Super Sunny High
Chapter One: Gakuen SSH e Youkoso Ne!
A typical day at Super Sunny High consisted of dodgy stuff, laughter, and real dodgy stuff. But today was no normal day because a group of beautiful exchange students was arriving!
One was short with blonde hair, who looked uncannily like a student called Roxas but was a girl not a boy (obviously lol) with sparkling steel blue eyes that showed great wisdom. Another was a beautiful young lady with brown hair, who was as beautiful as a rainbow and hides a deep dark secret. There was a tall, mysterious blonde with green eyes and the longest hair (like Vexen but prettier!) who was very intelligent. Lastly there was a girl with longish brown hair who likes to play the crash cymbals and make a lot of noise. Since they were new they didn't have uniforms yet so the short blonde was wearing a black fishnet top over a lacy red camisole and stripy t-shirt, she had bracelets and wristbands all up her arms and a stripy black and red skirt over black skinny jeans and clunky shoes with studs on. The brown-haired one called Eliza was wearing a fluoro pink miniskirt with a glow-in-the-dark top that said in green fluoro capslock 'LET'S RAVE!'. She had silver strappy clogs and ribbons in her hair. The tall blonde was dressed in a cheerleading uniform from her old school, complete with pompoms and ribbons in her pigtails, and lots of lip gloss and purple eyeshadow. The brunette with longish hair was wearing large glasses and boring clothes, she was just a nerd.
The whole school was abuzz with people looking for the new girls, except for a muscular silver-haired year twelve, who was oblivious to the excitement as he opened his locker.
"Hey Riku," a short brown-haired boy called Sora said.
"Hi Sora," Riku replied, smiling slightly as his medium-length silky hair shining in the sun, and his turquoise eyes sparkling beautifully.
"Did you hear about the new girls?" asked Sora as he got his books out, "I heard two of them are in our PCG class."
"No, I hadn't heard. That'll be interesting," Riku replied, closing his locker.
Just then a teacher walked past. "Miss – Nymph Savage?" Sora called out.
The short blonde woman turned around angrily, sparks practically flying from her bright green eyes as she snapped, "What is it you twerp?"
Sora grimaced. "I was just going to ask when our assignment's due?"
"YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED IN CLASS!" she spat, walking away.
Riku frowned. "Don't get why she's in a bad mood all the time."
"Must be PMS lol!" snickered a brunette at the next locker along – Demyx Kainamikawa, one of the class clowns of year 12.
"Hey Dem, have you seen any of the new girls yet?" Sora asked.
"And have you seen Roxas?" Riku put in.
Both brunettes shook their heads but Demyx winked. "I haven't seen the girls yet but word is that they're hawtt as!"
"Well two of them are in our PCG so I guess we'll find out soon enough," suggested Sora excitedly as the morning bell rang. They made their way through the school to their PCG room, more excited than usual to start the day.
When they entered the classroom, their PCG teacher Mr Academic Chilly was halfway through a tirade about lateness. Their late arrival only set him off with more gesturing and eye-twitching so Riku, Sora and Demyx tried peering around the class for the new girls. "Oh! There they are!" Demyx pointed to the corner, where a pair of girls were sitting, chatting animatedly. One had blonde hair and another had brown hair. They were giggling and writing in a notebook. Riku couldn't help but look at the blonde as she tossed her shining hair in laughter, light from the window behind illuminating it like a golden halo.
Suddenly pink-haired Marluxia moved towards brown-haired Eliza and whispered something to her, causing her blush to turn on. She smiled sweetly, and they fluttered their eyelashes at each other. The blonde Sian rolled her eyes at them and glanced around the room in exasperation. Her eyes happened to meet Riku's and she quickly looked away but her eyes were pulled back to his gaze. Demyx laughed. "They haven't even spoken to each other yet, and look at them."
Sora grinned. "And you know what Marluxia's like..."
Demyx sat at a table, while Sora dragged Riku to where they were sitting. He kept shooting gracefully frantic looks over his shoulder trying to catch the girl's eye again – what was her name? But she was whispering and giggling with the brunette again.
Meanwhile Marluxia had moved over to his own desk, talking quietly with Zexion, whose deep purple hair was hanging over his eyes. Mr Vexen, who was still monologuing about tardiness, noticed the various conversations going on and slammed his metre ruler against the blackboard with a deafening thwack. Zexion and Marluxia both grimaced and Riku smirked, his lips twisting into a perfect curve.
"Right! As you can see we have two new students." Everyone whispered and peered around, trying to catch a glimpse of the new girls. "Please welcome Sian Yumenonaka and Eliza Dansunokokoro who just transferred here."
"You already did," Zexion murmured darkly to Marluxia.
Marluxia chuckled. "Why yes I did."
Sora giggled. "Riku, you looked so intense earlier!"
Riku looked away and elbowed Sora playfully. "Oh come on Sora, whatever." But in his mind he kept thinking about that angel with the fishnet top – Sian... what a beautiful and mysterious name...
The bell went and Marluxia sauntered over to Eliza. "So where're you headed now, beautiful?"
She glanced at the floor and smiled. "Biology with Mr Xaldin. Do you know where that is?"
"I have that too. I'll take you there."
"Aw, thankyou!" Eliza smiled happily, and Marluxia's eyes sparkled gorgeously in the sunlight.
Meanwhile Sian was peering at her timetable in confusion outside PCG. Riku wondered whether he should help her out when Roxas Hikaritsukiboshi appeared by her side and started talking to her.
"Hey there. Need any help? I'm Roxas."
Sian smiled. "I'm Sian. I need to get to Geography." She pointed to her timetable.
"I'm going there too! I'll take you."
Riku came up to them with Sora. "We're going there too."
"Oh, hi Roxas," Sora beamed to his twin who half-smiled back, averting his eyes to hide the deep black pit of despair that constantly threatened to consume him when he wasn't with Axel.
When they got to class, a spiky redhead greeted Roxas with a hug. He visibly lit up and beamed into Axel's shoulder. Riku rolled his eyes and turned to Sian. "Don't mind those two, they're our resident 'hot couple'." To his surprise she blushed and looked at her feet.
"Oh, um... where should I sit then?" she asked cutely, fringe falling over her infinitely deep sparkling eyes.
"We sit over here." He led her to a table where Roxas, Axel, and Sora were already sitting.
The Biology class was raucous, with people shouting and laughing at each other from opposite sides of the room – until Mr Xaldin walked in. "Alright class! Hurry up!"
Marluxia pulled Eliza over to a desk and opened up his textbook. "You can borrow my book for today."
"Thanks," she smiled and took out a notebook and pen. "I didn't do Bio at my old school so I'm a bit clueless."
"That's ok, I find I can remember things and understand them well in Bio. I'll help you."
Eliza smiled beautifully, making Marluxia feel warm and happy inside. "Thank you – I feel so welcome here already," she smiled. Just then two more students walked in, one of them the nerdy new girl Briony, and the other one Zexion from PCG. Briony spied Eliza and sat next to her, and Zexion sat on the other side so left to right at the front of the class it was Zexion, Marluxia, Eliza and Briony.
Mr Xaldin clapped his hands and picked up a whiteboard marker. "We're going to start with a quick test to see how much you all know." He passed out a page and they picked up their pencils to write.
Eliza didn't know many of the answers, so Marluxia whispered them to her. Zexion finished his test within a few minutes, and Briony took a medium length of time, and wrote her answers in pencil. She only rubbed out a few answers. After five minutes Mr Xaldin clapped his hands again and collected the papers. He nodded at Zexion and smiled at Briony, "It's good to see some new talent." She smiled and showed him her notebook which was already full of notes. "That's great! You could consider tutoring."
Marluxia muttered to Zexion, "How about I tutor Eliza?"
Zexion smirked. "Lexaeus is tutoring me at recess." The pink-haired man snickered and Zexion rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, it's not like that..." He looked away and in his mind thought, 'But I wish it was...'
Mr Xaldin had starting writing on the reproductive process of different plants. This was Marluxia's favourite topic. After a few minutes of taking notes the bell went.
In Geography Esther had arrived and sat next to Sian who was sitting next to Roxas and Axel. Riku frowned because now there was no way for him to sit next to her. Roxas and Axel were as close together as possible, saying lovely things to each other, so Riku moved up to Roxas and asked, "Mind if you move down one? Dunno if Sian appreciates two gays practically making out next to her."
Sian beamed at Riku and laughed a little. "It is a little awkward..." Roxas shrugged and scooted down a seat to Riku sat down next to both short blondes.
"Did you do Geography at your old school? Mr Lexaeus is a bit strict and he does a lot of memorisation," explained Riku.
"Yep. I liked it but I do find the memorising difficult," Sian whispered back.
"Oh, same. And if you see him and Zexion together, uh, don't say anything to them."
"Heh, okay."
Axel tore his eyes away from Roxas' shimmering blue orbs for a moment to look incredulously at the two. "You find it hard memorising things?! It's the easiest thing ever though."
"Yeah, for you. Not for us," Roxas sighed. Axel turned back to his sweetheart.
"Oh Roxy, I'll always help you study," he winked.
"Thanks, but you know how that turned out last time," Roxas laughed.
"Yeah, well, you didn't mind."
Roxas blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl. Riku pretended to stick a finger down his throat and Sian laughed again. He felt his heart glow – behind her sad eyes was a joyful pixie angel.
The bell suddenly went and they realised that had done no work since they came to class. They went to recess anyway.
They all met in the canteen line, except Zexion who disappeared off in the direction of the SOSE offices with some excuse about tutoring, but he was blushing under his sexy emo fringe. Everyone knew what really happened though.
At lunch the two groups met up. Eliza got lasagne, Marluxia got a salad, Roxas and Axel got some ice creams, Briony got spaghetti, Esther got a sandwich, Sian got a burger and Riku got a sausage roll. Marluxia bought a fettuccini carbonara for Zexion for when he came back. They all trailed over towards the school yard.
"Where do you sit?" asked Briony awkwardly since she was a nerd and therefore had no friends.
"Next to the gym," Riku replied, leading them there. Marluxia stayed close to Eliza and considered taking her hand but thought that may be a bit fast for her. Esther excused herself for cheerleading tryouts, even though since no-one even does cheerleading there she would get in by default. They all sat on the floor, except Roxas who sat on Axel. They chatted about random things. In the circle, it went Axel/Roxas, Riku, Sian, Eliza, Marluxia, Briony, and Zexion (he came back). Then the bell rang again and they went to get their books. Sian needed Riku's help finding and opening her locker. As she got out her books he leaned against the lockers talking to her. Sian was smitten.
Eliza's locker happened to be right next to Sian's and Marluxia stood across from her, checking her out. She was distracted by his luscious pink hair and sparkling blue ice eyes. So she ended up getting the wrong books for her next classes which were Japanese and English Lit. But luckily the others had those classes too so she could share. Marluxia didn't mind sharing at all. Actually, he rather enjoyed it.
In Japanese class the desks were arranged in groups of six. Axel and Roxas sat near the back so they could talk and more during class and Marluxia, Zexion, Demyx and Eliza sat there too. At the table nearest the front sat Briony, Sora, Riku, Sian, Esther and a tiny girl with flaxen hair called Naminé. Since everyone who took Japanese watched anime and read manga, it was the funnest class – people would always call out things like 'BAKA' and 'KAWAII' and 'SUGOI DES' and of course, even 'YAOI SMEX LOL'.
Despite the cheerful and noisy atmosphere the class fell silent almost instantly when the teacher walked in, his luxurious medium-blue hair billowing out behind him as he stalked to the front of the room. "Konnichi wa, students. Saïx desu yo and watashi wa nihongo no sensei desu." Sian looked at Riku in confusion and he leaned over to whisper to her – you didn't want to get caught talking in class by Saïx-sensei.
"Oh, jwj hr m33!" Sian replied, eager to show off her 1337 ritin' skillz (AN: Even though she had to look that up to rite it LUL! END AN)
Riku blinked a little. "Um, pardon?" Then he paused and looked deep in thought. "Jwj hr meri tk... is that right? I can't remember much except greetings like that." Sian giggled quietly and blushed a little.
"Well you could say that..."
The two were suddenly aware of a presence looming over them and looked up warily, only to meet the sight of their teacher's menacing scowl. "I am loathe to intaraputo, minnasan, but if you would care to yamete kudasai I may decide not to punish you as you deserve."
Sian fluttered, "Sorry! I mix up my languages sometimes."
Eliza, however, was epically fantastic at languages, and soon had the class in awe.
"Yamete! Oshiri ga itai!"
Saïx-sensei nodded and wrote the phrase up on the board. "Thankyou for providing us with a topic sentence to work on today. Who can tell us another way of requesting someone to 'yameru' – Miss Sukitoitte?"
From her seat near the front, Briony blushed and looked at her feet. Japanese was not her favourite subject, you couldn't use a calculator or any chemicals. "Oh, um... Yamenaide?"
Axel chuckled, "Not quite... but it's a good word to know!"
"AXEL!" Roxas frowned at him.
"Shizuka ni! Briony, good try. You have led us on to another topic – negatives."
Briony's cheeks flushed a darker shade of pink and she looked down at her page, letting her thick brown braids hide her face. Esther nudged Sian. "Hey, what's up with her?"
Sian wondered that herself but didn't want to incur Saïx-sensei's wrath, so she just shrugged a little and opened her textbook. Negatives – she used to like this topic because it fitted so well with her mood, but now ever since she'd caught this silver-haired boy looking at her, she'd felt the light returning into her heart.
Meanwhile Zexion and Eliza were having an in-depth conversation in Japanese. Marluxia was starting to get quite jealous and was considering hitting his friend over the head with his textbook. Luckily for Zexion, Saïx-sensei cleared his throat to silence the class. "Shizuka ni minnasan! Please copy the exercise from page 65 of your book..."
The bell just went, coincidentally just as they were going to start their work. Before Saïx-sensei could set any homework the students raced off to their next class – English Lit. Unlike all the other classes where teachers walked in late, the tall tanned teacher was already putting notes on the board, his silky silver-grey hair flowing down his back.
Demyx groaned. "Oh great, it's Mr Xemnas." Noticing Esther's confusion he whispered, "Mr X is the principal but he also teacher senior lit. He's super intense and keeps going off on random lectures. We call him Mansex behind his back but don't let him hear you say it!"
Esther giggled. Demyx was so funny and original to come up with a witty nickname like Mansex (AN: hint, anagram his name lol!). Zexion glowered at them and sat down next to Marluxia so the order in their row went Demyx, Esther, Zexion, Marluxia, Eliza, Sian, Riku, Sora, Roxas, Axel, Briony, Naminé.
"Who is new to this organisation?" Mr Xemnas boomed. Naminé jumped and looked around shiftily.
The tall teacher surveyed the class with narrowed golden-orange eyes. "I will make it known now that I will not stand for any funny business. Now take out your poetry volumes and open to our first poem."
Axel groaned. "This is so boring! Can't we watch anime?"
Mr Xemnas turned slowly to fix the redhead with a steely gaze. "Did I hear you call 'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud' boring?" he boomed across the room. "Boring!"
"Yes."
Roxas frantically flapped at Axel's arm, his eyes wide.
"Shut up, idiot!" Marluxia muttered.
Sora whimpered. Axel still didn't get the hint. "I mean, what about these daffodils 'tossing their heads in sprightly dance' – how gay can you get?"
"Hey," growled Marluxia. "Excuse me?"
"Aaaxeeel," whined Roxas desperately as Mr Xemnas and Marluxia glowered at the redhead.
Axel sighed. "Okay Roxas..."
Riku muttered, "Marluxia, you're a gay pansy. We all know it."
"O rly?" smirked the pink-haired male, raising his eyebrows. Zexion coughed awkwardly and Eliza giggled. Sian rolled her eyes at Riku who looked uncertainly at Mr Xemnas. The teacher was scowling furiously.
"Right, you boys can stay in at lunch for a detention! Now get to work!"
The group muttered complaints to each other, and started reading the books reluctantly. The bell went after an HOUR OF BORING CRAP.
At lunch only the girls left since the boys had detention. Sian watched sadly over her shoulder as they walked out. She was already torn away from her sweetheart... unlike Axel and Roxas who made the most of being almost alone in class. At least they were enjoying themselves... Eliza felt a single tear slide slowly down her cheek as she turned away from the gorgeous, graceful, GREAT love of her life. Esther just looked once at Axel with his flaming red mane of hair and turned away. Briony was blushing as she daydreamed about who knows what.
The girls headed out of the class and ate lunch under a tree.
