" Hey where are you going?.."following behind ask Raven.
"Aren't you supposed to be standing on the hall way?.."without looking says Allen
"Nah!..I'd rather follow you.." with a big smile say Raven.
Allen sighed he really hate talkative person.
They walk through the hall way with Raven keep talking and talking, and Allen without interest walk as fast as he could.
Allen saw the room that the teacher told him to get some books.When he open the room its too dark and he was freeze in the door while holding the doorknob.
" Whats wrong?.." seeing his reaction Raven look inside the room and greeted by the darkness of the room.
"Go inside.."Allen look to Raven.
"Hmmm?.. why me?.."
Allen look at Raven with the expression of and why not?..
" Fine whatever!.." Raven enter the room and tried to look for the light switch.When the dark room lightend up he look to Allen.
"Satisfied?.."
Allen sighed and enter the room.He look for the book that teacher told him to take.He saw it in the corner with so many dusk on top.After removing the dusk while coughing, he took it all but because the book are so many it almost cover his vision.
"Need a hand?..while smiling Raven took some of the book untill Allen can see his front view.
"Thanks.."
Allen walk in front with the book in his front holding with both hands while Raven following him behind.Because the book is heavy Allen tried to walk faster, but when he turned to a corner he didn't notice the student that also in a hurry so he bump to him.They both fall down and the books that Allen are holding all spread down
" Are you blind?while holding his butt says the boy.
" What happened?!"some of the student that maybe friend of the one that Allen bump asked.
" This stupid bump on me!.."pointing to Allen.He recovered from his fall and standing in front of Allen who's picking up the book that spread in the floor.
"Hey kid!.don't you know how to use your eyes?" standing beside the boy that bump to Allen said the boy.
"You shouldn't running in the hall way specially while turning to a corner.." Allen said with a soft voice still picking the books.
" so its my fault!?.."with the indignant voice said the boy.
" that come from you. "
" what! you!..."
" Hey your new here huh?!.." looking at Allen said the other boy.
"don't you know me.." pointing to himself said the other boy that seem to be there leader.Allen stand up holding the books again in both hands and he look to the boy that pointing himself.
" I don't need to know.." looking at the eyes of the boy Allen said with a poker face.
"Looking highly of your self?.."said the boy with a sarcastic voice.
"Arrogant brat!.." said the boy that he bump while his hand cross in his chess looking to Allen raising one of his eyebrow.
Allen make a heavy sighed and walk through the center of the two boys.
"So annoying.."he said softly when he walk pass through.
"what!?.."
The leader look at the two boys standing behind him giving instruction using his eye.
One of the boy put his feet in front of Allen.And because of the books his holding Allen didn't saw it.He fall down really hard.
"Ah!.."
The four boys laughing at loud seeing what happened.
Holding his knee Allen try to rub it, to ease the pain.
"Seriously are elementary kids?.."looking at them said Allen still rubbing his knee" so lame.."
"seems like you haven't learned your lesson?.." the boys leader smirking at him while the other three still laughing.
"what a pain!.."
" what?!.."the four boys look behind them trying to see the one who talk.They can't see his face clearly because his holding the book almost near his nose.
"are you crazy?! .." said one of the boy that trip Allen.
" Yes I'm crazy..so!..so!..." putting down the book he look at the four boys with both hand on his waist.
"Raven!.."looking at him with a big eyes says the four boys..
" ah...really!..you four rotten egg!.." Raven pointing to the four."are you trying to mess with me?!.."he said in a stern and dangerous voice.The four boys fall down on there knees in front of Raven..
"K..king!.. we didn't know his your friend!.."said their leader while stuttering.
The other three just bow there head afraid of his anger.
"His not my friend.." Allen said his already standing.And trying to pick the book.
"Ah..don't say that!.."change his expression Raven said to Allen smiling.
"apologizes to him!.."Raven said looking at the four boys with a serious face.
"sorry...sorry..sorry..." the four boys said in a hurry bowing to Allen while on there knee.
" forget it,..just leave!.."Allen dismissing them without even looking.
The four boys hurriedly stand and run faster away from them.
" You just let them go?.." looking at them ask Raven.
" What? you want to beat them?.."
" If you want?".. smiling said Raven.
Alllen look at him with one eyebrow raised.He can't believe what he hear.
"What?.."asked Raven,he didn't know what he said wrong and Allen looking at him like his an i***t.
"Just say the word I will beat those who want to bully you.." with a big smile Raven said.
Allen left him trying to get away from him he walk faster.
"Hey! wait for me!..?"did I say something wrong?.Raven thought to himself while trying to catch up to Allen.
Allen saw their driver waiting for him in the gate after the class.
" Young Master.." he greeted him.Allen slightly bow his head in response and get in the car. He look at the student laughing and bickering leaving the school gate walking by partner or group.Its anusual
for him to see those kind of things.In his previous school everyone leaving the school is riding a car.All the car park outside the gate.Student leave one by one without smiling or talking to other student or their classmate.All their moves are counted and all their faces are serious.Its rarely to see a smiling student and you can never hear them lough.
Turning to a corner Allen saw Raven with Troy,Cloe,Liz and the class reps Lex and some of their other classmate.They are happily chatting going to the station of the school bus where some other student already waiting.Troy seems to telling a joke and everyone is laughing.His car pass near them but they didn't notice since the window of the car is tented.He watch them laughing and bickering in the side view mirror until he can no longer see them.He adjust his head in the headrest of the chair and close his eye.When he open his eyes they already arrived in the mansion.The head maid greet him and took his things.
"Do you want to eat your dinner Allen?.."
"uhmmm..yes please.."
"Go change your school uniform and I will prepare it for you,.."
"thanks,.."he smile at her.
Only the head maid call him in his name.
Going to his room he change his uniform to a comfortable house shirt and pajama.After wash he go to the dinning area and saw the long 10 seated dinning table but only one plate on it.
"Dad?.."looking at the headmaid standing near him Allen ask,though he already know the answer.
"His still in the company."she replied smiling
Allen sigh.
" Join me then,I don't want to eat alone."
The head maid instructed the other maid serving him to add a plate.She join him in the table.They eat quietly but sometimes the head maid ask him some question about his new school.
" Do you have a new friend?"
He remember the smiling face of Raven.
" No."
" You should make more friends.." she said looking at him with worried face.Allen is a kind and smart kid.But because of his silence and not showing emotion, other student think his rude and aloft.So its hard for him to make friends in school.And some student pick him at school there are instance when he was still in grade school he will come home with bruise or dirty clothes.But he never told his father nor going home crying.He will just tell them he was trip or fall.His not actually like that when he was a kid his a cheerful and active kid.He always play in their garden and you can hear his laugh echoing inside the mansion.That's before here mother died.The scar that keep hunting him every night.
After finishing the meal Allen go back to his room and do his assignment.
"where Am I?.. Mom..m..da..ad!" looking around he saw nothing but darkness.His seating in a chair.He tried to move but with no effect.He tried to shout again and again.Until he feel his chest getting heavier.
"I can't breath mo..om..da..ad..I ca..nt breath..!"
trying to catch his breath Allen tried to free himself from the chair.He can't control his panic.His afraid of darkness.
"Allen!.." He heard someone call for him.
"Allen.."
" Mom.."
Then he saw the door forcefully open.
"Yoh!.."He saw Raven with a big smile waving for him.
Allen woke up panting and trying to catch his breath.His so sweaty.There head maid is beside her bed waking her up.
"You ok Allen?.."She gave him water.
"Another bad dream?.."He took the water and drink it straight.Then he nod to her.
"I'm ok now nana.."
"Do you want to drink hot milk?.. He shake his head and the head maid left the room.
Still trying to calm himself Allen open the music box that was before her mother keepsake.The sound of it always calm him down.He can't believe he saw that noisy kid in his dream.He sighed thinking about the dream.Its only 4 o'clock in the morning and he know that he cannot go back to sleep.So he just took some book and read it until 7 o'clock in the morning.
