Chapter 2
Rizelda Cross
"Good morning class." She could hear the teacher say through the heavy mahogany doors. "Today we have a new transfer student joining us today. I would like you to welcome Rizelda C-Cross" Rizelda smiled as the teacher stuttered at her last name and pushed the doors open. Kaien Cross was her mother's brother and he was also the Chairman of Cross Academy.
When she walked into the room mouths hung open, including the teacher's. she figured it was probably because she had opted to wear the guy's uniform. She bowed to the class.
"People call me Zell." she said when she straightened. The teacher cleared his throat.
"Well, Zell. Just because you're the Chairman's niece doesn't mean you are exempt from the rules. Yuuki."
"Yes, sir."
"I would like you to take Miss Zell to get a proper uniform."
"Yes, Sir." Yuuki said while opening the door and motioning for Zell to exit. The two girls left the room and walked down the hall.
"You're awfully quiet. You haven't seen me in like what, seven years?" questioned Zell.
"How could you, Zell? You knew about the uniforms." Cried Yuuki.
"That's the best you do?"
"I'm serious!" Yuuki said, while tossing her a girl's uniform. "For once in your life will you follow the rules!"
"Fine, but just for the record, you owe me. Big time." grumbled Zell. "I hate skirts."
"I'm glad you're here Zell." said Yuuki with a smile. Zell slung her arm around Yuuki's shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
"I guess I am too. Even if it's just 'cause I can see you, little cousin." Zell winked and ran smack into Aidou.
"Aidou what are you doing? You know members of the Night Class aren't aloud outside the Moon Dorm during the day." said Yuuki genuinely startled.
"Ah. Uh. I… I wanted to see the new transfer student." He grinned widely.
Zell regarded him coolly. Finally coming to the conclusion that he was only covering his own butt and had no intention of running into them. She held out her hand.
"Zell." Aidou shook her hand, he had a firm grasp.
"Whether he wanted to see you or not, it's still against the rules. I'm going to half to ask you to¾"
"Oh come off it Yuuki!" exclaimed Zell wistfully. "They're stuck in that awful dorm all day. Let them have some fun."
"But the Chairman ¾"
"That's it. This weekend we're going to town to shop and have fun"
"But the Chairman ¾"
"What Uncle doesn't know won't hurt him." Turning to Aidou. "And you! If my Uncle finds out about this I'll know exactly whose bed to put a snake in. Do you hear me?" Zell threatened. Aidou turned green.
"Uncle?"
"Yeah! He's my father's brother." Zell said with a smirk. "Now Yuuki. Meet me at the front gate at seven and wear plain clothes. We're going to be just a couple of normal girls,"
"But ¾"
"Enough! This is nonnegotiable." Zell stated firmly, opening a door. "Remember, You Owe Me!"
"Why does she owe you?" asked Aidou curiously.
"She's making me wear a skirt." replied Zell. Then she shut the door right in Aidou's face.
