-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"No" Alice watched Ace's slow approach, not wanting to engage him in unnecessary conversation.
"Mr. Kitty lives in that room right?"
"Don't call Boris that" Ace just smiled
"You're looking for him aren't you?" Alice sighed and nodded "Well you missed him. He literally just left."
Alice looked at him skeptically "If he just left then why didn't we pass each other at the elevator?"
"He took the service stairs"
"What stairs?"
"The ones located at the end of the hall" Ace pointed down the hall way "in case of a power outage or fire" he stated as if he had already explained this to her countless times
"Gee thanks for letting me know" She said sarcastically "Do you know where Boris went?"
Ace put a hand against his chin in thought "Hm well he asked me if I'd seen you and I told him that I noticed you being dragged off by some boys towards H-dorm, he ran off without saying where he was going" Ace looked down at Alice but she had already ran down the hall. "Where are you going now?"
"To get Boris" Alice jabbed the elevator button repeatedly until it finally dinged and the doors opened I don't want him involved with people like that. As the doors closed Ace came to stand in front of the elevator not attempting to get in just watching her as she watched him slide out of view I wonder what Ace's family does?
Alice dashed out of the dormitory and back to H-dorm where she nearly ran right into Blood Dupre "Alice" he said calmly
"Have you seen a boy with pink hair, cat ears, a tail and black clothes?" She asked quickly
"Oh you mean-" Elliot was standing beside Blood and attempted to answer her but Blood raised a hand to silence him.
"It's too bad you couldn't stay for tea"
"Sorry about that but I really need to find him" Blood looked less than pleased.
"Perhaps a boy who looked like that came by. Come back inside and we can check" He attempted to reach for her hand but Alice pulled back.
"Perhaps? Either he did or he didn't" Elliot cracked a smile at the girls retort
"And I'm telling you there is a chance he may have" Blood reached for her arm again then halted Alice had flinched but opened her eyes quickly when she felt an arm drape around her shoulders instead of Bloods grip. She looked up into Ace's serious face, he wasn't looking back at her but towards Blood who glared right back.
"And who are you?" Blood asked with an air of authority
"I'm her personal Knight" Ace smiled
"Aren't you that crazy second year?" Elliot asked
"Alice doesn't need a Knight right now" Blood reach for Alice's free arm, both the guys were ignoring Elliot's question
"Are you so sure Mafioso?" Ace's grip tightened on Alice's arm painfully he took a step back and brought Alice with him away from Blood
Blood glared at him "Hey Blood maybe you should take a breath" Elliot could sense his temper rising and reaching the point of no return.
"Yes Blood maybe you should" Ace goaded a nerve twitched in Bloods right eye
"Ace shut up" Alice hissed
"You best listen to her" Blood seethed "before I cut your tongue out"
Is he serious?
"Blood please remember the last time..." Elliot began weakly
Last time!
"Let's get out of her Ace." Alice pulled out from his grasp but grabbed his hand with both of hers trying to tug him away "Elliot if you see Boris please send him my way" Elliot nodded and Alice succeeded in turning Ace away from his match with Blood.
"My what nice roses you have Blood" Ace couldn't seem to stop when he was ahead "Quite the symbolism of your sexuality. I'm proud of you for coming out of the closet" Ace gave his signature sinister smile and that was all it took for Blood to finally snapped. A chain of swears and threats flowed through his mouth while he grabbed Ace by the shoulder and took a swing at him.
Ace ducked and kicked Blood's legs out from under him laughing as the Mafioso scrambled to his feet but before the two could get into a really serious fight Dee, Dum and Boris came rushing out the door.
"Oniisan!" The twins called
"Boris!" Alice shouted
"Alice" Boris smiled at her
"Ace!" Ace called out everyone turned to look at him "I felt left out" he shrugged.
"You came back Alice" Dee and Dum grinned at her
"I was looking for Boris"
"I was looking for you. I thought you might have stood me up" He blushed
"No they dragged me off" Alice took in how comfortable Boris looked standing by the twins "Do you know them Boris?"
"Yeah we went to grade school together"
"Told you we had other friends Alice"
"Boris you're not" Alice leaned to whisper in his ear "connected with the mafia are you?"
Boris laughed "Nope. The old man would kill me. He really hates the Dupre's but he can't stop me from being friends with who I want"
"That's all peachy keen," Blood was still seething with rage "but I'm not finished with him" He jerked his head in a motion towards Ace who twisted his head around looking for someone behind him.
"Who?" Ace asked oblivious to the fact that he was just in a fight with the angry man
"We should be going now" Alice grabbed Boris' hand and Ace's then dragged the two away when the bell sounded calling an end to lunch.
"Looks like I better get going" Ace waved and ran off on his own
"I have to get my stuff for class" Alice shouted and ran towards the dorm with Boris in tow
"What for us!" Dee and Dum scampered off in suit.
"I hate him" Blood growled referring to Ace
"I wish I had first year Biology" Elliot sighed, Blood turned his glare to Elliot instead who panicked "Um I mean..."
"Let's go" Blood stalked towards his next class.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Why is this school so weird?
I mean the mafia. Really!
And Boris willingly hangs around them
If I ever find out he plans on joining them I'll flip!
Although I don't mind Elliot that much...still if it was Boris it may be different.
Oh god will he move into that dorm next year?
It's only meant for mafia crime ridden families...
But Dee and Dum are his friends...
Oh god what dorm am I going to move into?
I need to get more information on the other dorms sometime.
"Hey Alice wasn't class boring today?" Dee asked drawing her back to reality
"Oh yeah" She mumbled walking with Dee and Dum back to the dormitory
"Are you okay Alice?" Dum asked
"Yeah"
"Do you not want to be our friend anymore" The two questioned seriously standing in front of her with their arms crossed and frowns in place
Friends. I never had too many of those.
"Of course I still want to be your friend." She smiled at them tenderly they in turn grinned and each pecked her cheeks "but that doesn't mean you guys can do things like that!" They laughed and dashed away from her while she chased after them threatening to beat them down.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Alice slipped into her room and let out a sigh which was drowned out by her stomach growling "Ugh. I. Need. Food." She opened her mini fridge. Nothing but milk and juice. NOTHING! She slammed the door a with a kick "I need a job too"
A knock sounded at her door "Hey Alice is everything okay in there?" Boris asked worried.
Alice rushed to the door and opened it for him "Hey everything is fine but I'm glad you came over" She pulled him in and ran to the living room area where his cat ears sat "Here you go we never got to meet at lunch" She smiled
"Oh really you should keep them, you looked so cute in them"
"Please Boris I did not" He smiled and proceeded to clip them back into her hair
"Just give them one more try" he patted her on the head
"Fine" She caved to hungry to really care her stomach growled on cue
Boris laughed "Speaking of lunch you must have missed yours"
"I'm fine I was just going to whip something up before music class tonight"
"Yeah? Mind if I join we've got a couple hours until class" He headed towards the fridge
"No don't!" But it was too late Boris had opened the fridge saw that few contents and began laughing so hard he fell on to the floor He gives real meaning to ROFL
"Cut it out Boris"
"I can't" he laughed more "You have no food!" more laughing "And you acted all disapproving of my fridge"
"I have more than you do"
"Yeah Milk" She could barely make out his words
"And Juice!" She stamped her foot "I'm sooory I don't have tons of money to spend on food"
Boris sobered immediately "Wait you don't even have cash to buy food at the cafeteria?"
"Have you seen the price of food there!"
"Why didn't you say something to the principal before? I thought scholarship students were taken care of in that department"
"Well they asked if extra money for food would be needed, but I thought I had enough of my own money to purchase a meal ticket. Of course I should have known better the required texts and novels were way more expensive than I expected"
"You had a chance for a free meal ticket and you turned it down?"
"I don't want to take charity. I have a free room I just didn't think I'd need the board part so I declined it" She smiled meekly
"Well have my meal ticket then I can always buy another"
"Boris are you even listening to me right now. I don't want your charity either"
"It's not charity. You can pay me back another way" Boris made himself blush at the ideas of payment that ran through his head having seen her underclothing the other night just fuelled his imagination.
"What way is that?"
"Video games" he unconsciously answered
"That's ridiculous"
"Fine then you can pay me back in cash when you have it until then video games" He smiled "Deal?" He held his hand out looking a little silly still sitting on the floor.
"Deal" Alice shook his hand and he pulled her down with him they nearly collided into each other Boris had meant to laugh are her angry expression but instead he just stared into her teal eyes while his heart skipped a beat "Boris" Alice warned
"Let's get some food" He stood up and pulled her with him and out the door "My treat just for tonight" When they reached the cafeteria Boris ordered them a meal and sat at one of the two person tables. Alice scarfed down the food Boris just watched in amazement "You must have been hungry"
"Mhm" She smiled contently, her mood had lightened after the delicious meal Getting his meal ticket doesn't seem that awful now that I know what I have to look forward too
"You didn't even notice everyone staring" He teased
"Staring? At what? How I was eating?" Alice was royally confused; Boris just laughed placed a hand around her head and pulled her in close to him to whisper "You are still wearing the cat ears" then nuzzled his face in said cat ear.
"Oh god" Alice groaned burying her face in her hands listening to Boris continuing laughter "Awe come on Alice it's not that bad"
