Hey minna-san! Here are some reminders:
'Thoughts' "speaking" flashback
So now on to the story! :
Chapter 1: The Dare (it's sorta like a flashback; a before the story)
LAST WEEK OF WINTER BREAK; LAVI'S HOUSE FOR A PARTY:
"Heyyyyyy Yuu-chan~. We're playing 'Choices and dares' wanna play," said a drunk Lavi. Kanda glared at him. "Aww come on! It's just a game….. Or are you scared?" Lavi smirked. Lavi knew Kanda couldn't pass up a challenge. "Che. Fine I guess it wouldn't hurt." Lavi smirked again.
Kanda sat with a few other guys that were there. As the game progressed so did the dares. Eventually it was Kanda's turn. All of the other boys were somewhat drunk with an exception of Kanda whose house wasn't within walking distance. The boys had begun to talk about the new girl in between dares.
Ellen was her name. She had transferred a week after school had started. Although the reason was unknown for her transfer; they always tried to get close to the girl. Only Lavi and Lenali had become close to the girl but there was a motive behind that. Lenali had her own group. They always got close to the new girl and secretly put her down. They were the ones who called her 'Circus Freak' or the 'Lost Circus Princess' after finding out about her childhood. Lavi was a playboy who was dared to become friends with her and just wanted to embarrass her. They had the same goals as everyone so they were satisfied with Lenali and Lavi. Kanda had somehow become involved with the white haired girl too. In truth they were only interested in Ellen because they wanted to know the history behind her looks. She was fairly tall for a girl. She had waist length white hair and silver colored eyes. She had a weird scar running through the left side of her face and her left arm was black . Her shoulder had a tattoo-like design on it along with a red cross on the back of her hand. These things made her unique and yet she was shunned or made fun of for it.
Back to the dare… Kanda waited as the group of drunken boys huddled together to come up with the dare. Reever cheered as they came to a conclusion after several minutes. "Hey Kanda ready for the dare. Okay here it goes. You have to date Ellen for a year and dump her in front of the whole school or dress like a girl for two weeks." Kanda glared at the group of boys; he would never dress like a girl because of his pride. "I'll date then dump her." They cheered. 'Che. It's not like I'll actually get attached to the stupid girl.' Kanda thought to himself. Little did he know is that he would come to care for the girl and regret not swallowing his pride for that dare.
AT SCHOOL:
Monday came and Kanda was to confess to Ellen. They had been hanging out together and the guys had taken advantage of this. So after school at 3:45 PM Kanda had asked Ellen to meet him behind the school at that time. When the time came Ellen was there waiting for Kanda. She wore a white V-neck, gray vest, black skinny jeans, and knee high combat boots along with a red sweater. The colors had somehow matched nicely on the girl. "Hey Ellen. You were here early." "Ya. I had the day off from work and no one waiting for me at home since Neah is at work today." Kanda was surprised that she had a job. She was only fifteen for god's sake! Recollecting his thoughts he was ready to ask the question. "Oh Ellen I wanted to ask you…. Will you be my girlfriend?" Elena gasped. This was the first time someone confessed to her. She covered her mouth with her hands. She was near tears. Kanda looked up and was shocked to see Ellen close to tears. Ellen had fallen to her knees and began to cry. Kanda felt awkward so he merely sat beside her and patted her back until she calmed down. After a moments silence Ellen spoke up. "Yes Kanda. I would be happy to be your girlfriend." "Okay come on let's get you back home then." "Sure. Thank you." Kanda looked confused. He didn't understand how much those words had meant to Ellen. Ellen told Kanda where her apartment was. They bid their farewells and went their separate ways.
Once inside the comfort of her home, Ellen ran towards her room. She was just so happy. She had a crush on Kanda since day one. To her it was a dream come true. Once she got there she quickly grabbed her diary. She had it cleverly disguised it like one of the many music books she had in her room. The only difference between her diary and the books was the front cover. All the other books said music on the cover while her diary had a unique musical score that Mana, their father, had made with Ellen and Neah. It was the score for a lullaby they named 'The 14th's melody'. The song would not sound right unless played a piano so they always had a piano with them in their house no matter where they went.
She got her diary and wrote her entry that went like this…..
January 15, 2013
Dear Really Sappy, Girly diary that I am forced to write in:
Omg! Kanda confessed to me today! I couldn't be any happier not even when Mana adopted me and Neah. Ok never mind this is a second but still. I had actually had a crush on Kanda since day one. The only reason I think he never found out is because I've been good at hiding my feelings.
I've learned how to do that when I was living in the streets with Neah and getting weird jobs in different circuses until Cosmos told the local orphanage. Ha-ha….. I think that was the only thing Cosmos did right. I swear being a boy was hard but at least it's over. I don't really remember much but I know it has to do with 'her'. Well anyways….. Back to my Kanda.
Yes! *w* I am just soooooooo Damn HAPPY! Oh damn Neah's home. Oh shit it's 11:30. When did I fall asleep? Good thing I did my homework earlier. Good bye for today stupid diary
Love,
Ellen Walker
Back To Ellen… "Ellen what are you doing awake?" Neah asked Ellen. She had been caught pretending to be asleep. "Umm well you see… I was writing in my diary and fell asleep. I woke up finished my entry and you came." Neah sighed. "Okay go back to bed. You have work tomorrow." "Okay sure thing. Oh and Kanda confessed to me today." "Hey Ellen. Be careful with that man. He might just be there to hurt you later on." "Yes Neah. I'll be careful." Neah didn't know how accurate he had been.
As the year progressed so did Kanda and Ellen's relationship. The teasing had stopped and Kanda stayed with Ellen through good and bad. Though the relationship wasn't the only thing that grew. Kanda began to have feelings for the girl. He fell in love with her unique features. He fell in love with her personality; He fell head over heels in love for the girl named Ellen Red Walker. But like someone had once said all good things must come to an end. January 15 had come again. There was to be an assembly that day and Kanda was going to be the one speaking. That was the day where everything went insane.
Well there's the first chapter. I'll try to update whenever I can. Review please! Thanks, \(^w^)/
