Chapter 6
If looks could kill…

Eric had made it through Chemistry without any mishaps but near the end, his lab partner, Sora, decided to screw with a few chemicals causing both boys' eye brows and eye lashes to fringe. They laughed at one another and Mr. Kasich freaked and would have given them both detentions had it not been for the eye brow and lashes being fringed. Sora and Eric laughed again as they walked into the cafeteria to find half was inside and the other in a courtyard. Eric's jaw dropped, his old school, you had assigned seating and were stuck inside.

"If you keep your jaw like that it will stick," came a sly voice from behind them. Sora turned to stare at Eric and laughed even more causing tears to come out at the corners of his eyes. Eric punched him in the arm and turned to see Cloud smiling right in his face. Eric squealed and fell on his butt causing a few near by girls to giggle. Kairi was one of them. Leon was behind Cloud and had his face screwed up trying not to laugh. Eric rolled his eyes and got up. He brushed off his clothes and glared, "That was cruel mean and evil all on one."

Cloud smiled and walked away. Leon sighed and decided to follow the blonde for his own protection.

"So let's show you around," Sora pointed out all the cliques. Eric rolled his eyes at most and saw where he, Riku, Kairi, Yuffie, Aerith, and Cloud and Leon sat. They had room for one more person and Eric stole that seat. As he set everything aside it hit him.

"MY BOOK," Eric screams. Sora stops eating and raises and eyebrow. Kairi looks at him with that look that says, You over react way too much, and if looks could kill Eric would have died from Yuffie's.

"Oh you mean this leather bond book," Riku's voice came close to Eric's ear that he could feel the warm breath on his neck. Then a leather bond book was placed on his lap. "Guess you're next to me for the rest of the year." Riku shot a look at the other occupants whom busied themselves with eating or talking.

Eric raised an eyebrow, "What is that suppose to mean?" When he got no answer he decided to drop it. Eric decided to tell his friends the good news, "I'm trying out for the Blitzball team." Everyone at the table stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Eric like he was mad. Cloud nudged Leon in the side and Leon cleared his throat.

"Well we don't just take people in," Leon started. "We, that is Cloud and myself, look at players and with Coach Merlin, we decide who actually gets to play and who just sits for substitution."

Eric just smiled, "Well, then I'll just have to show you what I can do then won't I?" Cloud clapped his hands and looked at Riku in a knowing type of way. Riku shot him a glare. Yuffie giggled along with Aerith and Sora just gave that goofy grin of his. They all knew something and Eric just bit his bottom lip. He was out of the loop and wanted in.

"What's so funny?"

"…" Aerith.

"…" Yuffie.

"…" Sora.

"Well…" Eric.

"…" Cloud.

"…" Leon.

"..nothing, inside joke!" Riku broke the insane silence and got up to leave. Eric grabbed his pants by the belt loop and forced him to sit. Riku looked at Eric with surprise and anger. Eric had a look in his eyes that could kill too.

"Tell me or I swear, I won't talk to any of you guys," Eric was taking a chance with this. They didn't need him, he needed them, and if they got mad at him they could just go back to the way their once were, a place without Eric A. LeConis.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"OH FOR GOSH SAKES," Eric got up and started to stalk off when he tripped over his seat and fell flat on his face. Everyone in the whole world saw this trip, and laughed. Eric got up, and with what little pride he had left he held back the tears and brushed himself off, he grabbed his books glared at his table with trembling eyes and left the cafeteria followed by harsh cruel laughter.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"You are moving because you have disgraced the family name with your antics," Alex's mother's harsh voice replied. "You and, and your love life have discourage many a people, and your father and I think it best that you go away for a while."

"But mother," Alex started.

"NO, I will hear none of it! You are being sent to the lower city of Angelus and stay there until you finish school, we have you enrolled in a private school for magic and Arcane. That is final!"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Eric sobbed at the stall he was sitting on; he wanted to be back at Destiny High, with Tidus, Waka, and Selphie. He wanted to be with his best friend and almost lover, Shade. Shade had made him laugh when he was like this. Eric heard the door to the bathroom open and he didn't care he still cried.

"…Eric…" That sounded like Shade!

"…ya?" Eric replied. If it was Shade he say don't you ya me!

"Are you okay?" Nope not Shade, it had to be Sora.

"Ya, I'm fine," Eric wiped his eyes and shut his book and opened the stall to find himself face to face with someone he didn't even know. "Who are you?" The guy looked just like Shade, black hair, black gothic pants, tight black shirt, short black hair that was spiked everywhere. He was around Eric's height, the same as Shade even, and same body build, someone that worked out but didn't over do it.

"Oh the names Zack," Zack held out his hand. "I'm in Chemistry and English with you…and I think I am in History with you too. I saw what happened and—"

"If you come to gloat," Eric cut him off sharply. "Then you might as well go drowned yourself in the urinal!" Eric shoved past him only for a strong hand to rest on his shoulder and stop him.

"That was rude," came the nasty reply. Sounded like something Shade would say. "I haven't come to gloat, I've come to say well, forget it!" Zack let go of Eric's shoulder and pushed passed Eric. Eric placed his hand on his shoulder causing the other boy to go rigid.

"…I'm sorry, this is just my first day here and already I made a fool of myself," came Eric's soft reply.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Riku was standing outside the door and listening silently to the conversation.

"It's okay," that was Zack, what was he doing talking to the new kid unless. NO, Riku thought to himself. "Ya know you are kind of cute, almost like I know you from somewhere."

Riku went red with anger then he heard Eric's reply, "I'm sorry but I know your type, you come and play the hero and then you leave them stranded on false love! Do not even try it you…" SLAP!

Riku burst into the bathroom to see Eric on the floor covering the side of his face, fresh tears streaming down his face.
