Only three words matter to us beautiful girls. The B-word, the F-word, And the S-Word…

B is For Backstabber

It was Namine Kobayashi's 16 year, and 2nd year of high school. Namine had it all, golden blond shoulder length hair; beautiful ice blue eyes that where so cold she could freeze a man who even looked at her, and the popularity to match. She owned these hallways, and today was no different. She strut down the hallway, just as any other day, boys staring in her direction, knowing they will never get a beautiful princess like that. She wore silver stilettos, with a diamond incrusted foot that seemed like a metallic vine climbing her legs. The only sound as she passed was those of her stilettos. Her short white dress with the diamond incrusted top, fluttered in the school's air-conditioned hallway. Normally all students of Destiny High were required to wear uniforms, but Namine and her friends were different. Their parents funded the school, making Namine and her friends free to do whatever they wanted. Namine could start a fight and not get in the least bit of trouble. Her friends waited for her at the end of the hallway, all as equally beautiful and stunning as her. Her closet friend was Kairi Inoue, and she was the most stunning out of the rest of her friends. She was the only on Namine had to compete with to stay on top. Today she wore her deep strawberry pink hair in a perfectly combed bun, but they all knew by the end of the day, she would take her bun out and let her strawberry locks loose on the world. Kairi also had sapphire eyes, but much different from Namine's. Her eyes were a deeper shade of blue, but just as stunning. She wore a very short ruffled pink dress; a metallic clasp in the center seemed to be the only thing holding it on her. She carried a large metallic bag, only to keep her makeup in. A girl this pretty didn't need to study. Yuffie Kisaragi was the name of Namine's third friend. She wasn't as beautiful, but still one of the prettiest girls in the school. Yuffie's hair was a short smooth onyx colour, and her eyes where an odd, but beautiful shade of violet that stunned any guy who looked in her direction. What Yuffie didn't have in looks, she made up for with chest size. Today she wore an almost see-through blue tank top, with a black shrug covering her bra. She wore tan short shorts and black gladiator heals that reached their way to her knees. The last girl, Tifa Lockhart wasn't the prettiest of the group, but she defiantly was the sexiest. Her chocolate coloured hair reached down to her hips. She had deep chocolate eyes to match her hair, which guys seemed to melt into. She wore a white tank top, similar to a bra, and black short shorts. Plain, but very sexy.

"Hey girls!" Namine smiles as she struts up to her friends. They all smile at her, but in a way different than warming. Their smiles hinted of jealousy, pain, and hope. They all hoped one day they would be cuter than her.

"Nams! Wait up!" A young boy's voice called. The boy's name was Roxas, Namine's boyfriend. Around here Roxas wasn't important enough to have a last name, but for some reason Namine had latched onto him. His strawberry blond hair, spiked in many different directions, was the envy of every guy in school. Even though Namine constantly begged him to flatten it. Roxas still wore the uniform, even though he didn't have to. Because of Roxas' status as Namine's boyfriend, he also was above school law, but he chose not to be.

"Well, see you later girlies! I'm off to hang with my Bo!" Namine teases, making her group feel about the same colour Tifa's eyes where. Namine takes the arm of Roxas and waltzes away her stilettos still the only noise in the hallways.

"Should we get to class?" Yuffie asked her friends. Yuffie may have been popular, but she still cared about her education deeply.

"Nah we have gym first period, and nobody wants to get sweaty on the first day!" Tifa answered a leadership tone in her voice.

"Tifa stfu! Yuffie can do whatever she wants!" Kairi snaps. When Namine was gone, Kairi took over command, and she was a tough leader.

"Let's go Yuffie, and scout out some new hot Bo's!" Kairi commands. Of course the idea of hot boys made Tifa want to follow, but to keep her pride she had to stay back, and wonder the halls alone. She watched as Yuffie and Kairi strutted off to class, leaving her alone in the halls. Tifa turned to be knocked to the ground.

"Owww!" She whined as she lifted herself off the ground.

"I'm so sorry!" A boy apologized picking her up off the ground. She had never seen him before. He wore a guy's dark blue tank top, with some band she had never heard of written across the chest, and blue skinny jeans. A red scarf around his neck topped the whole outfit off.

"I-I've never seen you before" Tifa smiled warmly, still recovering from the fall.

"My name is Cloud Strife" The boy smiled. "I'm new here." Tifa laughed warmly. From the moment Cloud lifted her from the ground, she knew he was the one… for this year.

"So Cloud, you know we have a uniform here?" Tifa asked.

"Yeah, they didn't send me one yet though" Cloud defended. He seemed worried.

"Don't worry, stick with me, and you won't need a uniform" Tifa smiled. Cloud looked her over, and Tifa blushed as she noticed he was staring at her thin, small, white tank top.

"Is that the uniform?" Cloud asked surprised.

"Nah Darlin" Tifa answered. "My family donates a lot to this school, so I can wear what I want." Cloud nodded. Tifa secretly wondered if this turned him off, but her popularity wouldn't let her mind wander on that for too long.

"Can you um… tell me where the gym is?" Cloud asked.

"Gym first period? Just like me!" Tifa squealed. "Come let's walk together!" Tifa extended a hand to Cloud, and before hesitating, he grasped it, hoping she would lead him to the right place.

The dressing room of the gymnasium was beautiful. The lockers were brand new, and each shower had its own translucent shower door. Marble covered the floor and tile covered the walls. The four girls dressed in their gym attire and quickly re-grouped walking to the gym floor. Their gym uniforms consisted of a v-neck shirt, and blue hot pants, the colour of their school of course. The girls added knee length socks and white tennis shoes to make their outfits perfect. The gym was brand new with beautiful hard wood flooring and clear white painted walls. After seemingly spotting Tifa, Cloud immediately walked over, but it wasn't Tifa who he had spotted.

"Yuffie?" Cloud asked when he got over to their bunch, cocking his head to get a better view. "Yuffie Kisaragi?" Yuffie's eyes immediately turned from 'uninterested' to 'holy crap!' in a matter of moments. She ran and hugged him, then turned to Tifa who's eyes were filled with confusion, jealousy, and hate.

"Guys, I used to hang out with this boy when I was young!" Yuffie smiled giddily, playfully pounding a fist to Cloud's chest.

"Yep! I can't believe I found you!" Cloud laughed. Tifa could do nothing but stair evilly at her best friend, AKA Yuffie the potential boyfriends stealer. Five minutes later, Couch Kimi blew the whistle and they all were forced to run laps for forty-five minutes for being late to gym. Of course Kimi was new to the school, and in a matter of days when she was informed of who they where, she would get the picture and be apologizing to them for her job's sake. Forty-five, they were back in the dressing room, with the commands to shower if they wanted. Kairi sat on a bench in the locker room, staring down Aerith Gainsborough who was making her way to a shower. Aerith was one of the most hated girls in the school. Her hair was light brown and always frizzy, so she kept it in a tight braid that read 'I'm a virgin'. (Virgins were highly frowned upon at DH). She did have beautiful sage green eyes, that appeared almost gem colour when they hit the light, but who cares about that if you're a virgin. She had pasty pale skin that nobody wanted, which was fitting for her.

"I have an idea!" Kairi announced. Each girl leaned in to hear her thoughts. "Yuffie, you take Aerith's clothing in front of Aerith's face, and have her chase you out in front of everybody!" A classic high school prank.

"Why me?" Yuffie asked uncertain.

"Because you're the fastest!" Kairi explained. Kairi knew Yuffie would hate this job. Back when Yuffie was little, she and Aerith were the best of friends. In fact, they never officially stopped being friends, but their popularity in the school set them apart.

"B-but" Yuffie stuttered.

"You WILL do it! If you want to stay in our click." Kairi demanded. Within minutes Yuffie picked up Aerith's cloths and waited for her to come out of the shower. Aerith finally stopped her shower, and exited. Yuffie had "forgotten" to take her towel as commanded, but she felt this was punishment enough.

"Yuffie?" Aerith asked. Her voice was filled with sadness, and it took all of Yuffie's will power to start running. Aerith didn't like to take BS from anybody, so naturally she chased Aerith out into the gymnasium, clutching her towel for life. Yuffie raced out onto the hardwood dumping her clothing in the center of the floor, and racing to her friends. Aerith grabbed her clothes and turned around to face 50 students staring back at her, laughing insanely. Aerith marched over to Yuffie and shouted, "We are no-longer friends" and walked shamefully back to the dressing room. Kairi and her friends burst out into laughter, but Yuffie held hers back in shame of what she had done. Five minutes later, after Aerith was already out of the dressing room and changed, Couch Kimi burst out of her office and demanded Yuffie, her friends, and Aerith stay after. They had been given the punishment of cleaning the gym every evening.

"Don't you know who I am?" Namine demanded.

"Oh yes I do, and I won't take shit from you or any of you stuck up friends. You will be punished like everyone else!" Kimi yelled, followed by disgusted sighs from each girl.

"Why me?" Aerith asked in a polite tone. "I was the victim of this crime."

"You should have come to me instead of running out after her!" Kimi scolded, and then changed her voice into something sweeter. "The school has a strict policy against any type of nudity, weather you are nude or wearing a towel… OR, wearing see-through tank tops, mini tank tops, and short dresses!" She raised her voice after she said 'or'. "Yuffie, Kairi, Namine, Tifa! Go change into your gym uniforms!"

"But!" The girls protested at the same time.

"I don't care how rich you are, you are still a student like everyone else! I expect to see you ALL in your uniforms tomorrow, or I will add on to your punishment AND hers!" Kimi shouted pointing to Aerith. Aerith knew she couldn't defend herself, but she silently wished tomorrow each girl would oblige. After that sudden attack from Kimi, the girls made their way to their second class of the day, chemistry. Before they left they noticed Cloud stop Aerith on the way out.

"I think that was really brave of you" Cloud congratulated.

"Thanks" Not a bit of acknowledgment from Aerith, but still, this Cloud guy… Playa Playa!
