile Cook, then you are correct. You are probably wondering why you of all people are on the list. After all, you were very kind to me when my brother started to not avoid me.
"I never avoided her." Atticus huffed.
"She was referring to when we "abandoned" her. After all we didn't really attempt to hang out with her." Bastion said.
"I might have not hung out with her often, but I did not avoid her." Atticus barked at Bastion.
"Both of you shut up!" Syrus barked out. This surprised everyone.
"Sy?" Jaden said with surprise.
"I am trying to listen to what she is saying! And now thanks you guys we have to rewind it!" Syrus said. He began to rewind the tape until the thought it was where they left off. Luckily he was close.
You were very kind to me when my brother started to avoid me. You and Sadie both were extremely kind. Then we started to hang out less. I do not know the cause, but our new formed grew seemed to disperse, just like my old one. Well, I was the one to disperse. You dated Sadie. We still talked, but only in the halls. We weren't close but we still acted civil towards each other. Well, until you started that list. You must be thinking that this had to be something else. That your little list was not a part of my snow ball effect. Well, it is. Your list caused a lot of problems. It caused problems with me and Sadie and it caused problems with other students. I was actually amazed you managed to keep the list from by brother and his friends. That is quite a feat to be able to keep something from Zane and Atticus, especially since they were only two seats behind you. So tell me, how could you not keep it from me when I was on the other side of the room, nowhere near you?
"What list?" Jaden asked.
"You will find out in a second. If I know Alexis like I think I do, she will mention it in a moment." Unlike the brunette, Chazz new exactly what list she was talking about; he even voted on the list.
Oh yes, I know why. Every student that got the list was snickering and looking at me. So when it got to the person behind me, I snatched it from them. I was really surprised. Best Ass and Bust in Duel Academy? Not just in Obelisk Blue, but in Duel academy? I couldn't believe it. You thought I had a nice ass and that my chest was...how'd you put it? Oh yeah, big enough to use as a pillow and snuggle your face into it.
Atticus's eye twitched. "I am going to kill him!" Atticus roared.
You know, the sad thing was that some of the people who use to be my friend—or so I thought—even took part in your little survey. I won't mention them. They know who they are. But it wasn't that, that made me upset. It was what happened afterwards, when I was getting more cards for my deck. Despite what most believe, I hated homework and I did my best to prolong it as much as I could. Anyway, when I was at the student story, Sadie and Ms. Dorothy were both gone. Instead, there was a little old man who always filled in for her. He never spoke to me, but I really didn't mind. That is G-7 on your map, by the way. It happens to be the first star, since really the rumors were everywhere; I felt no need to mark a spot.
The man never spoke to anyone that I was aware of. But that day he and I were both there, there happened to be another student as well. He didn't show up until I was at the cash register. I was buying some candy.
They could hear Alexis sigh in content. They all knew she had a sweet tooth. The best gift to get her during a holiday was in fact candy. It was easy to find and plenty of it. Her eyes always lit up when she opened her gifts and found candy. Candy was probably her favorite gift out of all the things she got.
It's hard to decide when coming to candy. So many flavors and types, but I love them all. After about, ten minutes I decided on a classic. A Hershey bar, just a plain milk chocolate Hershey bar. I began to dig in to by bag for some cash when I heard the bell ring, signaling that the old and I man were not alone anymore. 'Hey Frank!' he said. I didn't know his name was Frank, and then again if I looked at his name tag, then maybe I would have. The voice was easy to recognize. It was Tyranno Hassleberry. I didn't mind at first, he was a close friend to Jaden and never really did anything wrong to me before. 'Do you know who this cutie is?' He asked Frank. I tensed up; the only other person in the place was me. So he had to have been talking about me. Frank didn't say a word, but his eyes looked at from Hassleberry to me.
"Cutie? Since when did he call her cutie?" Chazz asked. The others shrugged.
'She's Best Ass and Bust in the school!' he told Frank. Then he had the nerve to grab my ass. He groped me. All because of your damn list Jim. I hope you're happy because your list became extremely popular. So popular that someone had the nerve to sexually assault me.
Atticus got up and stormed out of the room. Jaden blinked and looked towards the direction Atticus went. Then he stopped the tape. "Atticus?" he called out.
"It's no use. Come on." Zane said. He got up from his seat and walked out the door. The other teens quickly followed him.
"Where are we going, Bro?" Syrus asked.
"To make sure that Atticus doesn't get kicked out of the school." The elder Truesdale said.
"Why would he get kicked out?" Jaden, the clueless Slifer asked.
"You'll find out." The Obelisk blue said. They finally caught up to Atticus.
"Hassleberry!" Atticus called out. He headed towards Tyranno with a deadly aura.
"Hey! Whatcha ya doin'?" He said.
Atticus didn't respond to Tyranno's question. Instead he punched him, hard.
"What the hell was that for?" Tyranno asked. He cupped his cheek.
"You son of a bitch, how dare you do that to her!" Atticus growled out. By this time a crowd had formed around them.
"What I do? Who'd I do it to?" Tyranno asked in shock. He never saw the elder Rhodes like this.
Atticus didn't say anything. He just punched Hassleberry again and again. Tyranno began to throw a few, weak, punches as well. One of Hassleberry's friends decided to help him out but was stopped by Zane.
"Stay out of it." Zane told him.
"And if I don't?" The boy sneered. He received a punch to the face, by none other than Zane Truesdale. The other students who crowded around them were shocked. Zane actually punched a guy.
"Atticus Rhodes! Tyranno Hassleberry! Zane Truesdale! Get into Chancellor Sheppard's Office now!" A new voice yelled out. It was Crowler's.
The three boys did, unwillingly. "The rest of you go. There is nothing to see here so get moving!"
Bastion, Chazz, Jaden, and Syrus had no other choice except to go back to the Slifer dorm and wait for Atticus and Zane to get back.
"Yes? What is it, Crowler?" Chancellor Sheppard asked.
"These boys were fighting." Crowler said. Chancellor Sheppard looked surprised.
"Atticus and Zane were fighting?" He asked in a bewildered tone.
"Yeah, Rhodes hit me!" Hassleberry said.
"Mr. Hassleberry, you are excused." Chancellor Sheppard said. Crowler's eyes widened. "You let him go but not our best students! He gets into more fights than Jaden gets 'F's'!" Crowler growled out.
"I am well aware of that, Crowler. However, I need to talk to Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Truesdale alone. So may you please escort Mr. Hassleberry back to his dorm, Crowler?"
Crowler nodded his head. He glared at the Ra yellow student. "Follow me." Then he walked out the door.
"So why did you want to see us?" Zane asked.
"I am assuming you punched Hassleberry because of the tapes?" Sheppard asked.
The two Obelisk boys' eyes widened. "You know about the tapes?" Sheppard just nodded.
"How far did you get into the second tape?" He asked the two teenagers.
"Atticus stormed out after he heard that Hassleberry groped Alexis." Zane replied.
"How do you know about the tapes?" Atticus asked. "Are you on the list?"
Chancellor Sheppard shook his head no. "I am not on the list."
"Then how do you know about the tapes?" Zane questioned.
"I have the second copy." The chancellor replied.
