Expect the Unexpected
"You do know that the examinations to enter are over, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"And you still wish to continue?"
"Yes, sir."
A sigh. "Very well. But you will have to duel in front of the whole school. Are you sure?"
A small gulp. Then: "...Yes."
"Will someone tell me why on earth we're here?" A brunette (and possibly the best duelist out of the first years) groaned and flopped over in his seat.
"Come on. At least we don't have to listen to boring lectures," one of his friends, a Slifer who strangely resembled a koala, told him.
A blue-haired kid nodded. "Yeah. What he said."
"But I still want to why. I appreaciate the getting-out-of-class part, but the rest it driving me nuts!"
They were in the center where hopeful duelists took their field test. Students kept pouring in, murmuring the same thing; they were all why they were called out of class.
Jaden was sitting with his friends, who were all getting a tad bit annoyed at his constant question."For the last time, Jaden, we'll find out soon enough," Alexis snapped.
Sure enough, Crowler getting on top of the platform. "Ladies and gentleman! You may be wondering why you're here--"
"Duh," Jaden grumbled under his breath.
"--today. The reason is, we've got a duelist who wishes to enter Duel Academy. Please welcome, Shuichon Wong!" With a flourish, Crowler gestured towards an opening to his left.
Behind the opening, hidden in the shadows, Shuichon stood. She waited with bated breath until she heard the announcement introducing the newcomer. With a shaky breath, she walked through the opening.
For a brief second, the light blinded her. As soon as her eyes had focused, she almost immediatly turned pale. The reason simply being because of the numerous amount of students Duel Academy had, and because she had stage fright, a huge stage fright.
"She looks nervous," Bastion observed from his position.
"And her clothes look kinda shabby," added Chumley.
Whether the comment was nice or not, it was true. She had a long green shirt that looked worn-out and baggy jeans that didn't fit. Her long brown hair was sloppily tied back with a string in a ponytail that hung loosely.
"And now...the duel!" Crowler exclaimed, raising his arms dramatically in the air.
Shuichon turned even paler than before and beads of sweat started rolling down her face. Maybe this was a bad idea...
"She's panicking," Syrus noted.
"Wonder how long she'll last before she faints," Jaden remarked.
"They're all wimps, that's what they are."
"You could try to be more nice. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to your fears." Alexis frowned at the other Obelisk Blue that was seated near them.
Chazz simply sneered. "Look at her, she can barely even walk up onto the platform."
He was right. Shuichon half wobbled onto stage, half stumbled. When she got up there, the dueling official snickered. "Sure you can handle this, kid?"
The bearded offical had an air about him that was menacing, proving that he would show no mercy to anyone. The darkly shaded sunglasses masked his eyes, therefore shielding any other prying eyes from reading what he thought. The sneer on his face was full of hunger. That made him even more fierce. His towering height helped, too.
"No, not especially."
"Let the duel begin!" With that, Crowler all too eagerly bounced off stage, nearly tripping over his feet in his haste.

The Digital Gate:Whatcha think? Sorry if it was short, I kinda wanted to make a cliffhanger. Good or bad? Like I said earlier, feel free to review or flame.
