Chapter 1: Monday morning fiasco
Fang's POV:
I so hate Monday mornings. The way the sun blares at you as if taunting you just to wake you up or the way your step sister seems to barge in your room as if a fire broke in while shouting something that I clearly don't understand seeing that I was still sleeping at that time. I blink at her sleepily uttering a tired grunt before shoving myself deep within the confines of my bed and warm covers. I barely heard the sound of frustration coming from her before said covers was yanked within my grasps making my barely nude self ( I sleep in my underwear, what's so wrong with that?) shiver from the loss of heat.
"Wha' the hell Vanille?" I shouted at my sister. I glance at my phone to see the time before glaring at Vanille, "And it's still six in the morning! Don't ya know that everyone is still sleepin' in their damn beds at this hour? School doesn' even start till eight. Damn you!"
"Pfft, if I don' wake you up do you think your new roommate would appreciate coming into a room full of chaos and destruction?" Vanille rolled her eyes while before looking wearily at the mess I called my dorm which consists of dirty laundry mixed with clean ones on the floor all over the place; my game consoles messily chugged at one corner of the room with their wires all tangled up; some books and magazines stacked messily on the coffee table beside my double deck bed with a small dirty white coach which is covered with my school stuff (FYI, the mess on the table looks like a damn Leaning Tower of Pisa); the unoccupied bed above her was stacked with boxes full of her unpacked things, what must've been the kitchen, which is the first room from the entrance; has now have several stacks of beer and unwashed dishes littered practically every horizontal surface, even the small kitchen counter which was used as my dining table (I strongly emphasize the word 'was' cause damn thing is too damn full of stuff that I can't even use it as a table anymore); the last room which is connected to my bedroom is a bathroom and I don't really want to delve into that cause the nasties in there are ten times greater than what I've been listing before combined!
"Alright, alright Vanille, I'll clean later after I get some more sleep ya? Now, hand me tha' blanket so I can get more sleep before school officially starts." I said while motioning for her to give back the stupid blanket. Was I cold? Damn hell yeah I was! But instead of giving me the blanket, Vanille dropped it on the floor and pulled on her hair before shaking me awake while yelling at the top of her god forsaken lungs like a banshee. Was I annoyed? Damn hell yeah I truly am! But as it turns out so is she.
"Will you wake the fuck up Fang!" Vanile said surprising me since I rarely hear her curse like that, "You have a new roommate coming in today and judging from the very expensive luggages outside your room, she might be a damn millionaire's kid! So go clean the hell up this place up or I will personally request for you to sleep outside the dorms till you graduate from school, is that clear?"
"Gah! Stop shaking me Van! I won' be able to do anything if ya'll break me before I can do anything!" I said. Thankfully the shaking ended but she was still glaring at me. I sighed and looked at her wearily, "Ok, knowing ya, ya already know who's gonna be my roommate right? Who's the sorry lot now?"
One of the few things I picked up while spending almost my whole life is that she is a huge almost annoyingly gossiper which also led her to be the President of the renowned 'Daily Sugar and Rainbows News Club'. Please don't ask me about the weird naming sequence because I myself want to puke whenever I hear that club's name. But what surprises me is that Vanille just shrug as if SHE, Miss President of Daily Suger and Rainbows News Club famous for being the top noisiest gal in the whole school that even she knows and memorize by heart every person's bio data in the whole school that includes the instructors and students alike, doesn't knows.
"My guess is as good as yours." I only knew due to the fact that a few overly expensive baggage's are outside right beside your door with a note from the dorm leader hear saying to prepare for a new roomy." Vanille said while purchasing a small note from her back pocket. I stared at her for a moment before standing up and sighed.
"God, I hate these kinds of days. For all I know rich girl could go home in a week to her rich ass daddy crying like a baby." I started to find a plastic bag so that I can start 'cleaning' my room. Vanille just so happened to find it before me. I smiled at her, "Thanks Van, wouldn' know what to do without ya."
"I know Fang. That's why I'm goin to help you. And for the record, this place stinks."
~~~Monday Morning Fiasco~~~
Lightning's POV:
How blue the sky is. I was in the campus grounds, walking around aimlessly. To tell you the truth, I wasn't the kind of person to get lost but due to the fact that I didn't know where I am. I blame Snow, the Farron's family's stupidest bodyguard, to have forgotten to tell me where the lady's dormitories where and instead go flirting with my so called sister, Serah.
Claire Farron, that was my true name was it? Pfft, what a load of shit. I would rather be called by them as Lightning just like the kids who I grew up in an orphanage called me even if most of them are so damn annoying. I wasn't used to glamorous life style of the rich and the famous to be honest. I was raised up in an orphanage by the sea shore with a field of flowers behind the old building where the children usually play during the afternoon. I wasn't used to the overly stuffed pillows comfy beds. I wasn't used from the overly polite way of talking from the occupants of my supposedly real parents called servants (I don't even call them that and thank god my sister, Serah, sees my way too.) but they explained to me it was their job so I let it go even if it still leave me with an uncanny feeling. Due to the fact I was raise in a poor orphanage, I was a little lost with how I can use modern technology and to my embarrassment, I had to ask about them to Serah.
I sighed. I looked at my watch and noted that it was already nearing six in the morning. And I can see the students who have their club activity walking pass her though some of them look at her with either bewildered look that shouts out 'what the hell are you doing here?' and the other remaining students have that gawking look that I so want to punch right now. Stupid gawking kids, I glared at one of them and smirk as he ran with all his life's worth away from me.
But I seem to forget something…
Oh shit…
I forgot to ask for directions to who knows where the dormitories are. Serah will definitely kill—, wait scratch that, she'll tease me to death before killing me. I smacked my face as I drag myself once again to find at least stupid Snow or Serah.
A few minutes pass and I decided to go into this old vestige looking building. Can't say why but it kinda reminds me of the orphanage I was raised in. I walk along the corridor, noting that it might've been used as classrooms some years before. But what caught my attention is a plain room with a huge window that began from floor up to the ceiling. A few boxes littered one side of the room but what really caught my attention is the black dusty grand piano standing in the middle of the room.
Memories of childhood flooded my head and before I know it I was sitting before the piano with me opening it to reveal the black and white keys hidden beneath. I pause for a moment before positioning my fingers on it, marvelling at the nostalgic feeling of playing in a similar environment. I look around me, Yes, the same feeling of home.
And so I played with these feelings inside me….
~~~Monday Morning Fiasco~~~
Fang's POV 7:15 am:
I threw the last of the garbage bag inside disposal bin outside our dorm. I look at the blue sky and wonder who'll be my new roommate. It was weird enough that Vanille, biggest gossiper in the whole school, didn't know who she might be. And the fact that my roommate is a rich kid who might be a stock up kid just like one of my other past roommates scares the shit out of me.
I remembered one of my roommates, what's her name? Sophie? Selphier? Soapy? Anyways, she's as annoying as Vanille without the accent. I'm glad that my sister found a new friend and it resulted to the birth of their so called club and the fact that they made my room as their club meeting place is fine at first but as more members joined in the more I got irritated by student's I don't even know and even strangers that I don't even interact with came almost every night just for them to have a go with my beer stash got me kicking my so called Soapy roommate out of my room.
I also remembered another roommate of mine. Yuna is her name (ha! I remembered her name!). She was this serene kind of person who has a really pretty smile. The thing about her is that she either brings along her two best friends for a sleep over to the obviously cramp dormitory room already or she would bring her boyfriend with her for a make-out session. I kicked her out when they had sex on MY bed.
Another roommate of mine that I remembered (since she was the most recent one) is Tifa. She liked Tifa the best out of all her roommates since; one, Tifa is a mix martial arts addict who often invite me to her karate classes with her; two, she doesn't just invites her friends over and sabotage my things (ok, I admit I'm just a little over protected when it comes to my things.); and lastly, no boyfriend make-out sessions. But due to her family disowning her, she moved out. Never heard of her since then.
I sighed once again, wishing again for the umpteenth time that my new roommate is an easy going person.
"Oh Snow! How can you lose my sister? You know this is her first time visiting here! Oh god, what will I do if she got lost into the woods and got eaten by wolves or something nasty? Or that some rapist tries something funny with her, what if something like 'assault to a unsuspecting victim' ends up written in her records at her first day of school no less?" a girl with pink locks with a giant guy with sloppy blond hair said while walking towards the dormitories. I quirk my brow at what she said. I mean, shouldn't the rapist have the punishment not the victim? Weird.
"Serah, don't worry so much will you? Sis will be fine. And no, I don't think she'll break her promise on assaulting an innocent person." Scruffy blond guy said as he hugged the pink haired girl who obviously relax in his touch a little but not before scoffing, "Knowing Light? She'll punch anyone who looks on her way even if she made that promise."
Then pink hair girl freeze. As in effin freeze as if a blizzaga spell was flung her way. She look at the scruffy haired guy and pushed him away, "You were suppose to guide her! You were suppose to never leave her side! Or at least give her a fucking map of the school! How could you Snow? "
The girl started hitting the guy now. It was kind of funny since the girl was a smaller than the guy. I kind of chuckled at the thought. Both the girl and the boy turned to my direction and stared at me expectantly.
"Ah ya know, ya could always call her." I told them after a bit of staring. The pink haired girl blushed at me before stumbling to get her phone out, "Oh right, I uh, thanks for the suggestion."
She flip her pink phone open (heh, kinky) and dial her her supposedly sister. After a few rings later, it was finally answered which brought a smile to the pink haired girl.
"Lightning! Oh thank god, I snuck your phone inside your bag. Where are you? We were looking all over the place for you." The pink haired girl said she turned around after beaming at me, "Well excuse me for being a concerned sister! Where are you anyway? Old building?"
A long pause then…
"How in hells name did you get in there?"
Another pause started but this time it was a lot shorter than the other one.
"Pfft, I know you can walk Light. Don't go anywhere ok? Me and Snow will come and get you." Pink haired girl said. She looks at me again after she put away her phone, "Uhmm, thank you. We must be going now."
She bowed before bounding to her so called sister named Lightning.
Lightning, so that's her name. Her name. Her roommate's name.
Oh my god! I might've just known my roommate's name. Well, candidate roommate anyways. Basing it from the pink haired girl's conversation, she said something about sneaking a phone inside her bag. Doesn't that mean that her roommate doesn't want to get found out? Doesn't that mean that she's hiding something dangerous? And why in hells name is the new kid in the old building anyway? Isn't that abandoned already? Sure I usually used it as my getaway sleeping area but why would she when classes haven't even started yet?
Then it came to me. My new roommate is part of the syndicate Sanctum! Why else did the pink haired girl asked where she is and then then pause for a long time? I can only think of one reason, she was telling her sister, maybe the only one who knew about her association in the group, that she was in the old building hiding from said association. Why she was hiding? Maybe she was hurt. Maybe she was being hunted down by them because she did something wrong. I stuck with the first guess since the pink haired girl clearly scoffed at the idea that 'Lightning' can walk out of the building. Alive if even possible.
"What are you doing standing there Fang? We're not finished yet you know!" Vanille suddenly appear in front of me out of nowhere, making me jump out of my thoughts. I grab her by arms and look at her eyes.
"Uh, Fang?"
"I know who my roommate is." I said suddenly. Her eyes widened at the information.
"You do?"
"Yes, her name is Lightning and she's a criminal Vanille!"
