"Don't leave me now
Stay another day
With me
.
When you're sad, and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
.
I'll send you black roses
Far away we wait for each other
I'm still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair….."
...
I woke up, shielding my eyes from the brightness that leaking through the curtains and into the room by hiding under my pillow, reaching out blindly for the source of the that stupid noise. Grabbing it in my fist I felt the smooth cold metal beneath my warm, delicate fingers. Growling as the clock, I angrily launched it at the far side of the room, smiling when I heard a satisfying BANG. I raised the pillow slightly, smiling at the mess of clockwork and metal parts at the other side of the room.
Until I saw Road climb down from the top bunk, looking at the clock with a grimace on her face before it was replaced with a frown, her dark hair ruffled from sleep, her baggy pajamas almost falling off her hips "It's my job to kill the alarm clock in a morning" she moaned, groggily stretching making it look like her pajama bottoms where going to fall off even more.
I lifted my head and threw the pillow behind me, my own hair a mess as I sat up and stretched, my blue silk pajamas falling loosely around my shoulders. "Maybe we should take turns?" I asked as I got out of bed, searching through my bags for something clean to wear.
"That's a good idea Ally," she grinned evilly, heading to the bathroom, towel slung over one shoulder.
I looked to the closed bathroom door and sighed, pulling on my clothes, I was in the process of searching for my other boot, when Road reappeared, dripping wet and shouting down the phone, her towel wrapped around her thin frame as Road began to dress, her phone squished between her ear and neck as she talked.
"Listen Devit, I don't care what you and Jasdero did, I'm not helping."
I raised an eyebrow as Road shut her phone, what on earth did Jasdevi do now? Turning my head back to Road I saw that she was already fully clothed. She had on a short sleeved white button up shirt with a tight black vest under it, a black skirt with white frills on the bottom, magenta socks that came up to her thighs, with black and purple boots and a red tie around her neck.
"So what did Jasdevi do now?" I questioned and saw Timcampy sitting on my bed, biting the boot I was looking for.
"Huh? Oh I don't know, Devit just asked if I could help bail them out.", Road laughed lacing her boots. "You ready to go for breakfast, I always go down early, you get first pick that way."
I nodded grabbing my boot and followed Road outside, locking the room behind me. I followed her down the stairs feeling a little more than dependent as I tried my best to memorize the path down to the cafe` but gave up as I hit the 2nd floor. My stomach began to growl at me angrily, demanding food and finally, after what seemed like forever, Road stopped in front of a set of double doors and grinned back at me, "Welcome to the school Cafe`" she said, throwing the doors wide and spreading her arms out as she entered.
I laughed again and followed behind Road to grab some food. 'wow' The room was extremely large, housing about 14 circular tables, each one crafted of individually carved oak, the tops smooth and polished, refined and sleek. Windows intricately framed with steel lace spread shadows of angels with outstretched wings on the far end wall. Above each table hung giant crystal chandeliers, sparkling in the morning light as they twinkled.
I broke out of my daze when an almighty thunk erupted around the room, echoing in the hollow silence. Road paused in the midst of passing me a plastic plate and turned to the door, just like all the other students that had been sitting quietly did, puzzled at the peculiar noise before the source burst through the door, slamming them into the far walls and running into the hall.
Road raised an eyebrow at the taller figure "What the hell are you doing Hearst?"
The boy looked over to me and Road, I could see him murmur a thank God, clasping his hands together tightly in a silent prayer before jumping onto the tables and running past protesting kids as they scrambled to save their breakfasts from the oncoming feet. Sprinting the whole length of the table the teen jumped down and landed behind Road, crouching behind her shoulders, peeking over them ever so slightly as he glanced worriedly back towards the doorway.
I looked at the taller boy; currently crouching at the knee to become on average height with Road, dark hair tuffled ever so slightly as her eyes scanned the doorway for any signs of life before rolling her eyes at the boy hiding behind her back and she moaned loudly, "What did you do this time?"
I awkwardly stared at the two wondering what to say, apparently Road knew this person that was for sure, but why was he hiding behind her, what'd he do? "Why do you always assume I did something wrong?" the young boy asked.
"Because every time I see you Kanda is trying to kill you because you pissed him off"
"Kanda's always pissed off." he mumbled, I couldn't help but to laugh, I stifled a giggle behind my hand.
"You do have a point there."
"THERE YOU ARE!"
the three of us turned to see a dark haired male walking towards us well more like towards the younger boy, umm, Hearts or maybe it was Hearst, anyway his dark locks flowed like silk down his back as he stalked forward, an large frown spread across his face
The boy flinched and scrambled on his knees, hiding behind both of us and peeking out between us, cringing as the boy stalked forward. I looked at the male quizzically, wondering what this boy was so afraid of.
"Move out of the way short stack!" he growled angrily.
I suddenly felt anger rise inside me, what right did he have calling me short stack? My height was just fine. I glared at him again staying my ground "My name is Allen Walker, you long haired, girly boy!"
"What did you call me, Short stack?"
"It's Allen! Al-len are you too stupid to get it right?" I yelled in his face.
The black haired man suddenly grabbed me around the collar, pulling me forward and raising his fist. I could tell he was going to punch me so I just closed my eyes, awaiting the blow.
But it never came. Instead the hand that had held my shirt let go suddenly and I felt myself falling backwards. Thankfully Road was able to catch me and lifted me up. I blinked once then twice, there in front of me stood a tall redhead, with a eye patch over his right eye, holding onto the others fist.
"Hey Kanda, it's not very nice to hit the new kid you know!" the redhead said, letting go of the others fist. "Besides what he said is true you know, you do look like a girl with that long hair of yours."
My eye twitched, great another person thought I was a guy. The redhead looked at me smiling, his single emerald green eye staring at me, as the other man, Kanda I think it was, stalked out of the cafe`.
"Sorry about Kanda, he can me a jerk sometimes, but he's actually a nice guy when you get to know him. What's your name?"
I straightened myself, and looked at him with a bored look, but he just kept smiling. "Allen, Allen Walker."
"Well I'm Lavi, It's nice to meet you Allen."
I continued to stare at him, as he just kept smiling, what was he smiling about anyway? "Yeah, it's nice to meet you to I guess..." this was starting to get awkward.
The smile finally left his face as the sight of recondition took it's place. "Oh that reminds me, I gotta go, it was nice meeting you dude, bye!" and with that he ran off.
I could hear Road laughing behind me, I turned to look at her, a smile extending to a broad all knowing grin, putting her hands on her hips. "Well that was entertaining."
I rolled my eyes and picked up a new plate, so I could grab something to eat, otherwise I think my Stomach might try to eat me. I began stacking several things upon my plate. 16 pancakes smothered in syrup, 8 muffins, 12 waffles, 4 apples, 5 bowls of cereal, 18 glasses of orange juice, and a couple puff pastries.
As I ate, my vision suddenly disappeared behind someone's hand, it wasn't hard to guess. "Devit," I asked simultaneously with Road, her eyes must have been covered too.
"Correct," he laughed removing his hands and giving the two of us a quick squeeze from behind before sitting down.
"What are you doing here, where's Jasdero" I asked after finishing the rest of my pancakes.
"Oh, he's coming see?" Just as he said that another Jasdero's long blonde hair came into view.
"Hello Allen Hee!"
"So Devit, Jasdero. What are you guys doing here?" I questioned, drinking another glass of Orange juice
"Oh well, we were just too bored with our school so we decided to come here" Devit sighed picking up an apple and taking a bite out of it.
"Yes! Very bored Hee!" Man Jasdero could be such a weirdo haha, but he really was the sweetest thing.
"You got expelled didn't you?"
"What? No…what makes you think that we got expelled?" Devit's face seemed to gain a slight flush of annoyance from my comment which meant I was right. "Come on Devit, I've known you for almost as long as I've known Road you can't lie to me"
"Argh! Fine! But all we got was a warning that if we didn't behave we were going to get expelled, so we just decided to come here where we can start again… That and it's also the only school that accepted us because dad is the principal."
"A warning? What did you guys do?"
"Well…we kind of made the artroomandscienceroomexplode ." he said the last part very soft and quickly, that I couldn't understand.
"What did you say?"
"Devit made the science and art room go boom" the blonde said extending his arms.
"You did what! …How did you made the art room explode?"
"I don't know…all I know is that the walls of the art room are a permanent puke-green color, and has a nice beautiful skylight, but Jasdero was the one who made the science room explode, I was just there taking a nap and before I knew it I was on the floor hearing the teacher say that we have to get out of the classroom as fast as possible"
"Devit, you know you must never let Jasdero near something that is flammable and/or explosive, you learned that in eighth grade! How could you forget that?"
"Oh Yeah. I forgot about that"-I did a face palm, I was just about to ask him if he had done anything else when Road Interrupted me "So what lessons you got first Ally?" Road asked, glancing up from her pancakes.
"Ummm," Actually I didn't know what I had first, pulling the rumpled piece of paper out of my pocket I unfolded it, straightening it out and flattening it. "Gym".
"Yay, that mean you'll be with me, well unless we get different teacher's" Road beamed, nudging me in the arm. I laughed picking up my plate and throwing it in the trash when a light ringing sound echoed through the cafe`.
"Come on we'd better go before the gym teacher gets her panties in a twist." Road grumbled, grabbing my arm and leading me out of the cafe' and into my first lesson… oh joy.
