Do You Really Love Me?

A/N: Thank you, my reviewers for your reviews. I received a few reviews about the OCs being Mary Sues. Honestly I had not thought of them as Mary Sues, but okay… I realize not everyone likes Mary Sues and that is understandable and is to be expected. Rest assured though, these OCs are not going to be damsels in distress, but they're not going to be invincible either. I hope that despite whether you think of the girls as Mary Sues or not, you'll still enjoy the story. Happy reading everyone!
Chapter 2
Lisa and Caitlin walked out of the classroom among the masses of students. Caitlin blushed as she tugged at the skirt of her uniform. With a frustrated sigh and an extra rosy face she commented to her best friend, "Oh, they had to make the skirts this short! You'd think that they wanted us to be more modest since we're supposed to be concerned with learning the art of dueling!"
Lisa smiled at her friend's comment, "Maybe we can ask for modesty shorts to wear underneath or something."
"I hope so."
Just as Caitlin spoke, a guy from the Slifer dorm whistled at her when she wasn't tugging on her skirt. The dark blonde-headed girl's face turned an even deeper shade of red. Lisa turned and gave the guy a look of disapproval and luckily he got the message and went on his way.
As the girls were about to head back to the dorm a tall dark-headed boy wearing a yellow and white uniform and a shorter boy blocked the two Slifers' path. The tall boy wore a mocking sneer on his face as he addressed the new girls, "You two Slifers are pretty. I hope your dueling skills match your lovely faces."
Caitlin's eyes narrowed in anger as she growled at the two of them while making a fist and prepared to attack, "Oh, if dueling skills are based on looks …!"
The golden haired Slifer grabbed Caitlin by the arm as she tried to hold her back as she exclaimed, "Caitlin, don't even think about it! Do you want to get expelled on our first day here?"
"Hey! Didn't your mother ever tell you guys that it's not nice to bully ladies?"
The two bullies, Caitlin, and Lisa turned to see three Slifer red guys giving the two mean Ra Yellow students a look of disapproval. The one who had verbally defended the girls had brown hair. Beside him stood two other boys, one of them had a tuft of hair on either side of his hair and really big round nose. The other, the shortest of the trio, had blue hair. The shorter bully turned his attention to the brown-haired Slifer, "Butt out, Jaden! We weren't talking to you!"
"Regardless of whether you were talking to him or not, Jaden does have a point," said a smooth voice with a slight British accent.
Everyone turned toward the owner of the nice voice. In Lisa's eyes the owner of the voice looked just as good as he sounded! He was a Ra Yellow student so he wore a yellow and white uniform like the ones the bullies were wearing. As he approached Lisa and Caitlin, the golden-haired girl could see his handsome features a lot better. His hair was dark in color, and he had a very handsome face with a well defined square jaw. Out of all the guys present he was the tallest. Lisa felt her face turn red as her heart beat quickened. He smiled a dashing smile as he addressed Caitlin and Lisa, "I'm sorry if my Ra classmates rubbed you the wrong way, ladies."
Lisa's face turned an even brighter shade of red, "Oh, that's …okay."
Caitlin glared at the bullies, "Um, Lisa, no it's not. They were being pretty shallow."
The taller bully snorted, "Just telling it like it is!"
The polite Ra Yellow student turned to his classmates with a clear look of disapproval in his eyes, "Don't you two have anything better to do?"
The shorter bully arrogantly smiled, "Yeah, I suppose we do. Come on. Let's not waste our time hanging around a bunch of Slifer slackers!"
After the two bullies left, the dark-headed Ra Yellow student turned back to the two Slifer red girls, "Not all of the Ra Yellow students are like that, so please forgive them."
Lisa nodded nervously.
"I'm Bastian Misawa by the way."
"I… I'm Lisa Woodley."
Bastian smiled as he took her hand into his and gently kissed the back of it. When he released her hand he turned toward the three Slifer red boys approaching them. "Allow me to introduce you to three of your fellow Slifer red classmates. The one who you stood up for you is Jaden Yuki," Bastian said as gestured toward the brown haired Slifer. The Ra Yellow student went down the line as he introduced the boy with the round nose as Chumley Huffington, and the blue-haired Slifer as Syrus Truesdale.
Caitlin stared at the shortest member of the trio for moment and admired the bluish gray eyes she saw through the lens of his glasses. He's too cute! She noticed him blush when he realized her eyes were on him. Since he didn't say anything, the dark-blonde Slifer moved forward to extend her hand nervously so that he could shake hands with her. "Hi, I'm Caitlin Enelya. This is my best friend Lisa Woodley."
Syrus blushed an even deeper shade of red as smiled and took her hand in his and shook it. "It's nice to meet you."
The blue-haired Slifer silently rejoiced over the fact that he didn't stutter.
After the small group of students stood there talking for a few minutes Chumley complained that he was hungry. Bastian then suggested that they go to get a few snacks to tide them over until dinner.
"Hey, I'll catch up with you guys later, okay? I've got something I have to take care of," Jaden said as he politely excused himself and went in search of a certain blonde Obelisk blue student who he was sure wasn't happy with him at the moment.
Jaden hadn't seen Alexis all afternoon, but he did have an idea of where to find her. Jaden kept both eyes and ears open to make sure that Dr. Crowler wasn't following him. As the brown-haired Slifer neared the abandoned dorm, he caught sight of a familiar blonde kneeling down in front of the locked gate with a rose lying on the ground in front of her.
Alexis had heard Jaden coming, but she kept her eyes closed and head bowed. She wasn't praying, but she really didn't want to talk to Jaden at that moment. I should have gone back to the dorm.
Her beloved boyfriend had found her. He always found her. When ever he knew there was something bothering her, she had always come here.
For several minutes Alexis didn't hear Jaden coming any closer, but she knew he wasn't gone. No, the pretty blonde could feel his eyes on her. She frowned with her eyes still closed. I wonder who's going to have to go first.
"Alexis, I'm sorry for missing our lunch, date."
"Jaden, …"
"Lex, please, just hear me out," Jaden quickly said hoping that she would allow him to do as he asked.
When she didn't say anything, he continued, "I was dueling a guy earlier and I honestly didn't think that it would take that long to duel him."
"Who did you duel, Enrique from Ra Yellow?"
"Yes."
"Did you win?"
Where was she going with this? Her voice, usually warm and sweet, was cold with bitterness. He knew this couldn't be good. Jaden swallowed hard as he answered, "Yes."
"Good."
This is not good! I'm in so much trouble!
"Jaden, we need to talk. The fact that you were dueling someone is not what has made me upset. It's the fact that you just didn't say, 'No, I have somewhere to be,' and just post-pone the duel to a later time when you knew you weren't going to date. It just seems that dueling is more important than anything else."
Jaden felt one of his heart-strings snap. How could she say that? "Alexis, you know I care about you more than anything else in the world!"
The Queen of Obelisk Blue opened her eyes and looked up at Jaden with eyes that broke his heart, eyes filled with anger and anguish. "Do I really, Jaden? Then why am I sitting here with doubts plaguing every single one of my thoughts? This isn't the time you've done this. Ever since before we started going out, you've always seemed to care more about dueling."
Alexis rose from her place on the ground and turned to leave, but before she did turned back towards Jaden to look him the eye. "Maybe it would be best if we didn't see each other for a while."
"What? Tell me you're kidding, Alexis?"
Alexis narrowed her gaze at him. It was then and there he knew she was drop-dead serious.
A/N:This fic is not just going to be about Jaden and Alexis breaking up, etc. This is going to be a long story (or long for me at least) with lot more as far as plot going on than you can imagine right now.There will be heartaches (not just romantic ones), as well as adventure, and big duel (eventually). Please bear with me. It will take me a lot longer to finish this fic than it did my other GX fic (I'm a full-time student). The work load I've got is going to take away from my writing time, so yeah, I won't be able to update as often. I will write when I can. Until the next update, take care, everyone! God bless!
