Just so you know I am so, eager to get into the later chapters

And I changed my mind, Hope will have a perspective in the later chapters

Oh and I forgot to put that Lightning and Hope are 18 and Serah is 13

And in the later chapters something is going to happen with Lightning and Serah*wink wink.

I put later chapters too much.


The guy standing before probably thinks I'm a bitch because I smart mouthed him when he spilled that retarded drink on me. I didn't even care about it, I was just in a bad mood. Maybe this is a good time to say sorry? Nah, he can take it like a man.

"So I expect for these projects to be returned back to school in 2 months on April 3. If you turn it in early I will not accept it. There is only a few minutes until this period is over so I recommend you get to know your partner. Dismissed."

"Wait a second Mrs. Amina, why do we need to turn it in 2 months?" Lebreau asks.

"Well don't you want your 2 month school vacation?"

"2 month school vacation!? Did anyone know about this?" Everyone (including me and Hope) nods their heads. "So then with that said, there is a party at my house on March 1. Everybody in this class is invited." Everybody cheers.

I look back at the boy looking uneasy at me. Hmm, if I were a terrible a person, I would get Hope to do the project by himself and I would get half the credit. He sure is lucky I have some heart within me. But, I do have something planned for him. "So Lightning-"

"I'm not in the mood for discussion at the moment. But come to my house 5:00 sharp, I'll write you the address." I pull a sheet of paper and a red ink pen out of my binder and write 'Golan Lane 5205'. "I live right around the block from there." The bell rings meaning school is over.

"Then you shouldn't be late. See you in 2 hours then." I walk out of the classroom leaving Hope.

When I make it outside to my motorcycle, I hop on and start the engine. I'm about to take off but a cry for help stops me dead in my tracks. . I hop off my bike and run towards the sound of the scream. When I make it to the screamer, I see a 3 boys and Fang and Vanille. One guy is holding Vanille while she is screaming. And the other two are kicking Fang as she is lying on the ground in pain.

I can't just sit here and let this happen. So I walk over and say,"What the hell do you shitheads think you're doing? Beating on girls, shame on you assholes." I taunt. The guy holding Vanille, pushes her on the ground as and runs at me with his fist. I move my head to the side and jab my knee in his stomach. He falls to the ground with his hand cupping his tummy.

"Is that all you got? Jeez, you're pathetic. Are you other bitches coming or not?" This infuriates them. They leave Fang's body and run towards me. I knock one out with a massive kick to the stomach. If I hadn't been so cocky, I would've seen the the other asshole come at me with a knife. Luckily, I move enough for him to do a small slash on my cheek. I throw a vicious punch to his jaw. He falls to the ground like the other two.

"If either of you guys touch them again, I'll blind you." I say coldly. I help Vanille and Fang get on their feet. "Fang, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just a little bruised but I'll be fine."

"Are you okay, Vanille?"

"I didn't get hit just Fang."

I'm just glad that they didn't get killed. Wait a second..."How are you guys getting home?"

"We're going to walk."

Walk? They can't walk in the condition Fang is in. "How about you guys ride on my motorcycle."

"We're fine." Fang scowls at me. I guess she is still mad at me about the whole gym thing. "Suit yourself." I say with a wave with my hand. I feel a little bit of blood trickle from my face. I just wipe it off and drive away.

...

When I make it to my house, I see Hope siting on my porch steps I look at my watch and see its only 4:26. "You're here early I see."

"What? Oh uh, yeah. I saw that you weren't home yet so I just waited." He eyed me for a minute, then his eyes meet my bloody cheek.

"What the hell happened to your cheek?"

"Got into a fight and someone cut it. No big deal."

"Ok as long as you're not hurt."

"And why would that matter to you exactly?"

"It's just... I don't know."

"Whatever, lets get inside so I can patch this up before bleed to death." I tease.

We walk inside and the house is a disaster."Serah Farron!" I see Serah prance down the stairs. "Hey Light." she gives me a big hug. I don't hug back. she looks up at me with sad eyes. "Serah, what happened to the house?"

"Oh um about that, I kinda invited some friends over."

"And are they still here?"

"No, they left not too long ago."

"Since you and your friends made this mess, you get to clean it up."

"But Light-"

"Now!" More blood starts to trickle from my face.

"Lightning what happened to your face?"

"Ugh, I got in a fight."

"But Light you promised."

"It was to save two girls lives. Now get to cleaning. If you need me, Hope and I will be in my room."

She raises a brow. "We will be doing a science project."

We walk up to my room. I open the door and we walk in. Hope gets wide-eyed when he sees my room. It has baby blue walls and regular white carpet. My bed has white sheets and a black blanket and 3 tan pillows. "I guess you were expecting more of a girly appearance huh."

"Yeah." I walk over to my bed and pull my laptop from under the pillow and sit down. Hope does the same.

"Uh, no." I point to the floor. Hope looks at me with puzzled face. "No boys allowed on the bed. Park it on the floor mister." He sighs heavily, but sits on the floor anyway. "Ok uh Lightning, don't get the wrong idea but, can we get to know each other first. You know since we didn't get do it at school?"

"Ok, you go first."

"Well my name is Hope Estheim, I am 18, I am the only child. My mom is dead and my Dad isn't very nice so I moved out."

"Hmm. My name is Lightning Claire Farron, I am also 18, and as you see I have only 1 sister. Both of my parents are dead so me and Serah are pretty much the only Farron's we know so, we only have each other to rely on." It is silent for a while. "So Lightning, are going to Lebreau's party on March 1?"

"I don't know maybe. Why, are you going?"

"Yeah."

An amazing idea pops in my head. "I will be right back." I walk out the room with a devilish smirk. When I make it down stairs, I see Serah sleeping on the couch with a duster. I leave her there not wanting to disturb her. I go to the cabinet and grab a long cup fill it up with water. I go back upstairs to my room. "Hey Hope come here I have a surprise for you."

He walks up to me with a smile on his face. I pull the water from behind my back and pour it all over his silver hair. "What the hell was that for?!"

"That is revenge for the first time we met."

Take that you sucker.

...
