"Rei, up!" a voice screeched as a boy tumbled out of bed with a cry, startled by the incessant shrieking emerging from downstairs via his older sister, Mariah.
Groaning Rei wearily grabbed his coke bottle glasses grabbing a change of clothes from his closet before slipping into the shower only to find the hot water non-existent as he gave a weary sigh before plunging himself into its icy depths. Shivering he quickly washed before jumping out of the shower wrapping a towel around his waist as his teeth chattered uncontrollably drying and dressing as fast as humanly possible. His outfit consisted of a white plaid shirt with black slacks and outdated sneakers as he tied his hair back into a low ponytail, slipping his coke bottle glasses on before exiting the bathroom and traipsed down the stairs coming face to face with his elder brother Lee.
"You're gonna be late geek" his brother smirked glancing at his younger brother's outfit with a grimace.
Scowling at Lee, Rei brushed past him ignoring the twinge of hurt that manifested from his brother's mocking words, like he would ever be good enough, especially not for the boy he'd had a crush on for the past three years. Trudging into the kitchen he glanced up in time to be crushed in a bone-crushing hug as his sister attempted to squeeze the life force out of him.
"Mariah, need oxygen!" he choked out desperately trying to free himself from his sister's vice-grip. Grudgingly releasing her younger brother, Mariah handed him a plate of toast with jam as he stared down at it with hunger evident in his eyes as he greedily dug in with fervour.
"You know it still amazes me how skinny you can stay no matter how much you cram into your mouth Rei" Lee stated entering the room as Rei scowled before dropping the toast he'd been munching on, choosing instead to grab his bag and vacate the house oblivious to his brother's shrieks and yelps as he was repeatedly hit over the head with his sister's handbag for hurting their brother's feelings yet again.
Walking down the sidewalk Rei was oblivious to his surroundings until he came to a pet store a few yards down from his house. Stopping in his tracks Rei stopped to admire the kittens tumbling over each other as they pawed at the window as if they were trying to reach him. So focused on the display before him Rei was oblivious to the silent figure sneaking up on him until it was too late as a hand reached out grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around causing him to let out an undignified shriek of fright which quickly turned to rage as he glared at his best friend, Tala Ivanov. He had known Tala for the past eight years when he and his siblings had moved over from China, Tala being the first person to approach him on the school yard as some boys had been bullying him over his glasses and clothes.
"Tala!" he hissed attempting to hit his friend over the head who merely smirked in response.
"Drooling over kitties again? Or rather at a certain baddass you've had a crush on for the past three years?" he smirked as Rei merely blushed in response, ducking his head as he turned back to the display.
Taking note of Rei's slightly dishevelled appearance and almost pained look in his eyes, Tala soon came to a conclusion. "Your brother's been picking on you again hasn't he?" Tala asked changing the subject which Rei was thankful for, choosing instead to simply nod in response. Sighing Tala put his arm around his friend's slight form. "Rei, you really need to start standing up to your brother!" Tala admonished feeling Rei sigh beneath him as he leaned back into his only friend's touch, craving the comfort he was often neglected due to how he looked.
"Come on. I'm not gonna miss my make-out time with Bryan because of your little daydreams" Tala sighed dragging Rei away from the kitten's display and down the street behind him, the boy almost dropping his glasses much to the delight of his slightly hyperactive friend who had been desperately trying ever since he'd first saved Rei from those bullies, without luck mind you, to rid his friend of the 'cursed glasses' as he so rightly named.
The two continued through the narrow streets, eventually arriving at Bakuten High where a tall lavender haired male stalked towards them pulling Tala into a bruising kiss leaving Rei to shake his head slightly at their antics. As a few moments passed, Rei slowly headed inside as jealousy slowly bubbled up inside him upon seeing the love between his best friend and his boyfriend, knowing that in his current state he'd probably never have what those two shared.
Walking through the seemingly endless corridors being barged past and jostled repeatedly, Rei eventually came to his homeroom taking a seat in the very back corner in an attempt to hide from those who would constantly tease and bully him during class. Just as he slipped into his seat the bell rung signalling the start of homeroom as slowly one by one the rest of the students trickled in. Rei silently observed his classmates, taking his glasses off in order to clean them as he was unaware of the figure looming over him.
"Rei!" a voice yelled in his ear causing him to jump out of his seat in surprise as snickers sprung up around the room triggered by the astounding way Rei had managed to jump a few feet into the air in his panic, laying in a heap on the floor..
Looking up at the figure that'd moved in front of him, Rei came face to face with Bryan, boyfriend of Tala, best friend of Kai, Rei's crush for the last few years. Scowling at the familiar face Rei gingerly picked himself up sliding back into his set as he blinked away the tears of frustration that threatened to fall. Picking up the glasses he'd left on the desk Rei started gloomily at the floor ignorant of the fact that Bryan had taken the seat next to him as the rest of the class resumed their chatter.
"Heh, Tala wasn't kidding when he said you were easy to scare" Bryan mused with a slight chuckle only stopping upon seeing the depressed state his lover's friend seemed to be in.
"What's up with you?" Bryan asked warily, the look on Rei's face telling him all he needed to know as Rei muttered something under his breath.
"What?" was the intelligent reply as Bryan strained to hear the younger boy's words.
"I said you're a bastard, and that I hate my life" Rei muttered loud enough to hear slipping the glasses back on his face as golden eyes were blocked out by the bulky frames.
Okay I doubt this is really all that good not to mention Rei's kinda emo-ish but I'll really try to improve on it.
I might update only if I get at least 2 reviews, otherwise I'll just assume that no one is reading it. And no flames please, at least not until the second chapter. Constructive criticism is welcomed though.
It's a fanfiction crime to read and not review!
