Once Ashley was able to get Nicky to calm down and finally be able to speak normally. She sighed roughly and aggregately after hearing what the problem was.
"Can't his highness learn the meaning of no?" Ashley asked sighing Nicky shook her head
"I know it's stupid and the whole reason my Grandmother wants me to get back together with him is because his Father's a duke." Nicky groaned to her best friend
You see the problem was Dean Milarhigh, Nicky had spent the summer in the country side of France last year and they went out for a while then Nicky broke up with him. Of course eventually all the Juliets knew about him because of the gifts sent to Nicky over the rest of the summer before school that was supposed to get her back for him. But of course Nicky always sent the gifts back.
Then a few days before school started Dean actually went to Nicky's house in person and that's where the problem begins to become more shall we say… complex.
Ashley had been visiting Nicky at the time and Nicky panicked and said that Ashley who had calmly caught on to the game then said she was Hayate, was Nicky's boyfriend that lived here. Nicky lied that she had a fight with Ashley (Hayate) before she left for France and that's why she hooked up with him to in a way get back at Ashley (Hayate). But they made up and forgave each other.
"Why couldn't you just say you just don't like him?" Ashley questioned running her fingers though her hair
"I tried!" Exclaimed Nicky throwing her arms in the air to make a point "he thinks just because he's 43 people away from the throne that no girl will be able to resist him!" She shouted while Ashley scoffed after hearing the last part
"Funny I thought a donkey's ass was more attractive than him. Anyway why did you even hook up with him away?" Ashley said while Nicky grinned sheepishly
"I was bored" She said sheepishly
"Of course."
Just then Hayate opened up the club door carrying some books under his arm
"Oh hi Ashley, Hi Nicky." He greeted smiling while the two girls looked at each other
"Sit down." They demanded closing in on Hayate
Once they explained what happened and told Hayate what it had to do with him. Let's just say he wasn't too happy about it.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!" Hayate shouted while Nicky hid behind Ashley who was unaffected by Hayate's rage
"Sit down Hayate." Demanded Ashley with a piercing gaze making Hayate shrink down back to size "Now you are going to pose as Nicky's boyfriend and tell this moron to back the hell off." Ashley stated while Hayate looked at her questionably
"Why can't you do it?" Asked Hayate annoyed
"Because when he demands for Hayate Unison everyone's going to lead him to you. And besides I just don't feel like doing work I can make others do for me." Ashley said calmly making Hayate fume
"You owe me big time." He hissed but Ashley's piercing glare made him calm down once more
"I owe you nothing." Snapped Ashley irritated at Hayate's temper flaring up
Once Lil, Yuki and Tasia had finished talking to Mori's little brother whom they came to know as Satoshi. Lil couldn't stop talking about him.
They headed into the club room while Lil jumped and spun around
"Mori's little brother is so cute!" She shouted making Ashley, Nicky, and Hayate sweat drop
"Mori has a little brother?" Asked Nicky blinking owlishly
"Yes and Lil won't stop talking about him." Snapped Yuki while Tasia nodded to confirm the question about Mori having a little brother
"Satoshi-san is very nice, but he talks a lot like Lil though." Tasia said smiling amused by these turn of events
"And I care why?" Ashley asked making Hayate whack her on the back of the head
"Now little cousin dear please remember your manners." Hayate said cynically leaning on her shoulder
"You really are asking for a death wish aren't you?" Ashley asked turning to Hayate
"You're forgetting that I'm a Unison too!" Shouted Hayate "And you know I hate it when people volunteer me for stuff I didn't want to do!" Shouted Hayate making Nicky tear up a bit
"So even if you where there you wouldn't want to be my boyfriend never the less pose as one?" Asked Nicky upset making Hayate freeze
"That's cold Hayate." Ashley said glaring at her cousin
"That's not what I meant at all!" Shouted Hayate panicking "Please don't cry Nicky!" he shouted nervously but his words didn't change a thing because Nicky started crying rivers of tears
Ashley who was standing near Nicky calmly pulled an umbrella out of nowhere and opened it up to keep herself dry
"Wow," Was all Yuki and Tasia could say
"Satoshi's so cute!" Coed Lil hugging a pillow on the couch
"Idiot." Deadpanned Yuki and Ashley at the same time while Tasia sweat dropped at Lil's reaction
Well in short Hayate managed to calm Nicky down and agreed to pretend to be boyfriend. As long as she didn't cry again.
Ashley soon walked out of the club room not wanting to hear anymore of Nicky's rants
And as soon as she closed the door behind her she found herself face to face with Kyouya
"Um…" Kyouya started uneasily his face heavy with guilt and worry "Is Lizzy a-alright?" He asked almost afraid of letting those words leave his mouth
Ashley blinked then realization dawned on her, he felt guilty and he was worried about Lizzy.
"She's fine," Ashley said passively as if it where nothing because well to be honest Lizzy wasn't burnt as bad as Kyouya thought.
Kyouya's face lifted with relief
"Good." He said going back into character "oh and by the way Unison-san, if you tell Lizzy about this I'll tell everyone about your sister." Kyouya said turning around and walking off
"You're a bastard you know that." Ashley said calmly not even bothered by Kyouya's threat
Kyouya only chuckled at these words but kept walking anyway.
Ashley walked down the hallway a bit different way than what Kyouya went. Ashley closed her eyes as she stopped near the window in the hallway taking in the sunlight.
Ashley then heard someone running she turned around and saw Keykie running
"A-Ashley!" Shouted Keykie with a red face from running
"Hn?" She asked turning around fully to her shy little friend only to be caught in a hug "What the…?" She asked
"O-oh right um… Hello!" Keykie said pulling away as if she leant something about Ashley and wanted to tell her but couldn't
"What is it hug Ashley day?" Ashley joked in monotone with a small stand of questioning humor in her voice
Keykie giggled
"No it's hug Otuo day!" Joked Keykie making Ashley's eye twitch
"Please for the love of everything that is good don't call me that." She pleaded half heartedly only to make Keykie giggle even more
"Well I'm going to the club room!" Keykie said before running off
"What the hell is up with everyone?" Ashley asked annoyed it was irritating to put up with this teenaged drama
Boys, crushes, misadventures (namely caused by Nicky), confessions, angst.
Really, sometimes she felt like she was in some stupid show about that kind of stuff.
Ashley shook her head
"Like cliché plot lines and shallow drama, so are the teenagers of our lives." She joked dryly shoving her hands into her pockets and walking off down the hall
"Tasia!" Shouted Keykie but before Tasia could answer Keykie's call Keykie grabbed Tasia and pulled her outside the club room "Tasia I have to tell you something!" She squealed girlishly
"W-what is it?" Asked Tasia taking back by Keykie's excited behavior
"First promise me you won't tell anyone, not a single soul." Commanded Keykie Tasia only found herself able to nod dumbly "Okay," Started Keykie and then she leaned over and whispered in Tasia's ear "Mori-sempai has a crush on..." was all that could be heard by any ease droppers (Namely Lil and Nicky)
"WHAT?" Shouted Tasia shocked while Keykie grinned excitedly
"I know right! It's so weird!" she said "Now not a single soul Tasia-chan I'm trusting you." She said
"My lips are sealed." Tasia said smiling while Keykie beamed back
"Did you hear anything?" asked Yuki curious while Nicky leaned back from the door
"Just that Mori-sempai has a crush on someone; I didn't catch their name though." She stated calmly while on the inside she was shouting and cussing because Keykie wouldn't tell her first
Hayate who had been forgotten in the room's eyes widened and then he smirked knowingly but dropped the smirk so he wouldn't be interrogated.
"Damn you didn't hear ether." Lil said sighing
"Hi Ashley-chan!" Shouted Honey walking up to the person who had ironically had just been talked about on the other side of the school
"Hello sempai." Greeted Ashley politely "Why isn't Morinozuka-sempai with you?" She questioned noticing the taller boy wasn't with the smaller boy
"Taka-chan's training with his brother!" Exclaimed Honey Ashley nodded calmly showing Honey that she had heard his words "Do you want to go watch?" He asked but Honey didn't give Ashley a chance to say no and dragged her off by grabbing her by the wrist
