Second chapter, yo :3 The first chapter got a pretty good response, I had people adding the story to their favorites so that encouraged me alot :D Yes, I'm very easily pleased = =.
PS -- If anybody does KPop, I'm completely hooked onto 2PM's new song "Again&Again" I'm officially a fan. But I really wonder do all their fans use 10 days worth of their breakfast money to buy their album, cause I certainly do ;__________; but it's all worth it .
If you don't like KPop, check it out anyways cause if you like catchy songs, hot dancing, and pretty boys, I can guarantee they can win your heart. :) Heck, they stold mines completely XD;;
Enough of the pimping. Enjoy! (\(^∀^)o
Bell rings.
Class 1-A started packing up.
"Well, that's all for today." Cross said hastily. "if you have any questions, ask them tomorrow."
"Cross sensei!" Lavi raised his hand. "Why can't we ask you after school?" he asked with a smirk.
"I have a date afterschool, that's why. Now hurry and leave."
"Geez...sensei. Way to put your students first before anything else." Lavi got up and started putting his books in his bag. "C'mon Allen, hurry up."
"W-wait Lavi." Allen stared at the blackboard. "Sensei, I don't understand--"
"Stupid child." Cross screamed at the poor kid. "Didn't I tell you to don't ask me any questions?! Ask me tomorrow. I'm busy after school."
"But sensei!"
Cross interrupted him. "Lenalee!" he shouted for her. She was in the back of the room organizing the books. She immediately turned around.
"Yes Sensei?" she asked running up to him.
"Tutor Allen on this topic.
"WHAT?!" Allen cried out. "Stop being so lazy sensei! Your no different from last year!" he scolded.
"Sensei, that's just pathetic." Lenalee said. "You should teach your own students, that's your responsibility."
"I'm not being lazy, and I am being responsible. I'm just letting you learn by yourselves." he looked at Lenalee and smirked. "Besides Allen, you got yourself such a cute tutor, you should be thankful." he chuckled proudly. Allen stared at him unbelievably.
"Now go home, I have a date to go to." and he walked quickly out the room before Allen get to say anything.
"Allen." Lavi started, apparently he was standing by the doorway the whole time. "I can help you too you know. I'm pretty good with math." he smiled.
"Will you?!" Allen asked happily as they left the room.
"Sure." he turned around "Lenalee, you can come too."
Lenalee locked the door as she left the room. "No thanks guys, I have track practice right now."
"Then we can go after your track practice." Allen said.
"Yeah, we can wait for you." Lavi smiled. "And besides, Allen needs more than one tutor" he laughed.
"What was that supposed to mean, Lavi?"
"Nothing." Lavi whistled.
"Liar."
Lenalee hesitated for a moment. "Should I go?" she pondered. "I should go...just to thank Allen for what happened in lunch."
"O...Ok, I'll go." she said, breaking into their arguement.
"Alright then!" Lavi said enthusiastically. "We'll wait for you in front of the school."
*in the library*
"You have to cancel the X on both sides--" Lenalee was interrupted once again by Allen's loud eating.
"Allen!" Lavi looked up from the book he was reading. "Shouldn't you be listening to Lenalee instead of eating chips?" He snatches the bag from his hand. "It's you that needs tutoring, now pay attention."
Allen smiled nervously. "S-sorry Lenalee, Lavi. I'm just not good with studying without some sort of food."
Lenalee laughed nervously. "It's ok Lavi-kun, I figured this would happen anyways. As long as he gets what I'm saying."
Allen nodded. "Can I please have my bag of chips back, please Lavi?" he begged in a cute tone.
"Fine." The annoyed Lavi stood up and stretched his arms "I'm gonna get myself something to drink." he said and left
Lenalee made sure Lavi was out of sight, then she turned to the stuffed Allen. "A-Allen kun." she started.
Allen paused from putting a chip into his mouth. "Yes Lenalee? What is it?" he looked at her in the eye.
Lenalee turned away a little. "Thanks. Thank you for today, during lunch." she said
Allen thought for a moment, then chuckled softly. "Oh. That was nothing. It's better than Komui finding his sister drenched in lentil soup." he smiled friendily. "Which reminds me..." he took out a dirty towel "I have to give this back to Miranda, she kept on insisting me to keep it."
Lenalee nodded and held her hand out "I'll give it back to her on the way home."
Allen gave her the towel. "Thanks, I would've forgotten it."
At that time, Lavi came back and stopped their conversation. "Here Lenalee." he put down a small can of orange juice. "Drink it."
"Eh?! What about me Lavi?!" Allen cried out childishly.
"I only had money for two." Lavi said sitting down. "Besides, you ate too much already. You will never make it into the boxing team this way."
Lenalee looked up. "Boxing?" she asked curiously.
Lavi turned to her. "Yep, me and Allen are trying out for the boxing team this year. We couldn't make it in last year because of SOMEONE who had to bring food to the tryouts." he glanced at Allen, whom returned a shaky smile. "If it wasn't for you Allen, we wouldn't be kicked out of the gym."
"I promise I won't this year." Allen said confidently. "I was nervous so I thought I should bring some food to relax."
A happy feeling filled Lenalee. It was the thought of Allen boxing that made her happy. "Thats great! Work hard both of you!" She slided her can of juice over to Allen.
"Here, you have this."
"REALLY?!" Allen brightened up.
"Yep, you need alot of energy anyways." she added
Allen nodded and starting gulping down his drink.
"It's pretty late." Lavi said looking at the clock on the wall. "I think we should go."
"Your right." Allen put down his can and looked around the library. "No one is here anymore."
"And its dark outside." Lenalee strechted her neck to take a look out the window.
"Let's leave." Lavi said as he packed his bag. Allen and Lenalee agreed and started to put away their stuff too.
*outside*
"We go this way." Lavi pointed.
"My house is this way" Lenalee pointed to the opposite direction. "I have to take a bus home."
"Shouldn't one of us go with Lenalee?" Allen said. "It's dark and its kinda dangerous for a girl to go home alone."
"It's ok. I'm fine by myself." Lenalee shook her head. "Besides, I always get home late when its a match day."
"But this is different." Lavi said. "We kept you in this late, so we'll get you home." He grabbed Lenalee's arm and started walking off.
"I'll go with her, Allen." he suggested.
"Ok, be careful!" Allen hollered after him.
"Wait for me with dinner Allen, and don't eat everything!" Lavi yelled back.
Allen's laughed faded out in the distance.
*on the bus*
Lavi and Lenalee rode the bus silently. Lavi listened to music while Lenalee was reading.
Lenalee tried to focus on her book, but found it incredibly hard after what Lavi said to Allen. "Wait for me with dinner...What was that supposed to mean?" She closed her book and stared out the window.
Lavi looked down and saw her acting strange. He took off one side of his started.
"Lenalee?" he asked worriedly. She jumped a little.
"Y-yes?" she said. "Y-you startled me."
Lavi smiled. "Sorry. I just saw you acting a little weird...are you ok?"
She looked out the window again. "There...is something bothering me. It's nothing really big. It's stupid really actually."
Lavi raised his eyebrow. "What's bothering you?" he asked, taking off his headphones completely.
Lenalee turned to him. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't place her thoughts into words.
"I--I don't know if I should ask you this, it's a bit private." she stuttered. "I...heard you telling Allen to wait for me with dinner back home, and...I was just curious to knowing what that means." she looked down.
Lavi put on a blank face. Then he bursted out laughing. Lenalee looked at him. "Oh! Well...I'm not sure if I can tell you this without Allen's consent, but I'm sure he doesnt mind." he smiled a bit.
Lenalee listened attentively.
"I live with Allen." he said in a voice that was hard to tell if he was happy or not. "He doesn't have any parents-- he's an orphan." he stuck his head out the window.
Lenalee eyes widened. A overwhelming feeling struck her and stuck in her heart. She felt like crying. But she couldn't feel herself breathing or even thinking anymore. Before she knew it, tears started rolling down her face. She wanted to wipe it away, but her hands sat there like a statue.
Lavi leaned his arms on the windowsill and put his head down. He didn't realize the crying Lenalee and continued. "I'm not much older than him, but I can take care of him for the stuff he can't do. He looks like a jolly fellow all the time but, we can never imagine the pain he goes through." Lavi stopped for a moment. "The only relative he said he can remember is his foster father, but he passed away when he was really young."
Lenalee began to cry uncontrollably. Lavi heard small noises coming from her and turned around. "Lenalee?" he asked softly.
She ignored him and continued sobbing. Her body was still inside a big block of ice.
Lavi smiled weakly and wrapped his arms around Lenalee. "It's no use crying Lenalee." he said gently.
Lenalee covered her face with her hands and cried softly on Lavi's shoulder. Allen was always a carefree and cheerful person, but it was all a mask. His true feelings are hidden underneath. "Why won't he act the way he wants? Why does he have to trap himself inside?" A sudden thought pierced through her mind as her body regained conciousness. She wanted to care for him, more than anybody in the world. She wanted to break that fake mask hes wearing. She wanted to open up Allen to her and everyone else around him.
"Lenalee..." He said in a bittersweet tone. He pulled her away from him, but held onto her shoulders. He looked straight into her eyes. "Do...you like Allen?"
Lenalee felt that certain uncomfortable, yet warm feeling in her heart again. "I...don't know either, Lavi." she thought, but couldn't answer him. She wanted to avoid his sad green eyes, but something in them didn't let her leave their sight. After what felt like years, she decided to answer Lavi's question.
"Lavi, I--"
"I..." Lavi stopped her from going any further.
"really don't care if you like him." he pulled her back in. "because--" He paused and hugged her tighter. "he's only a friend."
Lenalee frozed. She never heard him spoke in such a cold and scary voice before, as if it was a voice belonging to someone completely different. The tenderness of his usual voice disappeared, every word stung her heart. She didn't know what to say.
A few moments later, Lavi slowly let go of her, but continued holding onto her hand. He stared out the window. Lenalee watch him as the wind blew his hair. Lavi turned back and looked at her.
"I wish..." he grabbed her hand tightly "...this bus will go on forever." he said and his sweet smile returned to his face.
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. THE DRAMA. Why must you be so lucky Lenalee? .______.
