Stupid school.
Kadaj scowled out of the car window, his little hands nervously clenched on the straps of his backpack. There were kids milling around the common and running back and forth across the street—generally just everywhere being loud and intimidating.
“You’re alright, yo,”
Kadaj turned his head and gave him the Biggest Eyes, an expression of resigned terror on his pretty face.
“Can’t I just stay home?” he begged.
“Look at it this way, baby—school means new clothes,”
But even the temptation of a shopping trip couldn’t erase Kadaj’s sick fear of kids his own age. He flinched when a gaggle of girls bounced past the front of the car, all of them looking in with cruel, curious eyes before giggling. One of them even winked at
“Please?!” Kadaj wailed.
Again,
Relenting in the face of Kadaj’s obvious distress,
“That’s better,”
Kadaj reached for the handle, flustered, and scowled when he noticed that a lot of people had stopped and were staring into the car.
“What’s wrong with them?” he asked, annoyed.
“They’re asking the same thing, yo,”
Sighing heavily, Kadaj opened the door and stepped out, saying a soft, forlorn little goodbye as he closed the door behind him.
“Wow. Was that your boyfriend?”
Kadaj grimaced internally while affixing a haughty smile—he had
There was a group of four girls standing together staring at him, each of them somehow managing to clutch an armload of books and each other at the same time. They were pretty girls, well dressed (
Relentlessly containing his screaming nerves, Kadaj reached up in a languid, bored movement and brushed his hair behind his ear, sighing, “No.”
With a perverse sense of humor that was strangely like
“
Kadaj broke away from the knot of teenagers surrounding him and rushed to hug his brother, who was leaning against the car with his usual composed reserve. The older man caught him, startled into soft laughter and flustered by his reaction.
“How was it, Kadaj? You actually look happy!” he said, giving the boy an awkward pat and putting a little distance between them, though Kadaj still managed to drape against him like a cat, as was his habit.
“It was great!” the boy gushed, and turned to wave cheerily at the other kids, who waved back. Overflowing with happiness, he flung himself on his brother again and hung around his neck, pressing his face to
“Goodness, you’re certainly excitable today,”
“Yes,
“Rascal!”
As Kadaj got in, a female voice questioned, “Kadaj! Is that your boyfriend?”
Kadaj giggled, poised with one long leg in the car and rolling his eyes because he and Yazoo really looked alike and anyone could see that but Trista was kinda dumb and way too curious for her own good, so he gleefully yelled, “No, silly! He’s my brother! Duh! I don’t have a boyfriend!”
He flopped into the car with an exasperated, happy “tsk” and buckled his seatbelt.
“Well…and you were so worried about going to school,”
Kadaj leaned his head back against the seat and smiled, actually tired out by his day though he’d done little but register for classes, get his schedule set up, and be shown around the campus. It was a pretty nice school. A private school. And the ugly old lady who called herself The Principal had lectured him on what an honor it was to be accepted. She didn’t know what Reno had told him, that Rufus Mother-Hater ShinRa had arranged for him to attend…seeing as he’d commissioned the building of the school and supported its expenses, seeing as it was a school that catered to the New and Improved ShinRa Company employees’ children, Kadaj guessed the man could put pretty much whoever he wanted to in it. Still, he didn’t much like the idea of having to owe the snobbish blond man, and it would put a bit of a damper on his daydreams of knocking Rufus off of tall buildings, this time with no ugly Elena or somber Tseng to catch him…
“Nothing,”
Kadaj pouted, then laughed, feeling too good to be cranky.
The drive home refreshed him and by the time
“…and when Reno drove off all of these girls were standing there and they were hanging on each other like they were sisters or something—but they’re not, I found out later—and they wanted to know if Reno was my boyfriend,” Kadaj said, trailing Yazoo in through the lobby and waving at the security guard. “—hi, Frank! So I told them that he was my dad and they all got really funny looks on their faces and it looked like the face that lady made at the grocery store yesterday when I kissed you—” Kadaj bounded up the stairs after Yazoo, who was blushing afresh at the mention of the incident. “—so I said that we’re a really close family and they started giggling and don’t you think it’s kind of annoying the way girls giggle all the time and always go around in big groups instead of just by themselves? And I didn’t really know why they thought it was so funny but I figured I’d better start making friends because Reno said that I needed to be around kids my own age—” he pushed past Yazoo when his brother opened the apartment door and immediately tossed his backpack down, never missing at beat. “—whew, that was heavy! So I started laughing, too, and they thought it was cute or something so they walked me to see The Principal and she’s an ugly old lady with a big mole on her face and when I told her she should have it removed she got really angry at me but the girls laughed about it later and they showed me around and that place is really big, Yazoo! I have so many books I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get a backache from carrying that bag all of the time and I want to bring my own lunch because school lunch is just gross and you’d think since Rufus Mother-Hater ShinRa owns it he could afford to let them serve decent food and I don’t want to starve—”
“Hey, how’d it go?”
“I don’t know,”
“What?” Kadaj asked, pausing his excited commentary long enough to gulp a breath. He gave

happily awaiting more... =]
