A thundering yell ripped through the morning air, "NATSU, TIME TO WAKE UP" Igneel screamed knowing full well his son didn't have the responsibility to wake himself up.
Natsu hissed and forced his eyes open glaring over at his digital clock, "It's 5:45 in the morning dad!"
"And school starts at around seven and you have about a 30 minute walk, I would advise you to get up and get ready." Igneel retorted having made his way to Natsu's doorway. Natsu rolled off his bed forcing his blue, yes blue, cat, Happy, to leap off and scramble for safety.
"Yeah, Yeah whatever." He grumbled, snagging some clothes from his closet and shuffling into the bathroom.
First day of senior year huh? Cool, I guess. Yawning he pulled on some jeans, a tank top and his usual sleeveless vest, it wasn't particularly 'dress code' but the school had long since learned not to bother him about it. Natsu brushed his teeth and glanced into the mirror My hair is salmon, not pink. In case you were wondering, Natsu did in fact repeat this to himself everyday.
Igneel was sitting at the kitchen table, his eyes swiftly scanning the morning paper. "Looks like Tartaros Inc. Has been going downhill lately"
Natsu snorted as he walked in, backpack slung over his shoulder, "I wouldn't mind, I hate the man that runs it AND the way he runs his company."
Igneel simply nodded, "Looks like they've realized their own faults too, they're launching some initiative called E.N.D."
Natsu scrunched up his eyebrows, "I wonder what that's all about, I guess I'll be heading out now." Igneel launched a bag of poptarts at him that he grabbed out of the air with his remaining hand . Natsu slipped on his sandals Because who the hell needs actual shoes, as I always say. and walked out of the house starting on his way to school scowling at the fact that he didn't have a car.
Wendy, being the preppy girl she's always been and due to an overload of excitement for her first day of high school, was already awake and ready. Having nothing else to do she sat down and clicked on the television.
"E.N.D initiative? I wonder what that is?" She watched the screen intently while she stroked her pure white cat, and she really meant pure white. She'd almost lost the poor thing in the snow multiple times.
Wendy was startled out of her trance when her mother's voice sounded from the kitchen, "Wendy I'm leaving for work, be careful!"
"Okay mom I will, bye!" Wendy replied, hearing the door open and shut shortly after. Wendy stood up and grabbed her bag, "I guess I should head out too, bye-bye Carla!" Wendy smiled at her cat getting a meow in reply. Wendy happily skipped out the door and down the street, eager for the first day of school.
Cobra awoke to a backhand roughly connecting with the side of his head.
"Get up bastard, you need to get ready for your stupid school" Cobra rolled over and glared up at his foster father Brain. That's what they called him because he didn't like to use real names, he didn't want to feel connected to any of us useless children.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Brain glared back at him with malice as Cobra trudged out of his room, everyone except Midnight's room, actually.
He was going to be attending Magnolia High for his senior year of high school. After being expelled from Oracion Seis High School the last day of school the year before, "It was a non-lethal dose of poison, and the teacher was an asshole!" He had tried to reason, as you can tell it hadn't worked.
Cobra slipped on his sneakers whose soles were falling off, a pair of ripped jeans he hadn't bought them that way and a black T-shirt. He would've brushed his teeth but Brain says toothbrushes and toothpaste are unnecessary and we'll live without them. Cobra walked past the bathroom, scowling to see Midnight, Brain's actual son who's name was actually Macbeth but we weren't good enough to call him that, brushing his teeth. Of course Midnight was the only one that was properly cared for. Midnight got a toothbrush, Midnight got nice shoes, Midnight got to go to the fancy school. Cobra hated him, and what did Midnight do when he walked past, the little bitch smirked. Cobra just growled and kept walking and stalked out the door. Of course he didn't eat breakfast why would Brain want to feed him. Hopefully, just maybe, this year wouldn't be that bad.
Rogue groaned as the screech of his alarm clock had started and frantically searched for the snooze button, he resorted to simply ripping the plug out of the wall, his search uneventful. He rose to a sitting position on his couch and stared off into the darkness for a few minutes trying to escape the holds of sleep. He snapped out of it when he heard a soft 'mew' echo from beside him, he turned his head and smiled at his green cat, Frosch. Green, a cat? You may ask, well that's not even the weirdest part of it. His cat also happened to walk around wearing a pink frog suit, and would constantly mewl at you if you took it off, not stopping until it's returned.
"Hey Frosch, good morning." Rogue said scratching her head as he groggily stood up and bumbled into the bathroom. He decided to wear a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt, brushed his teeth and brushed his hair, trying and inevitably failing to keep it out of his eye.
Deciding to eat breakfast at school, Rogue walked out of his apartment, got in his black Cadillac, a gift from his dad, and drove off.
Gajeel awoke much the same as Natsu did, except Igneel's choice of words and tone weren't as, ah, unruly, "GAJEEL GET THE FUCK UP, TIME FOR SCHOOL"
Gajeel's response was none the kinder, "HOLD ON A MINUTE YA SCRAP IRON BASTARD." A name he saw fit for his father since Metalicana had worked as an actual blacksmith making items out of iron since Gajeel was little.
"WHAT WAS THAT?! YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH BOY!" Metalicana shouted decidedly ending the quarrel.
"Hypocritical bastard"Gajeel muttered under his breath. Despite what altercations like these may tell you, they really did have a very good father-son relationship.
Gajeel pet his black pet cat Pantherlily, a stray that they had picked up years whom had a crescent shaped scar beside one eye. He then proceeded to stand up and walk out of the room. He put on his jeans and his favorite black Metallica shirt. Gajeel brushed his teeth and walked out of the bathroom making sure to grab his precious headband that was given to him by a dear friend. Gajeel sat down at the kitchen table and piled his plate down with the breakfast food his father had made
"Excited for the first day of your senior year ,brat?" Metalicana questioned jokingly.
"What do you think?" Gajeel replied unintentionally spewing bits of egg from his mouth.
"There's a first time for everything."
Gajeel snorted and walked outside uttering his farewell, "Seeya." Then slammed the door shut, hopped on his motorcycle, revved the engine and zoomed off.
Down a desolate road barred from any activity that morning sprinted a young man by the name of Sting Eucliffe, who was already 7 minutes late for school, "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!"
Well that's it for today guys, thanks for reading. By the way I don't hate Midnight, he's just not a main character in this story and it adds for character development. I do however, hate Brain. Also this chapter has just been rewritten and I'll be working on chapter two this week.
