IGGY POV:
After a surprisingly fun Social Studies class, never thought I'd live the day to see that happen, Snow and I prepared to walk back to our lockers, and then to lunch.
"So where's your locker?" I asked conversationally, while we walked down the hall, kids staring at us and whispering.
I knew that she knew that they were all talking about us. But she ignored them. Like I did.
"I just got it today, first day after all, and I already forgot the combination on my lock..." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. I laughed.
"Well what about the number?" I persisted and she shrugged.
"Number...600 something?" She guessed and my eyes widened.
"Mine's 648-A, and 647-C is open..." I said with a smile, and her eyes flashed in recognition.
"Oh yeah, its 647-C! You're next to me? Seems we are both very lucky indeed," she replied with a smile, and we headed to our lockers.
We're... both very lucky?
...
"STUPID FREAKING THING!" Snow screamed, pulling on her lock. After 5 minutes of trying, it still wouldn't open.
I sighed. "Snow, just let me help you."
"I got it!" She hissed back, and with some karate move I'd never seen before, kicked the locker door near the lock, and it opened.
"Nice strategy," I note and she beams.
"I'm well aware of the fact," she replied smugly and put away her stuff. "Now let's go. I don't want to be late to lunch."
"Too late for that," I retort and we speed-walk to lunch.
...
"Do we get in trouble for being late to lunch?" Snow asked, looking around the cafeteria as we walked in.
I shook my head. "No. They don't really care whether or not you show up to lunch. Why?"
She sighed. "At my last school, a stupid private boarding school for rich kids, you got in trouble for every little thing you did. Not wearing the stupid skirt in the uniform, being one second late to any class including lunch, or walking above the speed of 3.4 miles per hour in the hallways."
My eyes narrowed at the last one, especially. "3.4 miles per hour?"
"They actually freaking recorded our speed at all times," she confirmed. "It was hell; all those girls were prissy and rich and bitchy, so I broke every single rule in the book and the school kicked me out. This is my first time being at a public school, actually."
"Sounds bad," I reply as we walk over to the lunch line. "I wouldn't want to go, not that I could if I wanted to."
She nodded slightly before turning away. "So is the lunch here any good?"
I shrugged. "I wouldn't know."
Her eyes widened as she realized her mistake, and she sheepishly tried to cover it up.
...
SNOW POV:
"Iggy! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, oh shit!" I blubbered as Iggy quickly dismissed the comment.
"Its okay, not your fault," he answered but he sounded a little upset.
Crap what do I do? What do I do? Iggy's the first real friend I've ever had, and I've never been in this situation before... AGH THE AWKWARD!
"Ummm... let's get in line," I said quickly and stepped into line, Iggy following me.
Once we got to the front, I took out a wallet, pretty badass by the way, its dark purple and black stripes, with a lot of pockets for storing lots of stuff. Let's just say there was a TON of candy in there.
I grabbed a tray with two slices of pepperoni pizza for me, and looked to Iggy for confirmation. He slowly nodded, maybe getting what I was hinting at, as I grabbed another tray for him.
"What snack do you want?" I asked him and he looked startled.
"Huh?" He exclaimed in disbelief.
"Pick a snack, any snack," I said impatiently. But it was cute the way his eyebrows crinkled as he tried to make a quick decision...
Snow! What are you saying? You just met him today for crying out loud, and you're just friends! Friends don't think that about each other!
I grabbed a bag of popcorn, and Iggy chose a bag of potato chips.
"And... a drink," I said, walking over to the freezer and grabbing a peach Snapple.
He walked over, and after a moment's hesitation, grabbed a water. I shrugged and added it to his tray.
The I walked up to the cashier lady and handed her ten bucks, and was given back a few. Then I handed Iggy his tray, and grabbed mine, and we were off.
...
"Snow, you didn't need to buy this for me," Iggy said so softly it was almost a whisper.
"Well I did. So build a bridge and get over it," I replied indifferently as I searched for a table that would be good to sit at.
Ah!
"Iggy, let's sit over there," I said, starting my way over to a table with 7 kids sitting there. They looked "goth", by modern standards, but I thought they looked cool, and one of them was wearing an Evanescence t-shirt, so they must be awesome.
"Why, Snow?" Iggy complained as I dragged him over and sat down at two of the three empty seats.
They all looked at me in surprise and I said nothing, just smiled as Iggy started down at his feet.
"Umm..." A girl with chestnut colored hair with dark pink highlights mumbled, scratching behind her ear.
"Well, um, I'm Monique but everyone calls me Nudge!" The girl next to her exclaimed. She had dark skin, with two piercings in each ear, a nose ring, and bushy black hair that she kept tamed in little braids all over her head, making her look pretty.
"Well if Nudge is going, I guess I'll go..." The first girl said nervously. "I'm Ella."
She nudged the girl next to her, who was taller and had dirty blonde hair tucked in a ponytail, with streaks of dark blue in it. She had a small ring in her left ear, but was pierce free besides that. She said nothing.
"C'mon, Max!" Nudge complained at her. "We introduced ourselves so you guys all have to! Even you, Fang!"
Max sighed, as did the boy to her right.
"I'm Max," she sighed. "Its no longer a boy's name."
"Fang," the boy next to her nodded. He had dark hair that was short in the back, and hung over his eyes in a mixture of colors; dark red, dark green, dark blue, dark gray, and black mixed together. He was muscular and had olive skin colored skin. He had no piercing that I could see.
"Ryuu," the boy next to him said very softly. His face was obscured by a black A&F sweatshirt, but I could see that his dark brown hair streaked with purple hung in his face. As he turned towards Ella, some of the hair fell away and I could see that he had purple eyes. He had black headphones around his neck, and an iPod sticking out of his blue jeans. He looked very pale, and I wanted to ask what was wrong, since I had always wanted to be a doctor... but the look in his eyes made me hesitate and say nothing.
"My name's Zephyr," the boy next to him spoke up. "My friends call me Gazzy. If you do end up hanging with us... you'll figure out why." With that said, a devilish smile came to his childish face, making a spark in his bright blue eyes. He had blonde hair that was set into spikes, with all the tips being dyed black. He also had a nose ring, just like Nudge.
The girl next to him smiled angelically. "My name is Angelica, but all my friends call me Angel." I could see why. She had short-ish blonde hair that fell to her shoulders, and curled up naturally, making her look angelic. She had three piercings in her right ear, and none in her left, for some reason. Her eyes were blue like Gazzy's, and a similar smile made its way to her face.
I smiled. "I'm Kate, but my friends call me Snow."
They gave me a weird look.
"Kate... Heartfilia?" Ella finally squeaked out.
I sighed. "I don't use my last name."
They looked shocked, and sat there for a minute, absorbing this, until someone broke the silence.
"Neither do I. My parents suck," Fang, of all people, said simply. I nodded at him in understanding.
"What about you?" Ella asked Iggy, her eyes looking at him intently. He looked slightly uncomfortable, but did his best to hide it.
Why can I read Iggy so well? Didn't we just meet? Were we... best friends in a past life or something?
"My name's James, but I go by Iggy," he said firmly and turned away.
"Cool name," Gazzy noted.
He nodded in thanks.
"Like you're one to be complimenting people's name Gazzy," Angel shoved Gazzy, almost knocking him off of his chair. "You have the worse name ever."
"I didn't choose to be named Zephyr!" He protested, completely missing what Angel was actually saying. She sighed loudly.
"You see the stupidity that I have to live with?" She sighed loudly, making Gazzy punch her in the arm.
Yep, they were definitely siblings.
"Don't hit me, you freaking moron!" Angel hissed at him.
"Just try and stop me, you blonde girl!" Gazzy retorted.
"Even your comebacks are awful!" Angel complained.
"Not they're not!" Gazzy protested as they began to argue.
I turned to Nudge. "Does this happen all the time?"
She nodded. "Get used to it."
I smiled. "Nice."
...
IGGY'S POV:
"So Iggy, what bands do you like?" Ella, I think her name was, asked me.
Max looked up as Ella asked it and rolled her eyes before dropping her head onto Fang's shoulder.
"Linkin Park, Black Veil Brides. I don't know," I answered.
"Cool! Me too," She smiled at me as Nudge chatted with Snow.
Snow Snow Snow Snow PLEASE save me from this I think she's flirting with me!
"What's your favorite song by BVB?" Ella asked, leaning a little closer to me. I leaned away.
"Probably In The End," I answered honestly, trying to lean away and be discreet. Unfortunately, I had no experience in this type of thing, so I was probably failing.
"I like Rebel Love Song," she replied, leaning in again. She almost fell off her chair but I caught her, and she blushed as she got back in her seat.
"Sorry!" She peeped with a nervous giggle in her voice.
"It's fine," I said softly, and turned back to Snow, who was blushing as Nudge babbled on and on.
I will never understand girls.
I noticed one of the other kids, Ryuu? Staring at me. I wondered if I had done something.
I hope I don't lose any friends before I get them...
...
A Special, One-Time Ryuu's POV:
I couldn't help it. As Ella began to smile and flirt with the new guy, my heart fell. My chest literally burned with the pain.
Guess thats a side effect of cancer. Another is losing your hair from chemotherapy, but I love my hair. So I wouldn't let them do anything. They say I'll only live for another two years now. Long enough to graduate, at least.
Thats me. Positive Ryuu.
Well I act positive. For my little sister, Kasai, for my mom and dad, for my friends and even for my cat Willow.
But especially for Ella Ride.
I've had a crush in the breathtaking girl since I met her, but I never told her. I always told myself that I was going to tell her, but then all the fears would start clotting my mind...
She wouldn't feel the same way and our friendship would be ruined.
She would feel the same way but be so depressed over my death she'd start hurting herself or something.
She would get angry for me telling her when I only had two years to live.
There was always an excuse in my mind, to not tell Ella Ride how much I loved her. She'd come over and give me her signature smile, one that always made me feel better, and I'd crack a joke just to hear her laugh, and then we'd part ways.
But, one day, I'm going to do it. I have to. I owe it to myself, and Ella, to tell her my true feelings.
But its going to be harder than I thought...
THE FLOCK IS HERE, THEY'RE HERE AND IT'S AMAZING! :D
A long chapter for you guys, hope you enjoyed, leave a review and all that crap.
So!
Ryuu is an OC, he does not belong to me but to a girl named Zaqhirix Cheshire (I hope I spelled it right, should have copy-pasted).
I do not own any of the flock but I do own their hairstyles... sort of. Someone else probably invented them but I gave it to them so there.
And I don't own any Fairy Tail stuff that I may reference.
Question/s/of the Chapter: (MaximumRider99 suggested I do these so you have something to leave a review about. I guess that makes sense) What do you think Nudge was talking to Snow about? Why was Snow blushing? And everyone knows it should eventually be an Sniggy story, but do you want to temporarily have Eggy or should we not torment Ryuu like that? :P
Fly on,
Kate
