"Okay class; anyone tell me what Digression means?" The older man was met by silence as the class suddenly found their desks to be of great interest. His eyebrows knitted together and he pushed his glasses further up his nose, looking from student to student, "What a surprise, no one brave enough to share?" He pushed himself away from the desk he had been leaning against and made his way around the room. It had been arranged so that they were all sat around it; his desk at the front and just like he'd guessed, no one was willing to share their answers. "Well, that is funny..." He mused to himself aloud, "I was sure I read some decent answers. Like…" He paused for dramatic effect, looking from face to face he smiled, each face was struck with a look of pure terror. He took his time as he walked to the right side of the room and turned round to face the left, "Mr Kanda Yuu's! Congratulations, now would you please share it with the rest of us" He watched as the kid slowly raised his head, eyes widening slightly in, what he would guess as realisation, that he hadn't been listening and the whole class was staring at him. He looked in the direction of the teacher and raised a single eyebrow. "Yes, I'm talking to you Kanda. Digression is…?"
Kanda shifted so he was sitting up straight and clicked his tongue in annoyance, he'd been drawing the best Beavnut yet. He looked down at the answer on his page, "Digression, it's when a character changes from one point to another. A bit like-"
"Going off on a tangent." The voice next to him finished. Seeming satisfied with the joint answer Mr Miller, their English teacher, returned to the front only to lean against his desk and carry on with his explanation. Kanda turned slightly to give the red head a glare,
"Tch. If you knew why the hell didn't you put your hand up?" He hissed, the red head just smiled and looked back at the front,
"You didn't either…" he stated. Kanda felt the irresistible urge to pound his 'friends' head in but he grit his teeth. "You were too busy NOT listening and drawing-"He felt the redhead lean sideways and instantly invade his personal space, "What on earth is that?" he whispered quickly. Kanda looked down at the doodle he'd been halfway through drawing before he'd been pointlessly distracted and bought the biro back to the paper to try and finish it while he spoke.
"It's a long story but I'll tell you because I pity your lack of imagination." It had nothing to do with Lavi saving him from speaking aloud in front of the class… He circled the first scribble that was in the margin of his notebook page, "This was meant to be an hourglass, due to the fact that I'm wasting an hour and a half of my life in this lesson, but then I looked up at the board and it went curved. So I made it into a peanut. DON'T ask me why, I just did" He added quickly as he saw Lavi's mouth open, "I went to draw another but it went a wrong… so I made it into a beaver…" He added lamely. He did have a reason as to why he chose a beaver, kind of, he was going for a rabbit at first but it reminded him of the idiot next to him so he changed it. The result was a bucktoothed beaver that looked oddly like his math teacher, Mrs-
"Hey, it looks a bit like Mrs Connor…" He looked at Lavi through the corner of his eye and smirked,
"I try my best" he added, quickly moving on to explain the doodle in the middle that Lavi was adding an Elvis quiff to. "That, my idiotic friend, is a Beavnut" His resisted the urge to smirk as Lavi spat out his breath and laughed, "It's their child, jeez, but now, I have to add a quiff to his dad. Thanks for that Lavi. Like I didn't have enough to do" He chided jokingly. He watched as the paper underneath his biro was whipped away and he turned around to come face to face to a very pissed off looking Lenalee.
"How old are you two? Seriously. I want an education so would you please just shut up and take some notes." Lavi opened his mouth to defend himself but was quickly shut up by the scowl she gave him. "Save it."
Much to the girl's astonishment, the two had looked at each other then settled down, faced the front and actually started writing notes. She wasn't that scary, was she? She looked up at the clock that hung above Mr Miller's desk and smiled as it read [11:14], they had fifteen minutes left. She slouched in her seat a bit more and attempted to listen to the lecture like she'd told the boys to do but the thought of lunch was quickly draining her willpower. Much like Kanda had been doing before, she started to doodle, flowers, cats and all the other things girls like her found loveable. She raised her head at the sound of stifled laughter and chuckles that came from the other side of the room; the right side. Ugh. The righties.
"…Need more… No, bigger… oh god… disgusting…" She leant forwards and faked writing the same sentence again, attempting to hear what they were talking about. She elbowed Kanda and laughed as he cursed, mumbling under his breath he leant back so the idiot could see her too. They both watched as she motioned for them to look at the right side off the room, Lavi grimaced and Kanda's jaw tensed. It was a well-known fact that their class was divided. The Lefties, people who sat on the left side, and the Righties, people who sat on the right side.
"What the fuck is Mikk and his cronies doing now?" Kanda spat out as he finished his latest Beavnut child. He saw no point in trying to see, like he could anyway.
"I dunno Yuu, but he looks like he's scribbling something down in a hurry…" Lavi sat up straighter trying to see the paper from the other side of the room, an impossible task but he had better chance than the other two.
Lenalee looked at the rest of the Righties and saw most of them looking at the paper too, all except the smaller boy in the corner, the only one in the class who seemed to be writing notes. "Whatever it is, it can't be good"
"And what is it that can't be good, if you don't mind sharing, Miss Lee?" The class seemed to raise their heads simultaneously and watch as Mr Miller raised an eyebrow at the student. Lenalee looked up at the older man who had suddenly appeared in front of her and willed her brain to come up with a decent excuse. She looked at the desk, ashamed with herself when her eyes landed upon the sheet of paper she had taken from Kanda mere minutes ago, a smile graced her lips as she looked at the face of her English teacher.
"This Sir" She pushed the paper forward, "I mean, really, Kanda should be doing work, not doodling. I must say, I myself-"
"Have a page full of doodles" Kanda finished. Lenalee could almost feel the murderous intent pouring out of him as she smiled sheepishly at the man. However he wasn't there, he seemed to have moved in the direction of the murmurs.
"Mr Mikk. What is it that you find so funny? Share with the class, why don't you, everyone else has."
The trio watched as Mikk raised his eyes to the teacher, almost as if he'd been waiting for it all along. He gave a breathless laugh as he turned the piece of paper round, showing the class the hideous doodle, "Allen! Mr Miller doesn't have-" he looked at the annotations covering the picture reading one aloud, "Giant man breasts or bushy caterpillar eyebrows or even-"
"I-I didn't!" The pale boy from the corner shot up out of his seat, "I would never-I-It wasn't" He flailed his arms about, almost as if it would help him get his message across. "I swear Sir, I've never seen it before in my life and I draw better than that- beside the point though- I wouldn't dream of ever-" Lenalee looked at him horrified, his face was flushed and unshed tears were filling his eyes. She felt her maternal instincts wash over her as she herself stood from her chair,
"Mr Miller! It's true, he didn't do it!" She kicked Kanda in the shin. Hard. His leg shot up on impulse and smacked the underside of the table, shooting their work onto the floor. He gasped in a manly manner, but stood up anyway.
"He didn't" He rasped out, sounding in pain, "It was Mikk." He hissed. "The midget didn't do anything"
"Sir, it really wasn't me!" Allen's eyes widened as he registered the insult, "OI! I'm not a midget!"
"Here Here!" Lavi added as he stood up. "I say Mr Mikk and his buddies giggling over a piece of paper, Sir!" He saluted and Kanda wacked him on the back of his head.
It was around twenty minutes later that the class was allowed to leave. Their teacher had kept Allen, the trio and Mikk and his cronies behind in order to find out who the perpetrator actually was. Tyki and his cronies had left the classroom first, each with a detention slip in their possession. Grumbling about how it had been a joke. Mr Miller followed.
Back in the class room Allen was packing his notes away when Lenalee had ran over, a huge smile on her face, "You should come join the Lefties from now on!" Allen could feel the heat rise to his face, "I mean, we wouldn't mess with you, you can be sure of that. Oh but you'll have to sit next to me." Allen opened his mouth to protest but he was pulled in the direction of the door before he could get a word out. He looked at the hand that grasped his wrist and followed it up to the face of a grinning Lavi,
"Yeah, you can chill with us!" He grinned wider, "Princess here is Lenalee-"Said princess waved at a disorientated Allen, "The broody one is Yuu" Allen watched, horrified, as Yuu swatted Lavi's head with great force, watching Lavi's head shoot forwards,
"Kanda. Call me Yuu and I'll skin your little white ass, alright" Allen paled greatly but nodded all the same,
"Ignore him, he's a pussy cat really" Lenalee winked at Kanda, only for him to cross his arms over his chest defensively, rolling his eyes.
Lavi coughed in a theatrical manner "And you can call me Manbeast - Collector of incredibly attractive females." He placed one hand on his hip, running the other through his red locks, "What can I say, they swarm to me."
"Oh? Do we now?" Lenalee said, voice oozing sarcasm. Kanda laughed and placed a hand on Allen's head, directing him out of the classroom, listening to Lavi defend his manbeast status.
All Allen could do was let himself be directed away from the classroom, wondering what the hell just happened.
