Ironic Circumstances

Chapter 1

Monday

The phone rang throughout the house, stirring up the residents and aggravating a particular silver haired teen. Riku opened a single eye, looking over at his desk to read 8:02 a.m. on his black rectangular alarm clock. The annoying sound died after two rings, so either the person calling decided they had dialed the wrong number or Riku's mother decided to pick up. It didn't matter to Riku, he was awake and that's all that mattered. He let out a yawn as he threw the covers aside, allowing the morning chill to settle on his half naked body. Dressed in only a pair of emerald green pajama bottoms, the silver haired boy got up and made his way to the bathroom down the hall. His long hair was all over the place, a few locks managed to become knots during the night.

"Riku!" came a voice from the first floor. He stopped mid step and responded grudgingly.

"Yeah?"

"Get your butt in the shower otherwise were going to be late!"

Riku rolled his eyes, the harmless threat reminding him what today was. It was Monday, the beginning of an interesting week. Fumbling with the knob to the bathroom, Riku managed to get inside and shut the door with a little too much force.

"I don't hear water running!" Yunalesca shouted through the house. Riku rubbed the remaining grogginess from his eyes as he fixated his gaze on the mirror's reflection. He couldn't help but smile at what he saw.

"Riku, you are one sexy piece of ass," he told himself, grinning devilishly as he jumped out of his pajama bottoms and into the shower. He turned the knobs until water began to pour from the showerhead, surprising him when it was a bit to cold for his liking. But soon the water adjusted and he melted into the warmth of the water. Riku lathered shampoo into his hair and struggled with the knots for a while. After fifteen minutes his hair was untangled and he was out of the shower, clean and ready to go. He reached for a blue towel off the rack and placed it around his waist, water sliding down his chest and meeting the lines defining his abs. Riku knew he was good looking, everyone knew he was good looking. He loved the attention he got as he strolled down the halls of Destiny Islands Academy, watching the blushing looks coming from the girls, and even the secretive glances some of the boys tried to hide. He didn't mind Riku loved it all. The silver haired boy walked out of the bathroom and back into his room, digging in his drawers for a pair of clean underwear. Finding a pair he liked, Riku slipped into them before tossing the towel aside, landing next to a pile of dirty clothes collecting in the middle of the room. He took another look at his alarm clock, rolling his eyes at the large red numbers.

"Today's the big one…" he trailed off. But it wasn't any regular Monday, not at all. It was the day his parents signed the dreaded papers, the only thing left to do to dissolve their relationship. That's right; Riku's parents were just about to conclude with their divorce. It was bound to happen, the countless arguments over the past year, the extended business trips his father justified with excuses like "our flight got delayed" or "it was an emergency meeting". Riku wasn't stupid, nor was his mother. You either had to be blind or a plain idiot to not figure out that his father was having an affair. Riku would often hear his mother cry at night, standing outside her bedroom door, listening to her quiet sobs while his dad was off in the capital, on "business". The silver haired teen grew to hate him, for the pain he had caused them, and for all the bullshit he tried feeding them. Riku may be a bit cocky, but he cared about his mother more than anything and the thought of her suffering made his blood boil. But today that would be over, and Baralai would soon be out of the family picture. Not wasting anymore time, Riku went through his closet and pulled out a pair of ripped blue jeans and a fitted white shirt. Throwing the clothes on quickly, Riku left his room and made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen where his mother was busily sipping away at her coffee. He walked up to her and gave her a peck on the cheek, taking a cup from one of the cupboards and reaching for the coffee pot.

"I don't think you should be drinking coffee at your age Riku," Yunalesca firmly declared, tentatively reaching for the glass pot herself. "Its highly addictive and you should stay away from it."

Riku scoffed, "And every morning, you make enough coffee for two people, how convenient mom."

Yunalesca ruffled Riku's still wet hair, pulling back and wiping her hand on Riku's jeans.

"Hey, I'm no rag! These are expensive," Riku dragged out.

"Oh shut it Riku, I don't care about your designer clothes. Honestly, they're a waste of money."

"Like you should talk mom," Riku retaliated, completely offended by the remark, "Don't pretend I didn't see you with a new Prada bag just the other day."

Yunalesca hid behind her cup, a slight blush creeping along her cheeks. "My, what have I done to you Riku?"

And then the phone rang. Yunalesca's smile died as she reached for the receiver hanging next to the archway leading into the living room. Riku poured himself the remaining coffee in the pot and took a sip, the look sprawled across his face a clear sign that sugar was needed.

"Hello?" Yunalesca said into the phone, placing her cup on the counter next to her.

Riku watched as the conversation continued for a few minutes, eventually ending and the receiver hanging back up on the wall. Yunalesca let out a sigh, glancing over at Riku with a small frown.

"That was your father's attorney, it seems that they changed our appointment until this afternoon."

Riku narrowed his eyes, knowing he wouldn't be able to get out of his first couple classes after this bit of news. "Did dad change it?"

Yunalesca shrugged, running a hand along her long strands of silver hair dangling above her head. "Most likely."

"I guess I should head to school then, since we're obviously not going to get this over with until after classes."

"Riku…please, it's just a couple of hours. Bear with me, it'll be over soon."

"Yeah…"

Yunalesca have her son a hug, sending him back upstairs for a quick wardrobe change. As he walked, Riku remembered the phone ringing when he first woke up and opted to ask who was calling.

"Oh, I totally forgot. It was the mayor, he asked if we had seen Kairi. Apparently she never came home last night."

"Kairi?" Riku muttered throwing his bedroom door open. When did she ever come home should be the better question. He knew exactly where she was, hanging out with that college student Seifer. Being the mayor's daughter had its perks, everyone knew who you were, and everyone kissed up to you to be liked or popular. She used to have a thing for Riku, but he never showed any interest whatsoever. So, she figured dating someone outside of high school would be more fitting. Riku stripped out of his pricey clothes and grabbed his school uniform sitting at the edge of his bed. In a matter of seconds he was dressed in a simple button up white shirt and light blue pants, the ugliest uniform Riku had ever seen. He left his room for the millionth time that morning and made his way to the door.

"Hey Riku, I'll come pick you up so leave your car in the parking lot," Yunalesca said as Riku walked out the door.

"Fine, whatever, see you after school mom."

Riku closed the door behind him, digging in his pocket for his keys. He walked over to his white Audi, unlocking it and making himself comfortable against the leather seat. His backpack was still sitting in the back, apparently homework wasn't something he really cared about. Turning the key in the ignition, the Audi burst into life and soon he was out of the driveway, and on his way to the academy.

Riku walked up the steps to his first and most hated class, advanced physics. It wasn't really his choice to take it, but Baralai threatened with taking away his car if he didn't sign up for the class at the beginning of the year. Now, Riku could care less and really had no reason for even attending it. But he figured since he made it to April without failing, then it might be worth just finishing. The bell rang, signaling to everyone that they had better get to class. Riku bumped his way through the door, earning him a couple of glares from some seniors. He didn't care, he knew they wouldn't say anything to him. Riku sat towards the back of the room, sitting himself on the uncomfortable stools and throwing his backpack aside as students continued to walk in. Tidus saw the silver haired teen sitting by himself and made his way to the seat next to him.

"What's up Riku?" the blonde asked, taking out his notebooks and readjusting the collar on his shirt. "Goddamn this thing!" he cursed, itching where the collar was annoying him.

"I know exactly how you feel," Riku responded. "Wish I could burn it, and I can," he said pointing at the acids in brown bottles behind a locked cabinet.

Tidus laughed, "Yeah, and I bet the girls would love to see what's under those clothes."

Riku rolled his eyes, "Tidus, I've already told you, I don't suck cock, so forget about it. I'm never going to sleep with you."

The blonde felt a lump catch in his throat as a fiery blush spread across his face. "That-that's a fucking lie and you know it Riku. You've totally slept with guys before."

The silver haired teen looked around, hoping nobody caught the blonde's words. He turned to his shorter friend, glaring at him like a snake would to its prey. "And you would know?"

Tidus regained his composure and fought back. "I do, seeing that we've shared a guy," he said with a sly grin.

Riku raised an eyebrow. "What? Who did you sleep with?"

Tidus' eyes were glittering with the excitement over having something on the taller boy. "Cloud," he whispered.

Riku tensed up, his hands gripping the hem of his shirt tightly. Tidus wore a triumphant smile, turning from the silver haired teen to the front of the class and concentrating on the blank chalkboard.

"You're sick Tidus, to think you went after my sloppy seconds," he muttered, just loud enough for him to hear. The blonde turned, his winning smile gone and replaced by a scowl.

"Fuck you Riku," he said before grabbing his things and moving to a different seat. Riku didn't care, Tidus would come right back to him later in the day. The teacher asked for silence as class began, leaving Riku to wander aimlessly in his mind for the rest of the period.

"Alright…Sora was it? I'm afraid that this puts you in quite a predicament. It's already April, and you're deciding to transfer at this point?"

Sora, 16 years old, and newest resident of the rural islands of Destiny Islands was sitting in the principal's office, listening to the same speech two other schools had given him already.

"Yeah, Mr. Seymour, this is my last chance. I've already talked to the other schools and none of them would take me. So, I'm asking you, please accept me here. I don't feel like wasting more of my time."

The blue haired principal looked at the brunet with curiosity, noticing the Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses sitting comfortably on his head. Destiny Islands Academy was a private school, so it wasn't unusual for the students to come from wealthy families. And by the looks of the brunet, it appeared that he too came from money. Sora was shaking his knee slightly, waiting for the principal to either kick him out or accept him.

"Very well, Sora. I will overlook your transfer credits, and see what classes would benefit you at this point. But be aware that you are at a huge disadvantage and will have to work hard to catch up. Now, I need your parents' signatures on some of the forms, so please have your mother or father come in."

Sora sighed, glancing out the window. "Sorry Mr. Seymour, but my mother couldn't come with me. She's got some business that she needed to take care of. As for my father…well, he died years ago."

Mr. Seymour was taken back by the last couple words, immediately offering him an apology. "I'm sorry to hear that Sora, but I'm afraid that I can't do anything until your mother signs these forms. You are welcome to walk around the school grounds, but please don't interfere with the classes. I'll have my assistant get you a visitor's pass."

"So…I'm in then?" Sora asked, just wanting to be completely sure.

Seymour chuckled, "Yes, Sora, once your mother signs the forms, you will be accepted into Destiny Islands Academy. Now, please talk to my assistant right outside, she'll issue you a pass."

Sora thanked the older man, shaking hands with him briefly as he walked out the door. There was a blonde haired woman sitting by a shiny mahogany desk, busily typing away at her computer. The brunet walked up to her, coughing slightly as he adjusted the sunglasses on his head. She turned to him, eyeing him up and down before addressing him.

"Yes? Can I help you?"

Sora read the wooden tag sitting on the desk. "Yes, is it Ms. Trepe? Mr. Seymour asked me to get a visitors pass from you. I'd like to see the school grounds."

The blonde haired woman nodded, opening a drawer and pulling out a simple white laminated tag with the school's seal on it. "You have as much time as you need, but please make sure you return the tag when you leave. Would you like me to get you someone to show you around?"

The brunet pinned the tag on his blue and white-stripped shirt, shaking his head at the offer. "No, thank you. I'll be fine on my own."

Sora walked away, leaving the office and beginning his trek through the school.

The bell rang, signaling the end of first period class. Riku picked his lazy self from his stool and began putting his things away. Students were filling the halls by the time he left, maneuvering his way around the many bodies he found himself outside in the courtyard. Riku rummaged in his pocket for his cell phone and brought it out, hoping he got some kind of voicemail or text message during the time he spent in class. He cursed when there wasn't anything new, stashing the red phone back into his pocket as he took a seat against one of the many trees in the courtyard. His eyes wandered around, watching the most popular group of seniors chatting and passing around small plastic bags he knew contained some kind of drug. Of course the staff was oblivious to anything going on and students never had a problem doing their dirty trading. Riku saw the varsity blitzball team make their way into the gym off in the distance, a massive building with two pools strictly for blitzball use only. Tidus was among them, already dressed down to a skimpy yellow speedo that curved quite well around his ass. Riku had to admit that the blonde was good looking, but he wasn't interested, and the last thing he wanted to do was sleep with someone that already shared one of his own conquests.

Cloud, captain of the track team, and the most popular senior. Riku grinned, remembering the way he seduced the blonde idiot. It started with a simple game of basketball in Cloud's monstrous backyard, and after beating him in three straight games, they made their way into his house to cool off. Riku knew by the way Cloud bumped into him during their games that he was anything but straight. Cloud offered Riku a bottle of water, tossing it to him and catching it with ease. Riku followed by "accidentally" spilling it on his already soaked t-shirt and asked if he could borrow one of Cloud's shirts. The blonde was more than happy to offer it, motioning for the silver haired teen to follow him upstairs. Once they were inside Riku peeled the shirt off and make himself comfortable on his bed, running a tantalizing finger up his abdomen. And one thing led to another, and, well, the rest could be left to the imagination.

Riku broke out his musings when another bell rang, this time signaling the end of their break. He picked himself up, throwing his backpack lazily against one shoulder as he marched back into the main building. That's when the world stopped, and the oxygen in his lungs felt like it was burning. Riku's sea-foam green eyes met the figure of a brunet, his spiky wayward hair jutting from under a pair of expensive looking sunglasses. He was dressed in a white and blue stripped long sleeve shirt, with a pair of dark blue jeans adorned with a casual tear here and there. Other students were passing by, looking at the foreigner with amusement. It wasn't everyday that someone wearing real clothes walked through their school, especially an underclassmen. Riku bit his bottom lip, wondering who the hell this person was. He wanted to say something, walk up to him and say hello, but he found that his feet would not budge from their spot. The brunet was coming his way, both hands tucked in his pockets as he walked. Riku's eyes met with his as he passed, sharing a few seconds before the brunet continued, ignoring Riku completely and disappearing into another hall. The silver haired teen licked his dry lips, never before had he felt such an intensity in someone's eyes.

"Young man, please head to class," came a voice from behind the teen. He turned to meet the familiar face of Kairi, her blue and white plaid skirt appearing slightly shorter than usual. Her hair was quite long, reaching her mid-back and currently streaked with a couple hot pink highlights.

"Screw you Kairi. I should tell you that your dad called this morning, wondering where the hell you were. Thanks to his call I had to wake up from a most comfortable sleep," he sarcastically strung out.

Kairi tossed her hair, adjusting her Juicy handbag over her shoulder. "Sorry, I should have called you first to let you know that he might end up calling. But I just had to see Seifer last night, he took me out to dinner and then back to his place."

Riku rolled his eyes, deciding to walk to his next class, letting Kairi tag along. "So how was it?" he asked.

Kairi blushed, pulling a strand of hair back. "Amazing, college guys are so much better than all the children around here," she responded. "I should introduce you to some of his friends, I think you might like one of them."

"Uh, thanks but no thanks, I'm not interested."

Kairi giggled, "Oh, that's right, you seemed quite smitten with that brunet that stole the spotlight just a minute ago. He's cute, I admit that, but isn't he a little to innocent for you."

Riku turned around, gripping Kairi firmly by the hand. "I've told you not to talk about this while at school," he spat out, letting go of her hand when she winced. A passing girl gave them a weird look before continuing.

"S-sorry Riku, it slipped out," Kairi said, rubbing the spot where he had gripped a bit to hard. "But it's the truth," she whispered, making sure there wasn't anyone else around.

"Kairi, I can't be thinking about stuff like that right now, today's a very important day."

Kairi cocked her head, realizing what it was he meant. "Oh…so…the papers are getting signed today?"

Riku nodded, standing right outside his next class. "Yeah, as of this afternoon my parents are officially divorced and Baralai will be moving his ass out. I can't fucking wait to toss his shit out the window."

Kairi narrowed her eyes. "What an asshole, I would kill whatever guy cheated on me."

Riku scoffed, "Then make sure you keep a good watch on that college boy of yours. Don't think he's not checking other girls out."

Kairi gave him a venomous look. "He wouldn't, Seifer is one girl kind of man."

They talked for a minute or so, Kairi ended up leaving once the second bell had rung. Riku walked through the classroom door, making his way yet again towards the back. He sat there for a while, his mind wandering back to the mysterious brunet he ran into.

"Who is he?"

Class seemed so unnecessary at that point.

Riku looked at his cell phone, noticing that school had been out for ten minutes already and his mother was nowhere in sight. He was sitting on the front steps, the glistening ocean off in the distance tempting him. A good swim would be pretty good right now, but the most important part of the day was still left. He heard an engine come his way and he turned to see his mother's Mercedes.

"Sorry Riku, got caught up talking with Selphie's mother. That woman can't ever shut up," Yunalesca said as Riku got in. She planted a kiss on his cheek before letting her foot off the brake. "So, how was school today?"

"Same as ever mom, boring, a waste of time, and did I say boring already?"

Yunalesca chuckled as she drove into the main part of the town. "Okay Riku, I get the picture, it sucked."

They remained quiet for a few more minutes, only bothering to speak once they were parked outside city hall. "Well, here we go," Riku said placing an arm around his mom.

Together they walked into the building, asking for the room where they were to have their meeting. They walked down several halls before coming to an open door where a silver haired man dressed in a green suit stood. Riku glared at Baralai, wishing that he would catch fire and nobody would care to help him. Yunalesca walked in, ignoring Baralai completely and shaking hands with the man handling their papers. Riku followed afterwards, situating himself in between his parents. The room was a decent size, so at least he didn't feel like he was suffocating.

"Alright, Ms. Yunalesca, Mr. Baralai, shall we proceed?" The elderly man asked, taking out a folder from within his briefcase. "All the preparations have been done all we need is a single signature from the both of you."

They both took a hold of a pen and were about to sign when a knock could be heard. Riku felt his fingers tense up at the sound.

"I apologize," Baralai responded, setting his pen down and opening the door. "I was hoping this wouldn't happen."

Riku couldn't make out who was standing outside the door and it wasn't until Baralai moved that he felt a sudden mixture of anger, surprise, and overall confusion. Standing right in front of him was a beautiful woman with shoulder length brown hair and dressed in a provocative looking business suit where the skirt was a little too high. And standing right beside him was the same brunet he had seen at school. They exchanged glances, Riku horrified by the confirmation of his worst thoughts.

"He's the bitch's son…"

So, should I continue? I've got ideas going through my head, I hope you guys like it and maybe I'll see where this goes.
