Hi and welcome to chapter two of Forgotten but not forever and now the story starts I will once more say this is when he's 13 so he knows nothing about his family and believe me that's ages away.
Secondly I would like to thank my friend Shashi for helping me come up with this idea and for letting me use it .If you don't know this chapter is based on something my friend did at intermediate school and for anyone's info intermediate is what we in NZ call Form one and two.
I Hibeki do not own final fantasy eight and never will all characters except my OCs James, Zek and Julia are property of square Enix which is the second best game company ever (Namco is best Tekken rules).But Squares music rules okay that was random but yeah If you have not guessed I'm a tekken fanatic so yeah I don't own anything so yeah.
Chapter 2: I dare you
Thirteen year old Zek Loire was relaxing on a bench outside in one of the many large courtyards in Balamb Garden with his friends Julia and Hector .It was a blistering hot lunchtime they had exactly thirty minutes till their next class would begin and to put it quite bluntly they were bored so bored that Hector was taking his time showing a new kid the map of Garden and all its short cuts.
While Zek was trying to eat his chocolate bar without Julia giving him a pleading puppy dog looks "come on Zek just a little piece," she said in a pleading voice he held it up so she could not get at it .Zek was getting frustrated and yelled back at her "no my chocolate bar get your own," she hastily answered back but still kept up her pleading look and replied "I can't they ran out before I got there."
Zek laughed evilly "mwa ha ha ha," Hector and the new kid were now staring at him blankly "what can't a guy laugh evilly once a while," he exclaimed in defence at his friends stares.
The new kid looked at Zek then at Julia and finally Hector and asked "are they always this weird," Hector sighed and nodded Zek just scowled back at Hector "hey I can hear ya know," he retorted causing Hector to snigger.
"What's so funny," he asked with a look of confusion planted on his face Hector calmed down and snidely remarked "you sounded just like Rajin there," Zek rolled his eyes "whatever," he said.
James the kid Hector had been giving an in depth explanation of garden to suddenly changed the subject the three friends arguments were getting a bit old "so what do you guys do for fun around here."
Zek and Julia both smirked Hector just groaned as Zek spoke first "depends what you call fun," James had dealt with this before and decided to question further "try me," he dared Zek grinned again before asking him once more "lots of things but what's your idea of fun anyway."
Julia decided to join in and asked James again "come on tell us what you think we should do," Hector sighed shaking his head worryingly Zek shot him an innocent expression. Julia backed him up verbally this time "what you think we're going to do Hector play chess that's so yesterday," Julia said in a girly voice.
"Yeah we're good students we never do anything wrong do we Julia…,"Zek said a loud causing several students in earshot to stare at them he frowned "okay so we aren't perfect," Zek defended ,Hector sniggered a bit then replied "perfect you two are anything but perfect ."
Zek scowled and turned to James again intent on changing the subject "okay James what do want to do," he asked James for the fifth time James scratched his head in thought for a few minutes.
Zek was getting impatient James could tell and randomly announced "um what about I dare you ," this caused both Zek and Julia to smirk while Hector groaned loudly at the thought of the last time they had played that game.
They stood in a group and started to play papers scissors rock (A/N you all heard of that game right) after about three attempts it came to Zek. This caused Hector to laugh Zek just frowned "ha ha shame Zek, hey James do me a favour make it something really good," he told James though giggles of laughter.
James smirked and exclaimed "okay see that guy with the bottle of Mountain dew in his hand ,"Zek nodded and Hector quite bluntly pointed out "his names Squall James he's known as the lone wolf around here," Zek frowned "just tell me what you want me to do," He demanded.(A/N Mountain dews my favourite fizzy drink)
James grinned evilly and Hector groaned again "damm another dare devil," he said out loud causing Julia and Zek to smirk "Hector relax we won't do anything like last time okay ,"he assured him Hector gave him a cock eyed look and bluntly remarked "yeah I'll believe it when I see it Zek."
James coughed a few times to get their attention "okay Zek you see the Mountain dew bottle he's holding well go up to Squall take the bottle and run twice around this courtyard no cutting corners either," he stated causing Zek to frown slightly.
Zek complained "hey no fair that's too evil man ,"this time James smirked evilly causing Hector to bluntly say "and your not Zek ," Zek sighed knowing Hector was right sucked.
Zek sighed again "fine I'll do it but I choose who does the next dare," he demanded to the other three they all nodded in agreement and waited for the show to start.
Zek counted to five and walked slowly towards Squall who was sitting on a bench by himself as usual he glanced at Zek but did not act until Zek had grabbed the Mountain dew bottle from out of his hand and ran as fast he could around the courtyard twice.
As Zek did this he got strange glances from about twenty garden students not to mention an angered expression from Squall himself Seifer however was smiling with his two poses following suit. He came at the others only to be told bluntly "you cut a corner the deal was no cutting corners do it again," James said rather snidely the other two barely sustaining sniggers of laughter Zek cursed them all under his breath "you are all going down James its your turn next" he muttered.
So Zek once more ran around the courtyard receiving yet more glances and just as he was about to reach his friends he ran straight into Seifer Rajin and Fujin making Seifer spill coke over his trench coat the whole court yard went silent.
Zek thought about how he could get out of this in one piece Seifer was not a person to make enemies with "uh hi Seifer how's things," he said nervously while attempting to step away very slowly.
Seifer however was not intent on letting him get away so he grabbed Zek by the collar of his uniform shirt "hey Loire you caused me to stain my trench coat how you going to pay me back or do I have to smash you up," he demanded. Zek gulped then seemed to gain some confidence "uh I have a chocolate bar in my pocket you can have it and you hate Squall right so you should like what I just did anyway," he stated bluntly .Seifer considered it for a second then dropped him hard on the concrete "okay I will let you off lucky this time that chocolate bars mine though oh and I've been having problems with my computer so come to my dorm after classes end and fix it for me or else," he threatened Zek sighed and unwillingly agreed.
Hector snickered before turning to the other two in front of him "James ,Julia, Zek is so going to get us back later but still this was so worth it," he told him James shrugged "of course he is but who cares," Julia said enjoying Zeks humiliation James just continued laughing.
Zek walked back to his friends and gave them all a death glare while still holding an unopened Mountain dew bottle "that was cruel James Squalls never going to look at me the same way again ,"he said wincing at the thought of what people will say in his next class.
The others were still in fits of laughter Zek rolled his eyes "who's turn is it next its James isn't it," Zek said almost grinning at the many evil thoughts in his head.
Hector nudged his shoulder "uh Zek Squalls leaving you better give him his Mountain dew back ya know," Julia stated matter of factly Zek turned to her and remarked "now who sounds like Rajin ," she glared as Zek ran off to meet up with Squall .
Squall was now in the cafeteria heading for the main lobby he ran after Squall and soon caught up with him Squall ignored him "hey sorry my friends kinda dared me back there so yeah here's your drink back."
After he finished apologizing Squalls expression still didn't change "whatever," was all Squall said leaving Zek with an unopened bottle of drink.
Hector, James and Julia had caught up to him now and Hector seemed to be carrying all their bags "hey Zek what did he say," Julia asked Zek shrugged and turned to face his friends.
"Nothing really he just left and said he didn't care oh well at least I got a free drink of mountain dew from it," he said still confused at how squall had acted.
Julia snatched the bottle from Zek "well if you don't want it I'll have it," she said as the bell rang above them Zek yelled at her "hey that's mine give it back".
Zek snatched his bag from Hector who had ended up holding on to it all of the lunch break "hey aren't you going to thank me," he demanded Zek looked at him blankly for a second then replied "why you made me do that so just returning the favour."
Hector looked the two thirteen year olds that were running ahead shocked James patted him on the shoulder "relax Hector he had a point that was a cruel dare," he said .Hector grabbed James by his spongebob t-shirt causing him to drop his map of garden "you're the one who dared him to do it in the first place," he stated causing James to shrug and head off to class "whatever I got to find my maths class after all I heard instructors are really strict here."(A/N spongebob rules)
Well that's chapter two done the dare with the bottle was based on my friend Shashi only for her none of the other stuff happened and it was a coke bottle.
Please review I don't bite
