Chapter 22
`Lavi
School started again and it became more interesting than before. Kanda is much grumpier than usual due to what happened the other day which is why it's fun to tease him.
Class was somehow boring. Class is always boring.
There is nothing really new and interesting.
The only things fun and interesting are the activities coming up. We're having a festival in school.
Our class is going to do a horror house which is so fun. Kanda suits it well too. His glares are enough to scare people.
He just didn't like being a part of it though and tried making excuses but none of it were successful.
I invited my family. They're going to go in the afternoon. Lenalee is coming too around lunch time. Allen invited her.
Kanda is dressed as a samurai and looks like a murderer with the way his eyes and expression look at you. The horror house was a hit thanks to him.
I'm a dead pirate to suit the eye patch I'm wearing. I'm not that scary though as he is.
This is really fun.
Everyone's having fun.
"Hey, Lavi. There's this little girl looking for you. You sure she should be here? The place might scare her. She's with her mother who's looking terrified already."
"Road won't be scared. She's a brave little girl. Take over, will you? It's time to meet up with my family," I said while leaving.
"Family?" I heard him say with doubt.
I chuckled. I know that already. I don't really look anything similar to them. I'm not even related to them but they're my family.
I walked over to the entrance and found Tyki-nii instead with Road instead of Auntie Tricia.
"Hello! Where's Auntie Tricia? I thought she was here awhile ago."
"Uncle Sheryl brought her to a different place to calm her nerves."
"Let's play, Lavi," said Road with excitement as she dragged my hand. "I saw this game where you throw darts at balloons. The darts were really cute. They look like candles on a cake. And the balloons were quite unusual."
"Okay, we'll play there."
"I'll be going then, Lavi. Aunt Tricia and Uncle Sheryl are over there."
"Okay."
Tyki-nii left. Road and I went to the stall she wanted to go to.
`Allen
Our class did a cafe for the festival. I was dressed in formal clothing and chosen as a waiter.
I'm really hungry though. When is my shift going to end?
"Hi Allen!"
"Hi Lenalee."
"Where's Lavi and Kanda?"
"I don't know about Kanda but Lavi is still in his shift. He'll be with Road later. He's coming over here after that."
"So it's the two of us for lunch today."
"I guess so."
"Let's look for Kanda first than have lunch."
"Okay, I'll just tell them that I'm leaving."
I went to the back and told them.
"You're going with that girl? She's real cute. How'd you get her?"
"She's my friend. Don't say things like that," I said and left him.
"Everything fine back there? I heard raised voices."
"Everything's fine," I said while smiling like the usual as we started looking for Kanda. I didn't bother with my classmates' teasing. Nothing will come out of it anyway.
`Tyki
I left early today to meet up with someone. The said person didn't give me a name but we'll be meeting up later by a restaurant. I know I should be suspicious but I needed the information.
I'll be taking the risks. Nothing will happen if I just sit and wait for it to fall on my desk. That's not going to happen. I should be doing something.
Sitting outside the restaurant, I waited for the person to arrive.
Ordering a drink, I took a sip and let time pass by.
What's taking so long? Half an hour has already passed.
I was about to leave until I felt a hand on my shoulder which made me look up in surprise.
I had not expected that it was her.
"Lulubell?"
"Follow me."
`Lavi
After playing with Road, I brought her back to Uncle Sheryl and Auntie Tricia. I spent some time with them until they left.
I joined Allen, Kanda and Lenalee who were roaming around the school.
"Hello Allen, Lenalee and Yuu!" I said while waving my hand at them.
"Hi Lavi! Where's your family?"
"They already left. Mind if I joined you guys?"
"Of course you can."
"So where are you headed this time?"
"We're heading to a few stalls then after that we're going to Kanda's place."
"Can I come?"
"Don't mess things up," said Kanda with a glare.
"Thanks, Yuu."
"Don't call me that."
"Lavi," said Lenalee. Her face looked worried.
"What's wrong, Lenalee?"
"You sure you want to come? Daisya is Kanda's older brother."
"I'm not related to that clown."
"Kanda, don't talk that way."
I paused.
I guess it was a weird reaction coming from me but I'm not going to back down.
I can't always live with these insecurities.
I should face them so I smiled cheerfully like the usual at Lenalee.
"Don't worry too much, Lenalee. I'm going to be fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You're just worrying too much. Let's go then."
