EDIT: 31/10/10 - Went back over it to fix the spelling mistakes.
This chappie runs parallel to the first one - basically it's in Dell's POV. Enjoy!
Chapter 1-B
The bell rang, indicating the end of school. The white-haired teen packed up extra slowly, not wanting to get caught in the mad hustling and bustling of the rest of the school that were all too eager to get home to their carefree lives where they played video-games, read manga and sat in front of their computer all day.
His red-eyes observed lazily as the brown-haired teacher called up a group of girls to help her with something. In fact this group even had their own little nickname, the "Mi group" they were called because their names all had the syllable "mi" in it: Miku, Miki and Gumi.
'Ugh, I hate her, that Gumi Kamui.' She reminded him of his sister, Haku, the way they were both infuriatingly timid and such a push-over.
He waited a little longer until the remaining pupils cleared the building before starting to get up and head home. Home... Where Haku was most likely huddled in the corner of her room all depressed with a terrible hangover from drinking late last night. He'd often reprimanded her of her addiction yet he couldn't blame her when her career as a singer was going downhi-oof! His face met cardboard as he bumped into someone carrying a huge box.
""Ah, so-" Dell began to apologise but was cut-off almost immediately.
"I-I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" The person squeaked and stepped aside to let him past.
He sighed inwardly, 'She's always so scared, and honestly, annoying.' He glared his annoyance at her as he walked past. 'Come on, I'm at fault too! Don't apologise so much! Do I scare you THAT much? Huh? He sighed once again to emphasise his irritancy before briskly walking away in desperate need to smoke away his aggravation.
Grey puffs mingled into his own misty breath cloud as he exhaled out from a deep long smoke from his cigarette. He leant against the wall of the side of the school building, looking across the tennis courts uninterestedly as the tennis club started to gather.
From where he was standing, he could also see in through the windows of the library. She's looking over there again... Probably has someone she likes in that club. As if she could actually confess to them, the way she is now.
"Hey Kaito! Can you go get Len? I think he went to the library." The tennis coach called out.
"Ah sure. Got it."
'Hmmm, she's also in the library,' he thought, intrigued by this new situation 'I wonder how she copes with that idiotic 'Mr. Popular'.' Promptly inhaling the last of his cigarette before stamping it out on the ground, he took a slightly longer alternate route to library, cautious not to be seen.
It appeared that the guy that was sent up to fetch the blond idiot was taking his sweet time, as he only appeared after Dell had stealthily hid behind one of the bookshelves in the library - luckily for him, that girl hadn't closed the other entrance to the library, allowing him to enter unnoticed.
Dell peered though the gap of the books just when the blue-haired guy called from the corridor, "Leeeennnn!"
"Kaito? What are you doing here?" Len asked confusedly.
"There's a meeting today, remember?" He reminded.
"I totally forgot!" The blond teen gasped, hastily saying bye to his apple-haired classmate. "Well, then I'll see ya later!"
She replied cheerily, "Okay!"
'Where did she get that loud voice?'
Once the two tennis club members were out of sight, she grinned to herself and made her way to the window.
' ... Eh? You're kidding. The one Gumi likes is Len? Pft! Are you serious?' He thought to himself, figuring that the silly girl would've had better tastes than that kid.
He exited by the same door the other two left through; it seemed she was too pre-occupied staring out the window to notice.
Catching up to them without a problem (he wondered how they were on the tennis team when they were so darn slow), he managed to cut into the beginning of their conversation.
"Hey! What kind of book did you get?"
"Hmmm..." He paused in contemplated for a short while. It was almost as if he was reluctant to say and Dell could see why when he heard the following words, "Some kinda... love story?"
He had to cover his mouth with his hand to stifle his laughter whereas Kaito was not so subtle and laughed openly, "Woah! Unexpected!"
Len pouted, ('like the little girl he is' Dell inwardly added.) "What's with that reaction? How about YOU read this book?" he said as he shoved the book into the other's face.
The taller guy threw his hands up in surrender, trying to hold back from laughing as best as he could to ask, "Do you even read books?"
"Truthfully I'm not really interested. I don't even like reading. I thought I would find Neru, but it turned out that that girl was on duty. She said she really loved it and recommended it to me so I had to take it!"
"I can see that..." Kaito said looking down at the book in his hand then continued to laugh hysterically again. "Len-chan likes to read girly books~!" He sang in a loud sing-song voice, probably loud enough for the whole school to hear – 'too bad no-one was here to witness it though'.
"Shut up! And stop laughing!" The book was thrown in attempt to do just that and it hit the blue-haired male square in the head as he was prancing about singing.
"KAITO! LEN! HURRY UP OR I'LL MAKE YOU DO 50 LAPS AROUND THE COURTS!" With that, the two stopped messing about, and made a dash for it.
Dell got up from his spot around the corner where he'd been watching the whole spectacle and eyed up the book on the floor. 'Augh, so troublesome. I'll take it... for now.'
Tossing and turning, he tried to sleep but his mind kept drifting back to it. 'What should he do with it now?' He thought as he lay on his bed tiredly and stared at the book on his night stand. 'Read the stupid thing?' He paused for a moment and shrugged, 'I can't sleep anyway...'
'... That was harder than I imagined.' He made a face of disgust, 'So she likes this kind of stuff...?' Reflecting on the contents of the book and he thought deeply, '... If she encountered the same situation, then what will she do?' Dell smirked mischievously as he began to type up the letter for extra measure so she wouldn't recognise his handwriting.
The next day he planted the letter under the same conditions. 'Will she really notice it? What are you going to do, Kamui?'
A/N: At the end he calls her formally by her surname, "Kamui" (since she's Gakupo's sister I thought I might as well give them the same surname) – just in case you guys get confused.
Chapter 3 is in the works! :)
Btw, are they too OOC?
