Chapter 16

`Lavi

Tomorrow I'll be starting school. Everything had been arranged, no more complications with my transfer. I had already taken the test and aced it. It wasn't really that hard compared to what Bookman had me learn.

I am only fifteen years old and next year I'd be at my senior year. I accelerated for two years but nobody will notice that I'm younger then them. I'm quite tall for my age and can pass off as a seventeen year old just fine.

The school isn't that far so I can walk going there and back. It's not exclusive for any gender or race. It's private yes but international. It isn't too expensive for me since I got a scholarship. Bookman had arranged for everything.

I'm a transferee and will have to finish the second semester before being a senior. I know already where the school is but Uncle Sheryl offered to drop me off on my first day. And we had an agreement that I would pick up Road from school during Mondays to Thursdays. Tyki-nii will be the one picking us up during Fridays.

I would have been almost late for my first day in school but thanks to an excited Road, she woke me up when I slept pass the time that alarm had went off. I hurriedly took a bath, changed clothes, grabbed my things then rushed downstairs where they were all almost finished eating. I sat on the chair dropping my bag by the side and ate hurriedly. After ten minutes, we all got in the car then dropped Road to school first. After that, I was dropped to my own school while Uncle headed to work after dropping Tyki-nii off to the university. He's already going to be at his senior year too by next year.

Getting into class, I reached it before the bell rang. Everyone was already seated in class except for me. The teacher introduced me first then sat me at the back near the window next to a guy who had long hair. He's Japanese, aged around seventeen, probably taller than me by a few millimeters. I sat on the empty chair and greeted him with a bright smile. He merely scowled then ignored me. I later found out his name is Kanda Yuu.

Normally, any person who is treated rudely that way would have backed off and ignored him as well but 'Lavi' had an unexpected character, so outgoing that he won't let things like that bother him. When Lavi tried calling out to him, he was merely ignored so Lavi decided to call him by his first name which suddenly irritated the Japanese.

"Don't call me that," he threatened.

"Why, Yuu-chan?" I further teased. This was getting really interesting for 'Lavi'.

"I said stop that."

"Why should I, Yuu-chan?"

It seems as if hell broke loose. Kanda ran after Lavi with threats to kill him. Lavi though merely ignored those comments and further teased Kanda.

Some of my classmates were amused by the unexpected happening while others stood out of the way in fear that Kanda might run after them after burying me alive.

The chase only stopped after our teacher stopped us. Well that is after Tiedoll-sensei stopped us. The other teachers weren't able to stop Kanda. I also learned that it was because he was Kanda's adoptive father.

The next class started then school ended when the bell rang. The class representative gave me a list of clubs that I may join this school year that I have to decide on by tomorrow. I scanned through the list while heading to Road's school.

She's in middle school right now and seems to get along well with her schoolmates as I saw her getting out the gates. Her friends said goodbye then we walked home with a cheerful Road telling the funny things that happened in her school.

The next day, classes ended fast and now it's time to go to our clubs. I looked through the list well and thought of joining the Photography club. I don't really feel like joining any club that's too strenuous. I talked about it with Uncle Sheryl and Auntie Tricia. They were fine with it and lent me a camera. It isn't much but it will do.

Entering the room, there weren't really that many students. There are only around ten. Most were busy doing there own thing as I walked inside. The teacher in charge took note that I joined then did his own things.

'Lavi' now wondered who should he hang out with. Everyone already knows each other. Nobody would really remember me from back. It had been a lot of years. There aren't actually a lot from my previous school. There were only around five that I saw. The others, I don't really recognize. Well, that isn't a problem since I don't have to face anyone from the past.

I looked around and saw a kid by the corner fixing the lens of his camera. He has unexpectedly unusual white hair. Anyone would have thought he was an old man if they didn't see his face. And another thing curious about him is the inverted pentacle near his eye. I really am curious now so I walked towards him.

'Lavi' seemed to be bored with the usual approach so he sneaked behind the kid and surprised him.

"Ahh!" said the kid as he almost dropped the lens.

"Hello! What's your name? I'm Lavi."

"It's Allen. May I ask though why you needed to do that?"

"I was just bored."

"You're the transferee, right?"

"Yeah. So can you teach me how to work on something like that? I haven't really used one like this."

"Huh? You joined this club yet you don't exactly know how to use this?"

"I'm a fast learner."

"I guess I can teach you."

"Thanks, Allen."
