August 31: Last Day of Summer Vacation
Allen sighed as he walked down the sidewalk, past the unfamiliar builings and shops in his new home. He had just moved to the U.S. from Britain last week, as his guardian, Cross Marian, had gotten some new job here. Allen missed his old home, his dog, Timcanpy, that he had to leave behind, but most of all, he missed his foster father, Mana, who had passed away many years ago and left him in the care of that womanizing, abusive, drunken bastard, Cross Marian.

"Kanda, slow down!" Lenalee squealed, as the sleek black convertible raced down the road.
"Shut up! I know what I'm doing!" the dark-haired teen driving the car snapped at her, taking his eyes off the road to glare at her.
"Um…Kanda-" another girl, with long black hair and emerald green eyes, started to say.
"Yuu! Watch out!" another teen, with red hair and an eyepatch covering one eye yelled.
Kanda slammed down the brakes just in time to avoid hitting a white-haired old man, who was crossing the street.
"What the hell are you doing in the middle of the street, old man? Get out of my way!" Kanda yelled at him, as the old man stared at him at shock.
"It was a red light, Kanda," the green-eyed girl told him exasperatedly.
"Shut up, Diane."
And the old man moved out of the street, and the black convertible lurched forward once more.
September 1: First Day of School
Allen walked into the cafeteria nervously. Being a freshman on the first day of high school was bad enough, but being a freshman from another country was even worse. Allen had made it through the morning of classes without trouble, but lunch was what he had been dreading.
Everyone in this school seemed to already know each other, so Allen had made no friends so far. He would have to sit alone. Allen cautiously walked through the cafeteria, avoiding all the stares and looking for an empty seat.
-
"So, how were your classes this morning?" Lenalee asked Kanda and Lavi. "Me and Diane have almost all our classes together. This year is gonna be awesome!"
"Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this idiot in all my classes," Kanda grumbled, glaring at Lavi, who grinned brightly.
"Yep, isn't it great, Yuu?" Then, suddenly noticing the white-haired figure that was walking through the cafeteria, said, "Hey, isn't that the guy that Yuu almost ran over yesterday?"
Four heads turned to stare at him.
"Woah, he's a kid! I thought he was an old geezer!" Diane exclaimed. " What's up with his hair?"
"Dunno. Let's talk to him!" Lavi chirped. "Hey kid, over here!" he called to the white-haired boy.
The boy looked up, bewildered. Lavi waved at him. The boy blinked, and then started making his way over to their table, carrying an overflowing tray of food.
-
Allen was taken aback, wondering why this red-haired senior wanted anything to do with him. Not even any of the freshmen in his classes had wanted to talk to him, so why did this senior? And those girls at his table are probably sophomores or juniors, and that other guy is definitely a senior, too. Come to think of it, they did look kind of familiar…
When Allen arrived at the table, the redhead said brightly, "You're the kid Yuu over here almost killed yesterday, right?"
So that's where he had seen them before. All four of them had been in that convertible yesterday, when that Japanes-looking senior with the long blue-blak hair had almost killed him.
"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Allen."
"Hey Allen, I'm Lavi," the redhead said with a grin. "And this is Lenalee, Diane, and Yuu," he continued, pointing at the others in turn.
Lenalee gave Allen a warm smile, Diane simply nodded, looking bored, and Yuu scowled at him.
"Don't you dare call me that," the one Lavi had introduced as 'Yuu' snapped. "My name is Kanda. Or better yet, just don't talk to me at all."
Allen looked taken aback.
"Oh, don't mind him," Lavi said. "He's just in a bad mood today."
Diane snorted. "He's in a bad mood every day."
"Shut up."
Lavi pulled out a chair for him, and Allen sat down. "So, you're a freshman, right?" he asked.
"Yep. I just moved here from Britain last week."
"You're British? Awesome!"
Allen smiled, and opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted.
"Are you really going to eat all that food?" Kanda said suddenly.
Allen looked down at his heaping plate of food. "Obviously, or else I wouldn't have gotten it."
"You know you're never going to grow taller than five feet if you eat like such a pig."
Allen was extremely offended by this. "Excuse me? I'm definitely taller than five feet!"
"Not by much." Kanda retorted.
"Hmph. By the way, why is your hair so long? It looks like a girl's hair."
Kanda opened his mouth to say something back, which probably would include several swearwords, but Diane elbowed him. "Stop bullying the new kid. He hasn't done anything to you."
"He just fuckin' insulted my hair!"
"Oh, don't be such a baby, Kanda."
The two started arguing, as Allen watched in surprise.
"Shut up! I'll kick your ass after school!"
"After school? Why not right here? Afraid to fight a girl with everyone watching?"
Lavi laughed, highly amused.
"Um, Lavi?" Allen asked. "Kanda wouldn't really hurt a girl, would he?" Kanda didn't seem like a very nice person, but it was hard to believe that even he would hit a girl.
"Well, he wouldn't hurt any girl, just Diane. But don't worry about those two. They've known each other forever, they argue all the time. Usually no fatalities occur," he added with a grin.
Allen jumped as the bell suddenly rang, signaling the end of lunch.
-
"Damnnit," Allen swore under his breath as he watched his bus pull out of the school parking lot. He had been unable to open his locker after classes were over, so he had to get a janitor to help. By the time the janitor had fixed his jammed locker, Allen was really late, and just missed his bus.
What am I going to do? He thought. My house is five miles away, and Cross would never agree to come pick me up here. Sigh. I guess I'll have to walk--
"Hey Allen!" a voice called from behind him. "Whatcha still doing here for?"
It was Lavi. "I missed my bus," Allen sighed.
"Do you want a ride?" Lavi asked.
"Really? That would be awesome!"
Lavi grinned. "Okay, kid. Our ride's this way."
Allen followed Lavi through the parking lot, and spotted the black convertible that had nearly killed him yesterday. Kanda was leaning against it nonchalantly, and Diane was already sitting in the front seat. Oh no, we're getting a ride from Kanda?
"Yuu, can you give Allen here a ride home?" Lavi asked.
"No way." Allen's heart sank.
"Please?" Lavi begged.
"No."
"Pretty please with cherries on top?"
"No. Shut up."
"How about with cherries and whipped cream and chocolate and-"
"Okay, fine! Just shut up already!"
Lavi grinned triumphantly. "Thanks, Yuu!"
Allen opened the car door, and was about to slide in when he realized that there was a big black dog sitting in the backseat. It had a white mark on its forehead, and was growling at him. Allen gulped.
"Um, Kanda, is this your dog?" he asked nervously.
"No, he's mine," Diane said, reaching back to rub the dog's head. "Shadow, this is Allen. He's new here, so be nice."
The dog growled once more, but made no move to attack, so Allen got in the car, and Lavi slid in next to him.
"Kanda, where's Lenalee?" Diane asked suddenly, as the car sped down the street. "I though she was coming with us today."
Lavi answered her. "Nope. Apparently Komui wanted to drive his little sister home on her first day of Junior year at high school."
To Allen, he said, "Komui is the school principal, and Lenalee's brother. He has a serious sister-complex."
"Oh."
Ten minutes later, the car screeched to a stop outside Allen's house.
"Get out, brat," Kanda snapped at him.
"Thanks for the ride!" Allen called after him as the black convertible sped away.
