Title: The Funny Thing

Rating: Teen 16+. Just to be safe. For bad language, yoai, no lemon (sorry!), teen partying, use of alcohol, a little bit of sexual themes. But not that detailed.

Sora: Why am I always classified as a geek?

Riku: … Because you wear a red jumpsuit…

Sora: … I hate you.

Chapter 1: He was a boy, and he was a geek. Can I make it any more obvious?

Sora watched the cars go by as he was making his way towards school. I t was only a few blocks away from where he lived. Since Destiny Islands was a pretty small island to live on. The Elementary, Middle, and High schools stood apart. All of them were private, and the students would have to wear the same uniform every year. Sora was now in High school. A freshman at Tompkins High. He knew that the sophomores wouldn't go easy on him the first day. Sora was a smart kid. Who excelled in writing the most. The only reason why he used glasses was so he could read a book. Other than that, he could see fine. But just because you didn't wear glasses all the time didn't mean you weren't defined as a geek loser in the clique book. That's pretty much what the so called "Poplars" called him. Even the football players besides his older brother. But that didn't mean he wasn't to be teased at home. At home Sora would fight back. If only he could have done that at school, but he'd probably get punched for that even if he stood up to the jocks. But there was one other boy who didn't pick on him. A boy with silver hair flowing to his neck, with aquamarine eyes. He had some muscles. Just like any other popular guy would. But while the others were picking on Sora, he'd just stare. Not saying anything at all. It never dawned on Sora that someone that popular would blow a chance to humiliate a geek. It was almost as if he resented the fact of picking on him. Sora liked it, but was too nervous to try and talk to the boy.

Sora had finally made it to school. He was early again. Oh great. He thought. What more of a way for the jocks to pick on me before school hours.

The brunette looked about the halls before he made his first attempt to his locker, making sure there were no jocks in sight, and quickly made his way towards his locker. Combination set, take of lock, whew. Sora sighed with relief. Usually, the jocks would have already pounded him against his own locker. Maybe they decided to come late. Sora thought as he closed his locker with a hand-full of books in his hands. Who cared? Sora was jock-free for the first time. And walked off, but before he could make anymore steps he heard his name being called. "Hey Sora!" It shouted madly.

Shoot… Sora thought. He knew that voice! It was Josh Guard. Captain of the football team. Josh walked up to him with his crew, knocking Sora's books down and tripping the poor brunette to the ground.

"Get some friends loser!" He and his friends laughed. The even knocked off Sora's glasses.

At the time, Riku and his friends were talking. Riku even saw the little incident that happened. Larxene was mouthing off about her nail beds, as Kadaj, Riku's older brother was listening. Riku completely ignored it and walked over to Sora, kneeling down beside him, helping him with his books.

Sora looked up shocked. And Riku just smiled a friendly smile.

"Here you go." Riku said softly, handing the brunette his books.

"Thanks," Sora replied. "Thanks, a lot."

Sora then realized something. He felt his eyes. Uh-oh. He searched around the floors and saw his glasses had been cracked.

"Darn it!" He said with dismay. "My mom is going to kill me!"

"Wow," Riku said taking the glasses. "I'm really sorry! If there's any trouble, maybe I can help you buy a new one."

Sora raised his eyebrows. "You'd do that?" He asked Riku.

Riku shrugged. "Well, yeah. I mean, it's the least I can do since Josh was pretty much an ass to you."

Sora smiled a little. "Thanks but, Josh should buy them if anyone needed too. You don't have to buy them, maybe if I tell my mom what really happened then she'll understand. I only used them for reading and in school anyways."

Sora tried to smile. He knew his mother would be mad at him either way. Since money was so short for them. Ever since Sora's father left it has been hard money wise.

Riku smiled. "You know he wont pay you back, and plus, if I were you mom I'd be pissed wither way. Please, let me help you out." Riku assured.

Sora smirked. "Clever one. Well I don't know. I have nothing to offer you in return."

Riku shrugged "I'll think of something."

Sora nodded. "Thank you," Sora shuddered. "I appreciate it!" he then said cheerfully.

Riku grinned at the brunette. "Walk with me to class?" he asked Sora.

Sora thought. Well, he isn't one of those jocks that push me around. I should give him a chance. Sora nodded and they both walked side by side to class.

How strange it was. Sora had only seen Riku in Middle school. And the silver-haired teen had never spoken with him before. Sora tried not to think that this was just a big trick and that Riku would push him around later. But there was something about the older teen that stroked Sora's interest. It wasn't like him to just g head over heels for a guy he just met. But it's almost like he could trust Riku.

"Can I see your schedule?" Riku had asked.

Sora twisted his face and reached into the bottom of his pile of books, and handed Riku the white small paper that directed his day.

Riku read the paper carefully. Nodding his head from time to time. "Looks like we have four classes together, Sora." He chirped.

Sora let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Which ones?"

Riku looked at the schedule again. "We have first block together, GT science, math, lunch, and art."

Art, was pretty much o.k. for Sora. It wasn't the most exciting exploratory for him, but it beat being in PE.

"Cool," Sora said. 'So is this the science room?" he asked Riku.

Riku nodded. Yeah, you ready to go in?"

Sora nodded and they both walked into the chalk scented chalk class room. As the two boys sat in their seats, class started. Riku looked at Sora as the brunette was copying down the notes from the board. And the silver-haired teen smiled.

Sora was a pretty cool guy. Despite what his friends thought. Even though he looked a little dorky. Who would have thought it without his glasses? He looked like a completely normal kid without them, and maybe if his friends got to know him like Riku did, they would take a liking to the brunette also.

The older teen glanced up at the teacher's desk. The teacher had been writing down a couple of more notes on the overhead. The science room was never had good technology. Every other class had the dry-erase boards in the rooms. To Riku, since was the most important out of all the other classes. But everyone seemed to guess that math was. Sora looked pretty geek like, copying the notes down. Almost looking professional, he pushed a piece of thick light brown hair from his eyes, and then went back to the notes on the over head.

Riku didn't know how late it was until the bell rang. He only had copied a few of his notes, but thankfully their teacher Ms. Steward said that that the notes would continue tomorrow. Sora waited for Riku out side the door.

"Hey!" He said cheerfully.

Riku smiled. "Hey, you know where the Social Studies room is?" The older teen asked him.

Sora thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah," He said. "Right down the right hallway, right?"

Riku nodded. "Yep, that's it."

Sora smiled a little. "Ok, Thanks for reminding me! I'll be heading off now!" Sora said.

"Do you want me to walk you down?" Riku asked the brunette.

Sora shrugged. "Well we only have five minutes between classes; you should go ahead to yours."

"All right then," Riku said. "See you at lunch." He said disappointed.

Sora waved. "Bye then!"

Riku waved back. "Bye."

Both teens walked to class.

Sora: hah… some of you guys really think we're straight? I mean, seriously.

Riku: you're the one that's gay.

Sora: Just because the creator made my hand go all the way to your butt doesn't mean I'm gay!

Riku:singing: If you were gay, it'd be ok, Cause' I'd love you anyways…

Sora: DAMN YOU SQUARE ENIX!

Hookah. Well that was weird but I felt I made the chapter too short so yay!: D Working on next chapter!
