Black Order High Academy
Chapter 3
Author's Note: Mana never died. So Allen has different past experiences
'So Tira instead of Rins, sounds nice. But I will miss being called Rins. I mean Tira is alright but it's kinda girly for me. But whatever.' Tira was thinking to herself. Right now she was Tech Ed. with Bak. It wasn't to bad.
All they were doing was looking up wetlands. This is about the 100th time she has done this. So she was looking up something else. But she couldn't find it. 'Come on! Screw this all to hell. Huh. . .what's this.' Before Tira could read anything Bak started speaking to her.
Bak couldn't get her attention so he snacked a ruler beside her. It didn't startle her like he thought it would, it just made her look up. "Yes Mr. Chan?" "I told you yesterday to call me Bak. But what are you doing? The assignment is to look up wetlands. "
"I already know so much about it. It's from at least 6th grade. We're juniors. So I just went to something else." Tira said in a monotone voice. "Oh, then you mind telling us what you know?" Bak tried getting her to do the work, but didn't expect to be outwitted.
"Wetlands, they are habitats for many endangered animals. They also hold migrating animals that are going South to North, North to South. Wetlands make up 4% of our world. If wetlands disappear then we would have a world crisis."
"Wetlands are really only lowlands with moisture. But though it seems like it's not much, it is. The wetlands help us in many ways. For drinking water and add on from that. It also helps in storms. Like a hurricane for instance. The wetlands will soak up about half the water to save everything from being ravaged."
"But wetlands are going extinct because we make dams to take the water that flows into wetlands, to give to our cities. So people have been trying to make smaller amounts of water being taken from wetlands."
"Wetlands are also a beautiful sight to many eyes. It's beauty is unique, unlike any other. Though you must see past the bad things. Different kinds of wetlands have their own beauty in which we see." Tira was cut off from her long speech. "Okay I get it. You know practically everything, maybe everything. Do what you like. Everyone else get all that stuck in your head." Bak was telling everyone what to do.
So Tira continued looking at her screen, reading what she was trying to. An art contest and music contest mixed together. 'Compose your own music or use music you've heard of. Draw your own art, what you consider to be art.' Tira continued reading.
'It can be a slideshow, just a piece of art, or several paintings. The music and art much co-exist. Therefore must mean something together, show a meaning. It can be in a group, school, or individually. Ages 6 to 20. Each have their own groups for ages. Plus if in group it's in a group category. Same with school team or individually.'
'If it's a school team, it must have 10 to 50 kids in the team. No more than 50, no less than 10. School teams may have help from teachers, but must not be all done be the teachers. Winnings for school teams are going to fund their school. But if you get first place, each member will spilt $10,000, 2nd $5,000, 3rd $2,000. From 4th to 15th place will receive something else. Details will later be subscribed.' Tira smiled.
Two of her favorite subjects combined. Maybe she would do this. But she would have to print everything out. If the school won't do it, then she'll do it by herself or with a group. . But she is now part of the Student council.
'That reminds me, I never got any details about it.' Tira thought while looking at the clock. 2 minutes left. When the bell ringed Tira said bye to Lenalee and went to Yeagar's room.
It was interesting, if you call Kanda trying to stuff plants up Allen's nose. Then yeah, it was interesting. But I couldn't help but laugh. Hard to believe they're friends and that they don't kill each other, yet.
But I got stuck with them as partners. "Kanda! Allen! Behave and work with Rins ah Tira. She will be your ideal model for now. And work with her or you get a F." Yeagar yelled at the boys, but I was having trouble holding back my laughter so I was snickering to others.
"Go to ***. . . " Before Kanda could finish, he was interrupted by announcements. "This is your principle speaking. We will be having a assembly 8th 9not including lunch) half way through it. But at the end of the assembly you will go to your lockers. Teachers have been informed with all details. Thank you." Komui's voice echoed at the end.
But a minute later it screeched. And it was killing everyone's ears. Especially Kanda's brother Maire. "What the HELL!" Tira shouted. And a second later it stopped. And everyone sighed.
Then the bell rang. So Tira gathered up her stuff to leave. "Hey Allen, you walking to lunch with me or do I have to suffer with Kanda?" Tira asked. "Ha ha. Kanda that bad to you? Well I already have everything I need so yeah." Allen replied.
"Good, so Allen your really nice. I thought you lived with a devil named Cross?" "Yeah I do. I learned not to ever act like him. But I also got an uncle and my Dad. I just can't believe Cross is suppose to be my uncle. All he does is drink beer, smoke, and is a huge player." Allen's mood was dropping from being on the subject of Cross.
"How bout you Mr. Grumpy. Or are you to good for me to know anything about you?" Tira looked at Kanda who was ahead by a few inches. But before he could say anything 3 boys walked up to them in the cafeteria.
"Heeey Yuu! Who's this chick your hanging with. I thought Lena was your girl?" A boy with weird make up and a freakishly large clown hat. "Shut UP!" Kanda roared. "This is Tiranina, but just call her Tira." Allen was doing the introductions.
"You might have her in a few classes like gym and all. But the one right there is Daisyia, he's the soccer idol here in school. That big one right there is Marie. He's nice, but he's the pianist here like me. We kinda have a tie at how good the music is. But his ears can hear really well." Tira looked the first to up and down.
"Man Allen, you really are the shortest boy in school aren't you?" Allen's mood than dropped. But everyone started laughing, even Lavi? "Hey Lavi when did you get here, oh Lenalee. You two are a little slow." Tira bumped into by a really tall man.
"I'm sorry uh. . . " the boy looked Tira up and down. "I'm sorry miss. Please forgive me. But I've never seen you here before." he said. "Well , yeah. I'm new since yesterday. Oh your forgiven. And my name's Tiranina but just call me Tira." Tira held out her hand with a smile.
"Ditto. My name's Tyki Mikk. I got to go, but I hope to see you later." Tyki smiled and left. "Well he's quite the gentleman like you Allen, but seriously you need to get taller. I'm just as tall as you and no matter what every boy is taller than you, even by a inch." Tira commented.
"Please stop, I want to get a few inches taller but I can't." "Oh, Right. Sorry bout that Al." "Allen please." "Whatever fits your bill. And what about that Chinese one?" Tira pointed at him.
The boy smiled at her. "Oh, this is Chaoji. He's strong, but not as strong as most. He's ranked 13th place in the strongest in school." Lavi finished. "Right nice to meet cha' ya. Oh I'm next. Talk to you in a minute." Tira turned towards the lunch order counter.
"Dear, what would you like, huh." Jerry was only few inches away from Tira's face. She just smiled. "Well do you think I can have steak with some sauce. And corn and potatoes on the side?" Tira learned that she can get anything she wants from the cafeteria.
"You beeeeeet!" Jerry exclaimed. "Man that guy is always so hyped. It's kinda funny at times." Tira got her food and walk away. The table she was at yester day with the others wasn't empty. It only had 2 people, so that would leave enough room for the group including the new 3 guys to her.
So she shrugged and sat down. By then Lavi and Kanda were here. "Who the hell are they?" Kanda asked. But the 2 said nothing. "How am I suppose to know, I'm new for god sake. Get the picture." Tira said in a normal voice.
Now everyone was there sitting down. "Dude! Did she just tell Kanda off?" Daisyia was thrilled. "Yeah! Ain't this a" Lavi got a stare from Tira because she knew he was going to say chick. "Girl great, I mean she really speaks what's on her mind."
"Really I didn't think that was possible for a girl to completely speak what's on their mind, well Lenalee would but she's to nice to say anything insulting." Their conversation continued. "So what are you names?" Tira looked at the 3. "Wha. . What?" A girl asked. "You know, what people call you." Tira began eating, curios to know the other's names. "We. . . Well I'm Mir. . . Miranda., Miranda Lotto." The girl stuttered.
"I'm Krory, Arystar Krory. Nice to meet you." A vampire looking guy answered. "Well I'm Tira. But Miranda you need more confidence. And Krory, you look like a vampire." Tira stated. "I've been told that before." They both said.
"Told ya." Lavi teased Daisyia. "Do you really have to talk about me like that?" Tira asked. "Sorry." "So what's going on? Anything new?" Allen asked. "Well Kanda tried stuffing plants up Allen's nose. It was very educational." Tira had a hint of sarcasm at the end.
Lenalee giggled.. "Seriously Kanda, you have gone to such measures. How will our Allen ever survive such a horrible experience." Lavi made fun of what Kanda did. Kanda just glared.
"Shut up. Or I'll rip off your head rabbit." Kanda yelled at Lavi. Tira just sat back and watched what was happening.. But got done eating 3 minutes later. "Hey, you're done eating already?" Chaoji asked.
Everyone looked at her. "Yeah, so? There a problem?" Tira asked like it was nothing. But even Allen was amazed. Not even Allen ate that fast. Though he did have a lot of food. Tira left for a minute but she bumped into some one again.
"Hey! Watch where the he. . . Huh. Are you a boy?" two boys echoed. Tira was now angry. "No dimwits. I'm a girl. Sheesh. Besides you ran into me. Your just lucky I took care of my damn tray Goths. And. . . Your mouth is stitched. Odd." Tira looked them over.
"You little, hey what are you doing?" A dark haired boy looked at her. "Your skin is really dark, or tan. I've never seen anything like it before. Then under shade your eyes are dark, milky golden." Tira remarked while putting her hand over the boy's eyes.
They just stared at each other for awhile. "Sorry. Didn't mean to be rude." Tira finally said after like 3 minutes. "Ditto." They said together again. Tira stifled. "What's funny?" The blonde asked.
"You two say things all the time at the same time. Well mostly. You guys twins?" "Yeah, no one ever notices since we don't look alike. Hey chick what's your name?" The dark haired one asked. Tira got a tick on her forehead.
"Don't call me chick, let's start from there. Just call me Tira, kay." "Feisty there. But you're kinda cute there girly. But I'm Jasdero that blonde one is Debbito. But if you call both of us, then just call us Jasdevi." Jasdero said.
"Thanks for the compliment, but you can't handle me boy. So don't even try. But I'd like to be your friend. You two seem kinda cool." Tira said. "You better well know it. Of course we're cool." They said together.
"Hey! Jasdevi! Come on! Oh it's you." Tyki said. "Who?" A girl with a lollipop asked. She was wearing a blackish purple skirt and orange and black socks that went up to her knees. A white blouse and a red ribbon.
"This is Tira, I bumped into her earlier and it seems Jasdevi has done the same. Oh Tira this is Road." Tyki introduced. "Hi! So your new right? The new girl that hangs with Lavi, Allen Walker, Yuu Kanda, And Lenalee Lee right?" Road asked curios.
"Yes, Yes. But uh. . . I should probably get going. Kanda will throw a hissy fit that long hair freak. Samurai." "Hey Tira where do you go next?" Tyki wondered.. "Tiedoll, Art. Why?" "Cool! We have her in class next!" The twins chanted.
"Sweet. Hey, you're in Lala's Music class with me and a few others." Road said. "Actually I have all of you in at least one class before lunch.. But I forgot when." Tira said. They continued their conversation until they came to Tira's table.
"Hey Tira. . . Who're they? New friends?" Lenalee asked. Tira looked at them. "Me friends with her! This girl is like totally insane. We're to cool to hang out with her." The twins told them. "Funny, you just said cool that I was in your next class." Tira sat down.
The others followed. "Yeah, she's like gonna be my next best BFF. Maybe you can to Lenalee. Can I call you Lena for short?" Road questioned. "Sure I like that. For both answers." Lena said.
"Great all we need is another fucking chick in this damn group and table. Then two weird ass looking bozos." Kanda said coldly. Tira just laughed. "Gee Kanda, here I thought you didn't give a damn about anything. But if you dress up, you could be the perfect Lady model. Just cancel out your personality." Tira told him which earned her an almost punch in the face.
" Why'd you stop chicky?" Tira asked. "I don't hit girls in the face. Plus you're just not worth it." Kanda muttered. "Yeah, you don't hit girls, you just break their heart on purpose. Like that's any better Yuu." Tira continued.
Kanda's eyes shot open so fast you'd think his eyes would pop out. "You fucking wench. Don't ever call me that. Or you'll regret it." "Yeah, just like last time pony- tail. Keep talking. All I hear are words, I need some action to believe what you say." Then the bell rang and Tira ran to her next class.
"I can't believe I just heard that." All the boys and Road said. Exclude Kanda. "Hey, that chick is cool Jasdero. Shhh Debbito don't say that. She ain't worth it. Besides she is just totally not. Got it?" Jasdero lectured. "Got it! Hii!" Debbito replied.
"So you all know that we have a new student. Tira. Anything you want to know just ask her. But we can have her say something next time if you want, because we have an assembly in about 20 minutes so get to work. Draw anything you like." Tiedoll said.
Tiedoll took the kids outside, but Tiedoll was also drawing. Tiedoll didn't expect much from the kids, but no matter what they did it was all great art. They just didn't respect it. Or wasn't faithful in their work.
Tira found a nice spot under the tree. She was by herself, but she wanted a better view so she climbed the tree and started drawing with color pencils she had. Her drawing was good to her. It was just the horizon going over the ocean with it's shimmering light. It was very detailed, with shells and people on the beach.
It was amazing to one's point of view. Tira had loved drawing since she was 4. She ha been drawing ever since she could use a pencil. Music and art, her whole life's work. It may not really fit her personality but she liked being different..
Tira was so in her work she hadn't notice that about 5- 8 kids had joined her, but were looking at her drawing. But before she noticed anything Tiedoll ordered everyone to come over to him. Tira was upset about that, she was almost done. So she reluctantly walked away from her work.
But when she looked at everyone else's work she noticed they hadn't done much, plus they didn't really put all of their effort in it. 'To bad they were probably talking. If they would've actually worked they might've had the next best piece of art ever to the right person.'
"Tira, a few people have told me about your drawing. May I see it?" Tiedoll smile this warm smile towards her. But she didn't want to give it up. She thought that everyone would hate it or make fun of her because of her personality doesn't match art.
"Uh. . . I rather not." Tira told him. "Awwww. . . Is little Tira scared of our opinions?" Lavi asked with humor. Many kids asked. "Well, it's just I've never showed anyone my drawings. So. . . " Tira trailed off.
"What happened to all of your confidence? I thought you didn't care what anyone thought about you." Kanda teased in his normal voice. "I never said that." Tira started arguing with Kanda. "At least I don't have a fat ass ego basterd." Tira told him.
While they were arguing Lavi snatched away her picture. "Dude! This is totally awesome. Tiedoll look at this." Lavi shoved it in his face. And he smiled. "I love it! It's the most amazing piece of art I've seen in years. Tira, I wish for you to see me after school tomorrow." Tiedoll said as the bell rang for the assembly.
Tira just nodded. But as they were on their way to the assembly she was thinking. 'Will he let me come home late? Can I really have friends? I might not be able to do anything with them outside of school.' Tira was thinking on how she could spend time with them.
As they seated they were talking. Tiedoll next to her than Lavi on the other side. The twins behind her with Tyki and Road not far off. The new friends she had was all practically in a group.
"Hello everyone! Welcome! It's the second day back from Thanksgiving break, and we have a few weeks till Christmas break, so just be patient and cooperate with us youngsters." Komui's voice boomed.
The assembly continued about what was happening. Fundraiser's, dances, and so on. Tira was kinda bored and almost fell asleep but then she heard something about student council.
"As you know we've never had a Student Council, but this year we do. We picked our candidates by their AP and grade levels. As well as their personality. Though it may seem a little off to some, but I guaranteed that this is just right."
"They've all agreed. But you know all but 1. She's new and very good for the position so, well you know. Let's just bring them up." Komui said. Reever came up to the stand. "The President of the Student Council will be revealed last so let's start with others." Reever went on.
"Allen Walker, please come up. Allen walked up slowly but still fast. He flashed a smile and waved. "Lenalee Lee, please come up." Many people were whistling, screaming, shouting, and so on. "Yuu Kanda. Come up please." Kanda got up there in shortest time, because he was just so fast.
"Vice-president Lavi Bookman. Please come up." Reever paused. Now the whole audience were making all kinds of noise, that you couldn't hear yourself think. Well Tira could. Because she knew what was happening next, so her eyes widened.
'WHAT! I'm the president? That can't be possible they don't even know me. But I. . should've never agreed.' But when she saw Lavi's huge bright smile beside Allen's and Lenalee's she smiled. They trust her that's all that matters. Though Kanda could try cracking a smile.
"QUIET!" All teachers yelled, and it worked. "Okay, I know you know very little about the president, but we have proof that she is a good operative for this position. So please be kind to her." Komui said.
"Tiranina Delferd, please come up." Komui said. Tira just sat there for a second, but got up. Many thoughts were running through her head, but didn't show it. So she smiled as she walked up next to Lavi and Allen.
"Okay the thing about the Student council is that you come to school early. 3 days a week. Or after school. They plan anything and everything for the school. Fieldtrips and all. But more details will be sent home tomorrow. So thank-you and you may leave now." Komui finished and people started leaving. Tira went to Komui's office before leaving.
"Why am I the president? I've always been on my own except for now. I agreed to be on the student council not in charge." Tira was sorta furious. "Because you have the leadership skills when you work as a team with someone. You also have the intelligence, talents, patience, knowing of what people like after getting to know them. Tira you're perfect for this position." Komui said while looking at papers for once.
"What about Lavi? He has the personality, the skills, everything. Not me. I know nothing about these people. It doesn't make sense." Tira was looking eye to eye with Komui, Tira holding Komui by the shirt to her face.
"That is another reason. It gives you a good start. Plus another quality is that you stand up for yourself, give it a chance. If you decide to switch with Lavi then go ahead. After 2 months though. And if it's that bad then I'll consider it. You guys got the details emailed to your account. Now will you let me go?" Komui's smile never faltered.
Tiranina released him. "And besides, it will be good for your collage file. You do want to get to Stanford don't you. And I assure you, you'll do great. After all you got a full scholarship for this academy so no worries. Bye." Komui left his office while Tira just stood there for a bit.
By time Tira got home she was late by 30 minutes. 'Tomorrow is Friday. No problems. Road asked me and the others over to her house. I got the address and everything but I don't think I can stay.'
When Tira entered, her father pulled her into the kitchen. "Your late. Clean the house then come to my room. Don't forget to make dinner!" He yelled at her while pushing her against the counter and he punched her in the stomach.
Tira fell on the floor holding her stomach. She felt like crying, but just couldn't. Today was to emotional for her. She sighed and got everything out. She started cleaning and cooking.
When she finished she brought her father's food to him. Tira knocked then entered. "Here's your food. Um. . Sir I was wondering if I could spend time with my friends. And stay at a friends tomorrow?" "You got fiends? What a joke. But go ahead. Just let me know if you're ever gonna be late bitch. Now leave." He said in a very cold voice. She was shocked that she didn't have to argue, but still left to eat her food then to her room.
