Jaden's POV

Tuesday Afternoon

I groaned as I stretched my arms across the desk. Jesse chuckled next to me. We were in Crowler's class and we just finished a test. Now we were sitting there listening to him lecture on about spell cards, trap cards, and monster effects.

I folded my arms across the desk and rested my chin on my arm. Jesse smiled at me and then rested his elbow on the desk. He rested his head on his hand and listened to Crowler rant. I rolled my head over to look down the desks.

Mel was sitting in her seat on the opposite side of the isle. She was actually taking notes on Crowler's lecture! Hmmm…maybe that's why he likes her so much…

Then something hit me. I sat up in my seat and looked at Jesse. Jesse turned to look at me, startled by my sudden movements.

"Jesse, if there was something going on between you and Mel, you'd tell me, right?" I asked. Jesse blinked once. He seemed both confused and startled by my question.

"Of course Jay, you're my best friend," Jesse answered. I smiled and nodded. Jesse knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. "Why are you asking?" Jesse asked. I shrugged and leaned back in my chair.

"It's just that you and Mel have seemed…" I struggled to find the right word.

"We've seemed what?" Jesse asked. I turned my head and smiled at him.

"Flirtatious," I concluded. Jesse's cheeks turned a light pink. I chuckled.

Suddenly, Jesse leaned forward in his seat and looked off past me. He smiled. I turned my head and followed his gaze.

Mel was leaning forward in her seat and looking at Jesse. She mouthed something. I couldn't understand her because I wasn't able to read lips.

Apparently Jesse could however, because he chuckled and then mouthed something back. Mel could read lips too, 'cause she giggled and leaned back in her seat. Jesse leaned back in his seat with a smile on his face. I followed in suit.

"Flirtatious," I repeated in a teasing tone. Jesse looked up at me, still smiling.

"Shut up," He whispered back. I snickered.

"Mr. Andersen, could you please tell me the solution to this situation?" Dr. Crowler asked. Jesse and I looked back at the board. Crowler had written some super long situation about dueling…and I didn't understand one word of it.

"Activate your face down magic card, Lighting Vortex, and then attack with your Jinzo," Jesse answered after a moment. I blinked and re-read the situation. Nope, still no clue!

"Correct Mr. Andersen, as I knew it would be," Dr. Crowler praised. Now why couldn't he be that nice to me? He erased the situation and began writing another one. Jesse sighed and leaned forward in his seat. He smiled again. I sighed and looked to see him and Mel mouthing back and forth again. When they leaned back, Jesse was chuckling.

"Mr. Yuki! Give me the answer to this situation!" Crowler demanded. I read the situation and it was even more complicated than the other one. Jesse chuckled at my clueless expression.

I swear, if Jesse gets any jollier, he'll be jollier than the fat guy in the red suit that brings presents to all the good little boys and girls. What was his name again? The Easter Bunny?

xXx

After being completely embarrassed by Crowler in front of the entire class, the bell finally rang. I stretched my arms over my head and looked up at Jesse; he was already standing up and shrugging on the one strapped book bag his parents sent him.

"So classes are done for the day. What are we going to do today?" I asked him. Jesse shrugged. I stood up and pulled my arm across my chest.

"I vote for just hanging out," Mel offered. She was walking over to us, Alexis following her. The rest of the gang was at the door waiting. Mark was standing outside the door talking to Michael.

Dr. Crowler wouldn't let Mark come into the room during the test and Mark was less than pleased by it. But he eventually gave into Crowler and left…with a huge bruise on his arm from Mel smacking him and telling him to leave. It was actually very entertaining.

"Hanging out sounds good to me," Alexis agreed. I smiled and nodded.

"Hanging out it is!" I said. We walked down the steps and joined the rest of the gang at the door.

"Starlit Seaside Dance?" Syrus questioned, reading the name off of the banner than hung in the hall above the ticket sales table. Bastion nodded.

"Apparently that's the theme to this years dance," Bastion concluded. I nodded.

"Pretty good theme," Jim said. At the table sat three freshmen Obelisk Blue girls. One of them looked up and saw us. I recognized her as the girl from the beach the other day. May I think was her name.

May smiled when she saw us. She jumped up from the chair and mumbled to the girls with her that she'd be right back. They nodded at her. May walked around the table and ran to us. She glomped Mel, who gagged as May landed on her.

"THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MEL!" May squealed. Mel tried prying her off of her but May wasn't moving.

"May, if you hug me any tighter I'm going to break in half!" Mel exclaimed. May made a little "oh" sound, and then pulled away quickly. May's face was painted red.

"Sorry," May mumbled embarrassed. We laughed quietly at her.

"You were saying?" Mel asked. May's blush quickly vanished. She smiled at Mel.

"I was just thanking you for your idea for the dance!" May exclaimed. Axel looked at Mel.

"You came up with the theme?" Axel asked. Mel shrugged.

"We were on the beach and I knew the dance would be held at night so I just kinda fit together," Mel explained. Axel nodded.

"Well, we got permission from Chancellor Sheppard and the dance is going to be held on the beach!" May exclaimed.

"That's good," Mel said.

"So Mel, who are YOU going to the dance with?" May asked devilishly. Mel blinked once.

"Me? No, I'm not going to the dance," Mel answered. May's jaw fell.

"You've GOT to be kidding me!" May exclaimed. Mel rolled her eyes.

"Yes, that's exactly it." Mel walked over and leaned in to whisper in May's ear, "I'm actually going with the Easter Bunny," Mel said, loud enough for the rest of us to hear. We laughed as May's face turned into a scowl.

"Very funny Mel," May said with a dry voice. Mel smiled.

"I thought it was," She said. May sighed.

"Seriously Mel, you're not going to the dance?" May questioned.

"Seriously May, I'm not going to the dance," Mel explained.

"Why?" May pressed. Mel sighed.

"I don't dance," Mel replied flatly. May blinked once in shock. She shook her head to get rid of her shock.

"Oh, well, okay then. Thanks again for the theme!" May thanked Mel once more time then ran back to the table. Mark looked at his sister curiously.

"Why aren't you going?" Mark asked. Mel rolled her eyes and looked at her brother.

"Weren't you just listening?" Mel asked, "I don't dance." Mark frowned.

"But you're so cute when you dance!" Mark exclaimed. Mel groaned and dropped her head into her hands. We laughed at her. Alexis walked over to her and placed her hand on Mel's shoulder.

"I sympathize with you," Alexis said. Mel laughed into her hands, and then she suddenly started coughing. Then she stopped. Mark looked ready to grab her and dart off to the infirmary.

Mel pulled her head out of her hands and smiled at Alexis. Alexis smiled back. Mel stood up straight.

"Are you going to the dance Alexis?" Mel asked. Alexis shook her head.

"No, I don't dance much either," Alexis explained. Mindy and Jasmine stared at the two of them in shock.

"You guys have got to be kidding me!" Mindy exclaimed. Alexis sighed and Mel rolled her eyes.

"You know, I'm not much of a dancer myself," Bastion interjected. Syrus nodded.

"Yeah, neither," Syrus said. Mindy and Jasmine were still in a state of shock.

"Well, why don't we all just skip out on the dance?" I offered. Everyone looked at me. "I don't dance much either so I wasn't going to go." Jesse nodded.

"Sounds good to me," Jesse said. Eventually everyone agreed to just skip out on the dance, much to Mindy and Jasmine's disappointment.

Tuesday Night

Jesse and I sat in my dorm later than night. Syrus and Hassleberry were in the showers so Jesse and I had the dorm to ourselves. I figured it was the time to ask about what happed on the beach on Friday.

"Hey Jesse?" I called to him. Jesse was lying on his stomach on my bed reading a magazine. He looked over at me. I was laying on the floor going through my cards.

"What's up Jay?" Jesse asked. He flipped his magazine over. I rolled onto my side and faced him.

"What was up with you and Mel on the beach on Friday?" I asked. Jesse looked at me confused.

"Nothing was up, I just made sure she was okay," Jesse explained.

"You're lying," I said. Jesse shook his head.

"I'm not lying Jay," Jesse said. I looked him square in the eye.

"Promise?" I asked. Jesse sighed but nodded.

"Promise Jay," Jesse said. I smiled and nodded. I laid back down and Jesse went back to reading his magazine.

"You know," I said after a few minutes of silence.

"Hmm?" Jesse said without looking over at me. I chuckled.

"Mark looked like he was about to go into 'super-ultimate-protective-brother mode'." I laughed. Jesse started laughing with me. We didn't notice the eerie yellow colored eyes looking in at us from the window.

3rd Person POV

Mel sat on her bed reading The Host. Her chestnut hair was damp and pulled up into a ponytail. She was dressed in matching white cotton pajamas. Glasses sat on the tip of her nose as her eyes darted across the pages. Marron was curled up at her feet sound asleep.

Suddenly, the window by her bed blew open with a cold gust of wind. The room was suddenly freezing. Mel jumped as the panels of the window slammed against the wall. Marron jumped up on the bed.

Wha…what's going on? Marron asked groggily. Mel set her book down on the table by her bed. She patted Marron on the head.

"Shhh, nothing happened Marron. Just go back to sleep," Mel whispered. Marron yawned and fell back on the bed. He curled into a ball and fell right back to sleep. Mel stood up from her bed and stood in front of the window. Her arms were folded across her chest; her eyebrows were pulled together as she stared at the window in confusion.

"I could have sworn I locked this…" Mel whispered to herself. She shrugged into off and then grabbed the panels. She closed the window and latched it securely. "Maybe I'm just imagining locking it."

In the darkness, just under the trees, blood red eyes appeared. The eyes stared up at Mel. She pulled the curtains of her window together, shutting out the darkness of the night. The light glow behind the curtain vanished as Mel turned off the lights and went to bed.

A growl rumbled through the air.

Soon, soon, what we lost shall be reclaimed. You will not get away this time. A bone chilling voice said. Another growl rumbled through the air as the eyes disappeared into the night.
