Hello everyone~

Firstly, let me tell you something about this story.

I tried to make a really light school story. Short, without complicated plot... Just like the typical shoujo. I don't know if it convince you to read it, but... What else can I say? It's this a kind of story which you can read to pass the time... or something. It focuses on friendship and how one person can change someone's every-day reality.

And because it's a school fic, a lot of things are different then original. Also, be prepared for some unusual changes in characters history and roles. I tried to make things simple, but I'm aware of the fact that not everyone will like it.

Even so I hope you'll enjoy ^^

Important info! For my own convenience and to make things easier, the main characters (Allen, Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda) are the same age.

"Lenalee~"

Lenalee didn't have to see to know who was calling her. She could recognize her older brother's voice anywhere. Especially when he was calling her like that. He was the only person who pronounced her name with so much tenderness that it was like he was calling a child. So Lenalee sighed and let her classmates know that they could go ahead to their next class without her, and she would join them later. After the group of girls left, Lenalee turned around to face her brother.

"What's the matter, brother?" she asked with her typical sweet smile. As she knew with Komui, it could be nothing, he used to accost her in school just to talk with her or more likely, spend the whole break admiring how cute she was or making sure that no boy tried to pick her up.

But this time was different. This time Komui was serious. He gently grabbed her shoulder and pulled her away to clear the way for students walking to their classes. Lenalee instantly knew it was something important.

"You know... A new student started attending my class today. And... he has a little problem... He has difficulty getting along with his classmates. He's kind of a unique person, the class is having problems with accepting him and I really don't want him to be all alone... I would like you to help him acclimate to school, maybe it'll help him make some friends... You know..."

Lenalee should really have expected this. It was the first time that her brother was a homeroom teacher and it was very important for him. He tried his best to solve each and every problem of his students. He didn't want anyone to be lonely and alienated so he'd always keep his eye on everyone. He was very ambitious, just as every beginning teacher usually was. That's why a new student having integration difficulties was a big problem to him. But Lenalee didn't mind helping her brother. She supposed this boy was just shy and that's the reason why he couldn't get along with his classmates. She wasn't even afraid of this 'uniqueness', whatever it was. Komui always lay things on thick...

"No problem, brother. Just leave it to me."

~\*/~

Lenalee was a very well liked person. She had a lot of friends throughout the whole school, and it was hard to find a person who would said something bad about her. She had that special something that made people quickly start to like her. She could find common ground with almost anyone. Nonetheless when it came to her best friends, they were very... unique people. Especially her two closest friends, who were very, very unusual boys. In both appearance and personality...

Unfortunately, Lavi and Kanda were in different classes, so Lenalee couldn't see them as much as she wanted in school. The time she didn't spend with them, she spent with her classmates. She was in middle of one of their girlish talks when some girl called her.

"Lenalee, someone is asking for you."

It couldn't be Lavi or Kanda. They never asked, they just came in just like it was their own classroom. The same went with her brother... Well, actually, none of her friends would ask at all. Every person that came to her mind would just come in and say, 'Hi, Lenalee, could you come with me?' or just found some free space to take a seat... So it must've been the boy that Komui was talking about during the previous break.

Lenalee apologized to her classmates for leaving in the middle of a conversation and approached door to see this 'unique person'. And well... It was probably the first time when her brother used the word 'unique' in the proper way...

The boy standing in front of her had a completely white hair and what's more, a rather unusual scar on the left side of his face that started on his forehead, trailed down through his eyebrow, eyelid and cheek and ended on his chin. Moreover, when Lenalee looked down, she could see his left hand was also very strange. Now she could understand why his classmates had so much difficulty with befriending him. He was kinda scary.

"Hello, I'm Allen Walker. Mr. Komui told me you would show me around," he said with a gentle smile. And Lenalee had to confess that despite this scar and hand, he smiled in an astonishingly cute way...

"A-Ah... My pleasure, I'm Lenalee Lee." After a little while, Lenalee finally responded while reaching out a hand. But all of a sudden Allen stepped back, which completely dumbfounded her. It was a first time that someone reacted in this way when she reached out a hand to greet them.

"I'm sorry, but I can't..." he mumbled. Lenalee was about to think he was totally strange, when he spoke again. "Mr. Komui said he would definitely kill me if I dare touch her precious little sister in any way..."

She should guessed it... It was so very typical for Komui... He could be incredibly scary when it came to his sister's safety. But still, it was quite burdensome for Lenalee.

"Don't mind him. He's a little overprotective, that's all."

In moments like this, Lenalee really wanted the ground to open up. Her brother really exaggerated sometimes... At the beginning of each term he reminded each class that every boy had to stay away from his sweet little sister. He made sure everyone knew that if he heard that some bastard had tried to hit on Lenalee, they could say goodbye to their bastard life. Being interested in Lenalee concerned each and every male in whole school, or more like whole world. Komui disapproved of every boy that talked or even smiled at Lenalee, with the exception Lavi and Kanda. Komui had known them for a long enough amount of time that he knew they didn't pose a threat against Lenalee. Still, he tried to control them. Especially the redheaded flirt...

Lenalee managed to explain to Allen her brother's behavior, so she could start showing him school. It wasn't a big building, but the white haired boy confessed he had had something like homeschooling so far, (he cringed thinking about his teacher, Cross), so this school seemed huge to him. So Lenalee wanted to show him everything, hoping it would help him. At first she wasn't sure if Allen would be able to remember all these new things, but he assured her that he had a good memory so he would be fine.

Even if she had only spent a little while with him, she was able to learn more about him. She discovered that he wasn't as bad as he seemed to be. Actually, he was a very polite, cheerful boy. Sometimes he acted like real gentleman and Lenalee was positively surprised by this. It wasn't common among boys she knew... That's why she was little disappointed when someone interrupted them in middle of their tour. But she couldn't help it, it was pretty important.

"Don't worry, you've shown me pretty much everything anyway. Thank you very much," he said, when he saw her hesitate. He hadn't meant to cause problems for her. He knew perfectly well that Lenalee had helped him simply because her brother had asked her, so he didn't want to steal too much of her time.

"You're welcome," she said with smile, even if she still wasn't sure if leaving Allen alone was good decision. He was so nice and she didn't want him to be lonely. That's why before she could even think about what she was going to propose him, she was already talking. "Tomorrow... If you don't have any plans, it would be nice if we could have lunch together. How about we meet in my classroom? You have been there already, so you should know how to get there, right?"

Allen wasn't really sure how he should respond to this proposition. He was pretty sure Lenalee said it just out of politeness and in that case he should politely refuse, but... he also had to admit to himself that he really enjoyed her company and he really wanted to spend more time with her ...

It was a hard decision.

"Sure. I'll be there," he finally answered, smiling cheerfully. Lenalee smiled back and then she walked away. Allen took a deep breath and suddenly his cheeks turned red. When he thought about it more, it sounded like she'd asked him out... He knew there was no way Lenalee had thought about it that way, but still... He couldn't help but let out a chuckle when he realized that if this conversation were heard from the outside, it would've sounded like they were having a date. If Komui heard it, Allen would've been murdered without having a chance to explain himself.

Still thinking about it, Allen started to walk back to his classroom. Unfortunately he hadn't noticed a certain long haired boy and accidentally bumped into him.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't..." He stopped to apologize when he saw famous Kanda's murderous glance. It make the blood run cold in Allen's veins, and he decided to stay quiet.

"Watch your step, beansprout!" hissed Kanda. Allen blinked.

"B-beansprout...?"

"Just move, you're standing in my way." Kanda seemed really upset. But the same went for Allen.

"You should be nicer. This corridor is wide enough that you could just pass me by and..."

"You really want me to kick your ass beansprout?"

"Actually, my name is Allen."

"So what?"

Allen and Kanda were getting more and more annoyed. Nevertheless, neither of them wanted to give up. Kanda couldn't let someone off the hook who dared to stand in his way even if he was in a hurry to get to his PE classes and Allen couldn't forgive him calling him 'beansprout' twice even if he really didn't want to get in trouble on the first day at school. So they decided to continue their pointless fight. Or more like they wanted to continue, and then they heard the school bell. Allen had to choose between continuing their argument and going on to his lesson, and so did Kanda. They eventually left it with Kanda's 'tch' and Allen's 'ugh', and they both decided to never talk to each other again.

Unfortunately for them, a little earlier Lenalee had already decided something different...
