Chapter 2 – The Storm of Prejudice

Envy walked hesitantly and cautiously through the hallways of the Elementary Wing. Time seemed to drag on and on as the hallway Envy walked everyday seemed to get longer and longer. Envy finally arrived at his class room which was Class 4-A. With a deep sigh, Envy reluctantly opened the sliding door of his classroom. The room was filled with hushed tones as Envy entered the room. Envy looked to his left and saw his classmates looking back at him as they whispered to one another. One of the female students snickered and pointed at the chalk board behind Envy. Envy turned to see what was on the chalk board. What was written on the chalk board were the words "Kill The Homunculi!" in large crass looking letters.

Envy's blood ran cold with fear. The hushed tones from the class turned in to chatter. The class room door slides open and the classrooms teacher, Mr. Jean Havoc, walks into the classroom. Mr. Havoc was a tall man with short blond hair with a lazy but stern look in his eyes. "Ok kids. Settle down and take your seats so we can get started with today's lesson." said Mr. Havoc. As the children quickly seated themselves, Envy still stood, starring in fear at the words on the chalk board. Mr. Havoc gives Envy an irritated look. "Hey. C'mon kid. Sit down already." said Mr. Havoc.

"Mr. Havoc! Look at the chalk board!" one of the children snickered as they pointed. Mr. Havoc turned and looked at the chalk board and saw what was written on it. Jean's eyes widened at the hateful words. "Who did this?!" yelled Jean. The class went quiet. "Well? C'mon! Speak up!" Jean shouted, slapping the chalk board. Envy jumped it the sound of his teacher's hand hitting the board. The classroom kept quiet. Mr. Havoc looked around the room at his students. "Fine then...sense nobody will own up to it, I'll be cancelling the class trip to the Capital to meet the Fuhrer." said Mr. Havoc. The class began chattering amongst themselves.

Envy looked up at his teacher as Jean looked back at him. "Go ahead take your seat Envy." instructed Mr. Havoc. Envy silently walked to his desk and sat down. The majority of the class fixed there frustrated gaze on Envy and one other girl. Envy felt fear coldly dripping down his spine with each glare from his classmates. Mr. Havoc Erased what was on the chalk board and then after took out his lesson plan for the day. "Now then…Let's get started.

From first period to third. The time between classes felt like a lifetime to Envy when suddenly the lunch bell rang. "And we were just getting to the Meiji Era to…" said the class' third period teacher, Mr. Kane Fury . "That's it for today kids. Tomorrow, we will be covering the Meiji Era. Have a good lunch." Kane says as he leaves the classroom.

Envy reaches for his school bag containing his lunch when suddenly, someone grabs his arm and drags Envy from his seat. Envy falls to the floor hurting his left knee and shoulder. All the human children in the class room crowded around Envy and laughed at him. The boy who pulled envy out of his seat was the class bully, Axel Heinrich. "You stupid idiot! You gut our class trip cancelled!" yelled the boy who pulled Envy from his seat. "Yeah! It's all your fault, you stupid Schamott!" shouted another boy. (A/N: Schamott is the German word for Trash there for; people use the word "Schamott" as a racial slur toward Homunculi) Envy's eyes widened to the word "Schamott". Tears began to fall from Envy's eyes as he looked in fear at his human classmates.

"Stop it Axel! Leave him alone!" said a girl's voice from the crowd of students. The children turned around and saw a lone girl with her fists balled up at her sides. "I…I said…leave him a-alone…!" said the girl. "Who're you tellin' me what to do, huh?" shouted Axel. "Hey! She's A Homunculus to!" said a girl in the crowd. Axel recognized the girl Homunculus. Her name was Noel Chao. Noel was a bit chubby with short dark, navy blue and pretty, round bright red eyes. "What do you want Sin?" Axel asked. "You're always bullying us Homunculi…a-and…I th-think you should stop!" stated Noel. Axel turned and walked toward the girl. "I ain't gonna let some chubby Schamott tell ME what to do!" yelled Axel as he grabbed the poor girl by her collar and raised his hand to hit her. "Stop Axel!" yelled Envy.

At that moment, the classroom door flew open shocking the crowd of students. A woman with black hair done in braids quickly walked into the classroom. "SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU LITTLE BRATS!" yelled the woman. The classroom went dead silent with fear. The woman was the notorious demon instructor. A teacher by the name of Ms. Izumi Curtis. "What's with all the yelling in here?" asked Ms. Curtis. The students said nothing as Ms. Curtis stared daggers at them. "Answer me!" shouted Izumi. Everyone pointed to Envy and the other Homunculus. Ms. Curtis glares at the two Homunculi. "Both you…come with me…!" ordered Ms. Curtis as she turned to leave the classroom. Envy and the Homunculus girl left the classroom as ordered. "Ms. Curtis, are you gonna expel those Schamott's?" said Axel with a smirk. Izumi stops just outside the door. Axel Heinrich…I know your father. Tell him that I have no time for racism…!" said Ms. Curtis just before closing the door behind her.

Izumi lead Envy and Noel down the hall to the Faculty office. Envy looks at Noel and then up at Ms. Curtis. "Have something to ask me, Homunculus?" asked Izumi. Envy stayed quiet as the three of them keep walking. Izumi stops and turns to look at Noel. "Your name…?" Izumi sternly asks. Noel nervously looks up at Ms. Curtis. "N-Noel…Chao…" said a frightened Noel. "Your name…!" said Ms. Curtis in a louder tone. Noel took a step back. Envy sees the fear in Noel's eyes. "Sin…people call me Sin…" said a now terrified Noel. "And you boy. Your name is Envy, is it not?"asked Izumi. Envy mustered any courage he had with in him and answered. "Yes ma'am…" answered Envy.

Izumi pats Envy on his head. "I know your brothers. Pride and Gluttony are both good boys." said Ms. Curtis, calming Envy's nerves. Izumi looks back at Noel and smiles at her. "So why do they call you 'Sin'?" asked Izumi. Noel turned her head away and began to cry. Ms. Curtis pats Noel's head then turns to walk away. "Very well then…get back to class you two…" said Ms. Curtis. "By the way, I'll see that Heinrich gets his." promised Ms. Curtis as she walks away. Envy and Noel turn and walk back to their class.

As the two of them walk back to class, Noel steals a few glances at Envy. Noel stops and looks down at the floor. "Um…Envy…?" called Noel. Envy stops and turns to face Noel. "Yes?" answered Envy. Noel lifts her head to see Envy looking at her. "N-nothing…I'm…I'm sorry…" Noel apologized. "No worries." assured Envy. Tears began to fall from Noels face as she held her hands to her chest. "Noel…can I ask you something…?" asked Envy. Noel wiped away her tears. "I know what you want to ask…and I'll tell you…" At that moment, Noel gave Envy the most heart breaking smile he had ever seen.

"I'm called Sin…because my existence…is a sin itself…"
