My alarm clock rang and I dragged myself out of bed. It wasn't until a few minutes later that I found out the reason for me being so drowsy. I didn't go to sleep until around 1 something this morning thanks to me trailing Riku.
I walked downstairs and fixed me a bowl of cereal. You know it's bad when you're falling asleep while eating food. Grabbing my back pack, I opened my door to see Riku standing there.
"You finally ready, Sora? Kairi's sick or something with the stomach virus."
I nodded and walked out of the door and off the porch. followed by Riku.
He slipped his hand into mine as we walked towards the school. "I take it you want me to answer your million questions?" he asked looking over at me with his beautiful green eyes.
"If you wouldn't mind," I said as I smiled at him.
"Start asking. We don't have all day."
"What was that last night with the whole 'let-me-speak-to-Sora-with-my-head-and-not-warn-him' thing?"
He laughed at me and replied, "That was me, making sure you go to sleep instead of sit up all night asking yourself questions. I can hear your thoughts when you call for me and I just guessed you were asking yourself 'who was that?' after I said something."
I rubbed the back of my head and chuckled quietly. "Good guess. Are there any others in our school I know, that are also like you?"
"Have you met Axel and Roxas yet? They're vampires. The others don't go to our school."
"Oh. Is there any way I could be a vampire too?"
Riku suddenly stopped and glared at me, obviously changing his attitude.
"Why would you ask me something like that? Becoming a vampire isn't exactly a painless process. As soon as the venom is injected into you, everything in your body feels like you're on fire and like you're dying, which you kind of are."
That look he gave me scared me and so I left that subject alone. I did not want him to look at me like that again. "What age do you stop aging?"
"Whatever age we want to. I want to be around eighteen or nineteen before I decide to stop. Now, that's enough questions. We're almost there and you pretty much know all you need to know."
I sighed knowing that I could not argue with him. We walked up to the school and went to our little meeting spot. The Elric brothers, along with Roy, Cloud, and Leon were already there.
We all greeted each other and waited for school to begin. When the bell rang, we all split up and went into our classrooms.
Entering Ansem's class was like entering Hell if not worse. As soon as Riku and I walked in, we got hammered by the stupid teacher.
"You two lovebirds missed the second day of school! Missing school is not to be taken lightly. You two will stay behind after school and clean up my classroom."
Riku growled under his breath, but managed to keep his cool. I would really hate to see what happens if someone pisses him off. I hope I never do that to him.
During the class, everyone took lecture notes on Mr. Oh-So-Mighty's speech on something about the Homo Sapiens. I could have cared less. Honestly, all I thought about was Riku during that class.
After what seemed like an eternity, the bell finally rang. Chemistry was boring as Professor Dante talked about chemical properties. The bell rang for English, which was a lot better than the first two. Our teacher, Seymor, was quite easy on us missing school and gave us workbooks that the others had gotten the day before.
Paine, our Drama teacher, lectured us on skipping school as well. She was a real pain in the ass...no pun intended of course. This school was beginning to tick me off.
The next two classes of school went by alright. Riku and I managed to get by the wrath of Hawkeye's gun and bullets. I thought she was going to shoot us in the foot for missing, but she just told us to make sure not to skip again. Despite our excuses that we were sick, which I really was, not one teacher listened. None of these teacher listen to students. They treat us like we don't matter and that they don't want us there.
I stretched as the bell rang to go home. What a horrible day this was, but at least it was time to go home...almost.
Riku and I walked over to the old gorilla's room. He was standing there with cleaning supplies and glared. "You two are late. For that, you will write me a two page essay on what it means to be responsible."
Looking up at Riku, I could clearly see he was getting really pissed. He snatched the supplies, handing me some and said, "We had to go to our lockers, which are on the other side of the school." It was true. Our lockers really were in the hallway farthest away from here.
"Stop arguing with me and get to cleaning this room! Would you rather I talk to the janitors and tell them that you are willing to clean the entire school up?"
I hid behind a desk as I can feel the invisable aura of Riku beginning to glow red. He really wasn't having a good day at all and I could tell just by the way he was cleaning.
It was about three hours before we managed to make the room spotless. Before we gave the chance for Ansem to find something to mark us down for, we ran out of there.
On our walk home, Riku's hand was in a fist so tight that it was making his skin really pale.
"Riku, please calm down. I don't like to see you angry," I said.
"He has no reason to harass us like that. It took us over three hours to make his classroom spotless and then he wants to add on the essay all because we had to go to our locker? What the fuck does he want from us?"
The red aura was coming back and there's not really much I could do. I stopped walking and looked up at him. I reached up and kissed him, hoping he would calm down.
It must have worked, because he began to relax and kissed back. I stopped kissing Riku, and started walking again. My mom had to be home right now and I should have been too.
The rest of the walk home was quiet and we left to enter our house after a short kiss.
When I walked in, I could hear that my mom was on the phone with someone and talked in her panic voice. No doubt that voice was about me. She probably thought I was up-ducted by aliens or something by now.
Walking in the kitchen, she turned around and said to the phone, "Oh, he just walked in. Thanks for your help, but he's home now. Bye." She hung up the phone and ran over to me.
"Sora! Where have you been! I've been absolutely worried about you!" she yelled in my ear.
"My World History teacher held Riku and me back to clean up the room, because we 'skipped' yesterday. Now we have a two page essay due tomorrow, because we were 'late."
"I called the school to excuse you. Apparently, Sephiroth's boy was sick too because he called to ask if you had come down with anything. I'll talk to the school tomorrow and make sure you and Riku are excused and don't have to do anything. That stupid teacher should have called in to tell us that you boys were staying for over an hour instead of having Sephiroth and me worried. Go call Riku and tell him not to do that essay."
Without hesitating, I walked up to my room and set my stuff down. I grabbed my phone and dialed Riku's phone number. Riku picked up and I told him about what my mom had said.
"I wasn't planning on doing that essay anyways. My dad is pissed at him for not calling him to tell him we'd be three hours late."
"Yeah my mom too. Well, I've got homework to do, so I'll talk to you later."
We said bye to each other and hung up. I pulled out all the classes I had homework for, and started working on it. Mom brought dinner to me and it took me about ten seconds to shove it down my throat.
I finally finished my homework near my normal bed time. Packing everything up, I got ready for bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. All I could remember was thinking how glad I was that the day was finally over.
