the3leonine- heh, he'll get his clothes back. (insert creeper face) XD
fairygirl90- O.o I'm sorry that you don't like Kanda as a bully, are you a Yullen fan by any chance? Kanda just seems like a misunderstood person to me... But don't worry! He won't be Allen's bully for long.
Guest- Thanks!
I've had writer's block for a while now... D: it was horrible! I'm gonna try to write in everyone's pov in the next chapter, but I think I'm much more used to writing in one character's pov cause I can focus on their emotions only...
Allen pov.
As soon as I approached the front door of Black Order High, the bell rang, the chiming sound resonating throughout the large building. I sighed and quickened my pace. I wouldn't have rushed if I had Ms. Lotto first period, but she was out sick so Mr. Robins had to cover for her. That guy could be a nasty person to deal with in the morning if you came in late.
My hand brushed the classroom door and I felt someone come up behind me. Before I could react, the person had covered my eyes with their hands, making me almost stumble over. For some reason I was feeling brave and asked, "Is that you Lavi?" Him being the only playful person I know, I automatically assumed it was the impish red head.
Immediately I realized my mistake when I noticed how small and soft the person's hands were. Oh it's-
"Lenalee!" I called out to correct myself and felt my face heat up in embarrassment.
"Yup, that's me. By the way...I love the baggy shirt look, Allen." I heard her giggle slightly as her hands still covered my eyes, I grasped around blindly and groped the air like an idiot.
"Oh, sorry about that." I muttered, blushing from my slip up.
"Right...so who's Lavi?" She asked suspiciously with a playful undertone before tensing up all of a sudden. "...Wait, isn't that Mr. Bookman's first name?" Lenalee gasped, freeing her hands from my eyes to clap them over her mouth.
Jeez, now she'll never leave me alone about this. Wait! I have nothing to hide or feel guilty about! It's not like we're doing anything, right? He just took me to the hospital... Then his house... Then we slept togeth- NO! Stop right there Allen.
"Are you two...dating? How sweet! A forbidden relationship!" She gushed.
"What? No! It's not like that!" I shouted and blushed a bright red.
I turned around to see Lenalee smirking at me, though when she saw my bruises her face fell.
"What happened to your cheek Allen?" She knitted her eyebrows.
Ah... What should I say? She wouldn't accept some lame excuse like 'I fell down the stairs.' I sighed and shrugged, deciding to tell her the truth.
"Bully problems, don't worry I can handle it."
I saw Lenalee's face contort in anger before sighing and nodding gravely at me. I could tell it hurt her a lot to let something like this go so easily. "Okay...I believe you can handle it. Here, let me give you my phone number just in case." She mumbled, digging through her bag. I nodded and beamed at her. One thing I like about Lenalee, she trusts your judgement. I flashed a smile and gave her a hug.
"Okay, just... Let me know if it happens again." She whispered solemnly before giving me a small wave and walking to her class. After she left I briefly wondered if Kanda had seen that... I didn't need anymore bruises...
I slumped against the nearest wall I could find. I had hell to pay just now for being late to class.
"Oh Allen-chan~" I heard someone call to me in a sing song voice. I groaned because I knew it well by now.
"Yes Lavi?" I rolled my eyes. He's JUST the person I need right now.
"Hey we're in school, it's Mr. Bookman remember!" He teased. He was also leaned against the wall, but for a different reason. He had a giant stack of papers towering in front of him.
"A little help please?" He murmured pleadingly, struggling under the weight of the papers.
I stifled a laugh then took some off of the pile.
"Phew! Thanks, you saved my ass! We're taking these to principal Komui's office. He made me do all of his paperwork, the jerk." He muttered bitterly.
"By the way..." He trailed off and I inwardly groaned. I don't like where this is going.
"I'm curious... who's this person that's bullying you hmm?" The red head spoke nonchalantly.
"Curiosity killed the cat." I muttered, refusing to tell him anything.
"But satisfaction brought it back. C'mon, I need to know... I can help!" He pleaded, swaying back and forth like a small child.
I couldn't hold it in and laughed. I've never met anyone as carefree as Lavi, and I don't think i've ever seen him upset or sad. I haven't known him for very long either, but I bet he can cheer anyone up with that goofy smile.
He noticed that I was scrutinizing him and he looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"So, will you tell me or..." He trailed off.
"Lavi, I don't think you can do anything... I've tried telling Kanda- Ah!" I snapped my mouth shut at the last moment before sneaking a glance over at Lavi.
Did he hear that?
"Hmm. Kanda, huh?" He smirked, his mouth widening into a twisted grin.
Yup, he heard it.
I sighed and facepalmed. I basically just told on him! I turned to Lavi, who was still smiling creepily.
"Don't do anything stupid, it was an accident that I let his name slip. I can handle him on my own."
Because you've been handling it soooo well. "Sure, sure." He mumbled as we approached what seemed to be the principal's office. I scowled as I handed the papers over to Lavi, knowing full well he won't heed my warning or listen to a word I say. It's like he has a one track mind.
"Where's the library? I have your stupid book report to complete." I asked, still a little ticked off.
"Hmm...?" The red head hummed as he tried to jiggle the doorknob open."Oh. Down the hall to the left, there's a room next to the staircase that leads to the library." He pointed. "A special short cut of mine~"
I nodded and followed his directions, smirking as I heard the flapping of stacks of paper flying to the ground and a loud curse emanate from behind me. Lavi groaned and glared at the giant pile of papers that had toppled and fell to the floor.
"Ugghh..." He bent down and started picking them up and organizing them once more, grumbling as he did. Then a small smirk crossed his face.
I finally know the guy's name who's been bullying Allen! However, there could be more than one Kanda in this school. Is that even really his name? Maybe I misheard Allen. Being Bookman's apprentice, Lavi had to consider all these things. Nope. I distinctly heard 'Kanda.' Lavi thought as he picked up the last sheet of paper and entered Komui's office.
One things for sure though... I want to learn a little bit more about Allen~
Said white haired teen was trekking down the hallway, admittedly a little lost.
"Where did Lavi say to turn again...? This school is like a maze." He muttered nervously. He wasn't particularly good with directions...
Allen was throwing glances over his shoulder the whole time, unaware that there was clearly someone in front of him.
"I know he said turn lef- oof!" Allen face planted into someone's chest. When he got his wits together and looked up at who he bumped into, he gulped as soon as they made eye contact.
He was a genuinely handsome man with black hair, darkish skin, and a foreign looking demeanor. The man laughed at the young teen's expression. "Are you okay? You look a little lost there."
The man himself was mostly curious about the white hair, gloves, and... was that a scar or a tattoo?
Allen blushed red at the man's unwavering stare and cleared his throat to get his attention.
"Um, yes I'm a bit lost. Would you please tell me where the library is Mr... Um...?"
The man flashed a smile and extended a hand for Allen to shake.
"Just call me Tyki." Allen took the man's hand and gave it a firm shake before walking along the hallway with him.
"I haven't seen you around, are you a new teacher here?" Allen asked curiously. Tyki chuckled a bit then placed a hand on Allen's head, ruffling his hair.
"I'm looking to become a full time teacher here. I know quite a bit about history, young man."
Allen puffed out his cheeks, he didn't like being treated as a child. Tyki noticed this and removed his hand gingerly. Still grumbling a bit Allen asked, "If you're going to be a new teacher, how do you know where the library is?"
Tyki seemed to ponder this for a bit before coming up with a reply. "Let's just say I know my way around here."
Allen nodded and let the man lead him off to the library.
A/N sorry for my crap description of Tyki. He's one character I can't grasp very well. XD I just felt like I should add another character... I dunno why? Right now I'm typing this on my phone while sitting on the bus going to school so please excuse any mistakes ^-^' heh.. But then again I always use my phone for all my stories... Sadly, this is the only free time I have for right now. T^T
