Ok, this is a short chapter summarizing the next two days of school for Dante and Laura, hope you enjoy it, xoxo =)
Heartless Chapter 5: A Summary of two Days
MONDAY: Dante and Laura acted the same way in class like the day before, with their constant bickering and little argument that would end up with Laura slapping Dante was the perfect morning for the both of them, Homeroom would never be the same to their classmates.
First off was English taught by professor Hank McCoy. Dante actually paid attention to his lessons and soon became a favorite of his while Laura was already his favorite so she growled softly. 'Damn whitehead!'
Dante saw this and smirked at his victory. 'Yeah take that bitch!'
Next was math, a subject Laura dreaded and Dante halfway enjoyed. She didn't know Dante was a math genius in his math class as the teacher handed them a small test that they had to solve and she'd mark it at the end of the period.
"Damn it!" Laura cursed as she looked at the paper with a huge frown.
"You know, I'm pretty good at this, if you want I'll finish the paper for you but on one condition." Dante whispered.
She hesitated at first but then nodded since she had nothing to lose so she nodded.
"Ok, I'll tutor you in math tonight, if you really need it that is." He smiled.
She nodded and she let him finish the paper as the teacher saw most of the struggling faces in the first five minutes smirked and continued marking some other classes' papers.
"Ok class, pens down and I'll mark your papers immediately." The teacher exclaimed with great joy.
Laura groaned and dreaded for her marks while Dante kept a calm face while the teacher marked, most of the class had a look of dread on their faces except for Dante.
After a while the teacher had finished marking and began to read the marks aloud.
Everyone except Modeus and Oscar who got half for the test while Nikki and Kenny got about 3 out of ten.
Laura was stiff in her seat as it drew nearer to their names.
"Well done to Laura Kinney and Dante Sparda, full marks!" The teacher beamed.
Laura had a WTF look while Dante had an 'I-told-you- so' look on his face.
The whole class gasped and looked at Dante and Laura, Dante ignored them and Laura gave a shy smile.
The periods flew by and by the time it was lunch, Modeus, Nikki and Dante headed to eat at their table.
"So, how'd you guys get so much for your tests?" Nikki asked as they took out their lunch.
"We both do well in math I guess." Dante chuckled.
"Hmm sure puts me to shame." Nikki smiled.
Laura sat down next to her and looked down at her skirt.
"I need to talk to you, Dante." She said calmly.
"Ok…" He said and walked to the vending machines.
"What's up?" He asked casually as he leaned on the cafeteria walls.
"I…thanks…" Laura said seriously.
"Hm…uhh it's no problem." He grinned and stood up straight to face her.
She looked at him and bit her bottom lip.
"Huh…so where and what time do you want me to tutor you?" He asked curiously.
"Uhh…I never actually thought about that…around seven and well how about my place, I'll make some strawberry sundaes!" She beamed with a smile while thinking about the delicious dessert.
"Haha, you like strawberry sundaes too?" He asked.
"Yeah, wait…you like them too…hehe well who doesn't." She smiled.
"Damn straight…so I guess I'll see you at seven then." Dante said and they walked back to the table.
Dante smiled while Laura had a normal expression on her face. Laura took her seat next to Nikki while Dante sat next to Modeus.
Lunch was over and the rest of the periods went quite quickly as school was over with the buzz of students in the cafeteria and scattered around the school with some studious ones found in their dorms and party animals jumping around the halls, it was similar to a normal college with a high school feel because of the uniform and non uniform wearing pupils.
Laura found herself wondering the school halls with Nikki and talking about various things and having small races in the halls.
Dante found himself in the cafeteria ordering pizza with Modeus, Oliver and Aiden (They were gonna have a guys evening out which Dante disagreed with but Modeus eventually winning the debate).
Time passed as it grew to the hour of 6 o' clock.
"Damn, I should get ready." Dante murmured as he saw the clock in his room tick at 6.
He pulled out a blue Etnies hoodie and a plain white T shirt with a dark blue jeans and black Chuck Taylors.
'It's not a date so I'll go casual' he thought as he pulled off his shirt. He felt a five o' clock shadow on his face and shaved it off.
Laura saw the clock strike 6:25 and thought she'd better get ready so she pulled out a Red plaid mini skirt and black tights with a white tank top, a black jacket that stopped by her navel and red Chuck Taylors.
'Keep it plain and simple' she thought and washed her face.
'The strawberry sundaes!' she thought and hurried to the student grocery shop for ingredients.
She stood in line with only a handful of students and groaned as it still was too long to make it back to her dorm on time.
"Pleasure to see you here, Miss Kinney." A guy called out next to her in line.
She looked at his face and tried to remember it, he was handsome, definitely handsome, he had pin straight jet black hair (Like the lead singer of I See Stars) and light brown eyes, he had a handsome face and he wore a biker jacket with a white V- neck shirt and a black skinny and some Vans.
"You're Kenny, right?" She asked with a shy smile.
"Yeah, Kenny Strong, I'm in your class." He grinned.
"Oh yeah now I remember." Laura said with a small smile.
"Haha yeah…so what you doing here at this time, hardly anyone buys from this store?" He questioned and now stood next to her.
"Oh, I'm getting ingredients for strawberry sundaes." She said and stepped forward.
"Oh that's cool, hey don't worry, I'll buy your stuff for you." He smiled and took her grocery bag.
"Wait, you're not gonna pay for me are you?" She asked and gripped his arm.
"I will, only if you want me to." He said and smiled again.
"Oh, don't pay for me, I'll pay." She said and let go of his arm.
"Oh ok, not a problem." He smiled.
"Thanks." She whispered to him.
He nodded in agreement and then stepped forward to buy her stuff.
It wasn't long before he'd bought the ingredients and they were outside the small store and he handed her things over.
"Thanks again, Kenny." She smiled and gripped her stuff to her chest.
"It's always a pleasure for you Miss Kinney." He smiled and waved her goodbye as they parted ways.
She ran with her stuff and quickly walked into her dorm and set her stuff down on the counter.
She took her math stuff out with a smile and set it on the coffee table, she bunned her hair up and began making the strawberry sundaes.
She was in the middle of making her sundaes when a knock on the door was heard.
She wiped her hands and took off the apron Rena used and answered the door.
"Dante, uhh come in." She said with a shock.
"What, are you surprised to see me?" He asked with a smile and stepped in.
He examined her small yet comfortable room, two beds a small lounge and a bathroom and mini kitchen, neat he thought.
"Nice place you got here." He said and put his bag down.
"Thanks, you can sit if you want." She instructed while she went back to making the pair their sundaes. She put the apron on and began putting the whipped cream around the sundae.
"Wow, didn't know you could cook or even bake." He said behind her and made her jump.
"Yeah and you're in my space." She snapped back with a smirk.
"Hey, calm down I just wanted to help you know." He smiled.
"Well if you wanna help you can place the strawberries around the sundae and put on whatever else you want." She said and handed him the halved strawberries.
They worked in silence and quickly. 'MAN does this feel like a date!' Dante mentally yelled.
'Why does this feel so weird' she thought and they finished making the sundaes.
They sat down and started working with algebra and then moved on to trigonometry.
The tutoring went on for about an hour until they stretched their legs a bit and Dante walked out onto the balcony they had.
He took in the view but groaned after Laura told him they should get back to work.
'Workaholic!' he thought at first but then he thought that she actually really needed it.
They did a few more exercises when she actually nailed anything he threw at her.
"That's great, now just do a sum for each example I gave you and you'll know algebra like the back of your hand." He said and smiled.
He looked at her and smiled, she looked good tonight, she looked pretty with her hair bunned up, even if he thought her loose hair was better he still liked it, she was also wearing a very nice calm attire. That's when he said something quite sudden.
"You look great tonight, Laura." He smiled. He then frowned at what he'd just said even if it was true. Until he saw her expression he lightened up.
"You look great too, thanks." She smiled (She'd done that the whole night).
He did look great in normal clothes and even with his chest covered he looked nice, hot if she had to go that far.
"Haha thanks." He smiled. "S-So you get this now?" He asked not to arouse her suspicion.
"Yeah, thanks, you were a great help." She said and shifted uncomfortably.
"Not a problem." He said and stretched with his hands in the air and his V showing.
Laura looked the other way and stared out the huge window which led to the balcony.
He stood still and watched her face, the wind blew her bun loose and her hair flew back, she raised a hand coursed it through her silky strands of hair.
He couldn't help but stare and with a smile of all things. She looked back and noticed him staring but he didn't flinch.
"What?" She eyed him.
"Nothing, it's just that you're different from other girls I've met." He said honestly.
She blushed slightly and raised a brow.
"What makes you say that?" She asked suspiciously.
"I've never really argued much with a girl and you're not one of THOSE girls." He said nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"What do you mean THOSE girls?" She scowled.
"Stupid air head girls that stalk me or follow me or even think that I'm hot, and you're the only friend that makes me…nervous." He smiled slightly. "You're like much higher than that, I respect that a lot."
She smiled. "Yeah, you're not too bad for a friend yourself."
He chuckled and looked at the time which read 8:57.
"I gotta go now; I'm an early sleeper but not a light one." He chuckled and then helped her with the empty sundae glasses. "Thanks by the way, it was the best strawberry sundae I've ever tasted."
She smiled widely. "Thanks, I think it's the best I've made."
He chuckled lightly and noticed her smiling yet again. "Hey, before I go, you gotta tell me what's up with the smiling?" he asked with his hand on the doorknob.
"Well…I really enjoyed today that's all." She smiled again.
When she smiled again, it was different, this time her smile made his heart skip a beat.
He smiled and with a goodbye he quickly left the dorm of rabid young women, he even passed Rena who wondered what he was doing there.
'He's probably here to visit his girlfriend or something.' She shrugged and walked off to her dorm.
The rest of the week went on as normal, with the only thing different was the fact that Kenny was now making passes at Laura and some girl named Patty did the same to Dante. Pretty soon it was the weekend and the whole gang made a plan to go into town (They were allowed once every weekend) but it was cancelled due to the rain so Saturday they just hung around the small lake in the school.
Please review :) even if it's 1 it makes me happy :D P.S I wrote this like months ago so I'm sorry if there's any spelling and gramatical errors and stuff XD I'll try and update next week :)
