Scream like you mean It…
If you found an angel, if you found someone who you would give your heart with no promise of getting it back whole, if you fell in love…with someone you couldn't have…what would you do?
"Damn it! I'm going to be late again!"
I practically sprinted down the narrow alley ways. It was pouring with rain and I was already soaked, the alley's provided a small amount of cover, in places at least.
"Is it so hard to get a decent alarm clock?" I mumbled to myself as I slowed down.
If I was late one more time, my homeroom teacher would kill me. He name was miss. Granite. The name didn't suit. She was MUCH harder than granite. And I was pretty sure that she hated me in anyway.
I looked down to check my watch. 10 'til 8.
School started in ten minutes and I hadn't even got there yet.
I began to run again. I was sure to get scolded for my appearance, but I would be in a hell of a lot more trouble if I missed another day of class. Grades were all I had going at this point.
I skidded around a corner, I felt my feet loose grip on the slick concrete and tried to catch my balance. It wasn't going to happen. I braced my self for the fall.
I felt something. It wasn't what I expected though.
I opened my eye's. I wasn't on the ground…I was on somebody! Some poor boy!
"OH NO! are you okay?!" I said trying to get up with out hurting them farther.
"Yeah…I think I'll be fine, I'm more worried about you." He said, rubbing his head slightly as he sat up.
"I'm so sorry, I fell…and I guess you know that…well I didn't see you I'm- he cut me off there.
"No, no it's fine, I saw you were about to fall and I tried to catch you…it didn't work." He laughed a little as he stood up.
"Here, let me help you."
He offered his hand down and I took it, pulling myself upright.
"Thank you, I…WAIT!!!!!! NO! I'm going to be late!"
"Do you go to Ashford? I think I've seen you around."
"Hmm…" I just noticed, he was wearing a school uniform. Come to think of it…he looked kind of familiar…and kind of…nice, handsome, very much so…
"Are you okay, you look a little red, maybe you shouldn't be out in this whether."
"OH! No, no, I'm fine…umm and yes…I go to Ashford academy." Didn't he notice my uniform?
WIAT! My uniform…GOOD LORD! What else good go wrong, I was still in my night clothes!
"So are you skipping today?"
'Crap, he had noticed to…that was perfect, of course how could he not.
"Well…I was actually going but…it looks like…I might have to come late."
"We're already late." He said laughing.
"Late'er then…" Now I was really embarrassed, this was just not a good day.
"Well, anyway, I'm Lelouch, nice to meet you."
"Yes, nice to meet you, and thanks again for…er…saving me, or breaking my fall at least."
"What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Oh, Rosalie…"
"Rosalie…well are you going to be okay to get home?"
"Home…I have to get to school!"
"Like that?"
"Huh…oh…well I could…no…"
"Go home and change, I think I can arrange something, just meet me outside the school gates okay?"
"But what are you going-
"Don't worry about it…unless you want to be counted tardy, that's 2 hours of detention you know."
"Okay…I guess I'll see you soon then…" I bowed and started walking back towards my house.
As soon as I turned the corner I started running again. I didn't know why I was trusting him at all, probably not a good idea. I guess it didn't matter at this point, no matter what I was going to be late, and I couldn't show up without a uniform. What did I have to loose?"
I dressed as fast as I could, and dried my hair a little, pulling it back into a neat ponytail so it wouldn't look to noticeable. Then I went running back towards the school. It had stopped raining, thankfully. I didn't want him to be standing out in the rain. No…that was dumb, he probably wouldn't even be there. I realized how stupid I was for ever believing him. He didn't even know mw, he was probably just getting my hopes up.
When I neared the school I saw someone standing in front of the main gate. Maybe I shouldn't have written him off so quickly…then again…
"So we meet again."
"It seems so, now how exactly are you going to get me out of detention, we're 35 minutes late."
"Just follow me."
I did, for awhile. We walked through the corridors. Eventually we came to the student council room. Normal students weren't aloud in there without an appointment, and only the president and vice president were aloud there during class. I knew there were a few exceptions for meeting's events, and such, but I didn't think being tardy would count as a school function.
"What are we doing here?"
"Just a moment." he said, opening the door and stepping in.
I followed cautiously. I heard some paper's rustling at my left and turned. There was a blonde woman there apparently filing…or something like that…In a moment, I recognized her as the student council president.
What was her name again?…
"Hmm…" she said looking up from her work.
"Madame president."
"LULU! What are you doing here, I thought you'd be off somewhere sleeping, or playing chess…or whatever it is you do during class lectures."
"Ha, well yes…but I have a favor to ask you."
"You, need a favor…with what?"
'Lu...lu???'
"Well, it appears that myself, and my friend here are tardy…could you maybe talk to your father, and have that worked out?"
"Oh I see, your hanging around with your girlfriend and you expect me to keep you out of trouble is that it?"
"Well not exactly, She's not my girlfriend, and I wasn't goofing around this morning…couldn't you just pull some strings, get us a pass or something?"
She glanced over at me and smiled.
"I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you yet…miss…not Lulu's girlfriend."
"Rosalie…"
"Ah, nice to meet you."
She turned back to face…Lulu…
"I suppose Lelouch, I'll have Mina take care of it. Until then I'll write you two a pass, emergency student council meeting." "But of course…that would mean that you, miss Rosalie, would have to join the student council."
"What?"
"Well of course, why would you be at an emergency meeting if you weren't in the council to begin with?"
"Umm, but after today I wont actually-
"Of course you will, you're now an official member!" HER HYPERNESS ALMOST MADE ME SICK!
"But I-
"No buts! They're gross, now hurry up and get to class, I'll send an e-mail."
"Who's your homeroom teacher?
I sighed.
"Miss. Granite."
