Chapter 3
With every action theirs a negative reaction...
Lina went to her next class feeling very smug and happy. Though she new she would have to keep a close eye out for Phibrizo, cause she was sure he would want to get a point today since she had already got hers. This pleased Lina allot. "Hey Lina!" Lina turned to see Gourry waving at her from down the hall. He was wearing his football uniform, as he ran towards her. "Hey what do you want jellyfish? I got a class to go to you know..." Lina said tapping her foot. "Did you know we have an assembly today?" Gourry asked. This news made Lina grown as she punched Gourry in the side of the arm. "Thanks ALLOT! Now I'm not in a good mood anymore." Lina growled as she stooped to her next class leaving the confused football player behind.
Lina chewed on the eraser at the end of her pencil as she looked at the clock. Lunch wasn't for a good two hours and she still had to sit through that boring assembly to get to it. She let her head fall on her desk as she heard her stomach growl. Amelia looked beside her to Lina with concern, she didn't seem to be herself these days. Amelia smirked as she looked behind her to see Phibrizo wink and then smile at her. She simply rolled her eyes as she turned around again. It was funny how Lina made her sit there so Phibrizo couldn't, cause he always made a habit of sitting next to her. Though this always made her uneasy.
Lina was hardly listening to the teacher as she explained a new project they would be doing. The teacher was reading off names, though Lina didn't catch on until she heard her name and was soon followed by Phibrizo's. "Here." Lina said ignoring the fact that this wasn't even attendance. "Miss Inverse, I am not reading the attendance. I'm telling you your partners for this next assignment." The teacher said sounding kinda pissed. "Can I be Amelia's partner?" Lina begged hoping that it wasn't Phibrizo's name that she heard next to hers. "Miss Inverse! If you were listening you would know that this is a mock living assignment for a married couple, and you have already been pared up with Mr. Rubyeye! It is not my problem that you refuse to pay attention! So if you don't mind I would like to continue teaching my class!" The teacher said sounding even more pissed.
Lina slowly sunk back down into her chair, and then slowly turned her head to look back at Phibrizo. She expected to see him smiling like an idiot just to piss her off, but instead Phibrizo had his head facing down to the desk with an concentrated look on his face. It was almost like he was deep in thought, it was very unlike Phibrizo...and it was kinda creepy. Slowly the teacher handed out the assignments and everyone was to get started with their partners. Phibrizo didn't seem like he was in a real rush for moving so Lina thought, Fine I will be the mature one and go over there. We have been partners before...I can handle this. She took a deep breath as she walked by Amelia and Valgaav before she stopped in front of Phibrizo's desk.
"So you care." Phibrizo said mockingly as her raised his head to look at her. "hn, ya right! I just want to get a grade for this project, and I can do it with or without you." Lina sneered as she turned to get a chair and hid her little blush. But Phibrizo saw it and chuckled, Lina placed the chair at his desk as she took out the criteria for the project. After about 10 minutes Amelia was a little curious, they didn't have one outburst. She turned around to see Phibrizo and Lina actually doing work. Valgaav turned around as well when he saw Amelia do it. "Looks like hell has frozen over" Valgaav said with a smirk to Amelia as they saw the two working.
Lina felt eyes watching her, she immediately looked only to see Amelia and Valgaav with shocked expressions on their faces. "Hey, what are you two lookin at?!? Don't you have a project to do too!" Lina said as she blushed again. Amelia and Valgaav turned around. "How long do you think till they crack?" Asked Valgaav. "I'll bet you they don't" Amelia said hoping. "Ok, ten bucks says they do before the end of this class." Valgaav bet. "You're on" Amelia said, still not too sure if they could make it for another 15 minutes.
"Well, it looks like it wasn't meant to be." Valgaav said with a smirk as the whole class watched as Lina stood up and started to yell at Phibrizo on how stupid his idea was as well at how narrow minded he was too. But what surprised the class the most was that Phibrizo was actually yelling back. Phibrizo never yelled back. Amelia and Valgaav looked on in shock as the redhead and the once calm cool Darklord member argued...loudly. Good thing the teacher wasn't in the room at the moment. "It looks like he finally snapped." Valgaav said almost sounding sorry for Phibrizo. "Huh, what do you mean." Amelia asked turning to her partner.
"Oh come on Amelia! It has been like this since elementary school. Phibrizo is loopy for her, he's way past the deep end." Valgaav said almost in disgust. "But if he likes Lina, than why does he tease her so much?" Amelia asked wanting to get some more information. "It's the only rise he can get out of her. She will only talk to him when he's being as asshole. But by the looks of this and the fact that he's actually fighting back. I would say he's tired of chasing her anymore." Valgaav said knowing he gave her more information than her should have. Suddenly the teacher walked in and broke up the fight. Lina and Phibrizo sat back down only to continue with the death glares.
Soon the bell rang and it was time to get to the assembly, Lina was the first one to stomp out of the room followed by Amelia who ran to keep up. Amelia just walked beside Lina, she didn't say anything as they went to the gym, and the pained look on her face said it all. When they got there they sat down on the bleachers as far from the Darklords as they could get. After about a minute Amelia finally got the courage to talk to Lina. "Are you ok?" She asked. Lina just put on a fake smile. "Of coarse, why do you ask?" Lina said cheerfully. Amelia just shook her head as if to say it was nothing. Whoa, that is one big case of denial. Amelia thought as the assembly started.
The assembly was really boring and they were only half way through, it seemed it was going to go on forever. Then the principal started to talk about how the school has to many students. "So if you transfer you won't be able to get back in. We are trying to make this school as small as possible." The Principal finished. Suddenly an idea of revenge popped into Phibrizo's head as he stood up. Every one looked up into the bleachers. "Are you talking small small, or microscopic small like Lina's breasts! Cause there is NO way you can get the school that small." Phibrizo said loud enough so that every one could hear. Half the students laughed, and the other half as well as the teachers cringed at the thought of what Lina would do to him.
Phibrizo then stood up again. "Oh I'm sorry I should apologize to the principals and teachers, if we make the school that small you wont have any students to teach!" Phibrizo laughed as he fell over in a fit of giggles. Everyone continued to laugh more, Amelia was shocked she turned to see Lina...she was totally calm. She acted as if she didn't even hear Phibrizo yell out the rude comments, she just sat there calm and mute. It scared Amelia allot. "Ok, that is quite enough Mr. Rubyeye" The Principal said quieting the students. The rest of the assembly was more or less boring other than the occasional out burst of laughter that emitted for the group of Darklords on the other side of the gym.
When the assembly was over the lunch bell rang. Lina was the first to get out of the gym. The last were the Darklords, they were still laughing when they exited through the gym door. Phibrizo's laughing stopped when he felt himself being grabbed by the shirt and slammed into the lockers. Phibrizo looked up in shock to see Lina's face glaring back at him. "Are you a jackass on purposes or does it just come naturally for you?!?" Lina yelled as she banged him against the locker again. The only response she got from him was a shocked look.
By this point a large group of people were surrounding them. "Why the fuck did you that for!?! Do you enjoy making my life a living HELL? Huh, do you?!? Well, I'm tired of it, don't have anything better to do than torment me? You know, ever since Elementary School I was hopping you would just disappear off the face of the earth, but the next day there you were, making my life miserable! I HATE YOU! Why wont you just go AWAY?!?" Lina yelled as her eyes started to fill with tears. Lina suddenly let go of Phibrizo and ran down the hall cause she was crying. Luna heard what was going on and went after Lina, but was stopped by Amelia who said she would take care of her.
Phibrizo just stood there, still with the look of shock on his face. He slowly turned and walked down the hallway in the opposite direction, people moving aside to clear a path for him. Then he was gone. "That was harsh." Gaav said. Zellas nodded her head in agreement.
Lina ran the whole way home crying. Amelia ran as fast as she could to try and keep up. When Lina reached her house, she opened the door and ran to her room followed closely by Amelia. When Amelia opened her door Lina was crying on her bed hugging one of her pillows. Amelia went and sat on the bed beside her. Soon Lina's crying calmed a bit, "Why did I do that?" Lina asked softly into her pillow. "Cause the jerk disserved it! I don't care if he likes you or not, he had to right to do that." Amelia suddenly put her hands to her mouth realizing what she just said. Lina only put on a disgusted look on her face and laughed at Amelia comment.
"It's true! He has since elementary. He only teases you to get your attention." Amelia said not caring what she told now. "Well it worked, but why do I feel so bad?" Lina said once again going to her pillow for comfort. "Well maybe you're not being true to your feelings Lina." Amelia said quietly, just loud enough so Lina could hear. Lina didn't protest this time she only fell into Amelia's embrace and started to cry again. "I know" Amelia said as she offered soft words of encouragement as she let Lina release all the pain she locked up for so many years.
When Phibrizo left the school he walked to the park and sat on one of the benches. All he could think about was what an idiot he was. Maybe I should finish what I have been meaning to do for a long time now...it would at least make Lina very happy.
