The Babe of the School Chapter 10: Oh Great Divine One, Please Kill Me
The only thought that is circulating through my mind at the moment is 'ugh'. That simple grunting sound is enough to describe the feeling that coursed throughout my entire being. Oh God please kill me now.
"How are you feeling honey?" My mom's voice sounds from the frame of me and my sisters door. I open my eyes and glance at her before responding.
"Ugh." What better way to answer then with how my whole body is feeling right?
"Can you be a little more specific?" She's standing at my bedside now. I don't care what she wants, I'm not taking any medication damnit!
"Ow." I try again, not really wanting to speak more then a couple words.
"Can you use complete sentences, dear?" Mother asks as she begins to stroke my forehead. Is she trying to hurt me?
"I'd Rather not." I reply, closing my eyes again. I just want to go back to sleep.
"I just want to make sure your okay." I bet she's giving me that sympathetic motherly smile of her's right about now. "Do you need anything?"
Hmm what could I possibly need? oh yeah that's right.
"Sleep."
"It's already noon, dear." I can hear her chuckling lightly. Come on mom just let me sleep this off.
"Yeah but I'd rather get as much in as possible before Serah and Vanille get back here." I groaned, opening my eyes once more to gaze up into my mothers emerald orbs. "And what can I really do anyway? I'm crippled!" I cried and instantly winced as my body flared up in pain once again. Well I guess moving is out of the equation.
"Hmm I suppose your right." Mom says, she kisses my forehead before exiting the room. "Have a good sleep." She says before leaving.
"Night." I reply although it's the middle of the day. So you probably wanting me to explain how I ended up in this position right? Fine I'll explain, but I'm missing out on precious sleep to explain this I'll have you know. Anyways it all happened in gym class, we were playing Pickleball. You know the game that's like tennis for little people. In short I got too competitive and jumped up into the air to hit the ball and I kinda landed on the net and fell onto the floor. Yeah I know what your thinking, no big deal right? it would be true if it wasn't a hard-freakin-wood basketball floor and if the net wasn't put up so high. And after that we went to the hospital and got x-rays which showed that I cracked a few ribs on my left side, I know what your thinking and yes it is a bitch. My back also hurts on the left side and every time I stand for too long it feels like I have a heart problem. And that my friends, is why I want God to kill me now.
Yup that was yesterday in a nutshell. Normally I would be all "yeah no school!" but I'd rather be there then in pain like I am now. I'm not helping myself though since I refuse to take medication, I don't "do" pills. I'll catch you guys later, if you don't mind I think I'll get some sleep now.
"Light." I feel someone nudging my right shoulder accompanied by Serah's voice. I sigh, why do all good things have to come to an end? and by good things I mean my sleep.
"What?" I ask not bothering to open my eyes.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, the worry evident in her voice. I'll give her the same answer I gave mom.
"Ugh."
"Why are you 'ugh?'" Serah asks and to this I open my eyes to give her a light glare.
"Because you woke me up." She winces lightly as I say this. "What time is it?" I ask to show her that I'm not that mad at her.
"Um it's two-forty." Serah replies after a moment to verify with my alarm clock.
"Could you do me a favor, Serah?" I ask as a thought hits me.
"Of course sis!" She squeals lightly, okay I have no idea why she suddenly got so excited.
"Could you keep Zidane away from me at all times today?" Yes I don't want that crazy mini-elephant anywhere near me, he's always so rough.
"Sure thing!" Again with the squeal. Maybe I should start wearing ear plugs.
"Thanks." I reply before closing my eyes again to get some more shut-eye.
"Um mom wanted me to get you up." Serah says timidly, she knows how much I like my sleep.
"She also tried at noon, but to no avail." I say with a wave of my hand in Serah's general direction.
"Well I'm a bit more adamant!" Serah says as she crawls into my bed, oh God my ribs are hurting now thanks Serah. "Like an Adamantoise!"
"Ow ow!" I begin groaning in pain as my little sister tries to pull me up. "Wait a what?" I ask wondering what the hell an Adamantoise is.
"It's a dinosaur, sis." Oh right a dinosaur, yeah never really cared for those. "But you gotta get up!" She starts trying to pick me up again.
"Okay okay help me up." I say motioning for Serah to move to the side of my bed. She takes my hands and I pull myself up, but not without some pain flaring up in my ribs. Oh woe is me I know.
"Need some help walking?" My sweet considerate sister asks with a smile.
"No thanks." After how rough she was with me in bed I won't be asking her for help for a while...okay maybe that didn't come out as I had planned.
"Okay, if you need anything just ask!" And with that she's gone in a matter of seconds. Is it just me or is Serah acting a lot like Vanille today?
"Oh hey Light. You look like shit." Fang says as I timidly lay down on the couch, she was watching some kind of action program.
"Well now you know how you look every day." I groan as I lay my head down on the pillow I had brought with me from my room.
"Uh-oh someone's being a Negative Nancy today." Fang smirks as I roll my eyes at her.
"Yeah and we all know you're always the Positive Pete of the house." I used sarcasm there just there in case you fellas didn't pick up on it. But really the last thing I could deal with today would be Fang...well and the mini-elephant. Speak of the devil.
"Yo Fang switch to video, I wanna watch Rocky." No, not again.
"Fuck off Zidane, go watch some porn or something." Little did Fang know that Rocky is as good as any porn in the eyes of Zidane.
"Dude, Rocky is my porn." Okay now that statement would have been taken the wrong way if it wasn't for Zidane hitting on pretty much every girl he's ever seen.
"How lovely." I mutter as Zidane turn to face me.
"Oh hey there's my favorite little sister!" He grins before moving towards me, oh no what's he going to do?
"Stay away from me you hyperactive nut." I growl as I push his face away.
"Woke up on the wrong side of the bed huh?" Yeah my whole bed is the wrong side of the bed, so techinally I would have to flip it over to have a better morning? maybe I should give that a try sometime.
"If my bed-head doesn't prove it than nothing will." I groan, enduring the pain just to turn away from my idiotic brother.
"I find women with bed-head sexy." He probably winked because he always does when talking about things he finds "sexy".
"You know if I didn't come out of the womb minutes after you I woulda figured you as adopted by now." Fang says a little too much for my liking.
"You're gonna make me sick Fang." I tell her before placing my pillow over my head.
"Uh uh Zidane get away from Light." Serah's voice drifts in from the kitchen and I can faintly hear her soft footsteps as she pads into the living room, presumably over to Zidane.
"Why MiniLight?" He asks with a laugh, probably at the look on her face. It always is hard to keep a straight face when Serah is mad at you.
"'Cause she's hurt and you're too rough!" I peek from under the pillow to see Serah pushing Zidane away from the couch, it's quite funny that she's actually a bit taller than he is.
"Now now kids, let's play nice." Oh yeah I forgot to mention that Mom took the day off work to look after me. I don't blame her seeing how crazy my siblings are. I'm starting to question why I even got up today. My mom walks over to the door to answer it as someone was obviously knocking on it. Yes I know my wording is weird, but hey give me a break I'm in pain here. "Why hello there Aquarius. It's been so long since I've seen you, my have you grown." Okay mom quit gushing already.
"Um hello Mrs. Farron." I can hear my cousin reply, I bet she's blushing what with all the gushing ma is doing.
"So have you gotten a boyfriend yet, Aquarius?" Wow I never knew how pushy Mom could be.
"Um, no not yet." Hmm you know I always kinda thought Aqua was a lesbian. I don't know why exactly, just kinda did. Maybe it's how short her hair is, but that's just a stupid stereotype.
"Oh that's a shame, Aquarius. I'm sure you have plenty of suitors." Oh quit torturing the poor kid mom.
"Zidane, come say hi to Aquarius." Oh God.
"Who's at the door?" Zidane asked sarcastically.
"Quit being a smart ass."
"And Momma quickly scolds the tailed one." Serah says in a stupid commentating voice before avoiding Zidane's attack.
"So what brings you here, dear?" Mom asks turning back to our blue-haired cousin. Would the term bluenette be correct here?
"Oh I was just here to drop off Lightning's homework." I groan at this, I know I'll probably end up not doing it. Oh and I forgot to mention that Aqua and I share all of our classes, she just wasn't there for the majority of the days. I guess she was still on vacation or something. And yes Aqua is in grade eleven although she's fifteen, she started school a year earlier than Vanille.
"Okay, thanks. You can just throw it in the dumpster around the corner." I grumble just loud enough for Mom to hear me.
"Lightning!" She scolds, I swear if Serah commentates I'll kick her ass.
"And Momma scolds the oink haired one." Wait what?
"What the fuck did you just say, Serah?" I ask her and see her eyes light up in response, that says more than enough. "You have pink hair too you idiot."
"I'm smarter than you are." She stuck her tongue out at me. That bitch, no one sticks their tongue out at me.
"Yeah sometimes I question that." I grumbled.
"Ow! that hurt, Light." Serah pouted, rubbing her head where the pillow I threw had connected.
"Come on Serah it's a pillow. You know the soft things that you rest your head on when you sleep?" Fang jumped in on mocking our baby sister. Serah only huffed as her reply.
"Oh I hope you don't mind, Light, but I invited Hope over to hang out." And I thought this day couldn't get any worst, I must have been thinking positively for once.
"Why would you do that to me, Serah?" I sigh, bringing my left arm over my eyes. "You know I can't stand that premature white haired bastard."
"Sorry sis, but I like him." Serah smiled brightly. I have no idea what she see's in him.
"What the hell do you see in him anyway?" I asked incredulously. Seriously, let's think about it for a moment. He's not good looking, no where near athletic, he has white freakin hair for crying out loud, who has white hair other than old people? And of course...he's really short. Like ridiculously short, even little Serah is taller than him. Although he is still taller than Zidane, but that's not saying much. And don't even get me started on his personality, I don't call him mister zero self confidence for no reason. He's lame and he knows it. I could go on and on, wait...I think I love Hope. Nah just kidding, that's the kind of garbage you read in love stories, and my life is far from being a love story I'll have you know.
"Um he's sweet and thoughtful." Serah gave me a light glare as I snorted at her reasoning. "You don't know the real Hope, Light." Serah crossed her arms and glared down at me. I blankly stared up at her, slightly peeking out from the pillow that covered my head.
"Good. I don't want to know the real him. He's probably lamer than he already is." I joke and Serah sighs exasperated, she should know not to try and change me.
"I'm serious, Lightning. He's always intimidated by you, Snow, Zidane and Fang. I think you would really like him." Why is Serah trying so hard to get me to take a liking to this kid? I am not going to be his bodyguard. Hell no. He probably has a load of bullies on his tail already, before the first week is through. Hope is the kind of chump that has a permanent 'kick me' sign seared onto his back.
"Fat chance, Ser." She sighs again. Oh, Serah, how naive you are.
"You're so stubborn" Serah pouts as she slumps down on the chair opposite of me. She crosses her arms and legs before looking away with a huff.
"Whatever, Serah. Just make sure he stays away from me." I grumbled. "And make sure he doesn't touch my stuff."
