Hi, this is a collaboration with imaginebelieve, so the story is the same with the chapter in Colours of Our Hairs, just different POV.
Yep, enjoy the story and yeah, thanks for all the review as well!

Gwen
It's been a month since the school reopens, since Allen and I officially become a couple. Well, because of his confession that had successfully attracted a lot of attraction, our names become well-known throughout the whole school, especially the first years (even though some of them only know me as the student council's president's girlfriend).
It's very embarrassing, really. There's even a picture of the two of us kissing in front of the school in Seishun Flash (That journalist girl, Tina, apparently was there and she took a picture of it).
Since that day, Reine has become noticably quieter. At first, I thought it's because she's tired from all the trainings she has to complete before the Karate tournament. However, I realise soon enough, that it is not the only reason. During dinner and even in the room, she has become very quiet.
Until today...
Today is the day of the Karate tournament. I can't go there since the match started since the morning and I still have to attend lesson (even though I end up staying in the infirmary again the whole day). So, I wait patiently for her to come back in the evening.
The door bell rings and I open the door to see Reine, crutches on both hands, bandage on left leg. Oh, she must have pushed herself too hard. Nevertheless, she has an ear to ear smile, something that I rarely see since... I don't even remember actually. I guess, I was too caught up in my own problem at that time.
"Oh, Gwen, before Seishun Flash put it on, I'll just tell you." She suddenly says.
"What?"
"I'm dating Neil."
"Are you serious?" I ask back instinctively.
That Neil Forrester? Isn't he the school's delinquent? Allen has told me about him as well. I guess, Reine is just that kind of girl who doesn't care about it. But...
I guess, I have to make sure that Neil Forrester won't do anything to my sister.
Allen
As third year now, the class is focusing on revision of all the subjects for the upcoming national examination. Because of this, I am not able to spend more time with Gwen. It's not that I can't catch up with the revision, but there is so called boring and long-winded additional classes that are compulsory.
I do feel very blessed, to be able to have Gwen as my girlfriend now. Before, I never thought of it, having girlfriend(s) or whatsoever. Yet, after I met Gwen, everything just changes.
It's early in the morning; I've just settled myself on my seat when I see a familiar figure on the hallway.
I quickly stand up and get out of the classroom, "Gwen? What are you doing here?"
Gwen looks at me, her eyes shows fear and anger at the same time. That's when I realise, she's not alone. Beside her, stands another familiar figure: blond hair, violet eyes. It's the school's delinquent, Neil Forrester.
"What are you doing to her?" I growl.
"How about you yourself?" he asks her, "Do you know what kind of guy your boyfriend really is?"
Damn it, does he... know about it? He's ignoring me. I'm about to go to him when I hear a loud voice.
"Allen Rosencrantz!"
I turn at the direction of the voice, it's Gwen's pink-haired sister. Somewhat, she's hopping desperately to my direction. She shrugged Forrester out of her way and point directly at me.
"I have a business with this guy!" she says, staring at me intensely.
"I heard… unpleasant things about you." She continues, before looking away at her sister for a while and stares at me again, "Did you… really…"
Shit. She heard about it as well and I thought I have did my best so there'll be no rumour whatsoever.
Gwen
Shoot, where does she heard about it from?
"Who Allen is… is none of your business," I quickly interject.
"It's not mine until he is dating you!" she raises her voice. "I don't want you to be his other prey!"
"I'm not his prey!" I raise my voice, unable to hold it anymore, "At least he is better than a blond who keeps getting into fights with gangster!"
"What did you say?!" she shouts in fury.
"Reine, I'm sure Allen can explain this," the other blond guy, who has been standing beside Neil Forrester the whole time. Oh, yeah, I think Allen once told me about him, Rod Braxton, Allen's childhood friend.
"He better does." she growls.
"I have nothing to say." Allen replies calmly.
"You don't know what he's gone through." I back him up.
"So you know what Neil has gone through?!" she ask back. "Do you need me to force you? I don't have raisin boxes, but I still have my fist."
I see her clenching her fist. Shoot, if it continues like this, she will definitely hit Allen. Knowing what probably will happen next, I quickly jump in between Allen and Reine, trying to block her fist.
Allen
Everything happens so quickly.
"Shit!" the sister shouts and Gwen falls to the ground.
Her hands holding onto her left cheek that was hit and I can see bead of tears on her face.
Again, I feel something just snaps inside of me.
I quickly grab her collar tightly and raise her from the ground. Soon, I feel someone grabs my wrist, exerting a strong force on it. Neil Forrester... He's glaring at me. I glare back at him, "I won't let anyone who harms my girlfriend gets away with it. And that includes her twin."
The pressure around my wrist is increased, prompting me to let go of the girl.
"And do you think I will let you get away with harming my girlfriend?" he growls.
I clench my fist, preparing to take him head on. I know this is not a good idea, since compared to me, he must be pro at fighting. Nevertheless, I won't back down if it's for Gwen.
Suddenly, I feel Rod grabbing my wrist strongly. I can see that he's grabbing Forrester's wrist with the other hand.
"Guys," he says, "Don't you think your priorities should be your girlfriends?"
Dang it, he's right. I was too angry that I forget that Gwen's well being should be my first priority.
Forrester lets go of my hand, Rod as well, and I quickly go to Gwen and crouches down. She's still holding on to her left cheek which is now red and a bit swollen, sobbing at the same time.
"Let's get you treated, princess," I whisper softly before lifting her up from the ground.
What will happen next? Stay tune! R&R
