I am sorry for not updating for a few days. I have been surrounded by homework and packing. We are moving to a different house and it has been really busy. I know it is short…but I had to do homework and pack. I wanted to appease you, so I made this little chapter :)

Chapter 7
Jaden inserted the third tape. "I wonder who is next." He said quietly.
"Who knows…"Atticus murmured. At this point he didn't care. He still wanted to know, but knowing who helped lead to his sister's suicide wouldn't bring her back. "Press play." He told Jaden. Jaden did so.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the nicest of them all? Long flowing light onyx hair and vivid blue eyes are reflected back. You see pale skin and a female figure in the glass. Can you guess who? If that doesn't help you—just physical descriptions usually don't—here's another hint. She is our favorite Slifer Red doll lover.
"Doll lover? What is she eight? Who still likes dolls?" Bastion scoffed.
"Alice." Zane replied. "She's the girl that had the Doll Chimera spirit in her when that one kid ripped the card because he lost the duel."
"He claimed he could win as soon as he got rid of that card." Atticus rolled his eyes. He really had no respect for duelist like that.
"I thought that was a lie." Chazz said.
"Alexis didn't. After all, why wouldn't a duel spirit want revenge? If Jaden can see his Winged Kuriboh then why can't the Doll Chimera's anger seep into her?" Atticus asked.
Bastion snorted. "Who the hell would believe that?"
Atticus eyes narrowed into slits. "My little sister." His voice held venom in it.
Bastion instantly shut up. It was not the time to get Atticus riled up. He already let some of his anger out on Hasselberry, and somehow managed to get Zane to stop anyone from intervening. Those were two people who no one wanted to get on their bad side.
Yes that was dear disposable Alice. Why disposable you ask Alice? Well that is because you said it yourself. You are a disposable soul, just like everyone else…especially me. I was just something you used. I thought we were friends. I really did. After what we did to catch Jesse, I thought we were more than acquaintances. I guess I was wrong…again.
You must be confused. You were always sweet to everyone. How could you ever be the one of the causes of my… I still can't say the word. It is sad isn't it? I was thinking about it all the time. 'How would I die? Where? Will it be a peaceful or a violent death? I mean I didn't think about it daily or for hours at a time. It would just cross my mind and then I would ponder on it for a moment before quickly pushing it away. We all know that isn't what happened in the end though. If it was then I would still be alive.
"Alice is a part of this, the girl in the room next to mine, that Alice?" Jaden said in pure shock. Alice was always nice.
"That's the only Alice I know that they call 'Doll Face'." Chazz said.
"Who calls her that?" Syrus asked. "I never heard it.
"It's usually the girls in the Obelisk dorm." Chazz responded.
"Then how do you know they call her that?"Syrus asked.
"Mindy." That was the only response Syrus received.
See Alice, it's not that you're a Slifer and that I'm an Obelisk. Rank only goes so far in the world. Impressions go far beyond. At first you were really nice. But then I started to think that maybe I was your latest charity case. You didn't even say goodbye. Zane says goodbye to people even if he only knows their name. All they have to do is say 'Hi' and when Zane has to go, he says 'Bye.' You don't. You just leave without a single word. At first I figured maybe you were just in a hurry and forgot. Well that was for about the first three times. You did that at least twenty. Yes, I did count and I have proof. E-3 on your map, Alice.
"Look up E-3, Sy." Jaden said.
"Will do," Syrus said as his eyes scrutinized the map. "Found it."
"Where is it?" Bastion asked.
Zane leaned over to look at the map. "It's the Library." He replied.
"Where would she hide that in the library?" Bastion questioned.
Syrus shrugged. "I have no clue."
The library; that is where my evidence is hidden so no one but you and the others on the tape can find it, Alice. Head to the very back of the library, in the left corner there is a big, old dictionary that looks like the cover will tear off if you open it. Don't worry it won't, so open it. There is a picture, but it is flipped over so you cannot see it when you first open the book. Flip the picture over and under it is my little list of how many times you didn't say goodbye.
You must think I am psychotic. Don't worry, I probably am. After all, I am all of this. I bet you none of you on this list would have ever believed I would have done any of this. I was probably too happy. Well, looks are deceiving. You should know that better than anyone Alice. After all, you have been deceiving everyone. You are not that sweet innocent girl that everyone adores. You would never do anything, unless it benefited you. I did, though. After all, if you hung out with me not only would your popularity go up—why I do not know—but also your façade of kindness would greaten because you were "helping" me out. Well, I bet you didn't expect your benevolence to turn out so fucked up. But it did.
"Wow." Syrus murmured.
"Indeed." Bastion nodded his head.
"I never saw them together…" Jaden said.
"I did a few times, but it was only during class, nowhere else." Zane said.
Atticus was just staring at the cassette player. He could imagine Alexis sitting in the library, towards the back, making this tape right now. Everything she has been doing on these tapes, he could picture. It was almost as if she was right there with him. Too bad she wasn't.
I know this tape is short, but it's not that complicated. After all, this is just a simple reason that led to my decision. However, this next tape has a huge factor into my decision. So flip the tape over and listen.
This time, Atticus flipped the tape over.
Okay thanks for all who reviewed for the last chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it is short. Please review! :D
