A.N. Yeah.. Right. I'm tired so what.. No big deal just another chapter..
DISCLAIMER- me no own. if I did I'd be happy instead of sad.
Cloud's knuckles were white by the time Rowen pulled into the school. Her face was white. "You o.k.?" asked Rowen grinning over at her. She let go and took in a breath.
"I haven't done that in a while," she shook her head and grinned, "But I think horses are much more fun. you can't crash and burn on them ^^" Rowen sighed.
"Great, another critic of my driving," Kento put a hand on the blue haired teen's shoulder.
"Not everyone can be a great driver like me!" he grinned.
"Your no better than him," Cye scoffed. Kento spun and put the poor Englishman in a headlock, messing up his hair with a noogie. "Ow! Kento!! Stop!" Cloud started to laugh quietly.
Finally the burly teen let him go, and Cye took out a comb, fixing his hair and giving playful glares at Kento now and then. Cloud shook her head. "Everything is always so exciting here," she chuckled to put in the emphasis.
Ryo chuckled in amusement and Sage was quiet. Rowen slapped him on the back. "Don't worry! I'm sure you're early enough!" Sage glared.
"Girl troubles?" Cloud asked, and they stared at her.
"How did you know?" Cloud smiled proudly.
"Because I used to have guy troubles ^^" she paused, "Not! I just guessed!" they all face faulted while she grinned. "Well I feel better now ^_^"
"Laugh it up, we'll pull one on you some day," threatened Kento, a dangerous but playful look to his eye.
"I'm sure you wont ^^"
"Never under estimate the power of muscle!"
"O.k... let me pretend I'm not... I'm done ^^"
"You're a regular smart ass," muttered Rowen.
"I've learned from the best," a few collective chuckles arose.
"You have a higher I.Q. and she STILL beat you," laughed Ryo. Rowen grinned.
"That's round one. round two is much harder,"
"Bring it on blue-boy," there was silence, then everyone started to laugh.
"Ahem. We don't want to be late," Cye stated. A few collective groans went up, and Sage got out of the car, and ran into the building.
"I'd pay to see what he's so afraid of," grinned Cloud.
"Believe me, you will," Rowen grinned. They opened the car doors, and Ryo unfolded Cloud's chair and she sat in it.
"Thank you," she smiled.
"Your welcome," both teens found themselves blushing again. The guys gave each other knowing glances, and smirks.
~!~!~!~
Cloud deposited her books in her locker, having to reach up to do so. The first three classes had gone by easily. except for the stares she got. She examined her schedule and froze. "Damn.." she had art next. She looked up at the ceiling. "Oh the insanity of it all," she grabbed the wheels of her wheel chair and moved herself forward, towards the stairs. Kento was there. He waved enthusiastically, and she groaned.
"I hear you need a ride," he grinned. Cloud sighed.
"Remind me to kill myself later," she muttered, but Kento just laughed and picked her out form her wheel chair.
"I have art too, so this is convenient ^^"
"No it's embarrassing," she whined, trying to ignore the stares and snickers they were getting. Kento just beamed.
"I like the attention ^^"
"Well I sure as hell don't,"
"Hey Kento wait up!!" Cloud froze and looked behind; Ryo was coming up the stairs with her wheelchair. Ryo finally caught up. "Having fun Cloud?"
"Nope," she answered with a sigh. Finally they got to the top of the stairs, and Ryo set the navy blue outlined wheelchair down. Then Kento set her back down in it.
"Now wasn't that fun?" Kento said, laughing. Cloud sighed.
"Yeah real fun,"
"Don't worry, it'll only get easier,"
"Do you have art too?" Ryo blushed.
"No I have to go to FACS, bye!" he ran off.
"Well it's off to the art room,"
*^*^*^*^
Kento grinned looking over at Cloud, she was so involved in her project she was obvious to the world. He took the time to peer over at it, and he blinked. It was a painting of a black horse, with what looked to be thunder and lightening symbols on it's flank.
Cloud took each detail seriously, making sure she got it how she wanted.
What surprised Kento the most was the detail, it was so vivid. H grinned sheepishly as she turned it towards him. "What do you think?"
"It's pretty cool," Kento smiled and showed her his, he was painting a sandwich, she began to laugh,
"That represents you well!" she laughed.
"Is there something you two would like to share with the class?' Mrs. Takaido, the art teacher asked. Cloud face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"U-Um, n-no Mam.." Cloud uttered, and a few snickers went around the class, but when the teacher glared, they immediately shut up.
Cloud went back to working on her project. Kento sighed, and pretended to work on his, this class to him was so boring; all they did was paint or draw, or work with clay. It was all the same, and it bored him, he couldn't wait till they changed specials.
Something new caught his eye on Cloud's painting. He bent over to look closer, and what he saw startled him. No longer was it of just a horse, it had a rider, it looked like Cloud.. and behind it was not the sunset he had thought she'd put in, but a divided space, and she was filling it with what looked to be memories, and in the middle of the broken parts, right behind the horse, there was a sunset memory. But in the others were a lake, another girl with auburn hair and green eyes, a forest, a house, another horses and rider, and the last one was left blank, and it looked like it could fit a carefully cut picture. "That's really good," he smiled. Cloud blushed.
"Thank you Kento," the bell rang and Cloud carefully wrapped up her painting, then slid it into a compartment on the back of her wheel chair. Then in grabbing her backpack, she put it on the handlebars on the back, then wheeled out after Kento.
**~~**~~
Cloud couldn't wait till it was over, she was in 'gym' and on account of her being handicapped, she was told to try and use her legs to walk around the gym. She wasn't aloud to bring her wheelchair, and she hadn't gotten very far, maybe a few meters.
She felt tears sting her eyes, and she tried to push them back, but as her knees fell form beneath her, she felt them come out. The tear gems made soft clinks as they hit. Her whole body was wracked with sobs. "I.I ... I can't do it," she brushed the tears away and gathered the tear gems, putting those ones n her pocket form this morning, she had about sixteen now. She put on a determined face and pulled herself up using the wall. "You CAN do this," she said to herself she tried. and she fell were she had last fell. She didn't let the tars come. just sat there. Her face was downcast, and finally the left eye leaked, but she wouldn't allow the other one to leak.
**~~**~~
Ryo panted heavily, he had just come out from playing soccer, and he was granted the request for a drink. He opened the door and stepped out. He paused, he heard crying. Being the curious person that he is, he decided to find out who it was. He rounded the corner and froze, Cloud was on the ground; she was the owner of the tears. On instinct he immediately walked over. Cloud looked up at him and immediately wiped her tears away. "R-Ryo."
"Here," he offered her a hand and hoisted her up. He smiled. "Your not ready for it yet, ne?" She looked down. "It'll be O.K., Come on, lets get your wheelchair," she looked at him.
"Arigato..Ryo."
"No problem ^^"
