Nagareboshi, A Promise Underneath The Stars
Hi! I'm back xD Updating this story is a lot easier than my other stories since it only contains 1,000 words per chapter xD. Well, you guys might want longer chapters but, at my current state, this is the best that I can do! xD Anyways, thanks for your reviews! I really appreciate it! And, 7 chapters means 7 days, so in total, the timeline of this story ends in a week xD Finally, sorry for my mistakes xD I was a bit sleepy since I wrote this chapter late night. And I'm not good at English, so please deal with it! =)
Disclaimer (LOL I forgot this one on my first chapter, well, who needs this anyway -_-) I do not own Pandora Hearts. Blahblahblah…..
Day 2
Alice's POV
I woke up. It was already late in the morning. I overslept again. Well, it wasn't a surprise, I always wake up late even though I sleep early. It's been that way since the day I entered this stupid hospital.
I stood up, my legs were still shaky since I was still drowsy. I rubbed my eyes and headed to the washroom inside my hospital room. It was just small, not even enough to fit two people inside. But then, I noticed a small piece of paper on top of my desk. I don't remember putting paper there, so I quickly took it. There were words written on it, I decided to read it:
"Thanks for treating wounds, even though you were the one who caused it xD"
-Oz Vessalius
My sleepiness vanished instantly as soon as I finished reading this letter. I forgot that I did brim him into my room to treat his wounds. I really do have memory gap, what a drag. But still, deep inside my heart, I know I'm happy.
Happy because I can put my pranks into action again, I grinned. "So this is his name huh?" I thought to myself, still grinning. I took a quick bath, changed my clothes, ate my breakfast and ventured out to bother random people. This place is really boring, it really is a miracle that I managed to survive here for so long.
Oz' POV
It was already 11am. Pure boredom is what I feel. Dammit! I've been waiting for so long! Yet why isn't she coming. I gave her my name! It should be enough information for her to know where I am! She could ask the nurse if she wanted to! Does she not care about me? All these thoughts, they were so annoying, it's as if all my thoughts were concentrated on her? Could this be… love? HELL NO. I was just really goddamn bored and I usually don't have anything to think about, so now that I have someone to think about, I just can't stop thinking about that someone. Yep. That's it, that surely is the reason behind it. I don't feel anything like "love". Love is just a stupid thing anyway. Making your mind go crazy just because of a single person, sigh, what a terrible thing to have.
After I assured myself that I'm still normal and sane, I headed to the door of my room. But once I touched the doorknob, I had a sharp feeling, a feeling that after I opened this door, I would never see earth again. Rest assured, I prepared myself. Slowly, I opened the door and once it was fully open. I quickly looked around. I looked to the right, nothing important, just old boring patients walking by. But as soon as I looked to the left, I can clearly see a familiar figure. Holding a wooden stick in her hand, rushing to me like a football player. The happenings were quite fast that my brain took a while to process it. And once it was fully process, the girl was already jumping at me…
"Oh… My… God…" I said as my jaw dropped. But I am not going to be beaten, I quickly raised my hands and as her stick was going to hit my temple, I held it tight, in both palms. "Don't ever expect the third time to work again" I said as grinned.
I looked at her face, as expected, she was flabbergasted. Her eyes wide open. By the time I know it, her feet were already touching the ground.
"Nice move there, blondie" She smiled. "Didn't expect you to pull that move"
"Well, I'll take that as a compliment and yeah, thanks" I beamed back "And by the way, It's Oz, not blondie"
"Oh yeah, I forgot that you wrote your name on that paper" She said as she looked unknowingly. "The name's Alice by the way, Alice Baskerville" She said as raised her hand, she was asking for a handshake.
I then, shook her hand. And as I thought, even though she looked tough, her hand was really fragile, almost like a child. And now that I think of it, she is quite malnourished.
"Well, wanna go in? Think of it as a payback for taking care of me" I smiled as I pointed to my room.
"Sure!" She beamed widely. She then, hastily entered my room. For starters, my room was quite wide. My parents especially chose this room for me. They were rich and all, so they could afford it.
"Wow! It's really wide! It's the complete opposite of my room!" She said in awe.
"Yours? Oh, you mean that small room you took me in?" I askedand at the same time, grinned.
"You don't need to emphasize 'small'" She pouted. She can really be cute when she's like this. It's surprised me when I realized that I was seeing a new side of her.
"Well, anyways, may I ask a question?" I asked "It's really bothering me from the start you know?"
"Hmm? Sure, go ahead" She smiled like a child.
"Why are you doing this? I mean, back from where we first met, the nurses where chasing you, and then, you also hit my head twice for no reason, well, sure there is a reason but it's not big enough to hit one's head" I asked, trying to clear up the questions that's been in my head for a long time.
She smirked. Then, she stood at my bed, legs apart, pointed down at me and said, "It's really simple, it's just because I'm bored." She said with a shining smile.
I grinned. "Well, we have the same problem then" I looked up at her.
"Huh?" She said as she tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
"I'm also bored you know" I explained "So then, why don't we become friends?" She looked flabbergasted as I said this "I mean, we're both bored anyway so, why don't we spend time together? You know, just the same as what people of our age do"
"A friend huh…"She looked down the floor, she looked as if she were in deep thought "Sure! Why not" She looked at me and said reassuringly.
I then smiled too. Suddenly, a strong wind passed by the windows of my room. And it somehow, fluttered Alice's dress. And let's just say that, I saw something that's magical and full of wonder, to put it simply, something that's not meant to be seen.
"Gosh, you're 13 years old and you still wear teddy bear designed ones?" I smirked as I questioned her.
"WHY YOU!" Her face was painted full red, she reached for her stick. That was my cue to run for it. "COME HERE YOU DAMN BLONDIE!" She then chased me all around the hospital.
"Surely, my boring days came to an end" I smiled as I thought to myself.
Well, that's it! So how was it? Please review so I can read your opinions. And by the way, I know that there will still some mistakes here so please point them out for me! It's past midnight here, and I'm really sleepy, Bye!
