The Senior Class War

Yay! It's one of the ones I wanted to write. A bunch of Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy/other characters in Twilight Town High.

It's several characters' senior year in the high school, where there is a yearly war between The Football/Lacrosse people & cheerleaders VS. The Music/Arts/Science people (jocks and outcasts, pretty much) and this year promises to be even better. You see, this fic was based off of My Chemical Romance's video for "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)". The video is hysterical – I order you to go watch it.

This'll probably be in first person, with different characters telling the story.

First off, Cloud.

Chapter 1: Cloud

First day Observations

Brilliant. Just brilliant. The first day of Senior year and the announcements of the President and Vice President. President: Squall "It's Leon" Leonhart. Vice President: Myde Valentine AKA, other than Seifer Almasy, Leon's biggest rival.

I figure that they'll kill each other by the end of the day. If the war hasn't started by then.

What's going on is that the Senior class has a war, almost quite literally and it's typically between the Jocks like myself, who are football, hockey and lacrosse, and the Outcasts, arts/music, like Myde, which is odd, because an Outcast almost never gets voted into one of the offices.

Of course, most of the Outcasts in our class are quite pretty. It would only make sense that the head of them would be voted in.

…Leon says I'm just biased because I'm dating the younger brother of one of them. I beg to differ. Just because I'm dating one doesn't mean I'm biased. It means that I'm more likely to see that they're all kind of pretty.

Leon, well… he flat out hates them, and they hate him. Something to do with Myde and when they were kids, they were friends but something happened and now they're not. I'm not sure. Ask Leon, but don't expect an answer.

"Hey, Cloud, you okay?" someone asks me. I look at them for a moment until it registered that Aerith had asked me if I was okay.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine," I replied.

"Strife, Gainesboro, pay attention! It's the first day of school and I don't want to pass out detentions!" Figures. The one class I seriously space out in is the one taught by Mrs. Valentine. And yes, Mrs. Valentine is Myde and Sora's mother. Most of the students think she's crazy, and that she shouldn't be teaching psych.

"Sorry Mrs. Valentine!" Aerith smiled at her.

Mrs. Valentine smiled back, warning, "You two just be glad it's the first day." Her voice promised retribution if we ever did that again.

Yeah, let it be known that everyone in the Valentine family is insane.

Even their supposedly sane father, Officer Vincent. Or, as Yuffie likes to call him, Officer Vinnie.

Back to Psych with my mind.

…god, can this class get any more boring?…

Chem. II and Calc are so boring… course, it's just the first day… have to go over rules and shit…

Oh, look, it's Riku's brother, Yazoo… Riku's prettier… Yazoo just looks like a girl. Heh.

Too bad he's one of the Outcasts. Riku's one of the more popular of the freshmen, and has a lot of friends, his cousin Sora among them… what? I never mentioned the fact that the Valentines and the Crescent-Hikaris are related? It would explain their insanity. Their moms are sisters, that's all I know.

"Cloud Strife! Pay attention in class!" I wince, considering that the one class that actually requires paying attention is Mr. Highwind's Metals II class… he tends to throw pieces of metal at your head. Not to mention his smoking habits. And the fact that he lets us call him by his name, Cid. I wonder why he's able to get away with that. It's probably because the students like him so much and there would be a school-wide riot if he were fired.

"Yes, sir?" I ask hesitantly. Cid was notoriously strict and didn't like it when his students fell asleep. Especially on the first day.

"Dude, Spike, no worries, Cid's cool." Zack, this year's student teacher. He's crazy. And that's just the first day.

… I'm just wondering how Leon's dealing with things. Knowing him, he's probably got Yuffie in most of his classes, and she's driving him insane.

I just realized that none of you have any idea to what I'm talking about.

Okay, here's the short version. Me, Leon and several others are Seniors at Twilight Town High. The Jocks, AKA my group of friends (lacrosse/football/hockey & cheerleaders), typically have a war with the Outcasts, AKA Myde and his group of freaks (music/art/science), in their last year of school. The school is a war zone, no one other than the Senior class being able to participate. Usually it's the Jocks and Cheerleaders who pretty much rule the Class Reps and the Student Council (Like the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, that kind of thing.) Only this year, there are more Outcasts filling those roles than usual.

Rundown on who's who:

"Jocks" (which include cheerleaders): Leon, Myself, Yuffie, Aerith, Tifa, Zell, some others, but they're the main ones. We're classified under: Football, Lacrosse, and Street/Ice Hockey.

"Outcasts" (a couple of which are related): Myde, Yazoo, Reno (freak), Rude, Seifer, there's a few others, but again, those are the main ones. They are part of the Music, Art, science geeks, and people of their ilk.

Of course, not as many people know that when they were young, Leon, Seifer and Myde were the best of friends until some fight and they started hating each other. Hell, I don't think Yazoo knows exactly what happened, and he was the closest to the three at the time.

…Why do I even bother…?

End of Cloud's chapter.

Heh. I'm going to have fun with this, I can tell. There's going to be several songs integrated into this, fun.

Next Chapter: Cheerleader fight! Well, it'll be the Cheerleaders vs. the Marching band and Color Guard, who's better. (My personal opinion: Color Guard/Marching Band) Cheerleaders being Bitches and the Marching Band/CG taking offense!

Tifa & Yuffie (Head Cheerleaders) vs. Elena and Yazoo (Head Color Guard and Marching Band leader)

I'm not going to do any of them for the POV, but instead, one of the Color Guard or Cheerleaders. (AKA Aerith or Reno, the sole male CG)
