Chapter Six: Worries

"He really kissed you?" asked Merle the next day in the cafeteria, "oh girl, you owe me big time!"

"Yup," Hitomi replied smiling. Ever since yesterday when Allen kissed her, Hitomi hasn't been able to stop smiling.

"I'm so happy for you! Maybe we can double date sometime," giggle Yukari.

'Should I tell her that Allen intends to rush when he's out with a girl?' thought Millerna quietly, 'I don't want to burst her bubble cause I don't remember the last time I've seen her this happy, but still…"

"Do you think he's going to ask you to the dance?" questioned Merle.

"Of course he is! He kissed her! If that doesn't mean he likes her, than I don't know what does!" Yukari giggled even more.

'If only you knew…'sighed Millerna, while listening to the conversation.

"There's a dance? When?" exclaimed Hitomi, "why aren't I ever informed about anything that goes on?"

"Because you never read the school paper!" Merle and Yukari yelled at the same time.

"Oh oops," blushed Hitomi, "Mel, you're not saying much to day. What do you think of this whole thing?"

'If I tell her, she might think I'm jealous, which I'm not. I dumped him and I don't regret it. I just don't want her to get hurt-'

"Hello??? Earth to Millerna?" Merle waved her hands in front of Millerna's face.

"What? Oh!" finally realizing that she was staring into space, "sorry, what were you guys saying?"

"I said what do you think of this whole situation with Allen, I mean, you've dated him, you should know a lot more than I do," said Hitomi casually while popping a grape into her mouth.

"I…I don't know…" said Millerna nervously, 'change the subject, please, someone, change the subject!!!' she pleaded in her mind.

"Wait I just thought of something!" Merle almost screamed, "I'm the only one here that doesn't have a date for the dance!"

'Thank god for Merle's big mouth!' prayed Millerna.

"Hey! I was asking a question, thanks for interrupting!" Hitomi glared at Merle but then quickly returned back to smiling. It seemed that nothing could ruin her good mood today.

"Why don't you ask Van since you're so obsessed with him?" asked Yukari.

Blushing hard Merle answered quietly, "he doesn't even know me, plus, I don't ask guys out."

"You can always go with Gadeth," Hitomi giggled.

Merle made a face and said, "yuck, Gadeth?"

"Well everyone knows he's crazy about you, and he's not bad looking neither," Millerna said finally joining in the conversation.

"I never said he's ugly, but his not my type," Merle said blushing. "Hey I know how you can repay me Hitomi!" she then said out of the blue, "Fix me up with Van!"

"What?" asked Hitomi, "how can I do that? I don't even know the guy!"

"You know him better than I do! Please?" she said with huge puppy dog eyes.

"*Sigh*, I'll see what I can do…" Hitomi answered.

"You will? Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" Merle jumped up happily, giving Hitomi a big hug.

'*Sigh* it seems that everyone is happy except me; I don't even have a date to the dance yet…to think, Millerna Sara Aston doesn't have date to the school dance. Boy, that's would make front page on the school paper. Maybe I should stop worrying about Hitomi and concentrate on my own love life, and maybe Allen did changed. Damn I sure hope he did…' thought Millerna as she listened to the girls talk about what they are going to wear to the dance.

"So who are you going to ask to tonight's dance?" Dilandau asked Allen in the hallway.

"I don't know yet, it seems that I've dated every good looking girl in this school," the blond boy answered with a chuckle.

"What about that cutie you were with yesterday during bball practice?" his friend said with a grin. "She got a fine body."

"Hitomi," Allen said with a weird tone, as if debating on if he should ask her, "I guess I'll ask her. She's the only MGW that's available right now. That Merle girl would probably scratch my eyes out if I got within two feet of her."

"Dude, this is a first, a girl who can't stand Allen," Dilandau said laughing, "Wait, that is if you don't count that Millerna babe. Man, seems to me that you're losing your touch."

"Shut your asshole! I don't see you with a date to the dance, plus, you're not even a MGM."

"Like I give a shit. That stuff is gay and you know it. I might be considering asking your lil sis to the dance though."

"You better not try anything with her! Or I'll beat the shit out of you. She my only baby sister and no one messes with her!" warned Allen.

"Yo, chill out! I'm not going to rape her or anything. By the way, if you're going to ask that Hitomi babe out, here's your chance," he said pointing towards Hitomi who was walking up with Millerna. "I'd ask her now before she's taken too," Dilandau said walking away before Allen could pound him.

***Okay, so I added Dilandau. He's only has a minor role. ^_^ Next up, is Allen going to ask Hitomi out? ***
