I was sitting in class looking over at nothing in peculiar, feeling extremely bored with this lesson. You would think that a school that's supposed to ready you for your venture into space would be oh I don't know a little more INTERESTING!? This was not any different than any ol regular school out there... well besides from the combat training and the flight simulations and other stuff but the rest of the classes are so BORING!.
With a quiet sigh I looked at my watch on my wrist in hopes of us being one tick away from the class being done with but nope we have at least another ten minutes to go...great. It felt like an eternity before class was over with and I was racing out those halls towards the cafeteria.
I got my usual meal and went over to my table that my friends were already seated at waiting for me to come and join them. I smiled happily, happy to see them. I don't have as many classes as I would like to have with the three and I have even less with Hope since he has more tech classes. Out of the three of us, I think he studies the most, Serah coming in second.
But that doesn't mean that I don't either cause if my grades drop I'm out of here and I would never let my dreams slip through my fingers all because I was too dumb to study. It's just that most of the classes are boring if it isn't space related or will help me later on in life I don't really see the point in paying attention to it.
"Hey guys" I greeted taking my seat as they returned the greetings. "Are we still on for the movies?"
"I'm still on," Noel said with Serah confirming as well.
"My plans haven't changed" I nodded to Hope's response just as Serah perked up.
"Oh, I almost forgot, have you guys heard what happened in flight simulations today?" I shook my head as we gave her our attention.
"I was delivering some papers for my teacher when I passed by flight class and one of the students blew an engine" Hope and I frown but I was the one to speak.
"But it's just a simulation how could a student do that?" Hope agreed.
"It must have been faulty from the start" Noel shrugged Hope's explanation.
"Maybe but they still got in trouble due to their pilot's reckless behavior" Noel took a bite from his lunch after saying his piece.
"Who was the pilot?" I asked out of curiosity. Serah pointed over to the tan Cuban boy sitting quite a way from us so it's pretty likely that he didn't hear us.
"Figures" I'm always hearing something about him so I shouldn't have been surprised that this news was about him as well but most of the trouble I hear about him is about his one-sided rivalry...at least I think it's one-sided the other guy never really showed any signs of him thinking of what the brunette was anything short from being a dumb-ass.
At least that's what I picked up from their interactions. I stopped thinking about the brunette and his escapades and went back to my meal and a more normal conversation with my friends.
After we finished we went back to class with Noel, Serah and I headed to the same class and because of that the classes were less boring with Noel and carefully swapping notes here and there while leaving Serah out of it.
Because she likes to pay attention without any distractions and we didn't want to disturb her, that girl can get really scary when she wants to. Thanks to Noel every boring class went by in a flash and the ones I actually enjoyed were even more enjoyable and soon school was over and the three of us finished up the rest of our business before leaving our dorms with permission slips well I would have if I hadn't lost mines.
"Seriously Maira you lost your's?" Serah who wasn't my dorm-mate sadly said with disbelief as I nodded in a disappointed manner.
"Yes," I continued moving stuff around in hopes of finding it but came up empty-handed. I sighed as I checked the time, realizing that I was holding them up I turned to tell her to go on without me and that I would catch up later.
She was reluctant but eventually did as told and left. I don't know how long I spent looking for it but I do know the more I did and the longer that I couldn't find it the more I thought about just sneaking out but I just couldn't, if I got caught I would be in big trouble might even get kicked out kind of trouble... but would they really do that? I mean it would be my first time and I haven't done anything that big so I think they would let me off with a warning right?
Feeling convinced I wasted no more time and quickly but carefully put my escape into motion. I walked the halls causally passing fellow classmates and teachers who had not a single clue that this bird was about to fly the coop. Once I got to where I needed I stuck close to the walls and moved alongside them. And I was doing pretty good too almost ninja level good.
I smirked to myself when I thought of how well I was doing. 'How come I have never thought of doing this before? I am surprisingly good at this'
"What are you doing?" I stiffen when I heard an unknown voice speak. My heart rate fasten as I considered booking it to the gate wasn't even that far from me and I'm a pretty fast climber and running so, I had a pretty good chance of making it.
But I didn't run and instead came up with the lamest excuse ever. "My back was itching" Yup you may facepalm at that one if you so wish.
"You're back was itching?... and what? You deiced to use a wall to scratch it?" I hummed as I nodded in response to afraid to open my stupid mouth in fear of another lame lie.
"Right..." They clearly weren't convinced so plan B was looking like more and more appealing. "Who's that," He said out of nowhere and I looked towards where his hand was pointing, barely spotting a red jacket wearing figure hop the fence.
"Heck if I know" I turned towards the dark blond who I have been talking to. He raised a brow with a look that said he didn't believe me.
"So that wasn't a fellow rule breaker of your's?" I shook my head as he shrugged.
"Well if you say so" He patted my back before placing his arms behind his head. "I'm just going to go to my resting spot enjoy your freedom and try not to get caught on your way back" He gave me his back walking over to a certain spot and laid down.
Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth I rushed over to the fence and scaled it before hopping over to the other side. I texted them that I was on my way and should be there in no time and it almost felt like I was.
"Look who made it," Noel said the moment he spotted me walking in their direction. I held up a v sign with my two fingers as I stopped in front with Sarah smiling.
"Where did you find it?" Serah asked as we walked into the theater.
"Uh it was under my shoe" She hummed as we got our tickets to the movie Loved By The Gods, I wanted to see it the moment I saw the trailers for it. Whoever edits that thing did a good job, it showed just enough to catch my attention without spoiling the movie like most trailers do.
Maybe I'm about to sell the movie more than what it's worth but god damn did I love it! there wasn't a moment when watching it did I consider dull or boring. When we left I was so excited that I couldn't shut up about it.
"That was such a good movie" I gushed. "The fighting was so cool and the romance between her and Geno was beautiful," I thought back to the poetry-loving warrior male only to have it busted by Serah of all people.
"I don't know I think she should have gone with Angelo" I looked at like she was crazy. "He just seemed so much more loving and like a better fit" I gasped.
"No way Geno was the better fit even the movie thought so" This went on for awhile with Noel and Hope being unfortunate to witness it.
The argument only ended when I realized that we were at the place I needed to go. "Yes, they have it" I ran over to it while the three were left wondering what it was.
"Have what?" Hope walked over after I had already purchased the items, turning to him with the four charms in hand, I smiled.
"These I placed an order a few days back for custom made charms bracelets with cute chibi versions of us on them" I explained slipping mines on while handing him his. He took it and placed it on much like I wanted as I proceeded to give Noel and Sarah their's.
"Why would you do that?" Noel questioned.
"We are going to graduate soon so I would like if maybe we could each have something that reminds us of each other" I gave my reasoning as I remembered when Serah and I were young and how close we were until she moved. And I remembered how sad I was and how when the years passed I almost forgot about her and the fun times were shared... I didn't want things to end up like that again not with Noel, not with Sarah and not with...Hope... I don't really like thinking about it but I do still have feelings for the silver-haired boy but I know that he doesn't return them which is why I don't like thinking about it.
I push it aside and just try to focus on the friendship that I have with him and the others and that's enough for me. We spent a little more time having fun outside before heading back and of course, I had to break off from them so I could sneak back in so, coming up with an excuse I got them to go ahead and went the other way in.
When I got back to my dorm I saw that my roommate was already asleep so I tried to be as quiet as possible undressing and changing into my pj's.
