Chapitre 77: Power Couple 1
'Why does this nonsense always happen around me?' Alexis couldn't help but wonder.
Surely she wasn't that attractive? Nobody was attractive enough to warrant this kind of crazy sycophantry.
Honestly, all she wanted to do was have a talk with a friend of hers after Professor Crawler let her know of a sighting of Chazz out at sea. Jaden as it happened, was being punished by one of the third year Obelisks for hitting Crowler with a tennis ball, so she had to head to the tennis court where he was being punished to let him know.
She had let Yarden know of course, but…honestly the blank, uncaring look he'd given her at the mention of Chazz said it all as far as his interest in their runaway classmate went. Honestly, the way he'd looked at her as if she was an idiot had been almost embarrassing.
Either way, she knew at least Jaden did have some semblance of thought for Chazz, so she decided to let him know and Jazz and Mindy decided to tag along.
….Only when she arrived at the tennis courts where Harrington was punishing Jaden, he started acting like a crazy person because she exchanged words with her Slifer friend.
And somehow that proceeded into a duel between Jaden and Harrington where the winner was to be her fiance…?
The actual vapid stupidity of it all actually left her stunned long enough not to tell them off before they were already duelling.
And maybe she was being overly critical, but she wasn't impressed by the duel at all. Harrington's deck was nonsense. A tennis based deck that relied on the luck and the opponent not guessing correctly at questions he asked them.
So it wasn't really a surprise to her when Jaden mopped him up in just a fear turns with the upgrades he'd made to his deck recently. That Elemental Hero Stratos had a nasty effect that only got nastier the more Elemental Hero's were on the field.
And it was the perfect counter to Harrington's deck and playstyle.
"Well that settles that I suppose." Jasmine shook her head.
"Yahoo! He's getting married!" Syrus cheered as the duel ended in Jaden's victory, pumping a fist into the air.
Then the younger Truesdale paused as he apparently realised how silly that sounded and gave the three girls he was standing beside a hesitant look, "…I mean probably, someday…." he added lamely.
"…I guess?" Jasmine rubbed the back of her neck.
"Lexi…what are you going to do about this?" Mindy gave the blonde at her side a worried look.
"No damnit!" she was cut off before she could even reply as Harrington fell to his knees and began banging his fists on the ground, "How could this happen! Alexis was supposed to be my little Obelisk Pixie soulmate!"
Alexis cringed.
He looked up glaring with teary eyes at Jaden, "How could I lose my love to this Slifer sludge!?" he cried out, very dramatically.
Jaden honestly just looked supremely confused, "So…I guess I'm your fiance?" he turned to Alexis and asked, "Though, no idea what that means to be honest."
"Are you kidding me?!" Jasmine gaped at the body while Mindy just laughed in amusement.
Alexis kind of just felt a headache coming on and slowly rose her hand to her forehead and rubbed at where the ache was beginning to throb in her temple, "…That's probably for the best Jaden," the blonde replied with a sigh, "If you actually did know and try to push for it, Yarden wouldn't take to kindly to it considering I'm dating him now."
She hadn't let slip yet what was going on between her and Yarden, she'd been waiting for a good time to reveal it to her friends and more specifically Jasmine. But honestly, she was just letting it drop right now and here because she didn't want to deal with anymore nonsense like this.
She was going to take advantage of her relationship status and dump all these idiots on Yarden to deal with for her.
Possibly the best plan she'd come up with in all her life.
"…Dating? I think I should know what that means. Is it some kinda food?" Jaden mused, stroking his chin before shrugging, "Well either way, I don't wanna piss off a bud, especially not Yarden. He's scary when he's mad."
As he finished though, there was total silence as everyone else gathered in the tennis court just looked at Alexis in utter shock. Harrington had even shut up on his crying and whining to stare gobsmacked at her.
"…Yarden really is just built different." Syrus broke the silence that was beginning to stretch on a few moments later.
That did it and the flood broke.
"Well that was quick." Mindy blinked and uttered calmly.
"Since when!?" Jasmine though, exploded, whirling on her blood friend and demanded.
"Since a few days ago," Alexis replied, "Remember, when we both didn't turn up for class? I was at his place all through the night and we decided not to bother with class."
Or rather, she did and Yarden was only too happy to comply. When she left his dorm room later that day her lips had been bruised and she'd had to keep her collar fully buttoned to hide the blatant hickey he'd given her.
"You told us you were feeling sick!" Jasmine accused, "Hell you told Professor Crowler that as well!"
Alexis shrugged, "Well I mean, I wasn't gonna just tell him what I was actually up to."
"And what were you up to?" Jasmine asked, eyes narrowing at her suspiciously.
"You'll have to be more specific," Alexis responded, raising her eyebrow at her friends blatant jealousy, "We talked, we ate, we watched television, spent a few hours making out in his bed, cuddled a bit, a bunch of things really."
Jasmine's eyes widened in utter shock, and dare she say it, a little hurt. The auburn haired girls mouth opened and closed a few times as she tried to find words to respond with.
But she never got the chance.
Because apparently what Alexis just revealed was too much.
For Harrington that is.
The older boy surged to his feet and tossed his tennis racket off to the side and rubbed at his eyes, "Waaaah!" he burst into tears again and took off running towards the exit of the tennis courts, crying all the way.
Alexis cringed again watching him go. What was wrong with that guy?
Well, at the very least his absurd reaction to her and Yarden was enough to even shock Jasmine into silence for the moment.
Alexis took the moment to open her mouth to let her friend know she was totally okay with Yarden dating her as well, but before she could, Harrington cut her off…again.
"DAMN YOU ODHAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!" his tear filled voice echoed back towards them as he disappeared through the exit of the courts.
Only to be cut off by the sound of flesh striking flesh and his voice choking out with a whimper of pain.
Harrington came cartwheeling back into the tennis courts, landing face first in the artificial grass with his ass in the air.
"Don't go screamin' mah name like that yah daft ponce!" a familiar thick accented brogue casually spoke, "People el' end up hinkin' am a wee fag wae yae."
