Ch.1 New Guy
As Lenalee walked into her classroom, she saw a boy sitting in the seat next to hers, which had always been empty. Upon further insight of the male, she noticed his bright red hair. 'Wow...' His red hair wasn't the only thing strange about him, he also had an eye-patch covering one of his green eyes. No, wait...They were much deeper than any other ordinary green, more of an emerald-green color, but were blank. Even though he was sitting down, she knew that he was fairly tall for his age. She would barely be able to reach his shoulders.
She must have been staring at him, for he looked up from his book and cast his eyes, well eye, at the raven-haired girl.
He looked her over casually, then continued to read an old book of some sort.
Lenalee was about to say something but the ringing of the bell stopped her. She sat down in her seat, glancing at the strange boy when she thought he wasn't paying attention.
The days passed after Lavi-as she had found out-came to school and people were talking nonstop about the redhead. Lenalee heard tons of gossip about him, how he dyed his hair, that he doesn't have a right eye, and so on. The purple-eyed beauty was sick of all the assumptions people made and decided to ask him herself.
"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" Those whispered words didn't come from Lenalee's mouth, no, they came from Lavi's.
"Huh?" Lenalee stated blankly, not believing that after a whole week of school, she finally heard his voice.
"I said, may I ask you something?" He said, slightly amused by her answer.
"Oh um of course!" She said with more enthusiasm than she wanted, mentally cursing herself.
He chuckled softly, and asked with his heart-melting voice, "Oh shit, you're so beautiful that I forgot my question," he grinned mischievously and held his hand out to her.
"I'm Lavi Bookman, but because of all the gossip about me, you probably already knew that," he scratched the back of his head with his other hand.
Lenalee smiled and shook his hand, "I'm Lenalee Lee, and you're quite a flirt Mr. Bookman."
"Well I just couldn't control myself!" he grinned and winked at her, making Lenalee blush softly.
The redhead was about to say another pick-up line but stopped when the teacher walked in, apologizing to the class of his lateness.
Lenalee searched for the mysterious redhead at lunch, but couldn't find him and ended up at her regular table filled with her friends.
"Are you feeling alright Lenalee? You seem doleful," said a certain white-haired boy that had a whole mountain of food in front of him.
" 'Doleful'? What the fuck does 'doleful' mean moyashi?" said a grumpy samurai.
"It's Allen, Bakanda! A-L-L-E-N! And maybe if you picked up a book once in a while, you would know!"
Kanda just rolled his, giving his signature 'che'.
"Well Lenalee?" Allen asked, slightly annoyed by Kanda's presence.
The raven-haired girl sighed and played around with her salad, "It's the new kid, you know, Lavi? I wanted to invite him to sit with us since he seems to not have any friends."
"I'm not so sure about him Lenalee, he seems like a kind of person who you don't want to get involved with," Miranda warned Lenalee, truly worried about the kind girl.
"I know that Miranda, but he's just so..so.." Lenalee stuttered, not sure of her own words.
"Hot? Tall? Amazing? Rebellious?" Chomesuke teased, making Lenalee turn as red as a tomato.
"I didn't mean it like that! He just seems like a nice and kind-hearted person!" Lenalee defended, trying to stop all the blood from rushing to her head.
"Yeah right! Lena, I know you better than you know yourself! You've always complained that you're perfect guy doesn't exist! Now he does!" Chomesuke smirked, knowing that the two would make such a cute couple.
Lenalee groaned and buried her face in her hands, "What am I suppose to do Chomesuke?" came her muffled whining.
"Talk to him! Get to know him better! Anything! I bet you're the first person here that's actually had a conversation with him!" Chomesuke tried to cheer her friend up.
"I don't like him," Kanda interrupted, frowning as usual.
"You don't like anyone Kanda! Actually, he's the first person that hadn't reacted badly or sympathetically to my deformed arm, I kinda like him." Allen said, finishing his fifth plate of food.
"I knew you were gay..." Kanda muttered, unfortunately, Allen heard.
"WHAT WAS THAT BAKANDA?!" Allen was on full rage mode.
"What do you think you homosexual sprout?!" Kanda yelled back, not afraid of Allen's one bit.
"Gosh, I have the strangest friends," Lenalee muttered, thinking of a certain redhead and their first and most recent conversation.
"Do you mind having an even stranger one?" A husky voiced asked, making Lenalee almost jump out of her chair.
"Lavi?!" she asked, surprised by the boy's sudden appearance.
The redhead grinned childishly and gave a little salute with two fingers, "Yep! You're hot, tall, amazing, and rebellious dream guy!" he chirped, making Lenalee turn as red as her "dream guy's" hair.
'This is gonna be so much fun!' Chomesuke squealed, imagining Lavi and Lenalee together.
