Thank you for reviewing!
(Erica. Normal P.O.V)
"Erica, you lazy bum! Get out of bed already! We're gonna be late for class!" Erica sighed as she rolled over onto her side and opened her eyes. Leo stood in front of her with her hands on her hips, giving Erica a serious look.
"What the hell do you want?" Erica asked in a grumble.
"I've been trying to wake you up for the past fifteen minutes. Sheesh, you're a heavy sleeper, aren't you?" Leo asked with a sigh.
Erica mumbled something that Leo couldn't quite understand as she watched her ravened hair friend sit up on her bed and rub her sleepy eyes.
"I don't want to go to class today. I don't feel so good." Erica said.
Leo blinked and eyed her friend with worry. She took a step forward and touched Erica's forehead with the back of her hand before pulling back.
"You don't seem to have a fever…" Leo said.
Erica heavily sighed as she lied back onto her bed and cuddled up in her covers.
"Alright, alright! I'm not sick; I just don't wanna go to class. It's my last day here so why can't I just skip it?" Erica muttered.
"Oh, I see why you're all upset now. It's because of what had happened to you and Yujiro last night. In fact…what happened between you two?" Leo questioned as she took a seat next to Erica.
"Nothing, it doesn't matter." Erica replied.
Leo raised a brow and continued to look at her friend with a questioning look. "C'mon, Erica! Aren't we friends?"
"Yeah, we're friends, but I really don't wanna talk about it…"
Leo sighed and rubbed her neck as she looked around the room. She was really concerned about Erica and what was going on. She wanted to help Erica out no matter what; she didn't want to see her first friend that she had made here all depressed.
Leo patted Erica's back and smiled. "You know…its better to talk about your problems than keeping them bottled up inside."
Erica slowly turned her head towards Leo and looked at her with a thoughtful look before she explained everything that had happened yesterday, even the meeting with Toru and Mikoto.
"And so that's what had happened yesterday." Erica said.
Leo blinked once, twice, and three times before she had fell onto the bed laughing.
"T-T-To-Toru a-and M-M-Miko-Mikoto ac-actually thou-tho-thought th-that y-you and I we-were da-dat-DATEING?!" Leo stuttered in between her laughs.
Erica sweat dropped. "It's not that funny, although I laughed a lot like you when I spoke to them…"
Leo's laughter finally died down as she sat up and looked at Erica.
"Well, did you tell them about me actually being a girl?" she asked.
"No, I didn't really know if you wanted me to tell them or not." Erica replied.
"Ehehehe, thank you," Leo grinned.
Erica smiled. "No problem."
Leo continued to smile back at Erica before she blinked and looked at the clock on the wall. She gaped at it for a moment before she scurried off the bed.
"Erica! Get dressed already! We're gonna be late!" Leo shouted as she grabbed her school supplies and quickly stuck them in her bag.
Erica gasped as she jumped up and ran into the bathroom grabbing her uniform.
"I blame you, Leo!" Erica shouted.
"HOW THE HELL IS IT MY FAULT?!" Leo asked.
"YOU MADE ME TELL YOU MY PROBLEMS! IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!" Erica replied.
"OH SHUT UP AND HURRY UP!"
(Eric. Normal P.O.V)
Both boys rushed into the classroom and leaned against the door. Luckily the teacher hadn't shown up yet, but all of the students did. When they saw Eric, almost all of them rushed to his side once again saying how much they will miss him and such. Eric gave them a small sad look at first; deciding to play around and they all loved it.
Leo sweat dropped as he watched the whole thing.
"Come on, retired Princess boy, let's go take our seats." Leo mumbled as he grabbed Eric's collar and dragged him off to his seat.
Eric sighed as he sat down, but then froze as he realized that he had a seat next to Yujiro. Eric slowly looked over only to see that Mikoto now sat in Yujiro's usual seat and that Yujiro sat on the other end.
"H-he…switched seats…?" Eric gasped. "So he really does hate me…"
"Eric? What's wrong?" Leo asked as he looked over to his friend concerned.
Eric swiftly turned his head away and looked at Leo with a reassuring smile.
"Nothing!" he replied cheerfully.
Leo didn't buy it once he saw Yujiro had changed seats. Leo shrugged and decided to play along and smile back at Eric.
Soon the teacher came and started the lesson. Eric payed more attention to his last lesson he would learn from this school, while Leo wrote down a note and secretly passed it over to Mikoto.
Mikoto blinked as something flicked at his head. He looked over at Leo who turned his head away. Then he looked down to the floor where a little piece of paper was. He picked it up and quietly opened it.
Mikoto,
I would like to meet you and Toru later on around dinner at the front gate. I want to discuss some things with you and him about Erica and Yujiro. I'm really worried about the two…so make sure that the two of you come, got it?
Peace out!
~Leo.
Mikoto glanced over at Leo who now paid no attention to Mikoto but instead the lesson. Mikoto shrugged as he passed the note over to Toru, without Yujiro seeing what they were doing.
Toru soon took the note and read it. He looked at Mikoto who looked back him before they both nodded, clarifying that they were both going to meet up with Leo that night.
(Later on)
Eric and Leo both walked out of the classroom and down the hall that lead to the dorms. The both had once again stayed behind in class to finish their homework. It was five in the afternoon and dinner time wasn't for another hour.
"So what do you want to do?" Leo asked as she folded her arms behind her back and walked next to Eric.
"I should probably do some laundry and packing. I'm leaving sometime in the morning." Eric said.
"What time?" Leo asked.
"I don't know, actually. I need to call my mom…" Eric mumbled as he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.
After a few rings the phone was picked up and a feminine voice spoke.
"Hello…?"
"Mom?" Eric said.
"Hunny? Oh! Hello there baby, what's up? You excited about tomorrow?" Eric's mother questioned.
Eric nervously chuckled. "Yeah mom, I'm real excited. I can't wait!"
Leo frowned.
"That's good. I am so happy that I can finally see my baby again! The twins are also very happy."
Eric smiled a tiny bit. "I'm…happy too."
"Anyway, is there anything you needed?"
"Yeah, I was wondering when you were going to come pick me up…?" Eric said.
"Oh, sometime around…nine in the morning, okay? Your father and the twins are coming too."
"Alright, thank you."
"See you tomorrow, hunny!"
"Yeah, bye." Eric said. He took the phone away from his ear and clicked the off button and sighed.
"So…? When are you leaving?" Leo asked.
"Nine," Eric replied as he stuck his cell phone back into his pocket and opened the door to his and Leo's dorm.
Both boys walked in and threw their book bags to the ground. Leo lazily sat in a chair as Eric started to grab his clothes.
"Want me to help?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to go throw these into the washer, can you get my stuff from the bathroom and put them on the bed?" Eric said.
Leo nodded his head and headed to the bathroom as Eric headed out of the dorm room and down the hall towards the washer machines.
Eric sighed as he turned the corner and continued to head down the hallway. He couldn't believe that he was actually leaving tomorrow. He didn't want to leave, he didn't want to fight with Yujiro and he didn't want to leave with Yujiro hating him.
But, it looked like Eric was out of luck.
"Eric?"
Eric blinked and turned his head.
"Akira?"
Akira smiled as he walked over and next to Eric. Akira also held a basket of clothes in his hands just like Eric did.
"Doing some laundry?" Akira said.
"Yeah, I gotta clean my clothes and pack." Eric replied.
"Ah, shall we do some laundry together?" Akira suggested.
Eric smiled. "Sure!"
(Leo. Normal P.O.V)
"Hm, this might be a good time to head out to the gate before Erica comes back and wonders where I went..." Leo thought as he jumped off the top bunk and walked to the door, opening it and walking out.
It was already turning six, so Leo knew that Toru and Mikoto would be there soon. After walking for a few minutes Leo came outside and stood by the gate. The cool evening air hit his skin, making the blonde shiver.
He waited and waited until the two finally came.
"Hey…you guys actually came." Leo grinned.
Toru spoke first. "Of course we came. We are worried about Erika and Yujiro too."
"Yeah!" Mikoto nodded.
"Good. Now, I need the both of you to tell me what Yujiro has been saying or whatever that has to do with Erica, lately." Leo said.
Both boys nodded and explained the situation to Leo who listened very carefully, wanting to hear every word they had to tell him.
"Okay…so that's it?" Leo asked.
Both boys nodded their heads as Leo went into deep thought.
"I'm…going to tell you two something, but don't tell anyone else." Leo said.
Toru and Mikoto both looked at each other with a slightly confused look before they looked back at Leo who now had his hand on his head, gripping his hair. Soon, his short hair fell down to the ground as long hair now took its place.
Toru and Mikoto gasped as Leo smirked at them.
"Well? Got anything to say?" Leo said.
"Wow, I didn't know you liked long hair, Leo." Toru said.
Leo sweat dropped. "I am a girl…dammit."
"You're a girl?!" Both of the boys coursed with shock.
"Yes, but keep it down a little, would ya!" Leo said.
"So…there really is nothing going on between you and Erica?" Mikoto asked.
"They could be lesbians…" Toru mumbled.
"We're not lesbians, Toru." Leo said rolling her eyes and grabbed her wig, placing it back on once her hair was tied up in a bun. She then switched back to boy version of Leo.
"Then doesn't this fix everything up? Let's go tell Yujiro!" Mikoto exclaimed as he was about to race off to the dorms, but a hand held back the poor boy who seemed quite excited.
"Huh? What's wrong, Leo?" Toru asked as he saw Leo pulling Mikoto back.
"Don't tell Yujiro." Leo simply said.
"Why?" Both boys asked.
"It would mess up everything way more than it already is." Leo replied.
"How is that? I mean, wouldn't Yujiro be happy that Erica isn't involved with you?" Mikoto questioned.
Leo sighed and shook his head. "I doubt it. He would probably get even more mad at Erica for her keeping this a secret from him."
"That's true…" Toru mumbled.
"And then it would cause another fight." Mikoto said sadly.
"That's right." Leo nodded.
"So, what do we do?" Toru asked as he glanced at Leo.
"Well, tomorrow Erica is leaving at nine in the morning, so you three need to skip your classes. And before nine, we're going to bring Yujiro to the dorm room and make them talk it out and then Erica will stay and they can get to together!" Leo said.
"Do you really think it'll work? Just by talking it out? What if it causes another fight?" Toru asked.
"Then the three of us will step in and stop them and try to help out." Leo replied.
"But, won't Yujiro be wondering why we want him to skip class and go to some dorm room?" Mikoto questioned.
Leo shrugged. "You two will just have to come up with something."
"Thanks for the help…" Both boys sarcastically mumbled.
"Anyway, remember, before nine tomorrow morning. Don't be late!" Leo said as he stalked off into the dormitory.
(Eric. Normal P.O.V)
"Bye, Akira." Eric spoke.
"It was nice meeting you and everything. Bye," Akira said waving as he left around the corner.
Eric sighed and opened the door to the dorm and dropped the basket of clothes onto the ground and closed the door behind himself.
"You're back!" Leo happily said as he sat up on the bed and grinned at Eric.
"Yeah, I'm back." Eric smiled.
"Want me to help you pack?" Leo asked.
"Nah, I'll do it myself." Eric assured his blonde friend as he grabbed his suit case out of the closet and opened it.
"Alright then…" Leo mumbled as he watched his friend pack his clothes and other stuff.
For the rest of the night, Leo watched at Eric packed up whatever he had until he had fallen asleep and not too much later when Eric was done packing, he fell asleep on his bed as well.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I tried my best to make it good.
Anyway, next is the last chapter and then the Epilogue, so stay tuned for those two chapters.
