Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Magick In Its Purest Form ❯ Pu-lease. Who cares? ( Chapter 1 )

Okay, this is a highschool fic so anyone not interested, I'm sure you know where the back button is. Though I hope that since you chose to come in, where it clearly says, AU Highschool fic, that you actually want to read this!

Summary: Squall Leonhart is not your average teenager. He's smart A-grade student, dresses in his own style and who cares what others think? (namely black leather and belts galore), is best friends with Balamb Central Highschools loudmouth, is feared by most in the school, including the most popular 'gang' in school, and is apparently GAY! So what happens when someone finally has the guts to push Squall's buttons? Hate, love, or just complete disaster?

Pairings: The main pairing in this fic is Squall/Seifer but there will most definitely be others but what kind of a writer would I be if I told you all of them?

Warnings: This is yaoi, (for those who dont seem to realise with the whole Squall/Seifer thing) and there WILL be graphic scenes in it, though I cant really say where since I dont know.

Disclaimer: I in no way own Final Fantasy VIII ideas, characters or stories. Just using the characters for my own personal pleasure. (And hopefully yours too)

Anyway, enough talk, on with the story! Happy reading!

Chapter 1 - You realise I actually dont care right?

Squall opened his eyes slowly at the sound of his alarm clock. He sat up, groggily wiping his eyes.

"Damn," he muttered.

He was tired as all hell, after staying up late to cram for that maths test. Especially since today would be his first day back in a fortnight, having had a serious cold. He still felt a little under the weather but he didn't want to spend another day sitting in bed with nothing to do but play playstation, read, homework and watch movies. They were nice to do but after two weeks of nothing but, they were getting old.

"Squall? You up? Breakfast is ready!" Squall's younger sister Rinoa yelled out as she knocked on his door far more energetically than Squall would consider needed.

"Yeah, yeah," he called out, knowing that if he didn't answer she would come in and he had forgotten to lock his door last night. Getting out of bed, he chucked on a shirt, having slept in just his boxers because of the heat last night.

-------------------

Squall walked downstairs into the large family kitchen. His three sisters and father were already sitting at the table with their usual routine. Quistis, being the older and far bossier of them all, was serving the pancakes rather then letting everyone get it themselves. Selphie was playing with her food and Rinoa was talking to their father, Laguna, about god knows what.

"Stay up late did we son?" Laguna asked as Squall walked in. Squall didnt even bother muttering his trademark 'whatever' before sitting down. His hyperactive younger sister Selphie passed him the glass jug of orange juice and Squall quickly took it before she managed to empty it on him. She giggled in her eight year old wisdom as Squall fumbled a little in his haste to grab it. Then she began munching on her pancakes. Squall wiped up the small mess he had made and poured himself a glass.

"You have an exam today don't you Squall?" Quistis asked. Quistis was in her last year of high-school whereas Squall and Rinoa were both in year 10, being un-identical twins(1), both of them 16 and it was getting close to mid-year exams. But not quite.

"No, it's just a test," he said before starting to eat his pancakes.

"Oh my god, I totally forgot about that! Can I borrow your notes first period? I have a free," Rinoa said, butting into the conversation, automatically assuming that, despite his two week absence, he had studied for the test. Which was a correct assumption considering it was the reason he had stayed up so late.

"Sure," Squall muttered, not in the least suprised.

Selphie giggled again before she splatted her jam onto her pancake forcefully, making some of it rebound and get her on the face. Squall sighed and leaned over with a napkin and proceeded to wipe it off gently.

"Boom!" Selphie giggled as she bounced around as much as she could with Squall holding her chin in his iron grip to keep her still. Laguna merely smiled at them. Rinoa began talking excitedly to Quistis about the new style of streaks she wanted to put in her hair. Squall finished his meal and stood up.

"I'm going to take a shower," he muttered as he walked away. Not that he needed to warn anyone. With the exception of Selphie they all had their own bathrooms. And when Selphie grew older she would move into one of the rooms on the third floor and have one as well.

------------------------------

Squall was sitting in the passenger seat of Quistis's spotlessly clean BMW, abesntly looking out the window as Quistis tapped her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel.

"God Rinoa, hurry up!" Quistis fumed, honking the horn.

Rinoa came running out of the house in a flurry, her long hair and shoulder bag whipping behind her. Squall wouldnt have been suprised if her bag was full of just make-up rather than school books. She jumped in the car and Quistis took off before Rinoa had even done up her seatbelt.

"Oh Squall, did I tell you about the new hot guy!?" Rinoa asked excitedly. Squall said nothing and Rinoa took that as a no.

"Well, he's a total hunk! You know the green eyed, blonde hair type?" Squall rolled his eyes. Who cared? "And he's a real badass, I mean, you can so tell by what he wears to school! I'm so glad we don't have uniform! And he's made friends with Irvine Kinneas and his gang!" Rinoa really did seem excited. Squall almost groaned. Great, another mindless airhead to add to the pack.

"Don't you have better things to do with your time Rin?" Quistis asked as she turned into the school. "Like schoolwork"

Rinoa merely waved it off and then jumped out of the car as Quistis was still parking it.

"Rinoa!" Quistis cried, exasperated. Rinoa winked.

"Seeya after school," she said before running off.

"I swear she's more effort then she's worth," Quistis muttered as she got out of the car. Squall leaned his head back against the seat. Truth be told all he felt like doing was going to sleep.

"Are you all right Squall?" Quistis asked with concern, leaning back inside the car.

"I'm fine," he muttered, knowing Quistis would believe him.

"Okay, well come on. You're gonna be late for homeroom," Quistis warned. Squall sighed and got out of the car.

"Yo Squall!" a loud voice called out to him. Squall turned as his best friend Zell ran up to him.

"You look like shit, sure you should be back at school? You looked better when I saw you two days ago"

"Zell," Quistis warned as she locked the car. Zell put his hands in his pockets sheepishly.

"Sorry Quisty," he conceded and gave Squall a push. "Come on, lets go before Mr. Pockert decides to give us detention for being on time"

Squall followed him towards the schools entrance without a word.

"Did you hear about the new guy? I kept forgetting to tell you when I visited cause you were always in such a foul mood. Do you have any idea how hard it is to cheer you up!?"

"Rinoa informed me of his highness' presence," Squall muttered, ignoring Zells last comment. Zell looked a little suprised that Squall had answered, but then smiled.

"His higness is right! I mean, my heart belongs to Irvine but Squall, this guy is hot!"

"Whatever," Squall said, not caring at all. Is looks all anyone ever cared about?

Zell sighed at his friends ignorance and clapped him on the back as they walked into homeroom: late and still wearing their bags.

----------------------------

Seifer looked out the window, bored out of his brain. When the door opened he couldnt help but look over there, as did every other student in class. First in came Zell Dincht, the schools loudmouth and then a guy Seifer had never seen before. And Seifer used the term guy loosely, as this one had a pretty boy face and dark chocolate brown hair that almost covered his face. In fact Seifer could hardly see his face at all.

"Late, Mr. Dincht and Mr. Leonhart. Do you have a note and why are you still wearing your bags?" the teacher, Mr. Pockert, demanded. He sounded every bit the idiot that he was.

Zell and 'Leonhart' glanced at each other, then their bags and walked out of the room as Mr. Pockert stuttered and demanded to know what the hell they were doing. Seifer knew that by himself Zell wouldn't have dared to do that so that meant that Squall was the badass attitude influence. Seifer smirked. Perhaps today wouldnt be so boring after all.

--------------------------

Squall slammed his locker shut after grabbing his maths stuff and waited for Zell to finish getting his own stuff. Although it felt great walking out of that losers homeroom class he knew that him and Zell were going to at least get an afterschool for that one. When Squall noticed Zell wasnt being quick about grabbing his stuff he glanced at him. Zell was staring off down the hall. Squall followed his line of sight. Irvine Kinneas, his entourage - three guys named Jack, Lawson and Dominic - and a guy Squall assumed was the new guy, were walking down the hall. It wasn't really a hard comeby assumption for Squall considering the guy had piercing green eyes, blonde hair and he had to admit, was hot.

Squall rolled his eyes, refusing to be impressed by the 5 hot 6" (and over) guys and nudged Zell. Zell glanced at him with a slight smirk and grabbed his stuff.

By the time he had gotten his locker closed Irvines gang were walking past them. The new guy, with obvious deliberate actions, bumped into Squall as he walked past.

"Hey watch it!" Squall snarled. The new guy stopped and turned to face him with an arrogant smirk on his face.

(1) I know there's some sort of scientific name for this kind of twin but Im not a doctor, I have no idea what it is.

And so, this is the first chapter. I hope you liked it. I was going to make it longer and without a cliff hanger but where would the fun be in that? Wait patiently for my update, I hope to hear many reviews from everyone to help me write faster:D

I'll explain the characters more thoroughly next chapter but I hope that they weren't too OOC. I think I got Quistis down pretty well, lol...I hope. Feedback, of course, is great:D
