Stella frowned as she looked at Den. She had never seen him so..... emotional.
"Oh I wish! I keep asking Stella out and she keeps rejecting me. But everyone says we look so cute together, don't you agree? Mr. Sharp?" Eddie rambled on as Stella noticed Den's frown deepened and his face seemed to grow darker by the second.
"Say Eddie, you wanted the book right? Come on, help me look for it!!" Stella exclaimed as she jumped up and pulled Eddie out of the room by his hand.
She peered in as they went out the door, "Really sorry Sharp, but his sister really needs that book." And then Den heard the thundering on the stairs.
Stella scratched her head as she entered her room with Eddie. He turned, asking, "So.... Where's the book?"
Stella made a guilty face, "I don't know. Help me search?"
Eddie sighed as he started looking around, "Lily's going to kill you if she finds out you misplaced her book."
Stella giggled as the two began searching in Stella's closet and the only dressing table with cabinets she had in her room.
Eddie was sitting on the floor as he bended over the contents of the lower drawer, and Stella was standing behind him, peering into the upper one.
Suddenly, Eddie tried to stand up and his head banged into the upper drawer with a thud.
Eddie sat back down, groaning in pain and clutching his head.
"Oh my god!!! Are you an idiot!?!? Why did you have to go and stand up like that!!!" Stella exclaimed as she closed the drawer and started checking Eddie's head to see if he was hurt. Eddie looked at Stella's short legs just ahead of him and lightly wrapped his arms around them.
It was then that Allen, having just arrived entered Stella's room.
He was surprised to see Stella bending over a strange boy's head and he was positively shocked to see the boy's arms around her legs. And Allen almost burnt in anger upon seeing the smug look on the boy's face.
Just as Stella heard the door of her room open, and before she had time to turn around, Allen had crossed the room with inhumane speed and pulled Stella in his arms.
By the time Stella really noticed what had happened, she was already five feet away from a very surprised Eddie, with strong, cold arms wrapped around her body, carrying her princess style.
Stella sighed as Allen narrowed his eyes at Eddie and spat out, "Who are you and what were you trying to do with her?"
Eddie blinked in surprise and his eyes widened, "You're... you're ALLEN DEWS!!?!!!!"
"Yeah I'm Allen Dews. But who the hell are you!?!?!?!" Allen spat as he wrapped his arms even more closely around Stella.
Stella winced once, and Allen immediately loosened his hold, his face changing into one of extreme worry, "Oh! I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" Allen asked as Stella smiled and said, "Allen, this is Eddie. Eddie, I think you already know Allen."
Eddie blinked as he looked from Stella to Allen, "How....how???? How do you know Allen Dews??"
