"RING RING RING!"
Fang sighed half irritated half sleepily, her arm extended outwards and turned the wake up alarm off. Today would be another wonderful day at Eden Academy, humph yeah right. It seemed like she hadn't been enrolled long, but she was already a senior, with a big case of senioritis. Fang slumped out of bed and switched the light on it was at this time she knew she had to wake Vanille which was usually an impossible task. Vanille and Fang had lived together practically their whole lives. Vanille was her best friend, her family, and her biggest crush. Fang had been in love with the pig tailed girl for as long as she could remember, but never attempted to tell the red head. She was too afraid that she would be rejected or she would screw up their friendship. She stayed painfully silent and bottled up her feelings forever more. Snapping out of her thoughts, another groan escaped her well defined lips as she sauntered into the pig tailed girl's room. Fang knocked on the wall right above Vanille's bed.
"Vanille get up and get ready for school."
After letting out said statement the senior let out a loud yawn, which caused the stirring red head to yawn as well.
"I'm awake Fang."
With that said the younger girl rolled back underneath the covers, snuggling happily against their warmth and comfort. Fang growled lowly and swiped the blanket off the girl's small frame thus causing Vanille to shiver.
"I ain't got time to play games with ya get up already."
Fang yawned once more and exited the room slightly more annoyed than when she had awoke.
Vanille rubbed her eyes to free them of any sleepies that might have collected over night and stretched her arms wide. Her hair was wavy and more curly than usual and a bit tangled from having rolled around all night. She stepped out of bed and pulled down her chocobo night shirt and wandered into the kitchen where she saw Fang eating some toast.
"Did you make me any?"
Fang chewed furiously shoving the toast into her mouth as quick as she could, she mumbled something to Vanille with her mouthful, but it was of course something she could not decipher.
"I guess that's a no."
Vanille put a finger to her lip feeling her empty stomach roar in hunger as she watched Fang mercilessly eat the toast. She opened the freezer and pulled out some frozen waffles and popped them in the toaster. Fang stood up and wandered back into her room in a rush. Eden Academy required a uniform for it's students. Fang was suppose to wear the girl's uniform with the short skirt and everything dainty like that, but that wasn't her style. Opening her closest she pulled out her boy's uniform and grinned. The uniform consisted of a navy blue blazer with the Eden Academy emblem on the upper right breast, a red tie, a white dress shirt for underneath the blazer, and navy blue plaid pants. Sure she had gotten in trouble for wearing it a million times, but that never discouraged her one bit.
After changing into her uniform she grabbed her backpack and was about to head out the door until she saw Vanille. Vanille stared at the toaster with her eyes struggling to stay open while waiting on the waffles, she kept nodding off.
"Oi we're gonna be late again 'cuz ya can't wake up!"
Vanille's forehead slammed straight into the kitchen counter after falling asleep watching the waffles. She quickly shot up with a small wail of pain grasping her forehead , small tears clung to the corners of her eyelids and she rubbed her forehead. Fang sighed and walked over wrapping her arms around the younger girl's smaller frame.
"It's gonna be alright now just don't do that again aye?"
Fang smiled sincerely and wiped away the small tears that had formed. Vanille nodded wiping her eyes and hugged Fang in return.
"I'll go get ready now..."
The red head quickly ran into her room to get changed so the two of them wouldn't be late for the fourth time this week.
"Geez what am I gonna do with that girl?"
Fang chuckled softly and took the waffles out of the toaster placing them in a small bowl for Vanille to munch on during the commute to the academy. Fang hoped that the two of them would be on time today, since getting yelled at by the captain Farron was getting old quick. After all, Fang, was the vice captain of the kendo team and she was expected to put up a good image for the other members of the team. However, Fang was constantly late all the time and was always wearing the wrong uniform. Light didn't so much mind the uniform, but it definitely bothered her when people weren't punctual. Fang had been trying hard to get there on time since Light kept threatening to replace Fang as vice captain with Snow. The raven head knew it would never happen however since Snow annoyed the shit out of Lightning, and he was also dating her younger sister which Fang swore that the older Farron had a thing for. Fang chuckled at the thought of Serah in a wedding dress, and Light in a tuxedo next to her.
"Fang I'm ready!"
The girl was no longer crying she was now smiling happily, holding her flute case close by her side. Vanille was first chair in the flute section of the band, and was quite proud of it. She was always practicing her hardest she could advance to first chair, and it had paid off.
"Finally! Feels like I've been waiting an eternity or something like that."
"Fang it was only two minutes."
Vanille puffed up her cheeks cutely, making a small pouty face.
"Aw don't give me that look."
Fang walked over and handed the girl the bowl with the waffles and then proceeded to give her a noogie.
"Neh! Fang!"
Vanille whined loudly growing an even bigger pout while snacking on the waffles.
"Heh whoops. Let's go missy."
1111111111111~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
"Late again!"
Lightning's voiced boomed loudly through the kendo hall.
"Well I was on time until Vanille kept falling asleep and everything like that and uhh... the traffic heh yeah traffic! That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
"It's 8:30 Fang! School started an hour ago and your not even in your kendo uniform yet. Not to mention your tutor told me you haven't been staying after school, which means your now failing four classes! Honestly, I'm sick of this. If you do this one more time your demoted!"
Fire burned bright in Lightning's eyes she shot Fang another glare and walked to the other side of the room as an attempt to cool off. Fang scratched the back of her head with a sheepish grin feeling almost embarrassed, almost. The other team members stared blankly at her and quickly resumed practice so they wouldn't be scolded by the captain either.
"Heh YEAH! Be late again Fang and I'm gonna be vice captain!"
Snow cheered loudly, smiling from ear to ear knowing that him being vice captain now was actually something in reach.
"Yeah, Yeah. I'm gonna try my hardest now just so I don't have to address you everyday as vice captain."
Snow stuck his tongue out at Fang teasingly.
"Heh we'll see what happens."
"Humph ya bet we will."
Hope tapped Fang on the shoulder with a cheesy smile on his face looking deviously innocent.
"So vice captain are you going to change into uniform anytime soon?"
"I would but there ain't no point now. Farron's pissed at me and class ends in ten minutes."
"Well Fang, I could talk to Light about it I mean I am her favorite after all."
"Favorite huh?"
Fang suddenly raised her for voice so that everyone in the room could hear.
"I thought that Light's favorite was Serah after all she does have a sister complex ya know."
Lightning's face flashed red in anger and she turned to Fang and death glared her with her all her might.
"FANG GET OUT NOW!"
Light bellowed loudly causing Fang to run out of the room quickly. She had definitely gone too far for today. Well I guess this meant she wasn't going to be vice captain anymore...oh well.
The senior sighed, but her ears perked up quickly as she heard the sound of music flowing steadily down the hall way. She smiled brightly following the tune and ended up in the front of Mr. Sazh Katzroy's music class. She heard all kinds of instruments buzzing and flowing in perfect symphony. Fang listened closed and picked out her favorite sound of all, Vanille's flute. Fang noted the song they were playing was Three O'clock Fairy a song that Vanille and her had heard many times as children. Fang manged to drown out the other instruments and lost her self in the memorizing sound of Vanille's flute playing. Her mind drifted off to a fantasy of her dancing with Vanille in a masquerade ball while Vanille's flute echoed throughout the dance hall.
Vice principal Jihl Nabaat eyed Fang oddly as she observed her smile with her eyes closed, taping her foot to the rhythm.
"Still wearing the incorrect uniform I see, Oerba Yun Fang."
Fang quickly snapped out of her fantasy and narrowed her eyes at the woman in front of her.
"Humph! Of course I ain't gonna wear that girl's uniform ever. Why don't you quit giving me bull about it already I'm already a senior. I'll graduate soon."
Jihl pushed up her glasses and chuckled while smirking at Fang.
"Graduate huh? I doubt that I saw your grades this morning when
I discussed your behavior with Lightning Farron. The two of us are quite concerned with your performance Fang. I suggest you start attending class rather than skipping to listen to the band play music."
"Tch! I did go to class, but Farron kicked me out."
"Is it really any wonder why?"
"Whatever. Just leave me alone."
"I'm not going to be. I'll be checking on you all week to see if your going to graduate or not. I need to start making the list of students who are going to graduate after all."
"...Fine."
Fang folded her arms and stared at the ground, today was nothing but crap so far, but Vanille's flute melodies made it much more bearable.
"No manners as usual."
Jihl flipped her hair and strutted down the hall in her three inch heels.
The sound of the bell buzzed off filling the entire school signaling the transition to second period. Fang felt almost saddened she wouldn't be able to hear Vanille play anymore.
The band class shuffled out of the small room quickly, Vanille smiled widely seeing Fang waiting for her.
"Fang! You waited for me."
"Uh..Yeah I was listening to ya play."
Fang's cheeks flushed slightly, but it was hardly noticeable considering her tan skin tone.
"Really? What about Kendo though?"
"...Got out early!"
Fang grinned wide trying to hide her shame of being kicked out earlier.
"How unusual Light usually makes you guys practice the whole class right?"
"Uh well she wasn't feeling that well today and everything like that."
Fang was a horrible liar, but Vanille always seemed to believe her.
"Really? Oh geez...I hope she feels better soon!"
Vanille said with the utmost sincerity looking quite worried for the older Farron. Guilt punched Fang in the gut now feeling horrible for lying to her best friend.
"Hey Vanille!" Serah quickly ran beside the two friends and smiled.
"Oh, hey Serah!" Vanille smiled widely.
"Vanille come here I wanna ask you something!" Serah waved Vanille closer.
Vanille blinked confused and Serah began to whisper in her ear. Vanille blushed dark red and shook her head.
Fang raised an eyebrow curious as to what made Vanille blush.
"Aye what you two on about?"
Serah and Vanille busted out in giggles and continued whispering to each-other again
"Aye?"
Serah looked at Fang and whispered something to Vanille that made her blush even redder.
"Well are you?" Serah smiled deviously.
Vanille shook her head slowly.
"N-No not yet." Vanille said shyly looking at the confused Fang.
Serah looked at Fang and grinned.
"Fang who are you going to take to prom with you? Snow already asked me! I can't wait. Vanille is gonna go dress shopping with me."
"I hadn't even thought about the prom really. I do want to ask someone, but I'm a little scared too."
Serah giggled a little bit and looked at Fang.
"Are you going to ask my sister or something?"
Fang eyes widened and she shook her head rapidly
"No way! If I ever did she'd kill me or something like that. Besides I figured she would of asked you Serah." Fang bursted out laughing, Serah looked at Fang disgusted, and Vanille sighed.
As if on call Snow came running up and hugged Serah from behind causing her to blush.
"Well if it ain't the ex vice captain, Fang." Snow chuckled a bit, holding onto Serah.
Vanille looked up at Fang in disbelief.
"Ex vice captain? What's he talking about Fang?"
Fang looked at the ground in shame.
"Well didn't Fang tell ya that Lightning kicked her out this morning and then told the class Fang was demoted?"
"Kicked out? Fang you said you got out early!" Vanille frowned at Fang with a hint of anger in her eyes at being lied to.
"I'm sorry...I didn't want ya to know..."
"But why?"
"I didn't want you to know cuz I didn't want you to be disappointed in me like everyone else around here!"
