Another Chance
Thank you all for commenting on my previous chapters. Especially on Chapter 6 as it was a chapter which I spend quite some time and effort on to make it more interesting and exciting. Your reveiws have given me great support and I strive to continue to improve in my stories. However, for my next few chapters, I might take quite some time before I can upload them but I aim to upload at least a chapter every week.
Disclaimer: I don't own Chrono Crusade or any of it's characters.
Today is definitely not Chrono's best day. First, he overslept, then he was almost ran over by a hysterical Rosette who's late for her lesson. Next, he was teased by his only true friend in other words, Roy Smith, about fainting("Some true friend." muttered Chrono sarcastically.) while his fanclub harrassed him with inquiries about his health and introducing new members to him. There's still the incident in the hallway...
-flashback-
Chrono was talking with Roy and stretching his arms out when suddenly his hands came into contact with something squishy.
"PERVERT!HOW DARE YOU!" screamed Rosette.
"What did I do?!" asked Chrono.
"YOU TOUCHED MY CHEST! YOU PERVERT!"
"I didn't do it intentionally!"
"I DOUBT THAT!"
"IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE, YOU CAN ASK ROY!"
They both turned to where Roy was standing but instead they found nothing there.
"SEE! YOU DID IT INTENTIONALLY! THAT'S WHY EVEN YOUR BEST FRIEND DESERT YOU!"
"I DID NOT DO IT PURPOSELY!"
"YOU STILL DARE TO DENY IT?!"
Then to everyone's shock and horror, Magdalene High's richest,most popular,most chase after, most desired and most handsome guy got slapped and punched, right in the middle of the hallway, in front of fifty students, most of which were his fanclub,by a though pretty but petite blond who was not the most popular in school, not rich, hardly chased after, and most importantly, does NOT own a fanclub.
Of course, Chrono's fanclub straight away got ready their weapons, which comprised of make-up sets, lipsticks and bags, and were in war mode within three seconds. They were about to charge at Rosette(who calmly stood there with a I-am-not-afraid-of-you-so-you-dare-come-near-me-and-I-will-kill-you look) when they were stopped by Chrono raising his hand as a sign for them to stop, the other hand massaging the his right eye which now turned purple, and said with all the control he could muster to hold his temper, " I am a gentleman. And so I would not fight back this time round but if you dare to punch me again, you'll-"
"YOU STILL DARE TO THREATEN ME?!" Chrono was cut short by Rosette who screamed with an ear piercing voice at him.
Then she gave him a hard kick in his sensitive area and left, muttering angrily about rich idiots who take advantage of girls whenever they could and that all of them are perverts.
Roy had chose then to finally appear and apologise to a fuming Chrono for disappearing and that he had an urgent matter to attend to before he practically ran down the hallway.
-end of flashback-
Till now, Chrono could still feel pain in that area. He growned inwardly as he made his way to the canteen. Why hasn't school ended yet? thought Chrono miserably. It was then that he again bumped into something squishy. Chrono gorwned inwardly. Please don't tell me that I bumped into Rosette again. He braced himself for another punch which came one second later accompanied by a screaming voice.
"HOW DARE YOU MOLEST ME?!"
Even though Chrono was now busy trying to nurse his other eye which is by now swollen, he noticed something different about that voice. He tried to see through his swollen eyes and saw that it was the new transfer was her name again? Sa-something, wasn't it? Ah yes. Satella Harvenheit.
"I'm sorry but as you may or may not know,Miss Harvenheit, I was punched this morning in my right eye so I had a hard time to see my way around and it just so happened that my best friend deserted me." apologised Chrono, not even bothering to feel angry about being punched as he was now in so much pain from both eyes that he could hardly see or even be bothered. Maybe I should just go home. Why did I reject the idea when it was offered to me by the teachers? Now I have two black eyes. Great. Just great. "Molesting" TWO girls in the same day without even wanting to. Just perfect. Thought Chrono sarcastically.
"I AM NOT BLIND, YOU KNOW. I CAN SEE THAT YOUR OTHER EYE IS NOW SWOLLEN. WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW PERVERTED YOU ARE. IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO BUMP INTO MY CHEST! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU PRACTICALLY OWN THE SCHOOL, FROM WHAT MY CLASSMATES TELL ME."
Chrono growned inwardly. Great, now he even leaves a bad impression to new students. His life is definitely getting worse.
"AND DON'T THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME I WILL LET YOU OFF. YOU ARE A PERVERT !YOU ARE A P-E-R-V-E-R-T, PERVERT!"
With that she slapped him,punched him in the same eye again and stomped on his feet. Then, she left grumbling about things that he couldn't hear.
He won't be surprised if he died before he reach thirty at this rate. Shaking his head, he continued on his way to the canteen, hoping that he will not bump into anyone else's chest again this time.
"That pervert! Did you see what he do!?" said Rosette angrily to Azmaria. Joshua had went to find his friends for recess again.
When Azmaria didn't reply, Rosette looked over at her.
"Azmaria. Azzy. Earth to Azmaria!" said Rosette, waving a hand in front of Azmaria. Azmaria jolted and suddenly looked guilty.
"Huh? What were you saying again, Rosette? I'm sorry. I think I didn't hear you clearly just now." said Azmaria, still starring at wherever she was starring at before Rosette 'woke her up'.
" You weren't even listening! Why are you starring at Joshua?" asked Rosette, slanting her eyes to a slit and starring at Azmaria suspiciously, following Azmaria gaze and looked at Joshua.
"Huh? What? I.. I ... I.. uh.. I was ... uh... thinking about our project later. Because we are the in the same group, you see.." stuttered Azmaria.
"Azzy, Azzy... You totally suck at lying, you know? You don't actually like Joshua, do you?"
"What? uh..." Azmaria trailed off, blushing.
"Azzy! First that Chrono jerk and now Joshua!? You are joking, right?"
"Calm down, Rosette. I actually liked Joshua ever since fourth grade..."
"WHAT!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" screamed Rosette.
"Shhhhhhhhhh..." said Azmaria, blushing furiously as the whole canteen turned to see where the sharp scream came from.
"Oh. Opps. What are all of you staring at us for?! Never seen pretty girls before?!" shouted Rosette at them as the people quickly turned away since all of them knew how destructive Rosette can be especially thanks to that same morning's demonstration with Chrono.
"Rosette.." said Azmaria blushing.
"But.. But...You and my idiotic brother?! It doesn't make sense! "
"I know... but I really like him a lot and I really don't know how to go about it.."
"Then why did you join Chrono's fanclub?"
"Well.. That was a short infatuation... But I quit it already." replied Azmaria, blushing more and more.
"I see...So... does Joshua know?"
"No."
"Didn't you admit it to him?"
"No. You know my character...Besides, if I had told him, wouldn't he have said something about it to you?"
"Well, I don't know. Joshua and I used to share secrets when we were younger but these two years, we hardly did so anymore."
"Joshua, you have been starring at Azmaria for quite some time now, you know." said Justin, one of his best friends.
" 's up? What are you not telling us?" asked Arthur, his other best friend.
"Nothing." replied Joshua, taking his gaze off Azmaria.
"Are you sure? Cause' you have been starring at her for the past five minutes, looking like a love sick idiot."
"Oh... Joshua likes Azmaria..." teased Arthur.
"Well... yeah." admitted Joshua.
"WHAT?!" said both of his best friends in unison.
"If you missed it, that's too bad cause' I am not going to repeat what I had just said."
"No, we heard you, dude. But are you serious?"
"Cause' that girl is the third prettiest in the whole school, if you ask me, after that new transfer student and your sister who also happened to be the blond who punched the most popular guy in school this morning." chirped Arthur.
"Yes, guys. I am serious and Arthur, don't you think I know that?" said Joshua, annoyed.
"Well, We aren't sure whether you know that cause' you have always considered yourself more handsome than all other human beings in the whole school and secondly, you have such a stubborn brain that you will not agree that your sister is by far much more prettier than you will ever be handsome." replied Arthur.
"My sister is NOT pretty."
"But you just agreed that Azmaria is the third prettiest in the whole school after your sister and the new transfer student!"
"That was... Ack! Forget it! Can't we just change the topic?"
"Nope."
"Never."
"No chance of it."
" Won't even think about it."
"Just shut up, you all two."
"No way. We are your friends so we are suppose to stick our nose into your business, remember?"
"So when did you start liking her?"
"Will you ask her out soon?"
"How much do you like her?"
"What do you like most about her?"
"JUST SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU!"
"Yes, sir." replied Arthur and Justin as they pretended to salute Joshua.
"I swear that both of you will be the death of me. I don't know why I ever considered you my best friends. And don't bother answering that question. " snapped Joshua to both of them before he walked away, leaving his friends in the canteen.
"What's his problem, man."
"I don't know. You will never understand a guy who's in love."
"I agree." said Arthur, nodding his head in agreement and stood up when he bumped into someone.
"Hey, are Arthur, right? My name is Brad. I have been observing you for quite some time. Would you like to go out on a date with me?" asked Brad as he helped Arthur up from the ground and continue holding Arthur's hand even after Arthur stood up.
"Yikes! Nonono. I am not going out of the cabinet. Justin! " shouted Arthur to Justin pleadingly as he tried to save his hand from Brad's grasp. Unfortunately, all Justin could do was to laugh at Arthur hysterically.
"What kind of friend are you!?" shouted Arthur to Justin as Justin ran away, seeing that Arthur will murder him once he escapes from the very gay Brad.
"..."
"Ack!" shouted Arthur in frustration as he punched Brad with his other hand and ran after Justin.
That's the end of the chapter. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
