Chapter 2: Getting Into Clubs
Hey guys this is the second chapter~ The first chapter only took a few hours so I'm hopping that this one will too but it might take longer seeing as I need sleep at night and I have testing in the morning only to get home around 4:00 p.m. ish completely exhosted. So we'll see how this goes~
;3 Chapter Start C:
Candy got hope late last night and Eian has since then not spoken to her seeing as the only things she would talk about would be about her 'date' with Nathaniel. They silently walked into the school and Candy was stopped by the blonde from before. Eian stops behind her and silently listens to their conversation.
"Hey, look who's here~" The girl says. "You're Ken's girlfriend, aren't you?"
"What? No, not at all..." Candy says confusedly.
"Come on now, don't get upset, it's an improvement, don't you think Li and Charlotte? Hahaha~" They start laughing in unison.
"No, I don't think..." Candy responds offendedly.
"Anyway, now that you're enrolled, don't start going after Nathaniel!" She glares at Candy evilly before walking off with her friends. Candy scowls pissedly.
"The fuck is her problem with me? And what was she talkin' about goin' after Nathaniel?" Looks to Eian who looks away from her silently. Ken happily walks up and smiles at them.
"Hi, Candy!~" She glares at him in a deadly fashion.
"You! Stop telling people that nonsense! Especially those three!" She practically screams at him.
"Wh... what? What are you talking about? I just told the truth." He whimpers a bit.
"What truth?! You told them we're going out together!" Candy looks like she's just about to kill him.
"W... well not really, I told them that you were the love of my life. Then they took my pocket money too. Wh... why do you ask me that? You want to go out with me?" The last part almost sounds hopeful and Eian winces at the tone knowing that she'd turn him down flat.
"Are you crazy?! Never! And if you say once more that we're going out together, to anyone..." Her voice is harsh and tears start streaking down Ken's cheeks.
"... I'll... I'll wait for you, in case you change your mind..." His voice crack and Eian tenses up pushing past Candy and hugs Ken to his chest tightly letting Ken sob into his chest.
"Candy, I think you've said enough." He growls and Candy steps back her eyes wide.
"Eian, I-I..." Her voice cracks a bit and Eian glares at her.
"Don't you have a student body president to get to." His tone lowers and Candy's eyes tear up before she runs off to the student council room. She wipes her eyes and steps in calming down a bit more as soon as she sees Nathaniel and he smiles at her.
"Hi, so what's new? Is everything working out for you?" He asks sweetly and she relaxes a bit more.
"Yeah, everything's fine, except for the fact that I just ran into those three pests who still have a grudge against me, and aren't afraid to let me know." She pouts.
"Pests, who are you talking about?" He tilts his head a bit in questioning.
"The're always together, and Amber, the blonde girl mentioned you. In any case they are real idiots the three of them." Candy huffs angrily and Nathaniel bites his lit a bit.
"Amber's my sister you know... I know she can be difficult at times, especially when she's with her friends, but still..." Nathaniel trails off. Candy blinks and stares before turning and walking back into the hallway.
"Well I guess that clears up why she told me not to go after him..." Candy muttered to herself and looks around. Ken is still crying into Eian's shirt pitifully.
"I hope they won't be back to bother me again." Ken hiccups making Candy scowl and walk away. She sees the red head again and walks up to him.
"Hi." She tries making conversation badly.
"Candy, what are you doing here?" He asks boredly.
"I'm trying to avoid three stupid girls." She says exhostedly.
"There are a lot of stupid girls around here." He states.
"Well they're always together. Two brunets and a blonde, Amber I think. I just got here and already they're hassling me." She complains and he smirks.
"Ah ha, you're talking about Nathaniel's sister and her friends? If there were an award for being stuck up pains, they would win it." He laughs almost relaxedly.
"I'll find a way to get them back some day." Candy grumbles lightly.
"I'd be interested to see that." He states before Candy walks away. After a few seconds of walking she's stopped by the school principal.
"Miss Candy, just a minute please. I would like you to take part in some of the school activities. A club would be a great place to start. The basketball club and the gardening club both could use some help at the moment. I'll let you decide, where would you like to lend a hand? I've already spoken to your brother and he said he would prefer looking at bother before deciding~ He even said that he'd help with both but not join till he'd seen them first~ What a sweet boy~" She beams at Candy who twitches a bit at the sound of her brother being praised.
"I think I would prefer helping out the basketball club." Candy says hesitantly.
"Perfect, in that case, go over there and see what you can do~" She says cheerfully.
"But I don't know where it is, and..." The principal happily cuts her off.
"Well then, ask one of your fellow students, I'm sure you will find some one to show you.~" She walks off and Candy sighs deciding to walk into the court yard in hopes of finding it. She sees Amber and her group there her muscles tensing up getting ready to be pushed around by them only to be completely ignored. After that she decides it's better to just go see if Nathaniel knows were it is.
"Candy?"
"Ah, Nathaniel," She smiles cheerfully at him and he smiles back.
"Do you need something?" He asks kindly.
"Do you know anyone in the basketball club?" She smiles at him sweetly. Nathaniel bites his lip lightly.
"Well, I have to admit that I don't spend that much time at the clubs, I don't know much about them, sorry..." He smiles at her lightly and she pouts a bit childishly.
"Are you sure you can't think of anyone?" She pleads lightly.
"Hmm... Well I think Castiel belongs to the basketball club. But knowing him, I doubt he participates very much." He shrugs lightly and Candy smiles nodding before walking out of the student council room. Once into the hallway she finds Iris who smiles at her.
"Hey Candy, what are you up to?" Iris asks sweetly.
"Iris, just the person I wanted to see, can you show me were the basketball club is?" Candy almost pleads.
"Oh, go to the school yard, If you see Nathaniel, ask him to show you, it's just next to it. I'm sorry but I have to go to the music club." Iris smiles kindly.
"There's a music club? I would have preferred that..." Candy pouts.
"I'm sorry, I think it's full. We'll see each other later, ok?" Iris walks off waving and Candy waves back before walking into the court yard. Ken is standing there alone and Candy walks up to him.
"Ken, are you supposed to help out in a club too?" She asks.
"Yes! The principal ask me to~ I'm sure you chose the gardening club, just like me, right?" He asks perkily.
"Um, well I guess you guessed wrong." She states in a deadpan. Ken's shoulders sag and he pouts.
"Aw... If I had only known. Do you think I could change?" He looks at Candy hopefully.
"No! Gardening suits you!" She stares down at him frantic to not be stuck with him.
"Well, you know me, I love plants. But it's a shame. I would have loved to be in the same club as you." He seems to have perked up a bit again. and Candy walks away with a sigh. She spots Castiel walking into the court yard and walks up to him.
"Castiel, I have to go to Basketball club, do you know were it is?" She asks desperately.
"Maybe." He simply responds.
"Or maybe not?" She asks making him smirk.
"Ah, yeah I know. So what? What do I get out of showing you were it is?" His tone is a bit lighter than before.
"The pleasure of my company?" She says.
"Ah, is that all?" He asks jokingly. "And why are you looking for that club exactly?" He asks curiously.
"I'm not sure but I'm supposed to help out a club." She shrugs.
"Ah, I see. the principal's famous trick to get new students to settle in." He chuckles.
"Ok, so can you show me were it is or not?" She asks.
"Listen, come back later, I've got some things to do right now, but I'll show you afterwards." He walks away and Candy sighs walking back into the school catching a glimpse of Eian walking into their classroom. Her chest hurts a bit from him not being there behind her but she shakes her head and walks back outside to Castiel. "I almost didn't wait." He jokes with her. "Follow me, you'll see it's just right next to the gymnasium. You could have found it on your own if you'd tried~" He chuckles and Candy rolls her eyes a smile playing at her lips as she follows him.
"There you go. Across the school yard, on the left, that's the gardening club. You know what you're supposed to do at least?" Castiel asks her and she bites her lip.
"Um... No." She replies meekly.
"Man, they're not much help at the school office, are they? They ask you to come and help out and they don't even tell you what to do..." He sighs.
"Hmm..." Candy responds as she looks around.
"Oh I know," He suddenly says making her look back at her. "the guys are always complaining that half of the basketballs are missing. You could look for them, it shouldn't be to hard. There are five missing I think." Castiel smirks at her as she nods.
"Ok, I'll do that then." She states before walking back out to the courtyard and looking around. She finds one in the bushes next to the farthest wall in the corner, one behind one of the benches, and one stuck up in the branches of the tree. She had to climb for the last one and scrapped her hand in the process. Candy then walks into the school and looks around in there finding Nathaniel standing there. "Nathaniel, have you seen any basketballs around here?" She asks hopefully.
"No, why? You have to find the clubs basketballs, right?" He confusedly asks.
"Yes, I'm looking for them... It's something to do at least." Candy sighs and Nathaniel smiles nodding.
"Yes, plus it shouldn't take to long, good luck~" He walks away and Candy spots one of the basketballs sitting at the edge of some lockers to her right before she walks into her classroom and looks around. She finds the last one under neither some desks and then goes back into the hallway sighing at finding no trace of Eian in the room. Candy walks back into the court yard and Ken runs up to her.
"I know were the basketball club is!" He happily shouts and Candy sighs tiredly.
"That's alright, I know were it is." She states.
"Rats, I'm to late then, sorry..." Ken pouts and Candy walks back to Castiel in the Gym.
"So did you find those basketballs?" He asks boredly.
"Yeah, I found five." Candy says.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go put them away and then you're done."
"Oh, okay I'm off." Goes to put them away wiping her brow and smiling when she puts the last one down. "Well, that's done finally!" She exclaims before walking into the court yard. Amber and her girls are there.
"Get out of the way, we're coming through." Amber states obnoxiously and Candy glares at them.
"You get out of the way "princess", I'm not moving." Candy growls angrily.
"What? I must be dreaming, who do you think you are? Go back to playing stooge for the school clubs!" Amber pushes me hard so that I almost fall leaving me to glare after her pissedly before walking into the school and running into Nathaniel.
"Ah I'm glad you're here, I was headed for the school yard. Can you do me a favor?" He asks kindly.
"Yes, of course." Candy smiles up at him happily.
"Thank you very much, I have an absentee note that Castiel needs to sign, and frankly the less of him I see ,the you get him to sign it and bring it back to me please?" He's smiling charmingly so how can she say no.
"Castiel?... He's not easy to get along with, but I'll try my best..." Candy responds uncertainly and Nathaniel chuckles lightly.
"You don't know how right you are. It's nice of you to do this more me, thanks." He's about to walk away when Candy stops him.
"But wait a minute, why does he have to sign the absentee note? Aren't his parents supposed to do that?" She asks curiously.
"Yes, normally, but Castiel is legally independent. Because his parents travel a lot for their work , he has to take care of himself, even for administration stuff." He says with a regular tone.
"Oh, I see. I didn't know." She bites her lip lightly before walking out into the court yard and finding Ken. "Ken, what are you doing right now?"
"Nothing much, do you need help?" He smiles brightly.
"No, not from you anyways." Candy's voice is a deadpan and Ken swallows pretending to shrug off the insult pitifully.
"If you need me, let me know." He tries again.
"Yeah, yeah." She brushes him off and walks over to Castiel. "So you cut class again? I have a note for you to sign." She chuckles.
"Ah ha, I've got nothing to say about that. And you can take that back to Nat, I don't plan on signing it." He laughs a bit and walks off. Candy sighs and walks back to Nathaniel in the school.
"Have you seen him? Is it ok for the note?" Nathaniel asks hopefully.
"Yes and no, he doesn't want to sign your note." She sighs and Nathaniel looks at her with an 'I pitty you' look.
"He's as stubborn as a mule, you have to insist a bit more and he'll sign."
"Yeeeeeah... But that guy gets on my nerves." Candy pouts.
"Trust me, I understand... If you could only try again?" She sighs and gives in walking over to Castiel who just walked in.
"Do you need anything else?" Castiel asks deadpandly.
"Yes, the absentee note..." Candy replies meekly.
"What now?" He growls balling his fist scarily.
"He's insisting you know..." She tries.
"And I'm refusing! Anyway, if he's a real man, he'll come and ask me himself instead of sending a little girl like you!" He exclaims and walks off. Candy glares after him.
"That bastard just fucking called me a 'little' girl!" She peevedly exclaims and walks back to Nathaniel.
"So?" Nathaniel asks as soon as Candy enters the student council room.
"'Come and me yourself if you're a man!'" She fakely imitates Castiel's voice.
"Huh?... Ah! That's what he told you! Well, you can tell him a man accepts his responsibilities. That means sighing it." He huffs.
"Understood, I'll try again..." She sighs and goes to find Castiel again.
"Did you give him my message?" Castiel asks gruffly.
"Yes and um..." She trails off.
"What now?! Good grief , you're persistent!" He shouts angrily.
"Eh... I know, but Nathaniel keeps pushing me too..." She whines.
"I understand, but I'm as stubborn as he is. I'm not signing anything. And I'm sure he's just doing this so that I might get expelled from school." He states seeming to have calmed down a bit.
"Ok listen, I'm tired of all this, sign it and if you're not happy, take it up with him." Candy sighs pissedly.
"You're as much of a pain as he is." He growls and sighs it peevedly. "Here's your note, signed, happy? Now get out of my sigh." He walks off and Candy sighs taking the note to Nathaniel.
"Did you get it this time?" He asks concernedly.
"Yes, I finally got him to sign it. Here's your note." He hands it to him and he smiles in relief.
"Really? I'm impressed! You really helped me out there. Thank you very much~"
"No problem!~" Candy giggles a bit. She walks out of the room and runs into Eian who frowns and looks at her. She stands up straighter and steps forward. "Where the hell do you think you were?!" She shouts upsetly and Eian glares down at her.
"I was doing things 'ON MY OWN' for once." He growls at her as he puts emphases in his wording. Candy steps back and puts a hand to her mouth.
"You WHAT?! How stupid can you possibly be?!" She screams at him.
"Not as fucking 'stupid' as you think I am!" He shouted back and then they glare at each other quietly for a few minutes before hearing something down the hallway.
"Accept your responsibilities you..." Nathaniel's voice.
"Yeah I'll accept my responsibilities and show you what you get when you piss me off, you just watch!..." Castiel's voice. Eian and Candy run towards the sound completely forgetting their own argument. Castiel has Nathaniel by the collar of his shirt and has him slammed up against some lockers. Candy freezes up sacredly as she looks at them in fear.
"Wh-what should I-I do?" She asks shakily. Castiel raises his fist just about to punch Nathaniel and Eian pushes them apart quickly.
"Wha...?" Castiel stumbles back a bit but catches his balance and goes to step forward again but Eian has a hand on either of their chests to keep them apart.
"Eian?! What are you doing? Getting in between people that are both ready to punch each other is never a good idea you idiot!" She shouts and steps forward. Nathaniel looks over at her and pales a bit.
"C-Candy? what are you doing here?" He asks as he steps towards her.
"I was just about to go home when I heard you two fighting and came to see what was going on..." She fidgets with her hands and Nathaniel sighs combing his hair back a bit with his fingers.
"I'm sorry you had to see that... How about I walk you home to say sorry?" She smiles a bit and nods. Castiel looks down at Eian who's retracted his hands back to his jacket pockets and is about to walk away.
"Come with me." Castiel suddenly says and takes Eian by the arm dragging him to the school's roof pulling out there and then releasing his arm taking a few more steps and then taking a deep breath. Eian uneasily moves from one foot to the other and looks around only to pause at the sight of the view.
"Wow..." he mumbled and steps forward to see it clearer. A slight wind picks up and his hair starts dancing lightly in it. Castiel looks over at him just in time to see some of his hair slide out of the way to reveal amazing silver looking eyes and a few piercings on his eyebrow. His breath catches in his throat as he stares even after Eian's hair settles back down so that you can't see most of his face again.
"Why?..." Castiel asks quietly and Eian looks over at him.
"Why what?" He asks confusedly.
"Why do you hide like this so much?" Castiel steps closer to him and looks down at him with softened eyes.
