A Foreign Transfer Student. Chapter 3. Pranks and Halloween.
I skipped school the next day to sleep in. I was still upset from what happened last night. Once I was awake I then took a walk around the school, bored. I ready missed enough school so I decided not to attend the rest of it. I was thinking of just quitting school. 'Why am I even in this school?' I thought once again. I sighed as I walked to the Headmasters office to talk to him. It was sunset and it was the first time I didn't go watch the Night Class.
When I got to the Headmaster I told him I didn't want to stay at school and told him that I came to Japan for something else, also that I didn't know how I ended up in this school. He seemed to be thinking for a minute.
"What kind of thing did you really come here for?" He asked like he really wanted to know. I looked down, unable to think of a lie.
"I'm sorry, but for safety reasons, I can't say." He looked shocked for a second, then he smiled.
"Do you have anywhere else to stay?" He asked me and I shook my head.
"They you may stay here. I just ask a few things from you." I asked what they were.
"1. You need help out around the school sometimes, and 2. You need to set up something for the Halloween party." I smiled. I love Halloween, and not for the candy. I agreed to her terms, and he seemed so happy, it kind of creeped me out. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and one of the Night Class kids came in.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was interrupting. I'll come back later." He said getting ready to leave.
"Kaname, wait. You haven't met Ashley yet, have you? She Canadian, you know, Eh." I sighed as he said, Eh, though I knew he was only joking. Kaname took a look at me and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Kaname Kuran. It's nice to met you." I said hello back then stood up.
"I'll leave now." I told the Headmaster then walked out the door, happy that I no longer had to attend school. I also already knew what I wanted to do for Halloween.
When I got back to my room, I got things prepared, since they would take a while to make and that Halloween was a few days away. I then snuck out of school to get some other things I would need. When I had everything I needed, and everything was prepared, I put everything in the corner and then went to bed.
~.~.~.~.~.~.
The next day I had a feeling that something bad might happen, so I grabbed a couple of things on my way out of my room. I then spent the rest of my day outside, just walking around. When it was time for the Night Class to come out, I didn't go by the tree like normal, but pasted back and forth in front of the tree and behind the girls. Something was really bugging me, telling me to be careful and watch my step. I was also watching Yuki trying to keep the screaming girls back allow, Zero not yet there.
When the gates started to open, the girls started to scream and go crazy even more then normal.
'It's probably because the Halloween party is coming up in a couple of days.' I thought. I heard that both Day and Night class students were aloud to go.
Yuki suddenly begged me to help her to hold back the girl. She knew that I was one of the only girl beside her that wasn't really into the Night Class. Although, she still didn't know I knew about the vampires so she shouldn't even be asking. I then sighed, giving up, and said only this time. The girls I was holding back were mad because I wasn't even a prefect. I could understand that, but I as helping Yuki since she seemed desperate and it wasn't fair that she had to keep all of the girls back on her own. Then, without warning, someone pulled me from behind and hugged me, making all the other girls gasp and then glare. I didn't really have to look behind me to tell who it was.
"Hello again, Ash-San." Aido said smiling warmly at me. I could hear the girls growling at me for this.
"What are you doing?" I demanded and he just smiled brighter and hugged me tighter.
"I'm just being friendly." He then leaned in close to whisper in my ear. "Also a little pay back for flipping me that one time." I glared at him but kept back a growl.
"I told you once, don't mess with me." I whispered back as a slipped something into his pocket without him knowing. Zero then came up an pulled me away from Aido, telling him to get to class.
"Um, I think you would want to start running." Yuki whispered to me as the girls gave me evil glares. I didn't say anything back, I just ran. All the girls (1) chased after me. Luck for me I was a fast runner, and I hid in a tree as I watched the girls run past.
'Damn it. I hope my little friends give Aido a BIG scare.' I thought as I climbed down from the tree.
-Halloween Night, party-
I was dressed in an midnight blue cloak with matching clothes underneath and a witch's hat with the tip bent. I stood behind a steaming cauldron with prizes behind me. I was play 'Double, Double Toil and Trouble'. (2) I had a chair behind for when I got tired of standing. I had already had at least five people do my guess game, and I enjoyed watching everyone do things in they're costumes.
I then saw Aido heading my way, followed be Kain. They were both dressed in there night class uniforms, but were also dressed as vampires. I almost made me want to laugh. Everything about their vampire costumes looked real but I knew only the fangs were really real.
"I believe these are yours, Ash-san." Aido said as he put three very big, life like spider wind up toys on the table. I saw Kain smiling, so I guessed my little "friends" did end up scaring Aido. I chuckled and leaned forward.
"I warned you not to mess with me. You didn't listen." Aido smiled and made his eyes give off the puppy dog look.
"But that was a little unfair, putting the spiders in my pocket." He said, his voice was a little whiny, but he was still smiling and his eyes still puppy like. I picked one up and smiled.
"They're just toys." I said, showing him the winder. Before Aido could say anything, Kain asked me what my booth is.
"I show people there soul animal." Both boys had a confused look.
"Here, I'll show you." I took a strand of my hair and put it in a vile with some liquid. I shook it up, the poured it into the cauldron . Instantly, a puff of smock shoot up in the shape of a wolf, and it even howled, before evaporating. Both boys looked shocked.
"Ash-san, how..." Aido started.
"Magic." I finish for him, grinning.
"See my soul animal is the wolf. Can be mean and violent at times, but also is loyal to friends and others when needed. (3) Want to give it a try?" They asked what they had to do, so I told them.
"I'll try for fox." Aido told me after thinking for a bit. He pulled out a strand of his hair and put it in the vile I held out. I shook the vile and then poured it into the cauldron. A puff of red and white smock came up in the shape of... a fox. It yipped a few times, then evaporated.
"Hm, nice guess. So, what do you want?" I asked, turning to the prizes. He grinned at me as if saying, I want you, then looked at what I got. His eye landed on the vampire bats.
"What are those?" He asked.
"Chocolate vampire bats, though you'd only get one." That's what he took. Kain said he'd come back later and try it. Before they left there was something I wanted to ask Aido.
"Why have you started calling me Ash (4) all of a sudden? I mean, it's not bugging me or anything, I just want to know." Aido just smiled and shrugged.
As they were leaving, they spoke in Japanese, but i still understood what they said.
"How did she do that, with the smock animals?" One asked.
"I don't know. It couldn't have been real magic, could it?" the other said. I wasn't listening anymore, because I was grinning.
'Oh but it really IS real magic.' I thought to myself as I softly laughed and grinned
(1) The ones that likes Aido
(2) It's the same song from Harry Potter 3. It's the first thing I thought of when I wrote this.
(3) The results were completely made up. At the time I wrote them I wasn't thinking too seriously what would make sense. If it does end up making sense I suppose that's good luck on me? *shrugs*
(4) -_- I felt the need to say she doesn't mention San. Now that I am older and a little more experienced I realize just how much I felt like I had to explain things XP
I felt like keeping all my bracket notes, as a reminder of where my writing skills was back then. I just moved them down here so the story doesn't look so messy
