Holy… 13 reviews for one chapter? I didn't think anyone would like it that much! Wow, I was half asleep when I wrote it too (And of course it happens when I was planning a one-shot) and I still got load of reviews. Okay, since so many reviewed I'll continue the story. There's going to be a plot line by the way. I just want to say one more thing…

OMG Fullmetal Alchemist is over! What the heck am I going to watch on Saturday now? Sigh, if I owned FMA it wouldn't be over yet…

Ed & You

Chapter 2

By SakuraSagura

By the time () got home it was already 4 o'clock. She unlocked the door to their apartment and walked in. There was a note on the table in front of the couch.

Dear (),

Mama's out with the gurls 2night! Have fun and do your homework. Supper is in da fridge. Go to bed by 10.

Luv ur Mama

"Mom is so creepy when she tries to fit in with this century…" () said to herself before putting the note back down. She set her backpack down on the couch and took out her books. Homework, homework, homework, and, of course, more homework! Why were teachers so evil? "I might as well get it over with." () half whined. She picked up a book entitled 'The works of Shakespeare.'

She read through what she had to. Wrote what she had to even quicker. She than stuffed it back in her backpack. This went on for about two hours till () was done. Well, all but her composition.

"That was horrible." () moaned as she stood up. Her knees and back hurt horribly from staying in one position for so long. She went to change.

"What should I wear?" () asked herself happily while looking through the small closet. She pulled out a light – shirt and – shorts. She stripped off her sweaty school uniform and put on the clean clothing. This was much better! She sat down on her – bed and tied her sneakers. There were posters on the white walls. They ranged from bands to anime characters. She made sure all the lights were off before locking the door behind her.

Where should I jog? She asked herself as she looked down the sidewalk. () decided on the park. The place where she and Ed had talked, she had failed even then. ()'s head received an anger mark. Why am I so stupid? Why can't I just tell him that I like him? She thought to herself as she continued jogging passed many stores and houses. She slowed down when she came to a secure district. Only the rich were able to live here. And no 'commoner', as Sheska and () sometimes called themselves, were aloud in unless someone inside let them inside. She stopped in front of the tall barred gate. () walked up to the bars, grabbed them, and peered inside.

This is where Edward lives, right? She frowned. He's rich and popular. Apparently he has a great family and perfect grades too! () turned her – eyes away from the gate and continued down the sidewalk. She was a bit jealous. Why did some people get to be born with everything and some had to work their whole lives just to slip up? () was soon passed the rich side of town and nearing the park. The sidewalk she was on split into a 4-way intersection and she stopped. Cars were going in and out and it looked like it wouldn't end soon. () waited over 5 minutes till she could even dare to think of crossing. Once she was done running for her life she slowed down. She was at the park. () strolled in passed the flowers and trees that lined the outside of the square.

"Hey, you're (), right?" Someone called from over by the swings. () turned to see a little boy standing on a swing with long black hair and big eyes. He was wearing a green shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers. She knew she had seen him somewhere before but she could place her finger on it.

"Yes that's me." She called back to the boy. He smiled and jumped off the swing and ran over to ().

"Do you remember me?" He asked excitedly. () said she remembered seeing him but couldn't quite remember where. "I lived at the meat shop!" He said and talked about how () had come in to buy something and the boy had helped her take it home.

"Oh, I remember you! Your name is Wrath right?" () asked enthusiastically while wondering who in their right mind would name a child 'wrath'. Then she remembered that her teacher, Izumi, had a child.

"Yep my name is Wrath." He smiled and grabbed her hand with his left. "Come on let's go swing!" He pulled her along.

"You're Mrs. Curtis's son, aren't you?" () asked suddenly when Wrath showed her the swings. Wrath looked shocked for a moment before screaming,

"She's not my mom!"

"Oh, all right then." () said, startled by his outburst. He sat down in the swing next to () and muttered,

"I'm running away to go live with my real mommy." He didn't look at () but she looked at Wrath.

"But Mrs. Curtis is your mom."

"She is not! I hate her! I hate her! I-"() placed her hand over his mouth so that he wouldn't make more people look his way. Once Wrath quieted down () asked,

"Why do you hate Mrs. Curtis? And where would you go if you didn't have her?" She waited for Wrath to respond. He told her almost immediately.

"You people are so stupid! You don't even…" He stopped, eyes wide, and shook his head as if to get something out. Wrath continued harshly, "I hate her because she made me. And I'm going to live with Sloth." () stared at Wrath like he was mutating.

"You were born from Izumi and you hate her for that?"

"You have no idea…" Wrath turned his head. They sat in silence before Wrath looked back over at () with a smile and said, "Want to see who can swing higher?"

() agreed and started. By the time Wrath was almost ready to flip over he asked if next she wanted to see who could jump farthest. (), who had stopped in order to watch Wrath better laughed,

"Okay, but I got to warn you I'm pretty good at-"Her eyes went wide when she heard a scream. It was Mrs. Curtis. She was calling for Wrath to get off the swing. The boy glared down at his mom.

"I'm not going with you!" Wrath yelled. () was relieved that there wasn't anybody in the park but the three of them at the moment. She looked at her watch. It read 7:45. She had been out for almost two hours playing and talking with this little boy!

"Wrath, come down please." Izumi said in a motherly tone. She was walking passed () and in front of Wrath just enough that he couldn't hit her.

"No!" Wrath screamed and, before () knew it, Wrath had jumped out of his swing and went running over to the slide.

"Nice seeing you." Izumi sighed before running after Wrath. () just sat there and watched her teacher run after the hyper boy. Wrath was on top of the slide and Izumi was under it waiting for him. She called for him to come down. When he didn't she clapped her hands and touched the slide. A light flashed. () wondered what she was doing. The metal under Wrath's feet cracked and he fell into her arms. ()'s eyes were wide as she stared at the two. She stood up and ran out of the park. That wasn't normal, whatever it was. She didn't stop when the intersection came. Someone honked and lights flared all around ()

"Eeya!" She screamed and braced herself for impact. It didn't come. She opened her eyes, shielded them with her hand to see past the light, and stared.

"What are you doing?" Came an agitated reply to the frightened girl, () said sorry and ran passed the honking cars all the way back to her house.

When she shut the door she dashed into her bed room and pulled a diary out from under her bed. She wrote from the time of breakfast all the way to running back home. Out of breath she laid back on her bed.

"What is going on?"

The next morning () was running to school. She had over slept again. ()'s mom had come home all drunk last night. She also had a major hang over this morning and kept trying to make () stay home. Her uniform had wrinkles in it and she hadn't felt like ironing last night after the 'incident'. By the time she had gotten through the gate onto school grounds the bell rang.

"Barely made it…" () heaved and made another mad dash to her locker. She quickly adjusted everything and then ran for class.

The day felt rushed and almost intolerable. () did not want to see Mrs. Curtis today. She was scared of that teacher now more than ever. By the time lunch came () jerked at every word said to her.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Sheska asked while she ate her sandwich. () jumped and blew into her milk bottle. The milk returned and splashed her in the face.

"No, do you have a napkin?" () asked miserably. Sheska handed her several and () began cleaning her face.

"Something's bothering you. Tell me what it is." () friend ordered. () sighed and said that she couldn't handle the truth. "Try me." Was Sheska's reply. () gave into her and began her story.

"-and then I shut my door. See? I told you that you wouldn't believe me." () finished and stared at Sheska. She sat there, eyes wide and mouth open, gaping at her French fries.

"Oh no…"

"What is it?"

"N-nothing! Nothing at all!"

"You think I'm crazy, don't you?"

"Not at all, in fact, I believe every word!" Sheska assured () and raised her hands in a fending off position. () frowned and sighed before eating her meal. Lunch was almost over. While she was eating her dessert anelbow rested on her shoulder. () looked up at Edward. He was in school uniform and was resting his left arm on her.

"Hey, you were awful jumpy in math today. I mean, you screamed bloody murder when Mr. Falman asked you a simple quistion." Edward said while looking down at her. () moved her shoulder so he'd get off.

"Yeah… I had a…" She glanced at Sheska, who was looking at her, and then back at Edward. "A very odd night yesterday." She finished dryly. Edward folded his arms and raised an eyebrow. He wasn't looking at () but Sheska.

"How odd?" He inquired before sitting down by (). Sheska suddenly was very interested in her lunch. () shrugged and replied,

"It was odd enough to get jumpy over." Edward turned his head away and gazed at everyone in the lunch room.

"I have to go. I just remembered I have to tell Alphonse something." He got up and walked over to the other side of the lunch room. Was it just () or did Edward seem just as jumpy now?

I can't believe how popular this was in the first chapter. Let's see how many review now, shall we? I won't update till I get enough reviews. Hopefully I'll see you all soon!
