Chapter 3

Jealousy?

YASMIN'S POV.

It was a normal morning. I woke up, got showered, had breakfast and such, then I got a text from Akiza. She had texted me saying that the guys could use some help getting the new parts for the engine prototype. Of course I was happy to help. But since we didn't live to far from the guys' place, I decided to walk there. Once I met up with the others, we headed to the parts shop. Once we had everything, we headed back.

On the way, we started talking a bit.

"I can't wait to see the new engine." Lena said.

"Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great." I agreed.

"Hey, by the way, where's Cloe?" Jack asked.

"She had to do orientation at Duel Academy." Akiza stated.

"I told her to do it sooner." Lena said shaking her head.

"Well you know how Cloe is sometimes." I stated.

We saw Zora up ahead and she seemed a bit down.

"Hey, what's wrong Zora, you seem a bit down." Crow said.

"Mind your business!" Zora scolded.

"You do seem a bit down." Yusei said.

"Oh, Yusei thank you for inquiring." she said kindly.

I saw Crow make a face and I giggled a bit. I saw him blush a tiny bit as well.

"The truth is I am down. At the town meeting it was decided that my beloved clock must be replaced." she said, taking a look at the clock.

"It has been broken for some time." Crow stated.

"But out you punk!" Zora exclaimed.

Crow flinched and hushed up.

"That's a shame." Yusei said.

"It really is." Zora agreed.

"Uh, could someone tell me why Zora's picking on me here?" Crow asked aloud.

"Oh, it's just that my youngest son, Lindon is coming to town. And he and I, are fighting! So I'm practicing." Zora yelled at Crow.

"Oh man, there's nothing quite like a mother's love." he said, making the rest of us laugh.

He smiled at me when I laughed and I blushed slightly, but hid it. I then stepped forward, and in front of Zora.

"Hello, Ma'am. I'm Yasmin. I just moved here, it's nice to meet you." I stated shaking her hand.

"Oh, what a nice girl." she said.

"Thank you ma'am." I replied.

"And so polite." she stated, then went back to yelling at Crow.

After that, we headed into the garage and started to set things down and watch as the guys worked on their runners. After a while we heard someone talking and were all shocked to see some guy with a back pack. He was Zora's son, Lindon. He filled us in on what was happening between him and his mom. The guys decided that he would stay with Crow in his room, which upset Crow immediately.

I noticed Lindon staring at me and looked at him. He turned away and blushed. I also saw Crow not look to happy. What was his problem…?

Of course things didn't go smoothly, and Lindon ended up dueling Crow. While they were dueling, Lindon stared at me again for a minute, then another and another, and it was his turn. Crow noticed and didn't seem too happy that he wasn't doing anything.

"Hello?! Lindon, pay attention!" he called.

Lindon snapped his head back to Crow.

"Oh yeah! For my next move I play…" I continued to watch as they went back and forth. Crow still seemed a bit irritated though, but why?

CROW'S POV.

I was really getting annoyed here. I wanted for Lindon to make up with Zora, partly so she would stop picking on me, but still! I felt…weird when I saw the way he stared at Yasmin. But why? I mean, it's not like we're going out.

I felt myself blush a bit, but shook it off. What was that? I'm sure it's nothing. Now I need to get back to the duel.

"I place two cards face down and end my turn." I called.

I just hope Lindon gets what I'm trying make him see soon…

Just as I hoped, Lindon won and made up with his mom. We all just hung out in the garage afterwards. I saw Lindon and Yasmin talking, and it made me mad again.

"Hey, I'm gonna go grab something to eat, anyone want anything?" Yasmin asked.

Everyone raised their hand and gave her the money for their food, except for Jack, so Cloe covered for him.

"Alright, anyone want to come with and help me get this food? I didn't ride my runner here and I'm fairly certain that I can't carry all the food myself." she said.

I was about to speak, when Lindon spoke up first.

"I'll help out! It would be my pleasure to help a pretty girl like you in need." he said bowing and making her laugh a bit.

"Alright, see you in a bit guys." Yasmin said as they left, laughter and all.

I glared daggers at the back of Lindon's head and growled a bit.

"You alright, Crow?" Luna asked.

"Yeah, just fine." I mumbled.

"He's just upset that Lindon is the one going to help Yasmin and not him." Lena said.

"Yeah, he's jealous." Cloe stated.

"I am not!" I exclaimed.

"Whatever you say." Cloe replied.

"Why would he be jealous?" Leo asked.

"It's because he like Yasmin." Jack stated.

"Well I like Yasmin and I'm not jealous." Leo said.

"No Leo, he likes her likes her." Akiza replied.

"Oooh." The twins said together.

"I like her as a friend and that's all!" I insisted. They all just raised their hands in defense. I noticed that Yasmin and Lindon were coming back, still laughing together.

"Shut up, here they come." I said.

"Hey guys. We were lucky, there was no line." Yasmin said passing out the other's food.

"And Lindon, thanks again for helping." she said smiling at him, making him blush and making me angry.

"No problem. I am nothing if not a gentleman." he said bowing.

She laughed again.

What I wouldn't give if I could unleash Sorako the Dawn on him right now. I smiled at the thought of it and shook my head lightly.

No, I can't be like that, I just have to try and ignore it.

I saw them talking and laughing again.

Yeah, ignore them…easier said than done.

Maybe I was jeal-No! I wasn't jealous! I couldn't be…right?

OKAY, I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED. PLEASE REVIEW, BUT DON'T FLAME! PEACE OUT!
