Chapter 10: The dance

I kneel in front of Lenalee, and held her hand. Her face was red,as we stood in front of the court yard of the school. I could feel her heart beat, and some students stop and stare at us. I took a deep breath in. "Would you go to the dance with me?"

...

A few hours before

I sat at the back of the auto shop supposedly reorganizing engine parts, but since the boss is up in the front, and Link is reorganizing another section. I sat back here Rereading the book I found in the library a week ago.

I bit my lip, the book told me a lot about a history that may or may not have happen. But even so I believed what was written in the book, and I knew I needed to stop the Noahs, and the akumas, but I didn't know who or where the Noahs are, and I could guess the nurse were Akuma, but the thought of having to destroy one of the nurse made me feel sick. What if I was wrong, and the nurse was something else out of the original, there blood would be on my hand.

I glance at my hands, remember when Lenalee, Lavi, and the other blood were actually there. It was still hard to believe it was just a dream, but as long as Lenalee and Lavi was still here I would probably believe anything.

"What are you doing Miss Walker." Link said in a monotone voice. "Your suppose to be organizing the shelf, you don't get pay standing around."

"I'll get right on it sempai." I said putting the book in my shirt quickly, and starting to work. Once Link was convinced that I would continue working once he left, he did, but I knew he was close by.

After finishing another 2 sections, and Link making redo a shelf when I got some parts mix up. Mr. Rogers let me go home.

"Hey." I heard Lavi call as I walked out of the auto shop. He stood against the walk giving me 'I want something' smile.

"Hi." I grimace, giving him a smile that said tell me 'what you want'.

"Well I just wanted to inform you of an event that was announced after you left."

"Another game." I said grimacing even more.

"No, we're having a ball." He said excitedly.

"I sometimes wish you were a straight forward person." I said simple and Lavi laughed.

"Fine, I want you to ask Lenalee to the dance for me so I won't be kill by her brother."

"When is the dance."

"Tonight."

"That not cutting it close."

"Well it is a boarding school, plus there was already a rumor of one coming up so most students are ready."

"I don't really..."

"Allen please, I just need you to as her publicly. I already ask her to the dance, but so her brother won't suspect or any other guys try can you please ask her. Please." Lavi said batting his eyes.

I look back at the auto shop for no reason. Turning back to Lavi i nodded my head. "Fine I'll do it but you'll owe me."

So now as I kneel in front of Lenalee awaiting for her answer I had second thoughts about it, but whatever it was already to late.

Lenalee nodded her head. "I love to go with you Allen." She said laughing a little. Standing up I hug her.

"You know it would of been so embarrassing if you had said no." I whisper in her ear, and she laughed, and walk back to our room together.

"I'll have to thank you by taking out to eat." Lenalee said looking at her clothing in her closet. "Do you need to borrow a dress?"

"No." I said as I watch her from were I sat on my bed, eating my stash popcorn. "I have a suit." I said simple, and Lenalee turn towards me.

"Allen you know your a girl."

"Yes, I known since I was 10."

"That not funny."

"That not a fact."

"Really Allen don't you want to feel pretty." Lenalee said stepping closer towards me. I stuff my mouth with popcorn.

"I prefer comfort over being pretty, but thank for your concern, I'll be find." I said putting my bag of popcorn down, and sliding off my bed.

"Well I'll put a dress on you again one of these days." Lenalee said and I laughed as I walk to my closet and pull out the cheap suit Cross got me when I was 14.

It was tighter then it was when I 14, and mostly in the chest area. Grumbling to myself about how I didn't even want to go to the ball. I turned around to see Lenalee staring at me, with a dress in her hand.

"It looks a little tight." She said practically singing it.

"It find." I growled.
