A/N: Hi everyone! Well… I'm back. I had to watch some BBS cutscenes in order to know how Vanitas' behavior should be. Well then, enjoy!
Chapter 1
Me? I'm Vanitas. Everybody knows me, but not for good. I'm the bully. I was the bully since I can remember. I remember being aggressive to every person who was near me. But it had its pros; I didn't have to pay for lunch, I could skip classes, I could cheat on exams, etc.
But there was something I ever regret. When I'm at the high school I feel somehow… in company. But when it's over, I feel… lonely. Even my pathetic cousin has a girlfriend, a very nice girlfriend. I think her name is… Kairi?
Right now, I'm getting ready for a new semester. This time I'm gonna be a different person. I'm tired of being the bad guy of the story. Why can't I be a normal guy? Nobody says I can't, right? It's just a matter of how you act towards someone. It's the first day, so… what can go wrong? All I have to do is being nice and kind. Maybe some would laugh at me, but that's a cost I have to pay.
Well, since I'm here I should introduce myself. Oh look, there are some new guys over there.
"Hi, guys! I'm Vanitas and I-"
"Run, it's Vanitas!"
Okay, that's what I've been talking about. Every time I try to be nice people run away. I guess someone's reputation is like his shadow. Maybe is because of my eyes. Once, somebody said that I had the eyes of a demon. I mean, the color doesn't say anything. Maybe is because of how I look. I know! My sunglasses!
With these on, no one can recognize me, not even my mother. The bell is ringing, damn! Well, at least I got the classroom to interact with the others. I look around searching my classroom and find it in matter of time.
As always, I'm the last to enter the classroom. The teacher is already there.
"Mr. Vanitas, at least you could take off your sunglasses during the class."
"Don't f… okay, mister."
I don't know but… I think everybody got shocked, even the teacher was speechless. Normally I would ignore the teacher, but at least I had to act kind. I went to my usual seat, and discovered that someone is using it. It's a girl, black raven haired. She looks at me and smile. Come on that's my seat, could you… just… forget it.
I went to another seat and kept quiet the rest of the class. The class ended faster than I thought, but I'm kinda hungry. Now, let's take somebody's money away. No! Be a nice guy, Vanitas! You can do it!... Guess I'll have to pay my own food. This is harder than I thought.
After eating some snacks I went back to the classroom and listened to some music. I really can't live without my music. I looked at my iPhone and looked for my favorite song. Obsession by Papa Roach. The raven haired girl came in. Maybe I should tell her that that's my seat.
"Hey, you! Uhm… Excuse me, but… that's my seat."
"Is it? I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"Well, thank you. By the way, the name's Vanitas."
"Xion. Can I call you Van?"
"I guess…"
The teacher entered and I turned off the music from my headphones. Another class started and I was bored to death. Without me noticing I feel asleep. I don't know many minutes have passed, but when I woke up I found myself all alone on the classroom.
"Well, at least I have nothing to do…"
"That's what I want to believe too, but we have some work to do."
I turned and realized that Xion was there. I think she was kinda waiting for me.
"What do you mean?"
"The teacher assigned pairs to do a project. I got you, Van."
"Yeah, right… wait, what?!"
"We have to do a project together, silly."
"Well… if you haven't noticed I'm the bully here so if you don't want to suffer the rest of the year you better do the project alone, 'kay? See ya!"
I went out of the classroom without letting her give me an answer. You have to admit that everyone could get angry if you just wake up and somebody tells you that you have a project to do. No? Maybe I shouldn't talk to her like that. I turned back to the classroom.
"Hey Xion, look I'm sorry." I looked inside and realized that there was no one on the classroom. Damn it!
Nothing to do here. I went straight to my place. I live alone, that's why the whole place is a mess. I look on the floor for some money and luckily I find five dollars. I went out to buy something eat later. I buy a pair of instant soup and go back home.
I fell on my bed thinking about what would it be if I hadn't told to Xion like that. I know I have to apologize, but it have to wait until to tomorrow. I just can't go to her house and say 'I'm sorry'; in fact, I don't even know anything but her name.
Night fell sooner than I expected to. I'm tired of being at house so I got to the Sandlot to see if there is someone who I can fight with. I look everywhere and see that there is no one. Damn! This is not my day. I go walking all around the Tram Common and without me noticing, I got into a black alley with some bandits waiting for me.
"Well, well… isn't he Vanitas? We all owe you a nice kick on the ass."
"Great! I was getting bored!"
I started fighting against the bandits on the alley. After five minutes I walk out with a few punches on my face. The bandits, they even touched me; despite I can't tell say the same thing for them. I did beat them up. Well, at least I had some fun at the alley. Now it's time to go home.
When I got home, I noticed that I have some mail. Bills, bills, bills, money from my parents, bills. Same as usual, nothing new. I turned the TV on and watched a movie. The Godfather. I fell asleep and it when I woke up it was already 1 on the morning. I went to my bed and fell asleep.
The sun shining as ever and it hits me right in the face. At least that tells me that I have to get ready for classes. All I need to wake up is a shower and a cup of coffee. I got my keys and exited my place.
I started walking and noticed that I had no money for the lunch today. It was too late already to go back home to get some money. The hell! I guess I have to steal – I mean, borrow someone's money.
The class started as boring as always. But luckily, it ended as soon as it started. The professor fainted in front of the whole of the class and some of the guys took him to nursery. Now I had time for me and my music.
I was starving and I had to wait 20 more minutes to get something to eat. But, wait – I don't have any money and that Xion is nowhere to be found. Where the heck could she be? The door opened and Xion walked in. She seated next to me and smiled.
"Morning, Van."
"Morning."
"Where's the teacher?"
"Fainted."
"Oh, I see… by the way,… did you made a research about the project?"
I didn't say a word. I didn't even know what the project is about!
"Sure."
Xion looked at me trying to figure out what's on my mind. I simply turn my head but she continues to stare at me.
"Stop staring."
"You didn't do anything, right? It's okay, I didn't even tell you what is the project about. I'm so sorry. I'm such a waste of time. I should be a better partner. Guess I failed you."
What is wrong with her?! Is she bipolar?!
"A-are you okay?"
"No! I failed you! I deserve death!"
What?! This girl is nuts!
"Don't say that, no one deserves to die. You just made a mistake, that's normal. That is called humanity, right?" I said still keeping my cool pose.
"I guess…"
"Come on, cheer up. But if you want to mend your mistake… could you borrow me a few dollars? I forgot my money at home."
"Let me see…" she took out her wallet and looked thru the papers and took out 10 dollars "will this serve?"
"Sure, it does." I took the dollars from her hand and kept them on my pocket.
Well, at least I have money to eat. I have to give her back the dollars tomorrow, hope I don't forget. And then, the bell rang. Finally! Lunch time!
