Today... I get to see the inside of Lenalee's house.

Geez, why does school exist? It doesn't let me have any free time to write!

Here is Chapter 3! I hope you like it! ^w^


Allen lays in his bed while staring at his digital alarm clock in his room, waiting for it to read 11:00 am. Lenalee had given him her address Friday, and it turns out that she only lives ten houses down from Allen. Is this fate? She told him to be at her house at 11 because that was when her brother woke up.

"My brother goes to Black Order University in the next town over. He told me that he doesn't have classes Saturdays, so you can come over then. OK?"

Allen's clock currently read 10:32 am. All he could think about is what the interior of her room would look like. Full of pink, fluffy things? Rainbow unicorns? Or would it be full of baby dolls and barbies?

Allen shook his head at that notion. There was no way she's into that type of stuff at her age. She probably has posters of bands that she likes all over her room. What was that new group named again? Same Direction? One Path? Something like that...

I know I'm only going to do a class project, but this probably going to be the highlight of my life. How pitiful is that? And I still don't understand why she would partner up with me anyway. I'm not smart, well maybe I am but she can probably get someone smarter than I am. Also, I'm not good looking either. No one really believes in that "Beauty is on the inside" stuff. Allen rubs his scar. Maybe if I didn't have this hideous scar, I would have a chance at getting a girlfriend.

The clock now read 10:52.

"Well, I should start to head over now."

Allen picked up his backpack and walked into the hallway. It was surprisingly quieter than usual. Master Cross probably doesn't have one of his ' friends' over today. Allen made sure not to make any loud steps, or he would face Cross with his daily hangover. But there was no point, because a loud crash is heard by Allen and Cross from the kitchen. Allen runs to see what had fallen. He sees a shattered cup on the floor and a long, stripped tail hanging out of the cup board.

"Timcanpy, what are you doing in there?" The orange and white cat turns around and meows at Allen.

"What did you do!?" yells Cross from his room.

"It wasn't me Master, it was Tim!"

"There you go again blaming the cat! Clean it up!"

Why does he always take the cat's side!?

Allen pulls out the broom and dustpan from the pantry and starts to pick up the broken glass. Timcanpy jumps down from the cup board and rubs Allen's leg, trying to receive Allen's forgiveness.

"What? Do you think I can forgive you that easily?"

Allen nudges Timcanpy with his elbow. But Timcanpy kept coming back to rub his leg harder and harder each time.

"Alright,alright! I forgive you! Now, will you go away. You might step on the tiny shards." Tim walks away and jumps on the couch to licks his paws. I wish I was a cat. I wouldn't have to deal with anyone... Allen throws the pieces of glass away, and leaves out the front door, making sure to slam it hard enough for Cross to hear it.


Allen stares at the blue, wooden door in front of him. He raises his hand, prepares himself to knock, but lowers his arm. Come on, don't be a coward! Man up! He knocks on the door three times. Voices can be heard from the other side. Oh yeah, her brother is here too.

Lenalee answers the door.

"Yay, Allen! You're here! Come inside!"

"Uh, ok."

Lenalee steps over to let Allen in. This place in pretty spacious.

"You can sit on the couch. Let me go get my brother."

Lenalee runs down the hall to her brother's study.

Allen sits on the couch and rubs the sweat from his hands on his jeans. I've never been this nervous before. God, I'm such a girl!

Lenalee walks into the living room with her brother. Komui's eyes widen.

"This is my brother, Komui. Brother, this is my friend Allen."

"Nice to meet you." says Allen nervously.

"Um, Lenalee. Can I talk to you for a second?" says Komui quietly.

"Sure."

Komui takes Lenalee's hand and directs her to the kitchen.

"Lenalee, you didn't tell me your friend was a boy!" whispers Komui.

"Does it really matter. He's just a friend."

"But! He's a BOY! And you are a girl!"

"It's not like we are going to kiss or anything!"

"But Lenalee!-"

"Brother, if it makes you feel better, you can sit in the living room with us while we do our project. How does that sound?"

" Fine but-"

"Alright, now let me bring my stuff."

Lenalee strides off to her room to get her supplies. Komui composes himself and goes back into the living room. He finds Allen looking at the pictures on the living room walls. Most of them are family photos, before Lenalee and Komui's parents passed away. Allen could see that Lenalee had her mother's beauty and her father's eyes.

"Hey, your named is Allen, right?" asks Komui.

Allen looks towards Komui's direction. "Y-yes."

"Don't try anything with my sister, got it?"

"Uh, yes! I got it!" What the heck!? Why would I do that!? I don't like her like THAT!

"Alright. I'll let you two start your project. If you need help, come ask me."

"OK..."

Komui walks passed Lenalee in the hallway.

"You're not going to sit in?"

"No, I've changed my mind."

"O...Kay...?"

Lenalee finds Allen pale-faced and covered in sweat.

"Are you alright Allen!? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

"I..I'm fine..."

"Wait...! Did my brother say something to you?"

"No, he didn't say anything!" Allen waves both of his hands in front of his face.

"Alright... so lets get started shall we?"

"Yeah! Let's do this!"

The truth was, Allen DID like Lenalee in THAT way, he just hasn't realized it... And the same went for Lenalee.
