Author: thank you very much for reviewing the first chapter, I was so happy to see that you liked it! ^^
Here's the second part, I hope you enjoy it as well! ^^
Part 2
Zexion turned off the phone and threw it on the bed, annoyed.
A certain someone (his brother for sure) gave Demyx his number and now that stupid guy was writing him a message every two seconds. And, on top of that, asking him to meet up.
"Why should I?!" he hissed, glancing at the phone for the last time
Then, he sighed and started typing on his computer's keyboard.
He had lots of online friends, even though he had none in real life. He had always been really shy, so making friends for him was too hard, because he never knew what to say and always ended up feeling stupid or being mocked. Online friends were different: not knowing them, he was able to talk freely. Not seeing them face-to-face helped, too.
His nickname was "Cloacked Schemer", he invented it when he was younger and found it pretty cool. While he was looking for someone to chat with, he heard a soft bip coming from the computer. Zexion showed to the screen one of his rare smiles: his friend Aqua was writing to him.
He didn't know her real name, Aqua was the nickname, but she was a really kind girl, always giving him advice and cheering him up.
Blue_Aqua: hi! You there?
Cloacked_schemer: hi! Yup, have time to talk?
Blue_Aqua: of course! ^w^
Cloacked_schemer: yesterday at a party I met an annoying guy! .
Blue_Aqua: really? O.O
Cloacked_schemer: and my bro gave him my phone number! He's tormenting me!
Blue_Aqua: omg, a stalker? What does he want?!
Cloacked_schemer:...
Cloacked_schemer: to go out with me (?)
Blue_Aqua: ?
Blue_Aqua: you're a guy, right?
Cloacked_schemer: damn right!
Blue_Aqua: and he wants to go out with you? as friends?
Cloacked_schemer: think so...but I'm not good at making friends
Cloacked_schemer: and I don't like him!
Blue_Aqua: why not?
Cloacked_schemer: he talks too much, is annoying, and is a fake otaku .
Blue_Aqua: I see...
A knocking sound brought Zexion back to reality.
"Yes?" he asked, staring at the door
"It's me." Xaldin's voice replied "Can we talk for a bit?"
He thought he knew what his brother wanted to talk about. And that made him sigh deeply.
"Ok, come in." said, still typing
Cloacked_schemer: sorry, got to go
Blue_Aqua: ok, see you ^w^
Xaldin opened the door and sat on his younger brother's bed. He was smiling nervously.
"So, how was the party?"
Zexion started to think about the best way to say it, without sounding offensive.
"It sucked?" Xaldin suggested
"Mmm...yes, if truth be told." agreed, nodding
Xaldin sighed and started to play with his dreadlocks
"What about Demyx?"
Hearing his name, Zexion glanced at his brother. He knew that Xaldin only wanted to help him finding some friends in flesh and blood, but Demyx was out of question.
"A-n-n-o-y-i-n-g!" he hissed
"But, you know, his sister Larxene told me that he's feeling down lately and maybe we could help him...he thinks you're interesting, won't you try hanging out with him?"
Zexion showed him a disgusted expression, while feeling a shiver running down his spine because of what Demyx said about him.
"No way in hell." he answered, shaking his head
"Ok, ok..." Xaldin sighed again, before walking away
While thinking about that conversation, Zexion heard another bip sound.
There was someone new in his manga site. Interesting: he could chat with him/her to get that annoying Demyx out of his head, where he was stuck since the evening of the party.
Melodious3nocturne: hi everyone! I'm new here, can you help me? ^w^
Cloacked_schemer: hi! What do you need?
Melodious3nocturne: to know more about manga! ^w^
Cloacked_schemer: want some good manga titles?
Melodious3nocturne: yay, thanks!
Cloacked_schemer: some shojo manga or shounen?
Melodious3nocturne: ?
Melodious3nocturne: sorry, I'm a beginner /
Cloacked_schemer: manga for girls or for boys? ^_^
Melodious3nocturne: I'm a guy! ^w^
Zexion stared at the message, chuckling. He would have swore that "Melodious3nocturne" was a girl! What was with the heart symbol?* He laughed again: at least the newbie was funny.
Then he started to list some of his favourite mangas.
Melodious3nocturne: wooow, there's lots *_* so happy I asked you!
Cloacked_schemer: no problem ^_^
Melodious3nocturne: when did you start reading them?
Cloacked_schemer: 'bout 5 years ago...
Melodious3nocturne: wooooow! And why? ^w^
Cloacked_schemer:...
Cloacked_schemer: because I wanted friends
Melodious3nocturne: really?! Me toooooo!
Zexion sighed. There were a lot of people like him on the net. It was heart-warming to find that you were not the only one. He could understand that boy.
Melodious3nocturne: you know, I've been let down by my friends recently...
Cloacked_schemer: really? Why?
Melodious3nocturne: cause I'm rich, I guess...?
Cloacked_schemer: ?
Cloacked_schemer: I don't get what you mean...aren't you lucky to be rich?
Melodious3nocturne: no way in hell! yesterday I heard my friends say that they hung out with me only cause I always paid for them! _
He paused for a moment, incredulous. He always thought that rich guys were all happy to be rich and to boast about it. Like Demyx, that seemed the shallow rich brat stereotype.
Cloacked_schemer: they were bastards
Cloacked_schemer: you'd better forget them, or beat them up if you like
Melodious3nocturne: ahah, you're so cruel! Thanks for cheering me up ^w^
Melodious3nocturne: but I'm afraid I'll never trust a friend again
Cloacked_schemer: well, I'm not good at making friends, so I don't think I can help you...
Melodious3nocturne: don't be modest, you seem a nice guy, you must have some friends
Cloacked_schemer: thank you
Cloacked_schemer: but I'm not like this in real life
Melodious3nocturne: bet you're only shy ^w^
Melodious3nocturne: we should both try to open up to the others! ^w^
Melodious3nocturne: ooops, my sis's calling me, got to go! Thanks for everything! ^w^
Cloacked_schemer: see you ^_^
Zexion switched the computer off. Maybe that newbie was right, he only needed to open up...but after eighteen years of loneliness, it's not thatI feel bad for Demyx in this chapter easy!
"I must try." he whispered
This time he was determined, he promised to himself that he'd try to make at least one friend.
I feel bad for Demyx in this chapter...*ps, I put an heart symbol between melodious and nocturne, if all you see is a 3, please, just imagine it!
I'll publish next part soon, thanks again for reviewing! ^^
