Chapter 9

*Anna's POV*

*Yawns*

I'm so tired! I finished my homework last night and went to bed at 10pm but once I got into bed I couldn't fall asleep mostly because I didn't want to.

Now, I'm in class and for some reason I'm wide awake. Even though I couldn't sleep properly last night. I slept for a bit I guess since I do remember falling asleep for a period of time. I just don't remember how long that period of time was... So I guess I did sleep? Just not well.

Ugh whatever. I have the right to be stressed out okay! Ha! You think you're stressed out, look at me I had a dream about my friend (he could be a friend in the future okay) in hospital! You think I'm not about to go to every police agency and tell them to watch over him? But...I don't have enough courage to actually do that. I'm just a scared friend. Scratch that. I'M NOT EVEN A FRIEND.

"Miss Bianco?"

"Yes."

"Di-Disciplinary c-committee wants to see you."

"Yea, whatever."

The temperature in the room just decreased. By 20◦C. Literally, I feel like I'm shivering and currently I'm wearing piles of clothing because my parents made me.

I exit the classroom and this guy who was standing at the doorway, I didn't notice him, leads the way. He has a ridiculous hairdo, it defies so many laws in physics. I wonder how much gel he uses to keep it up like seriously IT'S RIDICULOUS.

*Knock*

An icy voice slips through the door and freezes me to the bone.

"Come in."

As we enter, I see the luxury of the room. I didn't know we had such a room in our school and WHY does the disciplinary committee have dibs on it. It is basically the most luxurious room in the entire school. I look around and then I turn around and see 'icy guy' (it's my new nickname for him ^^).

I can now see why everyone decided to give this room to them. I mean come on, he has the eyes saying 'I'm going to eat you'. If there were to be a staring competition, I wonder who'd win between this guy and Xanxus.

"You have a phone call."

He snaps me out of my thoughts and I'm disappearing into my thoughts again.

I pick up the phone and guess who's on the other side.

"Hello Anna, this is your father speaking.

...Why is he calling at a time like this? I'm in class! I mean like I don't like class but seriously at least in class I can sleep.

"Anyways, for the rest of this week we'll be coming home very late. We would not like you to be kidnapped so we invited Lussuria to be your babysitter."

Kidnapped? What the hell is this, the movie Taken? No, no I will not get kidnapped. So I won't need a BABYSITTER. AND LUSSURIA OF ALL PEOPLE. SERIOUSLY.

"I won't need a babysitter. I will be perfectly fine by myself."

"We do not need to argue Anna."

"I assure you, I will be fine by myself."

"How will you cook? You blew up the kitchen the last time you tried to cook."

That was accidental. A.C.C.I.D.E.N.T.A.L. I wasn't being careful and something was set alight which burned the kitchen down. HOW DARE HE USE THAT EXCUSE AGAINST ME.

"I'll be fine. I can order take away.

"You will NOT order take away. If you do not remember we have already had this conversation many times before. Do not make me repeat myself."

"You do not need to repeat yourself. It's just that I feel sorry for Lussuria's friends like Squalo and Bel and-"

"Anna, since you feel pity for them, I'll ask them all to come over."

"..."

Did he just mock me? My father just mocked me.

"Anyways now the plans are already made. The Varia is coming over to your house when you finish school. Bye."

*BEEP BEEP*

So they're called Varia, funny name. I have to live with the Varia for 1 week. How am I going to survive?

"Out. Back to class."

I forgot he was here for a second. Well... I better get going. See you.

I dash out of the room and back into my own classroom in no time. I plop down into my chair and sigh. There are murmurs spreading around the classroom the second I got into the classroom.

"How come she's still alive?"

"Omg, she survived the wrath of Hibari."

"Wow."

I'm guessing that guy's name is Hibari. Note to self: Avoid him at all costs.

Note to self: Why am I surrounded by such dangerous people?

*RINGGGG*

"Okay, your homework today is to write an essay on what you think your future will be like. Class dismissed."

Urgh homework. Homework's so boring, I guess I could ask Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto to come over and do it together.

"Hey Tsuna, Yamamoto , Gokudera! Wanna come over to my house to do the homework?"

"Psh."

"Okay! It'll be fun!"

"Um, o-okay."

"If Juudaime goes I'LL GO TOO."

Well I didn't need to use any persuasion to get them to come over. Anyways I have the house to myself...Oh no. OH NO, I FORGOT THEY'RE COMING OVER. How could I forget? The phone call was only a couple of minutes ago.

I can't back out now, I already invited them. If I suddenly uninvited them that would seem really rude.

As we walk to my house and chat about random things here and there, I think about all the possibilities about what could happen with the Varia. I sound paranoid don't I? WELL THAT'S BECAUSE I AM. I've only had dinner with them twice and I already have the worst impression of them. They seem like mafia. MAFIA. I forgot to ask Tsuna about it. I should probably ask him now.

"Oh, hey Tsuna what do you know about the mafia?"

I know, I said I'd just ask if he was related but now I can't do that since Gokudera and Yamamoto are here. Right now, I just have to beat around the bush.

"A-anna, w-what a-are yo-you s-suddenly talking a-about?"

What the hell is wrong with his stuttering. It's like he has a gun pointed to his head. Do I have a gun in my hand? No. Do I look like scary and threatening? No. Well, probably not I hope.

"Ahahahah! Anna are you playing the mafia game as well?"

"Mafia game?"

I don't get what he's trying to say. Is he trying to metaphorically state that the mafia is a game between life and death or what. Or are they just playing a little kiddy version of the mafia.

"Yea that mafia game that Tsu-"

"Y-yeah we're playing a m-mafia game. It's just a game."

"Hmm...I didn't ask that...I asked if you knew anything ABOUT the mafia."

I give him a 'what are you going on about' look. He just replies with an 'oh shit' look.

Still, I'm not sure if they're just trolling me. Yamamoto seems like the kind of person to joke around a lot. He just has this cheery atmosphere around him that spells out 'I can't be taken seriously'.

Gokudera hasn't said anything, he's just staring at my face. Staring, staring.

"Why are you staring at my face for?"

"What do you know about the mafia?"

"I don't know anything. Just wanted to ask."

We keep staring. I don't know how long it's been.

"Tch."

Now we break eye contact. That was an intense staring contest and it seems to me this guy can get pretty intense.

We arrive at my house and it seems pretty quiet so I'm guessing that the 'Varia' isn't here yet. I open the front door and as I step inside. I face Squalo. I back out before he screams my ears off. I must've looked very odd because Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera swerved around me to see what was going on.

"Ahh! I-it's S-squalo."

"AH! Squalo! What are you doing here?"

"CHE, I HAVE TO LOOK AFTER THIS BRAT."

He points to me. That's rude! You're going to be living at my house, you might as well learn some manners.

"Ushishishishi. What do we have here?"

I couldn't have come home at a worse time. I mentally face desk and face palm.

"KNIFE BASTARD."

"A-anna, w-what are the v-varia doing at your h-house?"

"You guys know these people?"

I give them a questioning glance and when they're about to say something Squalo pulls them inside and shuts the door. The door of MY house. In My FACE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.

I try to reopen the door but it seems as though something is lodged into place on the other side. I rattle the door knob. WHY AM I LOCKED OUT OF MY OWN HOUSE. This situation is supposed to be the opposite but I doubt that a door could stop the Varia.

I just slid down the door and cup my hands onto the door to listen to their conversation.

"You can't tell her!"

"So she's in a family?"

"Yes! But her mum told me to keep it a secret from her until the right time comes!"

They can't tell me what? How come Tsuna and everyone else knows except me? They're talking about something I'm not meant to know, knowing I could be listening through the door, in my house while I'm locked outside Doesn't that seem a bit unfair?

Anyways, how does Tsuna even know them? I know Tsuna as a little baby, not as some guy who has friends like Squalo and Lussuria.
