HEYYYY. I've been inactived for some time due to school and grades. BUT, I return with the ending for All Grown Up.
"RING RING RIIINNNNGGG."
And with that, Alice promptly escaped from the questioning looks of her class and grabbing the twins on the way out.
Dee and Dum never thought that Alice would be even scarier than their mom until this day.
They were currently residing in a empty hallway with lockers at the side. Alice had them feel like cornered rats with no escape.
"So, any explanations for all this years?", asked Alice with one eyebrow raised.
"Well, it's kinda of a long story. You see, that, uh-dadgotaddicatedtogamblingandwelostatonofmoneyandmomtookusandranawayfromhome-",said Dee.
Before even having the chance to continue, Dee was pushed aside by Dum whom proceeded with better explanations.
"Okay. Dad got addicted to gambling, Mom tried to stop him but it failed. So, we ran away from home to her relatives in Italy."
"Then why didn't you called me or send me a text for so long?"
"Mom was afraid he tried to find us through your family and well, we didn't quite remember your phone number or address."
"So, have you forgiven us yet?",said the twins in union with a dose of puppy eyes.
"Hahahaha. No."
With that Alice left without a word. Her back facing the twins while her hands clutched tightly to her lunchbox.
"Soo, princess. Why the long face?"
Alice found Julius and Ace hanging out at the outdoor cafeteria. Julius reviewing his notes for English while Ace was eating a Taco.
Alice buried her face into her arms, trying to block out Ace's voice.
"Stop bugging me and go back to your original victim."
Ace being the typical idiot he was, didn't stop.
"Ya'know, when you pout, you look really cute."
Before Alice had a chance to give a snide comment, the twins had clung to her.
"Alice is off-limits,"
"She's ours."
Ace interpreted this as a challenge. With a wider smile that blinded people, seriously, three people have been admitted to the hospital already, he spat out more pick up lines.
"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
"Your lips look lonely, would they like to meet mine?"
Ace finally stopped when he felt a intense glare from Alice.
"You talk like you're interested in me. Aren't you gay for Julius?"
That sentence was the trigger button that made Julius talked.
"Damn it Ace. Stop spreading lies."
"It's not a lie, I-"
"I never knew you had this in you.",said Alice whom beaten Ace before finishing his sentence.
"Well, you can surely explore more about me if you want to?", said Ace with a extra wink.
"Screw you. I'm leaving."
The brunette grunted and left the table; leaving Ace, the twins and the practically non-existent Julius. Ace now had his full attention on the transfers.
"What business do you have with Alice?"
"None of your beeswax."
"Hmm. Is that so? More people had made their own advances on her. Better act fast."
'Finally, sweet, sweet silence.'
Without further ado, Alice dug into her lunchbox.
It was amazing how the twins face came up in her mind when she saw their favorite side-dish.
"Ohh, can I have some? Pretty please~"
"Same here, I want some to!"
Dee and Dum were behind her, staring intently at the food in front of them.
"Hmph, I'll give you some but it doesn't mean I've forgiven you yet, got it?", said Alice with a turn of her head to the side.
"Yes ma'am."
And nostalgia just flooded her mind.
It was exactly times like this that made her sad that they left for years.
Dum was in shocked when Alice just started to have tears dripping down.
"Alice, don't cry! You can scold us if you're angry, so please, please don't cry."
The twins hugged her, thinking that it might calm her down.
Alice sat there, in the embraces of the twins, trying to recollect her thoughts and emotions.
". .I'm sorry that I was being childish and angry when you had a decent reason."
"Aw, here I thought that Alice would be all tsun-tsun and then forgiving us."
"Think again since I never clearly stated that I forgive you. You'll have to work hard to earn it."
They could see the mischievous smile creeping at Alice's smile but what surprised they more was the sudden kiss on their cheeks.
"But that's for coming back to find me. Thank you."
Leaving the stoned twins behind, Alice went ahead to her classroom.
They could only touched the spot where her lips landed and blush.
END? - NEXT!
The next day was wonderful, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. No one was trying to anno-
"ALICE!"
-she spoke too soon. With a sigh, she turned to face the source of disturbance on her wonderful morning.
The twins had red cheeks and uneven breathing. It was so obvious that they ran all the way to school but what for?
"We, have something to ask you.", said Dee.
Alice gave them a nod, signaling that she was listening.
"Go out with us!", both said in synchronization with their faces inches away from Alice.
The outcome was obvious, they have been brother-zoned. Which resulted into a short and simple, no.
The rest of the day went along with Alice getting frustrated on the very mention of the twins.
And that marks the end of it! Here's a completely unrelated side note, I started watching Vanguard. :D
