Angela woke to the sound of her alarm clock.
It showed 7:00 on it.
It was also February 14.
"Looks about time for me to get ready for school." Angela thought to herself.
Dragging herself to the mirror of her bathroom, she started fixing her long hair.
Angela usually wore simple clothing that consisted of tight pants and a normal T-shirt.
She also had long hair that reached to her hips and was short in height. She also had blue eyes.
After Angela was ready to head to school, she picked up her bag and walked to the bus stop.
The middle school she went to was a private all girls school.
Angela noticed Eve and a few other girls at the bus stop as well.
Eve was also short and had hair dyed pink at the end.
Her hair was naturally light brown and she tied it in a ponytail.
She wore a colorful hoodie and blue jeans.
Every day, Angela would see the same two guys pass by the bus stop to reach their bus stop.
After doing a bit of research of her own, Angela found out the two guys were named Adam and Tyler.
They both attended Kyoura Middle School, which was a public school known for having high standards.
Angela's middle school was called Miashura Middle School, which had even higher standards.
Angela's research also found out that Tyler was barely accepted into the school but in Adam's case, he passed with flying colors.
Getting back on topic, Angela boarded the bus and sat next to Eve.
After Eve noticed the coast was clear, she pulled out her phone and started texting someone.
Noticing Angela was curious, Eve told her that she was texting a guy named Tyler.
Oddly enough, it was the Tyler who was attending Kyoura Middle School.
Meanwhile in another bus...
"Hey, Tyler. Who ya texting?" Adam sat next to Tyler and asked him a question.
"A girl." Tyler gave a swift response to Adam's question.
"Eh? When did you find the time to meet a girl? Besides, the only schools in this area are Miashura and Kyoura. Unless you met a girl here who isn't a complete bitch, I'm guessing you met a girl in Miashura?" Adam spoke meaningless dialogue to Tyler who was still texting the girl.
"I'm texting a girl named Eve. We bumped into each other when I was heading home and when you stayed to help out Mr. Brown after class. Remember?" Tyler spoke as if this kind of talk was normal between these two.
Adam had black hair which nearly covered his right eye and wore a zipped up hoodie over a black shirt with glasses. He also wore black sneakers and black pants. He had dark brown eyes that would have looked black under the right lighting.
Tyler also had black hair, but was in a simple hairstyle that didn't cover his forehead. He wore a hoodie over a graphic shirt of a video game also with glasses. He wore black and purple sneakers and blue jeans. He had hazel eyes.
"Anyways, when are you gonna get a girl Adam?" Tyler asked the question Adam never wanted to hear.
"I dunno. Besides, didn't the principal announce that we were going to team up with Miashura in the annual festival today?" Adam answered after a minute or so.
Tyler finally finished texting Eve, and coincidentally, they arrived at the school.
Today was going to be a special day because the annual March of Love festival was happening.
Students from both classes would have to team up with a member of the opposite sex in teams of two and perform in special activities.
Adam was not particularly happy with today though because he wasn't on good terms with anyone of the opposite sex.
Tyler, however, couldn't be more joyous because he could finally team up with Eve and perform those special activities.
But for these two schools, this was an important time because both schools were kept away from each other.
Normally, the students would pick their partners.
But in the instance students didn't pick or choose their partners, they would have partners chosen for them through a drawing.
Some of the students gathered in the multipurpose room of Miashura Middle School.
Although Tyler and Eve already teamed up, they wanted to see who their friends were matched up with.
Most of the students already picked their partners and left, but Adam and Angela were left alongside a few students.
After five minutes, Adam's name was finally drawn.
In this instance, time seemed to slow for Tyler as he waited to see who his friend was matched with.
Before Tyler or Adam realized it, Angela's name was drawn.
Eve was jumping up and down while cheering for her friend.
Before Adam realized it, Angela grabbed his hand and dragged him over to Eve and Tyler.
Eve was congratulating Angela for getting someone who at least looked a little nice.
Adam may not have noticed it, but Angela was smiling a bit while blushing.
While this was happening, Adam was rubbing the back of his head sheepishly while Tyler was nodding his head.
Eve eventually stopped congratulating Angela and dragged Tyler off somewhere.
Adam and Angela were left in the MPR.
They were both thinking the same thing, "What do we do now?"
They were left dumbfounded for a little bit but Angela took the initiative and dragged Adam out of the room.
Although Angela may have known the layout of the school better, Adam appeared to look lost.
"Since we're going to be partners today, we might as well introduce ourselves. I'll start okay?
I'm Angela Richardson." Angela finally faced toward Adam and looked him in the eyes while reaching her hand out for a shake.
Adam finally left what appeared to be a trance and said, "Ah. I'm Adam Brand."
After finishing his introduction, Adam shook Angela's hand.
With the introductions done, they took each other's hand and walked toward the activities.
Tyler and Eve were watching their friends from far away, better described as watching from behind a few trees.
They were there so they could see how their friends would fare.
Tyler seemed happy for Adam because he made it through alright.
Eve was still enthusiastic because her friend was with a guy.
But after watching what had happened there, Tyler and Eve took each other's hand.
The available activities were bountiful, but Angela felt as though Adam didn't care where they went.
So, Angela dragged Adam out to the Carnival March activity.
The Carnival March is where the March of Love originally got it's name. The Carnival March is a symbol of love and harmony. When two lovers walked on the Carnival March, they would be blessed in love and prosperity.
The fee was $2.00 per couple.
Adam pulled out his wallet and put the two dollars in the bucket.
Angela and Adam both walked down the Carnival March.
It was adorned in hearts and flower petals.
After they reached the end of the Carnival March, someone came up from in front of them and took a photo of them.
Naturally, they would both get a copy of the photo.
Adam looked behind them and with his keen eyes, noticed Tyler and Eve peeking around a corner.
Tyler always watched anime with characters peeking around a corner.
Noticing Adam was looking behind them, Angela also took a look back.
She too, saw Eve and Tyler.
And oh boy did she look pissed.
"C'mon, let's punish those two."
Adam nodded.
Angela took Adam's hand and dragged him into the MPR and through the door to the cafeteria and around the corner to get to Eve and Tyler.
Obviously, Adam and Angela gave Tyler and Eve a smack to the face.
After the punishment was over, the two walked away.
At the end of the festival, the couples were supposed to hug or kiss each other to say goodbye.
The couples would receive any photos they took as well.
Tyler and Eve obviously kissed each other.
Adam and Angela were the last in line.
When it reached their turn, Adam didn't know what to do, but once again with Angela taking the lead, kissed Adam on the lips.
Adam looked surprised, but closed his eyes.
Angela's eyes were closed the moment she kissed him.
After a minute or so, they finally separated to take a breath.
Angela ended the festival with one last sentence, "I really enjoyed the festival, I hope you can show me around Kyoura next year."
After the sentence, Angela walked off towards the buses.
Adam was left there as he muttered, "Yeah, next year."
Since they were both only starting middle school this year, they still had 8th grade.
Tyler suddenly came in and said, "Hell yeah! My buddy finally got a girl!"
Tyler and Adam both started laughing as they walked towards their designated bus.
"Hey did you get her number though?"
"Ah, no I didn't."
"Don't worry about it. Fate has a way of two people meeting again multiple times."
On the bus drive home, Tyler started texting Eve again.
This time Tyler was texting Eve for Angela's phone number.
Why? For Adam to be able to call her, and her to him.
But in exchange, Adam would have to give his phone number.
"Hey dude, you finished texting? We're here at the bus stop."
"Hey first, I got Angela's number for you."
"Where the hell you get that?"
"I have her friend Eve's number so I texted Eve."
"Fine, just give me it later."
The two got off the bus and went home.
Adam and Tyler are not siblings or even family for that matter, but Adam and Tyler are both roommates.
"Wait it's a Friday today right?" Tyler asked waiting for Adam to finish making some food.
"Yeah, what about it?" Adam was in the middle of making three eggs for both of them.
"After we're finished eating, let's head to the mall!" Tyler suddenly shouted.
"What for?"
"We can go shopping with Eve and Angela."
"I see no reason to shop, but eh, it's a weekend." Adam gave into Tyler's not so subtle plea for his girlfriend.
Adam finished cooking after this chat and they both gulped down their food.
A similar chat was happening while they were eating.
"Why are we going to the mall?" Angela asked.
Angela and Eve were also roommates.
"So we can meet Adam and Tyler. I know you want to meet Adam again." Eve was poking Angela with her elbow in the stomach.
"Fine..."
They were both walking to the mall, while Adam and Tyler brought their bikes.
Tyler went into a bookstore at the mall because they arrived early.
Apparently, Tyler and Eve always met up at the bookstore at a designated time.
Looking at his phone Adam was skimming through apps.
Tyler finally came out with a single book.
It was an book on love advice.
And you wanna bet who he got it for? Adam.
"Here, catch." Tyler tossed the book to Adam.
Adam looked up from his phone and caught the book.
Adam brought a book bag to carry anything Tyler or he bought.
So, he put the book in the bag.
"Don't tell me you guys went shopping without us!"
Adam and Tyler looked over to the left and saw Eve dragging Angela around.
"Only one thing, and I bought it for Adam!" Tyler shouted back to Eve.
Eve and Angela finally got over to the bookstore and started dragging the guys along too.
While walking, Eve and Tyler were window shopping while Angela and Adam stayed a little behind them.
To Tyler and Eve it seemed like a double date.
To Adam and Angela it seemed like a regular trip to the mall.
After Tyler and Eve bought two whole bags full of items, Adam accidentally ran into another couple.
"It is Valentine's Day after all." Adam thought to himself.
"I am so, so sorry ma'am." Adam quickly apologized.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing talking to my girl like that!" The woman's boyfriend shouted.
"I'm sorry, I just bumped into her." Adam was still apologizing.
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it, you got to bow down on the floor and apologize!"
"Bruce, that's a little harsh."
"Vanessa, he ran into you."
"I won't be made fun of." Adam had a wicked smile on his face.
Tyler shuffled over to the two girls and said, "Do you two know what Adam is called at school?"
They both shook their heads.
"The Devil of Kyoura."
Adam gained that nickname by ultimately destroying those who wanted to sully his name and by defeating the strongest person in the school.
Adam rushed straight to Bruce and jump kicked his chest.
Landing on his feet, Adam said, "Pitiful. No one has been less of a challenge."
Looking straight at the dust, you wouldn't notice anything unusual aside from the dust.
But Adam seemed to notice something and jump out of the way.
A giant piece of cement came flying towards him.
Bruce was a bulky man with brown hair.
Vanessa was a tall high schooler with long blonde hair.
Bruce ran straight towards Adam in a shoulder charge.
Adam used his jumping ability to jump off of Bruce's head and land past him.
Bruce ran straight into the wall.
The two girls had their mouths wide open at the sight of this.
"Well done, Devil." Tyler congratulated Adam.
"Why does everyone keep calling me Devil?" Adam asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah," Adam looked over at Vanessa and spoke, "I took this from you when we bumped into each other."
Adam pulled out Vanessa's wallet.
"But since I beat up your boyfriend, I'll give it back."
He tossed it to Vanessa.
Vanessa caught it and ran over towards Bruce.
"Mark my words Devil, you will rue the day you fought the Evergreen family."
"Better make my life a living hell then Ms. Evergreen."
Adam, Eve, Tyler, and Angela walked off.
"Dammit, Bruce. You were supposed to squash him. He beat up my younger brother."
"I'm sorry Vanessa, he is too strong."
"You are a disgrace to behold. Begone, I have no use for a useless servant."
"Miss Evergreen! Why!?"
"I will not repeat things to a peasant."
With that over with, Vanessa Evergreen pulled out her phone.
"I have dismissed the servant Bruce, give me the nobleman Evan."
"Yes m'lady."
Someone on the phone responded to her.
Vanessa thought to herself as she walked, "Some say that the will of a noble is a will of death. To make fun of the Evergreen family is to make fun of death."
While Adam was walking, he began reminiscing about where he met the Evergreen family.
-flashback-
It was a rainy day after class.
Adam was messing around at the park with his hood on.
Tyler was on a date with Eve.
He only bumped into Angela on his way to school.
While sitting on the swing he saw Preston Evergreen.
The Evergreen family was popular because they were the richest family in town.
Preston could have even paid his way to Miashura even though it is an all girls school.
Adam was staring straight at Preston and slowly got off the swing.
Preston always wore a nice clean tuxedo to school.
And he now held a knife.
He pointed it straight at Adam.
Adam got up and walked towards Preston and said, "What do you want?"
Preston said this before attacking, "Your life."
Preston rushed towards Adam and swung the blade downwards onto Adam's head.
Adam managed to side step to the left, but got a cut on his right shoulder.
"Damn he's fast, how do I counter him?" Adam's mind was brainstorming for an idea.
Preston started rushing towards Adam again, but this time seemed more like a lunge.
"He must be using his momentum to lunge towards me! He's aiming for a deadly or unavoidable attack!" Adam finally realized Preston's all too deadly attack.
Preston went for another lunge towards Adam's heart.
This time Adam just barely avoided it by jumping over Preston and thrusting his legs down onto Preston's back.
Before Adam let Preston back up, he went for a clean hit onto Preston's right eye.
After several beatings, Preston finally lost consciousness.
"Can't leave him like this, better call an ambulance." Adam thought to himself while taking out his phone and dialed an ambulance
Adam quickly left the scene before the ambulance got there.
-flashback over-
After a bit of Tyler explaining what just happened, Eve and Angela stood still with their mouths agape.
"So, Adam is Kyoura's Devil? Angela is Miashura's Devil. Doesn't this mean they are a perfect match!?" Eve said, her mind reaching an inconceivable ending.
"Eh!? If Angela is a Devil as well, doesn't this mean that punishment we got earlier was from Hell?" Tyler also reached an inconceivable ending.
Adam and Angela only stared at each other.
"Wait, since Miashura is an all girls school I thought it be arranged as Angela being the Ace of Miashura and Eve being the Queen like in that one anime. Aargh, I can't remember what it was called!" Tyler suddenly came to another weird conclusion.
"You must be talking about A Certain Magical Index! Or the spin-off series, A Certain Scientific Railgun!" Eve helped Tyler's memory, but it was still weird to Adam and Angela.
Adam and Angela pulled at the two weirdos' shirts and dragged them to the next store.
Angela and Adam said the exact same thing, "God! You two are so damn annoying!"
After about an hour of shopping it was 8:00 P.M.
Miashura had a strict curfew and the two girls wouldn't make it home by walking.
Naturally, the guys offered to take them home on bikes.
Kyoura wasn't as strict and didn't have a curfew.
Adam got on the bike and Angela clung to his back.
The same went for Tyler and Eve.
The sun was falling over the horizon and a beautiful red glow came over the sky.
Angela couldn't help but watch it as Adam kept pedaling.
After a few minutes Adam felt Angela falling asleep on him.
Thankfully, they reached the dorm.
As soon as Adam got off, he picked Angela up princess style and walked her to her dorm.
When Adam took the elevator and walked over to Angela's room, he saw a wide awake Eve and Tyler.
Eve was also kissing Tyler on the cheek.
Eve saw Adam carrying Angela and took out her phone to take a picture.
"Aww... The perfect couple." Tyler said with a smirk.
Angela started stirring in her sleep.
Eve opened the door for Adam, who was immediately greeted by the sweet smell of flowers.
"Which bed is her's?" Adam whispered to Eve because he didn't want to wake Angela.
"The one on the right." Eve said, not bothering to whisper.
Adam walked over to the bed on the right and laid Angela on it.
Before he walked out, he put the blanket on her.
Finally, Adam walked out to their bikes once Tyler said goodbye to Eve.
They reached the Kyoura dormitories and went to their room.
They lie tired on their beds.
Adam looked over to the alarm clock and saw it said 8:24 P.M.
"Why am I so tired? It's only 8:24." Adam thought to himself while lying on the bed.
It seemed Tyler was already asleep.
Adam slowly got up and turned off the lights.
And he fell asleep on the bed.
On the next day, it was a Saturday so they had nothing to do.
Of course, only Adam had nothing to do.
He glanced at the clock and saw 5:00 P.M.
Tyler decided to have a dinner date with Eve.
And Angela had to study for a test.
While looking bored, Adam pulled out his phone and texted Angela one thing.
"Mind if I help you study?"
Adam received an answer shortly.
"Please help."
With that, Adam walked over to Angela's dorm.
It took about 5 minutes, but for Adam it felt like 3 minutes.
Adam took the elevator to Angela's room and knocked on her door.
It took a few seconds, but Adam heard some shuffling on the other side of the wooden door.
When it opened, he saw Angela in her casual wear which consisted of just her underwear.
It was white and had little flower decorations.
Angela's hair was also kept clean.
Now that he looked at it, he saw she had, probably a C cup chest.
"Come in, I'll get changed."
Adam walked into the room scented by flowers.
Angela walked into the room on the right which was probably the bathroom.
Adam heard water flowing.
Against his natural instincts, Adam decided to take a seat on a nearby chair and started looking around.
After ten minutes, Angela came out with a bath towel wrapped around her.
"I need to grab a change of clothes."
Angela walked towards her closet.
"There has to be a line for how much humility you feel, right?" Adam watched Angela pick up her clothes and walk back into the bathroom.
When Angela walked back out, she had a loose shirt and jeans that sagged around her right hip.
"What do you have to study exactly?"
"Some history. It isn't my strong point so..."
Adam looked at the book and saw it was labeled, "The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki."
Adam pulled the chair over towards Angela and sat on it.
"The tale of the legendary hokage. He was a jinchuurki, and he put a stop to the fourth great ninja war. He-"
"Wait, he was the hokage of this city?"
"Technically, yeah. Before Konohagakure was a city, it was a simple village shrouded in leaves. As noted by it's name."
After three hours of studying, Angela looked over to the clock and saw 8:06 P.M.
"Oh crap, the curfew is 8:10! You gotta get out, fast!"
After being prompted by Angela, Adam ran out the door towards the exit.
After making his way out of Miashura's dormitories, Adam walked towards his dorm.
"Another boring day. I'm willing to bet someone is gonna attack me." Adam thought to himself, hoping something would break the monotony.
Answering his wish, someone rushed Adam from behind and attempted to stab him through the chest.
"Again with chest stabbing?" Adam thought to himself while side stepping.
"Alright before you start the waving the sword around, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Adam Brand."
"Evan Hearth. Pleased to be killing you tonight."
After getting finished with the introductions, Evan started slashing Adam with his chokutō.
"A nice chokutō. But can it beat a dagger? In the past, most likely."
Adam unsheathed his dagger on his left hip.
Wielding it like a blade, he clashed with Evan.
Starting with a tie with blades, Adam slowly got the upper hand against Evan.
Adam's blade nearly cut his neck, but he deflected Adam's dagger and jumped away.
"What do you stand to gain for cutting me down?"
"I gain Ms. Evergreen's hand in marriage."
"I see, but why gain her marriage? Why do you wish for her? Her heart, looks or money?"
Adam was questioning why they wanted Vanessa.
"...Enough of this boring talk, I must kill you. And I will do so by using the blade of my great-great-great-great grandfather, Sasuke Uchiha."
"Sasuke Uchiha, huh? Well then, let's fight!"
The fighting commenced once again.
I have already written the next chapter, but it will be edited and uploaded on April 14.
