Chapter 2: Welcome to my Nightmare
 
An hour after they all had gotten into the car, Eclipse found himself in the dean of students' office waiting patiently for his schedule. He wound up looking through his bag wondering what Rain had stuffed in there. The other night before going to bed, she'd taken his bag from him.
 
The door to the office swung open and Marcus, the Dean, quickly made his way to the desk. “I'm sorry it took so long, Mr. Rosencruiz-Ravenheart, I had to verify your schedule with the Administration assistant first,” Marcus rapidly went over as he sat down at his desk. Eclipse inwardly winced when the Dean had used his full last name but kept an emotionless face on. “What we've done is put you in your sister's class so you can get more acquainted with the school.”
 
Eclipse's eyes narrowed when he heard he'd be placed into his sister's class.
 
“Sir, if it is appropriate to ask this question, why am I being placed in my sister's class? I should be in my sophomore year, I don't think I'm ready for senior year, despite all I've done, I'm just talented with learning language, I'm not ready for the criteria of 12th grade.” He asked quietly and evenly.
 
Marcus frowned and handed Eclipse his schedule. “I don't know what you mean, unless you have a sister going here with a different last name, because Rain Lucricea Rosencuiz- Ravenheart is a student in the ninth grade and I've personally looked into your past school records and I've seen that despite your tremendously terrific records, I see you've failed to take a year's worth of Spanish.”
 
Eclipse tilted his head in wonder. “But sir, I've already taken French, Japanese and Germen. I should be a sophomore.”
 
Marcus nodded, taking out Eclipse's past school records. “However, not only have you failed to take a course in Spanish, you've also not taken any technical subjects. You need to take Inventions and Graphic Design. Since you've come to late to take Graphic arts, it's alright if you just take Inventions and Spanish, I can look past the Graphic Design.”
 
This is bullshit! Bullshit I tell you! Eclipse desperately wanted to yell out those words, but also had other…thoughts going through his mind.
 
She is dead. I thought when she came here they let her skip into senior year! The damn girl's smart enough to be a senior! I should have known when I saw that Raenef and his friends were too young to be seniors! Eclipse growled and stomped out of the office, his book bag hauled over his shoulder.
 
“Damn fucking piece of shit school!” He yelled once outside of the office. He stomped a foot to emphasize his anger and scared the lady at the front desk.
 
“Um, sir, you might want to watch your language…” The small Asian woman behind the desk whispered, too intimidated by Eclipse's anger to bear her voice any braver. Eclipse, not wanting to set a bad example of himself to the teachers on his first day, bowed to the petrified secretary.
 
“I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness.” He said quickly before taking off to his first class of the day. He would stop every few moment and admire the paintings on the wall; they ranged from paintings of cars to George W. Bush on fire. However, when Eclipse arrived at the painting of the current president, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Ahh, politics. He thought to himself. Glad I'm not involved with them. After a few seconds of staring at the piece of art, Eclipse spotted a small sign below the picture, indicating where he was going.
 
“Fish Bowl.” He read out loud. He glanced at his paper that read, 1st period, Math/Scinece, Munshi, Feroze, Fish bowl. Apparently, he was in the right place. He gave a heavy sigh and pushed the doors open, walking into his first day of what was sure to be hell.
 
~@~@~@~@~@~
 
“So, where's Eclipse, Rae?” Chris asked. He threw down his backpack and landed in the nearest seat to him. Raenef, Erutis and Rain were all seated at the same table, patiently- er, well, more like impatiently waiting for their teacher, Feroze, to start the lesson.
 
“Well, I had to take him to Marcus, and Marcus said it'd only take a few seconds…” Rain trailed off and found throwing her pencil up in the air much more entertaining then explaining where her big brother was.
 
Raenef gave out a small snort. “Well, come on, it's Marcus, do you really think it'll just take `a few minutes'?” He asked.
 
Chris and Erutis broke out into a miniature giggle fit. “Yeah, in Marcinese `a few seconds' could mean the rest of your life.”
 
This statement got Rain giggling. She cast a glance at Raenef who seemed less then cheerful about anything.
 
Aww, come on, Rae. Cheer up!” Rain said. Her failing attempt didn't go by unnoticed by Erutis.
 
Lately, Rain would come over to their house and she and Raenef would lock themselves up in the blonde's room so they could study Al Bhed, the made up language from the Final Fantasy series. What bugged Erutis the most was that Rain and Raenef learned it so they could speak to each other without anyone knowing what they were talking about.
 
What if I don't want to cheer up?” Raenef said. Chris rolled his eyes and gave Raenef a fake punch to the arm.
 
“Hey, are you guys going to speak English anytime soon?” Erutis asked, her annoyance visual to everyone at the table.
 
“Nope.” Rain quipped. She flashed a grin and turned back to the blonde.
 
Seriously, what's wrong?” She asked. Even with no knowledge of the damn RPG language, Chris and Erutis could tell that Rain was worried.
 
Nothing, I'm just not in a good mood and my arm stings.” Was the reply. Rain shook her head and leaned it on Raenef's shoulder. In response to his best friend's comfort, the other leaned his head in return.
 
You've been cutting. Where?” Raenef felt like laughing at the other's concern. If she didn't want him cutting why give him perfect switchblades to cut with?
 
Don't tell me it's wrong. If you do, I'll know you're talking bullshit.” He mumbled. He heard a sigh come from Rain and twitched his eyes down at her.
 
I'm not going to tell you anything. You know I do that too. I refuse to tell you what you can and cannot do. You know I won't. It's your life to live, not mine.” Suddenly, Rain took on a serious air. Raenef sighed and wrapped an arm around Rain, giving her a tight hug; an embrace that the girl happily accepted.
 
“I love you Raenef, even though I know you'll never love me in return, at least, not the way I love you.” The words she said were true. She did know that Raenef wouldn't return her feelings; he was gay and she had accepted that a long time ago.
 
Raenef smiled; flattered that such a beautiful creature would love him. This also deeply saddened him. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't return these feelings for her.
“Rain, I am deeply sorry for not returning your feelings. But I do love you, you're my little sister!” His kind words made Rain feel happy and jittery inside, but she didn't let it show.
 
“Thank you, Rae.” She muttered. Blushes creped to her face when she felt a pair of warm lips brush her cheek. She giggled and gave the taller blonde a hug, causing giggles to come from Erutis and Chris.
 
“Raenef, are you sure you're gay? You and Rain make a cute couple!” Chris whispered to the emotionless blonde, earning him a smack in the head as a reward for asking the question.
 
“Hey, go get a room you guys!” A shrill, annoying voice squealed from out of nowhere. Raenef rolled his eyes and turned to the direction of the voice to find a tall longhaired Asian starring amusedly at the “couple”.
 
“Shut up, Meila! You're not funny!” Rain accused. The same routine was played every day, and quite frankly, Rain was sick of it. The said Meila rolled her eyes and leaned on one foot.
 
“We all know you guys are going out, just make out why don't cha?” She asked. This earned her glares from four different people.
 
“Cut it out, Meila. Rain's right, you're not funny!” Raenef turned to find a fellow classmate, Jessie coming to his and Rain's defense. Thankful for this, the tall blonde let out a sigh of relief and slipped his arm from around the brunette.
 
Meila rolled her eyes and turned to walk away, adding extra swish to her step, making her seem like an underclass whore.
 
“Okay, time to get started!” The teacher, Feroze, entered the classroom, a Starbucks Venti Caramel Macchiado in his hand, ready to start the day.
 
“Finally!” The four heard Jessie say in an over exaggerated tone. A weak smile came to Raenef's features as he got out his math notebook and got ready to take notes. Count on Jessie to be her drama geek self.
 
`
A little over half an hour later, the class was fully engaged in their group projects (building a roller coaster).
 
“But you need to have some sort of thrust at the beginning of the coaster so it'll even move!” Raenef argued. “You can't have our coaster run on magnets!”
 
“Yes, you can! You can use magnetic force to power the carts.” Chris shot back, wanting to use his plan of magnets over Raenef's idea of electrical circuits. Raenef growled and felt as if steam was erupting from his ears.
 
“Chris, it makes more sense, if you have the coaster running on magnets, then how will you stop it?” He asked.
 
“Easy!” Chris exclaimed. “You set the magnets on certain spots on the ride and they'll slow down when you don't have the magnets there.”
 
Raenef shook his head and buried it in his hands.
 
“I give up. There's no convincing you!” He whimpered. Raenef didn't bother to look up because he knew he'd see one of Chris's ridiculous victory dances.
 
Trying his best not to think about the throbbing beginning to form in his head, Raenef cast his gaze in another direction and his breath caught. There, at the doorway talking to Feroze, was Eclipse. The blonde's breath caught and he immediately turned to Rain with a million questions.
 
~*~*~*~*~*
 
Eclipse stayed planted in the single spot while he pretended to listen to Marcus and Feroze's conversation. He allowed his gaze to wander around the room. There was nothing really new to him in the bright white room decorated with at least a dozen or so computers, just a room of immature ninth graders.
 
This is going to be a long year. The tall raven-haired teenager mumbled to himself. I'm not going to survive this… These thoughts came to a halt and he went rigid when a certain person caught his eye. The same Raenef he'd been admiring for a small while now sat at a table with Rain. However, Eclipse wasn't exactly thrilled when he saw his little sister continuously whispering things into Raenef's ear. He didn't know why, but he felt as if a knife was ripping at his insides and mixing them around. It wasn't a pleasant feeling.
 
“Eclipse, eh?” The voice startled the raven-haired teen from his thoughts and Eclipse turned to the source of the voice.
 
“Yes sir.” He replied with his even, monologue voice. He didn't even bother to directly look at the math professor.
 
“Well, I'll put you in Philip's group with Phillip, Rain, Raenef, Meila and Jessie.” Eclipse wanted to groan to himself. He tuned Feroze out and eyed the group he was assigned too. Rain was speaking to a boy around Raenef's height, with brown curls for hair and pimples, which decorated his face and trying to keep her cool. Eclipse had the urge to chuckle as he could tell Rain's patience with the other boy was wearing thin.
 
Another part of him wanted to make sure Rain didn't lose her temper. She was extremely powerful for a female demon of her age, and getting her angry was surly the last thing anyone would do in their lives. He turned to Raenef and Chris, only to see the stunning blonde trying to obtain Rain's attention and Chris performing ridiculous gestures in victory.
 
“So, you're good to go, if you have any further question on your assignment, ask any of your team members, I have to sort out your papers in my office.” As quick as the sentence was said, the older Hillcrest inhabitant left and was out of sight.
 
Damn, He grumbled to himself. I wish I'd actually paid attention to him. However instead of dwelling on the thought, he went over to his little sister.
 
“I have a bone to pick with you.” He growled. Rain squealed and jumped from her conversation with the brown haired boy and faced Eclipse with wide eyes.
 
“Wow! Are you tutoring in this class?” She asked, the nervousness in her voice made it clear she was lying through her skull.
 
The tall raven glared at her. “No. I happen to have been placed in this class. Tell me, Rain. Why was I told by father you skipped to senior class?” Eclipse asked, his voice as cool as the dead of a winter's night.
 
This had no intimidating effect on the lithe girl, for she simply rolled her eyes and stood from her chair.
 
“You actually believe everything that father says to you?” She asked. She sent a mock glare to the other who sighed in defeat and took a seat next to Raenef.
 
“I can tell you one thing.” Raenef said, finding the courage to speak in Eclipse's presence a hard task for him to accomplish. Almost immediately, he found himself the center of Eclipse's attention. For a moment, Raenef's speech left his throat and stared into the deep recesses of the crimson depths before him. He got himself lost in them, as if he'd been swallowed whole.
 
“And that is?” Eclipse asked. He didn't fail to see the look in the blue-eyed individual's orbs. It was one of lust, at least, that was what Eclipse was accustomed to. He'd been on the receiving end of it so many times in the past. However, he was not so caught up that he didn't hear Raenef's comment.
 
“You're gonna catch hell.”
 
Eclipse groaned and his head introduced itself to the hard wooden table.
