Hey guys,
So I started playing on My Candy Love a few months back because I saw an advert on Fanfiction and I decided to start playing as a joke, but for whatever reason I got really into it and here I am. I'm kind of ashamed that a) I'm 16 years old and playing on MCL while the rest of people my age are going out partying and b)the closest thing that I have to a romance is my 100 affinity with the MCL guys. But let's not dwell on that. Here I am, nuff said.
Okay, so the summary makes the girl sound like a total hoe bag but please give this a shot. I hate any love shapes (triangle, square) and I'm happy with the good old right angle- only two people- but on the homepage it does say 'Make guys fall for you and collect as many hearts as you can'.
So this story is Lysander/Candy, Castiel/Candy and Nathaniel/Candy but after I've reached the end of this story there'll be a spin off for each of the different guys so y'all will be happy. Oh, and and and, I'm only up to episode 14 and seen spoilers of later episodes so keep that in mind. This story doesn't follow the game (for example: Alexy and Armin arrive prior to Candy) but some things will be based off it.
Let's all love maths shapes not romance shapes guys! Unless it comes to MCL and then it's okay cause they are all hotties. Oh, and if anyone wants to be friends with me on MCL (because I have no friends... Don't judge, I'm a selfish hoe and just want all the boys to love me instead of gaining lasting friendships) then just put your username in a review. Shamelessly begging for friends here.
I'm done talking. Bye. I'm making a fool of myself. Super long author's note. Sorry guys, I ramble.
"And finally..." The principal paused as she pushed open the doors, stepping in front as she ushered me through the doorway, "This is the courtyard."
I exited and stood a little away from the door as my eyes searched around the 'courtyard', I felt colder after being inside for just under an hour and I felt goose bumps start to prick up along the skin of my bear arms. It wasn't anything special; there were some bushes, a bench and a paved area in the centre. But it was nice, the whole school was nice. It wasn't extraordinary, but not many things were.
I rubbed the palms of my hands together as the principal continued talking about enrolment forms and student ID photos and I half listened (making sure that if she asked me any questions, I'd be able to answer. And also wanting not to block her out completely like I'm sure a lot of other teenagers in this position had probably done) while also trying to get used to the new surroundings. I wasn't fond of being a new student part way through the school year but I was going to make the most of it, because what else was there to do? Kick and scream?
The principal made a little squeaking noise and it caused me to look up from the spot my eyes had been fixed upon and turn to her now flushed face. Her own eyes were trained to a figure just exiting through the doors of another building- the gym, I now knew- and she looked rather flustered all of a sudden. In the short time I'd known her, I was coming to realise that her moods swung from calm to annoyed like the balls in Newton's cradle swung side to side.
I briefly wondered whether I'd get used to that.
After the figure had come closer I realised that they were a male with chin length red hair and a somewhat bored expression on their face. I also realised that apparently said male and the principal weren't exactly sharing a pot of tea in her office while laughing over a tray of scones.
"Castiel, aren't you supposed to be in class?" The woman hissed, her glasses sliding down her nose a little as she patted a few wisps of hair down simultaneously.
The boy I now knew as Castiel just quirked up the corner of his lip into a little smirk as he stopped in front of us both, his arms folding across his chest as I saw him eye me up and down. The fact that he was so obviously giving me a once over caused me to have to stop myself from squirming, but despite my lack of comfort I forced a friendly smile onto my lips. "Huh, yeah I got kicked out. I was supposed to be coming to find you, so isn't it lovely that we bumped into each other."
He turned to the principal finally and I tried not to breathe a sigh of relief, I wasn't suffering from extreme low self-esteem but I didn't find any joy in being put under any scrutiny. The principal was still trying to control her hair and while she looked slightly less pink, she certainly wasn't a normal colouring just yet. "W-Well, I'm just showing our new student around. Just... Just go to my office and wait there."
"I'm Aurora... Uh, I'm the new student. I really like the gardening club because of all the flowers," I butted in without thinking and then found myself blushing slightly, I let out a gentle laugh and when I looked over at Castiel he had a small, amused smile curling up the corners of his lips. Gardening club? Flowers?
"Yes, yes, come along now Aurora," The principal was issuing me back inside the school, wafting her hands about in an exaggerated gesture. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her giving Castiel a dirty look over her shoulder and I stifled my laughter.
"Why don't you go and find Nathaniel in the student council room? Yes, Nathaniel will be very helpful."
The principal's hand had found its way to my back and was gently pushing me forward, I may not be any Sherlock but I'm guessing that she didn't exactly want me and Castiel to team up and become BFFs. I continued walking until we were all standing in the school hallway and I guessed that if I didn't get myself into the council room I wasn't going to be invited to that tea and scone session either.
Castiel grunted at her comment and I think that he may have muttered under his breath, "If you want to die of boredom."
I raised up my eyebrow before heading towards the door of the council room, only looking back once to see the principal muttering something under her breath as she walked up the corridor with Castiel slouching along besides her with a grumpy expression on his face, he glanced back at me and our eyes locked for a second before I hurried into the council room, tearing my gaze away from his.
In my haste I found myself half walking, half falling through the doorway into the council room and nearly knocked a chair over in the process. Well done, Aurora, how graceful.
"Are you okay?" A voice spoke up and my head snapped up to see who had witnessed my clumsiness, and my eyes landed on a blonde boy who was sitting down in a chair at the end desk who seemed to have just looked up from rifling through a pile of papers.
I blew the hair that had fallen out of my face away and straightened out the sweater I was wearing as I took a step forward, trying to stop my cheeks from heating up. I'd been here barely five seconds and I'd already blushed enough for a lifetime, "Uh... Yes. Just embarrassed that I can't walk through a doorway without tripping over."
"Ah, mortification, that old thing. It's lucky you're only eye witness was me, I won't go telling anyone," The blonde boy answered as he went back to whatever he was looking at before my noisy entrance. Now that I took the time to observe him I realised that despite the smart shirt he was wearing, he looked kind of rumpled. Like he was stressed out and needed some fresh air. "So what are you doing in here? I hope you don't mind my asking it's just that not many venture into the council room."
I smiled brightly while I tucked some flyaway hairs back behind my ear. I took a few more steps into the room so that there was a shortened distance between us both and shrugged my shoulders, "I'm new and the principal had her hands full and decided to issue me off to a Nathaniel? Uh... I'm guessing that's you."
"You'd be guessing right. I'm Nathaniel," He was looking at me again but with thankfully less scrutiny than Castiel. I really hoped that first impressions didn't count for much seeing as I wasn't doing a very good job on that so far. Blushing like an idiot, talking about flowers, falling through doors...
"Hey, I'm Aurora. Nice to meet you."
Nathaniel's eyebrow twitched up while a smile spread across his lips at the same time, it looked better on him and I got the feeling that he didn't smile an awful lot. It must be all the paperwork. "Nice to meet you too, Aurora... Did the principal sort out your enrolment forms and Student ID photo?"
"Yes, she said that my parents and her sorted all that out last week."
He nodded and I made another step towards him, I wasn't exactly the best with new people and approaching people like they were wild animals probably wasn't best so I just went ahead and sat down in the chair next to Nathaniel.
"That's good, you're all sorted then. Welcome to Sweet Amoris," Nathaniel said and when he turned to look at me he jolted slightly like he hadn't expected me to be so close. I smiled sheepishly at him and he just chuckled while sort of half putting his head in his hands.
"I'm not any mystic Meg but I get the feeling that I'll like it here."
Nathaniel gave me a somewhat surprised look, his eyes opening slightly wider than before as his eyebrows rose at the same time, "Really? Well I hope that your prediction is accurate."
"If everyone else is as nice as you, how would it be wrong?" I just hoped that I hadn't spoken too soon.
I found myself wandering the hallways at lunchtime, I wasn't the most outgoing girl in the world and I didn't normally just walk up to new people and introduce myself. In a new school that left me just praying that someone would take pity on me and come to talk to me. I decided to just head outside, it was breezy and I knew my hair was bound to frizz up but I should probably be getting my vitamin D for the day. I sat down at the bench and placed my bag in the space beside me; I pulled out my phone and checked through my messages. Three new messages.
From: Dad
hey honey, just wanted to make sure you were settling in okay- dad xx
From: Mum
Is everything ok? Is everyone nice? You haven't got lost have you? The principal sorted everything out? Just call me if you need anything. Love you x
From: Mum
Aurora? Sweetie? You are okay aren't you? I'm so worried about you xxxx
I found myself smiling at my parent's obvious concern, I knew a lot of teenagers weren't happy with consistent pestering from their parents but I was thankful that my parents clearly cared so much about me. I knew a lot of people who weren't so lucky. I sent a quick response telling them both that I was fine, and added on my mum's that she didn't need to worry so much. I knew even while I was typing my message that she was going to worry whatever I said. I was so busy trying to manoeuvre around the key pad, I'd never been a technology fan seeing as we never saw eye to eye- I'd had a lot of fights with my laptop, that I didn't notice the shadow that had fallen over me.
"I heard that we had a new person! I'm so glad that my space as newbie has been filled," An excited voice broke through my reverie and I looked up to find a boy wearing colourful clothes smiling down at me. I was somewhat blinded by the sunlight so I placed a hand to my forehead to block the rays after blinking a few times.
"Is it that tough? What's the initiation? A head-down-toilet situation?" I asked with a grin and the boy laughed before picking up my bag, placing it on the floor before sitting down in the space that was now open on the bench.
"Oh it's not that bad. Just a soaking in the showers," He responded and his big smile told me that he was only teasing with me so I let out a laugh.
"Well at least I'll be clean."
"They don't give you a free shampoo though," He then proceeded to shove his hand into my face as he added; "I'm Alexy."
I took his outstretched hand and shook it, "Aurora."
"So I'm going to introduce you to my 'crew'. Otherwise known as the best people in this school," He then took me by the hand without warning and I only just had time to grab my bag before I was being pulled up off the bench and across the courtyard. I think I saw Castiel giving us a curious look from across the courtyard but I ignored it as I was dragged through the doors of the school that I'd previously exited. I hurried after Alexy as we darted down the hallway, making sure that I didn't trip for the second time today and also listening to the sound of our footsteps beating against the linoleum.
Before I knew it I found myself in a classroom that didn't look that dissimilar to the council room, I'd probably been taken to see this classroom earlier on my little school tour but I hadn't really registered all that much seeing as I was still feeling a little overwhelmed with being in a new school. It didn't seem like not that long ago I was in a completely different town with completely different people.
Alexy still had held of my hand and he used his free hand to do an extravagant sweeping gesture in front of my body as he said in a loud voice to the few people that were in the room (after closer inspection later after regaining my balance and losing the fear that I'd be dragged away again like a flip flop on the beach stuck in the waves I realised there was a girl sketching, a boy frantically tapping on a video console and a red headed girl who was chattering to them both while the two of them seemed to be ignoring her.)
"Guys, behold..." He trailed off and I think he was trying to gain suspense as after a long pause he added, "The Aurora. A new species that has been put into a strange habitat, I think we should all welcome her into our wolf pack."
"Hey! I heard there was a new girl, Nathaniel mentioned it to me earlier," The red headed girl smiled and paused her conversation with the two either side of her as she looked up at the two of us as I hovered in the doorway and Alexy held my hand.
Alexy led me over to the desk in front of them all and sat down in one of the chairs, he let go of my hand and I sat down in the seat next to him as I smiled at the three in front of us. The girl who was sketching had shut her book and had turned her attention to us, a shy smile was playing at the corners of her lips and she looked so cute that they should sell dolls of her. The boy was continuing to tap away at his games console but after a few seconds paused it and placed it down on the desk.
I turned to the girl who'd spoken and nodded, "I spoke to him when I first arrived. He seems really nice."
"Yes, he's really helpful," She answered and I briefly thought back to Castiel's comment earlier when we'd been in the hallway. "I'm Iris, it's really great when we have new people. Last time it was Armin and Alexy, now I can't imagine what it'd be like without them both."
"Hi, I'm Violette," The purple haired girl greeted quietly, looking down at the sketchbook on the table in a timid gesture. I sent her a cheerful smile to try and get her to relax slightly, I knew how it felt to be shy in front of new people and I was surprised that I was holding up so well. I guess it was because everyone was so lovely.
"And I'm Armin," The boy added as a small grin blossomed on his lips.
"Armin? We have a lot of names beginning with 'A' here... Alexy, Armin, Aurora. We could start a club," I exclaimed a little too excitedly than was probably necessary. All three of them (with Violette smiling slightly wider in an amused way) laughed at my comment and whether it was because of my inability to not think things through before speaking or something else I didn't know.
"And our club hangout could be the tree house I made on Sims," Armin said after his laughter had quietened and Alexy rolled his eyes at his brother's (they looked like twins?) comment.
"Uh, if we're having anything Sims related then I get to choose our club's theme tune," Alexy answered and I grinned while simultaneously nodding my head in agreement. I could work with both of those things; as long as Alexy wasn't a huge Justin Bieber fan then it was all cool with me.
"I can provide food!" I raised one hand in the air in a voluntary gesture.
"Food? Will chips be some of that food?" Armin asked and I laughed. I felt really comfortable around Armin and Alexy, which didn't happen often seeing as I did tend to get a spurt of shyness to start with. But I really got the feeling that I'd fit in with them, and I liked that feeling. It was like a warm, safety blanket.
"If that's an official request? Chips are on the menu."
"Oh, I'd really like to be in a club... Maybe I'll ask Melody and Rosalya to form a club with me. You can join too, Violette. We could be the rival club and have competitions," Iris butted in with a smile on her face and I returned it with my own.
"The fight for the spot of number one club? I like it, sounds like this game I play called-"
Then Alexy and Iris said at once; "Armin!" For some odd reason, and this may be a shot in the dark, I got the idea that Armin was a gamer.
We all parted ways once the bell had rung through the calm that had started to fall over the five of us like a warm blanket and pierced it into a state of no repair. We scattered down the hallways to our various lockers and I was left alone again. I wasn't totally dependent on other people but I considered myself like a... dog?- I needed companionship. I liked human interaction. But I was alright; I could be an independent woman!
I headed to my assigned locker and turned in the combination before pulling the door gently open, making sure that it didn't clatter against the locker next to mine. I looked in the small mirror and studied my face in it for a second. A little mascara was smudged but I fixed that, I flattened out the wavy lengths of my long pale brown hair and then turned away from my reflection. I put my bag in the bottom of my locker and after I got out my History textbook spun around to be startled instead into bumping the back of my head against the locker.
A sharp sting echoed down my head and my hand went up to rub the sore spot as I looked at the person who had made me jump. They had a smirk on their lips and they looked to be biting back laughter. I frowned slightly, my hand still touching the tender spot before I turned back round to close my locker like I wished. I hugged my books to my chest before turning back to face Castiel.
"So, aren't you Aurora? The uh, new student?" Okay, so he was mocking me. We hadn't even known each other five seconds. "Hmm... Don't you like the gardening club?"
"Yep, that's me. It's nice to meet you," I responded, thinking it best not to get annoyed at his comment as I plastered on a sweet smile while I internally squirmed at my own stupidity. He tilted up an eyebrow, apparently surprised by my comment. Maybe he expected me to get angry at him, I got the feeling that he often left people with that distinct emotion.
"Maybe I should call you Little Miss Clumsy instead?" He asked as he nodded his head in the direction of my hand that had once again gone to rest at the back of my head.
I was about to reply when another boy appeared at Castiel's side. Castiel looked at him out of the corner of his eye before turning back to me and I took a second to look at the boy for myself. Victorian clothes? I liked it. He had a small smile tilting up the corners of his lips and it made me think that he was trying to stop it from fully forming.
"Huh, now we've got our own resident Mister Forgetful. If you two had children they wouldn't last a second in the real world."
"I'm Lysander," The boy said to me as he completely ignored Castiel. Clearly he was used to his comments. I directed a smile at Lysander and let my hand drop from the back of my head once more to hold it out for him to shake. He looked at my hand for a second before shaking it. I liked the sound of his voice, it was calm and soothing and I think that if a piano could speak then it'd sound kind of like Lysander. It was a good thing that I liked the piano.
"Aurora."
"I guessed as much. You've been trending in the hallways," Lysander responded and I inwardly cringed. That was one of the things I hated: being made a topic of conversation.
"What, 'hash tag new-girl-really-likes-flowers'?" Castiel asked somewhat sharply and I looked over at him with a frown etched between my eyebrows before I shook my head and replaced it with a grin. Lysander gave Castiel an odd look as his gaze darted from Castiel to me and then back again.
"I can deal with that, at least the good old people in the social network world of Hallway speak the truth," I shrugged up my shoulders, a bright 100 watt smile on my face. Lysander turned to rise up his eyebrows while a small smile played around on his lips and while Lysander looked a mixed between confused and amused, Castiel was trying to fight back a smile.
"Do I want to know what's going on here?" Lysander questioned and it was Castiel's turn to shrug his shoulders, but his shrug was accompanied by a grunt while any smile that was forming had died as quickly as it'd started to form. "Hm."
Castiel had turned away from looking at me and had faced his body towards Lysander now so I took the moment to resume hugging my book against my sweater clad chest while I let my hair tumble out from the flower clip that had tucked it safely back from my face. My smile had slowly morphed into a small, barely there one now. I guessed that the bell would be going soon and I should probably getting to class, I hated being late. It irked me when others were late, and I hated myself if I ever arrived later than the specified time.
"Hey, uh... Guys, I don't want to be rude but... Where's Mrs Courts' History classroom?" I scuffed the toe of my brogues against the floor and bit down on my lower lip as I looked down at my shoes.
Both of them had been in conversation, about what I don't know because they'd lowered their voices to just above a whisper, but when I spoke both their head's snapped up to face me. After a slight pause Lysander said: "I have History next with her. I can show you?"
The grin returned to my lips, "Thanks. I was afraid I'd be wandering around the hallways all period like a little lost sheep."
"A lost sheep? It's good I'm here then," Lysander said after he let out a soft chuckle at my comment. I nodded in agreement at his comment, not quite fancying being lost in the hallways. "I don't think that I'd be very good at shepherding."
"Yeah, you'd lose all the sheep," Castiel butted in with a roll of his eyes. Just at that moment the bell cut through the air and Castiel glanced up at where it was coming from, "That's my signal to leave. Don't miss me too much, Lysander..." He paused for a second, shoving his hands in his pockets before adding. "Tulip."
I really wouldn't be living this flower thing down; I think that Castiel thrived due to other people's discomfort.
"Let's get to class."
