Thank you to all of you reading this story. I couldn't have made it this far without you guys. Thank you to Kurosakura1925 and ZeroHakurei for suggesting some songs (by the way I like all of them), and thank you for always reviewing. All of you who review, favorite, and follow this story, make my day even if it's a sad, dull day. I don't own DGM, Katsura Hoshino does.
Allen made his way to his first class, English, and since school started late, he spent less time with his crazy uncle. Then he went to his History class with Mr. Yeager, and to his disappointment, Kanda decided to show up to class. From History he went to his Art class, and had to suffer with all of the dolphin killers but he was praised by Tiedoll. From Art, he went to P.E. and he got Socalo to let them play basketball again so that Allen and Lavi would get a rematch. After winning Lavi's team in basketball again, Allen went to Math where he encountered Cross. The whole time Allen was in Cross' classroom, both of them were arguing. Then after Math, Allen went to the cafeteria for lunch and saw the familiar red haired pirate rabbit. With the red head following him, he made his way towards the lunch line and ordered his half a ton food.
"Heyya beansprout," Lavi inspected Allen's face and saw something out of place. "What's wrong? Bad day?" They made their way towards a lunch table and sat down, while continuing their conversation.
"Yeah, I had to wake up early, Neah was in the same room as me and he was still whining about how much he missed me. Then I had BaKanda for History, which he actually attends. Then I barely had Cross, he may be my adoptive father, but I'd rather have Neah as my legal guardian." Allen ranted to his heart's content, while Lavi listened.
"Would you really want him as your guardian? I mean, yeah, he's cool and all, but every time he sees you, he tries to hug you to death. Cross is cool and he doesn't like hugs, I don't know how much more you want."
"Damn, I never thought of it like that. You have opened my eyes and taught me the right way," Allen bowed while continuing his little speech. "Teach me your ways, chosen one."
"My ways cannot be taught to mere mortals like you. To reach my level, you must swallow mustard, pat your head and rub your tummy while having your hair on fire, and the most deadly of all, you must annoy the living hell out of Yuu."
"Annoy the hell out of me? And why do I have to do so much to be like you? You're just a rabbit that hops all over the place." By now, Lavi could be seen in a dark corner in fetal position with rivers of tears rushing out of him. In the brighter corner Allen could be seen enjoying his plate of mitarashi dango, as if he hasn't noticed Lavi suffering.
"Hey Lavi, you're getting the floor all wet. You better stop crying, you're a teenager already."
"Physically, I'm a teenager. But I have the mentality of a five year old!" Lavi sounded as if he was proud of the fact he just presented.
"Hate to break it to you, Lavi, but that's not exactly a good thing. You see, people want other people to be mature when they reach a certain age."
"I'm still in the younger ages, right?" Allen looked away from him and started to laugh. At first he was trying to contain it, but then he let it go and was holding his aching sides.
"Y-yo-ou? Y-yo-ou-ung?" Allen took a while to calm down, and when he did, he kept insulting Lavi. "It's ok Lavi, you're younger than most elders. I could see white hair growing."
"Allen, you do realize that your head is full of white hair. Does that mean you're old?" Allen looked at Lavi as if trying to comprehend what he just said. Once it looked like he understood, Black Allen came out.
"Lavi, do you want to die? How dare you say I'm old." Venom laced words came rolling off of his tongue. His already black aura, turned even darker. Lavi didn't know how that happens, so he stopped to think about it. Black Allen got tired of waiting at threw a punch at Lavi's gut.
"M-moya-ashi, I d-didn't mean t-to ins-sult you." Lavi was speaking through the pain and fear and tried to make a deal. "If it helps you calm down, I'll invite you to eat after school."
"Ok, but can we reschedule it for tomorrow? Tyki owes me food today." Black Allen was gone and by the way Allen was acting, it was as if he never appeared.
"Allen, you are one scary dude."
"What do you mean? Anyway, you wanna go tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Hey Lavi, I've been wondering for a while now, but where's Kanda and Lenalee?" Allen and Lavi heard a sneeze and looked in the direction it came from. There, they saw Lenalee and Kanda eating their food.
"When'd you guys get there, Lena-lady?"
"We were here for a while now. I'm surprised you didn't see us."
"Che, baka usagi and baka moyashi."
"So you heard everything we said? Isn't that like eavesdropping?" Lavi was glad that he didn't bring up Allen's true identity. Who knows what would have happened to him if he told them.
"So are you excited for the concert on Saturday, Lenalee?" Allen was asking because he wanted to see how she'd react, and because he wanted to get out of the awkward situation they were in.
"Oh. My. Gosh! I forgot that the concert was this Saturday! What am I going to wear?"
"Lenalee, I'm sure that whatever you'll wear, it'll look good on you." Allen was trying to get Lenalee to calm down, but instead made her even more nervous because of his compliment.
"Beansprout! I never knew you were a flirt?" Lavi had an arm dangling around Allen's neck and the other giving Allen a noogie while smiling.
"I'm not a flirt; I'm simply stating the truth to a friend. Besides, aren't flirts supposed to smoke and drink wine?"
"Beansprout, who told you that flirts drink wine and smoke?" Lavi had a stupefied expression.
"No one told me, Cross is a flirt, so I thought that every flirt was like him." Allen's answer was honest and simple.
"Don't you think it's wrong to generalize a whole group just because of one person?"
"Lavi, it sounds like you're defending flirts. Are you a flirt? If you are, I don't judge. I might stereotype, but I don't judge."
"Yes, beansprout, I'm a flirt, and a flirt knows when someone else is trying to flirt. You were definitely flirting with Lena-lady." By now Lenalee was so red that she could be the same color as Allen's shirt.
"Can you guys stop talking about flirts now? It's time to get to class." As if to prove Lenalee right, the bell rang and student began to leave the cafeteria. On their way to Music class, Allen almost tripped and his phone went flying out of his pocket. Don't ask how, it just did.
"Are you okay Allen?" A worried Lenalee asked.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. The one you should be worried about right now, would be Lavi. He's annoying BaKanda right now."
"Damn it Lavi, can't you just leave Kanda alone?"
"But Lenalee~ It's in my nature to annoy him~" Lavi was whining, while Allen went over to his phone and picked it up.
"Shit," This caught everyone's, except Kanda's, attention. "My phone cracked. What am I going to do, Cross will kill me." Allen was in the state of panic, but then he remembered about his sweet and understanding adoptive mother.
"Never mind, I have nothing to be afraid of. Let's get to class." Once again, they made their way to the classroom, where they were met with other students. Anita made her way to the front of the class as soon as the bell rang again.
"Okay class, I hope that you studied for your written test. Oh, and Allen, you're excused from this test, seeing as you barely arrived yesterday. Just get a book out and read." Once Anita was done with her announcements, she passed the tests to everyone, and went back to her desk. Allen took the liberty of watching people take the test, as creepy as it sounds, he was interested in their facial expressions. Since Allen hasn't been playing poker, he thought that his observation skills were dull. Allen looked at Lavi, and saw that he wasn't writing anything down. Lavi seemed to feel Allen's observing eyes, and looked at him.
'Why are you staring at me?' Lavi mouthed in hopes of Allen understanding.
'I'm sharpening my expression, reading skills.'
'Why do you need that?'
'I play poker, so I need to be able to read faces, but I also need to keep a poker face. Anyway are you done with your test?'
'Yeah, it was easy.'
'Really? It looks difficult by the way others' expressions are.'
'Allen you're forgetting that I have a photographic memory.'
'Oh, yeah. Well, I better stop talking to you, or mom will think I gave you the answers.'
'Kay, talk to ya later beansprout.' Lavi tried to make a seductive face, but Allen thought that he was acting stupid, so he laughed at him. That just killed Lavi, he is now depressed. Soon enough, Anita received all of the students' tests and allowed them to talk amongst themselves.
"So you play poker. I would have never thought so."
"You'd be surprised by how much you don't know about me, Lavi."
"Your life would make an interesting book. Maybe you should write one."
"Nah, too much writing involved. Yeah, it would be interesting, but it would also include a lot of money and time." The bell rang and they made their way to their next class, which only Lenalee, Lavi, and Allen had together.
"We have Science next, right?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it though Allen, our teacher is cool."
"Who's our teacher again?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Dark."
"As in Suman Dark?" Allen question was only heard by Lavi, some he replied in a hushed voice.
"Yeah, you know him?"
"You bet your ass I do."
"This will get interesting. Good luck Allen."
"Why would I need luck? Didn't you just say that he's cool?"
"Yeah, but you should see what he does with new students. It might make you want to humiliate him."
"Ok then, let's go I want to see what he does."
