This is my attempt at Redoing Attack On Alice. I hope everyone likes it. There have been some changes between the first attempt and this one, hope nobody minds. :)
P.s. Sorry for any mistakes, I tend to overlook some of them.
~Alice POV~
It was early in the morning, too early. The alarm had already gone off about six times and I didn't know if I could get up the will to roll over and snooze it again. Despite my great efforts to fall back to sleep the sun decided it wanted to shine through my curtains right into my eyes, forcing a groggy, annoyed, groan to pass my lips and a harsh swat of my hand to silence the wretched, insistent beeping of the alarm clock. Wearily I drug myself from my warm blankets and onto the cold hardwood floors.
I glanced at the calendar with a small hope that I had gotten my days mixed up and maybe I could return to the comfort of my bed. Hope crushed. There on the calendar, covered in big red marker in an attempt to scratch out the day, was the proof that I had to get up and head to my first day of school. Not only was it my first day of a NEW school, it was my first time going to an actual school in years. My father took me out of school when I was younger, saying something about me not needing an education for my career, and when my brother got custody of me he worked his ass off homeschooling me to try and catch me up so I could go to school with kids my age. Thank god I got my smarts from my mother, may her soul rest easy knowing that.
With one last dash of hope, I fell back to my welcoming blanket and buried my face in my pillow. That hope was crushed too soon by my, oh so loving, brother.
"Alice, get your ass out of bed already!" There was a pause, like he was expecting me to respond. "Alice! I don't have time to take you to school, I have to be there before you!"
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, my brother took a job at the school to keep an eye on me. He's going to be the new gym/self defense teacher. How he managed to convince the principal to let him teach self defence to a bunch of highschoolers is beyond me. The guy must be just as crazy as my brother.
Finally after one last yell from my brother I got out of bed. I was dreading this day, if that's not obvious.
I picked up my IPod and plugged the headphones into my ears, I was not about to listen to any of Damian's "words of encouragement". I rummaged through my dresser and pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans, followed by pulling a dark blue shirt with some swirly designs on it from my closet.
I walked down the stairs and past Damian, I could see his mouth moving but couldn't hear anything. I slid into the bathroom and as I was closing the door, caught the annoyed look he was giving me. I picked up the brush and brushed out my long white hair, leaving it down to fall to my waist. My pale blue/gray eyes looked back at me in the mirror as I assessed what all I would need for today. I'm not one to usually wear makeup but I decided to cover the scar above my right eye, so I put on just a little bit of concealer, and maybe a little eyeliner to make my eyes seem a little less sad. Finally I put the contact in my right eye so the color would match my other. The contact was a gift from Damian, as my eye tends to freak people out sometimes.
Removing my headphones I walked to the kitchen, where Damian was currently leaning against a counter glaring at me.
"You know, it would do you good to listen to me sometimes." He said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh hush. Aren't you going to be late for work?" I said, not really wanting to talk to him.
"No, but you're going to be late." He said, holding up my keys, giving them a small jingle to add emphasis.
"Oh hell no!" I yelled, jumping over the table to get to him, which proved to be futile as his height made it easy to keep the keys away from me. "Give them back, damn it!" I stood up on my tippy toes and waved my stretched arm in an attempt to snag the keys."Curse my inferior height!"
I growled and stepped back, I was just about to kick the crap out of hi when he grabs my leg and knocked me on my butt, easily moving away from me and to the doorway to the kitchen.
"You can't fight very well when you've just woken up, you should practice more, you never know what situation you could be in where you would need to fight." He said, waving the kays around some more, making the jingle. "If you can get them from me before I get to my car, you can have them." He said before turning and sprinting to the door.
I got up and chased after him, alas I didn't make it in time, I had just gotten out of the door as he was turning on his 2010 candy apple red Mustang. He waved bye to me as I flipped him off. It was going to be a long walk to school, and he was in for one hell of a payback.
~Damian POV~
I felt pretty bad about leaving Alice with no way to school, but she was asking for it. Besides she runs further distances than this every day. Whatever I have to say to make myself feel like less of a jerk, right? Besides she would probably just use this as an opportunity to not show up for school anyways. She has expressed her dislike with the idea of returning back to school for awhile, but I can't afford to not have a job anymore. I gave up everything to take care of her, she doesn't know that, she would just beat herself up more if she did. Anyways, her doctor said it would be good to try to get her reacquainted with people finally.
I decided to check and see if she by some chance made it to school on time, so I left the gym room and, using my little drawn out map, made my way to class B151. I walked into the doorway, almost unnoticed by the whole room, almost. I glanced around the class quickly searching for the familiar white haired girl.
"Hey! Is that the new teacher Hanji saw?" A girl munching on fries asked her friends in a hush hush manner. She was eyeballing me pretty hard. I'm not food chick.
"I have no idea, but my guess would be probably. I want to meet the new girl." A guy with two toned hair and a horse face said, less quietly.
I don't usually pay attention to other people's conversations but it's hard to ignore when they are talking about you and your sister. After realizing the teacher's attention was occupied by other things I decided to make my presence known.
"Mr. Pyxis," I heard the class go quiet as the attention was drawn to me. A few girls gasped, something I was used to. "I was wondering if my sister showed up for class today." I asked assertively.
He smelled of alcohol but I knew he was a good teacher, even if he did drink on school grounds, which for some reason the principle seems to overlook. He had one of the highest passing rates in the school.
"Hm?" He looked to me, "Oh Mr. Mikazuki, you sister huh? Would that be Miss Alyssa? No I don't think-" He was cut off by the door forcibly opening.
I turned to see my sister standing there in the doorway where I had just been. She was panting and looked tired. Tired and pissed, well more pissed than anything. If looks could kill I would be a pile of ashes. Thank god thats one thing those big blueish eyes can't do.
"Miss Alyssa please don't slam the door open" Pyxis walked over and examined the wall where the door hit. He seemed awfully calm about this situation, things like this must happen a lot.
"It's Alice." I could hear the venom laced in her voice. "Sorry about the wall, I've had a rough morning." She was so mad and while she was talking to him her anger was directed at me.
He looked between the two of us for a few. The longer we stood there the bigger my smirk grew and the more angry she grew.
"Did you enjoy your walk?" Yup, that set her off. She threw her book bag at me and I caught it.
"You're a bastard. A sick messed up bastard. Do you get off to this shit?" She yelled at me.
"Yeah, I don't think I do. You're my sister, why would I think something like that?" I said as I walked past her and set her bag down. I wonder how long it will take her to understand that one.
~Alice POV~
I stood there utterly confused. The class was giggling and I had no idea what just happened.
"Wait, what?" I turned to the door and Damien was gone.
I blinked a few times then looked to Mr. Pyxis then back to the door. He was looking at me like he was getting a headache.
"Well Uhm, Alice, find a seat." Mr Pyxis said after thinking of my name.
I looked at the class, everyone was giggling or laughing except one kid who was looking out the window with a bored expression. He didn't seem to be paying any attention to the situation at all. He had black hair styled in an undercut and he seemed kind of short. The only seat open was next to him. I walked over and dropped my bag on the desk and sat in my new seat. I felt uncomfortable in my clothes due to the dark colors and already hot day. That was a very long tiring walk.
I swear I will get him back for this, and what did he mean by "Why would I think somethin-" OH!
I practically slam my head into the desk when I realized that my brother was being a perverted asshole. Pyxis was standing at the front of the class about to say something when he saw me and seemingly decided to say something different.
"Alright, I have not had enough to drink for this today. Free day." Then he slumped out the door.
Everyone cheered and started chatting with their friends, probably about the new teacher and his little sister and what kind of weird relationship they have.
Well isn't this a fan-fucking-tastic way to start out my first day, fuck you Damian.
I side glanced at the male next to me, he really was short, he was only my height or an inch taller. He was dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and was wearing a black t-shirt that hugged his body in all the perfect, drool worthy, ways. His arms were muscular and you could just barely make out the lines from his abs through his thin shirt. I can't see much of his face but from what I can see he look handsome.
Stop drooling Alice! Of all my luck, I get stuck next to the hottie, he really is attractive. He seems mean though. He's not smiling and his eyes are so intense, wait, how do I know what his eyes look like?!
I snap out of my trance to find him looking right at me with a look that would kill if it could. He just caught me staring at him. This day just keeps getting better, and it just started. I quickly look away and grumble to myself as I burry my head in my arms. After a minute of hiding I got brave and glanced back up at him, he was looking back out the window.
Of course he is. What? Did you think he would still be looking? You really thought you were pretty enough to catch the attention of the hottie? Yeah right. I thought as I buried my face back in my arms, disappointed.
After first period my day got better, I went from a free period in first period to second period art class. I sat next to a boy named Armin and we talked and became friends. I learned about some of his friends, like Eren, who causes about as much commotion as me and my brother. Eren's adopted sister Mikasa, who always tries to keep Eren in line. There's Jean, who was apparently in my first period, which I was too distracted by, well, other things, to notice. There was Apparently another one of his friends in there too, her name was Sasha. He said she's normally eating so I think I recall smelling french fries, I did miss breakfast after all.
My Third Period was Damians class, which was the self defence class today so that students could learn what the class was about. It was a required class, the principal said you never know when you're going to need to know something like that in your life. He sounds more and more like my brother the more I learn about him. They're both insane.
I changed into our uniform and walked out and saw Armin who called me over to him. He was standing there with another guy and two girls. The other guy had messy brown hair and deep blue green eyes. Armin introduced him as Eren, the one he had told me about along with his sister Mikasa, who was was quiet and had short black hair and onyx eyes. The second girl was hyper and had brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and brown eyes and wore glasses. Armin told me her names Hanji, he said she likes dissecting things and is really strange.
I heard Damian start talking about the class.
"Fights can only be held while I am present. I must start the fight and it will continue until I call the match over. I will not be sexist, girls and guys will be paired together to fight. You don't want to hit a girl? You better hope she doesn't hit hard cause I won't call the match unless I feel that it's necessary." He was pretty much yelling, "to start I will call a student to show me what they can do. Hit me as hard as you wish. My objective will be to knock you off your feet your objective will be to get me off mine." He began to look for a student.
His eyes landed on me and then to the girl beside me. "Glasses get over here! Show me what you got."
He quickly knocked Hanji off her feet, due to her not expecting it. He called for another student, the man named Jean from my first period, I remember him now, he looks kind of like a horse. He also got knocked down pretty quickly, despite being eager. This continued with about five more students. I heard Eren mumble something about being able to fight my brother one handed, and something about everyone else was week. The mumbling earned him a smack on the head from Mikasa. Armin gave me a small smile to signal that this behavior was normal.
"What the hell is this? Isn't there a single person in here that knows the basics of defense and offence in a fight? Alyssa get your ass over here and show them how to fight!" Damian sounded pissed.
I smirked, I've been waiting for this. I walked up to him and stood there bored. My long white hair pulled back into a high ponytail.
"Hello Damian." I gave the most innocent look I could muster.
I for a second I thought I saw a mildly scared look in his eye and mentally wondered if it was real or not. If it was there it didn't last long, just like that he was back to his composure. He took a stance and waited for a moment. I was not going to hit him first and he knew it, my whole fighting style relied on defence. Offensive strikes were only executed once a defensive maneuver was used.
I stood there watching carefully. Damian threw a punch, I closed my eyes and smirked. I could hear his feet on the mat. I could hear everything. His foot pressing on the mat as he leaned into his punch, the delay in the shift between his feet, as he retracted his fake punch and lifted his right leg off the mat.
Wait for it.
I opened my eyes and dropped to the floor making his foot swing over my head. I swept my leg around catching his remaining foot and knocking him to the floor with a grunt. I stood looking down on him with a smirk. he just looked up wide eyed.
"Make me walk again ass." I said before turning my back towards him to walk away. My little group and the rest of the class were shocked.
Damian laughed hard. "I still have your keys Alice, it's gonna be a long walk home."
SHIT!
I Hope everyone enjoyed Chapter one. Leave some reviews. If you notice any mistakes feel free to let me know. I tend to miss a lot.
