To Love Ru Deviluke's Rival

Chapter Two: Making Friends ~Friendly Relations~

"Hmmm..." Xavier hummed softly to himself as he took a little time off of taking notes and looked towards the clock that hung on the wall. There were 15 minutes left of class and he couldn't wait until it was over. Firstly, history and the like was never his strong suit so he really just wanted this class to be over, and he wanted to get to know his classmates a bit more. And, even though it was a risk, he did want to talk to Nana a bit more.

With that in mind, he paid more attention to class and continued to take notes, doodling a bit on the side just to help the time pass by a little faster. And just like that, class was finally over.

"T-that's a-all for t-today's class, d-don't f-forget to do y-your h-homework assignment." Honekawa stuttered as he walked out of the classroom.

Xavier took note of that on his phone and was about to turn and talk to Nana, but noticed that he had an unfinished doodle. And unfinished doodles weren't exactly his favorite, so he worked on it and reasoned that there was no reason to rush things with him and Nana. But maybe that was just an excuse...

"Hey, Nana-chan." Mea smiled brightly to her best friend and waved at her to come over.

"Hey Mea." Nana smiled to the red-headed girl and went over to her. "What's up?"

"What do you think of the new student, Xavier?"

Nana stepped back at her sudden question and asked, "W-what do you mean? He just got here and we only greeted each other. How am I supposed to know?"

Mea smiled at her friend's reaction and explained, "That's exactly why we should go talk to him! And besides, now I'm not the only red-headed student here!"

Nana gave her a deadpan expression at her explanation and asked, "Is that the only reason you want to talk to him?"

Mea giggled and took Nana's hand, "Only part of it, now let's go!"

Xavier looked at his finished doodle with a satisfied smile on his face when he heard someone behind him say, "Hey there!"

"Hm?" Xavier turned and saw Nana with a girl that had braided red hair. "Oh, hey." He smiled at the two and asked, "What's up?"

The unfamiliar girl smiled and answered, "We just wanted to know how you feel about our school, and you're a foreigner right?"

"Uh, yeah. I am."

"Wow! That's so cool! And it's amazing how fluent your Japanese is!" Mea's eyes sparkled with amazement as she found out more about the foreign boy.

Xavier sheepishly smiled and said, "Hehe, thanks. By the way what's your name?"

"My name's Kurosaki Mea, but you can just call me Mea."

"Really?" Xavier was a little taken aback about the sudden jump to a first name basis.

"Yeah!"

"I see, how about you Nana-san?"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"I'd like to know your full name, if you don't mind. And do you want me to keep calling you Nana-san or...?" Xavier trailed off and looked to the side while waiting for her to answer.

Nana had a look of surprise on her face before she responded, "Oh, my full name is Nana Astar Deviluke, and just Nana is fine." She crossed her arms and looked away from Xavier's gaze. She seemed to be uneasy.

"Ooh, a middle name, huh? That's pretty fancy." It was a risk, but he added a little softly, " It's like you're a princess or something..." He smiled at the two as Nana's face turned to surprise, but before she could say anything, a voice interrupted her.

"Okay class, please take your seats." A new teacher walked into the classroom and everyone went to their respective seats.

Xavier waved to Mea and turned to face the teacher. And for the rest of the day, it wasn't really all that exciting. Sometimes the teacher would call on him and he would answer the question, but the breaks were more interesting since he got to know more about Nana and Mea.

And after his classes and P.E, the school day was finally over. Xavier was really happy, he had made some new friends and he also couldn't wait to rub the morning's event into Bandit's face. Man, he couldn't wait to see her reaction, so much that he ended up chuckling.

"What's so funny?" Nana was standing in front of him and had her arms crossed.

"Oh, i-it's nothing." Xavier dismissed her question, and picked up the rest of his things.

"Hmm..." Nana wasn't sure of his answer, but shrugged it off. "If you're ready, then let's go."

"What about Mea?"

"Oh, she told me she had something to do. So she left without us."

"I see... Well, I guess we should leave too." Xavier smiled and the two were about to leave the classroom, when a sweet voice called out to them. Well, it specifically called out to Nana.

"Oh, Nana, who's this? Are you friends with a new student?"

"Y-yeah, so what?" Nana replied to the mystery voice.

Xavier turned to see who was talking to her and was met with another pink haired girl. Now this could cause some trouble.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm just surprised that you were able to make another friend."

"Wha-! What's that supposed to-!"

"My name is Momo Belia Deviluke. It's nice to meet you." She held her hand out for Xavier and smiled sweetly at him.

Xavier took her hand and shook it, smiling back as he looked into her eyes that matched her sister's, but noticing something a bit off about them. "It's nice to meet you too, Momo. I'm Xavier Clark, although you know that already."

"Yeah, and I'm guessing you're a foreigner, so where-"

"Shouldn't we be going already?" Nana interrupted her sister and crossed her arms.

Momo let go of his hand and replied, "Well I would like to know more about you, Clark-san, but I guess we should get going now."

The trio walked off to their lockers and was met by an orange-haired boy with another pink-haired girl who was holding a small green-haired child with a flower on her head? And at this point Xavier had to ask why there were so many pink-haired girls, and why they all looked alike, though, he already knew why. That was when he was informed that the other pink-haired girl, Lala Satalin Deviluke, was the older sister to Nana and Momo, who were twins, and the green-haired child was an alien that was bring taken care of by the girls and Yuuki Rito. Xavier also found out that they all lived with him.

After getting to know them better they all walked home together, making small talk along the way, accepting Xavier as their new friend.

When they had to split paths, they said goodbye to each other, and Xavier strolled over to his own house. He didn't feel a need to rush and wasn't worried about Bandit being hungry, she always found a way to find the bag of dog food...

He almost missed his house, due to being so deep in thought, and what had snapped him out of it was a bark. He immediately recognized it as his pomsky's bark. It was small but powerful.

He walked backwards and stepped up to his front door, twisting the key in the keyhole. He was met with Bandit sitting on the genkan, looking up at her owner. Xavier smiled at her and gave her a gentle pet on the head.

"Did you miss me?" Xavier asked while taking off his shoes and stepping into his slippers.

...................

"Well, neither did I." Xavier crossed his arms with a small 'hmph' and went to the kitchen to eat some leftovers when he suddenly remembered...

"Hey, Bandit. You'll never guess what happened this morning..."

"Ha! Told you!"

"I-I was just in a rush, ok? I didn't have time for that, geez..."
