Amber's POV:
I hurried down the hall, turning occasionally to see if Ashly was keeping up with me. "Come on, Ashly! We gotta go check out the duel arena!"
Ashly panted, "Go ahead, Am, I'll catch up!"
I turned with a full-on sprint- and crashed right into a blue-clad student!
"Hey, watch where you're going, slacker!" a voice shouted.
I would know that voice anywhere, and I was really wishing that I'd crashed into someone else, anyone else, even Zane Truesdale!!!
"Well, ex-CUSE me!" I exclaimed, standing up and brushing off my uniform. "I guess SOMEone decided to think it was opposite day and walk backwards!"
Chazz grabbed the front of my coat and shook me back and forth. "Don't you dare disrespect the Chazz!"
I gently took his hands off my coat and said very calmly and yet very dangerously, "I believe I just did, Princeton."
Chazz immediately grabbed my coat again and started stomping off. "That's it! I'm done with all your crazy antics!"
I struggled in his grip but he just held me tighter. "ASHLY! ALEXI-" my scream for my friends was cut off by Chazz roughly pushing me up against the wall and slamming his lips onto mine. I froze. What the ******* does he think he's doing?
Again, I twisted in his grasp, but he only pressed harder, smirking when my strength finally gave out and I slumped to the floor.
"Well, well, well. Looks like Miss Bravado has lost her cool!" he said with a laugh. He crouched down to my level and whispered, "All right, slacker. It looks like you just might run off and tattle on me, so let me get one thing straight. Until further notice, you are going to do whatever I tell you, whenever I tell you, or I'll tell Dr. Crawler that you tripped me."
"You slammed into me because you weren't looking where you were going," I hissed. Crouching at the feet of a Princeton! My mother would be so ashamed.....if she were alive.
Chazz patted my cheek. "First thing, stand up."
I didn't move.
"I SAID STAND UP!"
I slowly got to my feet, keeping my back to the wall.
Chazz smirked. "Now, come with me. I have a friendly match in the duel arena with a couple other Obelisks. I'm sure you'll be my tag team partner?"
I gritted my teeth. "Of course, Princeton."
"AND IT'S CHAZZ! OR THE CHAZZ, IF YOU'D PREFER."
"Sure, thing, Spazz."
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
"Chazz."
"That's what I thought."
Chazz and I walked to the duel arena, and as Chazz told off three Slifers named Jaden, Syrus and Maya, I thought, What did I get myself into?
