Second Chapter :D This time, it's around Jesse's reaction to the ball... or at least half of it would... Maybe the ball will happen this chapter?

On To The Story!

Jesse and Jaden were figuring out new duelling strategies, when they heard Crowler calling for them.

"You two!" He said, out of breath. "What is it Crowler?" Jaden asked, turning his head. "Chancellor Sheppard wants one of you give this to Blair Flannigan..." He threw a piece of paper at us, which failed.

Jesse walked over to the paper, and stared at it. "What's this?" He asked. "An invitation to the Duel Academy's ball." Crowler explained. "Ball? Why a ball, I thought this was a dueling academy." Jesse asked.

"Well, it starts out as a ball... then an hour or two to 9 PM, we start... Oopsie! That's a secret!" Crowler said, covering his mouth.

"Well, okay... Who else is invited?" Jaden asked, picking up his cards. "The best students at Duel Academy. Sadly, you are invited, slacker." He said, crossing his arms. "Wow, thanks, Crowler!" Jaden said, scratching his head.

"The new students at Duel Academy are invited... Oh yeah, please deliver these to the new ones." Crowler threw a bunch of paper, before running off.

Jaden and Jesse bent down to pick up everything. "Theres Axel... Jim... and the rest of the group... And that guy, Adrian Gecko is invited... "Jesse said, looking at the invitations.
"Well, let's start giving them out... I'll take half." Jaden said, taking half of the invitations.

"See you'." Jesse said, walking off to the first dorm... The Slifer Red dorm.

Jesse walked over to the dorm, and sweat dropped. He went around, until he saw a Slifer Red. "Hey, do you know where Blair's room is?" He asked. The boy pointed to the top floor. "The fourth from the left."

"Thank you!" He said, before going up the stairs. He knocked on the fourth floor, and dropped the invitation, before running off.

For some reason, he didn't feel comfortable knocking on a girls' room.

A few seconds later, he heard someone scream; "IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO GREET THE PERSON BEHIND THE DOOR, WHY KNOCK?!" Jesse let out a soft chuckle, before going to the next dorm.

The Next Day...

"Did you deliver all the invitations?" Jaden asked, as he, Jesse, Syrus and Hassleberry grouped up. "Yup." Jesse answered. "You mean these?" Syrus asked, taking out an invitation. "Yeah..."

"I think I know what Crowler's little secret was... The invitation said we had to bring our duel disks!" Jesse said, smirking. "Really? That's amazing," Hassleberry said.

"I mean Jesse!" A voice was heard. Jaden looked over to his Winged Kuriboh, who said something in his ear. "Hey Jesse, I heard your name... It sounded feminine." Jaden said.

Everyone looked around, and saw no one. Unfortunately, they weren't looking in the right direction. Soon, the four boys saw Blair and Cindy.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Hassleberry asked. "Well let's find out." Jaden suggested. Everyone fell over.

You can't just ask a lady what they're talkin' about! They'll probably yell or somethin' for listenin'." Jesse said.

"So? Let's go." Syrus said, suddenly gaining a boost of confidence.

Jesse stayed back, although he was curious about why his name was called.

He hid behind a tree, listening to their conversation, even though he felt guilty.

"Cindy! Shut up! Someone might-" He heard Blair say. "Oh, hey guys. What's up?" He heard the other girl say. Jesse mentally facepalmed himself. 'The boys actually went?' He thought to himself.

"Oh, our friend was curious-" Jesse bit his lip, and listened to the silence. "Well, we were curious why you called out Jesse's name." Hassleberry finished.

Jesse turned red. "I TOLD YOU!" Blair yelled. Jesse sighed. "Oops, sorry..." She mumbled. "It's fine. But Cindy here can explain..."Syrus started. Blair turned to glare at the boys. "If you tell a single soul, I will literally rip off your balls!" She threatened.

Jesse covered his mouth, to suppress his laughter.

"Well, I think Blair has a crush on Jesse..." Cindy whispered. Jesse froze, and looked over to them again.

"Crush? Like how she had one on me and Zane once?" Jaden asked, pointing to himself. "No, like a real one! Blair isn't 6 you know! She's 16!" Cindy yelled. 'One year younger than me...' Jesse thought.

"Okay, okay... Explain further please?" Syrus asked, rubbing his ear. "Well, earlier this morning, me and Blair were going to pick something up at our friends' dorm. Then we bumped into Jesse. She went through fifteen minutes of blushing, after Jesse offered to help her up." Jesse was now frozen to the spot, and blushing.

The boys kept quiet. "Wait until we tell Jess-" Hassleberry started. "Remember Blair's threat... She will do it, and unless you want a sex change, I suggest you listen to her." Cindy said, before smiling and running away. Jesse got back to normal, and laughed quietly.

Jesse slowly went back to the three boys. "Hey, I'm back... Uh- Ruby wandered off into the forest. So, what'd I miss?" He asked. "Uh..." Jaden, Syrus and Hassleberry mumbled.

"What? Are you keepin' a secret from me? Don't tell me... you really talked to those girls?" Jesse asked. "What... No!" Jaden said, his voice going way higher than it should be. "I reckon you did." Jesse said, crossing his arms.

"Well..." They started, before running off. Little did Jesse know, Blaire was watching.

Jesse shrugged, before walking off to a cliff. When he got there, he noticed it was the same one where Jaden dueled Axel when he first got there. He sat near the tree, and lied down, closing his eyes, and resting his hands behing his head.

He heard shuffling, and opened one eye. "So, you are alive." A voice said. Jesse opened both eyes, and saw Blair, hovering above him. He blushed remembering what Cindy had said. "Yup. What are you doing here anyway?" He asked, sitting up, once Blair leaned back.

"I wander around campus sometimes." Blair said, sitting pretzel style. "Well, I just walked around. I'm new to the island, anyway..." Jesse said, giving her a lopsided grin.

"Oh! Are you invited to the ball tomorrow?" Blair asked, pulling something out of her pocket. "Yeah. All new students are invited..." Jesse said, looking up. Blair followed his gaze, to see a cloud.

She giggled. The noise rang through Jesse's head. "What?" He asked her. Blair only pointed up. "That cloud... It looks like one of your monsters..." The image of Sapphire Pegasus flashed through Blair's mind.

"Yeah... It looks like Sapphire Pegasus!" Jesse smiled at the sky, while Blair stood up. "Well I should get going-" Jesse stood up, when he heard Blair scream.

He looked over to her, and saw that she was hanging off the edge of the cliff. "Jesse!" She yelled. "Help me!" She cried out again, when one of her hands slipped.

"Okay, one second..." Jesse took her remaining arm, and tried to pull her up. "Give me your other hand!" He said, reaching out to it. She was about to grab his hand, when her hand started to slip.

"Just breath, Blair! I'm gonna help you! Just grab my hand..." He reached out again, and grabbed it. He managed to pull her up, but in result, falling back.

Blair closed her eyes, waiting for the impact. When she fell, she felt warm. When she opened her eyes, she looked up, and saw Jesse, leaning on his elbow.

Then she realised it, when she saw his blush.

She landed on him...

She scurried off of him, muttering out quiet apologies. "I am so sorry, Jesse. I- ah... I'll see you tomorrow..." She ran off, leaving Jesse there, blushing and confused.

They both had similar thoughts.

'Is it bad that I liked that feeling...'

End!

Sucky ending. Well, I guess I didn't get to the ball yet. Wait until next chapter!

Well, at least there is more BlairxJesse moments xD

Love you!
