Chapter Two
Anger flushed upon her porcelain face at the sound of the growling masculine voice. She stood up and faced the direction of the voice. "Show yourself!" she demanded furiously as she breathed heavily.
"Right behind you, are you blind or something?" the voice informed irritably. She felt a hand smack her shoulder, which caught her attention immediately and turned around.
Her eyes went wide and she gaped like a fish out of water. The boy in front of her was a little taller compared to her brunette friend but he had the exact same facial features, spiky hair and large eyes with thick dark lashes, except for the hair colour that was a shade of charcoal and unusual eyes that were a shade of the sunset. Never in her sixteen years of living had she seen such beautiful eyes.
She stared for a few seconds before regaining her composure. "YOU. Who do you think you are?" she snapped angrily, glaring into the boy's sunset coloured eyes.
"That's none of your damn business. Anyway, you can't sing so just go away," the Sora look alike snapped back as he glared back into her sapphire orbs.
"You're the guy that Ventus told me about... Why'd you punch him?!" she stepped further towards him, looking directly into his sunset coloured orbs, they noticeably darkned.
"Ah yes, Ventus," he muttered sarcastically as he inched forwards with a hand on his chin to emphasise his thinking. "Tell me, is he still a sissy who goes and complains to that goofball's parents against me?" he asked through gritted teeth, not expecting an answer. "And to answer your question, it's none of your damn business," he added with a glare as he walked away, negativity was radiating through him as he walked away.
Xion raised one of her ebony brows quizzically as she watched him storm off. 'He's just like Ventus mentioned, plain unlikeable,' she told herself mentally.
English class came along rather quickly, which was the second last lesson of the day. Xion loved English lesson mainly because all of her friends were present in that class, she quickly made her way towards her seat, which was next to Ventus. At the end of the table was an empty seat next to her, while the other end of the table was occupied by Roxas.
On the row in front of them were Sora, Kairi, Naminé and Axel- who happily dived into a conversation with the other blonde twin, Roxas.
Everyone spoke to each-other happily while the teacher typed something up, however, they were immediately silenced when the teacher began to take the register.
"Sora Anderson?"
"Yes miss!" the brunette chirped happily.
"Vanitas Anderson?"
The raven haired girl could not help but roll her sapphire eyes. With her luck, he would be told to sit next to her! There was a brief silence, so the teacher resumed.
"Xion Black?"
"Yes mi-!" the raven haired girl had to stop mid- sentence as the door barged open to reveal a tall boy with spiky, ebony locks and unusual, sunset coloured eyes.
"You're late," the teacher announced angrily as she crossed crossed her arms over he chest.
"No way, Sherlock!" Vanitas' eyes went wide as he emphasised his sarcasm, earning many laughs from his peers.
"I can't believe he's related to you," the raven haired girl whispered to her blonde haired companion, who nodded in response.
"Vanitas Anderson!" the teacher shouted at him, which made him roll his sunset coloured eyes.
"What?!" he responded, irritably.
"Instead of throwing your over-smart comments in my way, go and sit next to Xion Black. Xion, please put your hand up," the teacher averted her gaze to the sixteen year old girl with short, obsidian hair.
Hesitantly, the raven haired girl raised her arm up as she locked eyes with the glaring boy, who's expression darkened even more.
"Are you kidding me?" he protested angrily as he did not bother to move.
"NOW," the irritable teacher emphasised her word by increasing the volume of her voice.
"I'd rather be in detention," the raven haired boy smirked at the angry woman.
"No, you're sitting next to Xion, you have no other choice," she argued as her face turned into a deeper shade of scarlet from anger.
"Oh really?" the smirk that was set across his lips moments ago had returned as he raised one of his obsidian eyebrows.
The next thing anyone knew about was that he had stormed out of the classroom and slammed the door shut.
The angry, raven haired boy heard foosteps following him, clanking against the tiled floor, it seemed like the person was running and so, he stopped walking, waiting for the right moment. As soon as he could feel the presence near him, he turned around pounded his fist against the person's face.
The person turned out to be none other than his own brother, Sora. "Get lost!"
What shocked the raven haired boy was the way his brother responded, he too got punched where he had punched the brunette. He stumbled backwards from the contact and glared at his twin.
"I am sick of you," the brunette began, sending his own glare in Vanitas' direction. "I understand what happened was not something anyone deserves to see, but to blame yourself so much and to be so hateful towards others makes you the idiot. Not the rest of us," he finished as he watched the silenced boy who was still trying to process what had happened.
"I'm not blaming myself. I hate being the way I was, so weak and idiotic like the rest of you. What do you mean by 'you understand'? You don't! You've always got what you wished for so-," the raven haired boy stopped mid-sentence at the sound of a door clicking open.
"What happened?" the principle, who happened to be the boys' father questioned the identical brothers.
"Vanitas was being his rude self and stormed out of the class and I was told by the teacher to 'fetch' him and bring him back, who knew he'd decide to punch me before anything could be explained? Afterwards, I punched him back and things got off topic," the brunette explained as he wiped of the excess blood from his lip with his sleeve while his brother ignored their presence.
"You are going to have detention everyday for a week," their father averted his gaze to Sora who nodded in response. "As for you, you're going to have detention everyday for a month," he directed his gaze at his older son who totally ignored whatever was going on.
The raven haired boy broke his gaze from the wall and averted it right into his father's sapphire ones. "Expel me," he demanded with a harsh tone.
"No, you're going back to class, but first, apologise to your brother," their father ordered as he declined his son's demand.
"Not in a million years," Vanitas argued as he shot him a glare.
"NOW," his father demanded again as he returned his son's glare.
The raven haired boy averted his gaze to his twin and let a sadistic smirk curve up his bleeding lips, "Oh, I apologise for punching you, however, look forward to it sometime soon."
With that said, he stormed out as he slammed the door shut once again.
Surprisingly, the raven haired boy returned to the classroom with uttering a word as he hesitantly made his way to sit next to the raven haired girl.
Xion remained silent as she flinched uncomfortably, her gaze was locked onto his swollen, red lip. 'Did Sora punch him?' she questioned herself as she quickly broke the gaze.
An angry looking Sora walked in through the door and quickly placed himself in his seat next to his best friend, Kairi.
"Do you have a pen I can borrow?" the raven haired boy questioned Xion, startling her in the process.
"Sure," she handed him a pen and sent a smile in his direction.
It was his turn to be taken aback, no one had ever smiled at him since that day, at school he was considered an outcast and at the new school, many people disliked him. The day was really surprising. He just wished she would not sing. However, he did not return the smile.
Xion furrowed her eyebrows. 'No matter how much you annoy me, I'm going to try and find out why you hate the hobby of singing and why you dislike practically everyone,' she told herself determinedly. Then she stopped for a moment to think, 'Nope, never think of that again, Xion!'
"Stop staring at me like some kind of bimbo," the irritable boy muttered as he locked eyes with the small girl next to him. Little did she know that he was doing the same thing until he realised.
"Oh, uh- sorry!" she quickly apologised, which he did not acknowledge.
There was a minute left until the end of the lesson and he had already left.
Their final lesson came by rather quickly, which was History and Xion's favourite subject.
"History, how boring," the boy next to her muttered and she immediately recognised the voice. He locked gazes with her and irritation took over his face. "You again!" he stated irritably.
"My luck is so good that I am destined to sit next to you in every lesson," she stated sarcastically, earning an eye-roll from him.
"Class, we're going to be starting a project for which I am going to select your pairs for you, you are to show team-work in this project to raise your marks," the teacher's announcement made the class groan.
The names seemed to breeze by rather quickly until Xion heard her name.
"Xion with Selphie."
'Yes! Atleast one subject I won't be paired with him for!' her happy smile seemed to show on her face until it vanished almost immediately.
"Sorry, I missed a line, Xion with Vanitas."
The obsidian haired pair groaned in response and looked at each-other with annoyance. 'How lovely,' he thought as he flopped his head on to the desk, away from her face and swung the pen around his fingers.
"One person in each pair take notes or split it up, while the other person, look through these text books to find useful information or split that up too," the teacher advised.
Most of the people in the class spoke to each-other amiably, except for a certain, black haired pair. Xion scribbled furiously, attempting to make her pen work until she realised it had run out of ink. She glanced nervously at the irritable boy next to her, who was swinging her pen between his fingers.
"Vanitas?" she began quietly as she nudged him gently, trying her best not to make him snap.
"What?" his voice came muffled but it was still coherent.
"My pen's run out of ink and the only other pen I have is with you. As I'm taking the notes, can I please have it?" she explained calmly with a small smile.
He turned his head in her direction and met a pair of sky blue eyes staring right into his gold ones. Although he would never, ever admit it, he liked it when she smiled. "Hmpf, get your own," he responded harshly, quickly breaking the stare.
"But that is my pen! Why don't you take the notes then?" she could feel her blood boiling with annoyance which would soon turn into anger.
"No, I can't be bothered. Get your own!" his voice rose in volume a little as he turned away once again.
"But that's my pen!" she retorted almost immediately.
"And your point is?" he asked veneomously.
Before the raven haired girl could respond, the teacher's voice cut through, "Vanitas and Xion, get out!"
The raven haired boy got up almost happily-except for a smile to emphasise it as he walked out of the classroom and slammed it shut, right in front of Xion.
'I hate him!' she screamed mentally as her face flushed red with anger and she too escaped the class.
Outside, she found him leaning against the wall, texting on his phone. "You're not supposed to be on your phone," she lectured irritably.
"Who are you? My mum? Even my mum doesn't say that so get lost," he responded harshly.
She blushed out of embarrassment and looked away, still a little irritable. "Are you...messaging... your girlfriend?" she questioned quietly, just above a whisper.
"Yeah," he replied quickly, his response shocked her, she was expecting something like, 'it's none of your business.'
"What's it to you anyway?" he asked as interest perked his nature, something he was unfamiliar with.
He never received a response due to the door clicking open to reveal a furious teacher.
"I need you two to get along, I would not have paired you two up if I had realised that the third World War was to take place. As it is Friday, next Monday, I want you two here for an hour after school. No 'but miss' stuff, just come!" the furious woman scolded the black haired pair, it was surprising because for once, Vanitas remained silent.
With that said, she retreated back to the classroom, motioning for them to go in.
"Oh great, thanks a lot, Xion," Vanitas murmured sarcastically with an eye-roll.
"You're welcome! After all, I always want to spend time with you as much as possible," she responded with the same amount of sarcasm.
Once the bell rang, the two left the room at the same time, with Xion trailing a little behind, however, the irritable raven haired boy stopped as soon as the petit girl began to hum a soft tune, again.
Almost immediately, he swirled around and threw her pen in her direction and stormed out of sight, stomping his feet against the floor.
The obsidian haired girl remained puzzled on the spot as her mind began to process the rudeness that radiated from the raven haired male. 'He is so rude!' she exclaimed angrily in her mind as she began to stroll off.
Next week was going to be great. Just great.
