A/N: Oh wow, never thought I'd see the handwritten version of what I'm about to type again. But as luck would have it, a friend that's staying over here wanted to write, and I dug through my notebooks to find one that didn't have much in it so he could, and stumbled upon a half written first chapter for a story that I'm now gonna finish and post. And thus, High School Pandemonium was born. And now, I've got the title done, I can move on and actually type the piece. Stop listening to me ramble, and go read.
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy XIII or any of it's characters that appear in this fic. They are the property of Square Enix. I also do not own the name of the school in this story, as it's a name used a lot in FFXIII High School fics. I do own an O.C. Who is a teacher in the fic, as well as the Honda Civic that Light drives in this, as it's based off of my own Civic. And the Ninja that Fang drives is based off of my actual Ninja.
Summary: It's senior year for Lightning, and she thinks it's gonna be just like all the others, no one will talk to her, no one will be her friend, and she'll be alone again. Her views and especially her solitude change however; when a pair of exchange students from Gran Pulse arrive and turn her world as she knows it upside down.
Warning: This will contain consensual homosexual relations between women, as well as explicit nudity and sexual content in later chapters. For those of you who do not like Lesbianism, I suggest you leave now, and do not piss me off.
Chapter 1: Exchange Confusion
Lightning Farron sat on her bed, hair done, showered, teeth brushed and dressed as she stared sullenly at her calender. Her senior year started today, and instead of being excited and ready as most others would probably be, Light lacked any and all enthusiasm. She pushed her glasses up her nose where they had slipped off, and after letting out a huff, plopped down on her bed. It was a boring day for Lightning Farron. The new semester started today, and as always, Lightning figured that no one would want anything to do with her. It's not that Light was one of the ugly crowd, far from it actually, she was extremely beautiful. With her athletic legs that ran for days, the curvy, yet athletic figure, her piercing blue eyes, and the beautiful, but rare and always genuine and fleeting half-smile Light was easily one of the most desirable women in her school, (Light herself thought Serah was crazy when she said that, she agreed that she was at least good looking, but she'd never go that far in describing herself, she had a lot more humility than that) even her exotic champagne pink hair added to the beautiful figure that Lightning cut.
It could have been that Light was considered simply too smart by her peers, and that turned them off to her, or it could have been the fact that she was quiet and reserved, often even appearing aloof, but as it was Lightning was definitely NOT one of the most popular people in school, only having two people she could even consider friends. Lebreau, who had been her best friend since they had met in elementary school, and Snow, her younger sisters boyfriend. Now while Light wouldn't be caught dead admitting to Snow that they were friends, they most certainly were. Snow had been kind to her since day one, after Light and Serahs' parents had died, Snow had been the one to supply Lightning with the job and steady, more than generous paycheck that had allowed her to fight for custody of her sister and win. She had done everything she could from that point on to pay him back, but every time she had tried to repay him, she had been rebuffed, with Snow merely stating that he had been glad to assist, and her allowing him to date Serah when she had gotten older was payment enough for him. And thus, the friendship between Light, Snow, and Lebreau was sealed tight. Gadot was a new comer who ended up becoming Snow's best friend, and while Lightning wasn't too fond of the muscular and large tan man with the red Mohawk, they got along fairly well. As for Serah, she was a sophomore this year, so Lightning also had her younger sister.
She sighed as she thought about it. Serah would be riding to school with Snow in his Lamborghini, leaving Lightning to take her purple and black Honda civic to school on her own. Now Light was proud of her 2002 Civic, fitted for street racing, (She loved to race in her spare time, though only Serah and Snow knew this, as Snow had actually BOUGHT her the car when she had turned 18 as a present.) It went from zero to sixty in three and a half seconds, could hit a top speed of two hundred and twenty and had an amazing paint job. The body was jet black, with purple trim, her roof scoop was jet black, a vortex design, and her spoiler was a dark purple. The dragon on her hood was a beautiful purple, clashing elegantly with the black body, a Chinese dragon wrapping around a Yin-Yang symbol, with golden kanji for Live to Race going around the top and Race to Live on the bottom. The chain ninjas on the side were also done in a beautiful purple, making the image a gorgeous one. It had a slimmer body kit than the original one, (another present from Snow) and the mirrors were slimmer, with a double exhaust pipe in the back and racing tires on each axle. It had a black leather interior, with purple trim. She had spent a lot of time with her car, meticulously caring for it like it was her own child, as well as her gunblade, her weapon of choice for if she ever joined the Guardian Corp.
She chanced a glance at her clock and noticed that she had about ten minutes left before she had to head off to school, meet her new roommate (the dorms were where the students lived during the school year, returning to their homes for holidays, summers, and any other vacations they had, kind of like college) and get her schedule as well as her itinerary for her campus security squad of which she was captain. She sighed before standing from her bed and exiting her room, going down the stairs and out of the house to her garage, where her prized Civic waited. After double checking that she had locked up her house, sh pulled her keys from her pocket and opened the door of her car, getting in and adjusting the mirror before strapping her seat belt in and turning the engine. She shifted into reverse, (the new automatic transmission put in still felt odd to her, since she was still used to and missed her manual transmission, which unfortunately was shot.) and hit the button for her garage door to open, before backing out and turning her car around. She shifted forward into drive and took off down the road slowly, allowing her mind to wonder about who her new roommate could possibly be. If she had her way, she would be rooming with Serah, but alas she was not. And with this depressing thought in her head, Lightning drove on to see what torture would await her in the coming year.
A/N: Hi, The TableThrower here with a special tv offer, give me at least five reviews, and I give you a new chapter by next Saturday :D I know this was short, but it's kind of supposed to be. See I have the first chapter planned out already and I'm hoping it's gonna come out as epic here as it is in my head. This is just a small glimpse of the first chapter, the prologue if you will, considering the next chapter starts out in the summer before this. Come the next three chapters you may notice what it is that actually influenced this :P
Until Next Time, The TableThrower signing off.
