Chapter 2: The Beak-up And Money 4 Shampoo
Riku woke up with a groan. He looked over to his left to see the sun shinning brightly in his eyes. He quickly shielded them from the irritation of the light. He really didn't like the sun in the morning. Literally, he rolled off the bed and landed on the floor with a thump. Lazily he got up and walked to the shower with nothing on his mind in particular.
Meanwhile, Leon was down stairs already eating his breakfast.
"LLEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!" Riku came running down the stairs like a hoard of demons were chasing him and were close behind. "Why the hell were you using my $30 shampoo?!?"
"Why didn't you bother to at least get dressed?" He retorted sarcastically. "You're still in your towel and we have to leave in about 10 minutes."
"That's not the point! The point is, your hair is all the way down your back thus it takes more shampoo to lather it!"
"You jealous?"
"No!"
"So what's your point?" He asked casually, flicking the burned piece of toast in his plate.
"My point is you used all my $30 shampoo! You owe me $50!"
"50? The shampoo is only 30." The brunet asked semi-frustrated that this was the way his brother greeted him in the morning.
"You owe me for the labor of walking down the street to the store." Riku snorted snootily.
"Here you are, the champion of the school tack team and you're complaining about walking down the street!?"
"I could have been doing something else with my time, thank you very much!"
"Whatever." Leon got up and walked out of the kitchen.
"You still owe me!" Riku stormed upstairs to get dressed.
Riku had to run to school that morning due to the fact that he had left the house at 8:20. School started at 8:30. All this would have never happened if Leon hadn't had used his shampoo. Any way, Riku arrived at school to see his brother and Tidus talking. They were probably talking about what they always talked about and frankly he didn't want to know. The blonde walked into the class to find Sora sitting in the back. He was surrounded by girls that were either drooling over him or trying to ask him questions like: "Where are you from?" or "What's your phone number?"
Riku walked over.
"Hey."
"Hey." Sora replied.
"Oh my gosh! You know Riku?!?!" One girl shouted to Sora.
Then, out of nowhere, a girl with short brunette hair tackled Riku to the ground.
"What the hell?!?!?" He turned around to see Selphie hanging all over him. "Selphie!"
"Riku!!!! You didn't walk me home yesterday!" She hugged him even tighter.
"Selphie. . . I- I cant. . ." He chocked out halfway turning a weird shade of blue.
"You can't what?!?" She would have hugged him tighter if it were even possible.
"I think he can't breath." Sora spoke up as he saw that Riku was turning an unusual shade of blue.
"What do you mean he can't breath? He looks okay to me. Silly boys." The brunette rolled her eyes.
"No. I'm serious. Look at him!" Sora panicked
"Selphie, let him go. He can't breath!" Another girl with brunette hair said as she entered the classroom.
"Kairi!!!!!!" Selphie let go of Riku and ran over to her best friend Kairi and hugged her.
Riku collapsed on the floor all out of breath.
"So you're pretty popular with the girls I see." Sora said as he put his hand out to help Riku off the floor.
"You could say that, but I don't pay most of them any attention." He responded, grabbing the offering hand and pulling himself up.
"Why not? They really seem to like you."
"That's just Selphie. Give her a day and she'll be all over you too." He joked while brushing off his clothes.
Sora just gave a chuckle to the comment and was about to speak but the teacher walked into the classroom.
Riku for once was glad the teacher had walked into the classroom. He didn't like where the conversation was headed. He never really felt attracted to girls. Well he did used to like Kairi about 3 years back but that was just a silly crush. Maybe he was looking for too much. Maybe at his age, he should only be worried about crushes. Not anything more.
"Riku, I trust you will pay attention today." The teacher stated giving Riku a glare.
"Yeah, whatever."
"And show some respect."
'Is this teacher's plan; to humiliate me every time he gets a chance? Damn he pisses me off!'
"Hey. Do you know Leon?" Some random person asked Cloud. It seemed like this was the 100th time he got this question. Why would they think he knew anyone? He was new to this school.
"Sure." Cloud responded lazily, very aggravated at the fact that he got this question again. It seems like Leon is the role model of the school.
"Isn't he hot?"
"What?!?!"
'What kind of a question was that? To just randomly ask a guy if he thinks another guy is hot. I swear, people sure do think of the most random questions to ask.'
"Even if your straight, you've got to admit he's hot."
'Well sure when I fist saw him I thought he was pretty good looking. Ok, sexy, but I never thought about it like that.'
"And his boyfriend Tidus is even hotter!" the person continued on.
"Why are you asking me these questions? Do I look gay to you? Do I look queer to you? Huh? Do I?!" He asked making the girl give him a strange look.
"To tell the truth. Since you're so defensive, I would say you are. But don't worry. You're cute enough; Leon will fall for you in a second. Oh and by the way; the name's Quistis"
Cloud felt the blood rush to his face. He knew he had to excuse himself before he let Quistis see he was blushing.
"Uuu, I gotta go." And with that he took off.
"See you later!" she called after him.
'Why am I blushing? I don't care if Leon likes me or not. I still promised someone that I would go out with her. I heard she was at this school so I'll finally be able to see her again. It's been 4 years. I wonder how she looks?'
Cloud got his blush under control. He looked up at the clock in the hall and noticed that he had been walking around for quite some time. He was late for his 2nd period class. He didn't really care though. Girls would be surrounding him asking for his phone number, flirting with him, or telling him their erotic fantasies about Leon. He really didn't want to go through that again.
The blond walked down the hallway, on his way to nowhere in particular. It was easy since he was new to the school and if a teacher asked him why he was out of class, he would just tell them he got lost. He walked to the stairwell to hear voices coming from around the corner. He recognized one of the voices. It was Leon. But who was he talking to?
"I don't think it's working out."
"What do you mean it's not working out?"
"I mean you and I. You aren't exactly my type."
"You should have told me that the day I asked you out."
"I didn't know you were so . . . you. You were a quiet and conservative type of person before we started going out."
"Earth to Tidus! I have never been that conservative. Quiet maybe, but never conservative. Are you calling me crazy?"
"Yes! Remember the time you pulled out that gun-blade thingy of yours and threatened my neighbors because they said they were going to call the cops on us because we wouldn't shut up and keep our 'activities' quieter?"
"I didn't hurt them."
"You pissed on their lawn."
". . . I was drunk."
"You still did it."
Cloud was shocked. He knew Leon was a bit weird but he thought that he was only mean to his brother. When he saw Leon, the fist though that was on his mind was anti-social. Especially since he didn't speak to him or Sora. As his thoughts went on, he noticed a girl with light brown hair walk by him. She had a few beads on one side of her hair. She also had a unique blue eye and green eye. She walked over to Tidus.
"Hey Tidus." She gave him a peck on the cheek and then turned to face Leon. "Who's this? One of your friends?"
'Wow. That was cold. Tidus already has a new girl friend.' Cloud thought to himself.
"Yeah." Tidus said to her slipping an arm around her waist. "See you Leon." And with that, Tidus walked away.
Leon stood there for a few seconds until to Cloud's shock he spoke to him.
"Well, do you like eavesdropping?"
"Oh, I was just passing by and I overheard."
"Whatever." Leon glared and then walked away.
Cloud felt his heart jump. He felt bad for Leon but he also felt kind of happy to know that Leon was now available.
'What the hell are you thinking!?!? You're supposed to be meeting her. And besides, obviously he's not interested in you. He's and anti-social guy who thinks he's cool but has another side that's a bit crazy. Wow, no wonder all the girls like him. I have to keep focused.'
Cloud walked the bathroom. He might as well skip 2nd period. It was almost over anyway.
So what did you peeps think? R&R.
Oh, and just to let you know, I'm really enjoying, righting this story. A lot. I think it's turning out pretty nicely.

Wow! This chapter was pretty good. Way better than my first one I must say. I just changed a few sentences here and there so overall it would be a bit better.
