"Fang..I wouldn't of been disappointed, but now I am disappointed because you lied to me..."
Vanille said softly, Fang felt a stake bury deeper into her chest.
"I'm sorry Vanille...that I let ya down." Fang sighed deeply.
"It's ok we all make mistakes, but next time just tell me the truth I'd much rather hear that."
Fang managed to pull a smile across her lips and nodded. "Okay."
Serah looked back up at Fang playfully. "So you never did tell me who you were going to prom with Fang!" Serah's eyes suggestively darted back and forth between Fang and Vanille during this sentence.
"Uh..." Fang swallowed hard and looked at her non existent watch. "Well gotta get to class!"
With that said Fang took off quickly in the other direction not ready to ask Vanille, if she was going to at all.
"What? Excuses!" Serah folded her arms and shook her head. She found it so painfully obvious they were in love with each other, but neither would own up to it.
Vanille blinked blankly and peered up at Serah. "Well maybe you can find out next class period?" Vanille smiled at Serah optimistically.
"Hey your right I forgot Fang's in my next class! Don't worry Vanille, I'll definitely get her to ask you."
Snow looked at Serah dumbfounded. "Huh you want Fang to ask out Vanille? I thought Fang was into Raines!"
Vanille frowned slightly and looked down at the ground and ponder what if it was true? Fang did seem to be close to him and she knew Raines would flirt with Fang occasionally. She never really thought it over in detail if Fang did have feelings for him.
Serah shot Snow a peeved looking pointing out Vanille's expression. "No way Snow! Her and Vanille like eachother!"
"Oh...well that's not what I heard." Snow scratched back of his head, his eyes wondering to the top of the ceiling where some chewed gum hung overhead. 'Wonder how that got there?" He pondered idly.
"Well what did you hear Snow?" Vanille glanced up at him slightly with eyes full of curiosity.
"Well, Raines, said that him and Fang had kissed and were going to hook up soon."
Vanille felt her heart sink in her chest. She'd had feelings for Fang for so long, and now that Serah had agreed to get them together she felt like she was finally getting somewhere, and now...
"When was this Snow?" Serah wrapped her arms around Vanille to comfort her friend.
"Gee it was like last week. It was after kendo practice."
"I'll ask Fang about it ok, Vanille?" Serah rubbed the shorter girl's head hoping to cheer her up at least a bit.
"A-Alright..." Vanille pulled away from Serah and pointed to the clock. "I better get to class.." She didn't look back and began trotting down the long corridor to her next destination.
"We better go too Snow!" Serah leaned up and pecked her boyfriend's lips.
"Alright baby I'll see you after class."
He winked at her and began walking the other way.
Serah took her seat next to Fang and nudged her elbow.
"Huh what is it Serah?"
Serah tossed her a paper note and turned her attention back to the teacher.
'Do you like Cid Raines?'
Fang quickly shot back a reply with her pencil and tossed it back to Serah's desk. The teacher was too into his lecture to notice.
'No. I like someone else. Why?'
Serah sighed in relief, relieved that Vanille would soon be rid of her heart ache.
'Well do you like Vanille?'
Serah subtly slide the note back on Fang's desk. Fang glanced down at the text and felt the heat rise in her cheeks. How did Serah know? She didn't even tell anyone! Fang wasn't sure what to reply, Serah looked over in amusement at Fang's reluctance to answer back. The raven head scribbled something quickly and pushed it back to Serah.
'Yeah but how did you know?'
Serah smirked while writing her reply and traded the paper back
'It's pretty obvious Fang."
Mr. Rosch swiped the note out of Fang's hand's and smiled. "Is this something I should share with the class Fang? It sure seems important."
Fang had a look of panic on her face and shook her hands wildly in protest. "No way! It's not important at all!"
Rosch crumbled the paper into his fist and tosses into the trash can. "Then pay attention! You are failing aren't you?"
The other students in the class began to chuckle much to Fang's embarrassment. She looked down at her desk angrily.
"Yes sir I am."
Rosch slammed a pile of papers on her desk and smirked. "Then complete this assignments by tomorrow and do the extra credit project due next week. Even you should be able to pass by then."
Fang clenched her fists tightly and nodded. It always pissed her off when the snotty nosed teachers made her look like a total idiot in front of the entire class. Just cause she had been slacking lately didn't mean she was stupid. Throughout her years at the academy Fang had always made straight A's. Her work was always turned in on time, and her test scores were always some of the highest in the class. Heck, she even used to be early to kendo everyday. She was quite dependable and always training other students.
Lightning thought those qualities were quite admirable and asked Fang to be her vice captain. Fang had never took her position for granted and always did her best to look good for the other team members. She was highly admired and looked up to in the academy. However once she hit senior year she just got lazier and quit trying. She had already been accepted into Eden University and felt no need to give it her all anymore.
Now that her grades were at an all time low and she had lost her position in kendo she was certain it was about time to start trying again. She was ready to live back up to the name she had since last year. She was ready to show everyone that such wasn't a failure. She wanted to show Lightning she deserved to be vice captain, she want Jihl off her back, she wanted to show up Rosch, and most of all she wanted to be a better example for Vanille.
Her eyes gazed over the text on the pile of worksheets, she pulled out her textbooks and began to get to work. Time passed quickly, before she had knew she had already gone through three worksheets with only two more left, plus the project. The bell had sounded off and Fang slipped the papers into her bag. She was finally serious about school again and actually felt proud. She exited the class only to be followed by Serah who tapped her shoulder.
"He was sure a jerk to you huh?"
"Yeah, well I'll show him. Just watch."
Fang give Serah a cocky confident grin. Serah hadn't seen Fang give one of those in quite a while. She felt relieved that it seemed Fang was getting her confidence back. Vanille had told Serah that Fang's failing was concerning her.
"Well, going to ask Vanille to prom now?"
"W-Wha? I..."
"Come on you know you want too!"
Serah pushed Fang forwards hoping that they'd bump into Vanille, instead Fang bumped straight into Raine's chest.
"Hello Fang I heard about what happened in kendo this morning."
Serah frowned to see him, and saw Vanille watching from behind the corner. Serah motioned her over, but Vanille quickly walked away. Serah wondered why she had done this, but maybe Vanille thought Serah was trying to Fang with Cid? If she had been watching the whole time it would look like it. Serah sighed and chased after her friend.
"Yeah...I messed up big time."
"Seems like that's all you do lately."
Fang growled lowly and glared up at the taller man. "You trying to start something with me Raines?"
Raines snatched her by the wrist using it to pull her into his arms, snaking her arm around her waist. "I want you to go to prom with me."
At that moment Serah had returned with Vanille, Vanille's heart stopped witnessing what she had feared most. Serah eyes widened in disbelief, Fang told her she liked Vanille, so what was she doing with Raines!
Fang pulled away quickly, slugging Raines in the face. "Like hell I would!"
Cid stared at her momentarily and shrugged. "Fine then, don't."
He exited the scene quickly disappearing down corridior silently.
Serah and Vanille looked up at Fang who looked at them back in return.
"Sorry you had to see that..."
"It's ok I mean you didn't want him on you." Serah nudged Vanille to speak up.
"Yeah I didn't. Sorry if I scared ya squirt." Fang rubbed Vanille's head affectionately which was returned with a short hug.
"Well Fang don't you have something you wanna ask Vanille?" Serah elbowed Fang in the side which caused Fang to freeze up.
"What did you wanna ask Fang?" Vanille asked innocently pretending not to know at all.
Fang's face turned a shade of crimson and she swallowed hard. "Guess I gotta get this over with or Serah won't let me live it down."
Serah giggled a bit. "I'll leave you two alone." She winked and quickly fled the scene.
Vanille felt a blush envelop her face.
"Go on." She smiled at Fang brightly, eagerly awaiting the question.
"Will you..."
"Will I?"
"Go to p-porn with me!"
"Porn?"
"PROM I MEAN PROM!"
Fang's face with a million shades of red for saying 'porn' instead of prom. Seems she had gotten a little to nervous and spat out something else that was lingering on her mind.
"I-I don't know about going to see porn with you...but I will go to prom with you!" Vanille blushed happily finally getting confirmation that her crush did indeed like her back.
Fang's face flushed more at that thought of them watching...porn together.
"AHAHA Well uhh...ya know I don't watch porn!" Fang laughed loudly with a perverted look plastered on her face.
"I didn't say you did." Vanille looked at her blankly, wondering if Fang had really meant porn instead of prom.
"Uh umm...w-what should I wear to prom?" Fang hoped changing the subject would make Vanille forget that porn was ever even mentioned.
Vanilled put a finger to her a lip and imagined Fang in a big pink frilly dress and giggled. Fang looked at her confused and nervous.
"Hmm well that boy's uniform suits you pretty well...maybe you should wear a tuxedo or something." Vanille thought Fang would look quite handsome in a suit or something of the sort, seeing as she was the one who was going to be sporting a dress.
"Well if that's what you want I'll do it."
Vanille pulled Fang into a squeeze and lingered there for a moment before pulling away.
"While me and Serah are looking at dresses you can pick out a tux with Snow!"
Fang groaned at the thought of being stuck with Snow for a few hours, but nodded happily for Vanille not wanting to upset her.
"Yeah sounds like a perfect idea!"
