Walking slowly towards my first class I let out a small sigh, the bell had rung once again. "Great I'm late." For that matter I honestly didn't care how late I was, that was the old me. Always worrying about getting a tardy, always freaking out that I won't meet peoples expectations of me.
Walking towards the door my hand trembles, placing my hand on the knob twisting the door slowly. "Why are you so nervous?" I ask myself out loud, gulping softly I open the door, as the rest of my classmates turn towards the door and stare at the distraction of their lesson.
The teacher just looks at me and speaks in a soft, sincere voice. "Are you Allen Walker?" I nod gently, "You know you're late right?" Once more I nod. Like I really care? Asking myself. "Well just take a seat in the front and everyone welcome our new friend." she smiled at me, and I deep down inside just wanted to hide in a corner.
Instead, I flashed my signature smile. Walking towards the newly assigned seat for me. Without noticing someone was staring at me in shock, I looked around staring at the people around me when my eyes met with someone so familiar.
"No.."
"No way.."
We both mouthed out, how could life be so cruel and make me have the same class as the one who put me in the hospital. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever, until the teacher called on the male. "Lavi Bookman, would you like to read the passage?"
"Y-Yes ma'am.." he stuttered, once more looking at me, as I looked down, not letting him catch the weird nervous feeling in me.
While the redhead read something from the book I stared down at the desk, the question kept running through my mind, why of all people? Oh why merciless God, would you do this to me once more? Placing my head on my book bag as I closed my eyes wanting this day to already end.
Almost in a daze I get interrupted, "No sleeping in class Mister Walker." I groan quietly as I lift my head up, "What exactly am I supposed to do in this class miss?"
"Well you need to get a book, called The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, have you heard of it?"
I nod, "Yeah, the story where the women commits adultery right? Having to wear that infamous "A" on her clothing?" The teacher smiles at me once more, "Great so you have heard of it. Well we are reading this book for this class. So please go to the textbook room and you shall get yourself one okay?"
I smile back at her, "Of course ma'am, but for now what shall I do?"
She just stares at me for a while before handing me some papers, "Well why not pass these out to everyone, and you'll need to make up some work okay?" I grasp onto the papers as she hands me the seating chart, she wouldn't expect me to know any of these people right? Hell I don't even know half of these people.
I get up from my seat and begin to pass out the papers, some of the students looking at me in complete amazement as a shy girl looked at me, blushing slightly as she lightly tugged on my sleeve. "E-excuse me?" I looked at her, she looked tiny in her seat, her blond hair flowing everywhere, and it looked as if she was hiding her left eye with some bandages.
"Yes?" I tilt my head towards the side, as I hand the female her paper, She looks straight into my eyes and smiles softly, "Is that your natural hair color?" I blink, what a random question, however I nod and smile softly at the girl, "Yes it is. Caused by trauma." I mutter as I walk past her table. Handing everyone their paper's back, while having someone give Lavi his. Before sitting down once more.
10 more minutes until I am out of this class. I look up at the people in my table.
I learned their names, Chaoji Han, a shy guy who just didn't know how to keep a conversation as he kept looking around the class room. The other person was a girl, she had two braids, in her hair and glasses, I believe her name was Lou Fa.
The interrogation began, mostly by Lou as Chaoji looked around once more, not interested as it seemed.
"What's your name?"
"Allen Walker."
"Cute name," she giggled "Are you new to this school?"
I shook my head, "No I used to go here last year."
"Then why were you not signed in to this class before?"
I shrug lightly, "I don't know but I am here now I guess."
And here came the questions about my looks,
"Is that your natural hair color?"
"Yeah."
"Why are you dressed like that it must be like 100 degrees outside."
My gaze looks at the clock, just a few more seconds, I have to stall this chick, before she wants to look into my personal life.
"Well?" she asks once more,
I open my mouth and before a word can come out the bell rings. Saved by the bell! I smile wide as I quickly bolt out of the door, being the first person out of my class without looking I bump into someone.
"I-I'm so sorry!" I exclaim as a light tint of crimson flush across my cheeks, before looking up at who I crash into.
"Allen?" I blink multiple times before realizing who I hit. It was none other than Lavi. How the hell did he get out of the class before I did? I gulp softly and look at the classroom. Two doors? I should really examine where I am going more often.
He held his hand out offering to help me up as I shake my head, quickly standing up and picking the bag that I had dropped from my shoulder. "No thank you." I huffed out dusting my pants off before I start walking away, without knowing the redhead grasps onto my hand.
"What do you want Lavi? I have nothing to say to you."
He stares at me without saying anything, "I heard a rumor about you."
I shrug slightly, without responding to anything he is saying I just want to go meet up with Road. Why won't he just let me go? I squirm my hand slightly, trying to get free from his grasp. "I want to confirm something." and with those words piercing at my thoughts he quickly lifts my sleeve up, exposing the wounds that were starting to heal.
"So it was true.." I looked away, catching the red head off his guard I pulled my arm away and ran straight through the hall-way.
Knowing he wasn't following me, I hide next to one of the trashcans, panting softly. Rubbing the wound gently before sliding myself up. Walking towards the table where I knew my friend Road would be.
Once there I sat quietly next to Road, she was blabbering on about how horrid her class was, and all I could do was nod and act like I was interested in what she was saying. Stuffing my mouth with some chocolate muffin the female had given me.
I looked straight, noticing a very nosy red head, linked arm in arm with a female who had pink hair. "Clearly dyed." I muttered softly, as she couldn't keep her gaze off of Lavi. It seemed as if her eyes were sparkling at the read head.
Road noticed were my gaze was as she let out a small sigh, "Him and her again?" I turned quickly to what she had said, "What do you mean Road?" I asked, some what interested in what was happening.
"That's Chomesuke.." she paused, looking at the two once more, "She's very obnoxious, and wanting everyone to know…." once more a silent pause, as if she didn't want me to find out something.
"That Lavi is her man."
I swallowed the muffin hard as I stared at the apparently new found couple. "Is that so?" For some reason I couldn't believe it,
"Don't be sad Allen." Road spoke to me softly, I looked at her with a half-hearted smile, "Why would I be sad Road-chan?"
I wasn't sad to say the least, actually deep down I wanted to laugh, but I wasn't going to, because then Road would have thought I lost it.
Maybe I actually had lost it? Maybe I deserve to be locked away for ever.
Before I could stand up and throw my trash away, the pink-haired female glared at me, making me feel a bit to uneasy. She cleared her throat and spoke out loud, "OH LAVI~ YOU'RE THE GREATEST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD!~" It seemed as if she was redirecting it to me.
I rolled my eyes and stood up, "Where are you going Allen?" Road's golden eye's examined my face, trying to look for an answer on her own.
I grinned at the small female, "Don't worry Road, I'm not going to run away from this anymore."
She just nodded and watched as I threw my trash away, the red head had noticed I was at the table and put it all together why Chomesuke was being obnoxiously loud. His smile turned into a frown quickly.
Whether or not he was upset that his newly found girlfriend or the fact that I was wearing a smile on my lips the whole time passing by them. The girl was over-protective of her 'man', apparently she had heard secrets of Lavi and I. Though I didn't care. I was happy. Truly happy, walking towards my friend, Road. Sitting right beside her with both smile at each other.
We were just friends. And that's how it was supposed to be. Road and I were completely happy as friends.
