Fishy: i do not own J/H/D/C NKNA. Pretty sure that no one will think that I own it. Now, enjoy the story~ R&R
Short Recap: Alice grows despair at her soon-to-be group mates that determines her results in Art.
"I've lost faith in humanity."
~.W.~
Dramatic music cues in Alice's mind, as all her hopes broke into quadrillion pieces. Even Gray could hear the sounds of it breaking.
"There, there,", said Gray while he patted Alice, "It's gonna be fine."
Alice just stood there, stoned as people come over to check out the list.
"Woah. That's one scary group.", said random person A.
"I feel bad for that new girl.", said random person B.
"What!? I would love to be in a group with Blood.", said random person K fangirling.
"Yo Alice! We're in a same group. Aren't you happy?", said the cheerful bastard.
"Ah fuck, I'm stuck with these people.", said Black grimly with White beside him, smiling as always.
While more and more familiar faces show up, the scene got chaotic. They were either trying talking to Alice, arguing with other people or just being quiet. Alice enjoyed the third option as Julius and Sidney were minding their own business.
Meanwhile in Alice's head, she thought of countless possibilities that would happen. It all came down to this conclusion, Screw this.
"Silence, maggots.", said a voice that was presumed to be Mr. Bermuda.
'What-'
"Get into your groups and find a place to sit at the desks. All of you must sit with your group members.", commanded Jericho. All the students scattered and went founding their groups or a place to sit.
Alice ran to the nearest desk and sat down in a comfortable position. Gray and Ace noticed her fast movements and sat beside her with others coming in their own pace. Some were slow while others were fast, but one thing they all had in common was that they hated their group arrangement. Well, probably except a few.
They had several white and blue marble tables put into one big table, crystals were encrusted to the sides of the table, making it gleam with a dreamy glow. There was black couches and chairs around the table. By the feel and texture of it, it was top quality and really, really expensive. There was a red and black carpet at the floor, which complemented that rest of the furniture.
'Ugh, rich kids with their classy furniture.'
One thing Alice noticed when she looked around was that the other students seem to be moving away from their seat slowly. The reason lied in the people around her, they were smiling but gave a murderous atmosphere. Which was caused by the arrangement of groups, most of them didn't even like the group members. Let alone working with them.
'Scary.'
Alice prayed that there would be no murders.
~.O.~
There was now a white enveloped on the table. The teachers explained that it contained the project, they would all be working together. Over the course of the year, they will receive 4 major group projects and 8 individual projects. Each group project will be given a 3 month deadline while all individual projects are due before Winter holiday.
Seeing that no one wanted to check inside the envelope, Alice went ahead and grabbed it. Only to be beaten by a the smiling brunette.
"Ace, give it back.", said Alice in her most polite voice which actually sounded more like a death threat.
"But, Alice~ We're supposed to be doing this as a group.", said Ace while flashing her a smile.
"Couldn't care less. Hurry up and read it."
"Fine, fine.", while Ace pouted.

That is all. We look forward to the wonderful art pieces created.
"Shit. Now, this is a hard one.", said Alice,as that their teamwork was zero.
Seeing as other groups have started to discuss for their project, Alice sighed and thought of ways to attract her group members attention.
She lifted her hand, and slammed it on the table. It created a loud voice that snapped people out of their noise and turned to her.
"What do you want?", said Blood whom was obviously not in a good mood.
"For you all to pay attention. Which worked. So, WE AS A GROUP, need to create four pieces of art that demonstrates team work. I was thinking of doing a play. In the play would include paintings we made, a chorus and costumes. And the last thing we need is a report explaining the things we did. Any questions?"
"Why would I fuckin listen to you?", said Black.
"Because nobody here would like to be the first one to fail the course."
"True.", said White with a smile.
"Okay. So four groups of four people will be in charge of doing one area. Leaving one person to do the report."
"I'll do the report.", said Julius.
"So, paintings, play, chorus and song. We'll decide the groups and topic based on drawing sticks. People with the same color will be in the same represents Painting, Red represents Play, Green represents Chorus and Yellow represents Costumes."
~.N.~
The mini groups were:
Team Blue (Painting) X Team Red (Play) X Team Green (Chorus) X Team Yellow (Costume)
- Alice XXXXXXX~- White XXXXXXXXXXX- Black XXXXXXXXXXXX- Gray
- Blood XXXXXXX~- Peter XXXXXXXXXXX- Crysta XXXXXXXXXXXX- Vivaldi
- Ace XXXXXXX ~- Nightmare XXXXXXXX- Dee XXXXXXXXXXXXX- Boris
- Pierce XXXXXX~- Sidney XXXXXXXXXXX- Dum XXXXXXXXXXXXX- Elliot
(A/N: The group members name are Vertical)
Blue eyes and red eyes hugged each other and cheered for their luck.
"Yeah! We're in the same group brother."
"But it seems that certain someone didn't have the luck.", said Dee with eyes looking towards Elliot.
"Damn Brats.", said Elliot with a scowl.
Peter and Sidney never gets tired staring at each other. If you were to see it in a another angle, they were looking at each other with burning intensity.
'Still stuck with Blood and Ace. Pierce is fine though. Sigh."
Team Yellow was the only possible group that didn't have much conflicts. Although some might dislike each other but they could put that aside for the project.
They were having assembled into mini groups.
Team Blue
"So, the paintings we'll paint will be props on the play. We'll find out what to paint when Team Red is done. In the meantime, we can get the materials first.", said Alice.
"Alice-chu, can we shop for materials together?", asked Pierce.
"Sure.", said Alice with a smile.
"I want to go to~ Can I?", whined Ace.
"Sure."
'He'll probably bother me if I don't let him come with us.'
"I'll get the materials on my own.", said Blood while sipping on tea that came out of no where.
Team Red
The air was tense with Nightmare staring at this mess.
'Why am I with these people.", thought Nightmare.
"Don't you think this is going to be a fun project?", said White as he flashed a smile at Nightmare.
"I suppose so but only if we finished it. "
"I recommend that we just take a story and change it to fit in what we need.", said Sydney as he looked away from White.
"Yeah. That's good. I say we choose Oedipus.", said White.
"Sure, anything. As long as I don't need to face this dimwit.", said Peter.
"Can't you come up with a better insult?"
"Are you trying to pick a fight?"
Team Green
Alice looked at the team, concerned if they would do any work.
Dee and Dum were talking by themselves, Crysta is looking at her phone and Black is just not caring.
"Brother, we should do some work.", said Dee
"Yeap. So, a easy solution would be to write the chorus separately and choose the best. Are you guys fine with it?", said the twin brother.
"Sure."
"K."
Team Yellow
At last, the team of people with motivation and less grudges. (Yay!)
"White said we're gonna be doing Oedipus! We'll be making Greek outfits. Although it's a pity that we only have one cute female here.", said Vivaldi.
"That should be fine. We'll be making designs for dresses and accessories.", said Gray.
"We should also get other people's sizes since we'll making clothes.", said Elliot.
"Cool. I'm going go for the patterns on those accessories~ We'll spice up those boring things they had.", said Boris with a wide grin.
~.D.~
It was 3:30 pm which means, SCHOOL ENDS! Students walk out the hall, each having a different expression on their faces. As Alice walks out the hall, a hands tugs on her sleeves. It was Ace.
Alice shot him a questioning look.
"We're suppose to go to the library. Remember?"
"Ohh. Uhh. Yeah."
"So, let's go."
Ace went up to Julius, put his arms around his shoulder and suck on his earlobe. Wait-what, that never happened. Delete that, people. I repeat, you never read that.
"So Julius, mind showing us the way to the library?", said Ace.
"If you plan on disturbing me again, no."
"Come on, this time Alice is with me. I promise I won't create any trouble for you~", said Ace with his 'Innocent' smile.
"Fine. Follow me.", said Julius as he groaned in frustration.
~.E.~
Alice was amaze at what was in front of her. Books was everywhere, all neatly placed in the wooden bookshelves. There was not a speck of dust on those shelves, spotless.
Another problem arises, How would she find the book she needed?
'Julius.'
Alice walked up in front of the counter where Julius sat reading a book with Ace next to him.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where the book 'The Madman's daughter' or any way to find it?"
Julius closed his book and looked up.
"Wait for a moment."
Julius went to the computer and did his thing. (The Magical Process of finding a book)
"Find the shelves with this number."
Alice took the paper without forgetting to saying a thank you.
~.R.~
'There it is.'
Alice reached up and took the book. Thankfully, it wasn't that high up. As she walked to the counter to borrow the book, something caught her interest. A familiar back was kissing another girl that Alice didn't recognize.
"Jerry.", moaned the girl.
'What the heck. They're doing this in a library.'
"Old man, would you stop making out in the library. It's disgusting.", said Ace which was now standing behind the couple.
The girl's face was flushing red at the sudden appearance of another person.
"Kid, I'm just 9 years older than you.", said Wait-Mr. Bermuda?!
"Heh, tell that to Julius."
"You think that pretty boy will believe you?"
"70% sure since it's not the first time. Plus, Ms. Witness is just there."
'Shit. Ace, you did not just drag me into this."
"Alice. Come out now."
'Screw my life.'
Alice walked out and stood beside Ace.
"Em, hi ."
Jericho broke into a series of laughs with questioning looks from Ace and Alice.
"Well, Julius might just believe you this time. Anyways, I'll be going first."
Jericho walked away from the students and went to find the way out.
"Are you fine with him walking away like this?"
"Yeap. Now, let's go borrow the book!"
~.W.~
Alice laid down on her bed with a towel on her hair. She had just taken a relaxing, hot bath and wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet for some more time.
"It's going to be a long chaotic semester."
Fishy: HOLIDAYS. Yeah, I have nothing better to say.
Anyways, Review this chapter. Tell me what you feel. And also encourage me to write by doing so.
Come back next time with appearances of:
"BROTHER, it's the Territorial Games!"
"BlOOD, GET BACK IN THERE."
"ALICE, BE MY DATE FOR THE DANCE."
"I'M DYING IN THE INSIDE."
Soooo, Bye peeps.
