A/N: ARGH FDKJGFKDG. While I was editing it, I forgot to save and accidentally pressed the f5 button, so I lost most of my work. ;-; Here's the third chapter. I'll probably be updating/publishing a chapter every week or so regularly. And if I'm not lazy, maybe 2 chapters. c:

Alice's POV:

"Hnn," I mumbled with annoyance. Why was he following me around like a puppy? And why was that seaweed head tagging along with him? I sighed. This was just terrible. I just wanted to be left in solitude, but we attend almost all of our classes together! And where ever I sat, he managed to end up sitting right next to me. I looked out the corner of my eyes. He's still following me. And that seaweed head is also still there, following that blondie Oz like a puppy.

I was heading to lunch. Seaweed head had whispered something to Oz, but I didn't care. It wasn't any of my business anyway. I entered the lunch room and walked towards the line to get my food. I grabbed a sandwich and got a carton of chocolate milk. I looked back at to see if Oz was behind me, but he wasn't there.

"Whatever."

I walked out of the cafeteria. I wandered around to find a quiet place to eat. I soon found what seemed to be an abandoned library. No one was there. It was silent. Perfect. I went to the end of the room and sat in front of a bookshelf. I took a bite out of my sandwich.

"This isn't bad at all," I said to myself. The sandwich was good. Better than the ones from my other schools. In just a few seconds, it disappeared from my hands. I licked my fingers to get the sauce off and drank my milk. I looked at the clock in the hallway. I still had about thirty-five minutes untill lunch was over. I sat back down to where I was sitting. I let my mind slip away for a few moments, and I thought about the dream I had a few nights ago.

"Jack..." I whispered to myself. Then, I heard footsteps.

"Dude, I know I saw her go somewhere 'round here."

"You sure? I could've sworn that she went over there."

The footsteps grew louder and closer. Two boys appeared at the end of the bookshelf. One with brown hair that reached his shoulder, and one that was bald.

"Ah, there you are, Miss Baskerville," the bald one said as he smirked. Chills went up my spine.

"How've you been-," the other guy paused for a second. "... B-Rabbit?"

"Huh?" How did they..?

"Don't pretend like you don't know, Alice. We know everything about you." They walked closer.

"W-what are you talking about?" I laughed lightly. I got up and walked back untill I hit another bookshelf behind me. The baldie's hand reached out and touched my hair.

"Let's have fun this year, shall we?" he grinned. I slapped away his arm.

"Don't you me with your filthy hands, you ugly baldie."

He put his hands up. He seemed ticked off.

"My, my Alice. We just wanted to give you a warm welcome."

"Hn," I snarled. I pushed them out of my way and ran towards the door, and they ran after me. Before I could reach it, the baldie grabbed my hair.

"Ack! Let go of my hair!" I struggled and tried to make him let go, but as I did, he yanked harder each time.

"Tsk. Man, Alice. I thought we'd get along just fine, if you hadn't been so rude and ran off." He yanked my hair again. I bashed my head up against his forehead, and he let go of my hair as he fell back. I put my hand over my forehead. It hurts. The brown-haired guy swung his fist at my face. I tried to dodge, but I was too slow. I fell to my side. Just before I got up, I was kicked in the face.

Just before I was about to be kicked again, the door busted open.

"Alice!" It was Oz.

"Crap," one of the guys said. They ran out the door past Oz and got away.

"Alice!" Oz ran to my side. "Alice, you're hur-"

"What are you doing here?" I cut him off.

"I was worried about you. When I came back, you weren't in the cafeteria." I looked at his emerald eyes. Now that I had a closer look at Oz, he was a bit close. I became flustered. My chest had tightened.

"Alice... you're bleeding." His hand reached up and touched my cheek. I blushed quickly pushed him away.

"W-what do you think you're doing?! Don't touch me so casually like we're friends!" I got up and ran out the library. After a while, I slowed down.

"Ugh, what's wrong with me?" I put my hand over my chest, which was beating fast. What was this.. feeling..? A few seconds later, someone who seemed to be running bumped into me around the corner.

"Sorry, you okay?" I looked up. It was Seaweed head. "Er..? What happened to you?"

"None of your business." I crossed my arms and put my head up high. "Oh. By the way, wouldn't happen to know where the infirmary room is, would you?"

"Um, I think I saw one while coming this way. Just go straight and left two times. It'll be the third door on the left."

"Okay, thanks." Seaweed head switched his gaze from to something behind me.

"There you are, Oz. Where'd you run off to?" I looked behind me, and there he was. Oz.

"Oh, hey Gil- Alice!" Oz walked towards us. I took my eyes off of him and walked to the infirmary. Then something took me from the hand. Oz. He looked at me and smiled. I felt the warmth of his hand.. The warmth I was feeling at that very moment.. was.. something I couldn't put into words..

"Where are you taking her to?" Seaweed head ask Oz.

"To the infirmary. I don't want the cut on her pretty face to get an infection."

"What are you saying.." I mumbled under my breath so Oz and Seaweed head couldn't hear what I had said. When we got to the infirmary I sat on the chair.

"There isn't anyone here," Seaweed head said. Oz had gotten a first aid kit. As he applied alcohol to my cut, I flinched at the stinging pain. I didn't notice that he was staring at me after he stuck the band-aid on the small cut.

"Alice, who were those guys?" he asked with a stern look.

I just stared at the floor for a long time. Who were those guys? "I don't know," I answered. "They're probably former acquaintances of someone I knew." I looked at Seaweed head, who was staring at me. Why was he looking at me with such a stupid face? "What are you looking at?" I said solemnly.

"You should tell the guidance counselor about this," he replied.

"As if I would. I can take care of my own problems."

"Alice." I looked at Oz, his eyes had a hint of despair in them. He mumbled something I couldn't hear. He looked at me and smiled. I wonder what he said..

The bell rang for the next class. I got up from my chair and walked out of the infirmary room. Oz walked with me, who was followed by that Seaweed head.

"Alice, what classes do you have next?" Oz asked.

"I think I have gym," I said calmly.

"Aww," he said in a cute way. "Gil and I have musical theaters next. Say, Alice, we'll hang out after school right? I mean, we're friends, right? Unless.." his voice trailed off.

I looked at him with a sincere look. "I guess we could," I said with a gentle smile.

Finally~ :D. I hoped you guys like this chapter.
