And I'm back. The second chapter is finished and ready to go.^^ Well, I think I shouldn't talk so much. Oh yes! For those who didn't understood about the difference between classes and rooms: class is which year you are in. First year are class 1, year 2 are class 2 and so on. Rooms are which smaller 'classes' you are in. Because of the number of students maybe are high, you have more 'rooms' for all of them. In this story, I have 11 rooms in each class. And if you write it short, you say room and 'the number of class + number of room'. So class 2, room 11 is written 'room 2-11'. Hopefully, everyone understands now. If you don't, I'm sorry. I'm not good at explaining with words.
One year later
Loud. That was all Edward could describe his class as. Very, LOUD! But, who could blame them? Every student was more of an idiot than the other, but that was typical for them. The loudest and and the one with the most energy, that was class 2-11. Right now he tried not to be hit by any air planes that Envy and Roy send back and forth.
"Can you at least try not to hit anyone who is studying?!" Someone in the back of the room yelled.
"Ah, but you guys are so boring! Try and have some fun" Envy said back to him.
Edward just sighed. He couldn't believe that it had been a year since he found out about all this.
Flashback end of year one:
"But I still don't get it, Envy" an annoyed Edward said. "Why didn't Mr. Bradley told you that we were going to the same school?"
"As I've heard, your father told him that he planned on sending you here, so they decided to send me here as well, but wanted it to be a surprise. But I wouldn't be surprised if it only was for keeping an eye on me..." Envy said as he thought back on the last few months.
"But why keep it a secret? I would been more than happy to hear that we were going to the same school"
"I don't know..."
"... Well, it doesn't matter now" Edward said as he walked up beside Envy. "I'm just glad that we can be together"
"Oh, how romantic of you~" Envy said teasing and gave him a kiss on his forehead.
End of flashback
It had been a huge shock at first, but he was very happy that he got to spend all this final time in school with Envy.
Suddenly the room went quiet. Edward rose his head and came face to face with Mr. Bradley.
"So, Edward... How has things been in here while I was away?" He asked. Even if he looked kind and wise, if you knew him you could hear the icy tone in the back of his throat. So it wasn't unnatural for everyone to tense up. Even Edward.
"Everything has been good in here" He said quickly and turned his face down.
"Good. As for everyone else!" He said and rose his voice so everyone could hear him. Everyone stopped with what they where doing and looked at him.
"As you may know, next week we have our traditional physical check-up. That means that all classes are cancelled but NO ONE is skipping the check-up. Understood?" Everyone nodded.
'Great, physical check-up. Why was that even needed?' Edward thought. As if not everyone already knew, now he had to hear his height called out loud, and that wasn't funny! He hated begin called short in front of others.
"As for cleaning duty..." Mr. Bradley suddenly said. "We got a new list from downstairs, and today we have... Envy and Edward for the classroom cleaning" He said.
"What?! No way!" Envy screamed out. Everyone looked at him and laughed. They knew how much he hated cleaning. But they all got quiet as Mr. Bradley gave them the 'evil eye'.
After class:
"Maann, why did it have to be us? I can't stand cleaning!" Envy complained.
"Think like this: the faster we get done, the faster we will be out of here" Edward said in a calm voice.
"True"
"Then where do we start?"
"What about me taking this half of the room and you take that half?" Envy said while pointing with his finger.
"Sure"
There wasn't that much cleaning. Just sweeping the floor and dusting the shelfs and tables. But because Edward was so small, he couldn't reach everywhere. And at one shelf he manages to grab one box... but ended falling down with it coming down over him.
"Ah! Ough!"
"Shit! Edward, are you okay?!" Envy said and ran up to him.
"Yeah... More or less" He said.
"What the heck was in that box? It was really heavy and hit hard"
The said box now lay just beside him; stuff from inside now laying all around the floor.
"Oh, no Ed! Look what you've done. Now we have more to do" Envy said.
"Shut up!" Edward said back. HE tried to sit up, but was interrupted by a small pain in his right arm. He looked down on it and found a small spot on the lower half where it had started to turn light blue.
"Oh, great. Now I got a bruise as well. Oh well, it wasn't that hard. So I guess it isn't going to be big"
"Hey, aren't these school albums?" Envy suddenly said. Edward turned around and looked at the book Envy was holding.
"Your right! Maybe from earlier classes? What year is it?"
"This one is from two years ago, but some over there are from forty years ago"
"Weren't our parent's in our age at that time?"
"Yes, they were..."
They both sat quiet for a long time. Then Edward looked up at Envy.
"One little peek wouldn't hurt right?" Envy smirked.
"Bring one over here" Edward stood up and took up one album. He sat down beside Envy and opened the album. They directly landed on room 1-03 from forty years ago. They looked at all the boys from each room, how they looked, commented about weird faces and who they looked like. Soon they skipped forward to room 2-11. And...
"Hey, doesn't that guy looks like your dad?" Envy said and pointed at a boy with long blond hair in a ponytail and yellow eyes. At least they looked yellow.
"It is him! Man, did he really look THAT young?" Edward said.
"Now we know what everyone is talking about. You really look a lot alike. I mean, look at his face!" Envy said and put the album right in front of Edward's face.
"Yes, yes! I get it! Well yeah, we do have some stuff in common" he said.
"Haha! Well, you have A LOT in common. Shall we look at the other rooms from the same class?"
"Let see.. What about class-" Edward said and flipped some pages. "Room 2-03?"
"That is the same room as Willy and Ryan right?"
"Yes it is" Edward said and showed Envy the photo. But after a while… "What the heck?!"
"What is it Ed?"
"Look at this boy in the middle" He said and pointed at a boy in the middle row. It was a boy in the same uniform as he and Envy, with black long hair in a ponytail. But his face… was blurred and impossible to see. It was like someone had dripped water on it and messed around with a finger on it. It was only him, though. Everyone else, even those beside him, where untouched.
"That's strange. Maybe the camera broke? Or something happened while developing?" Envy said.
"It shouldn't be that. If it was the camera, the whole picture would be like this. Or if it was while developing it should be a larger area, not just one small spot" Edward said. "Look at the people beside him" Envy knew what he was talking about.
"Yes. It is strange. Maybe someone didn't like this guy and wanted to erase his face from the class photo"
"Yeah, maybe…" He didn't say anything more. Because suddenly felt the sore pain in his right arm again. But he hadn't moved his arm an inch! So why did it start to hurt now?!
"Ed, are you okay?" Envy suddenly said, almost startling Edward from his thoughts.
"Yes, I'm fine. Why did you ask?"
"It looked like you had hurt yourself somewhere"
"I did? Sorry, didn't mean to scare you"
"It's fine. Huh? Look! There are names under the photo"
"Were they there before?"
"We maybe didn't pay attention to them. Let's see, the name of the boy with the blurred face is… Ling Yao, room 2-03"
"Ling? Like they are named in the east?"
"Perhaps"
"I think the boy on his left looks a bit like him. I mean, sure he has short spiky hari and are a bit taller but I still think that they have some things in common"
"Maybe. And his name is… Greed Homuculi"
"Homo-what?"
"Homuculi" Then Envy suddenly froze.
"Wait, isn't your last name Homuculi? Envy Homuculi?" Edward said, knowing exactly what the other had on it's mind.
"Yes, it is…"
"Creepy! Then he must be any relative of yours right?!"
"Well, it is from forty years ago. An uncle maybe. Mother once did tell me that she had a brother. But I think he died quite young" Envy said.
"Maybe that's him?" Edward said and pointed at the boy in the picture.
"If it is, I'll be freaking out once I find out" Envy said and laughed.
Edward laughed too after a while, but stopped after a while.
"No, let's finish up so we can go home. I don't want to be locked out because I get a little late again" Envy said and stood up.
"Okay" Edward said and took one last look at the photo. They all looked so calm and mature, the opposite of his current class. But he couldn't stop thinking about why this Ling had his face blurred like this. He touched the spot which was blurred, like he had to feel it to understand.
Suddenly, he had small flashes of a boy lying face down on the ground outside the school, blood covering the ground. It was impossible to see his face, his hair covering it entirely. The strong smell of blood, mixed with mud and the smell of nature filled his sense and made him fell like he was there. Like this was some kind of memory.
But he was interrupted in his super-natural experience by someone shaking his shoulders.
"Ed? Ed! Are you okay?" Envy said. His boyfriend had started to space out, and after a while his skin become pale. Edward woke up and looked at him.
"You scared the shit out of me! What happened? You just stopped talking and spaced out. Look, even your skin rivals my normal skin tone" Envy said and looked down at their now joined hands. Edward also looked down and saw what he meant.
"I did? Sorry, I didn't meant to. I'm not even sure how I did it"
"Have you slept well?"
"Probably not" Edward said and tried to laugh it away. Envy didn't buy it, but would let it go for now. He just wanted to get out of this God's forsaken place!
"Come on. You can take the part that is left of the floor while I put this up again" Edward, who didn't want to space out like that again, just nodded and started to clean again. The bruise had started to ache again, but he would tell Envy. It was just a little bruise, he thought. It will go away soon, anyway.
Annnddd… FINISHED! My GOD that was a long one! I usually just write about two or three pages. This ended up on five! But I just couldn't make it shorter. It didn't felt right, someone out there who writes should know what I am talking about^^
Anyway, that was chapter two done. Hopefully I will post up chapter three soon. And this is a horror story, so there will be horror soon. Remember the flashes *points at you (the reader)*
So for further posting, please review, follow or favorite this story. And I won't split this one. It will be one long story. Bye!
