Cinderella's POV:
I settled down on a branch to take nice nap, sadly I couldn't fall asleep. My thoughts kept traveling back to Natsume and the blondie. Though they centered on Natsume himself. I laughed, "And I thought this school wouldn't have anyone cutting classes! That's a riot to think even schools like this one have kids like Renee!" I heard someone clear their throat and I gulped as I looked down. It was Narumi, "Wow, sure is strange to see you around here. Shouldn't you be teaching a class?" Narumi smiled, "Shouldn't you be in a class?" I shrugged, "There wasn't a teacher, I wasn't going to stick around for a self-study class and be interrogated by a bunch of kids wanting to know my Alices. Though I suppose now Natsume will tell everyone...." I trailed off. Narumi asked curiously, "Had your first encounter with Natsume have you? Well what did you think?" I grinned, "He threatened to burn me into a crisp. I'd say my first encounter when rather well, wouldn't you?" Narumi face-palmed himself, "Not you too! I'd have thought he might be a little more friendly towards you what with having a Fire Alice and all." I laughed, "I don't think so. I called him an idiot and I refused to tell anyone what my Alices were, Re-chan blurted it out like an idiot." Narumi sighed, "Then I'm sure you're not going to like what I'm about to tell you."
I raised an eyebrow and climbed out of the tree, "What are you about to tell me?" He laughed nervously, "Well you see, we don't have any spare rooms built in the girl side of the Elementary dorms. And we are afraid that you might be a little like Natsume and hurt one of the other students so you'll be staying in a spare closet that we converted to a bedroom for you in Natsume's room." Why did this not sound like a good idea? I shook my head and thought to myself, "Oh yeah, because they want to lock me in a closet with a boy who wants to burn me to a crisp!" Slowly his words started to hit me and as they did I began to get angrier and angrier, "You think I'm dangerous! What happened back then was a complete accident! I couldn't control it!" I felt hot as I narrowed my eyes at Narumi, "I'm not dangerous! I'm in better control of my Fire then I have ever been!" Narumi waved his hands at me and replied coldly, "Look at yourself. You are covered in flames, and the ground is turning black! I don't call that control." I looked at the ground and almost instantly my anger dissipated, "I'm sorry. I...I just don't like feeling like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment. That's why I try to control it to the best of my abilities." He smiled at me, "It's ok, everyone has trouble with their Alices in the beginning. Come on I'll show you to your new room." I didn't argue with him, mostly due to the fact that losing it makes me exhausted. I just followed him to the battlefield of World War Three.
Narumi showed me to my new room, and left me to my silent musing. I heard the door open but ignored it. That is until a fireball zoomed past my head.
Nicole's Note: And it's done! This is dedicated to ASmileHidesThePain for her contribution when I got stuck. If anyone can guess what line I got from her (with the exception of you, Sky) then I'll dedicate a chapter to you. Episode two is on the side. Enjoy. And COMMENT! I do read those things you know!
