Allen was ticked as he made his way to the last class. Kanda was completely indescribable. He wasn't sure whether he was furious, happy, or just plain curious. He stumbled into his only elective, drama. The teacher was stone still as everyone filed in. Once everyone found a seat the teacher unfroze.

"I'm Miranda, pleased to meet you all." She flashed a timid smile to the class as everyone stared back. As the class began the students soon learnt the woman, Miranda , was extremely melodramatic obviously why she got the job. Allen was happy when the last bell rang but his smile fell short as he thought of going home to Cross. He threw the bag over his shoulder and trudged to the main exit. He went as slow as possible with still making progress.

He opened the door as silently as possible hoping not to let Cross know of his presence. The universe frowned upon this. He tripped on his own two feet crashing into a small side table that had pushed against the wall. Allen was pulled back to his feet roughly by a hand gripping his collar.

"What are you trying to do boy." The tall red head spat. Somewhere in the back of Allen's mind he thought Cross and Lavi looked like relatives. Cross shook the boy trying to bring him back to reality.

"Sorry Master Cross." Allen mumbled through hoping he'd leave it at that. Cross threw Allen out the door.

"Don't even think about coming back." Cross hissed and slammed the door shut. Allen sat shell-shocked for a moment before he was hit with the weight of his situation. Cross had just kicked him out of the house. He sighed and pushed himself up. Well now what.

After stumbling around for an hour Allen finally found Kanda's house. Sometime ago the sky had let loose and now Allen was soaked. He knocked on the hard wood door trying to stop the shaking in hand. A few choice curses where heard until the door finally opened.
