Chapter 5
No one's POV
"Or do you want your rival to keep an eye on you?" …
Alice woke up with a start. 'Dream… More like a nightmare…' thought Alice and exhaled. She got off her bed to get ready for the school, shrugging yesterday's events from her thoughts.
Alice currently lives alone as her grandfather is on a business trip. Her parents died when she was young but they had taught her to always help others who are in need. They were always helping others, grateful to the people who had helped them when they were alive. So, she is following their path and she is glad that she had got such great friends that help her and think that she's not alone.
"I'm late today!" said Alice, as she tied her hair in a ponytail and took her cell phone. She took her bag and rushed out to grab some breakfast. Eating bread jam, she drank some orange juice she brought yesterday and locking the door of her apartment, she dashed off to catch the bus.
At School…
"YOU IDIOTS! Stop running!" yelled Runo as she saw Dan and Baron ran past her, into their classroom. She followed them inside and glared at them.
"I… (huff)…WON!" said Dan and panted.
"No… (huff)… Dan the man… (huff)… I won!" said Baron and panted.
Both were panting because of the long run they had just now. And forget to notice a presence behind them. And also… they ignored Runo just a minute ago. Dan exhaled and stood up straight and Baron followed.
"Oh, Good morning Runo!" exclaimed Baron as he noticed Runo. Runo folded her arms as she stood there, glaring.
"Hey! Good morning, Runo! Did you see who came in first? Me, right?" asked Dan, pointing at himself. Runo's glare intensified. They had totally ignored her. Dan and Baron shared a glance.
Baron waved his hand awkwardly. "Uhh… I need to ask Marucho something! Hey! ...Marucho!" he exclaimed and dashed off. Dan called him, "Baron! Wait…?"… Too late…
'Smack'
"OWW!"
"Here's your reward and good morning", said Runo and walked past Dan, towards Baron, who was talking to Marucho now. 'No escape there…' Dan thought and snickered as he heard Baron's "OWW!". He went towards them, rubbing his head.
Julie laughed at the scene as she approached them. "Hey guys! Having a good morning?" she asked and giggled at Runo's snorting.
"Oh! Have you guys heard that one of our student was attacked yesterday? She's not severely injured but still… She's on a leave now. It was good that her friends were around and called the cops. I hope she's fine…" said Julie as she sighed. The looks everyone gave her, told her that they didn't knew.
"Eh? This is bad… Two days ago we got the news that somebody got bullied for money…" said Dan thinking over. "You guys be careful…" he continued. Just then their teacher came and they scrambled to their seats.
Meanwhile…
Alice was reading a novel that recently got her interest, which Mira lent her. It was some ghost story, with mystery and a little romance… She was twenty minutes early for the school but ten minutes late in her opinion. Usually, she's half hour early daily… That's why she said she was late today… She was immersed in her book, at the interesting part, when…
"Late today?" asked Shun, standing in front of her.
Startled, Alice exclaimed, "EH?!" as her book fell down but Shun caught it with ease. And before he could read anything, she took it from his hand. She sighed relieved.
"W… What are doing here this early…, Shun…?" asked Alice, as she glanced at him. Shun raised his eyebrow at her. 'How did he know I come early to school? He keeps tab on everything…?!' Alice thought and blinked.
"I'm always half an hour early and … you… as well, I know" said Shun and smirked at her reaction. Alice raised her eyebrows and then blinked a few times. "I have seen you many time, coming early and reading…" he continued, before she thinks he's a stalker…
"…oh" Alice muttered. Shun looked at her. "Well, I can be late sometimes as well…" she said, answering his first question. She looked outside as she saw some students arrive.
"Oh? Then you might be slept in, having a nice dream…" said Shun and smirked before leaving, when Ace called him. Alice stared at his back, thinking that she did dream and about his voice repeating from last time. Little did they know that his fan girls were already 'lurking' around…
Alice turned her head and looked outside the window, thinking 'He couldn't be serious about yesterday… Where is Mira anyway?'
As if on a cue, Mira came in classroom and greeted her, "Good morning, Alice…". Alice noticed her friend's sullen mood.
"Good morning. Did I miss something…?" asked Alice, looking at Mira. Mira sighed, shaking her head and mumbled something like "I lost… That cheater… I'll get back at him…" as she took her seat. Alice chuckled and shook her head. 'Ace got ahead of her again, I guess…' she thought, when their teacher entered and students trudging to their seat. And the day went on…
Lunch Break…
"Man! That was a big line!" exclaimed Dan as ate food, more like gulping down. "It's a queue. And you're lucky Runo is not here…" stated Keith but 'SMACK'… "…was not here…" Keith completed and sweatdropped.
"Oww!"
"Now that I think, she did a good job…" said Keith as he rolled his eyes at Dan, referring to his eating technique. "Thank you, Keith-senpai!" said Runo, smiling at Keith then glaring at Dan, she left. Keith chuckled while Baron laughed. Alice and Mira already left the cafeteria for some work.
"I heard about the incidents" stated Keith, turning serious. Baron and Dan looked at him. "Hmm… We need to be careful. Two incidents in one week" said Dan, thinking. "And man! Their motives are unknown…" completed Baron and the trio sighed.
"I already spoke with our Kaichou about this but…" said Keith. "I'm sure he'll think of something" stated Dan interrupting Keith. Keith smiled a little. He was right about giving up his presidency to Shun Kazami. The boy has not only the support and respect from others but also friends like Dan and the others. 'Well… I'm always right' he thought and smirked.
After school hours…
Alice walked through the hallway, carrying thick science books in hands. She sighed. Mira and Keith left early today that left Dan, Baron and her to fill the request. This was the last batch they were asked to bring and Dan and Baron were already in the library, helping the librarian. She sighed.
"Need help, Service club?" asked Shun, appearing behind Alice, startling her and came at her side. Her books moved a little due to her shock and were going to fall but Shun blocked them with his hand and smirked. It still surprises her that 'Kaichou' has been speaking to her, lately. 'May be because we share common friends…?' she thought.
Alice sighed and said, "We got this, Kaichou. You can resume your patrolling, thanks. Uhh… excuse me". She walked ahead as the books were heavy and well… she could feel some glares on her back. Shun sighed. 'Helping others… but refusing to take help…?' he thought as he went opposite her direction.
"We'll be leaving then, Alice. Take care! And go home early! See ya tomorrow!", waved Dan, as he and Baron were out of library. Alice said that she can take care of the last remaining books and they can go off to their game arcade. She smiled at them, "Okay! Bye!"
Alice could hear Dan muttering something like "Man! That was suffocating in there! Too many books…!", and Baron agreed with him. She giggled, while finishing her work and earning a 'thanks' from the librarian. She spotted someone when she was about to leave, trying to get a book from upper shelf.
"Hey, Marucho! You want this one?" she asked, smiling. Marucho nodded and said, "Thanks Alice! I should've asked Shun or Runo earlier. Well, Runo left early today…". He smiled as he took the book from her hand. Alice nodded and said, "Oh? That's why I didn't saw her out… Okay, I'll be going now… bye!"
Alice went to her shoe locker and took out her shoes, when she spotted a letter. Curiously, she opened it which made eyes widen. She dropped the shoes down and dashed through the school door, without even realizing that she dropped the shoes as well as letter, leaving her locker open…
To be continued…
