Chapter 2

I met with Jesse at his dorm room. We exchanged our usual greetings and walked off toward the cliff. Halfway there, he stopped and turned to look at me. I was secretly hoping he would confess his love for me right then and there, but what are the chances of that happening? Actually, let's see. Bastion taught me how to calculate the odds of certain events occurring, just recently. Let's see… if we put the chances of this and his personality. Wow! There's a 1 out of 5 chance of this happening! Please let it be that 1.

"Jaden, I-" He cut himself off and kept on walking. So much for that idea. We ended up at the cliff and sat down at the edge. I always enjoyed coming here to clear my mind up.

"Jess, there's something I've been dying to tell you and I can't hide it anymore. You'll probably reject me and hate me later, but I don't care. As long as there's a chance of you returning how I feel, I'm willing to take that chance." I gushed out slowly. I really hope he knows where this is going and doesn't try to back away from me.

"I love you. Not as a friend, but more. I care for you and would just die if anything life-threatening happened to you." I know he's blushing. It's dark and we're at least two feet apart, but I can sense his uneasiness. I can't really blame him. I'm starting to blush too.

"Jaden. That's what I was about to tell you. I wasn't sure how you would react, though."

Is this a dream? He's actually telling me that he feels the same way! I'm so happy, I could just go to Heaven right now and drift right back down to Earth with angel wings on my back! Okay, that might be a little too much.

He keeps on talking. "I really feel a connection between us. You're still my best friend, but I want more. I want you to be with me for all eternity and the afterlife and Heaven and our next life and everything after that! Is that too much? Umm. Sorry about that."

I'm stunned, shocked, paralyzed, and slightly dizzy. He really is telling me that he loves me! So I did get that 1 out of 5 after all!

"Jesse, I want to be with you forever, too. Let's head back inside. It's getting kind of chilly."

"Okay!" He cheerfully agrees. "I can't believe I actually got that off my chest. I've been keeping that from you for over a week!"

"Heh, that still doesn't beat my record. I've been loving you since TWO weeks ago!" It does feel great to release your feelings to someone who gives them all back. "This is gonna be the best period of my life, ever! So, are we considered boyfriends, now?"

"You bet! I wouldn't have it any other way."

We kept on talking about our feelings for each other and our thoughts before we confessed. We were walking and I suddenly tripped over a rock.

"Ouch! That really hurt!"

"Haha. Are you okay?" He asks, offering me his hand.

"Just peachy." I reply sarcastically.

"Well, we better get going!" He glances at his watch. "It's already 7:24 and I think they're having rice balls with shrimp puffs at the Obelisk Dorms today!"

At the mention of food, I spring up. A guy's gotta eat, you know. "You're taking me to the Obelisk Dorm?" I ask, a little surprised. Slifers like me aren't allowed into the other dorms unless a member of that dorm brings them. Even then, we still get dirty looks and scowls from the others who don't want us there.

"Of course, silly. You're my boyfriend now and I want to enjoy my meals with you. I still would've invited you over, anyway." He shows that enchanting smile again and I can't help but melt into his gaze. We start for the dorms and get there by 7:35.

"Hey! Look what the rain dragged in!" Someone shouted as soon as they saw me. "Oh, it's not rain, he's probably just still wet behind the ears from that last exam! I tell ya, slackers are getting more and more pathetic each year."

I felt a bit self-conscious but Jesse would never let anyone talk about me like that. I was proved right when he spoke up. "Just leave him alone. He's with me and he's NOT a slacker. He happens to be one of the best duelists I've ever met before!"

"Hey, calm down, Jesse. We were just playing around. There's no need to get all defensive."

"Good. Jaden and I are really good friends and I don't appreciate my friends being mocked. Come on, Jay. Let's go get something to eat." I think he could be slightly on the possessive side. Who cares, though? I belong to Jesse now and I know he cares about me.

"Gosh, I didn't know how possessive you could be!" I exclaimed as we sat down at a table towards the back.

"Well, I couldn't just stand around and watch MY boyfriend get dissed by a snotty rich kid, now, could I?" He answered with a smirk. I think he looks dominating with that face on.

"Well, let's dig in!" I yell, earning a laugh and a cheer from Jesse. This is gonna be the most perfect relationship, yet.
