Heartless Chapter 2: F.E.A.R Meets DMC
"Hey Lauraaaa!" Rena exclaimed and hugged her friend's sleeping form.
"What, what, I'm up!" Laura said yanking her friend off her.
Laura sat up and Rena sat on her bedside with a big smile on her face.
Laura sighed and remembered that today was the day DMC arrived; she got up and took a shower before getting dressed. Rena greeted her again with a grin and the two made their way out of the dormitory to meet the others at the cafeteria.
As they walked Rena would talk about random things and Laura would just listen, eventually Laura got bored and then stopped listening completely.
"Ouch!" She yelped and turned to meet the gaze of a man in his mid thirties with long sideburns that stretched up to his beard, only his chin and part of his cheeks were visible, his hair was up in a wild manner and he wore a normal jeans and t shirt with a jacket.
"Logan!" She exclaimed in shock. He looked at her and smiled.
"What's up, kid?" He grinned. She grunted at the nickname he'd given her.
"I'm no kid, nothing much and you?" She retorted. He chuckled and then gave her a grin.
"It's Master Logan to you, on my way to sharpen my claws, who's this?" He asked and pointed to Rena.
"This is Rena Wilson, she's a friend." Laura smirked. Rena looked angrily at Laura and Logan noticed this.
"Now, now Laura, I'm sure Rena can speak for herself." Logan laughed but then looked stern again.
"Y-Yeah, I'm Rena Wilson as she said, second year." She smiled and shook his hand. "I take it you're Laura's master of her special training?"
"Yes I am and I'm the best at what I do, Laura is my prodigy so she's only second best." He smirked and prodded Laura with his finger.
"Yeah but someday I'll surpass you and I'm sure that's gonna be soon old man." Laura grinned maliciously and poked him back harder.
"Ouch, well it was nice meeting you Rena, Laura talks quite a bit about you so it's finally nice to meet ya." He grinned.
"R-Really, it was nice meeting you too Master Logan." She bowed but felt a little embarrassed as he laughed.
"You're a funny kid, come on, don't be shy to shake my hand, I aint that strict of a teacher." He laughed.
"Oh sorry then Master Logan." She apologized and shook his hand.
"Bye Laura, see you later this afternoon for your lessons and PLEASE be on time, otherwise old Charlie will be on my case again!" He said and with that he departed from the girls.
They quickly hurried to the cafeteria and met up with Aiden, Oliver and Nikki.
"Hey, have you heard the news, the DMC academy will be here after first period, man they're THAT quick!" Aiden yelled and sank back on the bench.
"I heard that it's only since they're coming from the top of the country!" Oscar deadpanned.
"Wow you guys are more excited than Rena sitting next to a hot senior." Nikki smirked. "What's got your boxers in a twist?"
Both guys shot her a death glare for announcing that embarrassing statement while the girls just chuckled.
"WELL that's only coz there is gonna be hot second year girls; why else would we be excited?" Aiden smirked back.
"WELL you might take an interest in the guys also…" Nikki grinned and the boys growled at her.
"Nikki…that's unnecessary." Rena frowned.
"Yeah that was going TOO far, don't ya think?" Laura reasoned and looked at her with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Ok, ok I'm sorry." Nikki mumbled.
Just as Aiden and Oliver were about to open their mouths, headmaster Charles Xavier walked up to the stage to address everyone.
Everyone looked up at the stage and listened intently, even the punks of the school paid attention.
"Students, I have some great news, my good friend, headmaster Morrison of Devil May Cry academy has just notified me that the school would be arriving just as your first period commences, so I have had no choice but to declare the first period as cancelled for today, we must welcome our guests and try to be as hospitable as possible so first period will now be used to welcome our guests and make them feel as comfortable as possible, assembly is now dismissed!" He walked off in his ever stoic manner again and people shouted with glee and joy.
Laura rolled her eyes, Rena's eyes grew big and sparkled and Nikki looked unfazed as ever, Oliver and Aiden fist pumped with joy.
Laura ate her apple and went to the vending machine to grab a can of Mountain Dew. Just as she was about to grab her can it was grabbed by a big hand and she rolled her eyes to see who it was, Vance!
"What do you want now, Vance?" she groaned and watched as he hung her can in the air.
"It's simple Kinney; I want a date with you." He grinned with his confident smirk.
"Why do you always insist on the impossible, Lochwood?" she furrowed her brows.
"Coz, you're the only girl who hates my guts, I like that, it makes you more…desirable." He said with a psychotic gleam in his eyes.
"Why do you bother me when you know that I can kick your ass at ANY time?" Laura smirked and crossed her arms.
"Coz honey, frankly you can't…" He was becoming too over confident.
Laura knew she could kick his ass but she didn't want to get into trouble in her first term, besides she'd save it for when it came to the perfect moment.
"Just buzz off Lochwood, you can have the drink, think of it as a consolation prize…" She yawned and was about to walk away when he grabbed her wrist.
She shot him a death glare but he was intent on getting his point through and the last word.
"Mark my words Kinney; you WILL agree to go on a date with me, whether it's now or later." He threw her wrist away and threw her can in the air which she caught with one hand.
'DOG' she thought and went back to her table.
"What was that all about?" Rena asked with concern.
"Nothing just Vance trying his luck again." She smirked.
"Laura you know if you need Oliver and I to back you up, don't hesitate to ask." Aiden said also with a look of concern.
"That's ok; I don't wanna get anyone in trouble." She smiled and drank her Mountain Dew with no further questions.
"Laura! Hey Laura, they're here!" Rena exclaimed with joy and dragged her friend to the frontlines where they'd watch the arrival of their new guests.
Meanwhile…
"Yo Dante, this is the DAMN best, Morrison is the best for allowing this!" Ken yelled from his convertible.
"Hell yeah it is!" Ryu replied from his sports car.
"Heh, it's cool and all but I can't help but feel he put a speed limit on our vehicles, I can only go up to a 100." Dante frowned as he rode his black bike.
"Yeah, I think he did but who cares we're almost there, just on mile to go!" Ken smirked as he sped up to match Dante.
"Wanna race?" Ryu suggested.
"Nah, I'm good." Dante smirked.
"Ass, anyway, I'm up for it, let's go!" he screamed and sped up even more.
"I wouldn't." Dante frowned.
"Aah shut it!" Ryu grinned as he matched Ken's speed in his sports car.
"I warned ya!" Dante said as he slowed down upon seeing a HUGE manor. 'Never knew the place was this huge, damn, it makes our school look like a kiddy park!'
"Hey Ken, Ryu, watch out, slow down man!" He warned them but it was a little too late as they saw a huge crowd looming up ahead and pressed hard on the breaks immediately.
Dante slowed down nicely sliding into park; he glanced back and saw the bus a few meters just behind him slow down.
Laura and Rena were joined by Aiden, Oliver and Nikki shortly and gaped at the sight of two speeding cars and a bike slowing down with four busses behind them.
"What the hell?" Aiden asked as his eye twitched. The others looked just as surprised as the two cars came to a screeching halt.
"Seniors…" vice headmaster Orroro sighed.
Most of the school gaped in awe as the busses slowed down and the students started swarming out of them, what was weird was that they didn't have a uniform!
"Charles!" a man with light brown slicked back hair and a light brown mustache shouted.
"Morrison!" The headmaster smiled (smiled?). "Good to see you after so many years."
"Heh, yeah I sure do know how to make an entrance." Headmaster Morrison smiled. "Sorry about my boys, they insisted on taking their own cars."
Morrison glared at the two reckless boys.
"Not a problem as long as they did no damage to anything or anyone." Headmaster Charles gave a sickly sweet smile.
"Listen up students of Devil May Cry!" Morrison exclaimed and everyone sprung to hear the announcement. "Get acquainted in this hour but then after that proceed to the class in which was given to you this morning, no time will be exceeded than the hour, have fun and remember to learn along the way!"
"Yes, well put Morrison, now attention all F.E.A.R students should try their best to welcome their guests in the hour, show them around and such, students dismissed!" The Headmaster addressed the student body.
They uniformed scattered to find partners with the casual.
"Oh my god, Laura, Laura, Laura, that's Dante!" Rena exclaimed with joy, squeezing Laura's arm tightly.
"Where…?" Laura breathed.
"There, the one by the bike, surrounded by girls!" She pointed in the direction of said landmark.
"Whatever, I can't see him and I don't care, I'm going back to my dorm." Laura said yanking her arm from Rena and walking off.
"Wet blanket…" Rena stuck her tongue out and made her way to the crowd of girls.
"Idiots!" Laura growled as she walked through the columns leading to the dorms.
She growled harder and crossed her arms in defiance.
'Why can't they make it easier and be focused?' Her features softened as she thought for a moment. 'Is it them who are so behind, or is it…me?'
She shook her head and scowled, she quickly examined herself.
She wore a black mini skirt with boots just up to her knees and a white tank top, sure she was a B but at least she wasn't an A, her legs were nice and smooth, she had smooth, porcelain skin and a zit-less face, to her she was acceptable, to guys well, she never really thought about what guys would see in her, most of them looked for a girl with a C or D sized boobs but in terms of personality, she was fine, no high maintenance, no hassles of any sort but she thought that it was the fact that she was stronger than most of the guys in the school that turned them off.
She sighed and her face softened heavily, she looked almost…vulnerable.
She was still deciding if she was acceptable to guys or not when she wasn't concentrating on where she was walking.
"Ouch!"
"Ow!"
She rubbed her forehead and furrowed her brows.
"Watch where you're going!" She shouted at him before walking off to her dorm again, leaving the figure behind dumbfounded.
"…"
Dante rubbed his chin thoroughly; he didn't fully register what happened until now. A girl bumped into him, he didn't have time to respond so she did, harshly, she walked away and didn't even hear or say sorry.
"What the hell…?" he frowned but then shrugged it off as he walked on.
"Hey Dante, where've you been?" Trish asked in a cool manner.
"Uhh…just walking around, getting away from everyone, you?" he asked not really caring what her answer would be.
"That's harsh; I've been looking around, seeing if anything interesting catches my eye." She smirked.
"Well, did anything?" he smiled.
"Not yet, how about you?" She winked.
"Well…not much just something new and not that I'm conceited or anything but a girl bumped into me and said that I should watch where I'm going…that's strange to me…" He frowned.
"Well, that is strange and no, I don't find it conceited." Trish said in an understanding tone.
"Haha, man I knew it, anyway I gotta get to class and I'll see ya around!" He shouted as he ran off.
He ran past the crowds of people and walked to his dorm, in it he found a note with his class number on it, he put it in his coat pocket and straightened up for class.
He examined himself; he wore a red coat which housed his guns, Ebony and Ivory, his sword Rebellion and now the note, he couldn't care less about his bare chest, it was nice to show off once in a while, he wore baggy pants with his combat boots, all in all he was dressed ok.
He walked out to join Modeus (Who was also 19) and walked to class with him, we passed girls who looked at us in awe and guys who just nodded or ignored us.
Eventually they made it to class around ten minutes before the bell rang, as they walked in, all eyes were on them and they ignored them completely and took their seats.
Aiden and the gang noticed the two newcomers and decided to talk to them.
"What's up, I'm Aiden." He calmly introduced himself and stuck out his hand.
"Hello, I'm Modeus." Modeus shook his hand.
"Dante." Dante said as he put his feet up on the desk in a sleeping position with his hands behind his head.
"Uhh ok, nice to meet ya both, let me introduce you to my friends." He said and pointed to the gang. "Guys, c'mere a sec."
"This is Rena." He pointed to Rena who bowed.
"Nice to meet you both." She smiled.
Modeus flashed a smile and nodded while Dante raised his hand and did a small waving motion.
"This is Oliver." Aiden smiled at his best friend.
"Yo, I'm what he said." Oscar smiled.
"Haha, I got that, Oi, Dante, stop trying to sleep." He grinned.
"Haha, you guys are funny, this is Nikki, she doesn't mean to be rude." He winked. This earned him a nudge on his rib by Nikki.
"Hi, I'm Nikki and I'm not rude." She frowned at Aiden.
"Nice to meet you, Nikki." Modeus chuckled. "Oi, Dante, seriously get up now, the teachers' will scold if you get caught like last year."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll get up, just shut it already." Dante smirked as he sat up straight and looked at the group.
"Oh yeah, where's Laura, hey Laura!" he called for the girl talking to another random girl.
"Laura this is Modeus and D-." Aiden mouthed but was cut off soon.
"The bastard who didn't watch where he was going!" she pointed at him in dismay.
He looked baffled at first but then smirked.
"Yeah, what's up?" he smirked and sank in his seat.
"What's…up…I think you mean I'm sorry." She growled.
"Nothing much and… apology accepted." Dante grinned.
"What the hell, I'm not sorry, you should be!" Laura grew frustrated that the bastard wouldn't look at her in the eye.
"Calm down, man that's something you NEED to do." He yawned.
Laura smirked and the next thing was a slap so hard it earned multiple death glares from girls in the room.
Dante looked shocked at first but then burst out laughing.
"What is so funny?" she asked genuinely confused. "Is this guy on drugs?" she asked Modeus.
"With him, who knows?" was Modeus's reply.
She shrugged her shoulders and sat down when the teacher arrived.
"Ok, first of all, I'm Miss Grey and I'll be your homeroom teacher and I would like you to address me by either Miss or Ma'am." A teacher with fire red hair and a pretty face for a woman in her mid thirties said. "Now I want all the students from the Devil May Cry academy on the right side of the room and all of my F.E.A.R students on the left."
Everyone complied and Laura was glared at with daggers as she got up.
"Ok, I'll mix it up a bit this year, each F.E.A.R student sits next to a DMC student, got it?" she smiled. "Ok, let's see, Aiden Pearce with Morrigan Night, Nina Riley and Chun Li, Nick Canon with Amanda Johnson, Angelina Hill and Guile Baker, Brad Copper with Patty Rowell, Oscar Pearce and Modeus D' Ville, Chad Harrow and Cody Tuck, Rena Wilson with Alex Jameson, Eugene Maverick and Guy Camrada, Jay Manuel with Christina Dawes. Tracy Song and Spencer Pratt, Neil Argon with Selena Bradley, Nikki Felicia Masters and Kenny Strong, Vance Lochwood and Akira Shiki, Laura Kinney and Dante Sparda; that's all, now take your seats and welcome to my class." The teacher listed. "Oh and this will be your seating order for the whole term."
Everyone happily took their seats but Laura and Dante just had a WTF look on their faces while they took theirs.
'Oh shit, now I sit next to a slacker, great!' Laura said looking at the teacher in disbelief.
'Finally! I sit next to someone who won't stare at my face the whole day!'
'But first…'
"Hey, I'm sorry." Dante whispered.
She turned to look at Dante with a frown. "Now only?" she raised a brow.
"Hey at least you get one, be grateful." He smirked.
She kept quiet after that and just stared at the teacher as if she was paying attention.
'Well at least his partner wasn't ugly or worse, fat!' 'I might just like this school after all….' Dante thought.
