This is going to be awesome. I haven't had the room to myself for the whole semester. Shirley is nice and all, but she….well, you know she really gets on my nerves sometimes, Kallen thought to herself as she wriggled out of her Ashford Academy blazer, throwing it on the plush carpeted floor.
She had a bad habit of trying to think the best of people without accepting that she actually really didn't like them at all and her thoughts on Shirely were no exception. She wanted to like Shirely…she really did, but there was something, no multiple things about her that drove Kallen nuts.
Everyone loved Shirely; she was goofy and cute and innocent and everything that the others had lost about themselves along their maturing paths. Who could hate her? She was adorable. And that's exactly what pisses me off about her. She's like a girlier version of Suzaku; all cute and stuff and totally unaware when her actions affect others.
She gave an exasperated sigh as she pulled the thick, darkly embroidered curtains closed. She had taken all of her clothes off except for her pastel pink bra and underwear and she didn't want any pervert little boy peeking at her through the window.
Falling back on her black comfortered, twin size bed she closed her eyes and did her best to clear her mind of everything, especially people. I'm not going to think about anyone….not Shirley, not Suzaku….definitely not Lelouch….ahh Lelouch…
He was the main reason she disliked Shirley so much. Could he not see that Kallen had loved him from the second she met him? Was her fiery, self-defensive demeanor really too thick for him to see through to the lonely, yearning little girl that she was?Staring up at the ceiling and tracing little designs on her cleavage, she thought of what she would do if Lelouch were ever to notice her for anything more than an employee and a fake classmate. Would she even be able to let her guard down enough to let him in?
This is not helping me relax. I need to try a different approach.
She slid her hand down her breasts and stomach and was almost where she wanted to be when…
Rap rap rap.
Three sharp knocks hit the oak door like knives, jerking Kallen out of her angsty introspection and attempt at relaxation. Jumping off of the bed in an adrenaline-fueled jolt, she grabbed her fluffy robe off the back of the bathroom door and flung it around herself, tying the waist band as quickly as possible.
"Ju…just a second." she said, stealing a quick look in the mirror to make sure her hair looked ok just in case it was Lelouch.
"Can I help you?" she asked, swinging the door open while smiling cordially.
Her heart sunk as she recognized the person at the door. He was not Lelouch, nor any of her friends. He was, in fact, the last person she had been expecting to see today. The pizza delivery boy.
Dumbfounded, she asked why he was there and explained that she hadn't ordered anything for delivery.
The boy smiled and held up a large box of cheese pizza. Laughing politely he said "I'm not sure if it was you, Kallen, but someone from 240 ordered this."
How does he know my name? Does he really come to the school that often? Well, now that I think about it, he does deliver pizza to us quite a lot…nearly every day, in fact. But he only delivers it to Lelouch's room for CC…..
A cool voice spoke from behind, causing her to jump a little. "Thank you. Here is your money."
Oh it damn well better not be who I think it is. She whipped around and met an unearthly combination of green and pure white.
"WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH THE OTHERS ON THE CAMPING TRIP!" The pizza boy stepped back a little, surprised at Kallen's outburst at the green haired girl.
"I don't like camping." CC answered cooly.
Kallen could feel her face beginning to match her hair. "I don't care if you don't like camping," she said through gritted teeth, "Why are you here? This isn't even your room." She was trying to counteract her rising anger by being civil but it wasn't working too well.
CC was unfazed by the other girls temper.
Of course she doesn't care if I'm mad. She never shows any emotion. EVER.
"Lelouch won't let me stay in his room while he's gone so he told me to stay with you. You don't need to be so upset." she said, her demeanor not changing, "It's only for the weekend."
"I know it's only for the weekend. I was supposed to have this weekend by myself. You can't just barge in here." her eyes remained fixed to CC's in a fiery beam.
"Why?"
This girl has some serious nerve.
Throwing her hands up in the air out of exasperation she said, "Because it's MY ROOM. Are you that thick headed? Jesus."
"You look like you had plans that involved no one else being around. Did you want to have some 'alone time'?" Her voice was cool. Too cool.
"Of course I did you idiot! I never get alone time! What do you think I was gonna do, just sit around? I was gonna do whatever I wanted, wherever, whenever and HOWEVER I wanted to."
Kallen stopped abruptly, realizing how what she had said could easily be misinterpreted. Her face turned an even brighter red but this time out of embarrassment as she attempted to backtrack.
"I..I mean that I had…like homework and stuff….and..I was planning to cook something. I LIKE COOKING BY MYSELF. IT'S MORE FUN DOING THINGS BY YOURSELF!" It was useless.
CC gave an aloof smile. "Ok. I'll wear a blindfold until everyone gets back then."
The pizza boy had a huge blush and was trying desperately not to laugh at the situation. He leaned down to set the still warm pizza on the floor and bowed back at both the girls as he turned to exit.
"You already paid me so I'm gonna leave this here." he said, trying his best to put on a relaxed face.
CC nodded. "Thanks. Make sure to leave a few packets of special sauce, I'll need it for later."
