A/N: ANOTHER CHAPTER STORY! ZOMG! But trust me, I'm keeping up with this. Chapter two is almost complete, which means chapter three should be starting soon. I'll say no more, enjoy the story! Stander disclaimer applies.
Vanitas vs. Society
I never really liked people. Not certain people, just people in general. I really only put up with my "mother" because she kept me under a roof and gave me money. Say what you will about me, my name is Vanitas Jason Chase, and I'm one pissed off motherfucker. Why, you may ask? I just hate everybody. My beef with the world is none of your concern, readers. Well, it will be now, because you're reading this. Now you're thinking that the author of this story is a douchebag. Why, you may ask? Well, I'm breaking the fourth wall, go figure. He's writing this story, so he is in control of what I do, say, feel, think and how I function both mentally and physically. Now, let's get on to my story. As I said earlier, my name is Vanitas Jason Chase. The name "Jason" comes from my father, Jason Long. I never liked my father, he abused me all the time, never really looked after me. Neither did my mum, Angela Chase. Yeah, dad didn't change his name, so what? Mum and Dad never really got on well; I guess they felt dedicated after they found out that I was living inside of Mum's womb. I feel loved, so loved that I don't really feel loved at all. Dad cheated on mum with some bitch named Gale, or something. My mum didn't really care. She told him to piss off and started looking after me. This doesn't mean I like my mum though, I just live in her house and do what I please.
Oh look, another paragraph. Wow, I love breaking the fourth wall. I'm sixteen years old, by the way, and for some reason... Girls drool over me. I mean, I have amazing hair, amber eyes and the biggest ego filled smirk in existence, I should come off as a jerk right? Wrong actually, according to my one friend, I'm a teenage girl's heartthrob. Who may say this? None other than Xion West, the only friend I know and have, I don't need another one. We understand each other; she lives in a foster home with a caring foster mother named Monica. That's not really important though, because Xion and I have a little history, and it went something like this.
I was walking down the street with my father, Jason. Skulking slowly behind him in my black jumper and black track pants... did I mention I like black earlier? I believe I didn't... And no, it doesn't mean I'm what people call an emo. I'm not Scene either, so you can rule that out to. Anyway, as I was skulking behind my father, I noticed a girl not far from where I was walking, arguing with some kid. She was short, had black hair and reminded me of that grade four bitch named Kairi. Oh, this is like, six years ago by the way, remember that now. The other kid was tall and had silver hair, weird shoes and blue jeans. He also had no shirt on, I have no fucking idea why, but he just didn't. Without dad noticing, I slunk off by myself to go talk to these people, because I was slightly less anti-social at the time. I approached them and they stopped talking, then I said; "Why the hell don't you have a shirt on?" to the silver haired kid.
"Because, it's always warm here, why are you wearing track pants?" Silver Hair had replied.
I stuck my finger up at the kid and replied; "Because I can, you got a fucking problem with that?"
The little black haired girl had dropped her mouth open at my foul language.
"How can you such bad words?" She gasped.
"What's it to you?" I replied.
"Answer her." Silver Hair said, putting his two cents worth in.
"Go away pony boy, what are you trying to achieve by having no shirt on anyway? Wannabe surfer, wannabe skater, wannabe faggot... The opportunities are endless." I smirked at my last words. But I had not time to react. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground rubbing my cheek. I get up, and dust myself off, much to Silver Hair's distaste.
"You punch like a girl." I remarked.
"You look like a girl!" Silver Hair shot back.
"I think you'll find you look more girly than I do."
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Both of you just shut up!" The little girl had yelled. I was astonished; I'd never heard a girl yell before. Silver Hair seemed taken aback to.
"Calm down, midget. Don't get your knickers in a knot." I had replied mockingly. At this stage, these two were annoying me greatly, especially silver hair and his luscious hair. That's right, I said luscious. I only thought that then because my hair was short and spiky back then, it annoyed me a lot. Just because this kid had luscious silver hair, Jesus.
I hadn't noticed that the short raven haired girl had started crying, seriously? What a cry baby. I could hear silver hair going off at me then trying to comfort raven hair at the same time. I sighed and turned around to walk off, then miraculously...
"Don't leave!" I turned back around to see silver hair glaring at me with his arms crossed. I gave him a cocky smirk, because I could.
"You made Xion cry." Silver Hair obviously stated.
"Not my problem." I replied. I then took a better look at raven hair, or Xion, I should say. She was really upset. Believe it or not, I started to feel some sympathy for the girl. "Ok, I'm sorry. Just don't cry ok? You're making me uncomfortable."
Xion had sniffed at my words and looked up at me with bleary eyes. "Say it like you mean it!" She pouted tearfully.
"I, Vanitas Jason Chase am deeply sorry for using foul language and making you cry." What? I was a smart ten year old. I had brains my lovely readers.
"Good enough for me." Silver Hair replied, walking over to me. He stuck his arm out. "Hey Vanitas, I'm Riku. This is my best friend Xion."
"Wonderful, now why don't we go and gr-"
"VANITAS CHASE! WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?" a voice echoed down the alleyway. I turned around to see Jason - my dad - storming towards me. He seemed more pissed off than usual to.
"Got to fly guys, we'll catch up another time." I said as I turned around and broke into a sprint, running back to my father. I could feel Xion and Riku's eyes following every single one of my footsteps.
I got back to my dad and received the usual greeting of a clip under the ears. That's how he greeted me every time I ran off or something.
"Don't run off again, you little runt!" He spat as he turned around and stalked off. I looked over my shoulder to see the other two staring at me with wide eyes, so I shrugged my shoulders at them.
So there you have it people, that is a brief history of my friendship with Xion. Riku became my friend to... But we're kind of in a fight now. What? The guy is a douche, he tried to have sex with Xion while he was drunk, and lucky I was there to knock him out. I think we should jump to the day where I'm going to start this story. On that day, my life changed majorly, so I'm recording myself retelling my amazing story. Enjoy.
It was a Friday afternoon, there was five minutes to go until the school bell rang for the final time that day. I sat at the desk spinning my pen between my fingers. Ancient Civilization's was such a boring class; I don't even know why I chose it. Oh, that's right. My mum chose it for me... Something about how I really used to be into Greeks and stuff. Ha, the only thing I know about that is all the things I absorb from Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I trained my thoughts back onto the paper I was currently writing.
"Explain the inspiration for roman architecture." I mumbled to myself. I knew a little bit about this, but writing an overdue paper on the last day of school before summer was a bitch. I had no time to write about Roman's, I have to go out and get absolutely hammered and be a total jerk. I tapped my pen on my head as I thought about the question. I was about to write my answer down when somebody walked past me and a piece of paper slipped onto the ground near my feet. I looked around quickly. The teacher was busy sleeping, the students were relatively quiet and I could feel somebody watching me. Freaking sixth sense now, it happens all the time. I duck down quickly and grab the piece of paper; I open it slowly and read it to myself.
"Meet me at Star Seeker Arcade, at 4:30 after school."
That's all it said. I couldn't recognize the hand writing at all. It was, fancy and slightly loopy. I looked over my right shoulder and rested my eyes on Xion. She was off in her own world, headphones in and world off. I winked at her, she gave me puzzled look. I waved the piece of paper slightly and gave her a questioning look. She raised her eyebrows at me and shrugged her shoulders. A loud ringing shrill filled my ears as the bell finally rang. All of the students got up and quickly ran out of the classroom. Only Xion and I were left behind. The teacher was still sleeping, but I didn't care. If he was too lazy to collect my paper, then it was a win on my half. I walked out of the classroom into a hallway full of students milling towards the doors. Half of them were practically running. I don't blame them, a summer on Destiny Islands, away from what they call "School." That's right, Destiny Islands... The most beautiful place in the world. I turned around to talk to Xion, who took her headphones out as I did.
"Hey shortie, know who's writing this is?" I shoved the paper right in her face. She flinched.
"Vanitas!" She exclaimed. "You bitch. You know I don't like things right in my face!" She huffed.
I leant right towards her face, just to piss her off and received a slight shove to the chest. I smirked and straightened up. "You still didn't answer my question." I replied as I turned around, talking over my shoulder as I did. Xion rolled her eyes at me.
"I don't know Van, I just see fancy loops. Who'd want to meet you anyway?" she said mockingly.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe I have a long lost brother, or maybe some bitch wants to get in my pants, again." I replied sarcastically.
Xion chuckled. "Oh, should I be jealous? Who cares, as long as I have ice cream and Twilight, I should be fine." She poked her tongue out at me.
"That's the only downside to you." I replied.
"What? What's wrong with Twilight?"
"Everything, it's just horrible shortie. Are we leaving, or are we going to stay locked in school for the rest of the summer?" I said as I started walking slowly towards the door.
"Yup, we're off to see the wizard!" Xion sang as she skipped towards the door.
"The wonderful wizard of McDonald's..." I mumbled. Every time Xion sang those words, it meant she wanted McDonald's, which meant I had to pay for it. But... If I was to meet this mystery person at Star Seeker Arcade, I'd have to eat and run. I don't really like eating on the go. You spill everything and the food goes down horribly.
I walked towards the doors of Destiny High and opened them. As soon as I did, I was ambushed. A group of girl's mob hugged me. This happened all the time. It was apparently because I'm a "Heartthrob" with my "Eyes the colour of a blissful sunset." and my "Hair as black and mysterious as the dark side of the moon." also because I was a bad boy.
I looked down to survey my "attackers"; they were that group of cheerleaders that were always in their uniforms and flaunting their not so good bodily features. Directly in front of me was Kairi, the A grade slut of year eleven. Shoulder length auburn hair, deep blue eyes and a sexy body to match. I can't deny she's attractive. To my left was another cheerleader, with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. Selphie, the hyperactive, epileptic, boy stalker. I felt bad for her mainly because of her epilepsy, that's why I showed her a little kindness. On my right was a new girl that I had never seen before. Short, black hair, brown eyes and knee high converse. Hm, interesting girl. She seemed really energetic too.
"Hey Vani, what are you doing tonight?" Kairi asked as she ran her hands down my chest.
I smirked. This again? Ha, bitch please, I would never go there. I want to learn about this girl on my right. "Not you, KaiKai. I'm meeting some random at SSA. Now excuse, young lady," I said as I turned around to face the girl on my right. "Who might you be?"
"My names-"
"She's not important Vani, what I want to know is why you won't go out with me..." Kairi gave me a puppy dog face and squeezed her arms against her breasts. Nice try whore, but those aren't gonna get my attention. However... This black haired girl...
"Come over here, black hair." I said as I walked over to a seat. She followed and sat down; still bouncing on the spot she was sitting on. "Now, what's your name?"
"Yuffie Kisaragi!" She replied. "I only came to this school at the start of the term, and apparently I had to meet you, according to Kairi." Yuffie explained as I looked over my shoulder at Kairi. She gave me a wink and smoothly rubbed her thigh. Selphie was behind her giggling.
"Well, Yuffie. Do you want to make Kairi jealous?" I asked with a smirk. Don't worry; I knew what I was doing. Yuffie nodded vigorously in reply. I grinned again and leant towards Yuffie swiftly and kissed her. Right on the lips, straight away. To my surprise, she didn't reject. She let me; damn she was good at this shit. Her tongue dove into my mouth and wormed its way around, crashing against mine and exploring the cavernous regions of eating. We slowly broke away after ten seconds. Yuffie was highly flustered.
"Give me your phone." I said to her. She nodded and pulled her phone out of her handbag. A Samsung Galaxy Ace, not bad at all. I went into her contacts, took a photo of myself and typed my number in and handed her phone back.
"Call me!" I yelled as I ran off towards Xion. Yuffie was still flustered; she looked so sexy with that face. I reached Xion and walked briskly towards the gates of Destiny High and out onto the street. Excuse me while I go ejaculate over the sheer beauty of this place. A bustling semi urban city, filled with shops and malls, cafes, hotels, arcades, theatres, the Town Hall and most likely the greatest place of them all, the beach. Tall palm trees lined the sidewalks of the city; the sky remained a nice deep blue. Cars and public transport zoomed along the roads in a speedy fashion. Street lights littered the sidewalks and people milled about around the shops. Slight vegetation appeared in lushness on certain patches of the pathway, for decorative purposes of course.
"So, you pulled out that trick again?" Xion asked as we walked past "Merlin's Amazing Magic!"
"Yup, I actually kind of like her. She's pretty." I replied.
"I heard she has a real sex drive at times. Apparently she did it with Tifa Lockhart." Xion explained, as if this was normal talk. It was for us, every time I met a new girl; we had these kinds of talks. It kind of annoyed me at first, but I got used to it.
"Oh, this just gets better! So, she might be Bi-Sexual then? I can roll with that." I smirked as Xion slapped me on the shoulder. She shook her head as she turned a corner. I turned the same corner, and I couldn't find her. Ha-ha, this again. Great, what now?
"Vani-"
"HOLY SHIT. God damn it woman!" I had jumped so high, seriously. I hated being alone, I got way too jumpy for my own good.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Look, I have to run... Cassandra says that I have to get home now." She hugged me, nawh, how cute. "I'll see you tomorrow yeah? Have fun at the arcade!" She winked at me and ran off. There goes maccas.
"What about tonight? Won't you be playing LoL?" I yelled at her back. She turned around and shrugged. Ok, I'll take that as a maybe. She waves again and ran off. I sighed as I adjusted my bag. Damn art books, weighing my bag down. I debated whether or not I should Go and get some Macca's or go straight to the arcade. Arcade sounds like a plan. I turned around and headed the opposite way. I started wondering who this random person was who wanted to meet me. It was obviously a girl, because if it was a guy, it would have to be the gayest guy in the school. That would be Demyx if that was the case. I thought about all the females in my five classes; Art, Creative Writing, Ancient Civ's, Photography and Music. I couldn't be bothered thinking about them all though, so I narrowed them down to two groups, the obvious and the least obvious. I kept on brainstorming things as I walked past Huey's Factory, a clothes shop that was home to everything you could think of. Ranging from shirts and shorts to dresses and skirts, surfing brands to gaming and band attire, it was the best shop in DI. I decided to duck in and check to see if they had the two shirts I ordered a while ago. Huey was a good guy, he kept his word and kept items on hold for people even if it took them a month to buy it. I switched my mind back to finding out who this mystery girl might be, although nothing came to my mind I wondered if it was really Xion. I knew she was my friend and everything... But I don't think I could go there, you know? I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't want to screw up our friendship. See, I'm not all that bad am I?
I ran my eyes over the signs above the aisles as I looked for my first favourite section. Band merchandise is one of the greatest pieces of attire known to man. Huey was damn organized too, with bands categorized in alphabetical order. I had a lot of money to blow, so I think I might buy two shirts. Along with the ones on hold to.
Starting at A, I found one of my most favourite bands, Avenged Sevenfold. I looked through the shirts. I had most of these except for... Yes! It's here! The "Dear God" shirt. Now I'm satisfied, let's look for another shirt. I decided to go for one of my less heavy favourites, Simple Plan. I just picked an "I 3 SP" shirt because I was feeling uninspired and headed to the counter. I turned a corner... Then bam. Bumped into somebody, great. Last thing I need is someone ranting at me for bumping into them.
"Sorry for bump-" I stopped my speech dead in its tracks. The person I had bumped into was so damn beautiful. Shoulder length blonde hair, with a really cute looking face, ocean blue eyes, and a slender body. Wow, she was impressive. She was blushing too. She was looking quite fetching in her red skinny jeans, black converse, white "A Day to Remember" shirt, and with a pair of Turtlebeach's on her head. I have to find out her name, she is so damn gooooood!
The previously over afore mentioned girl gave me a scowl, then her expression changed, she blushed again and darted off. That was that, no words, nothing. Damn, did I smell? I deodorized earlier, I can't be that bad now? I looked down at my Zelda shirt and red skinny jeans and black and purple kustoms. What was wrong with me? I look quite dashing all the time. I just shoved it into the back of my mind and headed to the counter.
"Ah, Vanitas! Good to see you again, how is my favourite customer doing?" The short, white haired man greeted me with a wide grin. This was Huey, short, white haired and really energetic. Not to mention a good bloke to.
"Hey Huey, I'm not bad, how about you?" I replied with a smile. Now this was one guy I couldn't be a jerk to, he was just so damn nice!
"Quite well Van, about those shirts. One them arrived yesterday. I'm afraid the other one has been lost in the mail."
I would like to go back flip off a building right now. I hate it when stuff gets lost in the mail. Okay, maybe saying "Back flipping off a building" is a bit radical, but come on! Who doesn't hate losing items in the mail?
"Damn that sucks! Ok, which shirt came and which was lost?" I asked.
"Ah, the Yu-Gi-Oh abridged Duke Devlin shirt arrived. Unfortunately, your "Death Magnetic" Metallica shirt was lost."
"Well, that's not so bad. I'll take it now and these of course." I placed the other two shirts onto the counter. I looked around the shop as Huey scanned the items. Where did that little blonde lady go? I looked around the Band Merchandise isle where I had found her, she wasn't there. Nowhere, great!
"A total of sixty eight dollars my friend. Would you like a bag?" Huey asked, holding up a "Huey's" bag.
I nodded in reply and accepted the bag. I said goodbye to Huey and left the store. Now to the arcade, where I can finally meet this mysterious person. I have a feeling that it is gonna be a long night tonight. Whoever they are, they better be worth it.
