- A Beautiful Tomorrow - An Ambient Generation
. . . Kiss of a Rose . . .
Wow thanks for the reviews you guys! Over 120! I never knew I'd get so much! This one chappy here a bit cliché and corny. But I'm sure you'll like it just as much as I did writing it. Yuri finally realizes how stupid his friends are, and he still has to pick on Alice. But something happens towards the end of this chapter, and I can't tell ya!
After Alice got home from school, she immediately took a two hour cold shower. It was Monday and she had totally forgotten that Mondays meant tutoring. Stepping out of the bathroom, Alice heard a weird noise coming from downstairs. After listening intently for a few minutes, she realized that it was a door.
Wrapped only in a towel, Alice began frantically looking for something to pull on. She was struggling to put on a skirt when her eyes fell on her bathrobe. Grabbing it, Alice hurriedly pulled it on and tied the rope as she ran down the stairs. Without thinking, without even looking through the peephole, she thrust the door open.
Yuri looked her up and down.
Uh oh.
Alice managed a "Hold on." before slamming the door back in his face.
"What the heck" She murmured anxiously. "I can't leave him out there while I change"
She opened the door swiftly. "Um, do you mind waiting in the living room? I uh, have to go change."
Yuri stared at her before shrugging. She let him walk past her before she shut the door and hurried upstairs.
I can't believe I forgot all about tutoring, Alice thought hurriedly. Once she got in her room, she grabbed her skirt again, pulled it on, pulled out a clean, long sleeved light lavender shirt from her drawers and put it on. She surveyed herself in horror.
Her hair was a total mess. She looked like a... a doused rat. Not even bothering to blow dry her hair, Alice combed her hair and pulled it up in a loose pony tail.
She was about to leave her room when she remembered the welt. It was a faint purple color now.Alice sighed with exasperation before grabbing the concealer and swiping it once at her cheek. With her fingers, she smoothed it out evenly.
The purple welt showed up again. Alice let out a low cry of frustration before stomping out of her room. She found Yuri looking at the pictures above the fireplace.
"Your dad" He inquired blankly.
Alice nodded. "Yeah."
"Where is he" He turned to face her.
She paused"With God."
Yuri gave a soft derisive snort but didn't say anything.
Alice ignored it"Well come on."
"Mhm." He said, following her to the dining room.
Alice sat down at the end of the table and waited for him to take his seat at the other end. To her surprise, he took the seat diagonal from her. His brown eyes stared at her challengingly, as if daring her to tell him to move.
She let it past. He was acting more like his haughty self.
Thank goodness, She thought. She didn't exactly feel like getting all buddy buddy with him. He wasn't her type.
"Miss Iasant has an upcoming test on" she started.
"I know." he cut her off.
Alice took a deep breath. "So, I'm just going to try to help you get ready for"
"So start already."
She looked at him.
He stared back.
Alice bit her lip. He really pushed her buttons. "ANY way." she said loudly. "I'm going to start with reviewing with you the important"
"Events." Yuri finished off.
"Yes." Alice said stiffly"Because those are usually what the questions are based on"
"Elliot, why do you waste your time" He interrupted.
"Huh" He had caught her off guard.
"Why do you WASTE your TIME" he repeated.
Alice glared at him. "What do you mean why am I wasting my time" She demanded.
"I mean, you're not only wasting your time, but mine too."
"Y-you" She fumed.
"Right." He drawled"Right."
Alice bit down on her tongue furiously. "Are you acting like this because of what happened"
"What" His eyes widened innocently.
"Yeah." She spat"You're just trying to be extra... extra rude because you want to cover up for helping me"
"That's a lie." He said flatly.
"That's IT isn't it" Her blue eyes flashed"Well you didn't HAVE to help me. You could've walked away."
"Well helping you was just the right thing to do." Yuri retorted, flushing slightly.
"Yeah, it WAS the right thing." Alice snapped"But this is ME and YOU we're talking about. You know the freak and the star fighter? You know, star of the school"
"No. Sorry." Yuri turned his face away from her.
"Then stop being such a jerk"
"I've always been a jerk. To you especially."
Alice slammed her book shut. "You know what? I didn't think this is going to work."
"Been thinking that since we ever started." Yuri said casually.
Fury was building in her chest rapidly. Her mouth wavered as if she was about to scream at him.
Instead, as calmly as she could, Alice said; "This tutor session is over."
"It never started." Yuri got up and exited the room.
Alice listened as Yuri's footsteps died away and the front door bang open and slammed shut.

"HEY MAN"
"Hey, c'mon in, dude."
"Sup, Yuri my man. Where you been"
"Yeah, where you been dawg" Lenny asked trying to act cool.
Yuri accepted his friend's welcomes and slid into an empty seat. "Been busy." He finally said.
"With what? School" Halley joked.
"Yeah."
They all looked at him before cracking up.
"Oh, you're just pulling our leg." Another friend said scuffing the back of his head.
Yuri didn't want to pursue the topic and said"Yeah. I am."
"So anyways, let's go to the arcade after school tomorrow." Halley suggested"I wanna catch up on ROAD BURNER"
"No way man! Tomorrow's Wednesday." Joshua argued"School night."
"Aww, Joshua can't go cuz it's a school night." Halley gloated, slapping high fives with the other guys.
"Nah. I gotta baby-sit this lil' shit."
More laughter.
"That's new... BABYSITTER. Man Joshua your parents SUCK."
Yuri just sat there and listened to them talk.
"So anyways, I got this new chick right? Her names Chris, right" Halley said"And over the weekends we were shaking it up man."
"Who'd want you and your pencil dick" Wugui joked.
Yuri was growing slightly annoyed as they started cracking up again.
Such fuckin' losers.
"Dude, all the chicks want me. Pencil dick or not." Halley laughed.
"Pin dick, more like it." Yuri muttered.
Halley turned to him"What man? Didn't catch that."
"Nothing."
"Yeah... she has a nice rack." Halley continued again.
"Dude, I bet ALL those chicks with nice racks are fake, man." Another guy stated.
"No way, man! My girl is 100 real" Halley insisted widely.
"100"
"We-e-e-l-l... 99."
They all laughed. Again.
"Yeah" Joshua agreed. "I only trust the ones with the small boobs. I don't like 'em, but I trust 'em."
More laughter.
"That's cold. Dude, some girls DO have real racks."
"Some."
"Yeah, everyone one out of 20."
"When you guys say 'nice rack'" Yuri spoke up. "Do you mean like… Ds"
They all looked at him.
"Duh, Hyuga."
"Yeah, you should know, Yuri."
"Yeah! My man Yuri bangs once every Friday, right Yuri"
They laughed and Yuri was completely silent.
"Who was the chick last Friday"
"Not Karin... definitely not Karin. Man, Karin went home with CONRAD." Gagged Joshua.
"Where the hell is Conrad, anyways" Halley asked.
"Conrad's out trying to get laid."
"Yeah, prolly scoring some fat chicks right now."
"Man. I hate doing fat chicks." Halley wagged his tongue out obscenely.
Yuri stood up finally. "I gotta go."
They all looked at him.
"Already" Another one inquired.
"Uh yeah. I needa go get something from Hallmark for my mom." He wasn't exactly lying. Mothers' day was coming up.
"Aw, Yuri's' a momma's boy."
"Yeah, we'll be seeing you later, dawg." Lenny held his hand out; Yuri ignored it, embarrassing Lenny greatly.
Yuri nodded his head and left. He didn't know what it was. Maybe something was wrong with him. Maybe he was maturing or something. But…
His friends were such losers. Such dorks.
Yuri didn't know why, but it was starting to appeal to him what they talked about was boring, annoying and old.
He sighed and got into his car. He might as well get his ass to Hallmark and get his mom something.
-
Yuri ran into none other than his oh-so-smart tutor.
Right when he was leaving Hallmark with his mothers' gift at his side. He saw her and she sort of saw him to. Alice was holding a Foleys bag in her right hand.
For a second they just looked at each other when finally, Yuri gave her one of his famous smirks which caused her to glare at him, before she turned away looking straight ahead and crossing the street.
Maybe if that retard had looked BOTH ways before crossing, he wouldn't have to abruptly turn back when he heard a—
Beeeeeeeep
Yuri's head whipped around, a yellow taxi cab was driving down the street, probably at 70-75 MPH and by the time the van slowed down, it would be too late.
Much too late.
Alice stood in the middle of the street, gaping at the van like some deer caught in headlights.
"Fuck." Yuri cursed as he ran towards Alice and shoved her aside roughly.
They both went tumbling.
When they finally came to a stop, Yuri found that Alice was lying on top of him. Her blonde hair was all over his face. He didn't exactly mind, her hair smelled like baby shampoo or something. For a second, her body lay motionless and Yuri thought she was dead or something. Until a low moan escaped from her lips.
Slowly, Alice pulled herself off.
"Are you alright" A panic stricken lady ran up to them, with her cell phone out"Sweet heart! Speak to me! Are you alright"
Yuri pulled him self up into a sitting position, rubbing the back of his neck. When they fell, his head had hit the ground pretty hard.
"I'm... I'm fine." He heard Alice say weakly.
"Should I call the police! I have the crazy cabs license! Should I"
"No." Alice cut her off"No, its okay. I'm fine. Thank you."
The lady turned to Yuri"Are YOU alright? Thank God you were fast enough"
She looked at Alice, who was also rubbing the side of her cheek. "You should thank him. He saved your life"
Their eyes briefly met before Yuri looked away.
"Its okay, no problem." He muttered, getting up.
More people were coming, pressing in around Alice and asking if she was okay. Yuri decided now was the best time to leave. His eyes scanned the area and he spotted the Hallmark bag. Surprisingly, none of its contents had fallen out, even though it was resting on its side.
He grabbed it and started walking back to the Malls' parking lot.
"Yuri…"
He was about to keep going and not look, but he did anyways, for some reason.
"Thank You." Alice silently mouthed before the people closed in again.
Yuri saves the day once again! Told ya it was cheesy. But in a good way. I had to make Lenny and Wugui some of the friends because, well they're both weird lookin' and "loser-ish" to me. XD
I seemingly called Yuri a retard in the chapter. I have my way with words. A-ha-ha.
There is still time to vote for more Lucia or more Margarete. Lucia is in the lead right now but I still want to know. After this chapter it's finally time to reveal! So come on guys! The luscious babe Lucia? Or the hawt piece of ass Margarete?
Okay I have to get ready for my college entrance exams, here's some words for my followers, erm uh reviewers
Pyaara Wala – The save wasn't the only one! They won't get together anytime soon either by the looks of it. And Karin got what she deserved. I admire her character in the game, but I just felt like making her a bitch. Haha
Asnee – Polite guys are so cute! I knew something was up with that bint Nicholai all along! I looked in his profile while he was still being "nice." Ha-ha-ha I can't the game spoiled it's self!
aegis - I wouldn't slap you! I slapped him. My sweet, don't think such things! Lucia or Margarete? You didn't say. You ruin my future:P
Bella – I'm hot- blush - Ooooh come on. I'm a mutt though! I'm not supposed to be hot. I'm supposed to be a scientific experiment created by my Japanese mother and Russian father. I'm a mere study to them! They do tests on me on stuff… okay j/k! XD They love me. Alright I get SO off track. Karin's still going to be the popular bitch unfortunately and she thinking Nicholai is so "great" is a bit dangerous. But she's stupid, what can I say? I didn't want to be cruel to make Alice get raped, so she didn't, but it's still tragic. – sniff - Love ya!
Angelic Kamaria – You don't wanna know what they did! I made people think on what they did in the cab. Ha-ha. Look Yuri saved Alice again. Awww
Kendra – Nicholai has his ways with Karin. Yes, icky icky lad is he. And no, Alice is way too shy to join the squad, so it's not what I had in mind. But that's an interesting idea. I believe Margarete and Lucia are just going to stick up for her now. Hmmm you may never know what goes on between Nicholai and Karin, just have to wait and see!
KallenKoenig - So you don't care what I did to Karin…? Phew!
MikoNoNyte – Nah, not any kids that I know of would hide attempted rape. I'm just making Alice that way in the story. So don't get angry, it's just for the story!
Roxsheena – Of course Yuri was there to save her, who else? .- Give me a souvenir from your vacation! j/k hehe
Forever Tiger – Don't worry, love. I'll update BBAN when I can! I will! I will! Viva la BBAN. Okay I'm hyper right now. Karin's not out of the plot yet, so BEWARE! Yes another vote for Lucia. I know where this is going. And never fear, I'll read your drabbles! I love those lil' thingers…. And you!
psychedelic aya – Hey you! Well, I'm glad you finally reviewed your thoughts. That's always nice. XD Yuri's funny, eh? Yes mean people can be amusing, just because of their… cruelness! Thanks for the review, I was wondering if you were reading this or not.
