--------------------CHAPTER 2--------------------
"CHIT CHAT!"
---------------------------------------------------------

   "We're here!"

   Hikaru looked around as she and Lantis reached the school gate She looked a bit pale. "Are you scared?" Lantis was shocked as the question escaped his lips. He doesn't know her well but he had this funny urge to protect her. There's something about her that drew her to him; almost chemistry. Hikaru nodded to his question. "I'm kinda nervous you know, meeting new friends and all."

   "You don't have to be afraid. Everyone here is quite nice. Well, by exception of a few students."

   "I know. You're one of the good guys."

   He nearly blushed at her words. 'God, why do I have this weird feeling in my stomach?'

   "L-A-N-T-I-S!!!"

   A sudden shout drew both their attention to the gate. They turned around to see a creamy head guy stopping in a screeching halt in front of them. As soon as his eyes fell on Hikaru, his eyes widened in shock. Lantis also noticed an uneasy frown on Hikaru's face.

   "Y..YOU--????" Eagle and Hikaru yelled in unison, pointing index fingers to each other. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Eagle said, almost in a scream. Hikaru narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. "What does it look like I'm doing? Having fun?"

   "I thought you were back there in Tokyo! What are you doing in Ray City?"

   "Excuse me. I came here and stayed at your house last night. Your mom said you were sleeping over at your friend's house. Didn't I send you a letter saying I'll be here last month? My family moved to London but I' staying here so Okaa-san said it's better for me to live here. Honestly didn't you read?"

   Eagle stepped back and clutched his head in disbelief, a look of disgust on his face. "I thought it was a prank! You mean, I'd have to put up with you?? Damn, what the world has come to?!!"

   Lantis, by the mean time, was totally lost with the conversation Eagle and Hikaru were having. "I don't mean to interrupt but… Do you guys know each other?" He asked out of curiosity. With a sigh, Eagle shot a sharp glare to Hikaru. "For your information, Lantis, this girl here is my cousin." Lantis felt as if he had been struck by a lightning.

   "Y—Your what?!"

   "My cousin. What are you? Hard of hearing?"

   "But you never told me that you…"

   DING! DONG! DANG! DING!

   Finally realizing something, Eagle glanced at his watch. "Oh, shit! Yuki must be really mad at me now!! Damn it, Hikaru. You always bring me bad luck!" With a final glare, Eagle made a mad dash into the building to the rooftop as if his life depends on it. Hikaru couldn't help but sweatdropped. "That guy is a mess!" She hissed.

   Lantis, however, was still completely lost. "Are you Eagle's cousin?"

   "Yup! My mom is a Vision, his father's little sister. Geez, I can't believe I'd be stuck living under the same roof with that jerk. Well, I suppose the 'friend' his mom told me about was you, right?"

   "True."

   "Then I assume that you're his best friend. Is that right?" He nodded. "Honestly?? My, you guys are so different! Like the land and the sky!"

   "Eagle doesn't make a half bad of a friend."

   "That's your say."

   Lantis had a hard time keeping his no-emotion face from bursting out laughing. 'Relax, keep your cool,' his practical side reminded him. "The bell already rang. I supposed we'd better get in."

   "Anou… I still don't know this place. Would you mind showing me where the office is?"

   "Of course not. This way, please."

   "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

   "Yuki! Yuki! I'm so sorry!!"

   "I'm not talking to you. Didn't you hear the bell? I'm heading to class."

   "But Yuki, I- -"

   "Shut up, you're invisible to me now. Huh!"

   Eagle sigh. "Whatever~"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

   "Ojos de tigresa que te tiran a matar. Una diosa viviente duele saber que con otro esta, mio fue su corazon…"

   "Shut the hell up, Clef Gray you purple devil!" Umi yelled into Clef's ears angrily. She hated having to sit beside the lavender haired guy. Clef just flashed her a sly grin and continued with another song.

   "I wonder how, I wonder why… Yesterday you told me 'bout the BLUE, BLUE sky…"

   "By the love of God, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!"

   Clef ignored her, changing into another song and began singing at the top of hiss voice as Umi started throwing him stuffs. "WHY YOU HAVE TO GO AND MAKE THINGS SO COMPLICATED? I SEE THE WAY YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU'RE SOMEBODY ELSE GETS ME FRUSTRATED. LIFE'S LIKE THIS Y—"

   WHACK!!!

   "Ow!!" Clef rubbed his head as someone smacked him on his head. He quickly stood up, thinking it was Ferio. "Who do you think you are to hit me like that?!"  As soon as the words escaped his mouth, he mentally berated himself. It wasn't Ferio but… "M..Miss..Miss Presea. Good morning… Heh, heh, heh…" He stuttered. Miss Presea was their English teacher, known throughout the school for her short-temper. "I was calling your name for three times and what were you doing?"

   "I… I was singing, Ma'am."

   "Oh, singing! Is this a music class?"

   "N- No, Ma'am."

   "Good. Now I want you to stand out of this class and sing until your throat gets sore. Out, NOW!"

   "Y-Yes, Ma'am…" Clef felt a strong rage surged through his body as he caught Umi grinning like an idiot at him. 'Just you wait, Miss I-Think-I'm-Pretty!!!'
