Chapter 7.
Rosette was terribly bored. Joshua who thought she was sick had told her to stay in bed and rest. She much rather wanted to run around and have fun though.
She let her eyes travel to the watch that hung on the wall beside the door. The others must have been in the last lesson by now. Chrono would soon come and give her the newest homework, and because she hadn't been there, she wouldn't be able to make it right.
She sighed and let her eyes scan the nature outside her window. It was a nice day actually; a little bird was sitting in the tree outside her window and was singing loudly. It reminded her of the little bird in Chrono's apartment "Sounds almost like Gregor" she whispered to herself.
A knock was heard from her door, making the little bird fly away "Come in" she grumbled irritated. The door was opened and in stepped Joshua "Hey sis, you've got a visitor" he said and stepped aside. Behind him stood Chrono with his hands full of paper.
"You feel better?" Chrono asked and stepped in through the door "Here is your homework" he said and dropped the bunch of papers on the table, almost making it break (That was exaggerated -.- or what is it called?) "There is a lot today"
Joshua walked back out and down to Claire who waited for him.
"Thank you" the blonde grumbled and eyed the papers with a glare "Why is there so much?"
"Mean teachers? Too much paper? How should I know?" Chrono replied and found a chair to sit on.
"Definitely the first" Rosette grumbled "Mrs. Kate is the worst though" she shivered by the thought of the old hag "Old hag… that were the first words that came to my mind when I saw her the first time… and from the first moment on, neither of us seemed to like the other"
"I felt almost the same… I was a little afraid of her, as if I was only a little child that was about to get punished"
She examined the papers and looked through them "Oh no… not math" she groaned, when she saw a paper with a lot of numbers on it. She hated math, more than anything else.
"It's not that hard if you know how to do it" Chrono smiled
"Easy for you to say" she grumbled "You are good in everything on that school… I'm not"
Chrono seemed to be thinking of something "Well… how about that" he began "I could help you with some of the homework? I don't have time today, but maybe one of the next days"
Rosette blushed "Y-You would really do that for me?" she asked, making him smile "Sure, we have to help each other… and maybe we could learn to know each other a little more too"
Her eyes widened, her cheeks turning another shade of red "S-S-Sure… w-why not?" she stuttered, gripping the papers harder and harder in her hands.
He got up and stood "Well then, I still have something to do today… I'll see you tomorrow in school if you feel better" he smiled and waved, before leaving the room and closing the door "Good… bye" she said dreamily, followed by a breathy sigh.
Joshua was the one who pulled her out of her dreamy state. Claire was gone too and now he was hungry "Sis? Hey sis?" he called, his stomach growling loudly.
He shook her, making her fall sideways onto the floor. An angermark popped out on Joshua's temple "Grrrrrr… HEY SIS" "AHHRRG" she jumped and was immediately pulled out of her trance "What are you trying to do, scare the living daylights out of me?" she yelled angrily
"Hey, is it my fault you're daydreaming? I'm hungry" he replied sourly "Claire has gone home to eat and now my stomach is almost killing me" he clutched his stomach when it again started to growl loudly.
Rosette blinked "Oh, I'm sorry Joshua… come here, let's go to the kitchen okay? I'll make your dinner" she smiled. Joshua's face brightened immediately.
When they arrived the kitchen though, he felt a weakening spell and had to lie down on the couch in the living room. He had had those spells ever since he was little, which was one of the reasons he didn't go to school. Rosette placed a blanket over him and gave him the remote "I'll bring you your dinner soon okay?" she smiled and left him.
He found some random movie to watch while waiting.
A loud and bloody fighting scene was on when Rosette entered with his food. She frowned when a guy got his head cut off "You shouldn't watch something like that, it's from 18 years old and you're only 16" she commented
"Isn't that bad" he replied and started eating "Besides, I am used to violence, I live with you"
The next thing he knew was a strong pain in his head, when she locked it into one of her famous super noogies "I'LL GIVE YOU VIOLENCE" she roared.
"AAHHH, MERCY, MERCY PLEEEAASSEEE" he begged, until she let him go "Ouch… see what I mean?" he rubbed his poor violated head "I would be quiet and eat if I were you dear brother" she hissed darkly, making him almost shiver.
The rest of the evening was like always. Both siblings sat on the couch watching TV. Later on, Joshua disappeared into his game-room to continue his new game.
Meanwhile Rosette got tired and went to bed "Don't stay up too late okay?" she told her brother when walking by the door "Okay" a faint voice answered, followed by a loud BOOM "Oh dammit" she heard him curse "I was so close"
She chuckled and then headed for her bed.
The next morning was like every other morning. Rosette was woken up by Joshua, she was late and got no proper breakfast and then she arrived in school, only to meet one of her teachers.
After that she trudged annoyed to her first class. Today it was English "Great" she grumbled and entered the door. She was met by a happy face "Over here Rosette" she heard a little voice call. Rosette smiled back "Hey Azzy" she hurried over and sat down beside her.
Azzy or Azmaria was Rosette's best friend; she was a few years younger than she but was as smart as their teacher. The little girl had a pair of amazing red/brown eyes and long silvery hair.
The two chatted about this and that. Sometimes Rosette threw short glances over her shoulder to the purple haired boy in the back. He was talking with some other students and didn't notice her. The loudness was soon stopped by the loud voice of their English teacher though.
"Silence class" he called, silencing the class immediately "Today we have a new student among us, say hello to Aion Cattiveria" (Means evil in Italian -.- I looked in my dictionary) a tall boy entered the class room, he had long white hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail, hi wore glasses and had a pair of piercing lilac eyes.
The boys that had laughed at his name were now in total silence. He wasn't very muscular, but his appearance told people to not mess with him. Some girl in class started whispering and giggling when the boy stopped beside the teacher.
Rosette met his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He winked at her, making her blush slightly. Something about him seemed familiar, as if she had seen him a long time ago.
In the back, Chrono was thinking the absolute same thing, but something told him that the guy wasn't as friendly as he did. He narrowed his eyes slightly. He had the feeling he should hate that guy, that he should loathe him.
"Hi I'm Aion, I hope you will treat me with good manners and that we can make a good team" he smiled
"Rosette?" Azmaria whispered quietly "I don't like him"
Rosette looked at her "Why? What do you dislike about him?" she asked
"I don't know… it's just, I have such a bad feeling about him… I don't really know why" the little girl eyed the male with a wary look "He just scares me"
Rosette placed a hand on the smaller girls shoulder "I will not let him near you Azzy, I promise" Rosette whispered reassuringly, making the little girl look up at her with a smile "Thanks Rosette"
"Now, we need someone who can show Aion around… who will it be?" the teacher asked and looked around the students. Aion smiled "I think I found someone" he said "How about this young lady down here?"
Rosette's eyes widened "Uhm… me?" she asked unsure.
Aion nodded "I would be very pleased if you would be my guide for today"
"Oh uhm… sure, why not?"
"Great" he smiled "Then we'll meet after class" then he found a seat and the teacher started the lesson.
AN: Hmm… I think I have found some ideas. I just hope I can continue like this -.-
