Hi:DThis is my first story I was inspired by a couple authors(JC-zala&Anime-Queen-2011). I am not much of an author but I just went with it. Criticizing is recommended. I want to get better so don't be afraid to say how you feel. Also this takes place in the final year at duel academy.(No Yubel or supreme king though).Hopefully you enjoy the story.

Jadens POV

(alarm clock)

I looked at the clock it read 7:30.

"Crap!"

I did it again I was going to be late for class. Even though I usually didn't mind being late for class. Toay was no ordinary day. Today was the last day. Maybe not for everyone at duel academy but it was going to be mine. I decided that it would be best if I left school before I caused any more trouble.

After brushing my teeth I ran as fast as I could to class hoping I could beat the bell.

Just as I entered the classroom the bell had rang.

I took the empty seat in the front of the classroom. Where I saw that everyone I knew was surprised that I had not only made it to class on time but that I actually came. Ever since the incident in the other dimension class wasn't my thing.

Crowler seeing me actually in class couldn't wait to pick on me.

" since you decided to grace us with your presence you can answer the next question,"Crowler said sarcastically.

"I can try,"I replied

"What are three ways to win a duel?"

I smirked I actually knew this one. Remembering the duel with bob banter.

"The three ways to win a duel is exodia,destiny board,and final countdown."

To everyones surprise I was right. After the paramedics had picked up Crowler from the stretcher(had a heart attack due to shock) class was over.

As soon as class was over, all of my friends came over to ask me questions.(Syrus,Alexis,chazz,hassleberry,Atticus and Blair)

"Hey Jay why where you in class today?"Syrus had asked

Everyone was waiting for an answer because they all had the same question.

"Well Sy today is kinda my last day."

"!"

Everyone was shocked and confused by my answer.

Alexis then said "What do you mean we don't graduate for another month?"

"Well I kinda decided to leave."I answered casually

"But why?" everyone had said sadly

"It's complicated... But I was wondering since it's my last day we could have a party at the slifer dorm?"

Everyone sadly looked at each other and nodded.

"Sounds good see you guys in a hour!"I said quickly

I run away before they could ask me any more questions.

Alexis POV

As Jaden ran off everyone was left a little shocked but mostly sad.

Chazz was the first to speak.

"Well good riddance we don't need the slifer slacker anyways!"

"Shut up chazz no one wants to deal with this today!"I said.

Everyone was startled by the anger I had in my voice. Could you blame me though the one boy that I actually care about is going to leave My life forever. This could be the last time I ever see my friends since I decided to study in America.

I walked to my room thinking about the brown haired boy in the red jacket.

Then I heard a knock on my door. I got up to answer the door wondering who it could be. hoping maybe it was Jaden. I open the door to see my older brother Atticus.

"Hey sissy!" says in his usual cheerful mood.

"hey Atti." I reply back disappointed.

I let him inside my room as I went to lay on my bed. Burying my face in my pillow.

"So how are you feeling?" Atiicus asks.

"I'm fine."I replied.

Even though I wasn't fine and I was going through a roller coaster of emotions I had to stay strong.

"Lex I'm your big brother and I know when you are lying to me."

"Really Atti I'm fine."

Atticus continued to press.

"I know your not fine and it would help if you talked to me."

Then some tears began to drop from my eyes.

"I can't believe he is leaving atti,it's like he doesn't even care!"

Atticus wraps his arms around me as I laid my head to his chest.

"You know that Jaden cares about you Lex and would do anything to see you smile."

"Then why is he leaving?"

"Jaden is been through alot since the other dimension and it's complicated for him but maybe if you talked to him he might see that he should stay at duel academy."

"Do you think I should tell him?" I asked as my crying began to stop.

"Take it from your big bro don't live with any regrets Lexi."

"Thanks Atticus you really are a good brother."

"No problem it's my job as your brother and as the master of love" he said as he left with a big goofy smile on his face.

As I closed the door I decided that I should problaby change into some fresh clothes and wash my face. I began to walk to the slifer dorm when my mind was confused on how I was going to tell him.

Jadens POV

Everyone was here at the party except for Alexis.

I thought for a split second that she wasnt going to show up.

Everyone was having a good time there was food some dueling and even music playing but my mind could not set off the fact the Alexis wasn't here. Was she mad at me and not going to come? In my mind I knew I had feelings for her. But there was no way the obelisk queen could fall for a guy like me.

I went outside to get fresh air and look at the view. Even though the slifer dorm wasn't as luxurious as the other dorms it had a beautiful view.

Then I heard a voice from behind me

"Hi jaden sorry I'm late I had to change." Alexis said.

I gave her a smile and said

"It's ok lex I'm just glad you came, for while there I thought you were mad and not going to show up."

"Well I am mad you jaden."replied Alexis.

"I know lex I don't want to leave but I have too."

"but why?"

"I can't put anyone else at this school in danger anymore, I can't cost anymore lives."

"Jaden what are you talking about you don't put anyone in danger if anything you are the one that saves us."

"Look lex it's not that I mean to put anyone in danger it's just that it seems to follow me around.I can't risk anymore of my friends lives."

"Jaden yuki if you think for second that you are a danger to our lives then you wrong!"Alexis said as she began to cry.

I have never seen her cry before. I went over to hold her she buried her face into my jacket

"Lex don't cry this is hard enough as it is."

"Jaden please don't go."

"but..."

Alexis cut me off"Just promise me you won't leave, I need you Jaden."

She looked up at me still tears in her eyes I couldn't tell her no.I couldn't hurt one of my best friends. Especially Alexis she always seemed special to me. Different from everyone else.

"Ok Lex I promise I won't leave."

"You mean your going to stay?"she looked at me I could see the tears beginning to stop

I held her in my arms as If I wasn't ever let her go and then I smiled at her.

"I promised didn't I." her frown instantly turned into a smile.

I felt extremely guilty by the fact I knew I was lying I couldn't stay even though I promised. I knew that I was only endangering my friends and everyone else at this academy.

We stood there for a few minutes.

I broke the silence "Lex maybe we should go in we have been out here for awhile now."

She nodded her head and wiped her face to act like she wasn't crying.

We walked inside. I could see all the eyes of my friends staring almost waiting for me to say something.

There was a long awkward silence.

"What is everyone looking at?"I asked.

Everyone went back to what they were doing and acted as if it never happened.

The time flew by as the party continued. As I wished everyone a goodnight I knew in the back of my mind that this may be the last time that I ever see my friends again. Once everyone had left I got my duffle bag,duel disk and my deck and began to walk outside to the docks. I gave once last look at the slifer dorm in which gave me so many memories both good and bad. As I continued to walk down to the docks I could see the boat there waiting for me. I began to walk up to the dock that when I heard a voice call my name out.

"Jaden!"

Alexis POV

Minutes before...

It was really dark and cold outside almost as it was ready to rain. I decided that I would gather enough courage to tell him how I feel. After the connection we had earlier today I thought today would be the time to finally tell him. I began walking up to the slifer dorm with nonthing else in my mind other then that caring brunnete. As I came up to the slifer I could see jaden with his duffle bag. I hid behind the tree next to me and I followed with out him noticing me. As I continued to follow him I could see we were heading to the docks as I could see the duel academy ship. My heart sank I couldn't believe that Jaden had lied to me. He promised me that he wouldn't leave me. I didn't know what to do I couldn't stop what happened next.

"Jaden!"

I ran up to him and hugged him just as he turned around and heard my voice. I began to cry as the only guy that I cared about had just lied to me and broke me heart. Just on cue it began to rain.

I cried out "Why Jaden?"

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes

"Lex I'm sorry please don't cry."

"Jaden you lied to me! You promised me that you wouldn't leave me! You have changed Jaden and not for the better. The Jaden I know would never hurt his friends or me!"

He looked at me speechless almost as if he had nothing to say.

"Answer me Jaden Yuki!"

"Lex I don't know what to say other then sorry. I just didn't want to endanger you guys anymore. I couldn't imagine if anything happened to you guys especially you."

My heart sank, why would he say that?Does that mean he likes me? But if he liked me why would he leave? Did he mean what he said? I began to ask myself all these questions as I had noticed that some time had passed since he had spoken.I quickly regained my composure and asked him.

"What do you mean by that Jaden?"

He looked straight into my eyes so that I could see his puppy dog brown eyes.

"Lex I... Like you and not just as a friend but I think as more of a friend."

My heart began to beat rapidly as my brain began to ask me a thousand he just say what I think he said?Am i dreaming?What should I say? Just then I realized that I hadn't spoken in minutes. I looked up at him as I could see his face had turn into more sadness. I was about to speak when

"Lex I'm sorry I didn't mean to ruin our friendship I would totally understand if you didn't want to speak to me again."

"Jaden if you believe that then you are stupider then the ojama brothers. How could you not know that I feel the same way about you. I like you too Jaden. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

I smiled at him and he smiled. At this moment I almost died with happiness nothing could make this better. Then I thought to soon because he made it even better. He kissed me on the lips and then I responded without thinking by deepening the kiss.

After about 10 seconds we broke just stood there in the rain with us completely wet staring into each others eyes.

"Sorry I don't know what came over me."

"Jaden you apoligize way to much. Besides I couldn't ask for anything better." I could feel my cheeks heat up as I had just had my first kiss with the first guy that I ever cared about.

"Jaden you are not going to leave me right?"

"You know I don't plan on ever leaving you now." he smiled at me and rubbed his hands against my arms to keep me warm. This whole time I didn't even relize how cold it was.

"Are you cold Lex?"Jaden asked me.

"Just a little bit." I replied.

He took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. Even though it was a little wet I could still fell the warmth of having it on. We then ran all the way back to his slifer dorm because it was really starting to pour. We got into his room where he got another one of his red jackets(who knew he had more) from the closet. He grabbed the wet jacket off me and put a the dry one on.

"Thanks Jay."

"No problem Lex. I think you should stay here for the night, it's really raining hard out there."

I blushed at the last part of the statement

"Ummm I don't know Jay."

Just then Jaden blushed he must have relized why It was problaby inappropriate for us to share a room.

"Sorry Lex I didn't mean it in that way. Why dont you stay in this room while I go in the common room and sleep on the couch."

"Ok but do you have any fresh clothes that I could borrow?"

"Ya I have some gym shorts and shirts in my closet. They might be a little big but they should work."

"Thanks Jay I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"All right Lex,remember if you need anything I'll be downstairs.

With that he gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead and went on his way. I then changed into fresh clothes that were in the closet. I haven't been so happy since I got my deck. I got underneath the sheets and went to sleep happily dreaming about a certain brown hair brunette.

Review please so that I can make improvements. Hope you liked it:P
