Alexander had been calmly finishing his food and wiping his mouth with a napkin when someone suddenly wrapped her arms around him and whispered things in his ear. Alexander showed a brief moment of surprise before resuming his calm demeanor and took a moment to analyze the situation. He recognized this behavior belonging to a certain someone in this school. It had been a while, but he never forgot it. [i]Well I certainly didn't miss this,[/i] Alexander thought.

Out loud, Alexander sighed and greeted Cécile, "Hello, Cécile. I see you won that tournament of yours, if this 'Cyber Twin Dragon' is anything to go by." Alexander then grasped her arms and said, "Now then, if you would be so kind as to release me." 

Megumi had also been happily enjoying her meal before the unexpected intrusion appeared. Instantly her cheerful mood plummeted, and Megumi grimaced at the sight of Cécile and Alexander together like that. Setting aside her tray, Megumi stood up, absolutely livid, and exclaimed, "You take your hands off him, you filthy she-devil!" Megumi was not going to let this girl take away her childhood friend Alex, no matter what. Sure, Megumi never won against Cécile in a Duel, but that was then and this was now.
