Chapter 3

It's around midnight. I'm in Jesse's bed and I should be sleeping. But, I'm not. I keep getting this weird feeling like something's going to happen. We're cuddling together and I'm happy, but when have my 'moments' actually lasted for long? Just think, every time I feel like nothing could be better, some villain comes along, trying to take over the world. I end up stopping them and wasting a whole year of my life! Since everything's going great right now, I can't help but feel like trouble's brewing just around the bend. Oh, well. I'm probably just being paranoid. I should try to get some sleep. Jesse and I have plans tomorrow. We're going to tell all our friends about our relationship. That does include Syrus, Hassleberry, Alexis, Chazz, Jim, Axel, Blair, Atticus, Bastion, and Aster. I'm pretty sure the whole school will know by Monday, considering it's Friday and the weekend is the perfect time to gossip.

"Morning, sleepyhead." Jesse softly whispers into my ear.

"Mm. Morning, Jess." I'm still tired, considering I was asleep for only a few hours.

"It's 9:43 and I think it would be a good time to get up now. You can take a shower in a few minutes if you're still tired. I'll just go in first." Jesse always seems to know how I'm feeling. He's always so caring and so pure. I decide to tell him that.

"Jess, you're so pure and caring. You're considerate and sympathetic. Those are a few of the many reasons I love you." He seems stunned, but pleased at the same time.

"Hmm, I have many reasons for loving you too. But we can save that for later. Remember, we have to tell everyone about us today."

"Yeah, I'll be up in a bit." I respond, tiredly. I wonder what surprises are in store for us today. I hope no one tries to use the Darkness to rule the world, get revenge on me, or hypnotize my best friends into doing their bidding. That all seems to happen to me. I still can't shake that feeling! I should tell Jesse. He can calm all fears and doubts I might have.

(Later that day)

"Over here, soldiers!" That's Hassleberry calling. We head on over to their table and sit down. "So? How's life, Jay? Jesse?" I think Syrus has been getting more outgoing lately. He's actually starting up a conversation. I give a huge grin and look to Jesse. "Actually, we have some news for you."

"Jaden and I are boyfriends now! Isn't that great?" Jesse seems excited. I am too and I hope they don't reject us.

"Wow, that's great. I was hoping you two would get together soon. I mean who doesn't think you make a cute couple? Am I right?" Jim asked around and when he didn't get any negative feedback, he turned back to us and smiled.

"I'm glad you guys are okay with us. To be honest, I was a little worried about what you guys would think. Right Jesse?"

"Actually, I was prepared for rejection as long as I had you." He chuckles while sheepishly rubbing his head.

"Aww, how sweet. You guys come up with who's dominant yet?" Chazz seems a little sarcastic but I can tell he's really trying to be nice. "Yup, Jesse's the dominant one!" I respond without hesitation.

"So when did you guys get together?" "Do you want the whole school to know yet?" "Are you ready to go further?" Questions like these came up and we answered them with grins and enthusiastic laughs. We were interrupted when we heard a scream coming from the Duel Academy Building.

"That sounds like Professor Crowler! I think we should go check it out." I call as I run out the door. Jesse gets up and follows with the others. When we get there, Professor Crowler isn't anywhere in sight. I looked around and all I found was his shoe, some scratch marks, and some kind of hair. I showed them to everyone and we assumed the worst: Crowler was attacked by something or someone and we needed to get help fast!

"Come on, let's tell Chancellor Sheppard. He'll know what to do." We run out to find him but he's nowhere in sight, either! We heard more screams but these were farther away and were fading. This went on for hours; we heard screams, ran after them, found nothing, and people were starting to disappear. So far, all the teachers are missing, some Ra students are nowhere to be found, and we just saw an Obelisk student being dragged away, begging for his life to be spared! I think my constant paranoia finally brought down misfortune.

"Well, what should we do now?" I ask, trying to sound unafraid and brave.

"Maybe we should-you know. Get some other students to help?" Alexis suggested, sounding unsure of herself. I asked Jesse what to do because he's so strong and should know everything. Maybe I'm just dreaming. This could all be a dream. "Hey, guys. I think this is just one big nightmare. If it's not, we should go warn the other students before they get kidnapped too." I'm trying to sound optimistic and reassuring, but it doesn't look like it's working. We all agree that we should warn the other students, gather them together, and start working on a plan. We start for the Slifer dorms. I just hope nothing bad is going to happen.
