'An accident, so that's all I am to you.'

The sounds of metal clinking together drew the teen's eyes to the owner. Smokey black eyes lazily burned through the other with disgust and hatred.

'Why do you hate me so much? I don't...get it.'

He shifted more up into his seat, blinking down to the food presented in front of him. Eggs, toast and a cup of milk. Noctis knew he should probably finish it all before his dad, but he just wasn't hungry. Not after what happened last night, not at all. A cough from across of him which attracted his attention. He looked up, making sure this time there was no sign of malice hidden deep in his eyes.

"Noctis. Your mother tried calling yesterday." The older man drew a cup of coffee to his lips, sipping elegantly. "I told her you were...occupied with something else." The teen noted that his voice dropped down into a shivering delight, causing him to shift uncomfortably in his seat. He grinned around the cup as he watched his son, clearing his throat before putting the cup down. "I also told her that the new school you'll be attending is one of the finest. So she has no reason to meddle in anything that I fix up for you. Ever." Dark grey eyes flashed before rising from his seat. The sturdy chair made a screeching noise as it slid backwards some. "And I'll have you know that if you dare mention what's been going in this piece of shit, you will pay. Get it, Noctis?"

The boy nodded meekly, his eyebrows furrowed up even more after hearing that his mom contacted the home. He had every right to talk to her; she was his as well.

"Now get up. I changed my mind, you'll be walking to school instead." The standing man, Noctis' father, smirked before walking away from the table. He completed his first task of making his son's day a living hell, but King had company to attend to, so he would play with his son much later.

"I'll not make it to school by walking…"

Seeing his father right outside the door, he felt his body snap back into movement, getting out the chair and reflecting on what just happened at the table. "So...she tried calling here for me? Why not just visit?" Sighing at the lost thought, Noctis walked towards the door and exited the house. He didn't feel like running to school. It was awfully nice of his dad to assign him to a school that was only a couple of blocks away. Plus, it was his first day. Most teachers excused first-time students.

The teen began to walk down the sidewalk, looking to the side and at the cars zooming past him. What he'd give to get one of those beauties. Heck, with a car he'd never return home. Noctis smiled at that thought, though the smile was short-lived as he turned his head back ahead of himself, seeing some figures in the distance.

Those must be students of the school, he mused.

Straight ahead were two boys and a girl. One boy was black with an afro, wearing green city clothes, the other, a gigantic male with a beanie covering his blonde hair while wearing an open jacket, and a smaller girl who resembled the tall blonde. Her hair brushed along her shoulder and she held a sketchbook close to her chest.

"Oh man, please don't tell me she forgot about us. I'm right, am I right?" The darker one ran his fingers through his fro, removing his fingers with a smile as he held a small chocobo chick in his palm.

"Now, now, none of that negativity around me Sazh! Light would never forget about her loving brother-in-law now would she?" The blonde guy nudged the darker teen, grinning even after the girl reached up to smack his head.

"…I'm going to be late to class Snow! This isn't funny at all." She brushed away invisible specks off her white dress, blue eyes staring at the two.

"Aww, Nami. I'm serious! Put a smile on that face. You too, Sazh. Especially you...cause the hero said so!" Sazh shook his head before looking behind himself.

Oh damn. Noctis tried to act uninterested in their conversation…but to no avail.

"Hey." Sazh waved, "Are you heading over to Merlin Sanctuary High?" This caused the other two to look towards the frozen teen.

I'm not ready to meet new people. He could feel his palms start to sweat as they came closer to him, examining him with their curious eyes. The boy closed his eyes briefly before opening them again.

"Ye...yeah. I'm new...to the school." Fuck! He was always a shy one around new people, stammering and hopping from one foot to the next, anxious to get away.

"Oh cool. I just knew you were new cause I 'aint never seen you before. The name's Sazh. This is Snow." Who grinned and crossed his arms, "And the mini version of Snow, Namine. They're siblings." The girl sighed at Sazh's description, offering a friendly smile to the raven-haired male. "It's nice to meet you...umm..."

"Noctis."

She nodded slowly, her smile still on her face even after her older brother got in front of her only to pull Noctis into a giant hug.

"Get over here! As the leader of Team Nora, I give you a nice warm welcome to our school!" Noctis tried to pull out of the bear hug, arms flailing whilst trying to breathe.

"Snow! Now that's completely uncalled for! Let the poor boy down now." Sazh quickly went behind the rocklike male and tried to pry him off the smaller teen, bringing a leg to his butt as he pulled at Snow's arms. "Let go!"

"…Oh you guys…" Her smile turning into a grin, Namine flipped her sketchbook open to try and draw the comical scene. She couldn't wait to show her friends this one.

"Awwww! He likes it!" Squeezing him in the hold, the bigger teen brought a huge hand down to Noctis' head, patting him harder and harder."

"My, my, I just might be interrupting a touching moment."

The amused voice made everyone freeze in a very awkward position. Sazh was the only one to sigh in relief before letting go of Snow.

"Light! Girl what took you so long? I mean, really!"

Noctis pushed away from the already-distracted Snow, looking towards the Mustang convertible that saved him from premature suffocation. Blue eyes swiped from Sazh to his, taking him in before flickering to the blonde giant. "Snow. What have I told you about hugging people who you do not know?" After a few short breathes, she palmed her face and gave a resigned sigh, " I'll deal with you later." Snow grinned as he punched his fist, going to the car and entering it.

"Sazh, who's your friend?" She asked.

"This is Noctis," He said as he redirected his attention, "Noctis...this is Lightning. I don't think she'll have a problem with you just as long as you don't have a problem with her." He paused, "He's new to our school."

She nodded with closed eyes, opening them to shoot a glare at Snow through the mirror. Suddenly, a tepid voice murmured next to Noctis.

"School…"

He watched Namine walk towards the car while closing her sketchbook. "School. Roxas. I think I'll miss him. Please tell me that isn't so, Snow."

"Hey, hey, heeey. The little guy is probably wondering about you right this minute." He rubbed his little sister's shoulders smoothly, shaking his head at her whole love thing.

"Noctis, get in. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to walk to school." Lightning said coldly with a bit of humor.

He went to the back where Snow and Namine were, sitting next to the girl since he didn't quite trust Snow yet.

"Thanks Lightning, I owe ya one."

"You can just call me Light." Lightning smiled back at Noctis, looking beside herself as Sazh buckled himself in and uttered, "Alright, everyone's rea-!"

"Where's Serah?" Snow asked abruptly as he lifted an eyebrow.

"Sick. Everyone ready?" Lightning interjected.

"Ya darn right girl!" The darker one moved his body to the beat playing from the radio, humming some of the lyrics. Noctis tried not to laugh at the sight, but he did smile.

"Yeah...I'm ready." Might as well start talking. "Are you ready, Namine?" Noctis whispered so that only she could hear. Lips twitching in nervousness, the blonde girl nodded as she kept her gaze down.

"The hero is ready and weeping…no. Wait!" Shrugging with a grin, he beat his head with the beat from the radio as well.

"Alright then." Gripping the steering wheel with her fingerless gloves, Light pushed her foot to the metal, making the car zroom.

School here we come…
