CHAPTER SIX: BOXERS
"ALLEN!"
"Gwah!" cried Allen, jolting up in his bed. "What? What is it?" He rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"Oh, there you are!" cried Miyuki. Allen's eyes closed half way in obvious agitation. "Oh, were you sleeping?"
Allen looked down at himself in bed, covered in blankets. He grimaced at her and held his arms out as if to say "duh."
"Did I wake you up?"
"………….no," he replied somewhat sarcastically. Damn her. Damn her. Damn her. He nearly sobbed at the fading image in his dream.
"…No. Come back….." he said.
"What are you talking about?"
Allen lifted his eyes angrily, and Miyuki fancied she saw them light up suddenly. He pointed at the door, unable to articulate.
"Huh?" she asked, confusedly.
"GET OUT!"
"EEK!" she cried as she ran out, an enraged Allen chasing her. "Sorry! I just wanted to see if Shion had found you yet."
The angry flash vanished in an instant. "The chief?" he asked.
"She was looking for you," said Miyuki, now hiding behind Jr. who had been walking by at that instant.
"Did she say why?"
"No," she said, flinching as though she were about to be attacked. "But you might try her room. With that, Miyuki fled out of the hallway, leaving a bewildered Allen and Jr. behind her.
Allen started off towards Shion's room when Jr. caught him by the bed sheet trailing behind him. He started. Jr. pointed down, sniggering uncontrollably. Allen followed Jr.'s finger to find himself wearing nothing but his boxers. He quickly wrapped the sheet around himself and hurried back into his room, face blazing in embarassment. Jr. and several others present in the hallway laughed loudly.
