Chapter Two: He Hates Him
There was a fact that almost every student in Yggdrasil Academy knew. It was that Lloyd Irving hated Zelos Wilder. Lloyd found that Zelos was an awful person. For as all the student in Yggdrasil Academy also knew that Zelos had gone out with almost every girl in the academy. Lloyd, and of course all the students at Yggdrasil Academy, would see Zelos with some cute girl. About a week later you would see that cute girl in tears somewhere on the campus. The reason that cute girl would be in tears was because the playboy had dumped her. Zelos had a new girlfriend every week or two. Now Lloyd was a pretty sympathetic person and to see all these girls getting their hearts broken made him angry. Though what made him angrier was that girls kept dating him even though they knew that in a a week or two they would be crying their eyes out. It made absolutely no sense to Lloyd. Right now Zelos was going after one of the academy's most beautiful girls, Sheena Fujibayashi. Sheena was unlike the other girls though. She wouldn't just coming running if the redhead snapped his fingers. The strong willed girl had rejected him at least five times, but Zelos just kept trying. Lloyd figured that she knew that she would be one of those girls that he just threw away, which was probably right. So, when Lloyd saw Zelos when he walked through the doors of the school building and saw the redhead he naturally glared at him. Until his glaring was broken by a certain blond girl falling over.
"Ow...," the blond whined. Lloyd extended his hands and helped her get back on her feet.
"Hey Colette, are you... okay?" Lloyd asked in a concerned voice. The blond girl let out an angelic smile.
"Yea Lloyd, I'm fine!" she said before tightly hugging him. Genis and Mithos both smacked their own foreheads in unison. Colette was an extremely clumsy person. She was always falling or tripping of something. Klutz was practically Colette Brunel's middle name. If you had to count how many times she had tripped or broken something on accident you would probably have a number in the millions. Over the years of most of friends had gotten used to it. Not many people minded Colette's clumsiness, they figured that you have to take the good with the bad. On the good side, Colette was an optimist, she cared deeply for her friends, she had this angelic aura around her 24/7, she rarely ever got mad at anyone, and she was just a sweet girl overall. On the bad side, she always hid her true feelings, she was a pushover, and she was always falling or breaking something.
"Well, me and Mithos should be going to our first class, it's a long ways away from here," Genis said, waving goodbye to Lloyd and Colette before walking away with Mithos.
"I guess I'm lucky that my first class is so close by," the blond said, smiling.
"Yeah, less walking for you. I hate having to walk so much to get to all of my classes," Lloyd said with a sigh.
"Hey there! Colette!" a voice called out. Both Lloyd and Colette looked over to see Zelos walking over to them with a big grin on his face.
"Oh, hi Zelos! What is it?" Colette asked in her innocent little voice.
"You're in my math class right?" Zelos asked.
"Yep," the angelic girl answered.
"Then could you please be my math partner for our new assignment?" the playboy asked, using what seemed to be puppy eyes. Now even though Zelos was in a higher grade than Colette, the blond was very smart and took classes that seniors had.
"Oh, sure," Colette said. When the blond said those words Lloyd could just feel the anger inside him growing. Zelos had hit on Colette many times, though she didn't seem to notice it.
"Great! Then do you wanna' walk to class together?" Zelos asked, smoothly.
"That sounds fine," Colette kissed Lloyd on the cheek and walked away with Zelos. Lloyd could see that the redhead was smirking at him. The brunet sighed to himself and decided to let it go. Colette wouldn't leave him for Zelos... right? A large ringing noise was heard throughout the hallways. Lloyd heard it and rushed over to his first class, English. During English Lloyd would usually nap or daydream. The teacher would never notice, he was too busy droning on about things that they had gone over millions of times. Not a single person in the class probably payed attention. The brunet daydreamed about their next break, when he could sleep in until 2 PM. Thatwould be what he usually daydreamed about, that or spending time with Colette and Genis. A tap on the shoulder brought Lloyd out of his daydreams.
"Read it and pass it down," the girl next to him whispered while handing Lloyd a crumpled note.
'Is Zelos going after that Colette girl or Sheena? ' is what the note had written on it. Under that sentence was a list of responses, most of them saying that he was going after both. Mumbling something under his breath Lloyd tossed the note into a waste bin, which was conveniently close to his desk. This action earned him a glare from girl who had given him the note.
'Even when he's not here that stupid redhead still finds a way to get me angry,' Lloyd thought to himself. The rest of English went by fast for Lloyd. Though his next class was one that he dreaded the most. Math. Lloyd was horrible at all types of math algebra, geometry, trig, you name it. Maybe it was caused by the fact that in middle school he never payed attention to the teachers, Lloyd thought that math was pretty pointless. If it were not for Genis always doing his projects for him he would have an F in math instead of a D+. Class started off with the teacher passing back the tests that the class had taken the previous week. At the top was Lloyd's score.
4 out of 30.
Lloyd slammed his head down on his desk, cursing under his breath. The whole time class was going on the only thing Lloyd could think about was how Raine was going to kill him when she saw his test. Raine was a professor at a prestigious college and most of her friends were other teachers and professors. Lloyd's current math teacher, Martel Willows, was one of Raine's best friends. So, it was no use trying to hide the test from her. When the bell rang the teacher called out,
"Lloyd, could you please stay an extra minute?" Mrs. Willows asked in a sweet but firm voice.
"Uh, sure," Lloyd responded. He knew it was probably something about his test grade.
"Well, I can not help but notice that your grades in my class are... not that good," she said, brushing a lock of bright green hair out of her face.
"So I was thinking that I could get you a tutor, would you like that?" Mrs. Willows continued. Now what Lloyd wanted to say was something along the lines of "No I really, really don't!" but what he knew he had to say was,
"Yeah, that would be fine."
"Oh good! I have already found someone, he is a senior and he has perfect grades in his math classes," she said before sitting down and typing something on her laptop.
"I've sent a message to the office to let him know about tutoring you," there was a pause, "I am sure that he will have no problems with the idea."
Lloyd suppressed the urge to sigh and then asked, "So, what's his name?"
The teacher looked at the computer screen and then at Lloyd.
"His name is... Zelos Wilder."

Well there's chapter 2. As for Martel's last name I thought of her hair color, green, then of trees, and then of willow trees. ; so I guess that's Mithos's last name too...

StarGuy: Thank you for the support it means a lot to me!
The.Clouds.Silver.Lining: I'll try to update as much as possible. Honestly I like the high school setting too. Yea I think I might add some twists to the whole Kratos marrying Raine situation, still don't know. Thank you for the review!
Metomorcy: I actually have realized these problems myself when reading over my writing. I'm still new at writing and trying to get the hang of it. Thank you for the synonym idea, I think it will help me. As for the beginning of the sentences I'm trying to fix that problem now. I hope that my writing will get better as I write more. Thank you for the review and critique!
