Jaden's POV

"Miss Little?" Dr. Crowler called Mel's name during his class the next day. I actually stayed awake this class because we were talking about world famous duelists. Mel stood up in the Obelisk Blue section.

"Yes Dr. Crowler?" She asked politely. Crowler looked up at her.

"What is Yugi Moto's most famous card?" Dr. Crowler asked.

"Actually Dr. Crowler, you mean to ask me, 'What are Yugi Moto's most famous cards'" Mel corrected. Crowler cocked an eyebrow.

"Cards?" He asked. Mel nodded.

"Yugi Moto is most known for his Egyptian Gods but he is also equally known for his Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. Some duelists even know him for his Kuriboh card. Also, some duelists who are aware of how Yugi Moto actually defeated Seto Kaiba in their very first duel know Yugi for his Exodia. But I believe the answer you were looking for Dr. Crowler is the Egyptian God cards." Mel said. Everyone in the room looked at Mel, dumbfounded. That Meg girl glared at her and slide down in her seat.

"Very well put Miss Little." Chancellor Sheppard said as he walked into the room. Mel sat down. Everyone looked at him.

"Chancellor Sheppard, why have you graced my class with your presence?" Crowler asked Chancellor Sheppard, confused. Chancellor Sheppard walked over to Crowler and stood next to him.

"I came to introduce a new transfer student to the class." Chancellor Sheppard said, smiling. Everyone looked at him confused.

"A new transfer student?" Syrus repeated, confused. Chancellor Sheppard looked at him and smiled.

"Yes. Please come in now." Chancellor Sheppard said. Then a boy about a half a head taller than me walks in. He has dark blonde hair and green eyes. He was wearing long, dark pants and a grey shirt underneath his Slifer blazer. I heard Mel gasp from the Obelisk section. The new kid stood next to Chancellor Sheppard who put his right hand on the kids left shoulder. He looked at all of us.

"Hi! I'm Michael Angel." The new kid said, his green eyes glowing. He looked at each section, like he was looking for someone. When his gaze fell on the Obelisk section, his eyes started glowing brighter. Then he started waving towards the Obelisk section. Everyone looked back and Mel was sinking into her seat, her face covered with her left hand.

"Michael, please take a seat next to Jaden Yuki." Chancellor Sheppard said. He looked at the Slifer section. I waved my hand in the air.

"That's me." I said. He nodded and walked over to the open seat next to me. I looked back over in the Obelisk section and looked at Jesse. He looked…sad. I felt bad for him. Michael sat down next to me.

"Hi." He said. I looked over at him. He was beaming a smile at me. I smiled back.

"Hey." I said. Chancellor Sheppard smiled.

"I'll leave them all in your capable care Dr. Crowler." Chancellor Sheppard said. Crowler nodded. "Jaden?" Chancellor Sheppard called my name. I looked up at him.

"Yeah Chancellor?" I asked.

"Please escort Michael to his next classes, would you?" He asked. I nodded. Then he left the room. Dr. Crowler went back to lecturing us about world famous duelists. I wanted to pay attention but something was nagging at the back of my mind. I looked over at Michael who was paying attention to Crowler.

"Hey, Michael?" I whispered so quiet Crowler couldn't have a hope of hearing me. Michael did though and he looked over at me.

"Yeah Jaden?" He asked, confused. I hesitated before asking.

"When you waved at the Obelisk section, who were you waving too?" I asked. I already knew who he was waving to though but I just wanted to make sure.

"Melanie Little." He said. I was right.

"Is she…your girlfriend?" I asked, regretting it almost instantly. This wasn't any of my business. I liked Mel only as a friend; hopefully Michael wouldn't think I liked her more than that.

Kurr Kuri (Like you like Alexis more than a friend.) Winged Kuriboh chimed in my head.

Right, just like I like Alexis more than a friend. I thought back, smiling. Then it hit me what I just said…err…thought. WAIT! NO I DON'T! I screamed in my head. I think I heard Winged Kuriboh snicker but nothing more. Michael was looking at me.

"My girlfriend?" He asked, confused. I nodded. I think he was trying NOT to burst into laughter. I looked at him confused.

"Is she?" I asked. He shook his head, still trying not to laugh.

"She's a good friend of mine. I transferred here because I found out she was going here." Michael said, laughing on the verge of his voice. I felt immensely better when he said that and I think it showed on my face because he looked at me confused. "You don't want to date her, do you?" He asked. I looked at him in shock.

"No!" I screamed in a whisper, if possible. "I was just curious." I said. Michael got the point and looked back at Crowler. I looked back at the Obelisk section and looked at Jesse. He still looked upset about this. I had to wait till class was over to tell him. As if on cue, the bell rang, dismissing everyone. Michael and I stood up.

"What's next?" He asked. I looked at him.

"This was the last class for today." I said. He nodded. "Wait for me in the hall would you? I have to talk to a friend of mine." Michael nodded and walked into the hall. Syrus walked over to me.

"Coming Jay?" He asked. I shook my head, still looking at Jesse who was at the way end of the mob heading for the door.

"Go keep an eye on Michael for me, would ya? I need to talk to Jesse about something important." I said. I saw Syrus nod and head towards the door.

I worked my way through the back way of the crowd, toward Jesse. He saw me coming toward him and started walking toward me. We met each other half way. By now, we were the only two left in class. We turned and started heading for the door.

"What is it Jay?" He asked in a whisper.

"Michael." I said. I looked at Jesse, his face looked depressed the second I mentioned Michael's name.

"What about him?" He asked, the sadness showed in his voice.

"He isn't Mel's boyfriend." I said in a whisper. Jesse looked up at me. I couldn't tell if he was shocked or happy that I told him that information.

"How do you know?" He asked.

"I asked him. I wondered why he was waving at Mel and that was the first thing that came to mind. He said he's just a good friend of Mel's and that he transferred to our school because he found out Mel was coming here." I said. Jesse nodded and I could tell he was relieved.

xXx

Jesse's POV

Jaden and I walked out of Crowler's room. I felt, I don't know, relieved, when Jaden told me that Michael wasn't Mel's boyfriend. When we walked into the hall, Alexis was the only one there.

"Where is everyone else?" Jaden asked Alexis.

"Michael ran off after Mel. Syrus ran after him saying you told him to keep an eye on him. Everyone else ran after Syrus." She said. We started walking down the hall.

"Michael ran off after Mel?" I repeated, confused. Alexis looked at me.

"Yeah. She walked out of Crowler's room and walked right by him. He ran after her because he needed to talk to her." Alexis said. We walked out of the building. Chazz was standing there waiting for us.

"What's up?" Jaden asked.

"Everyone already ran over to the Slifer dorm so I decided to wait here for you." Chazz said. We headed toward the Slifer dorm.

"Why did you decide to wait for us?" I asked, confused.

"Because, I don't wanna listen to Mel yell at Michael like she was when he caught up with her." Chazz said.

"She was yelling at him?" Alexis asked. Chazz nodded. "Why?"

"She said he shouldn't have waved at her like an idiot in front of the entire class." Chazz said.

"Well, I'm with her there." Alexis said. By now we were at the Slifer dorms. We walked into the Common room/Chazz's room. Mel was sitting on the couch with Marron curled up in her lap, she was reading a book. Michael was across the room staring at her, terrified. Syrus was standing there waiting for us. Mindy and Jasmine were off in the corner planning the sleep over. Blair was sitting on the ground watching the TV with Jim and Shirley. Adrian, Axel, and Aster were talking about some professional duelists. Haselberry was talking with Bastion about duel monster strategies next to the door.

"What's up with Michael?" Jaden asked.

"Mel was really mad at him." Syrus said. We closed the door and walked down the stairs to sit on the couch next to one Aster, Axel, and Adrian were on. Mel looked up from her book when I passed her and smiled. I smiled back.

"I would be too. For Christ sakes! He was an idiot." Alexis said. Michael knew Alexis was talking about him.

"It's been years since I've seen her. I was just happy." Michael said. Alexis rolled her eyes.

"Michael…" Mel said. He looked at her, frantic eyed.

"I said I was sorry!" He screamed. Mel smiled.

"I know. I just love doing that to you." She said. Michael gave a nervous chuckle. Jaden and Alexis walked over to Michael and I walked back over to Mel and sat down next to her.

"You love doing what to him exactly?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled.

"Oh, just random things that make him scared of me." She said. Marron looked at me from her lap.

That's just how "nice" she is. Marron said sarcastically. Mel kicked up her right leg, causing Marron to roll off her lap and onto the floor. He sprawled out on the floor at impact. He looked at me from the floor. See what I mean? He asked before he fell unconscious. I looked at Mel. She was glaring at Marron.

"Stupid dog." She muttered.

"I kinda see his point though." I said. She looked at me, shocked I was agreeing with Marron. Then she looked away and began to think. Then she shrugged.

"To a point." She said. She looked back at me. "Anyway, we ready to go yet?" She asked. I thought a moment.

"I'm ready when you are." I said. She stood up.

"Then lets go." She said. I nodded and stood up. Marron was to his feet and ran over and began following us. I opened the door and Mel walked out. I closed the door, catching a few confused stares. I think I saw Jaden smirking in the corner.

xXx

Jaden's POV

Jesse and Mel just left with Marron in tow. Everyone looked at the door confused for a minute till Chazz broke the silence.

"Where did those two go?" He asked.

"That's what I would like to know." Michael asked. I smiled. I knew what was going on. Jesse told me last night.

Flashback

Jesse and I were in my dorm, looking through our decks. I looked at Jesse whose mind seemed to be elsewhere. Syrus and Haselberry were off in the showers.

"Hey Jesse?" I asked. Jesse looked up at me.

"Yeah Jay?" He said.

"What were you and Mel talking about? I heard you say something about tomorrow night." I said. Jesse looked at me and smiled.

"You heard that did you?" He asked. I nodded. He sighed. "Mel asked me to give her a tour of the campus." Jesse said. I smiled.

"I'm sure you were thrilled she asked you, right?" I asked. Jesse glared at me.

"Knock it off Jay. Syrus and Haselberry could be back any minute." Jesse hissed. I shrugged.

"Fine." I said. We went back to looking through our decks in silence.

End Flashback

"Do you know what they're doing Jay?" Alexis asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at her. Everyone was looking at me.

"Why would you think I know?" I asked, confused.

"Because you're smiling like you know a secret." Alexis stated. I thought a moment.

I'm smiling like I know a secret? I questioned myself in thought. Winged Kuriboh popped into my thoughts…again. Man, he's really gotta stop doing that.

Kur Kurri Kuri (Alexis can read you like a book Jaden. Get used to it.) I sighed. Then I looked back at Alexis who was looking at me confused.

"Mel asked Jesse to give her a tour of the campus today. That's what they're doing." I said. Everyone looked at me. Michael jumped to his feet.

"Well, I might as well catch the tour as well. I'm new here too!" Michael said. He started running toward the door. I extended my left leg in front of his path. He tripped over my leg, fell on the ground, did a summersault and crashed right into the wall. He sat up and looked dazed for a moment. Then he shook his head and looked at me confused.

"What was that for Jaden?" He asked. He sounded confused with a hint of anger in his voice. Everyone was looking at me again.

"I don't think neither Mel nor Jesse would appreciate a third wheel." I stated. He looked at me confused.

"Third wheel?" He repeated confused. I sighed exasperated.

"Jesse's giving Mel the tour. Not you AND Mel. Just Mel." I said. He still looked confused but Alexis caught on.

"Just leave Jesse and Mel alone Michael. You'll get a tour soon." Alexis said. I nodded.

"I'll give you one tomorrow after classes." I said. He frowned but nodded. Then he stood up and walked over to the TV and sat on the ground next to Jim. He then began talking about the duel that was TV right now. I looked at Alexis who was looking at me.

"What?" I asked. She smiled at me.

"What exactly is going on between those two?" Alexis asked me. I shrugged.

"No clue." I said. She looked at me, not believing a word I just said.

"Liar." She said. I sighed. Winged Kuriboh popped out of nowhere and floated between me and Alexis.

Kuri Kur Kurrri Kur (The same thing that is happening between you and Alexis.) Winged Kuriboh said.

"Is not." I said to Kuriboh. Alexis looked at me.

"Is not what?" She asked. I shook my head.

"Nothing." I said. She sighed and looked back at the TV. Winged Kuriboh flew over to me and glared at me.

What! I thought, knowing he'd hear me.

Kur (Nothing) He said. I sighed and looked at the TV. Chazz and Aster are fighting over which pro is gonna win the duel. What a shocker there!

xXx

Jesse's POV

Mel and I walked past the forest about 2 hours after we left the Slifer dorm. I already finished showing her around campus and now we were just walking around talking. Marron was following at Mel's feet.

"This place is huge compared to HereRosé academy." Mel said. I looked at her.

"You went to HereRosé academy?" I asked, shocked. She nodded.

"My older brother is a teacher there. I had to go there because my parents travel everywhere for work." She said. I looked ahead.

"You have a brother?" I asked. She nodded.

"His name's Mark. He's actually pretty cool, as far as older brother's go." She said. We found a bench next to the woods we were walking by. We sat down the bench. I looked at Mel. Marron jumped into her lap.

"What do your parents do that keep them traveling?" I asked. Mel shrugged.

"I honestly don't remember. Mark told me a few times but I always dismissed it. I never saw it as important. Now I wish I did know what they did." Mel sounded a little upset when she answered. I decided to stop talking about her parents.

"So, about Michael…" I began. Mel interrupted me with a groan.

"Please don't start with him." She said. I looked at her confused.

"Why?" I asked. She looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Michael is an old family friend. He's my brother's best friend's little brother. He's just a few months older than me and we practically grew up together. He went to HereRosé academy with me and when he graduated three years ago, went off to an academy. I stayed at HereRosé with my bro because I didn't feel like going to any academy yet. That's…" Mel would have rambled forever if I didn't cut her off by placing my index finger to her lips.

"I get it Mel. You don't need to tell me your entire history with Michael." I said. She smiled under my finger and pushed my hand away.

"Sorry. Guess I got a little worked up." She said. I looked at her. She sighed. "Alright, a lot worked up." She corrected. I smiled and looked up at the night sky. It was perfectly cloudless. All the stars were out and the full moon was our only light. We were far from any dorm. It was nice and quiet.

"Jesse?" Mel said, breaking the silence. I looked her. She was looking at me.

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, perplexed. Mel shook her head and looked away.

"Nothing." She mumbled. I cocked an eyebrow. I was half expecting Marron to jump into the conversation now. I looked down at him. He was curled into a ball, sound asleep. I sighed and looked back at Mel who was staring at the stars like I was a few moments ago.

"Mel." I said. Mel looked at me.

"What is it Jesse?" She asked.

"What were you going to ask me just a few moments ago?" I asked. As soon as I did, Mel turned her face away from me.

"I told you, nothing." She mumbled so quietly I almost missed it.

"Liar." I said. She looked back at me, half smiling. I smiled back. "What is it?" I asked again. She bit her lip, not wanting to answer.

"We should get back to the dorm. I'm sure Michael is driving everyone over the edge right now." Mel said, standing up. She held Marron in her arms. She was obviously trying to avoid the conversation I just started. She turned on her heels and started walked towards the Slifer dorm. I stood up quickly and grabbed her arm. I spun her around so she was facing me.

"I think they can handle Michael for a few more minutes." I said quietly. She shook her head.

"I don't think so. Michael can get rather annoying." She said.

"We have Chazz to deal with. I'm sure that they can handle Michael." I said. Mel looked at me.

"You're not going to let go of this are you?" She asked me. I shook my head. She sighed.

"I was just going to tell you …" She began. She hesitated.

"Go ahead." I urged. She shook her head.

"I can't." She whispered.

"Can't what?" I asked.

"I can't tell you." She said.

"You can tell me anything Mel." I said. She shook her head and mumbled something so quietly I couldn't hear it. I pulled Mel back to the bench and sat down. I pulled her down so she was sitting next to me. I pushed Marron out of her arms so he was sitting on the bench next to Mel. Mel wasn't looking at me.

"Mel." I said. She looked at me. "Tell me, please." I begged.

"Jesse, I can't." She whispered. I have never been more confused in my whole life than right now.

"Mel…" I began but she cut me off the same way I cut her off earlier, by placing her index finger on my lips.

"Jesse, please. I really can't. I'm sorry I brought it up." She whispered. I grabbed her hand with mine. Now I had both of her hands.

"No Mel, you CAN tell me. You just don't WANT to." I said.

"What's the difference?" She asked.

"There's a huge difference Mel. Please, you CAN tell me." I begged. She shook her head. "Don't do that. I'm not going to let this go." She looked me in the eye. Her eyes looked like she was in pain.

"Please…" She begged. I shook my head. She looked away from me. "I don't know what to say Jesse." She whispered.

"Just say it. I don't care how. Just so I understand." I said. She looked at me.

"That's the problem Jesse. You can't understand, no one can!" She screamed. She ripped her hands from my own so fast it stung. She jumped to her feet and started running toward the Slifer dorms. I jumped to my feet and ran after her. Marron stayed asleep during this entire ordeal.

xXx

Mel's POV

I ripped my hands from Jesse's. It stung my hands and I knew it stung Jesse's. I jumped to my feet and took off towards the Slifer dorm, completely forgetting Marron on the bench.

He'll find me. I thought as I ran. I heard Jesse running after me. Please let this go Jesse…please…I begged myself in thought. It was dark and I couldn't see very well. I didn't see what was on the ground in front of me till it was too late. I tripped on a branch and fell to the ground. I landed on my knees, my hands in the dirt. If felt something wet land on my hands. I realized I was crying. Not because I just fell but because of what I didn't want to tell Jesse.

xXx

Jesse's POV

Mel didn't look back at me once. Suddenly Mel fell down on her knees, her hands in the dirt. Her head looked down at her hands. I ran faster and slide down so I was knelling next to her.

"Mel, are you okay?" I asked frantically. She nodded. I grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. She refused to look at me. I gently placed my left hand on her face and turned her towards me. I felt something moist underneath my hand and when I turned Mel to face me, I noticed she was crying.

"Mel, what's wrong?" I asked. She shook her head. "You can't tell me, can you?" She nodded.

"I really want to Jesse but I just can't. I don't know how to make you understand." She said. "I just wish you would let it be." Suddenly, I felt sick with myself. I can't believe I was doing this just to find out what she didn't want to tell me.

"I'm sorry Mel. I shouldn't have pressed. I don't know what came over me." I said. She looked at me.

"No Jesse, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought the subject up if I couldn't tell you." She said. I whipped her tears in her left eye away with my thumb.

"Why were you crying?" I asked. She looked down at the ground.

"I don't know." She whispered. I looked away from her. My hand still remained where it was. "Jesse?" Mel said. I looked at her. She was looking at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I'm really sorry. I know I shouldn't have brought it up. I don't know what made me bring it up. I knew I wouldn't be able to tell you yet something told me I should but I still couldn't and I still can't. I want to, I really do but I just…" Mel rambled. I cut her off. But this time, not with my index finger. I don't know what possessed me this time but I'm actually glad it did. I stopped Mel's rambling by placing my lips on hers.

I knew Mel was shocked at first but what she did next shocked me. She kissed me back. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I moved my left hand behind her neck. We stood like that for about a minute till we finally broke apart. I looked into her eyes. At first they were shocked but that soon melted into happiness. She smiled and leaned her head on my chest. She moved her hands from my neck and wrapped them around my torso. I wrapped my arms around her back.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what possessed me to do that." I whispered, still shocked with myself. I felt her shake her head in my chest.

"Whatever possessed you to do that Jesse, I'm glad it did." She whispered. I smiled.

What in the world did I miss while I took my nap? Marron asked. I looked down at the ground, Mel did too. Marron was sitting there, staring at us.

"Nothing Marron." Mel said. She stepped away from me and picked up Marron.

Yeah, sure. Then what was that just there, huh Mel? Marron asked. Mel looked at me, her eyes begging for help.

"Just something Marron. Don't worry about it." I said. Marron looked at me. Then back at Mel.

Fine. He said. Then he curled up into a ball and fell asleep in Mel's arms.

"Thanks." She whispered. I shrugged.

"No big." I said. "We should start heading back now." I said. Mel nodded. We walked back towards the Slifer dorm. Mel talked about her past at HereRosé academy. Neither of us brought up what happened just a few minutes ago. I didn't bring up Mel's little secret again.

She'll tell me when she thinks I'm ready to know. I thought. We reached the Slifer dorm and saw Jaden and Alexis walking towards us.

"Hey guys." I said. We met Jaden and Alexis half way. Jaden stood in front of me. Alexis stood in front of Mel.

"Hey you two." Alexis said.

"Where were you two going?" Mel asked.

"I was walking Alexis to the girl's dorms." Jaden said. I looked at him.

"You can't go to the girl's dorms." I said.

"I can go to the edge of the lake but not any further." Jaden said. I sighed.

"Why are you heading back so early?" Mel asked Alexis.

"Mindy and Jasmine said that I couldn't sleep in our dorm tonight. Said they're planning the sleep over and I can't over hear anything." Alexis said. Mel looked at her confused. "I was heading back to see if I could bunk with someone tonight."

"You can bunk with me. I have no roommates, right now at least so there's plenty of room." Mel said.

Of course, I don't count as a roommate. Marron mumbled. Mel lifted her right arm up, causing Marron to slide a bit but she quickly put it down, straightening him out.

"Are you sure?" Alexis asked. Mel nodded.

"Yeah, it's perfectly alright." Mel said.

"Thanks." Alexis said.

"No problem. I was gonna head back soon anyway. Wanna head back now?" Mel asked. Alexis nodded.

"See you guys tomorrow." Alexis said, walking off with Mel towards the Obelisk Blue dorms. Mel looked back and me, smiled, and then waved. I waved back. Jaden walked up and stood next to me, his arms folded across his chest.

"Alright, what happened?" He asked. I looked at him and smiled.

"Oh, you know. Nothing much." I said, smiling.
