Façade

Making friends

Killua's POV
My body was covered in sweat. I knew that. It was the same thing every night. I stared up at the ceiling, my lips slightly parted. I was used to my dreams being plagued with nightmares. But it didn't hurt me as much as it used to. I was used to seeing their suffering faces every night. Blaming me. I was becoming immune to those nightmares. It did hurt me from time to time. But the past is the past. I brought my hands to my face and ran my hands through my hair. I got up from the messy bed and headed to ward the bathroom. I took a hot shower washing away those bad bad memories that plague my thoughts in the night. I quickly changed into my school uniform which consisted of a white half sleeved button down shirt and dark long navy blue pants with a red tie that hung loosely around my neck. I had an early breakfast, and raced out of my lonely 2 bedroom apartment. Adrenaline pumped through my veins. I always loved that feeling. I skidded to a stop in front of my best friends apartment. Gon Freecs. I rang the bell and within a second Gon answered the door. His thick black hair was in its spiky hair do as usual and his brown eyes twinkled with excitement. He wore his uniform and he was currently at war with his red tie. I chuckled. "You still don't know how to tie that thing huh?" I said, trying to pry his hands away from the red monstrosity. He playfully slapped my hands away. "This time for sure. I'm going to put this thing on my own" I rolled my eyes at his antics. "Fine Gon. Good luck then" I said as I patted his shoulder and made my way into the house. Gon turned around and gave me his famous pout. "So where's your dad?" I asked grabbing an apple from the fruit basket. It was always like this. I come at least one hour early to Gon's place and we both walk to school together. Or Ging, Gon's dad would drive us. Depends on our mood actually. "Oh, he's on this last minute business trip." He said as he started making waffles. He was making a mess of it really. I sighed. "Cant you even make waffles on your own?" I took over, much to Gon's dismay, but he really couldn't argue. He sucked at cooking. I served him my A-class waffles and we talked about petty matters like usual. He finally got his tie tight and I flicked him on the forehead. "Ow!! What was that for" he said rubbing the sore spot. "I don't know. Just felt like it" I said and shrugged. After a lot of playfully exchanged punched, kicks, and a full fledged glaring contest later the both of us were racing toward Hunter Academy. Our school wasn't the most fancy or anything. It was actually a simple school with an old geezer as its principal. The only problem in this school was the girls. I sighed and rubbed the bridge between my nose. These girls literally leaches sucking on my butt everyday. "Hey Killua! Your usual admirers are here." Gon whispered as I continued to walk as if there was not a horde full of girls flanked on either side of us. "You kind of forget that some of these girls are also your fan girls." I said through gritted teeth. Gon chuckled. "Don't be mad Killua. They just want to be in a relationship with you" said Gon in a sweet voice. At situations like these I really felt like smacking my best friend. I sighed and continued walking toward my class.

Gon's POV
We walked into our class and took our respected seats next to each other. I glanced at Killua who was trying his best to avoid any conversations with any of the girls in the class. I really didn't blame him. He was really popular with the girls. I chuckled on the inside. It was amusing to watch. The teacher coming inside the class made all the students settle down in their respected places. "Alright class today we're going to have a new student. Come on in" she called out. A thin girl with black hair came in. When she turned toward the class I noticed her blue eyes. She let a bright smile grace her lips. Is it my imagination or was that smile really forced? "My name is Yuka Fernandez. Pleased to meet all of you" She made a small bow and straightened. Her blue eyes held a lot of emotion. Solitude? Grief? I couldn't tell. I was brought out of my reverie when I heard the teacher called out to me. I stood up and the girl, Yuka walked over to me and took the seat on my right. She flashed me a forced smile and I frowned. She flinched and turned toward the board. My brows furrowed even more. What was up with her? The rest of the lesson went by with a bored Killua sitting to my left and a agitated Yuka sitting to my right. Immediately after the bell rang,signaling the class was over, I paid close attention to Yuka Fernandez. When she had gotten up and reached the door of the class she was swarmed by girls attacking her with questions of her whereabouts. She looked a little uneasy and surprised but hid everything with a fake smile. She reminded me of.... Killua clicked his fingers in front of me to get my attention. "Ever since that girl came into the class, you've been watching her. What's up?" I redirected my attention to Killua. "Well she just reminds me of a certain someone." Killua shrugged and looked at Yuka and narrowed his eyes. "I don't know about that" he said and I sighed and shook my head.
