I don't own D. gray-man

[Seven Days]- Day 0

As the days went on, those fine grinds of sand grew smaller and smaller as they fell through the tunnel to rejoin their many tiny friends on the other side.

The sound of my heart is growing faint beneath these icy fingers of mine. Only when I have found my way back into your arms will they become warm again.

Cheesy. That was the first thing that came to mind as my English teacher read the last poem.

"And that class is what I would like to call a trashy clichéd spin-off of Romeo and Juliet." The girl sitting in the desk next to me exclaimed as she threw her arms up in the air to emphasis her point.

"Shut it, Miss Road. I'm in no mood for your smart remarks today." Mr. Bak commanded, Road shut up instantly as he turned to write notes on the board. I took to staring out the window.

The whether outside wasn't all that peachy, really. The skies were painted with many different colors of gray as liquid was released from the clouds and fell on whatever happen to be in its path. I have always hated rainy days. I liked the sunshine and the warm air, not the ice cold water and muggy atmosphere

I jumped when the bell rang. Ten minutes pasted without me even realizing it. All students that shared this period with me jumped from their seats and went in search of food. I got up out of my sit as well, heading towards the door. The moment I held my hand out to push the classroom door open, it was practically ripped from it's hinges.

Lenalee stood before me in all her glory, her hair pulled back tightly into her usually pigtails. "You," She growled, glaring at me. She looked liked she was ready to kill something. She gripped my wrist and dragged me out into the hall.

"Um, and what do I owe this kind visit?" I questioned as she continued to drag me. She didn't answer me as she took a turn down another hall. She used her foot to kick open the double doors that lead outside. She released my arm as soon as the doors closed.

"Sit." She commanded, gesturing to the ground. I arched an eyebrow.

"You do realize that it is raining, right?" I asked.

"And do you realize that I don't care?" She shot back as she brought her hands up to rest on her hips. I just sat down as ordered at that. I didn't have a death wish.

"You broke up with her, you basturd, and she really liked you." Lenalee said, glaring down at me.

"Broke up with whom?" I asked.

Her glare intensified.

"Don't play games with me, Allen." She growled.

"I don't see what I did wrong." I said, calmly. "I think you need to take a deep breathe and sit down. Getting angry with me isn't going to help anything." Lenalee sighed as I watched her cautiously; she then dropped to her knees in front of me.

"Why do you do this?" She asked quietly as she slid to my right side.

"You haven't told me what I did yet." I stated.

"You broke up with Road. And she really liked you."

Oh. So that's what this was all about. Road Kamelot, the girl in my class.

"Why do you do this?" She asked again as she leaned against me; her long black hair falling into my lap. I was so taken back by her question-now that I knew what she was talking about- that I just sat there, gazing out at the rain. "Well?"

"I don't understand what you mean." I said plainly. Lenalee leaned her head back and glared at me and in all honesty, that glare was scaring the shit out of me; for the lack of a better word, of course.

"Allen," She began as he moved to sit in front on me. "You know what I'm talking about."

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, Lenalee." I said as I leaned forward.

"You are so infuriating." She growled as she lay down on the pavement. I raised an eyebrow at this.

"How so? I do believe that I have a right to end a relationship if I believe that it is going nowhere." I said kindly. She was kind of grating on my nerves. Why was this any of her business anyway?

"That's not what I mean." She said.

"Then what the hell do you mean, Lenalee? You're accusing me of something that I didn't do!" I spat as I stood up. She jumped up as well, shoving her face in mine.

"I'm talking about you going out with these girls that are head over heels for you and you don't even have any feelings for them at all!"

"Uh?" I said as I backed down.

"Yeah, "Uh" is right, Allen." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest, her black hair hanging down to her rip cage.

"Is your hair so pretty because you're Asian?" I asked jokingly, Lenalee rolled her eyes.

"No, I take care of it, now stop changing the subject and answer my question." She said as she began to walk back inside the building. I followed after her.

"I just don't want to hurt their feelings by rejecting them." I said, looking down at the ground. That wasn't the only reason.

"But what do you think hurts more, knowing that you didn't have a chance with the person and be able to move on with life and find someone else, or believing that you had something and then have your heart shattered when you realize that the feeling was not mutual?"

I thought about her words for a moment. I never really considered that what I was doing by accepting their offer that I would be hurting them even more in the long run. It wasn't just because I didn't want to hurt their feelings; I did like the girls that ask me out. To be honest, I really did like Road in the beginning, but after a while, the feeling seemed to pass and I ended it.

Why would I continue a relationship when it has no hope of going anywhere?

"Lenalee," I began, leaning my back against the wall and crossing my arms across my chest. "You are getting me confused with someone else." She sat up and gave me a look of question.

"Like?" She asked.

"That book dude. Levi? Rabi?"

Lenalee looked away from me. "Lavi," She said softly. "His name is Lavi Bookman."

Lenalee and Lavi use to have an ongoing relationship. From what I've heard, he only dated girls for a week and if he decided that he was not in love with the current girl he was dating, then he would break up with them. Lenalee was the only girl he had dated for more than seven days.

"I'm sorry, Lenalee. I didn't mean to bring him up." She shook her head and began walking again. I followed after her. "Lenalee?"

"Don't worry about it, Allen. It's okay, really it is. I'm still friends with Lavi and I still hangout with him outside of school. I'm sorry if what I said offended you."

I had no response to what she had said. She knows that she is to cute to be angry with. Well, at least in my case.

"Allen?" She said after a moment of silence.

"Hm?"

"Are you angry with me?" She stopped walking once again and looked down at her feet. I step up to her, and ran my hand through her hair. She leaned into the touch.

"I have told you before. You are far too cute for me to be angry with." She smiled at me and grabbed my hand.

"You really are something else, Allen." It was the last thing she said as the bell rang.

It was my last class of the day and I took to staring at the back of Road's head as I thought of the conversation I had with Lenalee.

Was I really that harsh when I broke up with her? She seemed like she was okay with everything, but with girls, it's kind of hard to notice that something is wrong. They go from being all cheerful and for of gee, but then they become absolutely murderous.

A strange creature indeed.

The ringing of the bell snapped me out of my daze and everyone jumped from their seats and rushed to the door.

"Road," I called out as I dropped my bag on my shoulder. She turned to look at me.

"Yes, Allen?" She said as she turned to face me.

"I need to ask you something." She placed her hands on her hips and waited for me to continue. I leaned against the desk behind my, crossing my arms, trying to make myself appear serious. Hell, I was serious.

"Are you angry with me?" She seemed surprised by the question. Her hand came up to her forehead and she let out a sigh.

"No," She said softly. "I knew from the start that it wouldn't last forever." She paused for a moment, tucking her hair behind her ear. "It's just that… most girls… we like to believe that things will last forever. It's not just girls really. People in general don't want to admit that some things just aren't going to work out. It's part of what makes us human." She paused again and gripped my arm. "Walk and talk with me, baby."

We walked in silence for quite a while before she spoke up again. "I could honestly never hate you, Allen. I think too much of you as a person to ever bring myself to such a level."

Her words made me feel uncomfortable. I felt like I didn't deserve what she was saying to me. "But… why?"

"Why what?"

I stopped walking and ran a hand over my face; I could still feel my scar on my face. "What's there to like?"

"You really don't see it?" My answer was silence and she groaned. "Geez, I don't know, Allen, maybe it's just the fact that you are you. You're not what other people say. You're one of a kind and theirs no one who is just the same as you in the world."

"That's cheesy as hell for someone like you to be saying."

"Cheesy or not, Allen, I mean what I say. You know that." I didn't say anything back; there was nothing I could say. "I'm out. See ya, Monday." She said as she pulled me foreword into a hug. She skipped off out of sight. I just continued to wander.

I just… wandered. I didn't know how long it was that I just walked when I had ran into someone or something

Okay, I'm lying. I tripped over my untied shoelace while I opened the double doors to go outside and smashed my face against the concrete, but I'm saving myself the embarrassment for future references. And when people say, "Speck of the devil" they damn well mean it. Lavi just looked at me from where he was sitting. His legs were stretched out and he had a book in his lap.

"What's up? Having a nice fall?" I groaned and picked myself up. What a smartass.

"Ha, ha, you are hilarious. Are you studying to become a comedian?" I spat.

"Woah, woah, there little buddy." He exclaimed holding his hands out in front of him in defense. "I didn't mean to make you upset. My bad."

"Tch." He brought his hand up to cover a smile that was making its way across his face. "What?" I asked. I didn't know what it was about this guy, but I was only with him for all of two freaking seconds and he was already getting on my nerves.

"Nothing," He said. "You just reminded me of someone I know."

I didn't say anything and after a while, the redhead just went back to reading his book.

"You're name is Allen, right? Allen Walker?" He asked. I had since taken it upon myself to just lay on the concrete until my head stopped hurting.

"Yeah and you're Lavi Bookman, right?"

"Yeah."

I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

3:18

I needed to start heading home or Master just might kill me.

"You have a phone?" Lavi asked. "Why don't we exchange numbers?" He pulled out his own phone (which was a Blackberry) and handed it over to me, I slowly handed mine over to him. He was quick with placing himself as a contact in my phone. It took him all by seconds to do it before he practically threw it back in my face. I gave him back his when I was done.

"So you're the infamous Allen Walker, huh?" Lavi asked as he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

"Yeah, I don't know where you got the infamous part from though." I said as I sat up and moved over to lean on the wall next to him.

"Well, you're the guy that all the girls fall in love with. They call you the "White Knight" you know. I guess that's due to your hair." He said with a laugh. I didn't say anything and just stared at him.

"What, do I have something on my face?" I shook my head.

"I was looking at your earrings and wondering if they are real." I said as I moved my arm and flicked the loop in his ear. He looked at bit taken back that I had touched the earring but didn't look put off in the least. He just kept smiling and stuck his finger through the loop and pulled down, causing his skin to stretch and my stomach to turn.

"That's disgusting." I stated.

"I also have a tongue ring." He said as he stuck his tongue out, the barbell moving up and down as he pressed it against his teeth repeatedly.

"Please, by all means. Stop." He clicked his tongue against his teeth as he smirked and withdrew his tongue back into his mouth. After a moment, a thought slipped into my mind. "Hey."

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?" His eyebrow raised in question

"You kinda just did." He said, the smirk on his face coming back again. I glared at him. "Shoot."

"Do you go out with everybody that asks you out?"

"Yes, why?"

I don't know why I asked it, but I did. I should have just shot myself before I stooped to such stupidity.

"Why not go out with me?"
