My Whirlwind High School Romance

Determination

Jaden's POV

I sat in the classroom eagerly waiting for the bell to ring and end homeroom. Today was the start of the tournament and I didn't want to waste anytime getting my points. So the way the tournament worked was every win got you 3 points and a lose earned you 1 point. The more you duel the better chance to reach the top 16.

The bell rang through my ears and I jumped up grabbing my back pack. I heard a sigh coming from Ms Hibiki as I pulled out my duel disk. She walked over to me and I noticed Jesse waiting for me by the door. I have him the sign that I would be 1 minute so I could talk to Ms Hibiki.  "Jaden is everything okay?" She asked. 

"Yeah I'm good." I replied attaching my duel disk to my arm.

"Listen I'm a bit worried about you since the incident at the mall," She sighed placing a hand on my shoulder. "Everything seemed to have taken a strange turn and I'm concerned for your safety."

"Don't worry," I grinned. "I'll make sure nothing bad happens to anyone. I promise."

With that I left the classroom and took Jesse by the hand as we walked to the courtyard. "Everything okay babe?" He asked me. I felt his grip on my hand get tighter.

"Yeah, Ms Hibiki was just a bit worried," I replied leaning into him. Since the incident Jesse had become over protective of me and didn't want to let go of my hand most days. "I wish you would all stop worrying about me now. "

"We can't help but worry Jay," Jesse said sternly. "You did chase after Emiko when she fell and I thought I was losing you."

"That will never happen," I said in a low tone. "I want to be with you forever. You and everyone else is precious to me, so I might do stupid things sometimes but that's because I'm determined to stay with you."

"Aw Jay," Jesse said giving me a kiss on the cheek. I want to be with you forever too."

The truth is I love Jesse more then anything in the world. He's my everything and I don't want to let that go. I feel we were just made for each other almost.  I noticed Ruby and Kuriboh were following behind us as we continued to walk towards the courtyard.

The two of them seem to get along nicely since Jesse and I started to date. We looked around the courtyard and saw many people already duelling. Finding an opponent was going to be hard as everyone was already in a duel. Just then I felt something crawl along my neck. I reached behind, nothing was there but when I turned I saw David and Reggie standing before us. David have a devilish smile as as he leant down to my height. "If I was you, I'd take better care of your duel spirit," he whispered then left me and Jesse alone. 

My heart was in my throat. How did he know? What did he know about duel spirits? 

Kuriboh stood flew up close by me, sensing my fear. Just what was happening? Im starting to think that Ms Hibiki had a reason to worry.
