Resurrection Prologue: nice to meet you

Nice wasn't sugar-coating it when he said his day wasn't going well. Even though his grades had yet to be beaten by anyone else in Facultas High, he couldn't help but feel as though there was something missing from his life. Other people seemed to constantly be smiling and laughing, but Nice felt as though he had bigger things to worry about. Things bigger than –

"-oi, Nice. Aren't her boobs so big?" Nice rolled his eyes and bit down sharply on the end of his pen. Bigger things, than, well, that. Nice's friend Birthday pursued women like an Olympic sport, and since he worked harder on wooing girls than passing classes, maybe to him it was a gold-medal worthy effort.

Birthday sat balanced precariously on the edge of his stool, kicking his flip-flopped feet outwards to hit their science table. His orange-ish blond hair was gelled stylishly up in spikes, while his retro dark blue sunglasses perched on the delicate bridge of his nose, close to slipping off.

Nice sighed. "No, Birthday, her boobs aren't that big. But hey, that's beside the point! We were meant to be conducting that hydrochloric acid experiment…thing. Could you please focus?"

Birthday chuckled. "Sorry, sorry! But wait, you're right…check out that cute thing over there!" He pointed to a far corner of their stuffy science classroom, his finger waggling in the air. Nice turned around for a quick glance, expecting some busty young girl with her cleavage popping out, but was surprised when he made eye contact with another boy. The boy was wearing a long white lab coat with a dark blazer, shirt and tie underneath. He wore an eyepatch, which created a nice contrast against his pale skin, and his dark blue hair glinted under the intensity of the light.

"Isn't he gorgeous?" Birthday sighed, watching as the boy broke eye contact and hastily scribbled down some notes on a clipboard. "Damn. He makes me want to get all freaky like."

Nice punched his friend lightly on the arm and snickered, "Alright, Romeo. Tone down the romance. More chemistry."

Birthday fluttered his eyelashes comically. "Clipboard boy and I have chemistry."

"Birthday!"

"When he looked at me, I felt electricity fly through the air…"

"He was looking at me!"

"Who gives a fuck?"

Nice laughed. He did focus more on his studies than anyone else, sure – but he just wanted to know what it was like to be Birthday. Birthday always seemed to be happy, flirtatious and lucky – and Nice just longed to wake up one morning and feel the same way.

"I have my electric guitar lessons after school," Birthday groaned, bringing his head to rest on Nice's shoulder.

"So?" Nice poured hydrochloric acid into a beaker.

"So, I won't be able to make that delivery to that girl, Koneko. I need to drop off the file for our presentation in Modern World History, and it's due tomorrow."

Nice hummed in response, and Birthday took it as a sign to continue. "I need you to do it for me."

Nice flashed his friend a blindingly white grin. "Let me think. No."

Birthday winced. "You're cruel."

"So are you. You can't expect me to give up my study time just to deliver a file to some girl I don't even know."

"I will reward you handsomely."

"You barely have enough money for the bus fare home."

"Yeah, but I have, like, tons of lint in my pocket if you want. And a raw egg."

"A raw egg?" Nice began to choke, but stopped himself quickly as tears sprang to his eyes. "Why the hell do you have a raw egg? Think about the bacteria on that thing!"

Birthday shook his head stubbornly, reached into his pocket, and began to take the egg out. Nice heard a loud crunch and gave his friend the filthiest look he could muster.

Birthday laughed and smiled sheepishly, holding up a hand sticky with yellow yolk. "Whoops."

Nice threw a stack of paper towels at him.

Thank you so much for reading the prologue to my new fanfic, Resurrection! I know that the title may seem a little weird for this chapter, but I just wanted to introduce you to the way that Nice thinks in my fanfiction, and also I wanted to shed some light on his school life.

Pairings I will have will be: NicexArt, and BirthdayxRatio. I will have the first chapter up soon, just so you know!
