Diana and Flint Alacris walked into the school building, Diana holding Flint's bright red hair in her arms, her German books on top of it. Flint ignored the stares of the younger students as he carried his Judo kit whilst heading over to his form room, Diana following him closely. Diana sighed as she escorted him into Lazard's classroom and lay the large thick mane out on the table so it would dry. Flint placed his Judo kit down and opened one of Diana's German books as Diana pulled out a hair dryer and began to quicken to process of drying Flint's ridiculously long hair.
"Detective film."
"Krimi Film."
"Romance film."
"Romanze Film."
"Comedy film."
"Komödie Film."
"Horror film."
"Uh…"
Diana paused and closed her eyes with a sigh.
"It's on the tip of my tongue," she murmured.
"Oh, Diana!" Diana's best friend, Daisy, came waltzing into the classroom.
"Not now, Daisy, I have a German test to revise for," Diana groaned as Flint gave a sideway glare at Daisy.
Flint hunched his shoulders and stared at the pages of the textbook intently as Daisy stood by Diana. He never liked Daisy, she was such a gossip girl.
"You'll never guess what I have heard!"
See?
"Daisy, can't this wait?" Diana grumbled as she began separating Flint's hair into chunks to dry it out better.
"No it can't," Daisy insisted as she pushed some of Flint's hair away, making it land on the floor with a loud wet splat "You won't believe what I've just heard from Asa."
"Oh, how much did you pay him now to get some dirt on Anne?" Diana sighed tiredly as Flint gave Daisy another glare and pulled his hair back up onto the desk.
Daisy just giggled and leaned in.
"She's just spent the night at Vincent Mentalis's house," she whispered making Diana snap her attention to her immediately.
"Vincent Mentalis?" she said warily, looking at her brother who lowered the textbook down immediately when he heard the name.
Daisy grinned and sidled up to her.
"Yes, and do you know what that means?" she asked with a devilish grin.
Another thing that Flint hated about Daisy was that she spread rumours based on truth. The skinny anorexic bitch loved to make other people's lives a misery and if there was someone in her way of anything, she would crush them. Now, word had got out that Anne had a small attraction to Sky, Daisy's infatuation. Daisy, as arrogant as she was, decided that she was better for Sky than Anne and automatically assumed that Sky would choose her. So she decided to ask him out, and much to her grief, Sky rejected her which made her automatically hate Anne. Flint didn't know what Daisy was paying Asa for to get information on Anne, but he had that feeling that Asa wasn't feeling proud on listening out for any juicy gossip Anne provided for Daisy.
"Look, Daisy," Diana sighed as she went back to focusing on Flint's hair "I don't really have time for this."
"But she could be after your brother next," Daisy said as Flint glowered at her "I swear, she is trying to sleep with every boy in the school and she already has Vincent."
"Daisy, Anne isn't like that!" Diana's voice got higher.
"She's got that Asperger Syndrome thingy," Daisy dismissed "I bet someone dared her to do it and she took it seriously."
"Daisy, that's enough."
Flint slammed the German textbook down to acknowledge his existence and looked at Daisy with a glare.
"She may have Asperger Syndrome but she is high-functioning," he said as Daisy rolled her eyes "Her case isn't as bad as other people with it so she isn't easily swayed."
"Yeah, but what do you know about her?" Daisy asked "She's like, a total bitch if she's gotten every boy's attention, including yours."
Flint's fist pulsed and Diana gently rubbed her thumb and forefinger on his neck to soothe him. Flint took a deep breath and sat back, closing his eyes while his sister continued drying his hair.
"So, anyway," Daisy continued "I was thinking that we should like warn everyone about it."
"Daisy, just get out!" Diana suddenly turned on her best friend and slapped her "I will not stand here while you try and make the most innocent girl in this school look like a total slut! I will certainly not take part in anything else which will result in her getting hurt or having her go into another emotional break down!"
Daisy stumbled in surprise and when she didn't move, Diana grabbed her by her mousey brown curls and dragged her out of the form room.
"See you at registration!" she shouted before slamming the door.
Meanwhile with Anne and Vincent M…
Anne yawned as Vincent gave her a piggyback into the school building. The silveret smiled softly as she nuzzled his head unconsciously.
"I don't want to go to Archery," she mumbled "It's too early."
Vincent chuckled quietly and shook his head.
"Well, I don't want to have English in the morning either," he admitted.
Anne yawned again as she fell asleep quite quickly on Vincent who just smiled more. Vincent shifted his grip to a more comfortable one and began to ascend the stairs on the way to their form room. He paused and his smile faded when he saw Sephiroth at the top of the staircase, a fierce glower in his eyes.
"So, I heard she stayed the night at your house," he said coldly as Vincent stopped midway.
"What does it have to do with you?" Vincent challenged as Sephiroth began to descend towards them.
Anne didn't stir as Sephiroth stared at her sleeping face. Vincent would have moved away if he hadn't had his arms supporting Anne and he was in the middle of the staircase. He didn't risk going downstairs backwards and Sephiroth was blocking the way up. So when Sephiroth reached out and ran the back of his hand down Anne's cheek, the best he could do was give him a warning glare. Sephiroth smirked.
"Her skin is very smooth and warm, isn't it?" he asked and Vincent glowered at him.
With a chuckle, he suddenly seized Vincent by the throat. Vincent tightened his grip on Anne and held his breath as Sephiroth moved his face close to his.
"Nothing happened between you two, right?" he asked, his jade green gaze connecting with Vincent's golden one.
Vincent didn't dare provoke the arguably stronger male so gave him a sincere glare.
"She slept in my bed while I slept on a mattress on the floor," he replied calmly and winced when Sephiroth's grip tightened "We…only hugged. Nothing intimate happened."
Sephiroth narrowed his eyes before releasing his hold.
"Pitiful fool," he commented as Vincent coughed and continued to descend down the stairs.
Vincent glowered at him with a snarl before shifting Anne back into a more comfortable position and continued to ascend the stairs to their form room. He paused as Anne stirred and hugged him tighter.
"You're moving too fast," she yawned and nuzzled his head tiredly.
Vincent smiled softly and began ascending the stairs at a slower pace. As he did, he took a moment to glance down and see Sephiroth talking to Genesis on the bottom floor. Why did Sephiroth care so much about his current target?
