October 22nd

"Wake up!"

Dark slammed a pillow over his head and shut his eyes tightly. If he just ignored it he wouldn't fully wake up. He liked the feeling of sleep, and didn't want to let it go.

"Wake up!"

He pulled the pillow tighter and tried to think of something else. Breakfast, maybe. Mmm…a few fresh, hot pancakes drenched in maple syrup with a side of honey bacon. The teen's mouth watered at the thought. If only he would get up and go to the kitchen…

"Wake up!"

Dark sighed and rolled onto his back. Maybe getting up was a good idea. He did need to get to school, after all. School…he looked around his room and finally realized where he was. School! He was in his new bedroom and was going to a new school! Ha! How had he forgotten?

"Wake up!"

Slamming his voice recorded alarm to a stop, Dark jumped up and hopped over to his closet. He was going to school! He'd have English (boring!) and Drama, where he'd get to find out his part in the play! Then, he'd have History (oh, how he wished that wasn't mandatory), and Chemistry (YAY! Possible explosions!)! Then Lunch, Maths, Physical Education, French, and Wilderness! God, today was going to be the best!

Dark scrambled out and into his clothes, and ran downstairs to take a quick shower. Glancing at the clock, he realized he wouldn't have time to dry his hair if he didn't want to be late. He'd have to skip breakfast too, he decided. The teen brushed his teeth and ran out the door right before the clock struck eight. It was a half an hour walk to Eminar High, and school started at eight thirty!

English had been the most boring subject ever, just as Dark had suspected. He had fallen asleep! Could you believe that? Dark Mousey, the most alert, awake, energetic –and gorgeous, he added- student in the universe, had fallen asleep! He hadn't noticed this, of course, until a just-as-bored Krad had woken him up after the bell (which he had somehow slept through).

"Okay, now that you're all here, I'm going to announce each of your parts in the production."

Dark snapped out of it when he heard the teacher announce this. Finally! He had been waiting an entire –he glanced at the clock- five minutes! Sheesh! Consideration, please?

"I'll start off with the lower cast…"

Just to piss us off, Dark mentally added. He was obviously going to be the main part, so why listen to pointless chitchat, when he could be…doodling! Grabbing a pencil and flipping over a sheet of paper, the teen began drawing a cat. Eyes…ears…a little bit of fluff…what the hell! It looked like a retarded iguana! Sighing, he shoved his artwork to the side. Even though he enjoyed stealing drawings, he wasn't very good at doing it himself-

HOLY CRAP! Dark nearly jumped ten feet when he thought that. No. He couldn't think such obvious things as that. If there were any magic users around, they would have heard him. He couldn't risk such things! He was doing a good thing, yes, sealing the artwork, but if-

AAARGH! The teen slammed his head against the desk. He would concentrate on something else. Maybe Krad would want to talk? Looking over at the theatre seat beside him, he saw that the person in question was fast asleep, head falling to the side slightly, and a bit of hair fallen into his face. Okay, Dark decided, Krad was definitely an angel. What else could look that heavenly? But…

He couldn't help that notice he had a dangerous aura about him. Oh, but he liked that. Dark grinned sinisterly as he considered waking him up. There would be so many fun and evil ways to snap the angel out of his slumber.

"And now for the main rolls…"

Krad's eyes fluttered open, and his head snapped straight. Dark nearly laughed at the angel's expression when he realized he had been sleeping.

"I know this is going to be slightly unexpected," the director continued, "but the two main parts are both boys. I just couldn't decide which of them would win –and none off the girls were that good, either- ahem…the two main parts will be played as…Dark and Krad! May I have a word with the two of you, in my office, please?"

Dark grinned and nudged Krad, who looked as though he might fall asleep again. The angel jumped slightly, but realized what had just happened and straightened his composure. Dark stretched his arms forward a bit, then stood up and followed the other main boy to one of the back rooms.

"Dark! Krad!" the director began as the two sat down on rather worn looking leather chairs, "You two are the most fabulous actors I have ever seen!"

Dark looked over at Krad, who seemed unaffected by the news.

"That's why I couldn't choose which one of you should have the main part. Now, I know you're both fully aware of the fact that there are –ahem- love scenes, and that's why I'm giving you the choice of either staying or one of you grabbing a lower roll. I'm not forcing you into the spot, either, but, just maybe, if you take the main parts, your grades might miraculously shoot up! You two decide while I go…er…take care of some business."

The director rushed out of the room and Dark immediately said, "I'm staying."

Krad grunted and stared him down, "Sorry, but I'm taking that main part."

Dark grinned and laughed a little, "I'm not saying you're not. I'm just saying you're the girl."

"W-what?"

The dark teen's smile grew even larger, his laughter threatening to return, "I'm definitely one of the main leads, and if you want to be one too, you're going to have to suck up your pride and do the love scenes with me."

He mentally sighed. There was no possible way Krad was going to be the girl, with him as the guy. He had only known him for a day, yes, but something about him just screamed 'There's no way I'm doing love scenes with you!' And all of the girls were such bad actors…

"Fine."

"Huh?" it was Dark's turn to be dumbstruck.

"I said fine. As much as I don't want to be tied up and stuck in a small dark room with you, as a theatre full of people watch, I need the experience." Krad paused and quickly added, "of acting!

Suddenly, the door burst open and the director shuffled back in. He gave them a questioning look and opened his mouth to say something.

"He's the girl!" Dark burst out, as he pointed towards Krad.

The angel gasped and glared back. He had obviously been about to say the exact same thing. Hahaha! His evil plan hadn't turned out!

The director looked surprised, delighted, and slightly disturbed at the same time, "As awkward as that may be, at least I'll have my two favourite actors!"

Dark was surprised he didn't come over and pinch their cheeks.

"I have a slightly altered version of the script here to make Krad's part a little…less feminine. Here they are…" he handed each of them an enormously thick booklet, "They're a bit long, and you have to have the first quarter memorized by tomorrow morning, so I decided to have a little chat with your History professor. If you guys don't mind, he said you could skip class to practice memo-"

"Yes!" Dark burst out his answer.

The director smiled.

"Then I should be going. My next class is starting to arrive."

Huh, Dark thought as the professor scurried out of the room. He hadn't even asked for Krad's answer. Shrugging, he looked over at the angel, who happened to be reading the script already.

"Are you done memorizing it yet?" the dark teen asked hurriedly. Maybe it would be all act, no say…

"The first line, yes." Krad replied icily.

"Hey! No need to be so bitter! You'll be seeing a lot more of me from now on!" Dark grinned as he opened his script.

Suddenly, his face fell. Nearly half of the first page was highlighted, signalling all he had to memorize, and why the angel's response had been so icy. Sighing, he stood up. There was no turning back.

"Today, class, we will attempt a making at the mixture you see here, Fasdefaa (random name, sorry if it means something)! I have placed the ingredients you need in front of you, and the directions are there as well. Your partner is whoever sits beside you. Begin!"

Cautiously, Dark looked over beside him. He had forgotten who sat beside him. Could it possibly be…? Yes! Of course! The angel! Krad! Whatever! He seemed to be in every one of his classes! That was great, yes, but it was too weird of a coincidence. Had someone planned this?

"So you're my partner, eh, Krad?" he said, with a big smile.

"That is what the professor said, Dark." Ah, as blunt as ever.

Sighing, the dark teen looked down at the directions. They were all so confusing! And what the hell were moss slippers!

"Er…by the way, I'm not the best at chemistry, but I'll try to manage! I'll say sorry in advance for any retarded screw-ups I may cause!" he said.

Krad eyed him for a moment, then sighed in frustration.

"You're not good at much, are you?"

WHAT? NOT GOOD AT MUCH? Dark was pretty much the best at everything!…Just not chemistry…

"Hey! What are you talking about? You know that I'm a professional at everything else! You've seen me! Experienced the tension, the cunning, the charm! THE PERFECTION!" he said dramatically.

Krad looked thoughtful for a second, then his face flushed.

One of the girls had heard part of his words. "Ew, Dark. What the hell did you do with Krad?" she asked.

Dark laughed nervously, realizing what he had said, "Not like that. Sheesh…"

"Anyway," Krad butt in, "let's get started on what we were doing. You add that to that, and…"

BOOM!

The flask exploded.

"You know, Dark…you really suck at chemistry." Dark was told by about the eighteenth person that day.

"I get it! I get it! Just don't remind me again!"

The teen sighed and walked over to Krad, who hadn't complained once about their extremely short and not-very-productive chemistry class since lunch, where he had told Dark to just sit back and watch next time.

Immediately, his dark mood was shaken off. He was going to be partners with the angel. He looked to be strong enough for the excruciating tasks ahead…and Dark really didn't mind being arm in arm to him.

Snickering, he ran up from behind the boy and whispered in his ear, "Guess what?"

Krad stiffened in surprise and looked back.

"You're my partner…AGAIN!"

Dark rested his chin on the angel's shoulder, knowing full well that it was causing him much discomfort. It was fun that way. He could control him then. He wrapped his arms around the slim waist, and leaned further in.

"Is everyone changed?" the Phys. Ed. Instructor asked, walking to the front of the group. She immediately glanced over at the two boys. "Dark, stop molesting Krad."

The entire class burst out laughing, causing two very embarrassed boys to scoot to the back of the class.

"Anyway," the teacher continued, "Today you will all get into pairs of your own choosing, and climb the ropes to the gym roof. After this, you will change into your bathing suits, do a few laps, and then practise a bit of CPR. Ready?"

There was a long pause.

"Then GO!"

Dark led Krad to one of the ropes near the corner, and watched his ass as he climbed up…I MEAN HIM!

In less than five minutes, the angel had gone up and down the rope, not faltering nor hesitating all the way. Dark, on the other hand, happened to be bad at one other thing then chemistry. Climbing with people watching.

"Krad," he whispered, "I can't climb when people are watching."

The angel sighed and looked straight into his eyes, "Well, try, at least."

"But what if I fall?"

Simple. He would grow wings and fly to the ground out of instinct. That was what he didn't want to happen, though. There was always a bad part to having wings…

"Then I'll catch you." The angel replied wearily.

"Do you-"

"I promise." Krad pressed, obviously getting agitated.

Smiling in approval, Dark carefully tested the rope, and began his VERY slow climb to the top. Well, it wasn't really to the top…

The teen looked up from his spot at halfway up the rope. Everything was fine. Looking down, he saw the slightly smaller version of his classmates, all watching him below…Everything was-

HOLY CRAP! EVERY FRIGGIN SINGLE PERSON WAS WATCHING HIM! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!

Going totally insane, Dark dropped the rope and began to fall. Whoops! That was a mistake, he realized halfway down, trying to calm himself at the same time adrenaline threatened to make him sprout wings.

Maybe that might be a good idea, though…

All thoughts were cut off from his mind as he hit something hard. Not the ground, no…the ground would be much harder. Looking up, he saw Krad watching him mockingly, eyes half open, a slight pout on his lips.

Refraining himself from latching onto the angel like a lifeboat, he let himself be lowered to the ground.

"Why'd you fall? No one was watching." He heard him say.

"But…" Dark stuttered, "I saw them! Or…"

Averting his eyes to his other classmates, he saw that had actually been watching their own climbers. How foolish of him. He was just so paranoid. Dark tried to shake his uneasiness off.

"Well, thanks for the catch! Now let's go for a swim."
