Chapter 15

No one's POV

"AHHH…!"

'THUD!'

Alice opened her eyes and blinked. It seemed like she landed on something that broke her fall. She heard something… '…a heartbeat?' she thought and felt something soft brush against her palm then a breath under her palm and then a sigh. "Oh no…"

She shifted her head up and saw that she was lying on top of Shun. The palm of her right hand was covering his mouth and her left hand was on his chest. They were both surprised and stared at each other for few seconds in the low light provided at the base of the shelves when Shun grunted. At least, the lack of sufficient light concealed his slightly flushed face.

Alice blushed as she removed her palm from his lips and pushed herself up. "I-I'm sorry!" she apologized while Shun sat up. "Thank you…" she added, smiling.

"Hn" he grunted, composing himself. She stood up and extended her hand to him which he took but just as she pulled him she noticed him wince and he instantly let go of her hand when he stood up.

"Are you hurt?" asked Shun, glancing at her and saw her looking at him. "No… you are injured, right?" she asked instead. She was sure she saw him wince in pain.

"It's nothing…" denied Shun when Alice grabbed his same hand, right hand, she used to pull him up, gently pushed his sleeve up and inspected it, to find swelling on the wrist and looks like there was scratch on his palm which was bleeding slightly. Alice gasped. Shun removed his hand from hers and said, "It'll be fine… Let's just get the files and let's go"

Alice sighed. 'He must have hit it on some shelf while saving me… I'll take him to infirmary once we leave' she thought as she glanced at Shun who went towards the switch and turned it on. Nothing happened…

"The lights are not working. Here, take this… the files are up there" said Alice and extended the torch towards him that was lying on the floor now.

"I'll get the files. Focus the torch over them" instructed Shun. Alice nodded and did as told while Shun got the files easily with his height and uninjured hand. There was no use of arguing with him as he was as stubborn as her when it comes to decisions…

"It's no use… It won't budge" said Shun and sighed. Alice tried opening the door at first but it didn't open by her so Shun tried next but seems it was locked from the outside.

He face-palmed; he was already tired due to today's work and commotion. Alice stood a foot behind him and sighed, holding the files in her hand. 'The door needs to be repaired…' he took a mental note.

"Why don't you call someone, Shun?" asked Alice. Shun looked her.

"I would've done it already but I forget my cell phone on my desk…" he replied. "Mine is in my bag…" said Alice before he could ask her. Alice had tried shouting for help but it seems useless. 'If his fan girls knew I'm stuck here with their beloved Kaichou… I'll be hunt down…' she thought and gulped.

Shun sat down, leaning on the shelf while Alice paced in front of him in a small cramped space, thinking when she hit a box with her foot. She glanced at Shun and smiled nervously. "Sorry… I was just thinking… We need to get out… Your hand…" she said, looking away.

"Alice, will you just sit down?" asked Shun, gesturing his hand beside him, with a calm look. Alice glanced at him then went beside him and sat down. Shun glanced towards the window and saw that the light was turning in a reddish-orange hue.

'Atleast an hour for sunset… And I'm relieved that I'm not stuck with a fan girl… if that had happened I really would have broken the door or may be knocked the girl out…?' he thought as he recalled the girls' advances on him. Who knows what will they do if they find him all alone in such a place. He sweatdropped at his thoughts then glanced at the door.

A few seconds passed with the silence. "I hope someone will notice we are gone, ne…?" asked Alice then glanced at Shun who had his eyes closed. "Hn…" he said, opening his eyes. "I think so…" he added.

"Anyway, why are you here, Shun?" asked Alice, glancing at him. Shun was staring at the door in front. "You were late. The others left except Julie but she went somewhere… may be to the service club room and I thought you might have wandered off somewhere…" said Shun and smirked.

"Oh… HEY! Are you saying that I slack off while working? I don't do that!" exclaimed Alice and huffed. Shun shrugged, "You don't…?".

Alice looked the other side. "Well, sometimes I get distracted… And who is the one that sleeps on his desk while working?" she pointed out, smiling triumphantly while Shun shook his head "Whatever…"

"Wait… I think it'll do!" exclaimed Alice and pulled out her handkerchief from her blazer pocket. Shun raised an eyebrow at her questioningly but it was answered when she grabbed his injured hand, gently and banded his bleeding palm with it. "There… it'll help I think…" she said and smiled at him. Shun looked away. "Hn…"

"How about we break the door?" asked Alice. Shun sighed.

"It's a school property. And we have less budget… that should be our last resort" replied Shun, thinking and leaned back but then something poked him at his side on the back. He shifted a little.

"Okay…" said Alice, followed by silence. She glanced at Shun as she saw him shift a little and found him just beside her. She moved to other side to make space between them but was blocked by the boxes. She glanced at him and found him looking at her, the orange-red hue of light reflected in his eyes. "Uh…"

Alice felt uncomfortable as he kept staring at her. Then he shifted and leaned towards her, moving his hand up. Alice moved back. 'What is he doing?!' she thought and gulped. Her cheeks flushed a little at their close proximity while he showed no emotion. Before she can say anything, he swiped his hand over her shoulder in a swift moment. She blinked then muttered, "…What…?"

"Just a small spider…" shun replied, nonchalantly.

"Oh… What?!"

She glanced at the spider that landed a foot away from them which crawled back behind the shelves. "You call that small…? It's too big!" she said pointing at the spider. A chuckle escaped Shun's lips.

"It's gone… Why are you surprised? The place hasn't cleaned up… So, spiders or rats might be there" said Shun as a matter of fact and shrugged. Alice looked at him bewildered. "R-Rats…?" she stuttered out and glanced around frantically. Shun smirked.

Alice was still looking around while Shun looked at her. Just to tease her, he added, "Yeah, big rats and may be cockroaches…". Alice gulped and looked at the spot where the spider went.

He grabbed a plastic paper from the shelf beside him and crunched it which made a scratching noise. "Speak of the devil…" he whispered in her ear, referring to the rats and smirked.

Shun froze. He hadn't expected her to grab the front of his blazer and bury her face on his chest. He was just having some fun but it made her scared. He was surprised as he glanced down at her. What's more, he felt his heart beat faster and his face heated up a little. "What are you doing?" he voiced out without thinking.

"S-Sorry…" said Alice as she instantly let go of him. She looked embarrassed while Shun composed himself and ran a hand through his hair, both looking away from each other. Alice glanced at him and saw the paper in his hand then narrowed her eyes at him.

"It was you, Shun?!" she exclaimed. Shun looked at her. "…It was me?" he said and put the paper aside. "I was just… never mind… I didn't know you are scared of rats" he said, changing the subject.

"Don't tell this to Dan! He'll use it to prank me!" said Alice, after a minute. Her heart was still beating fast and tried to calm down.

Few minutes passed. She didn't hear a word but then she felt weight on her shoulder and saw that it was Shun's head, over her shoulder. He looked asleep. 'He slept that easily…?' she thought and stared at his injured hand.

Meanwhile….

"Julie, is Alice back yet? I went to the office but no one was there…" said Dan and then munched on his potato chips. Julie glanced up from the fashion magazine she was reading. It was almost half hour she came to the Service club. Everyone glanced up at Julie.

"No one…? Where's Shun? Ohhh… They both are missing? Wait… Shun had sent Alice to bring some files from that store room beside library!" replied Julie. "…that was half hour ago…" she added.

"Aa… that door had locking problem. Dan was told to repair it. You did, right?" asked Keith, looking at Dan. Dan raised an eyebrow and gulped.

"Door…? What door…? Oh! That door?! Oops…" exclaimed Dan and laughed nervously, scratching his cheek. Keith face-palmed while other looked at him with wide eyes…

"DAN!"

It was already fifteen minutes; Shun slept soundly leaning on her shoulder. 'He must be tired…' she thought. He sighed and shifted a little, causing his head to slip from her shoulder but she held it with her hand so that it'll not jerk forward. 'It's almost half hour! And why didn't they came yet!' she thought.

As if on a cue, the door opened. There stood Julie, Keith and Dan. Her friends for some reason had a surprised look then smiled. Alice blinked as she saw a flash. Julie smirked as she clicked their photo.

"Julie!" exclaimed Alice causing Shun to wake up, who straightened, oblivious to the situation and stood up. Alice followed the suit.

Julie ran out before Alice could reach her, laughing while Alice followed after her. Once they were out, Shun asked, "What took you guys so long?"

"Why are you complaining? You look like you enjoyed your nap, Kaichou-san~!" said Dan, smirking.

Shun raised an eyebrow at him but replied, "Yeah…I did". Keith smirked at him and pulled out his cell phone while Dan smiled slyly.

"Of course you did…" stated Keith as he showed the picture to Shun. Shun looked at the picture, surprised and stop walking. "When did I…? DELETE it this instant!" he said, glaring at Keith who kept his cell phone back and left the embarrassed president behind, muttering a "Yeah-yeah…"

Next day…

Shun walked through the hallway and glanced behind him. He sighed. It was lunch time and he was followed yet again… by his fan girls. He turned around and ordered the girls. "Everyone, get back to your business" he said, his voice monotone and glared.

Instead of running, his fan girls squealed. "He talked to us!" is what he heard and sweatdropped. He sighed and shook his head. 'It's no use…' he thought. He had already ordered last time and requested their Principal to disband his unofficial fan club but still they didn't stopped following him around and staring at him. Atleast, they had stopped approaching him directly as he always gave them cold shoulder but still those confession letters hadn't stopped.

Shun turned around and walked towards cafeteria, his hands in his pockets; his right hand bandaged up. He could not use his hand for everything as his swollen wrist is restricting his movements. His thoughts drifted back to yesterday. After they came out of that store room, Alice had come back and instantly took… dragged him to the infirmary and then found out that his palm had a gash and her handkerchief was soaked with blood which went unnoticed by them in the dark.

Since then, Alice had been following him around and helping him whenever she had a spare time… which was too much for him. She even helped him write the report and even in the science lab, as they are partners, she carried out the whole experiment, which he enjoyed just sitting and staring…

He knew that she must be feeling that it's her fault that he got injured and must be guilty about it. He can see it all over her face. Besides, he also have to think about the upcoming interschool competitions of basketball, volleyball and play. He sighed as he reached the cafeteria and entered.

"Hey, Prez! Here!" exclaimed Julie who sat with other members of student council near the windows. Shun sweatdropped, as due to Julie's yell, everyone turned towards the door and look… stared at him then more squealing and gasping was heard. As he was not always eating in the cafeteria, only sometimes as he's busy doing work or taking a nap on his desk.

'Man! What's with them?!' he thought as his glare intensified which was sufficient for everyone to return to their business. Word has been out that their President had injured so he was annoyed that he was getting more 'looks' than normal, making it a big deal.

Shun noticed that service club was not there. And before he could ask he got the answer as he saw them outside… '…playing volleyball…?' he thought.

"The match is in two weeks… So they are helping volleyball club" said Runo, glancing at the Service club members.

"Yeah! After volleyball, it'll be basketball tournament then the Play! Isn't it exciting?!" asked Julie. Billy and Marucho smiled and nodded at her. Runo nodded but then said, "I'm more concerned about the Vestals though… They tried cheating last time. But we won because of Alice's strategy"

"I heard she's playing in the team and may be Dan as well, since it's mixed…" said Billy while others gave him questioning look. "I saw the volleyball members requesting them" he added and shrugged. The others muttered an "Oh…"

"Here, Shun" said Alice as she handed him a cup of tea. He just woke up from his nap, which he took on his desk. He saw Alice smiling at him and the others looking at them. He sweatdropped and took the cup. 'She's still at it…?' he thought.

"Alice, it fine… You don't have to do this much. I appreciate your concern but I already said it's not your fault" said Shun and exhaled. Ace nodded at the 'you don't have to do this much' part while Runo, Marucho and Julie agreed. Alice frowned.

"But it IS my fault… I'm just reflecting on it" she said, looking disappointed. Shun looked at her and then his friends who looked like thinking something.

"You are supposed to be assisting everyone here. So, stop doing it this instant. Are you my personal maid?" he stated, trying to be harsh. He was feeling uneasy as she was following him and was always close to him which he had started to like, making him disturbed at why he was enjoying it.

Alice looked like contemplating something while Ace and Julie smirked at Shun's explanation… or was it an excuse to hide his uneasiness…? Runo had an urge to chuckle while Marucho covered his smiling face behind laptop. They all knew he was feeling irritated now and may be confused while Alice was oblivious to his uneasiness. But the next words Alice spoke left them surprised while Shun looked baffled.

"Do you want me to?" asked Alice….
