Lavi talked animatedly as he led Allen and Kanda to the roof of the school. Kanda barely paid attention and Allen had no choice but to pay attention since he kept asking her questions. All she wanted to do was get lost in her thoughts like she was sure Kanda was. But she didn't want to be rude to one of her first friends at the school.
"Here we are Moyashi-chan." Lavi exclaimed when he slammed open the door. They were the only ones outside so it was quiet minus Lavi's excited shouting. "Great view right Allen?" all she did was nod and stare at the December sky.
Lucky for them the wind wasn't to chill and was barely blowing, the perfect chance for lunch on the rooftop. Then Allen spotted a gold spot flying towards her at an incredible speed and it wasn't until it crashed into her face that she realized what it was.
"Tim I thought I left you at home." She stated in surprise as her golden bird nuzzled her face as a sign of submission and plea for forgiveness. "Your bird flew all the way here to see you?" Lavi asked stupidly. Allen then noticed a noted attached to Timcampy's leg. "There's a note attached to him." Allen said as she took a seat on the roof to eat.
Kanda took the spot to the left of her and Lavi took the right. Unraveling the paper she found that it was from Cross but was typed instead of written in his chicken scratch. (A/N: I think Cross would have horrible handwriting and Allen writes everything for him.) "What does it say?" Lavi asked.
Allen read the note to herself and it said: Dear apprentice, I received a letter at the beginning of the week that your old friend Narain will be visiting from India. He said that there was a school that he is attending for his medical studies which is near us. So he'll be staying with us for a while. P.S. He'll be here tomorrow.
Allen crumpled the paper and the boys next to her waited to see her reaction. "Cross, you troll." She whispered. "What happened?" Kanda asked in a disinterested tone and began eating his soba. Allen and Lavi too began unwrapping their lunches.
"An old friend of mine will be staying with Cross and me for a while. Problem is that I haven't seen or talked to him for about a month." Allen told them as she munched on her dango. "So is he like an old boyfriend or something?" Lavi asked which got him a pointed glare from the snow haired female. "No we just had a falling out. That's all."
20 minutes later they went back down the stairs to roam the hallway when Lavi decided to ask another question. "Allen do you play?" Kanda gave him a pointed look and Allen looked confused. "Yes I do, why do you ask?" "Well I just want to know more about you that's all and I just wanted to see because I heard some singing and piano playing coming from the music room yesterday."
Kanda wanted to strangle the rabbit at this point. But since he refrained from mentioning his person he'll let it slide for now. "That was me, if you were wondering." Allen stated, she never liked guessing games like this. "Allen you sound really good. Why don't you like, perform at shows or theaters?" Allen shrugged "I gave up piano a long time ago, that's all."
"But you sounded like you never stopped. Just ask Yuu, we both heard you." Lavi exclaimed, now Kanda would kill him. Allen looked up at the long haired samurai in question. He turned away and nodded in confirmation. Which Lavi took as a yes, "See Yuu agrees with me." Lavi nearly shouted "I want to hear you again. Can you play something else?"
Allen stopped walking at the question, her head bowed. They couldn't see her eyes but they were extremely wide and dilated to the point that Timcampy was flying about in warning. "Moyashi-chan? Hey Allen!" Lavi exclaimed as she began to fall over again. Luckily she was caught by Kanda.
"Allen I want to hear you play some more. Will you play something else for your mother?"
"Mama…" Allen mumbled before her eyes slowly opened. She slowly adjusted to the bright light in her eyes as well as the two figures trying to argue quietly above her. Neither had realized she had awoken and continued on with their argument.
"What the hell were you thinking telling her that we heard her play?" 'Kanda?' "I just wanted to know, can't a guy ask questions once in a while?" 'Lavi?' "You stupid rabbit now she's fainted again and it was probably because of your stupid questions!" that was said with some venom, it must have been Kanda. "But I didn't mean to make her faint, I don't even know what I said."
Allen groaned at the conversation they had. Luckily that made them both stop to look at her. Lavi nearly hugged her (probably would have had she not been in a bed). "Allen you're awake." The nurse busted in at that. She shoved them away from her bed and moved to examine Allen's eyes and face.
"Just as I feared, you relapsed because you got a mild concussion from your fall yesterday." She said. "How bad is she?" Lavi asked, concern evident on his face. Kanda managed to hide it well but he was just as worried. "It's not as bad as it could have been, like I said it's a mild concussion. However she should try to avoid stress inducing activities of any kind."
The nurse released her after letting them know she would have to call her uncle, again. "That's fine I'll talk to him later." She said as they exited the office. The trio had about 10 minutes left until it was time for them to go to the next class.
"So Allen" Lavi began "are you sure you're okay?" he asked. Allen gave him a smile "Yes I'm okay Lavi, don't worry so much okay." "But you fainted for the second time this week, how can I not worry?" he exclaimed. "It's not like you were the one who caused me to faint, its fine." She told a half-truth. "I'll be fine, I promise." There she goes lying again.
Lavi backed down some, feeling slightly better about not being the one who caused her second fainting spell. "Well if you say so." Lavi said skeptically. The bell rang after another ten minutes of the three of them talking. Well Lavi talking, Allen answering with nods and Kanda just walking with them. After they said their good-byes Allen went back to her locker in order to grab anything she may need for her art class.
Retrieving her journal, a sketchbook and her bag of pencils she closed her locker door and headed down towards Tiedoll's classroom. When she turned around to go to class she nearly bumped into Road.
"Hey Allen you going to class?" she asked excitedly. Allen could only nod. She didn't even notice her until she turned around. "Are you headed to Mr. Tiedoll's class by any chance?" "Yes I am." Allen answered hesitantly. "Great then I'll show you where it is. I just so happen to have that class with you." Road exclaimed before nearly dragging Allen to the art classroom.
Once they entered the classroom they were greeted by Tiedoll's Nostalgic smile as he painted who knows what. Sitting at their easels, Allen recognized, Reika, Tyki, Lenalee, and one of her friends, Chelsea Harmon. She seemed like a nice person, with her dark brown curly hair and dark green eyes, but Allen wasn't sure since she was a friend with Lenalee. But then there was another girl she didn't recognize sitting in the back by the window.
Her hair was a very light blonde, almost platinum, and from what Allen could tell she had very light eye, much like herself.
"I'm glad you could finally make it Allen, why don't you take a seat next to Angel." He said gently. Allen assumed it was the girl she didn't know and slowly walked over to the vacant seat next to her, which was also next to Tyki and behind Lenalee.
"Luckily the class is finishing up a previous project before the break. Since there are too many steps involved you won't have time to finish it, so you are welcome to paint whatever you like or do any sort of work you might have." He told her without taking his eyes off of his painting.
Allen nodded, and pulled out a journal. It was what she used to write all of her songs. She turned to her page titled Heart Rate and began writing.
