A/N: Warning: This will have some NSFW topics including sex, drugs and language. This story also includes M/M romance between Zevran and Anders. There is nothing too explicit with their relationship, but an early warning so you aren't surprised. Rated M.

I was having a fun (and probably inappropriate) chat with my gals over on Facebook's Dragon Age Fanfiction Writers Page and Wyldehart made a comment about DA High. I thought it was a fantastic idea and decided to make a little story out of it with my F!Tabris. It's nothing serious. Just a little bit of fun. Enjoy! (This is for all of my fellow Carver lovers!)

Chapter 1: "Fools"

Leila Tabris drummed her pencil against the desk. Her teacher, Loghain Mac Tir, was droning on about the battle of River Dane, apparently describing his real true experiences of that day. Her cousin, Shianni, was sitting a few desks to her right, dozing. She knew Loghain could see Shianni from where he stood, but the older man ignored her completely. With a sigh, Leila grab a piece of her blonde hair and twirled it between her fingers. History was so boring. Shianni, the lucky bitch, was hungover from a party she had gone to the night before. Soris had accompanied her to make sure their cousin didn't get too crazy, but Shianni had ditched him the moment they walked in. Now she was so hungover she couldn't even keep her eyes open.

"The battle of River Dane was the most pivotal battle in the entire Rebellion." Loghain continued on, turning towards the chalkboard and drawing a map of the area he was discussing.

Leila shook her head. Damn Shianni's good fortune at avoiding this lecture. What she wouldn't give for a massive headache or any excuse to avoid class. When the bell finally rang, Leila didn't hesitate in grabbing her books and scrambling from the room. She wasn't willing to spend another second in the same place as "The Hero of River Dane". The young elf weaved her way through the halls and on to her locker.

Once the metal door was unlocked, Leila stuffed her books into the small space before searching for her deck of cards. With a grin, she curled her fingers around the box and pulled it from the backpack. Slamming the door closed again, Leila squealed out in surprise at the sight of her best friend standing there.

"Andraste's flaming tits, Izzy! What are you doing there?" Leila snapped, stuffing her card box into the pocket of her jeans. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Isabela, affectionately called Izzy by only her dearest friends, leaned against the lockers beside Leila's with her arms crossed over her bosom. Her dark hair fell across her shoulders, a simple blue head band pulling it out of her face. Her dark Rivaini complexion was accentuated by the white tank top and jean skirt she wore. An assortment of massive jewelry covered her neck and ears making her almost look like a pirate vixen.

"I came to fetch you for the game." She explained with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "You're late."

"I have Loghain for last period. You know how he is." Leila said with an exasperated sigh. She and Isabela began to walk the halls towards the cafeteria where the rest of their friends would be waiting for them. Leila's short hair brushed her cheeks as she moved.

"Ooh what topic was it this time? The First Blight? The death of the Rebel Queen?" Izzy pressed, looking as if she were holding back her laughter.

Leila rolled her eyes. "Like you even have to ask."

"Does that man ever tire of hearing himself speak?" Izzy asked as they turned a corner. "Is Shianni coming to the game?"

Leila snorted. "Shianni's hungover. I'm pretty sure she's going to hide in the girl's bathroom and sleep it off."

Isabela laughed at her friend's comment. She was about to respond with some witty remark about Leila's drunk of a cousin when a tall guy with long black locks, caramel skin and the most delicious body brushed passed them. The young elf froze in her steps before turning to stare after the teen that had touched her. Izzy shook her head though Leila didn't see it. Her blue gaze was focused on the guy getting farther away.

"You still haven't told him, have you?" Isabela asked quietly, not really wanting to discuss romance, but knowing Leila needed to. The elf had been hiding her feelings for far too long.

Izzy knew that Leila had heard her question because the elf's shoulders tensed.

"Leila- if you don't tell him soon, Zevran will-"

"I don't care." Leila interrupted, not wanting to hear another word. Her love life was not open for discussion. "Zev can mind his fucking business."

"That's never going to happen, kitten." Izzy reminded her as her arm came around her friend's shoulders. She wasn't usually the one people came to for comfort, unless it involved sex, so this was new territory for the Rivain. "Come on. Varric and the others will be waiting."

"Rivaini! Goldie!" Varric Tethras shouted from his place at the head of the table. "It's nice of you to join us! We were about to get started without you!"

Leila sank into her usual seat beside Varric with a grin. "What's up Varric?"

The dwarf smirked at her. "You look happy. It's creepy."

"Should I refrain from being happy then?" She asked, grabbing one of the sodas from the center of the table.

As she popped the can open, Varric raised an eyebrow at her. "Well it is you, Goldie."

"I assure you, dwarf, that I can be happy." Taking a sip of soda, Leila didn't allow her gaze to leave Varric's. When she was finished, she placed the soda on the table in front of her and made a satisfied sound.

Varric let out a bark of a laugh.

Isabela had taken the seat opposite of Leila. Her legs were crossed like a lady, but Izzy was no lady. Most people in the school called her a whore and they would be right, she slept around, but Leila admired her for it. Izzy was fearless. She was leaning her chair back, arms crossed, as she smirked at her friend. Fenris, the elf who Isabela slept with more often than not, was sitting beside her. His white hair hung in shaggy layers around his face. His green eyes were glancing down at Isabela's exposed legs as he shuffled a pack of cards in his hands. Leila had to keep from smiling at the obvious way her friend was leading him on.

Leila stared into Izzy's deep brown eyes with a challenge.

Tart, she mouthed at her friend.

Izzy's eyes danced as she stared back. She shot back with her own word. Chicken.

Leila stuck her tongue out at Isabela as the door to the cafeteria opened. She managed to get caught in the act by the very man she wished hadn't seen it.

"Don't let me stop you, bella." Zevran Arainai purred as he sat in the vacant seat beside Leila with cat like grace. "I can think of a few uses for that lovely tongue of yours."

Varric and Izzy howled in laughter while Fenris looked a bit uncomfortable. Leila, with a bright smile, leaned towards Zevran and with a quick movement, kissed him on the lips. When she had pulled away, her fellow blond elf looked disappointed.

"You are such a tease, mi amore." Zevran chuckled, throwing an arm around her shoulders and pulling her small frame into his. "Why must you do this to me? You drive me mad."

Leila glanced up at him. "Where is Anders? I thought he'd be here."

"Ah. Unfortunately, my true amore is in detention. He knows how to use that tongue of his in the worst way." Zevran responded with a shake of his head and a sad chuckle.

"And in the best?" Leila asked with a wink. That brought a smile from her friends.

"Si." Zevran agreed with a devious look. "That he does. So who is dealing?"

As Fenris passed the cards out for their game, Izzy had to open her mouth again. The girl never knew when to shut up.

"We ran into Carver on the way here." Isabela said, making sure she wasn't looking at Leila as she spoke. "Quite literally."

Zev's eyebrows came up in interest. "Oh? How did that go?"

"It didn't. He walked away as if she didn't exist."

All four pairs of eyes were on her. Leila felt the blush come to her cheeks and she ducked her head in an attempt to hide it. It didn't work.

"I thought you said he was aware of how you felt, bella." Zevran sounded disappointed as he spoke. Leila hated making him feel that way. She didn't want to let him down. She was just too afraid of putting herself out there. With Carver especially.

"I- couldn't do it." She admitted, feeling ashamed. She was such a fool at times.

Zevran's warm hand slipped into hers before squeezing. Leila's blue gaze fell on their entwined hands before meeting his golden gaze. "I understand, carina. I'll help you."
