-Page Break-
One minute, Allen is calmly reading, or at least trying to do so, while her friends, Rhode Kamelot, Jasdevi - Jasdero and Devit - and Daisya Barry, tried to get her into the water. The next, she and her afore mentioned friends are being mobbed and/or run over by fan-girls trying to see the shirtless Lavi Bookman surfing.
"AGH!" Allen let out as some one stepped on her left hand. "Ow!"
"We're sitting here, thank you!" Rhode let out. If this were a cartoon, there would've been smoke shooting out of the Kamelot's ears.
"Yeah!" Jasdevi said in unison.
"Your hand doing alright?" Daisya whispered to Allen, whom nodded before fixing the slightly pulled off glove.
"Everything's fine." Allen whispered back, while adding silently, 'Though I hope that cross thing didn't crack. It seems to be made of glass.'
"You five alright?" Tyki asked, walking up. In case you didn't know, Tyki is one of the teachers at the academy, though he's a college teacher, so the five didn't see him much. He's also the older brother of Rhode and the Jasdevi twins.
"Yeah, we're fine, nii-san." Rhode smiled.
"Good. Glad to hear it." Tyki smiled, ruffling Rhode's dark, spikey locks.
"Good to see you, Tyki." Allen smiled.
"You too, Allen." he gave a sly grin back. That was when he was called over by some female students, no doubt that they're fan-girls too. "Guess I'm needed. Later."
With that, Tyki left. Rhode stood up, brushed all the sand off of her legs and bikini, since she fell into the sand face-first and was turned over when some one kicked her. Allen stood up quickly after, then walked over to Rhode.
"Here, let me help you with your back." Allen offered, smiling gently.
"Thanks, Allen-kun!" Rhode giggled, putting an emphasize on the 'kun'.
You see, when Allen first enrolled in Black Order Academy around a year ago, her master and legal guardian at the time, Marian Cross, marked her as male instead of female. Maybe he was suffering from a major hangover, despite how well he held his liquor. Maybe he was drunk and ended up staying awake all night and late in the morning, then was 'forced' to enroll Allen. Whichever it was, it made Allen's life a little bit harder each day. Nothing bad happened, though there were some occasions where Allen would get caught by some guys and almost stripped, but she but her foot down and beat 'em with an iron fist. Almost literally. Sure as heck felt like iron.
All her friends called Allen 'he' or 'kun', to conceal the secret, though most people called her 'freak', 'weirdo', 'fag', and other not-so-nice names, since that's what she led them to leave. Besides, it made explaining his name a whole lot easier than 'my adoptive father named me after his dead dog', or something like that. Or at least, that became Allen's gradual reasoning in her mind. Though this also meant she had to use men's restrooms. That had been an exciting experience that... she'd rather not go through again. Now she just did that kind of thing when no one was in there.
All the people that knew about her gender mix-up were a select few teachers, her master - whom was a deadbeat and left her one to two years ago - and her friend circle. That circle consisted of Daisya, the Jasdevi twins, Rhode, Tyki, Lenalee Lee - an Asian girl who had a very protective older brother (Allen would deny this later, but Lenalee's brother had threatened to kill the white-haired girl before she was forced to reveal that she was a girl, not a boy) - Yuu Kanda - an annoying prick from Japan - and the afore mentioned Lavi Bookman - though he was an annoy prick like Kanda at first.
The select few teachers that knew were Komui Lee - Lenalee's older brother and one of the four vice principals that Allen knew of - Mr. Reever - Komui's main assistant - Mr. Johnny - the science teacher assistant - Bak Chan - another vice principal - Fou - Bak's 'assistant', if you could call her that (more like bodyguard that likes to harass/embarrass/annoy him) - and Hevlaska - the principal.
What were we talking about again? Oh yeah. Allen was helping Rhode dust sand off of her back.
Allen mentally rolled her eyes at all the whispers and taunts sent her way. Most of them were absolute garbage, but there was one that pulled her attention the most.
"Hey fag! Thought you were gay! If so, why are you touching her butt? Probably just try to flirt, and failing horribly! Just stick to being an uke."
Allen had to resist punching whoever said that in the face, though she couldn't help the irk mark on her forehead, or the fact that her now furrowed eyebrows twitched. The silver-eyed teen took in a deep breath, then let it out just as deeply.
After getting the last of the sand off of Rhode's backside, Allen sat back down in the sand with an aggravated sigh. A few moments later, Lavi walked up, drenched in sea water. Of course, Lavi being Lavi, he just had to squeeze the living daylights of Allen. And I can assure you, a wet, unhappy Allen Walker, is not an Allen Walker you wanna know.
"L-Lavi..." she let out. "Can you let go of me?"
"But I've been neglecting my poor Allen-kun!" Lavi whined, rubbing his cheek on Allen's snow white, and surprisingly soft, hair.
"You're getting me all wet Lavi..." Allen said in a dangerous tone.
"I know~!" he cheered in an upbeat tone.
Allen could suddenly feel all the fangirl glares, which almost sent a chill down her spine. Almost. Hey! Living with Cross, Allen literally went through hell and back. It took a little more than a few measly glares from a bunch of insecure girls - let's face it, they only do stuff like that 'cause they're insecure - to make her cave in. Now one of Kanda's 'demon-glares', as they were known as in their friend circle, could make Allen feel a little freaked out. (Okay, really freaked out, but she would never show, nor admit it. She would also deny it.)
"What does he think he's doing, hugging up on Lavi like that?"
"He's so idiotic and stupid. As if he could get Lavi to fall for him."
"Yeah. Lavi's not gay."
'Couldn't get Lavi to fall for me? He fell for me in more ways than one, and I didn't want him to.' Allen thought bitterly.
"Wish they would shut up." Rhode muttered.
"You and me both." Daisya sighed.
"Hey, Daisya, Rhode, Jasdevi!" Lenalee called. "Can you come over here for a minute?"
"Sure thing!" Rhode shouted back, then walked over to the older girl, pulled Jasdevi along with her while Daisya walked beside her.
"What did you want?" Daisya asked.
"I have a little game we can play! It was Lavi's idea." she giggled. "How about we find out what Allen-chan is afraid of? Whoever wins gets to have these pictures." Lenalee showed pictures of Allen as a preteen, probably when she was traveling with Cross Marian.
"Where'd you get those?!" Rhode exclaimed. "They're so kawaii!"
"Allen gave them to me. I don't think she wants them getting out, but it's the only way you'll play." Lenalee said.
"I'm in!" Daisya exclaimed.
"Me too!" Rhode said.
"Might as well." Debitto sighed.
"What's this about finding Allen's fear?" Suman asked, walking up. Suman was a second year college student. He also knew about Allen's... gender predicament.
"It's a game Lavi thought up." Rhode explained.
"Sounds like fun." Kanda muttered from his nearby spot on the sand. "We get to scare the moyashi."
"I want to join in too!" Miranda said, running up with Marie walking not far behind.
"Then let the game's begin!" Lenalee giggled.
