Jaden's POV

Alexis took Mel off on a tour of the Obelisk Blue dorm, Mindy and Jasmine tagged along. Blair took off shortly after that. The rest of us went to the Slifer Common Room AKA Chazz's room.

(A/N: I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's Chazz's room or the common room! I read it's the common room and Chazz's bedroom. Someone confirm for me what it is please!)

Jesse and I sat on the ground, leaning against the wall next to a sofa. Adrian and Chazz were off arguing somewhere. Chazz started it FYI. Axel was…doing something. He looked like a bat though. Chazz wasn't thrilled when he saw what Axel did to his ceiling. Syrus and Haselberry were arguing over what to put on the TV. Bastion and Aster were over on the other couch, not the one Jesse and I were next to, talking about some professional duel they saw recently. Jim was trying to calm down Haselberry and Syrus, Shirley just sat…err…laid on the ground behind Jim. I looked at Jesse. He appeared to be thinking.

"Something bugging you Jesse?" I asked. Jesse jolted a little bit, like I just ripped him from some other train of thought. He looked at me.

"No, why?" He asked. I could tell he was lying. I cocked an eyebrow.

"Really?" I pressed. Jesse bit his lip, and then sighed in defeat.

"It's just…" Jesse began. I couldn't tell if he was hesitating telling me or if he was trying to pick the right words to say.

"Go on." I urged. Jesse sighed.

"That cough…" Jesse whispered softly. I understood what he meant. Mel's cough, just before Alexis took her off on the tour. It didn't seem that out of the ordinary to me.

"Mel said it was just a little cough." I reassured. Jesse looked at me.

"Did you see Marron in her bag?" Jesse asked me. I thought a moment. I didn't actually get a good look at Marron.

"No, I didn't. Why?" I asked, looking back at Jesse.

"He looked worried, scared even." Jesse said. Ruby appeared around Jesse's shoulder. I couldn't tell what she did but Jesse seemed to relax after whatever Ruby did.

"GIVE ME THAT CONTROLLER PRIVATE TRUESDALE!" Haselberry screamed. Jesse and I peaked out around the couch to see what was going on. Syrus had the controller and was hiding behind Jim, who was trying to protect Syrus from getting killed by Haselberry. Bastion and Aster looked at this and sighed. Chazz and Adrian were only god knows where. Axel was standing next to Aster, finished with his…training.

"Haselberry! Syrus!" I said. Haselberry stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me. Syrus looked at me. I smiled. "Chill out guys. Just switch to the dueling channel. There's bound to be a duel on right now." Syrus and Haselberry's gazes met. Then they shrugged and Syrus flipped the channel. Jim looked at me dumbfounded. I smirked and leaned back against the wall. I noticed Jesse shrug. I think Jim wanted to know what I did. Hehe, I loved doing that. Jesse leaned back against the wall too. He immediately went into deep thought mode again. Winged Kuriboh popped up on my shoulder.

Kuri Kuri Kurri. Winged Kuriboh whispered into my ear, so only I could hear it. He said, (Jesse's worried about Mel's cough. Make him think about something else.) That's Winged Kuriboh for ya, the flying happy maker. I sighed but did what Winged Kuriboh said.

"Hey Jesse?" I said. Jesse looked at me, confused at why I was calling his name.

"What is it Jaden?" He asked. I could tell he just really wanted to think.

"You really shouldn't worry about Mel." I said. I think Jesse blushed when I said that.

"I'm not worrying about her Jaden." Jesse said. I looked closer at him. He was definitely blushing.

"Jesse, are you…blushing?" I asked, not believing it. That did it. I could really tell Jesse was blushing now because his blush only got deeper.

"N-no! Of course not!" Jesse said loudly, waving his arms in front of his face. "W-why would I be?" Jesse asked. I smiled at this.

"Jesse, has Mel enchanted you?" I asked devilishly. I thought Jesse was red before but when I asked that, he put my Slifer blazer to shame with how red he was.

"Wh-wh-what in the world are you talking about!" Jesse screamed. Everyone in the room was looking at us now. It was totally obvious, even to someone like me. Okay, not really. I mean, right now it was but I wouldn't have known he was thinking about Mel if it wasn't for Winged Kuriboh.

"Dude, she's got you bad." I whispered so only Jesse could hear me. His eyes widened but he didn't try to deny it, this time. He slumped back against the wall, his face still redder than my blazer.

"Is it that obvious?" Jesse asked, scarcely a whisper. I smiled as I slumped back against the wall next to Jesse.

"I wouldn't even know it if Winged Kuriboh didn't tell me you were thinking about her." I whispered. Jesse looked at me, half smiling.

"That makes me feel a WHOLE lot better." Jesse said sarcastically. I chuckled a bit.

"Jesse, what is it really that enchants you about Mel?" I asked in a whisper. Jesse looked at me confused.

"Where did you even hear the phrase?" Jesse asked. I shrugged.

"I can't remember. I think my dad told me it when he gave me the birds and bees talk." I said, trying to remember. Jesse chuckled a bit. I looked back at Jesse. He seemed less tense than before.

That's good. I thought. Then Jesse's face fell. Oh no…

"You never answered me." I pressed. Jesse looked at me, a half croaked smile on his face.

"I really don't know what it is Jay. It's just something. Something about her." Jesse said, looking up into the air. "Even before she came and talked to us, that feeling was there."

"Hmmm…I'm not really good at all this romance stuff." I said. Jesse looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Really? I didn't know." Jesse said sarcastically. I pulled out my cell phone.

"I could help you though." I offered. Jesse cocked on eyebrow at me, confused.

"How so?" He asked. I smiled.

"I could call the 'Master of Love'." I said, trying not to laugh. Jesse looked at me very confused.

"Who the hell is that?" Jesse wondered. I just smiled bigger.

"Atticus." I said.

Jesse's POV

I could feel my eyes get wider after Jaden's "offer".

"NO FUCKING WAY!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, jumping to my feet. Everyone in the room turned toward me. Bastion, Aster, and Axel from the couch on the other side of the room, Syrus, Jim, and Haselberry from the floor in front of the TV, and Chazz and Adrian from the railing behind Bastion, Aster, and Axel. Jaden started laughing at my reaction.

"What the hell is all this about?" Jim asked, standing behind me. I spun around and looked at Jim.

"Nothing Jim. Jaden's just trying to…ahhh…." I began to say. Jim raised his eyebrow, waiting for my answer. Jaden was still on the ground laughing. Then, the door to the room slammed open. Jaden stopped laughing abruptly and sat up on the ground. We all turned and looked at the door. Mindy and Jasmine jumped into the room.

"Some party this is." Mindy said, disappointed. Chazz walked over to her.

"I didn't know we were having a party." Chazz said. Jasmine looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Of course we're having a party silly!" Jasmine said. Alexis walked into the room behind them.

"Chill out girls. We weren't even having a party." Alexis said. Mindy and Jasmine looked at her.

"Everyday's a party Lex!" Mindy said. Jasmine nodded. Alexis sighed.

I think a party would be a wonderful idea. Marron's voice called from next to me. I whipped my head toward the ground at my feet. Jaden was also looking there.

"Marron!" We both said in unison. Marron looked up at me.

Hello. Now about that party… Maroon began. But then the voice of an angel cut him off…

"I'm actually not in the mood for partying." Mel said. I spun around and saw Mel standing next to Alexis.

"Good, because there isn't going to be one." Chazz said in a diffident tone.

"Alright, fine." Mindy and Jasmine said together in defeat. "No party today." Chazz nodded.

"Good." He said. They both looked at each other and smiled.

"But we are SOOOOO having one on Friday!" Jasmine screamed. Mindy nodded. Then she gasped. We all looked at her.

"I know I'm going to regret this but I just gotta ask, what are you thinking Mindy?" Bastion asked. He was standing next to Chazz now. Mindy smiled…evilly?

"We'll have a SLEEPOVER!" Mindy screamed. Jasmine looked at her wide-eyed.

"YES! BRILIANT MINDY!" Jasmine shrieked in agreement. We all just stood there, staring at the jumping Obelisk girls.

"A sleepover?" Mel questioned. Mindy and Jasmine looked at her.

"Yes! It will be a great time for us to get to know you better Mel! OH! It's perfect! We can all catch up from the long summer break!" Mindy said. Marron scratched the back of his ear with his hind leg.

A sleepover sounds like the perfect social affair for us to get to know our new friends Mel. Marron said. He had trotted back over to Mel and was sitting down by her feet. She looked down at him.

"I don't know…" She whispered.

Come on Melanie! Live a little! Marron said, jumping up toward Melanie's chest. She caught him out of habit. She sighed in defeat.

"Well, I guess a sleepover wouldn't be so bad." Mel said. Mindy and Jasmine shrieked louder.

"I guess I don't see the harm in it." Alexis agreed. Mindy and Jasmine looked at her. "Yes, I'm coming." The whipped around and looked at the rest of us.

"Sure, sounds like fun." Jaden said. He was standing next to me.

"Yeah, I'm in." I said. Mindy and Jasmine were bouncing up and down from excitement. They looked over at everyone else. I don't think anyone had much of a choice.

"I guess." They all mumbled in unison. Mindy and Jasmine shrieked.

"This is going to be great!" They said. Then something hit me. Friday night…

"We can't do the party Friday." Mel and I both said at the same time. Everyone looked at us shocked. Mel and I looked at each other, more shocked.

"Alright, I'll bite. Why can't we have the party Friday?" Jasmine asked.

"Because, the freshman duel is that day." Mel and I again said in unison.

"Alright, that's just starting to get creepy." Jaden said, pointing at both me and Mel.

Indeed. Marron said. Mindy and Jasmine looked at me and Mel.

"Yeah, you're right. That totally slipped my mind." Mindy said.

"But Saturday works for me." Mel and I said, again, in unison. This was starting to get really creepy.

"Can you guys teach me how to time with someone like that?" Jaden asked, sounding impressed.

"We're not trying to talking in unison Jay." I said. Mel nodded in agreement.

Yet you two seem to be doing so well. Marron said. Mel glared down at him.

"Does Saturday work for everyone?" Jasmine asked.

"Yeah, Saturday's fine." Everyone said, not in unison. They more mumbled it.

"Alright then, Saturday it is." Mindy said.

xXx

Jaden's POV

Mindy and Jasmine skipped down the steps and sat on the couch next to the one Bastion, Aster, and Axel were sitting on. Chazz, Adrian, and Jim were sitting on the ground next to the couch. Syrus and Haselberry were sitting in front of the TV, arguing over which pro was gonna win. Mel and Alexis walked over to us. Mel's arms were cradled to hold Marron.

"That was really creepy what you two did just now." Alexis said sitting down on the couch that Jesse and I were sitting next to. Mel shrugged and sat down next to her.

"It was weird, I guess." Mel said. Jesse and I sat down on the ground in front of the girls.

"I can't believe I forgot about the freshman duel." I said, almost ashamed of myself. "Who's dueling?" I asked. Jesse and Alexis shrugged.

Mel is. Marron said. Jesse and I both looked at Mel, who was shooting death glares at Marron.

"You are?" Jesse asked. Alexis looked at Mel. Mel nodded.

"Yeah and take a guess at who my opponent is." Mel challenged. Alexis didn't have to think.

"That Meg girl?" Alexis offered. Mel nodded.

"She just can't wait to 'clean the floor with my life points' or something like that." Mel said. We all looked at her confused.

"Clean the floor with your life points?" Jesse repeated, confused. Mel looked at him a smiled.

"She can't think of any really good intimidating lines." Mel said.

"Apparently so." Alexis said. I looked at Alexis. She crossed her legs and leaned back against the back of the coach, her arms folded across her chest. Something seemed different about Alexis. I couldn't put my finger on it but something was definitely different about her. I found myself incapable to tear my gaze away from her. My brain told me to look away, that it was rude to stare, but something else, something stronger, said that to look away from something so beautiful should be a crime of the highest penalty. I followed that voice. Alexis noticed I was staring at her.

"What is it Jay?" Alexis asked perplexed at why I was staring at her. I snapped back to reality. I felt heat flood to my face. I looked at the ground.

"Nothing." I said. I could tell she was looking at me confused. I refused to look up because I knew that if I did, I wouldn't be able to tear my gaze from her again.

What the hell was I just doing! I thought furiously to myself. Winged Kuriboh popped into my head to answer my question.

Kuri. He said, which means. (It's called checking her out Jaden.) My eyes widened at this.

Why would I be checking out Alexis? She's like, my best friend! I thought. Winged Kuriboh had an answer to that too.

Kurri Kuri Kur (Feelings change Jaden, it happens)

Feelings? I questioned.

Kurrri Kur Kur (Your feelings toward Alexis are changing.)

To what? I asked.

Kuri (Love)

xXx

Jesse's POV

Jaden was quiet for awhile after Lex asked him what he was staring at.

"Hey, Jesse?" Mel's voice broke into my thoughts. I looked at her. She was leaning closer to me from the coach. Marron was curled up in her lap.

"Yeah?" I asked. Mel bit her lip, thinking about what to say. I waited.

Mel wants to know if you're doing anything tomorrow night. Marron said, looking at me from her lap. Mel looked down at Marron.

"Marron!" She hissed. Marron smirked. I looked at both of them, shocked. I shook off my shock.

"No, I'm not." I said. Mel looked back up at me, her eyes in shock.

"Really?" She asked, as if I was lying. I nodded.

"Yes, of course. Why would I need to lie?" I asked. Mel shook her head.

"I didn't think you were lying Jesse. I just wanted to make sure." She said. I looked at her.

"Well, yeah. I'm not doing anything, why?" I asked. Secretly I knew, or at least hoped I knew, what she was going to ask. She hesitated again.

She wants to know if you'll show her around the campus. Marron said again. This time Mel didn't glare at him. Instead, she gripped his muzzle. I looked at her confused. Her chocolate brown eyes were so entrancing…

"Jesse?" She said my name. I snapped out my daze and looked at her.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Do you?" She asked again. I think she was blushing a little. It took me a minute to realize what she was asking. Her eyes made me lose my train of thought. Maybe Jaden was right, maybe Mel was enchanting me.

"Yeah, sounds like fun." I said. Mel smiled a huge smile. I was sure Mel could hear my heartbeat increase. Then she suddenly started coughing, just like earlier today. She released Marron's muzzle and covered her mouth with her right hand. Her left hand supported her body. Marron shot to his feet and looked at Mel with frantic eyes.

"Are you alright?" I asked, frantic myself. Mel nodded but was still coughing.

"Just…fine." She said between coughs. I don't know what possessed me to do what I did next but man, I was lost.

My right hand reached out to Mel and began rubbing her back, trying to subside the coughs. I couldn't tell who was more shocked, me, Mel, or Marron. Mel's coughs subsided just a minute after I began rubbing her back. She looked up at me. I was still rubbing her back. She gave me a weak smile.

"Thanks." She said hoarsely. I removed my hand from her back and sat down on the ground next to the coach.

"You should take some medicine." I said. Mel nodded.

"Probably." Mel said her voice was still hoarse. I looked at her.

"Want a glass of water?" I asked. She nodded. I got up and went to retrieve the glass of water.

xXx

Jaden's POV

Jesse disappeared to go get Mel a glass of water. Maybe Jesse was right. Marron freaked out when Mel began coughing. What could it mean?

"Jaden?" Alexis' voice broke into my thoughts. I looked at her. She was looking at me closely.

"Yeah Lex?" I asked, trying not to "check her out" again. She got up from the coach and sat down on the ground next to me. She cupped her hand around me ear and whispered into my ear.

"Did you see what Jesse did when Mel started coughing?" She asked. I thought a moment. Then I remember. Jesse started rubbing her back.

"Yeah, why?" I asked. Alexis whispered into my ear again.

"Why did he do that?" Alexis asked me. I smiled, I knew why Jesse did. She removed her hand from my ear and looked at me confused.

"I don't think Jesse will forgive me if I tell you why." I said, still smiling. Alexis cocked an eyebrow.

"Really?" She asked. Jesse wasn't the kind of guy not to forgive someone.

"I wouldn't forgive me." I said. That was enough for her. She shrugged and leaned against the back of the coach in defeat. I looked at her. Her arms were folded across her chest again. She wasn't looking at me. She was looking at the TV, watching the duel. Again, I found myself incapable to remove my gaze from her. She was just…just…I can't describe the way Alexis looked right now.

Some things different about Alexis. What is it? I thought to myself, still staring at her. Winged Kuriboh popped into my brain again.

Kuri Kurri Kur (Alexis hasn't changed at all Jaden.) He said. I cocked an eyebrow.

What are you talking about? Of course she's changed! I mean, just look at her! I screamed at Kuriboh.

Kur Kurri Kuri (No Jaden, you look at her.) Kuriboh said. I looked at Alexis closer. She DID change but I couldn't figure out what changed about her.

Kur Kuri Kurri (You're so stupid Jaden. Alexis hasn't changed at all about her. YOUR feelings for her HAVE changed)

What are you talking about Kuriboh?

Kuri Kur Kurri (Don't play stupid with me. You're starting to love Alexis.)

I felt my face heat up a bit when Winged Kuriboh said that.

N-no I don't! I stammered in thought. I think I heard Kuriboh laugh.

Kuri (Yes you do.)

No. Alexis is only my friend. My friend ONLY! I screamed.

Kur Kuri Kur (Look at Jesse Jaden.) Kuriboh commanded. I looked over at Jesse, with difficulty I might add. Looking away from Alexis to Jesse I mean. Jesse was sitting on the ground, talking with Mel. She was holding the glass of water Jesse brought back, laughing. Jesse was smiling.

What about him Kuriboh? I asked.

Kuri Kurri Kurr (You said Mel was enchanting Jesse.) Winged Kuriboh stated. I sighed.

Yes Kuriboh, I know that but what does this have to do with me checking Alexis? I asked.

Kuri Kurr Kuri Kur (What if Alexis is enchanting you now?) I didn't reply. I just sat there, staring into space. Kuri (Jaden?) I shook of my shock and asked Kuriboh a question.

Why the hell would Alexis suddenly be "enchanting me"! She never has before! I screamed.

Kuri Kur (Because your feelings are changing.)

Why are they changing now! And they're not changing! I screamed.

Kuri Kur Kurri Kurr (Jaden, you can deny it all you want but you're falling in love with Alexis) Winged Kuriboh stopped talking after that, leaving me wondering about what he just said.

I'm…falling…in love…with…Alexis! I thought. I looked at Alexis; she was still watching the duel. I looked at Jesse and Mel. They were talking about tomorrow night. I looked down at the floor.

Some things changing this year. Something…

xXx
