Chapter 3: Saved by the bell…Not

Alice ran and ran as fast as she could down the hallways. Students pressed against the lockers to avoid the slime balls that were aimed for her. "I didn't do anything wrong!" cried Alice. The guys who were chasing her just laughed. "What would you know? You insulted Blood on the first day of school!" shouted one of the boys. Alice went into deep thought. Aaron… I know you're organized and neat and everything like that; not to mention good manners. How did you get yourself into this?

Alice tripped as one slime ball hit her in the back of her legs. She held her breath as the smell reached her nose. "Ugh, at least it could've been water!" She hurried around another corner of the hall before opening and closing a door to an elaborate room. She hid behind the door.

"Where did he go?"

"I-I don't know! I saw him go down this hallway though!"

"You idiot!" Alice heard a few splatters of the slime balls before the boys retreated away. The bell finally rang and next period was starting. She sighed. "I thought I was a goner."

"And now you'll be a goner," said a boy. "Peter!" gasped Alice. She turned around to look properly at where she was standing. A bunch of students, probably about ten of them, were in the room. It looked like they were holding a meeting. "Aaron, you're disrupting the student council meeting," said Gray. Alice turned her head and saw Gray sitting near the head of the table. His name card holder said 'Vice-President'. Alice broke into a nervous sweat, realizing the situation she might be getting her brother into. "Aaron?" Gray looked at him sternly with a look that said 'go away'.

"What's that smell?" Alice looked at another good looking boy that was at the center of the head table. He had long navy-blue hair and stylish thick black framed glasses. He glared at Alice. "You," Alice trembled. "Go shower," finished the boy. She looked at him, confused. "What?"

"Aaron, I think you have something on your leg," said Nightmare. He was also at the table, showing a look of disgust. Alice looked down and covered her face, which turned bright red. "I'm sorry, I'll be going then!" Right before she opened the door, Peter stopped her. "Don't forget to greet your senpai good-bye." His red eyes pierced her teals eyes, making her nervous. "Who?"

"It's fine Peter, let him go," muttered the boy with long navy hair. Then she realized. "Oh! I'm sorry Julius-senpai for disturbing your meeting. I'll be going," squeaked Alice. She bowed and ran out the door. Julius just frowned and seemed to be lost in deep thought. "Julius? You okay?" asked Gray.

"I'm fine… that was Aaron Liddell?" asked Julius.

"Ye-yeah," stuttered Gray. "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, let's continue with the meeting."

Alice ran down the hallway again and into the bathroom. She slammed a stall open and sat there. "I can't do this," she whispered. One thing for sure was that Blood looked exactly like her ex-boyfriend and was out to get her—Aaron. Second, she was being bullied by Boris in her class and doing double the classwork. Third, she had to act like a boy!

"Okay, one more period and then school will be finished. I'm definitely killing Aaron when I see him later!" muttered Alice. As soon as she opened the stall, two girls gaped at her. "Excuse me?" asked Alice. The girls just screamed and yelled things like 'weirdo' and 'pervert'. Then she realized again as she made her second mistake. She was in the girl's bathroom wearing her brother's uniform.

"Liddell, may I ask why you are late?" asked the teacher. Alice walked into the room with her bottom parts of the pants wet with water and soap. "I-I…" Alice didn't know how to explain it.

"He was the one in the girl's bathroom!" cried a girl with brown hair. She blushed and turned away. Alice recognized her face and turned away. The whole class started laughing except for Nightmare who kept his stoic face. She blushed hard and just sat in her seat… which was unfortunately in the front of the class so everyone could see her.

As soon as she sat, the chair gave way and broke. Alice groaned and looked at the teacher who was not happy. Boris was laughing the hardest. Hmph! He's obviously the culprit… "Liddell, detention!" shouted the teacher. He gave a menacing look before leaving the room to fill the paper work. "Good job Liddell," laughed Boris. Alice just fumed and yelled at him. "WHAT DID I DO TO YOU? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS SCHOOL?" She just screamed at him, causing the whole class to become silent, watching the situation. Boris was shocked.

"I see that you can't answer me!" shouted Alice. She tried her best to restrain her voice in order to keep a boy voice. She grabbed her bag and left the room. Ace was close the classroom and entered it with 30 shocked students with their mouths opened. "What did I miss?"

Alice felt tears gushing out of her eyes. She never felt this embarrassed before. Even though people bullied her in public school, they only did verbal bullying; not much of physical bullying.

She walked to the nearest bus stop and went to the hospital. As soon as Alice walked into Aaron's room she cried and threw her shoe at him. "Ow! What was that for onee-chan?"

"You're stupid! I hate you! You made my life miserable!" cried Alice. She picked up the shoe and threw it at the sick patient again who groaned as it hit his broken leg.

"Miserable? My life was already miserable even before the accident!"

"Why didn't you tell me any of this? How can you go to school every day knowing those people are there?"

"Well sorry I didn't tell you onee-chan!" spat Aaron. "Anyways, it was your own decision to—" Aaron stopped talking as a nurse came in to give medicine. "Aaron?" she held her head and passed out.

"Take off that uniform onee-chan!" Alice looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she looked exactly like her brother, but healthier.

"It's not my fault," muttered Aaron. Alice sat in normal girl clothes and frowned. "How was I supposed to know all of this? You should've told me! At least I could've been prepared to fight that bast—"

"WHO?" His eyes went big. "Are you talking about Blood-senpai?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Avoid him at all costs!"

Alice scoffed. "Too late for that! I'm basically his enemy!" Aaron groaned. "I told you to avoid him! I-I did something that pissed him off on the first day of school."

"Honestly, what did you do? Tell me everything so I don't come unprepared tomorrow!" growled Alice. Sighing in defeat Aaron told her the truth about his school life. About an hour later he finished.

"That's what happened?" said Alice with a blank stare. "Yup… I accidently stepped on his 'new' shoes," said Aaron. Alice's eyes grew fire. "I'm getting revenge for you! That's so stupid! It's just shoes!"

"But they were high class expensive shoes from France! This is a rich kid's school onee-chan!"

"So what if it is? They can't treat you like that! I'm getting revenge, no matter what," said Alice. He sighed once again. "Kami-sama, please save the both of us…"

Oh ho ho! xD What will Alice do now? Hmm... revenge is sweet, but so is romance :) See what happens as Julius realizes something about "Aaron"!

Thanks for reading and please REVIEW! ;D
