Due to consensus, there will be a lemon at some point... what chapter, I don't know. V-chan, really! I thought you were semi-innocent too!
V-chan: You're one to talk! **whip** Get to work!
Wildwolf: Urusei.
Chibi: T_T I was innocent! Until mou hitori no boku decided to start writing lemon and reading certain NC-17 manga after I pleaded with her to NOT.
Wildwolf: Chibi?
Chibi: Hai?
Wildwolf: One of two things: Make ramen or write this.
Chibi: Fine... but depending upon, any lemons after this first one may only be light or only mentioned... dunno.
Wildwolf: Weakling.
Chibi: And we don't own Anne Rice's books~! We love them, but we don't own them... and they play a huge part in our life!
Wildwolf: Hah... the Marius/Armand lemon moments... ^^
Chibi: Hentai.
Chapter 5-
Thursday was the second day of school for our... protagonists and antagonists, if such exist in this story.
Kharl got ready for the Advisory class that morning. All was situated as students filed in after the bell rang, and soon the tardy bell tolled. More papers were handed out as students talked of their classes from the day before. He was remembering many things right now, not all of were bringing happy thoughts to his mind.
Sighing, he took out his wallet and opened it, finding a picture of him and a young boy sitting next to each other, smiling happily.
He'd be in this grade now, wouldn't he?
The Advisory passed quickly, and 5th period was rolling in. Advisory wouldn't always be included in the day, only in these confusing days when school first started.
Kharl wondered to himself as the students came in and sat down. He thought of how each classroom was situated. Each little classroom was like a universe of its own. Each one had its own laws, teachings, understandings, and students were just visitors to these universes that were only connected by hallways. Teachers only knew one another if they had the same lunch, meaning in the same department. But it was even stranger for a long-term substitute. He got tastes of many different universes in one school year, and it was overwhelming to think of it like that.
Shydeman stared at Kharl, glaring. He remembered this substitute somewhat from middle school. He wasn't that bad, but he had been yet another person that couldn't pronounce his name and thought that he was a girl because of his long hair.
But there was even still another reason he was annoyed that had to do with his Advisory class...
Flashback-
Shydeman and Fedelta were talking, sitting on one of the couches in their Advisory room. Another student, Bierrez, was sitting alone on the other nearby couch. The rest of the class was crowded to the other side of the room, avoiding eye contact- with the exception of two blond girls, who were just sitting on the floor in front of them, either doodling in a sketchbook or giving frequent glances over to them... or both.
Bierrez glared at them the next time the one with a sketchpad looked, and she smiled sheepishly. Standing, she seemingly flew over to him and held up a little sign: I Like Cheesypoofs!
Bierrez sweat-dropped.
Up came another sign: Do You Like Cheesypoofs?
Seeing she wasn't getting an answer, she skipped over to Shydeman and Fedelta in a whirl of blond. Her friend with glasses immediately smiled and joined her, neither giving verbal nor physical signs.
((The author must now note that neither of these are her; she's in the room next door, staring at Nohiro and Rune and wondering if they're a couple and how cute of one they'd be, just like how she wonders about two straight guys in her real life Advisory! She also must note that she is brunette, not blond. Also, she wonders why she is speaking in 3rd person.))
The first pulled out a hairbrush and smiled at Shydeman. "Can I do your hair?"
"No!" Shydeman backed away from her, in the process early sitting on Fedelta.
Her gaze turned to Fedelta and the Anne Rice book. "Do you read Lumen Lunae?" Though, if going by real circumstances, at this point of time we have neither heard of Dragon Knights or Lumen Lunae.
A shake of the head answered her.
The second girl's eyes shifted from one of them to the other. "How long have you two been together? You two are cute together!"
This was becoming quite annoying...
Both smiled innocently before asking, "Who's on top?"
This left the two flustered, and fortunately, the bell decided to ring at that exact time.
End Flashback-
So now Shydeman was very flushed and on the verge of banging his head against the desk as Kharl handed out papers. This would be a long, horrible four years. The Cheesypoofs girl with the sketchbook and one with glasses would be in his Advisory for all four long years.
And at this same time, Fedelta was feigning off the stares from both of the blond girls, who both happened to have this class. The one with glasses whispered to the one with the sketchbook, who nodded. The one with the sketchbook stared at him, pencil going while the one with glasses had an evil smile on her face.
Sign: Do You Like Cheesypoofs?
Fedelta whipped his head forwards, seeing the girls still out of the corner of his eye, still staring. Read the posters... it doesn't matter if you don't know French; that's what you're here to learn, right? Right? He felt sweat beading up. The girls kept staring at him, smiling and drawing... what the hell was she drawing anyway?!
He had the strange urge to go find out, but this is when the teacher started handing out those annoying beginning-of-year forms.
Tapping his pencil on the desk impatiently, he started filling out his schedule and some of his official forms and whatnot... yes, in pencil, bad boy. Ignoring the girl with the sketchbook. Ignore the smirk from the one with glasses, as if she's plotting...
Sign out of the corner of the eye: Hi! I'm V-chan the Chibi Artist!
He turned slightly.
Another sign: Hi! I'm Chloe-chan, AKA Lestat!
Another sign: And I'm Armand.
Ignore this... ignore everything... read! Yes, go back and find out what's happening with Armand now that Marius has been burned up. They really casted Armand badly for that movie...
Wait... Lestat's a vampire from these books... and so is Armand! These people are crazy... ignore, just ignore them...
Seeing they weren't getting a response, V-chan and Chloe-chan pouted before going on to their own forms and various Mineko Ohkami manga.
Rath and Thatz were in double-blocked band at this point of time, and still hadn't brought their instruments. Then again, the band director named Mr. Atkinson, or Mr. A for short, had said Friday, so... yeah. It was only Thursday. So, since it was a free day, why not make band posters? The walls seemed so awfully bare...
"Nothing inappropriate!" Mr. A yelled, glaring at a couple of students that snickered in reply.
Ever since first coming to band yesterday, Rath and Thatz had noticed something very valid about their classmates: give them a roll of duct tape and they'd kill each other.
"You know what?" Thatz asked, reading his Animerica magazine. "Somehow, Scott McNeil gets to all of these conventions... there must be at least him and seven clones walking around."
"Hm? Duo from Gundam Wing's American voice actor?" Rath blinked.
"Yeah."
Rath smirked. "Hm, I can see it now: one Scott McNeil is on the way to Dallas and two meet up at San Francisco. 'Why are you here?' one asks. 'For the convention' says the other. 'No, I'm at this convention!' says the first. The second checks his watch and says, 'Shit! I'm supposed to be in Alabama!'."
"And the other five are in Miami, Sandusky, Phoenix, Ontario, and Timbuktu!" Thatz grinned.
"Timbuktu? Um..."
"Ok, so that's not in North America. Shut up."
"And then there's the unknown ninth member that sits at head quarters all day, answering phone calls and checking email. Heh... to the McNeil Cave, Scott!"
"Which one?"
"Which ever one's dressed as Robin."
"Rath?"
"Hm?"
"Shut up, before I slap you."
Rune and Nohiro were gaining the long speech on Lucas geographers at this time, as Nadil slipped into the room. He sidled in and stared at the back of Rune's head, making the boy shudder.
"Are you ok, Rune?" Nohiro asked a little over-protectively in voice. This was noticed, causing Rune to flush and some members of the class that were awake to laugh.
"Mr. Nadil, do you need anything."
"Hm, not really. Can you tell me where I may find this student?" He handed her a piece of paper.
"Oh, let me look." She looked through her papers of the schedules the students had to fill out and this class was in the process of filling out. "Ah, I can't read what he has right now, but next period he has Biology in Mrs. Smith's room, 304. Is it important? You can ask the office."
"Oh no, just wondering..." He took back his piece of paper and sauntered off, an evil grin on his face.
"That was strange." Rune commented.
Nohiro nodded, leaning back in his chair and accidentally hitting his leg on Rune's. "Sorry!" He said in a whispered voice.
Rune turned red. "It's ok."
Nohiro smiled, causing for red to come up.
The room was decorated in such a way that Bierrez had to wonder about the teacher's sanity. He sat on a stool near a desk with the letter 'F' on it, resting his leg against the cold metal that could not be felt through his baggy jeans. His CD player was placed in the little cubby between the drawers on the underside and the table of the desk itself.
"Welcome to Drawing!" The teacher said suddenly, getting up from his computer. "I'm Mr. Samp, and this class is a... collaboration of Drawings 2, 3, and 4." He went on to explain more, but Bierrez zoned out. He was in the Drawing 2 section, having taken Pre-AP Art in middle school.
"You will have to pay ten dollars in fee for supplies and bring your own sketchbook." He caught this as he sighed, leaning his head down on the desk tiredly. Last night had been hell, for insomnia had kicked in and for some reason, his brain wouldn't let him sleep.
"There's not much we can do today... unless you want a writing assignment!" Mr. Samp grinned.
"No!" The whole room yelled.
"It's unanimous, then." He said, walking over to his computer and starting to ignore the whole class. "Oh, you see the lettered tags on your desks? Those correspond with what clean-up job you have. The tags should have the description on them."
Bierrez looked at his: Special Operations. What the hell? But the description said he had no job at this time, so he wouldn't complain. So, he may as well just lie his head down and feel the ever-present dull, numb feeling in his temples. Wow, it was interesting to actually feel the blood pumping through them. Ow...
At least it's not a hangover... he consoled himself. Were it a hangover, he wouldn't be in school. In fact, why was he in school now? Hadn't he had it beautifully planned out to stay home today? Ah well, that's how it is.
Rune met up with Rath for sixth period, Nohiro still following him like a little puppy.
"So, Rath, how has your day been so far?" Rune asked.
"Fine, you?" Rath returned.
"Great."
"Are you still stalking the mailman?" Rath raised an eyebrow.
"You know about that?" Rune flushed.
"What are you waiting for anyway?"
"Um..." Rune clenched his fingers on his pants. "Yami no Matsuei?" He answered in more of a question than a statement. He hoped that Rath didn't know it was a shoujo manga... that would be much too hard to explain...
"Ok." Rath turned towards the front.
As the tables were set up in that Brad Pitt-filled room, there were long tables of two students lined up in two rows, facing the front desk. Rath sat in the second table to the front on the right side while Rune and Nohiro sat behind him.
Nohiro pushed the air in his mouth to one cheek, pouting. Rune was giving this other guy a lot of attention... yes, he was jealous. Was there a problem with that?
"Hey Rune." Nohiro whispered. "I heard that series was good... can you tell me what it's about?"
"Um..." Rune flushed. "It's about these Shinigami, angels of death basically, who have to solve various mysterious murders, and it's just a drama and romance series."
"Sounds shoujo to me."
Rune's eyes widened in embarrassment. "It is..."
"And a lot like X Files."
"I've never seen that. But I suppose it is..." he lowered his voice a lot. "Except with bishounen."
"Huh?" Nohiro asked.
"Nothing!" Rune smiled innocently.
Rath and Kharl made eye contact.
His eyes...! They remind me of... Kharl thought, eyes widened.
This guy... why is he staring at me...? Rath started twitching a little.
At this point, a certain dark violet-haired teacher walked in.
"Ah, Mr. Nadil! What brings you here?"
Rath's eyes widened. What the hell?!
Thatz and Shydeman were at Algebra at this point of time, with a teacher no one seemed to like. Thatz didn't see anything wrong with the teacher; she was just a little dictator-like. What was really wrong with that? Sure, it was pretty disagreeable at times, but he usually ignored the teacher, so... but it reminded him of how his class had single-handedly run out his Home Economics teacher in seventh grade. He thought it had been pretty unfair...
Shydeman noticed the barbaric behavior of the students as well. It was their first day of the class and already they were running amuck and not listening. So, he went back to his summer reading that he had never finished.
I will ignore all of these people, and the fact that the blond girl with the sketchbook is sitting on the other side of the room, staring at me.
And yes, V-chan was sitting on the other side of the room, finding Shydeman much more fun to stare at than the class.
I just hope she and that other girl never talk to Shyrendora and Cesia...
"We will go to teaching next class, and your homework for today is to fill out these forms." She passed them back to the students.
((I will note that no one liked this teacher, but I saw no reason to dislike her besides her slight command and teaching problems. Who wouldn't send a disruptive student into the hall?))
"Stupid kids." Shydeman muttered from his seat in the back.
"I know." Thatz replied from his seat next to him. It's almost like in the Lord of the Flies and how all the boys went insane, throwing away law and civility. And the teacher is like Piggy, the poor boy who got killed and represented reason. The laws of nature turned those boys in to animals, will the lack of order do the same here?
And so they sat, watching the unwritten rules of animalistic barbarism unwind as the law of 'the strong survive, kill or be killed' seemed to show in a class of high school freshmen.
Fedelta stared at Bierrez long and hard, who ignored him completely. The dark teen didn't know what was wrong with this guy, but knew there was something indeed. But what, he couldn't place his finger on.
Bierrez himself sat there, staring at his schedule. Other students were talking about have double-blocked band, but he himself only had one. Maybe they had just messed up... He shrugged, not wanting to complain. The first class they'd get rid of would be Study Hall, and he needed that class.
"Hey Fedelta!" Some person who obviously had a death wish called. "Do you know any phrases to put on a poster?"
Fedelta just glared his reply. This worked, seeing as the person just went back to what he was doing.
At the college, all the author would like to say is that all of the guys were in classes that morning, and nothing really interesting happened.
"Oh my god, that teacher..." Nohiro groaned, walking out of the Pre-AP Art 1 room for B lunch. "She spent the majority of the class on the phone!"
"I know..." Rune nodded. Spending so many classes with Nohiro wasn't bad... at least he wasn't hitting on him. At first, Rune had been afraid that he was one of those, 'nothing matters but love' types.
Nohiro, of course, was walking just a step behind Rune, so he wasn't going to start complaining about the view. Of course, if Rune knew this, Nohiro would be in the hospital over the weekend.
Rune position and height allowed him to see a certain figure that he recognized... a short brown-haired girl from his and Nohiro's Advisory that had a 'my name is Wildwolf' paper taped on her binder. Yes, this was the author. She was talking to the blond girl with glasses from Shydeman and Fedelta's Advisory, and their eyes went very fangirl-sparkly.
"Nohiro?" Rune recognized the looks on their faces. "I think we should lay low."
Nohiro nodded, finding an out-of-the-way place to sit and eat their packed lunches. Feeling the danger had passed, he went back to watching Rune, a new hobby of his. Call him a pervert if you wish, but why would you want to?
"Operation now about to commence." Kitchel smiled, can't believing her luck. She put on her happy face and yelled suddenly, "Rune!"
"Oh? Hello Kitchel!" Rune waved back as Kitchel came and sat across from them.
Nohiro gave a small indignant sound. This girl better not hit on him...
"Oh, Rune, how has your day been?"
"Great, yours?"
"Wonderful!" She turned to Nohiro as if just noticing him. "Rune, why don't you introduce me to your friend?"
"Oh, Kitchel, this is Nohiro. Nohiro, this is Kitchel."
"Pleasure to meet you!"
"Same here." Nohiro mumbled.
"Eh, Nohiro? Are you alright?" Rune asked.
Nohiro nodded rapidly.
Kitchel smiled. This would be fun.
"Oy? Hi everyone!" Rath sat down suddenly next to Kitchel.
This got Nohiro glaring. Rath, not noticing the glare but still feeling a tinge of something, shuddered.
Perfect. Kitchel thought. Judging from Nohiro's reaction to Rath being here... he's jealous of anyone who gets close to him! Hah! This will be fun! -^_^-
Come C lunch, Thatz, Fedelta, and Shydeman exited the Health room. More students had played with the skeleton, as scary as that was. Thatz, seeing that he didn't know anyone, decided to sit on his own rather than try to sit with people from his class.
Bierrez had D lunch alone and that's about it.
They went through with their classes like good lil children, including Bierrez and Rune in Geometry and Shydeman was in Individual Sports... his second gym class.
Because the author is feeling rather angsty right now, there will be a tiny scene with the college guys to end this chapter.
Tetheus and Ruwalk were in class at this time, and Kaistern and Alfeegi were spending time in Ruwalk and Alfeegi's dorm, just waiting for the other two to finish so they could eat an early dinner or something.
"So, have you said anything?" Alfeegi asked.
"Hm?" Kaistern picked his eyes up from his textbook.
"To that guy that you like."
"...no, I haven't." Kaistern sighed.
Alfeegi smiled sadly. "I think he likes you too."
"Nani?" Kaistern asked, turning red.
Alfeegi just smiled.
Wildwolf (Louis on PMS): Aiya~! I'm working furiously on this!
Chibi (Louis): Liar.
Wildwolf (Louis on PMS): **hisses**
Nohiro (Bishounen): There needs to be the setting up of Rune and I! **flails**
V-chan (Armand): Yeah! You need to write! **chases Wildwolf with a foldable spork**
Wildwolf (Louis on PMS): Aiya~! Armand, why not chase Chibi?
Chloe-chan (Lestat): Because! **huggles the Chibi** Don't hurt Louis!
Wildwolf (Louis on... you get the point!): But I'm Louis too! I still count!
Amber (Marius): No you don't. I, Marius, say you don't count, so you don't.
Chibi (Louis): Ano... expect Scott McNeil to be a recurring theme. We seem to love him too much... and if you want to contact us to threaten Wildwolf-chan, email us at: wildwolf_06@hotmail.com and maybe she will start writing... **glare** But it'll be hard cause it's the end of the year...
V-chan (Armand): **is now strangling Wildwolf**
Ka (Nikki): . Just for reference, these names in parenthesis are the names that we have given each other from those Anne Rice books that I don't read.
Amber and Chloe-chan (Marius and Lestat): But you should!
Chibi (Louis): I noticed something. Our writing style changes whenever it goes to Bierrez.
V-chan (Armand): That's because you're more serious when writing his parts. **shrug** It works! **goes back to choking Wildwolf**
