"Tyki?"

"Close your mouth Allen, you're going to catch a fly."

I closed my jaw dropped mouth and blinked. I stared blankly at the man who sat on the principal's chair, whose feet was resting on the desk.

"Don't tell me that you're my principal?"

To tell you the truth, I never really knew who the principal was. He was rather mysterious.

Tyki slightly frowned, "No, my foster father is."

My mouth gapped again in astonishment, "Wait, are you telling me that Rhode and Jasdebi, not by blood, are related to the principal of this very school?"

"Yup."

"So what are you doing here?"

"I'm helping Pops of course."

I then noticed that Tyki wasn't wearing his usual fancy clothing. He wore a loosely green shirt with a pair of faded jeans. His hair was not tied up either. Just then the door opened. A woman, the secretary I suppose, came in with loads full of papers in her arms. When she spotted Tyki, her face immediately turned bright red. Ah, pity the poor woman who has fallen victim of Tyki's good looks. *roll eyes *

"U-um, is M-M-Mr. E-Earl h-h-here?" stuttered the lady.

Tyki averted his gaze from me to the lady, looking at her with bored eyes.

"No, he's out right now. Is there something that you need to give him?"

"Y-y-yes, u-um, h-here," she was shaking the whole time as she carefully handed him the papers. Then she shot out of the room.

I turned and looked at Tyki dully, he just smiled innocently and shrugged his shoulders.

"Makes me wonder when my hormones will kick in." I stated monotonously.

"Maybe you're a guy."

"No, if I was then I would have-have a woo woo."

"A woo woo?"

"A ball."

Before Tyki could give me an odd look, the door was kicked open. There stood before the doorway was a seriously fat guy! He was bigger than Mr. Takk! He wore a suit, tiny glasses, and a top hat.

"Hello Tyki, have you finished your work?" the man asked in a deep jolly voice.

"Sure thing Pops."

Pops? Is this Mr. Earl?

"Good, ah, now who is this?" the man turned to look at me. I mentally shivered at the strange stare that this guy was giving me.

"Oh this? This is Allen Walker, the girl who you wanted to see?" Tyki answered.

"This is Allen? I would have expected her to be-"

"Don't finish that sentence Pops." Tyki warned.

I sighed. Maybe Mr. Earl was expecting someone with a girly face, someone with curves and whose growth hormones have already kicked in. Not a guy looking girl who has white hair and a seriously flat chest, or a scar for that matter.

"Okay, well thank you for your help Tyki. You may go now."

"Fine," then Tyki wrapped his arms around me, bringing me to a tight hug.

"Bye Ally!" Tyki whispered into my ear, then left.

I just stared at the closed door stunned, when did Tyki ever hug me a good bye? Then I heard chuckles from the principal.

"Heh, I never seen Tyki so attached to someone else other than his family before." Mr. Earl stated.

"Well we are friends after all."

"Nope, I see something more than friendship between you two."

I tilted my head in confusion. Tyki thinks of me more than a friend? Does he think of me as a sister or something? Then Mr. Earl bounced to his chair and sat down.

"Erm, so Mr. Earl, what was it that you wanted from me? Did I do anything bad?" I asked.

"Oh no,no,no! Allen, you actually did something quite the opposite!"

"…Then what did I do?"

"Well, thanks to your grades, you just made our school in 4th place in academics!"

"Okay…"

"And since I see that you are basically the smartest student here, I decided to send you to 11th grade!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"WHAT!" I nearly yelled.

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"S-shouldn't I be go one grade up instead of two? I-I-I mean-"

"No, no! Besides, I would have figured out that you have passed through 10th grade easily!" Mr. Earl interrupted.

I wasn't sure whether this would be good news or not. Considering that Mana would be really proud of me while he's up in heaven and that I would spend more time with Daisya. But the problem with that is that the teasing would increase and I would be in the same grade as Lavi. Hopefully I won't be in the same grade as the Bookman.

"Okay," I sighed, "when am I going to switch my classes?"

"Tomorrow!"

"TOMORROW!" Rhode screamed, causing the entire population inside the cafeteria to turn their attention to Rhode.

"Shush Rhode!" I hissed.

I was in the cafeteria right now, after having that conversation with the principal the bell rang for lunch. I told Daisya and Rhode about my good/bad news. Apparently Rhode took this as a bad news and Daisya took this as good news.

"Allen! You shouldn't let Daddy do that to you! What are you going to do without me!" Rhode whined.

"You mean what are you going to do without me." I said.

"Well this is great Al! Now we get to spend more time together!" Daisya exclaimed.

"This isn't so great for ME Daisy!" Rhode spat, using the nickname that she have given to Daisya.

"IT'S NOT DAISY YOU BRAT! IT'S DAISY-A!"

"You guys." I groaned, the fight between freshman and junior has started already. Then my tray of food fell onto the floor.

"Didn't your parents ever taught you how to eat freak?" sneered Ashley, the one who pushed my food onto the floor. Her friends laughed in the background.

"Leave her alone Ashley!" growled Daisya, tearing his argument from Rhode to her.

"Whatever hat freak," she retorted, then trailed off with her friends tagging along. Daisya just sulked in his nonexistent emo corner.

"My food!" I whimpered. MY PRECIOUS FOOD! GONE!

"Whoa, you all right Ally?" Rhode asked, using the nickname that Tyki usually calls me.

"No, my food is gone!" I sniffed, I stared at the mess on the ground.

"Come on Al, just because someone pushed your food onto the floor doesn't mean the world's going to end." Daisya said.

"Well not for you!"

"Yo tomboy, what's up with you and Ashley? I thought that you guys only fight on Saturdays." Debitto said. He and Jasdero were walking towards our table with their trays of food.

"She knocked over my food," I whimpered.

"…Jeez, you're such a wimp when it comes to food, ya know that tomboy?"

"HEEHEE! WIMP!" Jasdero chimed in.

Then Rhode smacked them both behind the head.

"OWW!" they said in unison.

"Don't hurt Ally's feelings today! Something bad happened to her!"

"About the Ashley thing?"

"No, even worse! Do you remember when the speaker called for her to come over to the office?"

"Yeah! Jeez, I was like shocked man! Who knew that tomboy was a bad girl?"

"HEEHEEHEE! A bad girl!" Jasdero giggled.

"Well you'll never guess what happened!"

"I'm going to get more food." I quickly said, I rushed out of my seat and to the lunch counter.

When I was about a yard away from my table, I heard a "WHAT THE HELL!" Curse Rhode and her tendency of spilling out things. I skipped over to the counter where the line has disappeared since other students have already made their orders.

"Oh, Nella! Did you come for seconds again?" Jerry asked, he held a pan and spatula.

"Uh, yeah, you guessed it! The usual, please Jerry?" I said while smiling sheepishly.

"Fine, but no more extra heapings for you young lady!"

Then Jerry disappeared into the kitchen, as I waited for my food to arrive I heard a familiar voice.

"Bean sprout?"

I turned and saw Lavi's friend, Yuu Kanda.

"Gah! You're that long haired freak from the park yesterday!" I said while pointing accusingly at him.

Kanda just glared at me and swatted my hand away, "What did you just call me bean sprout?"

"My name isn't bean spout, it's Allen!" I scoffed.

"Like I give a damn."

"Gosh, looks like someone's got cramps today," I stated monotonously.

"Shut your pipe hole bean sprout, or I'll do it for you."

"It's Allen, arse holed Kanda!"

Kanda raised his brow, he averted his eyes back to me.

"How do you know my name? Wait, I don't need to know, the whole population in school would likely already know who the hell I am."

"Would you keep your disgusting ego to yourself. I know your name because that red haired weirdo that you call 'friend' told me that. Jeepers," I explained, while rolling my eyes.

"Lavi actually talked to someone else besides me and Lenalee?"

Just then Jerry popped up, "Sorry Nella! Could you wait for a minute honey? We got some problems with the stove."

"Sure thing Jerry," I said, then he was gone.

"'Nella'? I thought that you're name was Allen, bean sprout." Kanda asked.

"It is pony tail," I retorted, receiving a glare, "Jerry just calls me Nella because he thinks that Allen isn't an appropriate name for a girl."

Then Kanda had the most shocked expression ever, it was completely priceless!

"You're a girl?"

"Yeah, I am." I answered.

"Che, you could have fooled Einstein."

"If I could have fooled him, then how in the world did Lavi figured out that I was a girl in his first try?" I countered.

"Like I care, now move so I can make my order."

"Lets face it, you're just too stupid to figure out things," I said while shrugging.

"What did you say bean sprout!"

"Nella! Your food is here!" Jerry called out, my food was sitting on the counter.

I gradually took them, before I could go back to my table I noticed that Kanda was stupefied.

"You're going to eat all of that?" he asked.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it," I replied back.

"Che, you're a glutton for a small bean sprout."

I scowled, "Stupid Japanese jerk," I mumbled.

"British bean sprout." Kanda mumbled back.

"Hey, I'm still growing you know!"

"Well it appears to me that you're not getting anywhere,"

I glowered at him as he smirked. Then I trudged away to my table. When I got there Rhode gawked at me with envy. I then felt as if the whole cafeteria was staring at me, or glaring.

"What?" I choked out.

"Y-you talked to Yuu Kanda, more than ten seconds!" Rhode sputtered.

"And so?"

"So it means that you actually had a conversation with the school's number one hottie!"

"…What happened to Lavi?"

"Oh, he's a hottie too. I mean, Kanda and Lavi are basically equal, there's been a fight about which guy is hotter."

"Damn it Rhode! Keep your fan girl squeals to yourself, will ya?" Debitto rasped.

"You're the one to talk! I mean, you could have been school's number 2 hottie! But nooooo, you decided to go emo instead!"

"Like I want fan girls to chase me all day!"

I sighed and shoved food onto my mouth. Today has been a loooooonnngg day!

"You know, there has been an increase in crushes for Debitto." Daisya interrupted.

All of us gawked in surprise.

"How do you know that?" I questioned.

"Well, I heard all these girls yapping about guys and stuff and I overheard them say that there has been more girls crushing on Debitto."

"You mean eavesdropping."

"No, Al, I mean overheard. Eavesdropping would mean that I purposely heard their conversation, but I did not."

"But still-"

"Would you guys just shut the hell up!" Debitto and Rhode spat in unison.

"So Debitto, who do you like?" Daisya asked as he plopped his chin on his palm.

"Whoa, that was random," I said.

"Yes Debitto," Rhode chimed in, obvious that she was interested, "who do you like?"

"Why would I like the bitches here? They're all a bunch of whores." He snorted.

"Ouch, that hurts," I sarcastically said, while rolling my eyes.

"Did you just call me a bitch!" Rhode shouted.

"Whoa, easy there, I'm sure that he didn't mean by that." Daisya said.

"Shut it Daisy!" Rhode yelled.

"IT'S DAISYA!"

"Is it me or is Jasdero being really quiet?" I whispered to Debitto.

"The guy's sleeping nitwit."

I peered over and saw that Jasdero was lying on the bench snoring, there was a string of drool sliding down the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, he's drooling," I stated, I grabbed a napkin and wiped the drool off.

"What the hell are you doing tomboy?" Debitto asked, he looked rather irritated.

"Wiping the drool off, why?"

"Nothing," he muttered.

Then I noticed that a smear of tomato sauce was on his cheek.

"You got something on your face." I said, pointing to the smear.

"Huh? Where?"

Debitto desperately tried to wipe it off with his hands, but no success. I licked the end of the napkin and wiped the sauce off. Debitto's eyes grew wide, then his face grew pink.

I blinked, "Debitto, do you have a cold or something? You're face is all red."

I moved closer to him, placing my hand over his forehead, then his face grew ever redder.

"N-nothing tomboy," he then swatted my hand away.

Rhode and Daisya stopped their argument, a sly smirk were plastered on their faces.

"What?" we said in unison.

"Aww! Now I know who Debby likes now!" Rhode said in a singing voice.

"What a nice couple, don't you think Rhode?" asked Daisya.

I cocked my head, what couple are they talking about?

"W-what are you guys shitting about?" Debitto barked, the blush not leaving its place.

"Something to do with a couple?" I asked, deeply confused. What the heck are they jabbering about?

"Don't deny it Debitto! It's true love there!" Rhode said, while adding a giggle.

"You guys are fucking messing with my head, I'm going to the bathroom!" Debitto then stalked away.

"Seriously guys, what did you say to make Debitto so mad?" I asked.

They looked at me with an awed look, then shook their head in disappointment.

"Really Al, you can be so oblivious to love sometimes," Daisya said.

"Huh?" I cocked my head even further.

"Mmmm, sushi!" Jasdero mumbled.

We all stared at the sleeping blond, now THAT was random!

"Oh, by the way Daisya, what happened to your bet with Lavi? Are you not going to buy his food?" I asked.

"Oh that, well some reason Lavi told me that the bet's off and that I'm free to go right before lunch." Daisya said, scratching the back of his head.

"Well…that's rather odd."

"I wonder what made Lavi stop the bet?" Rhode pondered.

We shrugged in defeat and continued to eat our lunch, while I received many envious glares from certain fan girls.
