Chapter 13:
High School Never Ends
Part II
English, Period 1:
The chalk made an unbearable screeching noise as Axel wrote on the board. In his wake was a disappointing five-digit number. He spun on his heel to face his underlings. The all knowing wicked grin played his lips. "This is my sucky ass salary. S-A-L-A-R-Y. Got it memorized?" With a wink, Axel tapped at his temple. "And as you all can see, it won't be changing for a very, very long time because a certain Principle is freaking greedy as all hell and deserves to die again!" He hissed through clenched teeth.
His student's chuckled, highly amused. The Pyro's antics never cease to amaze them.
Kagome just gaped. The look on her face screamed disbelief.
Axel fiercely turned back to the board. He wrote a larger number beneath the original, the chalk wailing in the whole process.
Kagome winced, but took advantage of Axel's turned back. She looked around at her friends, hoped that one of them could clarify what was going on. Hayner was carving something on to his desk. Roxas was staring off into space as usual. Kairi was writing something in her notebook. And Sora was amusing himself with the melted ice-pack.
Well, Sora is the closest. And it didn't seem like he was doing anything that important.
Kagome stealthily inched her hand to Sora's shoulder, her eyes glancing up at Axel every few seconds. She couldn't afford to get in trouble. Not now. Not on the first day of school. She lightly tapped the brunette's shoulder.
Startled by they sudden contact, Sora jerked up in his seat and immediately dropped the ice-pack on to his desk. He turned to Kagome and raised an eyebrow as if to say: 'What?'.
She leaned in closer to Sora. "I thought this was English. Why's he teaching ... whatever this is suppose to be?" Kagome whispered.
A pleasant smile curled Sora's lips. "Axel's lessons are a bit eccentric, believe me," He chuckled silently to himself, "But on Fridays, he gives us a break from school work and talks about whatever he feels like ... mostly it's been about how the school doesn't pay him enough these days."
Kagome stared at him like he just sprouted a second head. "You've got to be kidding me," She groaned. She alighted her forehead to the desk.
Sora took this as his cue to shrug his shoulders and to once again amuse himself with the watery pack.
The desk radiated a cool air. A shiver crawled up Kagome's spine, it made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. She liked the cold. It gave her the pleasure of knowing that she was still alive, in a sense, in such a cruel world. Kagome dulled her senses, tuned out Axel's annoying lecture, and let her mind drift to this new intriguing comrade.
There was not one doubt in her mind ...
... that Axel is a freaking lunatic.
He was different, granted, but whenever he was around her, Kagome didn't know whether to cower in fear ... or call the police .... she still thinks Axel's a pedophile in the making. He just gives off those vibes.
And more ...
There's an air about him that screams deceptive. His demeanor an adamant facade that Kagome could easily see through. She was able to tell what Axel's true personality was the moment she looked at him: Manipulative. Dangerous. Psychotic. Reckless. Liar. Back-stabber. Deceiving. The list of negatives goes on and on.
What really peeked Kagome's interest though, was that Axel had the same exact aura as both Roxas and Namine. Darkness and Light combined as one. Truly a rare sight to see. And Kagome has seen it three times in a matter of two days. It puzzled her to no end.
In the end, Kagome knew she couldn't trust Axel. At all. She could barely even trust her other friends, let alone him! She had to keep these walls up around her iced heart. For fear that she will be hurt gravely once again. If the walls were to crumble and pain was ensured, she was positive this time, it will kill her in the end ... -
- Clap. "And that's how you make a Molotov Cocktail, kiddies."
Kagome's eyes snapped open.
She was appalled. Axel did not ... he wouldn't have ... he couldn't have ... but he has ... Axel just taught the whole class how to make their own arsenic weapons. Kagome silently banged her head off the desk.
Why Axel was still a teacher was beyond her.
The bell for second period rang.
Students quickly hopped out of their desks and gather the necessary belongings for their next class. Hayner was one of the first people to haul ass out of the room, where as Kagome made a slow process gathering her books.
She was surprised to see that Sora, Roxas, and Kairi were kind enough to wait for her by the door. It was nice of them to think about her. Kagome thought they would have left by now, leave her there to find her next class alone.
"So what's your next class?" Sora flashed Kagome his infamous smile.
She skidded to a halt before the three friends and sighed. "My worst nightmare," She murmured, "Trig." Kagome scrunched her eyebrows, realization dawned on her. "Hey, you know, you guys didn't have to wait for me. Aren't you going to be late?"
Roxas shrugged. "I have next period with you. I don't see why we shouldn't go together."
"Yeah," Kairi nodded with a warm smile, "And besides, Sora and I have Bio, it's on the way there."
Sora laced his hand with his girlfriend's. Her cheeks flushed with pretty color. The Key Bearer waved behind him. "See you, Axel." Sora called over his shoulder as he and Kairi walked out the door.
Roxas cocked his head toward the door. "We should head out too." He mumbled. "See you later Axel." He waved, making his leave.
Kagome nodded to herself and made to follow Roxas.
"New Girl." She could hear the smile in his voice, it made her sick to her stomach.
Kagome stilled. She was halfway through the door, halfway to her salvation. The feeling of dread washed over her. The last thing she wanted was to have a one-on-one talk with Axel, at least not right now. She resisted the urge to groan.
Kagome spun around to acknowledge him. But the instant her chocolate eyes met his blazing emerald one's, she had to tear them away. She settled for looking past his shoulder. It was that feeling again. The feeling Kagome got whenever she was near Axel. The instinct to cower in fear before him. Kagome's hands trembled slightly, she fisted them, tried to make them stop.
She gulped. Kagome despised this guy for bring so much fear out of her. "Yes?" Her voice sounded weak and nimble to her ears. She despised it. She only hoped Axel didn't hear it.
He did.
Said Pyro grinned and moved some papers around on his desk, like he had something better to do than talk to her of all people when really he's just making an act. "Welcome to Twilight High. I'm sure we are going to be great friends." Axel chuckled darkly.
Kagome's eyes narrowed to slits. There was a double meaning to that. She just knows it. What could possibly be Axel's hidden objective?
"Kagome, we're going to be late!" Roxas called.
She blinked Once, twice, three times. She finally remembered where she was. "Goodbye," Her voice stained. She was proud of herself for not snarling at Axel. She defiantly didn't want detention on the first day of school because she was being disrespectful to her teacher. Kagome spun on her heel and stormed out of the room.
Axel's grin was manic. "Ta Ta." He wiggled his fingers. He collapsed into his seat. Reclined back, laced his fingers behind his head, feet propped up on his desk.
The New Girl is highly amusing. Axel's really going to enjoy himself in two weeks.
It was nauseating.
As the four of them walked, the sea of students before them parted. It went unnoticed by Sora, Kairi, and Roxas - like this happened everyday. But not Kagome. She trailed behind the three; her head bowed, eyes hidden by her bangs, body tense.
Everyone stared at her as if she were a science experiment that just up and walked out of Bio. If people were going to gawk at her, they could at least try not to make it so painfully obvious. Guys stopped in the middle of the hall doing double takes. And a good majority of the girls sneered at her like she was nothing but a piece of trash.
Great. Kagome rolled her eyes. She was already hated by the female population ... and it wasn't even third period yet.
That had to be some sort of record.
Trigonometry, Period 2:
So far, a good majority of the teachers that Kagome met should either not be a teacher ... or in jail - the latter mainly for Axel.
When Kagome walked into Trig, the teacher was splayed across his desk snoring. Roxas kicked the desk nonchalantly as he walked by to get to his seat by Namine, and the teacher jolted up immediately.
It didn't really surprise Kagome to find the guy sleeping in class - it seems to happen a lot in this school. No.What really shocked her was that the teacher - Luxord - was drunk off his high horse!
Trig was not how Kagome expected it to be like. It wasn't exactly math, to her relief. But it was more like inaudible babbling and ranting.
Not to mention the cards that continuously throw around the class room.
History, Period 3:
Lexaeus is one scary teacher.
But he's probably the closest thing Kagome will get to a normal teacher in this dysfunctional school. That was for sure.
The moment Kagome walked into that class, there was complete silence. It was completely different from her other classes. Usually everyone is gabbing away until the teacher calls for their attention.
But not in Lexaeus' History class.
The guy gets pissed off even if you make one peep. He could really rip some heads off.
...
....
.....
Kagome cringed.
...
....
.....
Poor Hayner ...
... Kagome took note to never get on Lexaeus' bad side.
Into to Al Bhed, Period 4:
Kagome walked into the room to find another no show teacher. She sauntered to an empty desk in the back of the room. She hooked her bag to the back of her chair, collapsed in her desk in a dead heap.
She hated this! None of her friends were here! And it oddly made Kagome feel open, venerable.
Not to mention ...
Kagome felt the piercing eyes on her the instant she walked in and it wasn't just anyone's.
Kagome peeked through the gap between her crossed arms to find Seifer and his goons sitting mot that far away. The leader of Disciplinary Committee stared her down, a cruel smirked was on his ugly mug. Kagome huffed in disgust and turned her gaze elsewhere ... preferably to the wall. She just wanted to get this class over with and get the hell out of here already -
- Someone kicked her chair. It held enough force behind it to make Kagome jolt up in her seat.. She whipped her head around and glared at the jerk who so clearly loved to torture her.
Seifer.
Of course.
Kagome looked away from him, eyes closed, nose in the air. "What do you want?" She huffed.
Seifer leisurely rested his hand on her desk, putting all his weight on it. He gave her a none-to-friendly cheeky grin.
Kagome glared at the hand in disgust. She would have slapped it off, but was afraid to know where it had been.
"Looks like you didn't take my warning seriously about leaving," Seifer chuckled, "And your friends with the Lamers." He shrugged his shoulders. "Figures someone like you would be one of them." He snorted.
Kagome stared at him in bewilderment. Lamers? Her friends? Her friends were like freaking Saints! What about him and his pals? If anything they were the Lamers. This guy is one rude jackass.
Kagome eyes swiveled to Seifer's direction. "What's it to you, Jerk? At least Sora gave me a warmer welcome than some people." She gave him a dark sidewards glare, a fake smile twisted her lips. "I'm glad to be part of their crew," She cooed in a calm manner.
Seifer's menacingly leaned in closer to Kagome. She gritted her teeth and copied his action, their noses were almost touching. Kagome didn't care though, this guy couldn't lay a finger on her. Unless he wanted to get in trouble.
Seifer snarled: "Why you, Bitch!" A heavy looking text book collided into the side of his head his head. He lost his balance, collapsing on the floor.
Kagome couldn't help it. Her enemy just got a surprised attack. The look on his face was priceless! She burst out laughing, her shoulders shook, one hand over her stomach another over her lips. She really couldn't remember the last time she laughed this hard.
Seifer scrabble to his feet. "Who did that!?" He growled. His wide eyes darted all over the room, looking for the culprit that had the guts to humiliate him of all people.
"You should learn how to treat a lady, Seifer!"
Both Seifer and Kagome's head snapped to the entrance of the room. There standing in all their glory were these three girls that looked a little younger than the two. The one in the middle had short brown hair. She had beautiful bi-colored blue-green eyes. To her right, was a girl with blonde hair. Her jade eyes shimmered with mischief. And to the brunette's left was a girl with short black-gray hair. Her eyes were a emotionless crimson.
"Oh," Seifer sneered. "It's just you midgets."
The blond girl took a deliberate step forward. She thrust her pointer at him. "You know as well as everyone else here that this is not our true for-!"
- The brunette clapped a hand over the energetic blond's mouth. "Shush!" Both she and the crimson eyed girl hissed. The blond looked back and forth between the two, her mouth still running, being muffled by the hand. The brunette and Crimson eyed girl looked pointedly at Kagome.
Kagome's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She couldn't even fathom what that look meant.
"Alright, alright," A guy clapped as he walked in the door. His hair was black with gray streaks, tied into a low pony-tail, also his left eye had an eye patch over it. "Dudes chill and get in your seats." The teacher walked briskly to the chalkboard. He wrote words on the board that, but Kagome didn't understand any of it.
The blond girl broke out of the brunette's grasped. She made a beeline toward Seifer, halted before him, tilted her chin, and pursed her lips. Her eyes glimmered with a hidden ambition.
This was going to be easy and fun.
Seifer stared down at her with a disgusted look. "What do you want?"
The girl stood firm. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by the brute. Instead, she smiled a sweet innocent smile. Then she stepped on his foot and elbowed him in the gut. Seifer doubled over, clenching his stomach.
The crimsoned eyed girl quickly came up behind Seifer - so quick Kagome didn't even see her move. She his back, pushed him toward his friends.
With a giggle, the blond waved. "Bye, bye."
The brunette shook her head and sighed at her two companions.
Seifer stumbled and collided into his friends desk - He couldn't even comprehend what just happened. His head snapped up, his piercing gaze on Kagome and the three girls. But the three girls didn't pay the least bit attention to him. They were to busy chatting away in whispers.
Seifer's eyes clashed with Kagome's. Kagome stuck her tongue out at him. It was childish, yes, but she couldn't resist the urge to taunt him. It made her feel victorious, superior even.
Seifer's lips curled, his teeth bared. 'This is not over,' he mouthed.
Cradling her chin in her hand. Kagome rolled her eyes, showing Seifer how much she really cared. "Whatever," she murmured under her breath. She didn't take the threat seriously. If Seifer thought that he scared her in the least, then the jerk had another thing coming.
"Hello."
Kagome glanced up from beneath her eyelashes. It was the girl with the different colored eyes. She was leaning down, hands were laced behind her back, a warm smile on her lips. Kagome sat up straight and mirrored the smile. "Hi."
"You're a friend of Sora's, right?"
Kagome nodded. "My name's Kagome Higurashi. And you are ..." She tilted her head to the side.
The girl rocked on her heels of her feet. "An acquaintance of Sora as well," She offered her hand to Kagome in a friendly manner. "My name is Yuna."
Kagome slowly lifted her hand and slipped it in to Yuna's awaiting one and shook it with a firm grip. To her surprise, Yuna's was just a firm. "It's nice to meet you." Kagome dropped her hand, clasping it with the other on the desk.
"Likewise."
"Hey, don't forget about us!" The blond exclaimed. She bounced over and pushed her way in front of Yuna. "Hi," She chirped, leaning closer to Kagome - who in return, leaned back in her seat. This girl was a hyper one. "I'm Yunie's cousin, Rikku!"
"Riku?" Kagome asked innocently. What were the chances that two people in this school had the same unusual name.
"Aw," Rikku heaved a heavy sigh. "You too!" She collapsed into the empty desk in front of Kagome.
Yuna giggled at her cousin's distress and slipped int to the seat behind Kagome.
"Tow K's," Murmured the crimson eyed girl. Her voice was dull, emotionless. She looked like she was just about to run off than be anywhere but there. Instead, she settled for sitting in the seat behind Yuna.
Yuna pointer over her shoulder. "This is our friend Pain. And together the three of us are the Gullwings."
"The Gullwings, huh?" Kagome said softly. "Well Yuna, Rikku, Pain, I would like to thank you for helping me with my pest problem." She gave Seifer a hard look with her cold eyes.
The boy just shook his head, slow and deliberate. A smirk was on the nasty mouth of his. Like he knew something that Kagome didn't. And not knowing what this guy had going on in that peanut size brain of his irked her.
"Ah, forget about him." Rikku waved her hand in nonchalant manner. "And it's nothing. Besides," she grinned, "You're part of the crew now."
Kagome made a face. She was about to question Rikku, but the teacher had decided to take that moment to start class, Kagome opted for staying silent for now. She looked around, her eyes landing on each of the three girls, studying them. As she looked at them, a sense of calm watched over. Kagome couldn't help but feel safe around Yuna, Rikku, Pain.
Maybe ... maybe Al Bhed class won't be as awful as she first interpret it to be after all.
Biology, Period 5:
Kagome stared up at the door as if it was the gateway to hell. It might as well have been. Other than the Al Bhed class she dreaded this one the most. All because of one reason. All because of one person.
Riku.
He saw the bruises on Kagome's arms. Kagome remembered vividly the look on Riku's face - a mix between anger and confusion - it made her sick to her stomach even at this very moment.
This is why she didn't want to got to Bio. Because Kagome knew Riku will grill her to no end with questions: Where did the bruises come from? How long have you had them?
Kagome didn't want to deal with that right now. She didn't feel at liberty to tell Riku anything. Especially since she was the one who inflicted those horrid bruises upon herself in the first place.
Kagome stomach churned uneasily again. With a groan she place both hands over her stomach, trying her best to sooth it in the least. The gesture didn't help that much. If anything, Kagome though it made everything worse.
She felt ill. Maybe she cold take an absence from this class and head on over to see Dr. Lucrecia. If Kagome was lucky enough, Dr. Lucrecia could possibly give her the rest of the day off.
Kagome shook her head at the ridiculous thought, brushing it off. Nonsense! She knew she was putting this all in her head just so she doesn't have to see Riku's face. Well enough was enough. Kagome wasn't going to let one boy ruin the rest of her day at school. She was stronger than this.
She can do this.
With that thought in her head, Kagome grasped door knob and pulled it open. A cool breeze hit her body as she walked into the classroom with her shoulders back, back straight, and chin up.
She can do this.
Hmmm, Not my best, right? I thought it wasn't all that great either because of the lack of interesting events. Sorry.
It just too long to keep going.
So to make it up, two big events will happen in the next chapter.
Something is going to happen to two people.
A hint: One gets hurt. Another is on the floor of ths School's hallway!
Not really a good one, huh? Oh well!
