Chapter 2: Welcome to Duel Academy-Jacob's POV
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX only the Original characters of my creation. I do not own the links posted in the story nor do i own content the links lead.
A/N: I'm sorry to anyone who was reading this. I had actually forgotten about the story with school business. But I will be continuing this story and I will try to update regularly. Also please read and review so I can see what you think of the story.
I will also be posting pics of what James, Jacob and Drake look like to my profile. As soon as I figure out how.
"Well that's the last of it." said Jacob as he tossed his last piece of luggage into the helicopter that would take him to Duel Academy.
"Ok Jacob. Call me whenever you get to the school and get settled in" said Mrs. White.
"Ok Mom will do." said Jacob
Jacob's mom stepped forward and gave him a hug. She then stepped away and began to walk back to her car. Once she got in, she waved goodbye to her son and began to drive off.
'Ok time to go' thought Jacob as he got on the helicopter.
Once he got on the helicopter he chose to sit down in a window seat on the second row, on the left side of the helicopter. He pulled his phone out to look at the time. It was 8:35 A.M. He signed up for the 9:00 flight for new students to Duel Academy because he wanted to hang out with Drake again.
Jacob looked outside the window and noticed a lot of kids were still talking to their parents. There were also kids who were already on the helicopter like himself. Jacob looked around to see if he recognized anybody. There were one or two faces he recognized; The kid with the wild blue hair and glasses was in the window seat opposite of him. In front of the kid with the glasses was the guy who had been sitting next to him during the exam. What was his name again? All he could remember was he was eavesdropping on his conversation during the exam. Even though it wasn't a personal conversation it was the fact he still eavesdropped.
At that moment the kid with the brown hair who beat one of the professors for his exam walked on. He wore a black jacket with a red t-shirt. He also had on black jeans and red converses. The brown haired kid sat next to the blue haired kid and they began talking. About what? Jacob didn't really care.
"Alright this is your pilot speaking we are about to leave in 5 minutes. Before we leave I ask for everyone to turn off their cell phones so not to interfere with any radio signals the helicopter may receive." said the pilot.
Jacob didn't even realize that the helicopter had filled up. He realized nobody sat next to him so he decided to put his feet in the seat next to him and lay out.
'I should text Drake and tell him I'm on the way.' Jacob thought 'Before I turn my phone off.'
Jacob took his phone out and began to compose a txt message.
To: Drake
We are about to be in the air.
Jacob sent the message then proceeded to turn his phone off. After turning his phone off, Jacob let out a big yawn. Now that he thought about it he didn't get too much sleep last night. He was too excited about today.
'Well I guess I can catch up on my sleep now.' thought Jacob.
Jacob then put his head on the window and closed his eyes.
"Now if you look to your left you will see your new home away from home." Jacob heard a voice say of the intercom.
Jacob lifted his head slightly off of the window. He was still coming to his senses from his nap.
"Quite a sight, eh? Our next stop is Academy Island. We will be landing in about 5 minutes. You can now turn your cell phones back on."
'Cool' thought Jacob 'let me text Drake and tell him I'm here.'
Jacob pulled out his phone and turned it back on. As his phone was turning back on he looked outside his window. He saw a large island with a volcano and a large forest covering a big percentage of the island. Jacob then realized the helicopter was moving closer and closer to the island.
"We are now landing on Academy Island. I hope you all have a wonderful school year." Said the pilot.
After the helicopter touched down on the landing pad the door of the helicopter opened up. All of the students on the helicopter started getting off and going to the back of the helicopter to the luggage area. Jacob walked off and began to go to the back to get his luggage. He picked up his luggage and began to head to the giant building with the 3 equal as giant, though different sized red, yellow and blue pillars.
"I see you're here" Jacob heard a voice say to the left of him.
Jacob turned to see Drake nonchalantly walk towards him, hands shoved in his pockets.
"You're not going to help me with this?" Jacob asked "I'm going to have to make a few trips to get all of my stuff."
"You look like you've got it under control. You don't need my help" said Drake coolly.
Jacob sweatdropped. "Gee thanks for the help."
"Do you know what dorm you're staying in?" asked Drake
"No I'm supposed to find out when I get in there." said Jacob pointing to the giant building.
"Well I'll watch your stuff while you're in there."
"And here I thought you were good for nothing." Said Jacob sarcastically
"Don't say anything when some of your stuff comes up missing." replied Drake icily
"Whatever, thanks man." said Jacob as he began to run towards the big building.
"Hey wait up." called Drake.
Jacob turned around to see what Drake wanted, only to find a duel disk being thrown at him which he caught effortlessly.
"You might need that."
"For what?" asked Jacob.
"You never know. Besides you won't get your Duel Academy one until you get to your room."
"Alright then thanks. I'll see you later." Jacob said as he put the duel disk in his backpack and took off towards the giant main building.
'Now that I think about it,' Jacob thought 'Where did he get this duel disk from? He didn't have it when he walked up to me.'
Once he reached the entrance doors, Jacob walked in. He noticed a large crowd right when he walked into the building that was hovering over the wall directly in front of the entrance. Jacob saw 3 sheets of paper on the wall where the crowd was congregated. Jacob pushed his way through the crowd to the papers. He looked and realized that papers had the names of new students in alphabetical order.
'So my name is most likely on the last paper.' Thought Jacob
Jacob pushed his way a little to the right to look at the names on the last paper. He looked on the paper until he saw his name.
Jacob White-Dorm: Obelisk Blue
'Obelisk Blue huh? Drake is in Ra Yellow. Maybe I can switch dorms. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.' thought Jacob
Jacob pushed his way out of the crowd and turned to look for where to head to next. He saw a few people heading down the hall to the left. So Jacob started to follow them. Once Jacob was around the corner he saw a group of people standing outside a door. People were walking in and out with different colored blazers.
'So this is where I get my dorm blazer at huh? Maybe I can get them to change my dorm here.' thought Jacob as he stood in line.
Jacob stood in line, as people continued to walk through the doors to get their duel blazers. Once Jacob got to the front of the line he waited to be called. He then saw a girl walk out of the doors with a yellow duel blazer (A/N: I know in the anime there aren't any girls in Ra Yellow or Slifer Red but come on…that's a little unreasonable to have ALL the girls in Obelisk Blue…but just so you know the Ra Yellow and Slifer Red girls dorms won't be that much different than the living conditions of the Obelisk Blue girls dorm.) and heard a prompt "Can the next person in line please enter" come from the doors.
Jacob walked through the doors and up to a woman with brown hair and light grey eyes sitting at a table (a/n: I don't really know what color eyes Ms. Fontaine (English dub name) has).
"Name please?" asked the lady sitting at the desk.
"Jacob White ma'am." Jacob replied
The lady then rolled her chair from behind her desk to a table slightly to the right of it with numerous red, blue and yellow duel blazers on it. She picked up a blue duel blazer. She took the blazer and stuck her hand out for Jacob to take, however he hesitated.
"Is there any way I could switch to the Ra Yellow dorm?" asked Jacob with a hint of hopefulness in his voice.
"Why would you want to switch dorms? You've done a truly remarkable feat by being accepted as an Obelisk Blue student as a freshman, not to mention you didn't attend Gates Academy Middle School (A/N: My name for the Duel Prep school…just go with it) which is where most incoming Obelisk Blue freshmen come from."
"Well" Jacob started "I have a friend who lives in the Ra Yellow dorm and…"
"Oh say no more, I completely understand" interrupted the lady with a smile on her face "It's natural to be nervous when coming to a new school. I'll get on your dorm change right away. Can you please wait here for a minute?" asked the lady
Jacob nodded and walked over to the table with the duel blazers on it. He pulled a chair out from under the table and sat down. The brown-haired lady rolled her chair back over to her desk and picked up her phone. She dialed a number and waited on line before briefly saying "Hello"
"Hello Chancellor Sheppard how are you?" Jacob heard the lady say.
"I'm fine thanks for asking" he heard the lady reply. "I have a question for you Chancellor. I have a young man named Jacob White who would like to switch from the Obelisk Blue dorm to the Ra Yellow dorm."
Jacob sat there eavesdropping on the conversation until he heard the lady say "Jacob, Chancellor Sheppard would like to speak with you." as she held the phone out.
Jacob, with a slightly confused look on his face, walked over her desk and took the phone out of her hand.
"Hello." said Jacob questioningly.
"Ahhh Jacob hello, how are you this morning?" asked Sheppard merrily.
"I'm well, how about yourself sir?" asked Jacob, still confused about the whole situation at hand.
"I'm great, especially since I get to speak to a student with such a bright future here at the academy. It's not very often we have applicants get a perfect score on not only the dueling portion of the exam but the written portion as well. I see you being at the top of your class Jacob."
"Thank you sir." replied Jacob
"Now Ms. Fontaine tells me you would like to switch to the Ra Yellow dorm. Before I say yes I would like to know your reasons behind this choice of yours. This isn't a request we get very often from students."
"I have a friend who lives in the Ra Yellow dorm and I believe it would help me get used to being here if I was around someone I already know." said Jacob
"Oh completely understandable." said Chancellor Sheppard as he chuckled over the phone. "If I may ask who is this friend of yours?"
"Drake Walker"
"Oh another exceptional duelist, although he's not the ideal student since the professors tell me he rarely comes to class" said Sheppard
Jacob sweatdropped at hearing about Drake's class cutting tendencies.
"Oh well, maybe hanging around you will get him into the classroom more often. Anyway I will allow you to switch dorms. It was nice speaking with you my boy. If you could please hand the phone back to Ms. Fontaine." said Sheppard
"It was nice talking to you too sir." finished Jacob handing the phone back to Ms. Fontaine
Jacob stood there and waited for the two adults to finish their conversation. Once Ms. Fontaine hung the phone up she turned to Jacob. She smiled at him and rolled back over to the table of duel blazers and grabbed a yellow one. She rolled back over to her desk and handed him a yellow duel blazer.
"Here you go Jacob."
'Thank you ma'am." said Jacob as he began to walk out the doors the entered earlier.
"I hope you have a great year here." the lady called as he headed out the doors.
'Does everyone say that here?' thought Jacob walking out the doors.
Jacob, with his duel blazer in hand, began to head back to the entrance of the school. Once he made it through the giant sliding doors and back outside he saw Drake leaning against a small monument. Jacob walked over to Drake and showed him the yellow blazer he had in his hand.
"You're not in Obelisk Blue?" asked Drake.
"I was but I asked to switch dorms."
"I don't know why you did that." said Drake indifferently "The Obelisk Blue students have the best dorms. Not to mention the best food."
"Well I wanted to have some fun so I decided I'd better hang around you." said Jacob
"Speaking of having fun" said Drake as he pointed behind Jacob "have fun with that."
Jacob turned around to see a mob of what looked to be a little over 200 girls behind him.
"Who are they?" asked Jacob nervously as he begin to back away.
"Fan girls." Stated Drake bluntly "And you might want to run."
"Run where?" asked Jacob
"Away." said Drake as he shoved Jacob to urge him to run.
Jacob then took off running away from the main building of the school and down the dirt path in front of him. He heard the screams of his fan girls behind him as he ran. Jacob ran along the dirt path for about 5 minutes realizing he was not having any progress with losing these girls. As he ran he realized he was approaching a forest.
'I can lose the girls in this forest.' Jacob thought.
Jacob dashed into the forest, moving swiftly around trees and bushes. He stopped for a split second next to a tree and looked up at the branch over his head. Jacob jump and landed both feet on the tree branch. (A/N: This will be explained later) As Jacob sat in the tree he heard the sounds of the mob that was chasing him grow fainter and fainter. Once the sound of the girls was gone from his ears he jumped down from the tree. Jacob decided it was best to put the blazer in his back pack since a bright, yellow jacket would be easy to spot from anywhere and wouldn't be smart to keep out if he was attempting to hide.
He looked in the direction of the dirt path he was just running on but instead started walking in the opposite direction. Jacob decided since he was in the forest he might as well explore. Looking up in the trees as he walked through the forest Jacob had never seen such majestic scenery. All of a sudden Jacob felt himself collide with something and fell to the ground. Just what he gets for not looking where he was walking.
Jacob got up and dusted himself off, looking to see what or rather who he bumped into. He saw a girl with long blonde hair, an Obelisk Blue duel uniform and blue mini-skirt getting up from the ground, dusting herself off. He also noticed she had a duel disk on her left arm.
'It's the girl I saw at the entrance exam.' thought Jacob.
"Sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going". said the girl who was checking herself to see if anymore dirt was on her.
The girl looked up at Jacob and he noticed she had the prettiest eyes he had seen.
'Wow she was pretty from far away,' Jacob thought quickly looking the girl over 'but up close she's just damn gorgeous.'
"No I should've been looking where I was walking." Jacob said nonchalantly.
The girl who was standing in front of Jacob started blushing when she looked him in the face; she quickly turned her head to the side.
"So what are you doing in this forest?" the girl asked, her head still turned to the side.
"I could ask you the same thing." replied Jacob.
"I'm minding my business, that's what I'm doing." said the girl defensively.
The girl quickly put her hand over her mouth as if she tried to stop any more words from coming out. Then she dropped her hands to her side and looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that." she said just barely louder than a whisper.
"It's cool. Obviously you have your reasons for being here. Anyways to answer your question I was running away from a group of fan girls. I really hope this doesn't turn into an everyday thing." said Jacob truthfully.
The girl laughed lightly and looked back up to face Jacob.
"So what's your name?" asked the girl
Jacob smirked when he heard the girl ask for his name.
'Why not have a little fun.' Jacob thought.
"Why should I tell you my name, if I don't even know yours?" asked Jacob.
"I asked your name first, so you tell me. Then I will tell you mine."
"Ladies first."
"I don't think that applies in this situation." replied the girl "Fine you won't tell me so I guess I'll call you Mystery Boy"
"Then I guess your name will be Pretty Eyes." said Jacob slyly.
The girl blushed at hearing Jacob's name for her.
'I have an idea.' thought Jacob.
"Well I've got an idea. Let's turn this into a game." said Jacob with a smirk on his face.
"What kind of game?" asked the girl.
"We'll both shuffle each other's decks and then draw the top card. The person who has the monster with the highest attack points wins. If either one of us draws a magic or trap card we both place the cards we've drawn at the bottom of our decks and draw again. Deal?" said Jacob reaching his hand into his pocket to grab his deck.
"Deal." agreed the girl.
Jacob and the girl exchanged cards and briefly shuffled the other's deck.
"You must be very confident in your deck to come up with game like this. One where we both only get one chance." said the girl, still shuffling Jacob's deck.
Jacob finished shuffling her deck before replying "My deck hasn't let me down yet. You must also be very confident if you agreed to it."
The girl finished shuffling Jacob's deck and they returned their decks to each other.
"Ready?" asked Jacob with a small smirk on his face.
"Ready."
"1…" said Jacob
"2…" said the girl
"3!" both of them said simultaneously. Both of them drew the top card of their deck.
Both of them stood in place, staring at each other with the anticipation that the other would speak. When neither one of them spoke after about a minute Jacob asked "Well what did you draw?"
"Nervous?" asked the girl, with a smirk of her own gracing her face.
Jacob let out a small chuckle before saying "No, I never get nervous."
"Oh really." Said the girl "Not even since there is a possibility you could lose?"
"Really."
The girl flipped her card around for Jacob to see a fusion monster. Cyber Blader, with an attack power of 2100.
"What did you draw?" asked the girl, her smirk returning to her face.
"This." Jacob said before flipping his own card to show the girl. The Red Eyes Black Dragon, whose attack points are 2400.
The girl's eyes widened slightly at the sight of Jacob's card, though she quickly regained her composure.
"I guess you won. Fine I'll keep my promise." Said the girl.
"So what's your name then?" asked Jacob, trying not to sound too anxious.
"Alexis Wheeler."
'Alexis...' thought Jacob 'That's a fitting name for someone like her. Wheeler? I wonder…'
"Is your dad Joey Wheeler, best friend of the King of Games Yugi Muto?" asked Jacob.
Alexis smiled and nodded.
"Yeah and you might've heard of my mom too. Her maiden name is Mai Valentine."
Of course Jacob knew who Mai Valentine was and he could've put two and two together to figure out that she was her mother. Jacob knew that her and Joey Wheeler were married; he had also heard that they had a son and daughter. Jacob just didn't think that daughter would be his age. Alexis looked very much like her mother with the long blonde hair, and the very curvaceous figure they both had.
"Yea everybody tells me I favor my mother more than my dad but they also say I have his eyes." said Alexis.
"I can definitely see why people would say that." Jacob said
Alexis smiled at Jacob, who in turn smiled back. The two of them then stood there, eyes locked, bodies still for what seemed like hours when in fact only a few seconds had passed. After a minute or so Alexis broke eye contact and turned her head away slightly (with what Jacob thought to be a small blush on her face).
"Well, I really have to get going." said Alexis, head still slightly turned away from Jacob. "I'm on the Obelisk Blue Welcome Committee and I have to go start getting things ready as well as rounding up the other members on this committee, even though the welcome parties don't start until 8."
"I forgot all about the welcome dinners. I hope the food is good." Said Jacob realizing that he hadn't eaten since breakfast and who knows what time it was now.
Alexis let out a light laugh at Jacob's comment before replying "Well I've heard all of the food is pretty good at the different welcome dinners. It just depends on which dorm you're in. Speaking of, which dorm are you in?"
"I'm in Ra Yellow" said Jacob as he took his backpack off to grab the yellow uniform jacket he put in there. He quickly put on the jacket but decided to wear it open. No need in wearing it with the button around the collar or zipping up the lower part for that matter.
"I hear the food is really great at the Ra Yellow dorms. I may have to eat in one of the cafeterias there." Said Alexis
"I think you just want another chance to see me." Said Jacob, his trademark smirk returning.
Alexis seemed to be caught off guard by Jacob's statement because she didn't have time to hide the blush that jumped its way to her face. Jacob now smirked inwardly at her reaction.
'She's cute. I wonder if she's single.' thought Jacob.
"Yea, well I really need to get going." Alexis said hurriedly, blush still on her face as she turned around to head back the way she came before bumping into Jacob. "I'll see you later…uhhh…"
"Jacob…White"
Alexis smiled and said "Yea, I'll see you later Jacob."
And with that Alexis walked off. Jacob looked at his cell phone to check the time. It was 3:39 and he still hadn't unpacked all his stuff. Hell, he hadn't even made it to his room. With this realization in mind Jacob decided to walk back the way he had come to leave the forest. Once he was back on the outskirts of the forest he took his phone out to call Drake. The phone rang 2 times before Drake picked up.
"What's up Jacob?" said Drake
"I need to know where the Ra Yellow guy dorms are."
"Where are you now?"
"Hell if I know." Said Jacob as he quickly surveyed his surroundings. "I can see what looks like a 2 story toolshed with a red roof on my right. It looks like it would take about 5 minutes to get there by walking."
"I know where you are, stay there. I'll meet up with you."
With that the line went dead (he could've said he was hanging up) and Jacob put his phone back in his pocket. As soon as he put the phone back in his pocket, what looked like a black and violet puddle of a mysterious liquid, surrounded by a small layer of mist of the same color right above it, appeared next to him. Drake rose out of the puddle, which disappeared promptly as he was fully surfaced on the ground.
"You have got to be more discreet with the use of your powers."
"Whatever." said Drake, hands in his pockets. "We're actually not that far from the dorms. Just follow me."
So Jacob followed Drake as they headed left from where they were just standing. They walked on the path for about 3 minutes until they came up to a rather large 3 story building(A/N: I know the Ra Yellow dorm is only one story in the anime and is not the biggest building in the world but just go with it).
"So what do you think of the school so far?" asked Drake as he pulled open the door to enter the Ra Yellow dorm.
Jacob, following Drake said "It's pretty cool. I didn't really get a good look at everything, you know, being on the run from fan girls. But from what I did see it's a really nice place."
"Hn." Replied Drake as he proceeded through to the lobby where he went to sit down on one of the couches. Jacob, still following Drake, sat down in a chair close to the couch Drake was sitting on.
"Our rooms are down that hallway." Drake said pointing behind Jacob, to a hallway on the west side of the lobby. "We're on the first floor. I think your room is across from mine."
"And mine is on the left of yours, Jacob." came a voice from behind Jacob. Jacob turned around to see James walking over to the chair he was seated in. "So if you need anything we aren't far, just come knock."
"James, what's up man? I haven't seen you in a while." greeted Jacob.
"I've been good and you're right it has been a while. Congrats on your duel against your proctor. Winning without losing any life points is impressive. I forgot how good you were at the game." complimented James.
"Thanks. Are you coming to the welcome dinner?" asked Jacob
"Of course. I want to meet the other Ra Yellow people in the dorm."
"I just want to meet the new Ra Yellow girls." Added Drake and he got off the couch "Forget the guys."
"Oh, it's a coed welcome dinner?" asked Jacob
"Yep," said James "the girls will be coming over here and it will be in this lobby and the main dining hall, which is over there."
James pointed to the east side of the lobby, opposite of the hall he just came from. On the right side of the huge lobby there were 3 hallways. The hallway James was pointing to was in the middle of the other 2. Jacob could see a few of the dining tables from where he was sitting, but decided not to get up in order to get a better view. It wasn't that pressing of a matter for him to get up from his seat (which is REALLLY comfortable).
"You'll probably enjoy the dinner." said Drake "To most of these girls, you're 'the hot, new guy who's friends with Drake and is REALLLY good at dueling.' Girls will be all over you."
"Speaking of fan girls, why don't you have any? I can't imagine you not having fan girls. When we used to hang together, women of all ages were throwing themselves at you." said Jacob
"I do. I have too many to be honest. But you're new and when you're new they chase after you. Literally. Once you've been here for a few weeks, they stop chasing you, and they just show up to support any duels you may have, or will try to partner up with you to study or practice dueling."
"I really hope they stop soon. I don't think I can keep all this running up." Said Jacob
"You've got to let the hype die down." interjected James "Enough about fan girls. We need to get you in your room. I'm sure you want to start unpacking and probably take a nap before the dinner."
Although he hadn't noticed it before, when James brought up taking a nap, Jacob realized how tired he was. Jacob nodded in response to James' comment.
"Well, let me show you to your room then." said Drake as he began to walk towards the hallway behind Jacob. "Your stuff is already inside."
With that Jacob got out his seat and began to follow Drake who was already walking away. Jacob gave James a head nod, signaling that he would see him later. Jacob followed Drake down the hallway until he got to room 147. His room wasn't at the end of the hall but it was closer to the end than it was to the entrance of the hallway. Drake opened the door, which was already unlocked and walked, with Jacob following suit. Jacob looked around his room. There were all his suitcases of luggage, his TV, and the rest of his things next to his bed (which was already made with his bed set.) He also saw a small key on a black lanyard with 'Ra Yellow' written on it with golden letters and a yellow duel disk.
"I'll leave you alone, so you can get settled. I'll come get you at like 7:45 or so for the party." said Drake.
"Cool. Later, Drake."
Drake gave a slight head nod and closed Jacob's door. Jacob immediately walked over to his bed and plopped down onto it. He looked at the ceiling as he lay on his back.
'Alexis Wheeler.' Jacob thought. 'Damn, she's so…so gorgeous. Note to self, never actually say the word gorgeous out loud.'
Jacob thought back to everything he remembered about his encounter with Alexis. Her long platinum blonde hair, her golden eyes, her angelic skin and a figure that God himself must have spent a week perfecting.
'I didn't ask her if she was single.' Jacob thought as he yawned. 'I hope she is…who am I kidding…a girl like that probably has a boyfriend. '
This was the last thing Jacob pondered before drifting off into a slumber.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Dude get up. It's 7:45"
These were the first things Jacob heard as he struggled to open his eyes. Jacob rolled over on his queen sized bed (seriously a queen sized bed. This was going to be a great year) and put his feet on the ground. He slowly got off his bed and began to stretch his arms. Rubbing his eyes in an attempt to wake up, Jacob walked into his restroom.
"I'll be out in a second." Jacob called out.
Jacob stood in front of the mirror. He ran his hands through his hair in an effort to fix (mess) up his hair. Jacob then fixed his Ra Yellow blazer he had been too tired to take off. He stepped out his bathroom, closing the door behind him. Jacob then walked over to his dorm room door and opened it to find Drake leaning on the door across the hall from him. Drake had one foot against the door with his arms folded and he nodded at Jacob, to acknowledge his presence. Drake then pushed off the door and motioned for Jacob to follow him. Jacob followed Drake down the hall until they reached the lobby. What Jacob saw in the lobby was far from what he was expecting to see. The lobby was PACKED with guys and girls, in Ra Yellow uniforms, talking. There was music being played, some people were dancing and some were drinking punch. Jacob looked at Drake with confusion.
"Didn't I tell you? The Ra Yellow welcome dinner is basically a party." replied Drake calmly.
"Man," said Jacob as he watched a girl with light brown skin, mid-back length violet hair and matching eyes walk by. The girl turned her head to face Drake and Jacob; she winked at Jacob and made a quick air kiss (smooching her lips) towards Drake. "I was not expecting anything like this."
"Hey, it's you." Jacob heard someone call. He turned his attention to a guy with long black hair and orange eyes making his way from across the lobby. The kid was rather chubby, so it was amusing to watch him try to squeeze between people. Once the chubby guy reached Jacob, he had a full grin on his face and threw his arm around Jacob's shoulder.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" yelled the guy who had his arm around Jacob's shoulder.
Everyone one in the room stopped what they were doing at the moment and turned their attention towards them.
'This is awkward.' thought Jacob.
"If you've talked to me anytime between now and the entrance exams, then you've heard me tell you the story about the kid who beat Ryu without losing any life points. Well," he said grinning even harder as he looked at Jacob "this is that guy. This is Jacob White and he is arguably the best incoming freshman male duelist. With him, Drake, James, Bastion and many of you other incoming freshmen guys and girls, we will take the Best Male and Best Female dorm title from the Obelisk Blues this year."
With this a loud cheer erupted from the crowd. The guy then took his arm from around Jacob's shoulder and turned to face him. He extended out his hand which Jacob then shook.
"My name is Adam, I'm an RA on the third floor. If you need anything man, just come find me I'll be glad to help you with anything."
Adam then turned his attention to Drake and said "Drake, you really need to stop skipping Crowler's class."
"Adam, you really need to stop skipping gym class." retorted Drake.
Adam furrowed his brows and a frown graced his face. He then turned around mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like 'arrogant asshole.'
Jacob tried to stifle a laugh at Adam's reaction; he obviously wasn't used to Drake or his personality. As the party proceeded on, lots of people came up Drake and Jacob. Guys who wanted to congratulate him on his triumph, girls who wanted to give him their numbers. It was actually more girls coming up to them than guys. The two girls from the check-in table at the entrance exam, Ami and Mary, came up and had a brief conversation with him. Maybe the fan girl thing wouldn't be that bad.
After Jacob's fan girl revelation, he heard a few wolf whistles from various spots around the lobby. Jacob and Drake both turned attention to the front door to see about 40 to 45 Obelisk Blue girls walk into the lobby.
"Hey ladies, welcome to the Ra Yellow welcome dinner. I'm sure we will be seeing some of you around a lot over the school year." called out a Ra Yellow junior, with spiky orange hair and blue eyes named Saru.
"Oh shut it, Saru." replied one of the Obelisk blue girls.
As the Obelisk Blue girls begin to phase into the crowd, Jacob caught a glimpse at someone who looked very familiar.
'Alexis.' thought Jacob as he looked at the girl from across the room. She was standing with two girls, one with crimson hair and another with black hair that was pulled into a ponytail.
The girl with the black hair went off to the dining hall (probably to get some food, but ehhh who knows).
"C'mon, let's go over there." said Drake. He must have realized where Jacob was looking. Jacob mentally kicked himself for being so obvious with his staring.
Jacob followed Drake through the crowd until he reached Alexis and her friend. Alexis and her friend were talking to another group of Ra Yellow guys; however, they all looked at Drake and instantly moved away. Drake then tapped Alexis on the shoulder, making her turn around with her friend following her lead. Alexis looked at Drake and gave him a smile and then turned her head towards Jacob.
"Hey Jacob." Said Alexis smile still gracing her beautiful face.
"Alexis." Jacob replied with a slight head nod.
The girl with the crimson hair looked between Jacob and Alexis with a look of confusion. She then asked "You two know each other?"
"We met earlier." replied Jacob, turning his head. "But we haven't been introduced, I'm Jacob White."
"Well I'm Jasmine Devlin." said the girl with crimson colored hair. "I've heard a lot about you Jacob. It's not every day you hear about someone beating Ryu at the entrance exams."
"Why is that?" asked Jacob
"Well for one, no applicant has ever beaten him in the entrance exams. It doesn't matter which exam deck he uses, he always wins. Don't get the wrong idea, he's by no means the best duelist in the school, but he is in the top 10." said Jasmine.
"I didn't know that." said Jacob.
"Anyway, congrats. You're definitely the talk of the school right now. You and that Slifer Red kid who beat Crowler. Although, I'm sure that was a fluke. No way Dr. Crowler loses to a student, much less one who got placed into Slifer Red."
"You give your chairperson way too much credit." said Drake nonchalantly.
"No one asked for your input, Drake." replied Jasmine sharply.
"Funny, you used to love input." replied Drake quickly "So answer this question for me, what are you doing here? Most of these girls are here to flirt or scope out potential boyfriends. But you already have a boyfriend don't you?"
Jacob saw Jasmine's face turn red at Drake's question. She stomped forward up to Drake and poked his chest extremely hard.
"What I'm doing here is none of your concern."
"Does your boyfriend know you're here?"
"Does it matter?" replied Jasmine still looking directly into Drake's face with irritation in her eyes.
Jacob saw Drake look at him quickly and then at Alexis.
"Let's continue this conversation elsewhere." said Drake as he reached for Jasmine's hand.
Jasmine retracted her hand from Drake's reach before he could grab it. She looked at him with a look of surprise and aggravation.
"I'm not going anywhere with you." said Jasmine defiantly. Jasmine then turned her head to face Alexis. "I'm going to see what food is left."
With that Jasmine turned to walk towards the dining hall. Before she could take her first step Drake said "I'll see you later." with a smirk that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Jasmine then scoffed and stormed away towards the dining hall. Drake then did a head nod towards Alexis and Jacob and left the two where they were.
"That was awkward." said Jacob "What's up with those two?"
"It's a long story and I actually don't know all of the details." replied Alexis "But I'm sure they'll deal with it on their own. So anyway how do you like the welcome dinner?"
"You mean the party? It's pretty cool actually, I was expecting you know, an actual dinner but this is way better." said Jacob.
"Yea it is pretty cool. It's a lot more fun than our welcome dinner." Said Alexis "So a few of the girls decided to come and check out the Ra Yellow party. We knew it was going to be way better."
"Didn't you say you were on the Welcome Committee? You just decided to leave your own dinner?" asked Jacob.
"Guilty as charged." said Alexis pushing her hair back behind her right ear.
"You know if you wanted to see me again, all you had to do was ask." said Jacob smirking.
"And how exactly would I be able to ask to see you again, Jacob?" said Alexis with her own smirk.
"Let me see your phone for a second." said Jacob
Alexis pulled her phone out of her purse and handed it to Jacob. Jacob then stored his number into her contacts and handed it back to her.
"You have my number now, so anytime you want to see me, just ask." said Jacob.
"Wow that's different." said Alexis.
Jacob raised an eyebrow to Alexis' statement. "Different how?"
"Most guys ask me for my number and I have to turn them down. But you took it upon yourself to give me your number. How do you know I want your number anyway?"
"I don't." said Jacob "But I'm pretty sure you're glad to have it. And what do you mean by 'have to turn them down'? "
"You know how guys are. I'm sure they'll go back to their friends and brag about how I was just dying to give them my number. Guys like to exaggerate the truth, you know." said Alexis
Jacob laughed at Alexis' reasoning. He knew that some guys probably would do exactly what she had said. But…
"I'm not most guys." said Jacob
"I can see that." said Alexis "And different isn't always a bad thing."
Jacob smirked, as he heard someone grab the microphone to speak. The music was cut off for a man in a long Ra Yellow jacket, with neck length, lead gray hair.
"Hello, everyone. For those who do not know me I will introduce myself. My name is Professor Sartyr and I am the head of the Ra Yellow male and female dorms. I know you all are having fun but it is 11:00. So I'm sad to say that the welcome dinner is officially over. I hope all of you freshmen, both from the entrance exams and from the start of the school year, feel like you are officially apart of the Ra Yellow family. Welcome to your new home."
Everyone in the room clapped after Professor Sartyr's speech. And little by little, people began to leave. Some guys headed back to their dorm rooms, some headed outside with all of the Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue girls.
"Well I guess I'll see you later then." said Alexis as smiled and turned around.
"Yea, don't forget to keep in touch."
Alexis looked at Jacob and said "Okay" with the most beautiful smile Jacob had ever seen.
He then watched her leave the lobby with Jasmine, her friend with the black hair and 4 other girls. Jacob started to walk back to his room. He noticed Drake with a girl an extremely pretty brunette. She looked older (maybe she was 17?) with hair that stopped right above her shoulders. She was batting her eyelashes seductively at Drake and Drake was just smirking. Jacob decided to just leave Drake to his business and continued back to his room.
Once Jacob got to his door, he unlocked it with his key, and closed the door behind him. He then went straight to his bed and dropped flat onto the mattress (seriously he was going to LOVE this bed). He turned over on his back and just stared at the ceiling.
'Man what a long day.' thought Jacob 'I can't believe how cool and chill everyone here is. This is going to be an amazing school year.'
Just then Jacob felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and checked it. Someone had just text him. He opened the text message to see
From: 404-832-1920
Hey Jacob, it's Alexis. Now you have my number so you better keep in touch. :)
Jacob smirked as he read the message. He then replied.
To: Alexis
I'll think about it.
Jacob then put his phone on the nightstand next to his bed. As he lay on his bed looking at the ceiling fan he realized something.
'Damn, I STILL haven't unpacked.' Jacob thought. He looked at his luggage from his bed and then lay his head back down.
'Forget it. I'll do it tomorrow.'
Change in POV – Jasmine
"Oh my gosh, there are SOOOOOOO many cute boys in the Ra Yellow dorm." said Mindy as she sat down on the stairs in the middle of the Obelisk Blue girls dorm lobby.
Jasmine plopped down next to Mindy on the stairs. Even though she had a boyfriend and that entitled no flirting with other boys, it didn't mean she couldn't look. Just because someone has a rose in their hands, doesn't mean they can't stop and observe the beauty of other flowers right?
"I know right. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when we walked in." said Ayumi, a sophomore about 5'5 with her blue hair in two long ponytails. Her eyes were the same color as her hair.
"That Saru guy I was talking to was pretty hot." said Nicole another sophomore with short purple hair and grey eyes. She was tall for a girl standing at about 5'10.
"Ughh strokeless Saru" chimed in another girl, a junior named Rina. Rina was 5'3 with long white hair and bright green eyes. "I talked to him a little while last school year. WORST. SEX. EVER."
The 12 or so girls around the stairs all laughed at Rina's comment.
"But he's actually kind of smart. You may want to get him to do some of your homework." added Rina.
Jasmine sighed before saying "I wish I had a boy to do my homework."
"I'm sure there are a few Ra Yellow boys who would be glad to do someone like you a favor, Jasmine." replied Seika Kohinata (actual person from the manga), a brunette with hair down to an inch above her shoulders, with shimmering wolf grey eyes. "Just lead them on for a while."
Jasmine shot a look of suspicion at Seika, not entirely sure what she was implying. Seika, noticing the look she was getting from Jasmine, shrugged her shoulders and continued talking.
"But the best looking guy there was Drake. You freshmen are so lucky, you get to see him for 4 whole school years." said Seika
All of the girls in the group, except Jasmine, let out a uniform, dreamy sigh out.
"I'm convinced that Drake is the human embodiment of the word perfect." said Brittany a freshman redhead, whose hair was in a messy bun and her librarian style glasses over her brown eyes.
Jasmine inwardly scoffed at Brittany and her description of Drake. She was glad he wasn't here to witness any of this. His ego didn't need to get any bigger.
"Speaking of Drake," Rina said "Seika I noticed you and Drake disappeared for a while during the party. Care to explain?"
Jasmine, hearing this, immediately shot her attention to Seika, who smirked and shrugged her shoulders once again.
"It was nothing serious. He took me back to his room and we made out."
All of the girls squealed in excitement at Seika's revelation. Jasmine however, shot her a look of contempt.
"How was it?" asked Rina.
Jasmine rolled her eyes. She really didn't want to hear about this right now.
"Let's put it this way. He kisses just as great as he looks." said Seika, an arrogant smirk on her face.
Jasmine had had enough of this. She looked at her phone and checked the time. It was 2:37 AM. She had somewhere to be in a few minutes. She got off the step she was sitting on and started to walk towards the door that led outside.
"Where are you going Jasmine?" asked Seika, her tone laced with curiosity.
"Out for a walk. I'm not tired enough to go to sleep." Jasmine replied curtly.
"Don't be like that Jasmine." said Seika. This statement caused Jasmine to raise an eyebrow. Don't be like what exactly?
"Just because we're talking about Drake, who happens to have some issues with your boyfriend Chazz, doesn't mean you have to dislike anything associated with Drake. Disliking someone because your boyfriend doesn't like them, is kind of petty."
Jasmine gave Seika a look of utter disbelief. She thought she didn't like Drake because of Chazz? Seika thought she was being petty? Jasmine had enough of Seika for one night. She ignored Seika's comment and continued out the lobby of the girls' dorm.
'Who does that slut think she is?' thought Jasmine as she walked briskly (because of her anger) towards the docks on the lake. 'She has no idea what she's talking about.'
Jasmine continued to walk until she reached the docks by the lake. Then she turned and began to walk along the edge of the lake until she got to the trees of the forest on the right side of the lake. She walked through the trees, following the path she had taken so many times before. She stopped once she reached a small clearing, of no more than probably than 5 yards in diameter. She leaned against a tree on the edge of the clearing and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Jasmine waited for about 15 minutes before a portal of dark mist appeared in front of her. Out of the door of darkness came Drake, dressed in a white muscle shirt, black basketball shorts and his black and yellow Converses. Jasmine couldn't help but notice how the shirt he wore accentuated his toned, muscled body. All of that training was more beneficial than Drake would ever know.
"You're late." said Jasmine crossing her arms and looking at Drake with annoyance.
"Got lost."
"Really? You're not going to even try to come up with a better lie?" asked Jasmine.
"Nope." Replied Drake putting his hands in his pockets. Jasmine watched Drake walk over to a tree next to the one Jasmine was leaning on. He started to lean against that tree. Then he looked at Jasmine.
"Come over here."
Jasmine scoffed in annoyance but got off the tree she was leaning on and went over to Drake. When she got over to where Drake was, she felt him pull her towards her. She fell into him, her hands on his chest. Jasmine could feel all of the wonderful muscles in his chest and body. Then she felt Drake slide his hands down her sides and onto her hips. Jasmine looked up to meet Drake's red eyes.
"Why do you put on that act in public?" asked Drake.
"What act?" asked Jasmine innocently.
"The act where you pretend to be disgusted with me."
"It's not an act. I really can't stand you." said Jasmine
"Really?" asked Drake.
Jasmine felt Drake's hands move from her hips to under the hem of her shirt. Jasmine jumped slightly as she felt Drake's cold hands touch her skin. Drake moved his hands slowly up her shirt, until he got to her stomach.
"If you can't stand me, why are you here? At 3 in the morning." replied Drake with a smirk.
"Shut up." said Jasmine, not wanting to look Drake in the face, in fear that he might see the blush on her face.
Drake pulled her closer and moved his face down closer. Jasmine felt him move his mouth to her left ear. She then heard him say in a low voice "Answer the question."
Drake then nipped at her ear, sending an involuntary shudder of pleasure throughout Jasmine's body. She then felt Drake's mouth kissing her neck, softly and slowly, from her behind her jaw to her collarbone and back up. Unable to hold back the pleasure she was feeling, Jasmine let out a moan that seemed to echo throughout the forest. She mentally kicked herself for allowing Drake to make her body react in this way.
"Why are you here, if you can't stand me?" asked Drake again.
"It's not you I can't stand." Jasmine said truthfully "It's your attitude. You're so arrogant. You were never like this before. I just…I just want my friend back."
"Hn." Drake replied moving his right hand further up Jasmine's shirt until she felt his hand tapping on her bra strap. Drake then moved his lips onto Jasmine's and began to kiss her slowly. Jasmine tried to push herself away from Drake but his hold on her was too strong. Eventually, she stopped fighting Drake and began to relax and kiss him back. Jasmine moaned in Drake's mouth as they battled for dominance. Jasmine, felt Drake run his tongue against her lips, asking for access. Reluctantly, she granted it to him as she opened up her mouth. With their tongues, dancing around each other, Drake's right hand began pulling on her bra strap. Jasmine broke the kiss off at this.
"No way" said Jasmine.
"It's not the first time, I've played with the B cups." said Drake with a smirk. "Of course, back then they were A cups."
"We are in a forest, where anyone could see us. I am NOT letting you take off my bra."
"Either you take off your bra and leave your shirt on, or leave your bra on and take off your shirt." said Drake.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Ordering me to do something like that." replied Jasmine.
"Do you want me to choose?" asked Drake, completely ignoring what Jasmine said.
"You know what?" asked Jasmine as she used all her strength to push away from Drake. She then slapped Drake so hard, so loudly it made the birds in the forest fly away. "I'm sick of you manipulating me."
Drake, whose head was still turned sideways from the slap he had received, put his hand over his cheek. He then slowly turned back to face Jasmine.
"You came to see me yesterday, the day before, the day before that, and every other day. Just admit that you like me and that's your reason for always meeting me here. Don't hide behind a lie." said Drake.
"Whatever." Jasmine said again fixing her shirt and walking away from the tree that Drake was leaning against.
"Don't be mad because you know I'm right." said Drake. Jasmine began to storm off until she heard Drake call out.
"Wait." said Drake. Jasmine stopped and turned to face Drake. Drake held his right hand out in front of him and spread his fingers (like he was telling someone to halt). Another portal of darkness, much like the one Drake came out of earlier, appeared. "It will be faster to get back to your room this way."
Jasmine looked at the portal reluctantly but decided to step through it. She went towards the portal and walked through it. She was in complete darkness for no longer than the blink of an eye, before she was back in her room.
'I have to stop doing this.' thought Jasmine.
Jasmine walked over to her nightstand and placed her phone down. Then she went into her bathroom and turned on the light. Jasmine looked in the mirror and noticed a red mark on her neck. A hickie.
"ARRRGGGHHHH! Damn it Drake." Jasmine groaned. Jasmine turned off the lights in her bathroom and stomped back into her bedroom. She grabbed some sleep clothes and began to change.
"Stupid bastard, putting this stupid hickie on my neck. I'll kick his ass the next time I see him." said Jasmine angrily as she put on her sleep clothes. Jasmine jumped into her bed and got under her covers. She grabbed her phone from her nightstand. She opened up her text message app and started to type a message.
To: Drake
You're a bastard. A hickie, really?
Jasmine sent the message and angrily set her phone back on her nightstand. In a matter of seconds her phone vibrated. She took the phone and saw she had a text message.
From: Drake
Hn.
Jasmine read the message and let out a groan of irritation. She put her phone back on the nightstand and rolled over in her covers.
'Hn, huh? Bastard.' thought Jasmine as she slipped out of consciousness and into her dreams.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF THE STORY. ONCE AGAIN I'M SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE.
