Chapter 25

Stop and Stare

Did Allen just have a conniption fit or what? Did Tykki really ask to sit next to Allen? That icky, slime bag of a guy?

"Holy hell of holies!" Allen thought to himself.

Allen opened his mouth to protest when Tykki's cold pointing finger landed on Allen's lips.

"Shhh," Tykki hushed Allen with a smile and a wink.

Allen quickly jerked his head away, "Go away," he said stubbornly.

Tykki just chuckled, "You should like a little boy."

Allen just rolled his eyes and opened his binder, "Why don't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I know your lonely," Tykki said nonchalantly.

Allen stopped for a moment, was it that obvious?

"It was that obvious," Tykki said.

"Is he a mind reader or something?" Allen panicked in his head.

Allen was still freaking out when he felt a hand on the back of his head, stroking his hair.

Allen fell out of his seat and looked at Tykki.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Walker?" the teacher asked with everything but I interest in his voice.

"Y-yes sir, just leaned too much," Allen said as he quickly got back into his seat.

He didn't like how Tykki touched him, it felt wrong. It felt wrong in a way Allen couldn't explain. It wasn't a nice touch or a mean touch, it felt like a touch a predator would give his prey before killing it.

Allen played with the cuffs of his sleeves nervously. He never felt like he was in danger till now.

"I shouldn't be afraid of him," Allen thought, "I mean, I don't even know him!"

"Allen, calm down," Tykki whispered, "I don't bite…hard…unless you want me to."

Another slimy smile and wink.

Allen wanted to rip his skin off, he never felt so dirty.

When the bell rang, Allen bolted out of his seat and ran out of the classroom.

Allen ignored all the stares and didn't stop running till he reached his locker. Allen rested his forehead on his locker, the cool metal cooling him off a little. He closed his eyes and willed his heartbeat to slow.

"Hey Allen!" a small voice called behind him.

Allen turned around and was met with purple liberty spikes.

Dropping his head a little, he came face to face with Road Kamelot.

Tykki's friend.

Great.

"Oh, hi," Allen said, his guard on high alert.

"Whatcha doin'?" She asked, her voice was sickening sweet.

"Just getting my books," Allen said, willing this conversation to end.

"Oh," was all Road said before pinning Allen to his locker.

"Road!" Allen squealed, Road's face was inches from his.

"Sorry Al, but your just too cute!" she said, kissing his cheek.

Allen squirmed out of her grip and ran to his next class.

"What the hey hey is going on?" Allen yelled inside his head.

First Tykki's creeper touches and now Road is molesting him!

"Please, just let the rest of the day go normal," Allen begged inside his brain.

When Allen walked out of his class before lunch, you would think he was slapped in the face with sunshine.

He hadn't had anymore trouble with Road and Tykki. He felt like skipping.

Allen walked to his locker and changed his books and grabbed his lunch money. He started feeling a bit more down.

He hated lunch period now. He didn't have anyone to sit with. He usually sat in the library and ate but the days he couldn't get a pass, he ate alone in the bathroom.

Allen started the lonely walk to the cafeteria when he felt someone fall in step next to him.

It was Tykki.

"Balls to the mother fuckin' wall, (This is my favorite saying, by the way way!)" Allen groaned in his head.

"Hey!" Tykki said all chipper.

"Please leave me alone," Allen said bluntly.

"Allen," Tykki said simply.

Allen looked up at Tykki.

"I know you don't trust me or like me much and that's fine. I've just noticed you've lost a lot of weight and look like you've been through hell so I just thought you might like a friend," Tykki said, genuine concern in his voice.

Allen was really touched. Someone actually noticed Allen.

"I know you miss Lavi and I just thought you might like some friends till he comes back. We can go back to hating each other when he does come back if you like," Tykki concluded with a shy smile.

"You know, he doesn't seem that bad," Allen thought.

"Okay Tykki," Allen said.

"Great! Wanna sit with me and some friends at lunch today?" Tykki replied, all smiles.

"Sure," Allen said. It's nice to feel wanted.

Tykki wrapped his arm around Allen's shoulders and led him into the cafeteria.

Now, Allen wasn't quiet sure, but from his angle, Tykki's smile looked more like an evil grin.

Maybe it was just the angle.
