"My head's spinning round and round, been working all week now, baby. Yes it's my day, I take a trip downtown, to my favorite club now, baby," Van sang merrily as he and Hitomi trudged down the perilous road to school.
"Must you start everyday with an obnoxious song?" Hitomi groaned, still half asleep.
"I only kiss kiss kiss when the sun don't shine, Oh Ohoh! Oh Ohoh! You wanna kiss kiss kiss then tonight is fine, Oh Ohoh! Oh Ohoh!" Van continued, nodding frantically in response to Hitomi's question. A bounce started to grow in his step slightly, and Hitomi couldn't but help but let a wry smile curl on her lips. "Come on, Hitomi!" Van shouted, as he continued bopping along to his walkman.
"No way," Hitomi warned, "Making me sit with a glass jar downtown was bad enough".
"You could have sung too, you know," Van smirked, and Hitomi rolled her green eyes at him, unsuccessfully keeping a straight face.
"Straight out of the blue, you came and asked me to, be your date in the daytime babe. But I'm sorry no can do," Van continued singing, constantly prodding Hitomi in the side with his finger, giving her his irresistible puppy dog face. "Please?" he asked while there was a bridge in the song, and Hitomi started to laugh.
"I only kiss kiss kiss when the sun don't shine, Oh Ohoh! Oh Ohoh! You wanna kiss kiss kiss then tonight is fine, Oh Ohoh! Oh Ohoh!" she began to join in, and Van's face lit up like an a thousand watt light bulb. He never thought she'd ACTUALLY join in with him. Linking arms with his best friend, he started to half bounce half run to their school, despite his heavy back pack.
"What?" Hitomi laughed lightly as she noticed Van's peculiar expression.
"You're a better singer then me," Van pouted, and Hitomi grinned.
"Of course," she teased, and Van just pushed her into a nearby hedge.
Mr. Yamada, the most "exciting" teacher at their high school, tapped away rather animatedly at his lap top, chortling to himself as the class waited patiently for him to realize that they were there. Van, being the man of action, as he liked to call himself, took the opportunity to cough loudly.
"WE HAVE A CLASS," he half coughed, half choked, and Mr. Yamada looked up sharply as several girls in the class giggled.
"Today class we have a new student, please give a hearty welcome to Allen Schezar, he comes from Asturia," Mr. Yamada spoke, flustered, as he threw Van a dirty look, and Hitomi perked up. Could it be the same Allen? she thought excitedly.
A boy with long frizzy blonde hair, tied loosely with some scrap of cloth, stood at the front of the room, his cerulean blue eyes piercing, his glasses large and clunky. A few black heads dotted his nose, and instead of carrying a back pack like a regular person he sported a massive black leather clunky brief case, a few papers sticking out of the edges. As the class murmured a hello, Hitomi anxiously caught the boy's eye and motioned for him to sit next to her. Hesitantly, he gave her a small smile as he sat down beside her, and turned to the board, frantically jotting down every word the teacher was saying.
Allen Schezar... Hitomi smiled to herself, as she snuck looks at him from the corner of her eye. She might as well have just stared at him, he was too busy glued to the teacher's words to notice anything else.
A girl with dark brown hair and electric blue eyes caught Van's attention as she slid out her compact mirror from her purse and used it to reflect the sunlight from her spot near the window into his vision. Picking up the folded piece of paper on her desk she dropped it onto the ground and kicked it over to him with her foot as he gave her a small lopsided grin.
[Isn't this new seating arrangement awful?] he read as he unfolded the note.
Clicking his pen, Van quickly scrawled back;
[Yeah, but I guess we'll get used to it. I did like it when we could sit wherever we wanted though.]
[Hehe, I'm sure it won't be bad as long as you're sitting beside me ^_~ ] was the reply in baby blue ink.
[Haha, cool] Van hesitantly wrote back.
[=P A lot of girls have a crush on you, eh?]
Van looked over at his correspondence, and she winked at him in a friendly manner.
[Really? o_O;; I thought I was too obnoxious, or as Hitomi always says, haha]
[No, a lot of girls think you're really cute and funny] the girl scribbled back.
[Wow, that's new] Van wrote back.
[See? Aha!]
[What?]
[Most guys would gloat and be macho about this news. You, on the other hand blush slightly. No wonder you have so many girls winking at you] came the girl's neat response.
[Really? I thought they just had problems with the school's environment, you know, dust getting in their contacts or something]
[You're so funny! ^_^]
Van winked at the girl, and she giggled as they both turned to pay attention to the teacher for the last five minutes.
"I will be pairing you up into groups for your next assignment," the teacher announced as his eyes flicked over to the clock on the wall, "You are to create a 365 day calendar, each day filled with a significant event to Gaea". The entire class groaned. "No complaining," the teacher warned, "This is only the beginning, it gets much harder". Again the class groaned. "The list will be posted outside of class tomorrow," the teacher continued, "You are now dismissed".
As Van grabbed his backpack from the floor, his seat neighbor approached him with her gel baby blue pen and grabbed his hand.
[Call me: 672-9981]
"Um, Van, is it?" came a calm voice from behind him. Turning around, Van looked to see who it was, and nearly dropped his sandwich.
"Oh. Hey, er, Allen," Van replied finally, his left cheek twitching slightly.
"I just wanted to apologize for ruining your um... 'shindig'" Allen apologized, lifting his two fingers up as he said the word shindig.
"It's alright," Van replied, wincing slightly at the word shindig.
"I was wondering though," Allen continued on crisply, "I have taken interest in your female friend, Ms. Kanzaki".
"Hitomi?" Van exclaimed incredulously. "Hitomi? What the hell? HITOMI!?!" Van repeated, as if to make sure he heard right.
Why the hell does he want to date Hitomi?? She's MY best friend!
Doesn't mean she's your girlfriend you bimbo!
Don't call me a bimbo *hurt*
"I believe she is an intelligent young woman, considering this day and age, and I find her beauty most admirable," Allen nodded, "I'd like to court her, if you know what I mean".
Van nearly suffocated as he was in the middle of biting his sandwich.
"WHAT?!" Van cried out, a chunk of tomato hitting Allen in the forehead. "Erm, sorry about that," Van apologized hastily as Allen gingerly flicked the vegetable off his head.
"Yes, and I believe since you are close with her, and a 'ladies man', I humbly ask for your help, and in exchange I will tutor you in math," Allen offered calmly.
"Who told you I had low math marks?" Van asked suspiciously, inhaling the last bits of his sandwich. Hitomi?? HITOMI!??!
"I asked our teacher, Mr. Yamada for advice, and he suggested I talk to you since you are so popular among the females, and in exchange to tutor you on your weakest subject," Allen replied simply.
"YOU ASKED MR. YAMADA FOR LOVE ADVICE?!?!?!" Van shouted, his voice ringing down the hallway.
"Yes," Allen confirmed, taken a back as Van began to laugh moronically, clutching his sides as he gasped for air.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Van choked, nearly collapsing to the ground.
"It's a perfectly reasonable idea," Allen said, "He is older, and therefore wiser, and he is the one who directed me to you".
"Ha, well I'm no 'ladies man', as you call it, Schezar," Van finally replied as he regained his composure.
"Oh but you must be," interrupted Allen earnestly, "You were passing notes with that belle, Madeline Drake, you have several girls adoring you from afar, and your best friend is a female".
"Well," Van trailed off. Can't believe he wants to date Hitomi.
"Please?" Allen tried, a desperate tone seeping through his voice.
"Oh fine," Van relented, "But you're going to have to listen to me, no trying to reason with me!"
He wants do date Hitomi!
Ugh, would you SHUT UP! You've made your point!!!
*hurt*
Allen nodded rapidly, and took out his notebook.
"So, what is the first lesson?" he asked, his pen ready. Van rolled his eyes exasperatedly.
"Ugh, we'll go to my place".
"Okay, buddy boy, we're going to have to make you over," Van started as Allen carefully set down his brief case by Van's desk. "First off, your hair".
"What's wrong with my hair?" Allen asked, his hand flying to his head insecurely.
"It's frizzy, it's long, it's a mop of straw," Van replied.
"I can't cut my hair!" Allen cried defensively. Van scowled.
"You're not making this easy..." he warned, and Allen relented.
"Okay, I'm sorry, no more protesting, just please, don't cut my hair".
"Alright, alright," Van finally caved in.
"Thank you, your consideration is well valued," Allen replied sincerely. Going into his bedroom's bathroom, Van dug around in his medicine cabinet until he found what he was looking for.
"Here," Van called as he tossed Allen a bottle of ancient hair gel.
"Whoops," Allen laughed heartily as he missed the toss by a mile. This is going to be a long day, Van thought with a grimace.
"What?" Allen asked as he emerged from the bathroom. Van's left eye twitched slightly.
"I didn't know you could get a six inch lift with hair gel," he finally spoke in awe.
"Attractive, isn't it?" Allen smiled slightly, gazing at his reflection in the shine of Van's chrome lamp. His straw like mop was know suddenly shiny and golden, full of volume, fresh from a hair ad.
"Er, whatever you say, better then before though," Van replied, and getting off his seat on the bed, he inspected Allen. He had convinced Allen to loosen his belt slightly so the bottom of his pant legs actually touched his shoes, and to loosen his tucked in uniform shirt slightly. He had also convinced Allen to unbutton the sleeves of his shirt and roll them up slightly, and to loosen his tie.
"Wow, you almost look normal," Van muttered sarcastically.
"Anything else?" Allen asked, adjusting the bridge of his thick, black glasses.
"Okay, this weekend, you're getting contacts, or better looking glasses," Van said, "And you are going to get a regular back pack! Also, from now on you are to wipe this on your face everyday," Van added as he threw a jar of Oxy pads at Allen.
"What are these?" Allen asked, as he opened the jar curiously.
"Wipe those on your face, and they'll keep those zits and shit away," Van explained, "Those came free with my sister's shampoo and she chucked them at my head one day when I was bugging her," he sheepishly added.
"Violent siblings?" Allen smiled, and Van blinked at him oddly.
"Um, yeah. Anyways, that's um, it for your appearance".
"And my personality?" Allen asked persistently.
"Stop talking so oddly".
"In which way do I talk oddly?"
Van collapsed onto the ground.
"Hey," Allen said to Van's mirror, "Hey".
"Try throwing in another word," Van called out lazily as he flipped through his homework.
"Oh dear, that's going to be difficult," Allen replied queasily.
"Do not say 'Oh dear'" Van commanded, and Allen nodded quickly, jotting that down in his notebook. "Stop jotting everything you hear down!" Van yelled, and Allen began to write that down when Van marched over into his bathroom and ripped the notebook out of Allen's hands.
"Wait--" Allen began hysterically as Van opened his window.
"No! I'm not going to hear it!" Van yelled, as he prepared his arm to chuck the notebook out into his back yard pool.
"NO!"
"I'm not listening, Schezar!" Van snapped as he chucked the notebook out into the pool.
"NO!" Allen screamed horrifically as the thick paper notebook sunk out of view.
"I don't want to hear it," Van stated, basking in his bossy state.
"Van my school notes were in there!" Allen complained.
"Oh".
"Okay, girls... They're tough creatures. I can't explain everything to you, you'll pick the details up in time," Van spoke as he twirled his basketball on his finger.
"Okay," Allen nodded attentively.
"I can't change too much of your personality, that would be wrong," Van thought aloud, "Okay. Just a few rules of thumb. Never call them fat. If they ask you 'Am I fat?' do NOT bother to look! Automatic answer is NO!"
"But that would be lying," Allen interrupted.
"What did I say Schezar? NO INTERRUPTING!" Van thundered.
"Okay," Allen meeped weakly.
"Now, do not compliment them too much. But do remember to compliment them every so often. Be nice. Support them, and if they start to go ballistic try to understand, they are probably PMSing or having a bad day. Just let it slide," Van continued strictly, "Just... Basically do whatever makes them happy, and that's all you really need to know," Van added seriously.
"Thank you Van," Allen smiled warmly, "Would it be unmanly and inappropriate for me to give you a hug?"
"Yes".
AN: Fear not Allen lovers! Allen will soon evolve to the Allen you love later! So don't be crazy! Haha! And yes everyone, "Nobody Said It Was Easy" is coming so calm! hehe, well hope you liked this chapter! Fluffy bits coming later, for now just insanity! Please bear with me while this goes on ^^;; Please review! ^____^
