"Chatmate"
Poshpuppy27: Next chappie guys…Still dedicated to YOU don't ask me why. I'm having a writer's block, so sorry if this chapter sucks…I'm really sorry! Our test results for this quarter just came out so...Yeah. And I have to go home to my freakin' retarded cousins (and my sister and a hyperactive ugly dog). I'm upset and I AM NOT ALLOWED TO EAT CHOCOLATES! Damn! Why?! I'm ranting, sorry. Anyways, R & R.

"Chatmate"
Chapter 2: My Secret Friend
"Ha…" Rosette exhaled and laid down the grass. The cool breeze gently whispered to her and caressed her cheeks, her hair, her hands, her everything. She was pretty exhausted after her 2 week tutorial from Azmaria. Well…That's that. At least I'm done she thought. She stretched freely and placed her hands under her head and smiled.
"Ah…I love afternoons like this" she happily said to herself. This was the one place no one could bother her when they were in school. She used to sneak in to this place even though it wasn't a school day. It was a meadow, a vast one, outside was a forest, and then their school. Their school was the only way to get to her 'happy place' or so she calls it. And now, she was resting. She looked at the sky and it was a clear blue one, and white fluffy clouds drifted by. The air gently breezed by again making her feel sleepy.
"Nap…" she began to close her droopy eyes. She heard some ruffling, a satisfied sigh, and something sitting down the grass. No fair! This was supposed to be my secret place! Who is that and how did he or she find this sacred place of mine (A/N: Territorial much?)?! Rosette jumped up from where she was sleeping and followed the source of the sound, too bad when she got there, the intruder got away. I thought I saw a blur of violet…Hmm… she thought, rubbing her chin.

"Hmm…I guess I could try it out on my own this time" Rosette happily signed in her YM account. Azmaria helped her change her username because it was too obvious, so now her username was 'sMiLe_SunShIneXD'. Rosette complained that it was too…girly, but Azmaria insisted so that her identity will be protected. She signed in and saw that only another person was online: LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX.
Pfft…Too emo, well…Might as well find out who this person is.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Heellllloooooo!!!! :D Hiya! :-h
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Huh?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Don't 'huh'' me! I just said HI so say HI back!
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: …Why would I wanna do that? /:)
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: …
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: See?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: DON'T MESS WITH ME YOU MORON! JUST SAY 'HI' BACK AND GET OVER IT! X-(
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: 'Hi'
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: See? Was that so hard to do?
---Click. Something clicked into place---
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: actually…no…It felt nice for a change
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Yey! :-D That's great! Friends? Okay?
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Mm.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: You're weird! :))
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Look who's talking :))
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Hey!
From then on Rosette would always hurry from school and she would wait for her Chatmate.

Type. Type. Type. Click. Click. Giggle.
"Huh? Where's that sound coming from?" Joshua looked up from the book he was reading and glanced around. Momentarily, the sound stopped. He shrugged it off and resumed.
Type. Type. Type. Type. Cussing words. Something fell.
Joshua stood up, alarmed. He sneakily exited from his room and went to the source of the weird noise: Rosette's room. He felt déjà vu again. When he was five, the same weird noises came from his older sister's room and he went to investigate, he peeked through the door and what he saw made him avoid Rosette's room at all costs. He shuddered at the horrible memory. He gulped and peeked from the door's opening (A/N: Rosette's door broke because she always slammed it before). He rubbed his eyes to confirm what he was seeing. ROSETTE typing on her COMPUTER. Before, it was impossible to put Rosette and computer on the same sentence, but now…He was overflowing with stupidity and happiness so he rushed in.
"ROSETTE! FINALLY!" he exclaimed as he charged and gave his sister a hug, he snuggled his head in her chest and hugged her from the waist. Rosette's eyes widened a bit and took this all in for a few minutes. She secretly smiled but then she hit Joshua on the head shouting "WHAT THE HELL JOSHUA?!"
Joshua ignored the pain and happily explained "You listened to me! Ooh! Rosette!" Rosette laughed and messed up his hair.
"Of course I did, silly. Azmaria persuaded me too" she said in a sly voice. Joshua reddened up.
"Oh…She…did?" Joshua looked away. Rosette gave him a soft smile and warned him "But I heard this guy, he was planning to ask her out. He didn't seem serious at all"
"WHAT?! GOTTA GO!" Joshua hurriedly exited her room with an anxious look on his face. Ah, it must be so great to feel young.
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Hey!!! What happened?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Oh nothing. Just some sibling moment. XD I'm glad though
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: You have any siblings?
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: *scowls* not on good terms.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Oh. *shrugs* Okay. So how was your day?
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Fine. I saw my…yeah *blush* *blush*
---Why do I feel so disappointed? ---
BUZZ!
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: HEY! You okay? You keep on spacing out.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: …Oh.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Sorry about that :))
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: What? Jealous that I already have someone? *smirk*
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: X-( I DO NOT!
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: DO TOO!
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: DO NOT! :p
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: DO TOO! /:)
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: DO NOOOOT!
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Then why were you like "…" awhile ago?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: …
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: SEE?! HAH! : P
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: YOU STUPID MORON! I—yeah---DIDN'T! I just couldn't imagine you with a girl…Hmm…VERY VERY VERY VERY hard to imagine. *smirk*
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Huh.
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: =)) ROTFL.
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: do you know what that means?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Rottweiler over the floor licking? Or was it Rocky Road On Their Face fLowing?
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: :)) =)) Seriously! You're too much! The last one didn't even start with an L!
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: You're so cute when you act that way!
Rosette stopped typing and she felt her cheeks burn. WAH?! What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I blushing over a crude simple remark?
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: Like a spoiled brat! ^_^ Are you even a girl?
sMiLe_SunShIneXD: Grr! X-( I SO HAAAATTTEEE YOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the next day, Rosette puffed out an air of irritation and annoyance. She glanced up at their classroom clock, and it read 3: 20 pm. She sighed sharply again, one more period to go. Chemistry.
She walked brusquely towards their school's laboratory which was equipped with the latest, modern and complete technologies. She sat down on the free seat in the opposite direction of another person who slumped down the table. She tapped her hand absentmindedly. Too long!
"Okay class. Good afternoon" their chemistry teacher, Professor Pervert, or so the others nicknamed him, was a short man in his mid-50s with a white beard and he always wore goggles.
"Today, we'll be talking about the human anatomy" he said with a mischievous grin. Some guys in the room whistled happily while the girls groaned. "PERVERT!" they all exclaimed.
"Just get it over with" Rosette muttered. "Preferably, the female human anatomy" she heard the old geezer say. Funny, he sounds so close. Rosette glanced down her chest and she saw a head. The head looked up and he smiled at her---it was the old pervert. Rosette blushed madly and smacked his head.
"PERVERT!" Rosette exclaimed as she held her chest with her free arm. The old man laid flat down the ground with his nose bleeding. "C-cup D…." he dreamily sighed. Rosette blushed furiously and stepped on the old man many times. "ROT IN HELL YOU OLD PERVERTED GEEZER!"
Two senior students came and picked the professor up. They were the president and the vice president of the high school student council. "We'll take him to Sister Kate, but to the clinic first. Seriously Miss Christopher, you'll lead him straight to his own grave" the president chastised Rosette as he rubbed his temples.
"HE MOLESTED ME FIRST!!" Rosette argued.
"Yes, we know that…As usual"
"Well, I'll side with the Prof Here" the vice president whistled. "She has ---"Blood trickled down his nose. He fell unconscious next to the dying Professor.
"THAT'S THE FREAKIN' REASON WHY I WORE A GUYS UNIFORM INSTEAD OF THE GIRLS' ONE!" Rosette shouted in their face. The class chuckled; this was seriously a usual routine, except for the incident with their vice president.
"Hey you, yeah, Can you please pick Yukimura-kun up? We'll be sending him to the clinic as well" the president sighed, exasperated. "Miss Christopher, you should try to handle things the diplomatic way"
"I'll try. I'm sorry, Rei" Rosette apologized sincerely. Rei, the president, smiled at her and said "No problem. Just try to keep out of trouble's way". Before they exited, Rei scruffled Rosette's head.
"Wow. You seemed to be really close with our Council's President Rosette!" Anna exclaimed, one of their classmates. Rosette grinned at her. "Well, he was my childhood friend and our current neighbor" she explained.
"Oh yeah, Kei-san said that we'll do this" Claire reminded the whole class as she wrote the instructions on the board. Rosette faced at her laboratory partner and was surprised. She leaned towards the person and whispered in the person's ear "Hey Princess".
---
The tanned face reddened instantly. Rosette cupped her chin and grinned playfully at him. It was her not damsel-but-in-distress. The guy mistaken for a girl whom she saved from Aion's evil clutches. The guy bowed his head, his bangs covering his reddening face. She could see both of his ears and the nape of his neck was red too. She felt giddy and mischievous suddenly.
"So…You're my lab partner?" Rosette stated the obvious. Oh, this is going to be interesting.
"Uhm...Err…Y-yeah, I-I g-guess s-s-so…" the guy said, still not looking at her. Rosette was a bit irritated because of the guy's shyness. "You're supposed to look at someone when they talk to you" she growled. The guy flinched and gulped.
"O-okay" he whispered. He raised his head and glanced at Rosette for a second. Crimson met Ocean Blue. Time stood still. The guy broke eye contact and reddened once more. Now, Rosette was intrigued by this person. Who was this person? His eyes…Were so mysterious…Yet, some emotion was behind them….More importantly, what was his connection with Aion?
"U-um…H-hey…R-r-ro….S-s-ette…" A tanned hand was waving in front of her face. She snapped back to reality and instead of pushing the guy's hand away, she thought she should play with him more. She took the guy's hand and kissed it. "Whatever is the matter, my dear princess?"
"H-Ha-hand…" he whispered before he fainted. Rosette was surprised at first, yet she howled with laughter. The whole class chuckled at their display. Rosette poked the princess.
No movement.
Rosette's grin widened even further at the evil impulsive plan she just came up with. Let's see…What was it that those prince charmings do when their princesses went to sleep? Ah! Yes… She leaned in further and temporarily stopped when they were just a few centimeters apart. She nipped at the guy's earlobe lightly and whispered "The kiss of life shall wake up my princess". Rosette continued to lean in further and closer in a very very slow pace.
Crimson eyes widened as they fluttered open instantly. The guy blushed madly and jerked away from Rosette's hold. Rosette chuckled and then stopped laughing. Hah…So… She felt a tug. It was the guy. "Sorry about that, princess" she grinned. The guy became tomato faced again.
"Don't call me Princess! I'm a guy! Not a girl! I do have a name you know!" he insisted, looking anywhere but her. Rosette laughed, the guy was pissed off already. He was so fun to tease. "A guy? But you haven't proven to me your 'manliness' yet. Remember our deal?" she grinned. She laughed at his sudden chagrin and patted his back "There, there".
She abruptly stopped patting his back and became curious. She tilted her head and leaned in to him a bit closer. "Just, what is your name?"
"I-I'm Chrno. Chrno Daimon. Your classmate" he introduced himself, bowing his head. He let his long bangs and messy ponytail cover his face. Rosette was greatly disturbed by his messy ponytail, she grabbed it harshly, earning a whimper from Chrno, and began to braid it.
"It just disturbed me" she explained. Chrno secretly smiled. "Thanks"

Rosette went straight home after school; she quickly changed her clothes and logged in her computer. She saw that he was waiting.

sMiLe_SunShIneXD: ….bye.
SMiLe_SunShIneXD has signed out (2/6/2009 17:46:03)
Rosette smiled. She felt really happy. Why?
---
She didn't know it would turn out this way.
She didn't know what was coming.
She didn't know how it will affect her.
Rosette was chatting happily with her Chatmate. She learned that they both went to the same school and they were in the same year level. But then, as they said their goodbyes, Rosette stared blankly at the one message that had left her speechless.
LoNeLy_CrImsOnXxX: We can't talk anymore. I need to cut ties with you. Don't want you to be involved with me. Forget me and I will forget you. Please understand. I'm sorry.
Poshpuppy27: And done! I finished it at exactly 12:40 am listening to "dear june" by Nickasaur. Huh. To the person I dedicated this story…You're really silly for not figuring out. It was fun to let you guess :)) lol. Anyways, notice their class president's name? REI. Yeah, I pulled it out from Special A. It was Takishima Rei right? Or was it Takishima Kei? Hmm…*shrugs* Whatever. I think I'm wrong. Hahahaha…Who would read this crappy story anyway. Read and review. Ja ne~
`QOUTE FOR THE DAY: if you're happy then I'm happy. Hey, your smile is the only important thing here.
