Nala's
Journal
My
name is Nala, I'm in the Day Class at Cross Academy and I'm in love
with Zero Kiryu.
I
know I'm being rude about him, but he's impossible to deal with. He's
always with Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of Headmaster Cross, and
he drinks her blood. I heard that it's to resist the blood craving
that he feels towards humans. I'm sure a lot of girls would want to
let him drink their blood.
Anyway,
I have to go get to class. ^-^ It's six in the morning right now, and
Night Class must've let out by now. Bye, journal!
I
stuck my journal into my bag, and proceeded to get ready for the day.
That including putting my medium-length hair in a ponytail (hard to
do, might I add) and getting dressed and collecting all of my books.
Once finished, I walked the long mile to Cross Academy, humming
a tune to myself. It was still a little dark outside, and I wondered
if I would run into any of the Night Class students. Maybe...maybe
not. But I did see something,
and I don't think I wanted to.
A grungy, filthy looking man was
in the alleyway nearest to me, a bottle of half-finished alcohol
resting near his feet, and a rusty knife in his left hand. He noticed
me and leered at me, walking--no, staggering--towards me. I backed
up, and get backing up until my back hit the wall of a
building.
"What's a little girl doing out this early? When
there's no...witnesses..." My heart skipped a beat, I swear it
did. I tried my best to look strong, but it didn't really work. Not a
time like this.
"I'm not a little girl! And besides, you're
too drunk to do anything right!" He furrowed his brow in anger,
and started to flip the knife, catching it as he continued towards
me.
"All right, little girl...how shall this all begin? Me
coming to you, or you coming to me?"
"Neither, you old
pervert!"
"I'm going to kill you now!" He shouted
as he ran at me, and I put up my arms in futile self-defense.
"Stop!" And he did stop...as well as everything around
him. The birds, the wind, and the few people on the street.
"What...what is this?" I whispered to myself, not daring to
speak above a whisper.
The man who had been trying to attack me
was frozen where he stood, not breathing and definitely not moving.
This was my chance to run away, no matter how weird the
circumstances.
Once I'd gotten far enough away to begin to feel
safe again, I stopped and let myself slide to the ground, the rush of
adrenaline slowly fading. Staying like that for nearly ten minutes, I
let my racing heart calm down and not be so jittery.
"Whoa!
What was...that? How did I do that?" I questioned myself in my
mind constantly, all day, not letting myself concentrate on anything
I did or what was said to me.
Class let out early that day, due
to the impending snow storm (This is based on the fact that school
was canceled where I live. Practically all of MA's school got
canceled.) and Night Class was canceled all together. (Aw...poor
Zero, and others.)
BACK AT HOME
"Gah, why did you have to
snow now?" I shouted to the sky, which was letting a constant
flow of frozen water flutter to the ground.
"Are you angry
at the sky, or just someone else?" I whirled around and saw a
teenage boy with silver hair and extremely pale lavender (?) eyes. He
seemed bored with my sudden lack of speech ability. I recognized him
from being around one girl every time I saw him.
It was Zero
Kiryu, the boy I'm in love with.
"No way!" I say with a
wide grin on my face, obviously taking him by surprise. "I love
the snow, but I wanted to talk to one of my friends. She was in my
next class, but obviously
I
couldn't because I couldn't find her! So, how are you?"
"Um...fine. Why do you ask?" I ponder this for a
minute, but can't find an answer that wouldn't give me away.
"I
don't know, but I guess I just wanted to know how you were doing!"
I say with energy ten-fold what his were at the moment. But he seemed
to be fidgeting with an item hidden behind his back. I go over to
him, curious. He backs away a little, his pale eyes wide and his
paler cheeks tinged with the color that symbolizes love. I stay where
I am, but I feel an anxious, nervous feeling overwhelm me.
"Why
did you suddenly come at me?" He asks, his face turned away, but
his voice just as shaky as my body.
"Well, I was wondering
what you had behind your back."
"Oh, this?" He
holds up a small, leather-bound book. It looks like...my journal!!! I
launch myself at him, struggling to get it. He puts a hand on my head
and keeps me from getting any closer.
"Give it back, you
thief! Give it back to me or I'll stop time!"
"Stop
time?"
"Yeah," I huff at him, hoping that my
annoyment was showing. "Stop!"
All time around the two
of us stopped, and Zero was amazed.
"Wow...amazing..."
"Now
give me my journal back!" He opens it, flipping to the last page
I'd written in.
My
name is Nala, I'm in the Day Class at Cross Academy and I'm in love
with Zero Kiryu.
I
know I'm being rude about him, but he's impossible to deal with. He's
always with Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of Headmaster Cross, and
he drinks her blood.'"
He
looked up at me, to which I blushed and hung my head.
"You're
jealous of Miss Yuki? Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" I
try to joke, putting the back of one of my hands over my mouth, while
putting the other one on my hip. "I guess I'm in love with you.
But obviously you can't love me, because you love Yuki!"
"No...she only helps me to calm my cravings. So does this
tattoo," He says calmly, pointing to the back of his neck. "But
I'm holding your heart in my hands, and I don't intend to crush
it."
"What do you mean?"
He walked over to me,
taking my wrist in his hand and placing his other hand on my
cheek.
"I don't want to hurt the one who's been cheerful and
happy about me even though I've been careless and cold to her."
"You
haven't been cold or careless to me. You just haven't noticed me."
"And I regret that deeply. Never again," He said
leaning down to softly touch his lips to mine. When he pulled back
slightly, he took his hand from my wrist and put both of them on
either side of my face. "Will I hurt you."
"As
you've noticed, time's standing still. So we have all the time in the
world to be close to each other." I say, smiling a little
despite my anxiety.
He laughed--like the angels up above--and
looked me straight in the eyes.
"Yes, we do have all the
time in the world. And now, you
are
my world." It was my turn to laugh now, but his eyes got
confused unlike mine.
"As are you." His eyes softened
and he pulled me close to him, and I breathed in the sweet scent that
was Zero.
And the snow fell on us, cloaking everything in
shimmering, white powder. But my eyes weren't on the snow as they'd
been earlier, they were looking into the eyes of my one love.
And...Cut!
Fade to Black!
