20 Things You Shouldn't Do Around Ace

Alice had some regrets in life; as a matter of fact, we all do. But for most of us, meeting an uber-hot brunet with intense scarlet gaze wasn't something regrettable, right? (Be honest!)
For Alice Liddell...well, it might be regrettable. She earned several life-lessons; not to judge anyone by they appears (someone happy-go-lucky and cheerful with smiley attitude), and...several other lessons.
These 'other lessons' she's learned were specialized for a smiley bastard named Ace Pendragon, her new classmate and unfortunately, seatmate.
What are those? Well...Here we go!
1. Don't be nice to him
September, new semester, autumn. New students, new class, new faces. Alice, like most of us, got nervous about several things; what if she couldn't find a friend? What if no one likes her? What if she embarassed herself? What if no one wanted to sit with her?
"Good morning, class." The homeroom teacher strutted into the class, and the students greeted back boredly. He began to introduce himself and explained the lessons he's going to teach.
Alice looked around in worry. There was an empty seat and one next to hers. What if she's really sitting alone?
"Heeey! Sorry I'm late, hahaha! I got lost." A brunet with cheerful attitude came into the class, breaking the serious atmosphere.
"Ah, it's still the first day...so it's okay. Don't do this anymore, alright?" the teacher warned, and turned to the class. "Does anyone will be nice enough to be his seatmate?"
"Ugh, are you kidding me..."
"Not with him..."
The other students murmured nervously at the idea of sitting with the newcomer.
Alice, feeling awkward for sitting alone, quickly raised her hand. "You can sit with me, if you want to." She said awkwardly.
The latecomer grinned at her and quickly went to sit next to her. Alice sighed in relief and finally felt a bit at peace, for having a seatmate. She didn't notice the boy was leaning his chin to the desk, staring at her.
"Hey." He said, staring while she busily took notes. "I'm Ace Pendragon. You can call me Ace."
"Nice to meet you, Ace." Alice said, concentrating on her notes. "I'm Alice Liddell." She ended her introduction with the 'please-don't-talk-to-me-now' tone.
"Hey, hey," he said agaid.
"Hey-o." Alice answered, frowning at the whiteboard as the teacher wrote the syllabus.
"No one ever treat me nicely like you did."
"I'm not...It's just a seat." The dark blonde nonchalantly shrugged, and glanced to notice how close Ace was to her face. "Uh...you're too close."
His eyes twinkled and his smile grew wider. "Really? Sorry." He moved closer. "Now I'm much closer than too close, am I?"
"C-Can you...back off?"
Alice began to feel something wrong about sitting with this guy. Ace tilted his head, staring straight into her eyes—into her soul.
"You're the only one who'd sit with me, you know?"
"Personal space, please—"
"...Even my parents had never been as nice as you were." Ace chuckled and finally backed off. He huffed and clamped his hands. "Alright, from now on, I'm your number one fan, Alice!" he said, loud enough for the class to hear.
Alice gawked in shock, jaw on the ground. The other students looked terrified and shocked as well. The teacher cleared his throat.
"Now, is there someone else who wants to share their personal feelings to the class before we continue with Algebra?"
Alice wasn't expecting what was coming.
I'm trying this new thing; finishing short stories before updating! Next update will be on October 14th 2013. So that I'll know if you're interested, please leave reviews if you have the time.
