A/N: Literally one of the cheesiest chapters I ever wrote, lmao. This fucking chapter gave some fucking writers block, lol. I hate it so much. Sorry for the wait, guys. And thanks for the reviews, follows, and favorites!
Allen sighed and held her head in her hands as she followed Lenalee. "He's just so… so annoying!"
Lenalee gave a small laugh, "Yeah, Kanda certainly does have a way to bring out that in others." She gave a small shrug, "I don't know. Ever since he was little he was always just so…"
"Rude? Irritating? Mean?" Allen suggested, seeming defeated just by talking about the male. "And you've been friends since you were seven?!"
Lenalee nodded, "Yup." She gave a small tug on her backpack's strap. She always carried it one shoulder, so it was always getting loose. "But, it's just his personality. He means well. Plus, think on the bright side - he's given you a nickname! He doesn't just do that to anyone!"
Allen rolled her gray eyes and just looked ahead as she and Lena walked down the somewhat busy hallway of the school. "Pff, yeah, right. 'Beansprout' is such a cute term of endearment," She replied sarcastically. The older teen of the two gave a small hum of amusement. Allen hasn't known Lenalee for long, but she knew that noise meant that the girl had a secret opinion on something. Before Allen could ask, Lenalee spoke: "This is me."
She pointed to the upcoming classroom; last one before the hallway made a turn right. Allen gave a small smile to her, "Yeah, alright… I mean, it's not like I have any classes with him!"
Kanda was in Allen's Home Economics class. She never noticed him, because, according to Road, her partner, Kanda was in the very back, always being quiet, or most times, he'd skip the class all together. He seemed to be partner-less, and she kind of felt bad for him…
Not. Allen thought, mentally chuckling at the thought of Kanda being alone. He deserves every misfortune. She gave a snort, tucking her lips as she tried to not laugh aloud. Road gave her a curious glance, probably wondering what was so funny. The white-haired teen bit her lip, and tied back her shoulder-length hair into a small bun that touched the nape of her neck.
Their teacher, Jerry, was a very, uh, "flamboyant" man with the sweetest attitude; there have been many times when Jerry called her "sugar" or "honey" and she just loved the sound of it. He always wore a sleeveless chef outfit, and surprisingly, he had quite the muscle on him. He never got mad at his students, and he always loved to help someone when they weren't quite getting the recipe right.
"Alright, dearies," He basically sung aloud, clapping his hands together. "We are gonna spice things up a bit! And, I'm not talking about food!" Allen raised a curious eyebrow at the man, wondering what he meant. "I want you to pick someone new to be your partner - just for the next four weeks! We have one student out today, so we should be even!" He took a deep breath, and practically yelled, "Go!"
Road muttered, "Poo… I wanted to be with you, Allen!" But, almost right after she whined that, she went off to partner with another kid. Allen shook her head at her younger friend, and gave a sigh.
Alright. Now who's available? Everyone found a partner quite quickly, and she noticed that only she and… and him were the only two partner-less. He was staring at her, arms folded. He must've felt the same way she felt. Allen took a deep breath through her nose, and slowly began her walk towards him. Kanda was tightening his jaw as she approached.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," He growled in a mutter once she stood by his side.
Allen gave a nod and folded her arms as well, "Yeah, well… I didn't even know you existed in this class, until today. Now that I know, this just became my least favorite period."
Jerry explained to make a simple dish of their choosing; it would end up taking this class period and the next. Whatever extra ingredients they need, they have to buy it themselves. Allen, a gluttonous girl, whose mind mostly thought about food, opened her mouth to give an idea when Kanda beat her to it:
"Soba," He said, voice monotone as always. "No questions."
She mouthed the word 'soba' to herself. What even was that? "Is that an Asian dish?" She asked, anyway, beginning to take out whatever she felt like she needed.
His eyes darted to her. Kanda's jaw tightened, "The fuck did I just say, Old Woman?" Her mouth dropped at the newest of nicknames. Old woman? She felt offended.
She slammed a cutting board on the table and looked at him, anger boiling up in her. "Is that a crack at my hair, Stupid?" Allen hissed, face getting close to his (even though she did have to stand on her toes to reach it).
"If you can't figure it out for yourself, then who's really the stupid one, Beansprout?" He quirked an eyebrow, a smirk on his face.
Allen took in a deep breath through her nose and she turned away. She admitted defeat, and Kanda simply glanced at her. "Hey, uh," She started, voice suddenly shaky, "listen… my arm and eye, you won't tell anybody, right?"
He leaned against the desk, "You act like I care.:
Allen smiled.
Allen was walking with Road as they exited the school. They were chatting about… something. Road was a rambler, always going on about different topics all at once. Even so, Allen found it quite amusing to watch her talk about things she was interested in.
They stopped talking when someone shouted "Road!" distance. The girl turned her head and looked at the source of her name-calling. He was older, but still probably a teen nonetheless, he wore glasses and his hair was slightly shaggy.
"Hey, Allen, come meet Tyki!" Road grabbed her hand and pulled her along. She had talked about Tyki before; saying that he was very handsome and a gentleman. But… to Allen, he looked more like a hermit.
Road gave a laugh, as if reading her mind, "Don't let his appearance fool you. He knows how to clean up!" They approached him; he was smiling at the two.
Tyki looked down at Road, "This is Allen?" He sounded foreign. He certainly had an accent on his tongue. Road nodded. "I'm Tyki Mikk, Road's uncle," He said, amused by the confusion that settled on the English girl's face.
"You're young," Allen said quickly, shocked. "I would've never…"
"My brother is older than me by some years. He is Road's adoptive father," Tyki said, giving Road's hand a small squeeze. "Maybe you could meet him if you came to our small party Saturday."
The white-haired teenager gave a nervous smile. Tyki was certainly… different. "I wish I could, but I am very busy… My guardian and I are painting the house."
Road tugged on Tyki's arm, "I told youuuuuu!" She gave Allen a small look, before glancing over her friend's shoulder. "Lenalee is looking for you. See ya!"
"Pleasure meeting you, girl," Tyki said, slowly, and walked off with Road.
Allen waved at them before turning around and running to meet up with Lena. The Chinese schoolgirl was fiddling with her skirt, pulling it down a bit. She always did that before going home. Her skirt wasn't short, really, but Lenalee had a very protective older brother, who Allen only met once, and he freaked out because he thought Lenalee brought over a boy. He was relieved to know that "Allen" was a girl.
Lenalee caught Allen running over, and gave a kind grin, "There you are!"
"Here I am," Allen replied, laughing, catching her breath once she got close enough. "Sorry for the wait, was talking to Road and her very strange uncle."
"Not at all," The other waved her hand, dismissing the excuse. The two began their walk home, "I hear that you and Kanda are partners in cooking class?"
"How'd you hear that?"
"Kanda's in my math class. Knowing him for years, you learn how to speak 'grunt' and 'tch.'"
Allen smiled, until she heard a familiar 'tch' and she groaned. "Speak of the devil…" She muttered, stopping and turning around. "Do you always have to be around? It feels like I see you everywhere!"
Kanda sneered, "You still end up talking to me, though, don't you?"
That was true. He did make a point. Everytime he came around, Allen felt the need to talk to him, despite the fact that she could ignore him and move on. Lenalee rolled her eyes and placed a hand on her hip, "Oh, come on, Kanda. Be nice."
He rolled his eyes as well, and walked past them, his arm hitting Allen's. "Prick," She muttered, and he stopped.
"You wanna die?" Kanda growled. He was about to say something else, but was cut off when Lenalee slapped him on the back of his head.
"If you don't stop being mean, I'll tell Komui that you hit on me today," She warned. Her threat may have sounded silly to most, but Komui was a threat to guys that anyone would take serious. Kanda stared at her for a bit, and then gave a glance at Allen, before he continued walking.
Allen gave Lenalee a thumbs up,and she replied the same. They started moving, catching up with Kanda, Lenalee on his left, and Allen on his right. They crossed the street. "Hey, Kanda, are you coming over to help paint Saturday?"
He made a noise, which meant yes. Lenalee perked up, "Oh, can I come over and help?"
"Of course!"
Lena looked at Kanda, "You know, he's coming back tomorrow…"
Allen raised an eyebrow, "Who?"
Kanda scrunched his nose and grit his teeth, "That damn fucking rabbit."
