Chapter 13: The Interview part 1
"D. Gray Man" This is the whole band singing
"D. Gray-Man" This is for thoughts and one member of the band singing
I DO NOT OWN D. GRAY-MAN NOR THE SONG!
:::: Allen's POV::::
O-ouch! It hurts!
Again, I am the one who is punished… I am trying not to move so my legs won't hurt but I think it's not working because, my legs are sore. Really sore I tell you.
"Aw, come on Hans! Of all punishment why must SEIZA be it?" Lavi cried and bit his lips. By that look, his legs must be sore too.
"Tch," I heard Kanda muttered. Lucky one… He's Japanese so *this* is pretty easy for him! O-ouch! I better not move again…
"You three better not do this again!" Hans yelled at us and pointed to our wrecked condo unit.
"It's not that bad!" Lavi interjected but he was proven wrong when a picture frame fell to pieces. We really need to clean this up after our punishment… That is if Hans will be merciful enough to end our punishment.
"Oh dear God… Komui will kill me if he find out!" Hans said and then turned to Maricar and Lenalee, "Hey Lenalee, Maricar…"
"You know them?" Lavi piped.
"Yes, they were introduced to us when they were 8 years old." He replied.
"Yeah, and what is it Hans?" Maricar asked.
"Can you do a favor?"
"That depends."
"Okay, here it is, can you make Komui calm down when he finds this out?" Hans pleaded. Maricar looked at Lenalee and Lenalee looked back at her.
"Sure," they replied and sat on the couch.
"Hans—"
"No, your punishment isn't over yet." He replied and sat beside Lenalee and Maricar. Ohhh, I really, really hate this! O-ouch! Help! Please!
:::: Lenalee's POV::::
I sighed. Poor Allen-kun, poor Lavi, poor Kanda… I pity them but Hans still won't let them free.
"You three can finally stop when it's 8:30. That way, you can finally learn your lesson!" Hans scolded them. I can see their knees trembling and shaking. It must hurt a lot…
"Also, I found out some questions that will be asked by the journalists." Their eyes lit up and they looked at Hans.
"Some questions for you Kanda will be about your past and Alma okay? While some of Lavi's will be about his current relationship and also why he was carrying you Maricar, and lastly Allen's will be about his 'mysterious girl.' Meaning, it's about you Lenalee. That's all the information I gathered." Hans said, "Oh, by the way, you three will have to prepare a song number."
"Each one of us will prepare?" Lavi asked.
"Yes, one song from you, one from Kanda and one from Allen." He answered.
"For whom?" Allen-kun asked.
"Your special someone." Hans said. I wonder for whom Allen-kun's song is. W-Wait! W-why was I thinking about that? It's not like I'm interested about who he likes or something…
"And what is that for?" Kanda asked grumpily.
"For Valentines what else?" Hans replied and pushed his glasses up farther to his nose. Kanda and Maricar rolled their eyes. I guess they're not the Valentines type.
"I'll be going to—"
"Pinky?" Lavi interjected and teased him at the same time. Hans blushed immediately and stuttered, "N-No! A-And w-what's it to you if I am?"
"N-No!" Lavi mimicked, "Oh please Hans, you added the "W-What's it to you if I am?" That only means you are going to Pinky. You really are a bad liar."
"Tsk, you never changed! I'm leaving now!" He replied angrily and left.
"Typical temperamental Hans," Maricar commented and yawned, "Hn, it's already 7:30 pm, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep okay Lenalee?"
"Sure, I'll follow, how about you Alma?" I asked her.
"Nah, I'll stay here just in case something bad happens." She said and flopped down beside me, "You should go now, I'll be fine, don't worry about me Lena."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," Alma reassured me, "I'll follow too soon okay? Goodnight!"
"Goodnight too," I said and left the room.
I yawned and opened the door. It didn't take me much time to go to out room since it's just across Allen's.
"Maricar?"
"In the bathroom! I'm taking a shower!" was her reply. Maricar's usual reply.
I sat down out couch and turned on the T.V. I went to the global news. Hmm, showbiz was the current news.
"Hello and good evening to everyone!" The woman said cheerily and sniffed, "Ah! I can truly smell the love in the air! Let's see our chart of superstars and pop stars who have their own dates this coming Valentines!"
Maricar came out of the bathroom with a towel on her tangled hair. She also wore a bathrobe and red fluffy rabbit slippers.
"Hey Maricar, look at this," I pointed out and Alma came in right on cue.
"Hey guys! Wait—what is that chart on the T.V about?" she asked and sat beside me while Maricar stood behind us.
"This chart ranks the personalities who are confirmed to have a date on Valentines. This is ranked from confirmed to not sure yet.
Usui Takumi and Misaki Ayuzawa
Yoh Asakura and Anna Kyoyama
Danielle Watson and Maxine Reyes
Cecilia Cora belle and David Matthews
Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee
Lavi and Maricar Williams
Kanda Yu and Alma Karma—"
Before she could continue the others, I quickly turned it off. I was shocked, really shocked. I-I didn't expected this!
"H-How the fuck in the world did they knew our names!" Maricar exclaimed her eyes widened.
"I-I didn't know either! I'm sure neither Hans nor Komui would tell them!" Alma replied and covered her face.
"What she said was a fraud! I-I mean we never made any plans about having a date with any of the boys! Alma may have one but us!" I said in disbelief.
"Our reputation is ruined for sure. I expect that some of our classmates will call us on the phone and ask us about this," Maricar said and took her phone. After that she went near the garbage bin.
"What are you doing?" I and Alma asked her, bewildered by her actions.
"What? I'm going to throw this before it rings endlessly," she said and threw her phone in the garbage bin, "Oh well, time to buy a new phone."
I rolled my eyes at her actions. Sometimes, Maricar can really be childish and a bit stupid but still, she's the best sister and best friend a girl could ever have! Sure, she may not be my blood related sister but to me, in my heart and in my mind, she'll always be the sister I never had.
"Okay, let's cross that bridge when we come to it. So let's just get some sleep right now and relax… This day has been too, well, stressful, for me that is." Alma said and went to her bed.
"I'll just take a bath and afterwards, I'll follow okay Maricar?" I said.
"Sure, goodnight."
:::: Tomorrow 5 am; Allen's POV::::
I yawned and stretched my arms. Afterwards, I massaged my sore legs. Damn, that hurt a lot.
I then looked around… So Hans did give us a new room, not that I'm complaining or anything. Oh well, I might as well agree with what Lavi said,
:::: Flashback::::
We got up and instantly flopped down to the only thing intact in out room: The sofa. I guess Kanda actually thought before doing something idiotic.
"Okayyyy, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Pinky?" Lavi asked Hans.
"Shaddup, I just visited her okay? Anyway, I got you three idiots a new room so don't try to destroy it this time! Good thing the manager of this hotel is a fan…" He said but mumbled the last parts. He then gave us the key and our room number.
"Whaaat?" Lavi exclaimed.
Oh. Room 210, our room was now farther from Lenalee's…
"B-But it's too far from Maricar's!" I heard Lavi wail.
"Sheesh Lavi, you sound like a perv." Hans remarked.
:::: End of Flashback::::
I took a bath and put the shirt meant for today's conference. I sighed; I was wearing a black sleeveless turtle neck shirt. I guess they meant it to be tight on the body. I also wore black jeans. Johnny designed this; I wonder how he made it this comfy.
I went to the living room and found Lavi and Kanda all dressed up.
"Che, you dress like a girl," Kanda commented.
"Well, at least I don't look like one." I retorted.
"Says who?"
"Says me,"
"Yu~~" Alma's usual cheery voice echoed and she went in. After that, she hugged him tight. Almost like a bear hug. I wonder how she stands his attitude.
"You guys ready? Reever and Mikee are already in the limo!" she told us. We then heard a groan.
"Almaaa, why'd you wake us up for?" Maricar's voice said and I heard her yawn. She was still wearing her pajamas.
"Wait, you're not going with us dressed like those aren't you?" Lavi said.
"Who said I'm going anyway?"
"You're not coming?" Lavi asked with a pout. That pout made Maricar blush.
"Haven't you checked out your television yet?"
I grabbed the remote and turned it on like what Maricar instructed. Showbiz news was on and as usual, the news shown last night will be replayed today. But we only saw the middle part.
"This chart ranks the personalities who are confirmed to have a date on Valentines. This is ranked from confirmed to not sure yet.
Usui Takumi and Misaki Ayuzawa
Yoh Asakura and Anna Kyoyama
Danielle Watson and Maxine Reyes
Cecilia Cora belle and David Matthews
Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee
Lavi and Maricar Williams
Kanda Yu and Alma Karma—"
I immediately turned it off. Where the hell did they have that information? They must've seen Lenalee, Maricar and Alma a lot of times but no one in the showbiz industry knew their identity. Not even the paparazzi or journalists until now…
"See?" Maricar said, "We value our life and that's the reason why we are not going with you."
"Then a disguise will do!" the redhead said. (A/N: Is this a rhyme? Yay!)
"No, they know how we look like and also our names! This is a disas—"
Lavi pulled Maricar away from our suite and brought her to her suite. Lavi is really determined isn't he?
"Nee Allen-kun, why is Lavi in our suite? He's forcing Maricar to change…" Lenalee said and stifled a yawn. God she looks cute!
"W-Well…" I couldn't help but stutter in front of her in her pajamas, "Lavi wanted Maricar to come to our press conference, do you want to come?"
She smiled, "Sure, I'll be glad to! I'm going to check up on Maricar and Lavi now okay? See you later!"
Lenalee left and went to her room. Oh well, I'll be going to the car now. But what song am I going to dedicate to her?
:::: Lenalee's POV::::
"Stop it! Didn't I tell you I don't want to come?"
"No! You will come!"
"No! I won't!"
I sighed. They sounded like an old married couple arguing. They're really noisy. I can hear their rants from outside.
"Lavi, I'll take care of Maricar now, okay?" I told him, "She'll be going."
"But Lenalee!" Maricar whined while Lavi grinned.
"Okay! I'll see you guys in the limo!" He said and left. After he closed the door, I turned to Maricar and met her glare. I pouted at her and hugged her.
"Please? Pretty please Mari? Allen-kun is expecting me to come and Lavi is expecting you to come." Oh! I can see a blush on her face! She does like Lavi!
"You mean Allen is expecting you to come." She said and smirked. Okay, this time I blushed. Good thing, he isn't here.
"Well, both of them is expecting for us to come so come on! Let's go!" I then pushed her towards the bathroom, "I'll look for our clothes!"
"Hey! Don't forget you'll be taking a bath too!"
"Of course I wouldn't!"
:::: Later; 3rd person POV::::
"Hey guys!" A soft and feminine voice greeted them. The boys turned to look at who it was. It was Lenalee while Maricar was gritting her teeth angrily. Lenalee wore a jasmine lavender blouse and black pants while Maricar wore a white ruffled silk blouse and jeans.
"Sorry for the wait," Lenalee smiled apologetically, "I had to convince Maricar here to join."
Lavi grinned, "Oh, no worries, let's go now!"
Alma opened the door for the two and let them in. Lenalee sat next Alma and Maricar as usual. Allen, Lavi and Kanda sat across them.
"You can choose your hat there in the chest. You'll probably need that for in case of paparazzi." Allen told them and pointed at the chest. The three girls nodded.
"Hey Allen…"
"What is it Lavi?"
"I found my song for her!"
"Aw man! Why can't I find mine?"
:::: Later at the conference::::
Alma, Lenalee and Maricar decided to stay in the back rather than staying in the front full of… well… paparazzi. Let's just say that this made the boys a little upset. Just a little upset!
"C'mon let's do this already!" Allen said and went to the open space with Lavi and Kanda.
"I still can't believe I'm doing this." Kanda hissed under his breath and grabbed a microphone like what Lavi and Allen did. Allen shot an illuminating smile to the audience—consisted mostly of girls— and nodded.
"Hello everyone, we're going to perform a number first before the questioning starts okay?" The 15 year old said and winked at the audience. (A/N: I suppose this is a little OOC much right? But I guess there'll be more OOC moments)
"So we hope you'll enjoy this." Lavi added and music started to play.
Allen spun and threw the mike in the air at the same time. After he spun, the mike fell down perfectly back in his hands. Kanda, Lavi and Allen then prepared themselves.
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
It was Allen's turn to sing now. Fans began to cheer and squeal.
Have you ever had the feeling you're drawn to someone? Yeah
And there isn't anything they could of said or done
And everyday I see you on your own
He winked again and it looks like it was for Lenalee. The Chinese blushed hard while Maricar and Alma rolled their eyes.
"Who would've thought he would do that?" Maricar said, unable to believe what the white haired boy did.
"Please, he does that every time." Alma replied, "We call that 'Bishie Sparkle'."
"Oh, because something in his eye sparkles whenever he does that?"
"Yup."
Maricar's grin grew wider when she noticed that her best friend was blushing furiously, "I bet that works every time."
"Absolutely, even if it seems like impossible for him to do. It still works on the fan girls", Alma said and grinned.
And I can't believe that you're alone
But I overheard your girls and this is what they said
Another batch of squeals erupted in the room when Lavi and Kanda got to join the singing. The three girls in the back can't help but to smile.
That your looking for a boyfriend
I see that, give me time now you know I'm gonna be that
Don't be scared just come put your trust in me
Can't you see all I really want to be is your boyfriend
Can't fight that knock me down you know I'm coming right back
I don't care at all what you done before all I really want is to be your
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
It seems like squealing and shrieking was inevitable to the fans since it is Lavi's turn to sing now. Maricar right now, was blushing. She was really thankful that the redhead won't see her current situation.
Let me take a little moment to find the right words
(To find the right words)
So when I kick it you it ain't something that you've heard
(Something that you've heard)
I don't know what kind of guy that you prefer
But I know I gotta put myself or worse
See I think got the kind of love that you deserve and I heard that...
You're looking for a boyfriend
I see that, give me time now you know I'm gonna be that
Don't be scared just come put your trust in me
Can't you see all I really want to be is your boyfriend

Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's Kanda Yu's turn to sing. Alma couldn't help but giggle in anticipation like the other fan girls. But hey, who wouldn't do that?
If you tell me where, I'm waiting here
Everyday like slum dog millionaire
Bigger than the Twilight love affair
I'll be here girl I swear
That your looking for a boyfriend
I see that, give me time now you know I'm gonna be that
Don't be scared just come put your trust in me

Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
Your boy boy b-b-boy b-b-boy friend
All I really want to be is your…
High-pitched screams and squeals erupted in the room. The audience clapped enthusiastically. The boys bowed and –exception of Kanda—winked at the audience one last time. Allen, Lavi and Kanda then went to their seats.
"I had to admit, that was some performance." Maricar whispered to Alma. The latter nodded and folded her arms.
"I know, it looks like that they practiced it for weeks even though they didn't." Alma whispered back.
A journalist raised her hand and smiled. Allen called her. The journalist took off her hat.
"Ciara…" Oh Damn.
Hellooo!
It has been a while hasn't it? And I'm happy for the reviews I got! Thank you so much. And sorry if I made mistakes i here, I'm still learning and if there are some parts wrong about the lyrics, again, I am sorry. I have news too but you can skip these if you want to.
Yeah, I failed the interview… I wasn't accepted in the school but it's alright. I don't know what school I am going to apply in now. If you have some suggestions, I can consider it. I live in Marikina by the way, just some info if you want to suggest a school.
NAT exams are coming and I'll be pretty busy. Hope you understand if you're pretty curious why I don't update soon.
I am a curious person so… I wanted to know from what countries the authors who check out my stories are from. I'd like to know the age too.
Example:
Philippines, 12 yrs old.
Thank you very much for the support! Love you all!
