Chapter 1 : Complicated Feelings
"Mnngh…" I groaned as I looked up at the sky, which looks like it's on fire. "H-Huh? What the hell…?" I stood up… "What the—?! Sis?!" I ran over to her. "Sis! Are you okay?!" I asked worriedly. She was badly injured, but she grinned weakly at me. "Hey, Els, before I go, promise your sis one thing, will ya?" She said weakly, and I nodded. "Promise you'll continue live on even if I'm gone, 'kay?" She said. "W-What?!" "Just promise me that… Just promise me you will do it…"
"UWAAH!" I jumped up from my bed. "Tch… That stupid dream again…" I cursed. How long have I been having that dream…? Nine years…? It happened to me when I was eight… My sis and parents passed away, so I basically live alone in the school dormitories now. I looked at my alarm clock. "Six thirty… Might as well go to school early… FOR ONCE…" I got out of my bed and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror… Who the hell is that kid with that horrible messy— Oh wait, that's me…. Right… I sighed and brushed my teeth. After I was done, I got out of my pajamas, and put on a hoodie with checkered short sleeves and black jeans. I grabbed my bag and hung it over one shoulder.
As usual, I walked to school slowly, literally dragging myself to class. Once I reached the entrance of our class, I lazily slid the door open and looked inside. "Hm… No one's here. Guess I might as well continue sleeping here…" I sleepily walked to my desk. I hung my bag behind the chair, rested both my arms on the table with my head on them, and let sleep overcome me…
After what seemed like five minutes, I felt someone waking me up by shaking me. I tried to ignore it, but eventually it started to get annoying. "Ugh… What is it, goddamnit…" I said. "Els! WAKE UP!" I heard that sharp, piercing voice. I looked up and caught glimpse of purple. That stupid flat-chested shorty purple mage… "Tch…" "Did you just 'tch' me?!" She yelled and whacked me with her staff. "OW! Okay, okay, I'm up!" I yelled. "Geez, what is your problem?!" "You're not supposed to sleep in class!" "Oh yeah?! Who the hell says so?! And besides, it's not like Miss Stella is in here anyways!" I snapped back. I saw her face turning red from anger. Slowly, smirk made it's way to my face. "W-What? Your smirk is creeping me out…" She said with a dull look. "Oh, nothing, my *Ahem* Dear little princess," I said, my smirk getting bigger. "W-W-Wha?!" She staggered backwards, blushing. I covered my eyes and started laughing. "Ahahahahaha! You totally bought it! I was just kidding!" I was laughing so hard that tears were forming on the corner of my eyes. "W-Why you…" I heard Aisha say softly. I finally managed to stop laughing, and I saw her summon her staff again. Ooooh, shit, I'm fucked. I quickly got up from my seat and tried to run, but Aisha teleported and appeared before me. "Shit…" I softly cursed. "What was that?!" She yelled. "NOTHING! I-I'm sorry!" I quickly regretted my actions from before. "Tch… I'll let you go for this once, but don't think you'll be safe next time…" She chanted something and her staff disappeared. "Hm ~? What's wrong with those two early in the morning ~?" They both turned around at the sound of a familiar voice, and saw flash of greenish-yellowish hair. "Ah…. Rena…" I dusted off my shirt, not like there was anything on it, but who cares… I yawned. "Mornin' Rena…" I said. "Ohayo, Rena!" Aisha glomped Rena. Rena laughed, then pushed Aisha off her, who was also laughing. Since when were those two so close…? I silently thought.
Slowly, Raven, Chung and the others arrived. I just lazily watched them enter. The last one from the ElGang to arrive was Eve. Eve yawned and walked to her seat, which was next to Rena's, who was in front Aisha, who was next to me… Raven sat in front of me. "…Why the hell am I even sitting with this idiot?" I heard Aisha say in some kind of conversation with Rena. "Who you callin' and idiot, huh, purple-head?!" I said and glared. She glared back. "Tch… Who cares…" She continued talking to Rena while I just stayed silent. A few minutes passed. I looked at the clock on the wall at the back of the class. Twenty more minutes till class starts… I sighed, and searched through my bag for my lollipop. After I found it, I unwrapped the plastic around it and popped it into my mouth. I saw Aisha glare at me again. "What? You do realize that I know that you have been glaring at me a lot nowadays, right?" I said, irritated. "Hmph!" She turned away, and looked at the other direction. I got pissed off, so I just looked out the window on my left. I waited as time flowed slowly, and finally, it was time for the LAME and BORING lessons… Stella walked in, and we stood up and bowed. "Good morning, Miss Stella," the same line everyday… We sat down, and I sighed.
"Rena!" "Here!"
"Raven!" "…Present."
"Eve!" "Here."
"Aisha!" "Present!"
"Elsword!" "Not here…" Stella glared at me, and I just rolled my eyes. I finished eating the bit of candy in my mouth, and tossed the stick out the window.
"Ara!" "Here!" The list goes on and on… Until it was finally over…..
During English period, Stella asked us a lot of STUPID and USELESS things that I don't care about. I didn't even pay attention anyways… "Elsword! Elsword! ELSWORD!" Stella yelled. "What?" I said lazily. "Yes, ma'am!" "Yes ma'am…?" I said, annoyed. "What does 'contagious' mean?" "A feeling or attitude that is contagious spreads quickly among a group of people," I said without hesitating. I heard a group of girls saying stuff like, "Wow, he's such a genius!" "He doesn't even pay attention and yet he knows everything!" "Maybe I should ask him to tutor me!" Like I got time for that… I looked out the window, at the buildings and at the trees. The same scenery everyday…. I sighed. I can't wait till class is over….
And finally, break time arrived. I took my bento out of my bag, and sighed. I saw Eve staring at her necklace. "…" She stayed silent, then got up and went outside. I took my bento up to the rooftop and ate there. "Ah~ I just love it here, where it's peaceful and quiet… Not like a certain someone who always ruins my day with her annoying squirrel-like voice…" "Who do you think you're calling squirrel-like?!" I heard a voice yell at me. "Aisha…? What the hell are you doing here...?" I said. "What am I doing here? I always eat up here! Didn't you see me before, over there?" She pointed at the far end of the rooftop. "Oh… Well, I always sit here in the middle, not somewhere in a corner with shadows…" I said. "…" She stayed silent, then walked over to the corner and ate her lunch from her bento. I finished my bento in a matter of minutes, then looked up at the sky. "Hey Els?" I heard Aisha say from her corner. "What?" "You got rice on your cheek," I heard her giggle a little, and I slightly blushed from embarrassment. "Sh-Shut up…" I rubbed my cheek. Aisha walked over. "Over here," She poked my cheek. "T-Thanks…" I softly scratched the side of my face. "You're welcome," She said, as she fling the small piece of rice away and sat next to me. "Why are you sitting here…?" "There's no rule that says I can't sit next to you, is there?" "…" I sighed. "Whatever…" We remained silent, staring at the blue sky until the bell rang. "Let's get back to class..." Aisha said, getting up. I also got up and walked to the door leading to the stairs. I waited for Aisha. She walked over slowly and we both walked back to class together. "Oh? What's this?" We heard Rena's sing-song voice. "Were you two dating on the rooftop?" She said, giggling. "NO, WE WEREN'T, AND WE WILL NEVER!" Aisha and I yelled in unison. "Oh really?" Rena said. "Yes, really," I said and walked back to my seat.
The bell finally rang, signaling that the final period of the day was over. "Finally…" I sighed as I packed my stuff. "Um… Elsword?" I heard a soft voice. "Hm?" I turned around, and saw Eve. "Oh, Eve! What is it?" I grabbed my bag and walked over to her, smiling. "Are you and Aisha…. Are you and Aisha in a r-relationship….?" She said while fidgeting with her fingers. "WHAT?! No, no, no, no, no! Of course we aren't!" I said. "Really? Phew, am I relieved…" Eve had a relieved look on her face. "…Why? Are you jealous?" I said, slightly smirking. "What?! No! I was just… Curious!" She said. "A-Anyways, I gotta go now, bye!" She quickly ran away. "…That was weird…. Ah well… Back to the dorms…" I walked out of the class, and walked towards the school gate, where I saw Aisha and some guys. "Come on, Aisha! I'll walk you home!" One of the guys said. "But I live in the dorms!" "Then, I'll walk you back to the dorm! It's unsafe for a girl like you to walk back alone, you know!" He grabbed her arm. "L-Let go of me!" Aisha said. I stared. Aisha probably saw me standing there, staring at her. She said something silently. 'Help me'? I sighed, then nodded. I walked over. "Hey, you guys, let her go," I said coolly. "Why should we? It's not like you're walking her ho—" I kicked his leg. "Still feel like saying anything?" I balled my hands into a fist. "Aisha's going back to the dorm with me," I said, and I saw her looked at me, eyes filled with shock for a while, then she nodded and did her part. "Yeah! Elsword's going to walk me back to the dorm!" She said and she grabbed my hand, which caused me to blush a little. "Let's go, Elsword!" She dragged me away from the school compound. "Thanks for saving me," She made a smile that I've never seen before. "It was no big deal, really," I said. "Hey Elsword?" "Hm?" "Do you mind walking me back to the dorm starting from next time?" She asked me. I thought about it for a while. "Please? It's kinda scary, since those guys are always after me…" She said. "After you put it that way, it's impossible for me to reject, is it?" I said, chuckling. "Sure, why not?" I beamed a smile at her. "Thanks!" She hugged my arm, making me blush again. We walked all the way back like that.
When we reached the dorm, she thanked me for walking her back and went up to her room. I went to mine, and slumped on my bed, sighing. I looked at my hand which Aisha held just now, and blushed again.
"What is wrong with me…"
- End of Chapter 1! -
Ruii : Before you say anything, you're probably wondering why is there 'Elsword x Aisha' and 'Aisha x Elsword' in the summary right? Well, I'll explain. The characters' name before the 'x' is the person who likes the person after the 'x'. For example, 'Elsword x Aisha' means Elsword likes Aisha, 'Raven x Rena' means Raven likes Rena, but 'Rena x Chung' completely tells you that Rena doesn't like Raven, but likes Chung instead. But then, since I'm a horrible person, I added 'Chung x Eve', which tells you that Chung doesn't like Rena, but likes Eve. And 'Eve x Elsword', obviously means Eve likes Elsword, but as you know, Elsword likes Aisha. 'Aisha x Elsword', means Aisha likes Elsword. Now you know the reason why I named this story 'A Circle of Love', don't you?
Everyone except Ruii : That is the most complicated explanation I have ever heard.
Ruii : *Shrugs* That's the only way for me to explain it...
Elsword : So the Elsword x Aisha / Aisha x Elsword couple stays, huh. = A =''
Ruii : I love you two as a couple, so shaddap and stop complaining.
Raven : Wow, it really is a circle of love...
Chung : Why wasn't I in this chapter?! ; A ;''
Rena : You're probably gonna be a new student..
Ara : Then why aren't I in this chapter?!
Ruii : ...I forgot about you...
Eve : Whaddahellisthisshit.
Ruii : ...I don't hear nothin'.
Raven : I didn't have any lines...
Ruii : STOP COMPLAINING, GODDAMNIT! D:
Everyone : *Shuts up*
Ruii : Thank you. ==
Rikka : Before you end this, can I say one thing?
Ruii : Yes?
Rikka : ...I didn't help Ruii make this, I just gave her the idea for the title, and I'm just gonna add this as a little extra : Rena x Chung is a rare couple indeed... Although it's supposed to be Ruii saying that XD
Ruii : You done yet?
Rikka : Yes.
Ruii : Good. I'll see you SOON, everyone! XD
Everyone : *Waves* :DD
