Today is just a normal day. The sun shines brightly in this warm spring day, the sky is light blue, flowers in the school park bloom, it's just a perfect spring morning for everybody including Lightning, who is enjoying her spare time before her class start sitting on the fresh green grass under the maple tree beside her school, Eden High.

Eden High is a famous school. Why? Okay, let's see, it has a beautiful big building with old European style, a big yard in front of the school with a fountain in the middle of it, a beautiful clear-watered small river –with a bridge over it- beside the school building with maple trees in the edge of the river. Speaking about the reputation, this school has numerous of great achievements, both academic and sports, the students are clever, multitalented and what so ever.

Eden High also has a different learning system with the other school. In this school, it has an advance class in every grade for the top student. The lessons go a little faster than the other classes, and also has enrichment knowledge. Since Lightning is one of the top students, she's in the advance class. She entered Eden High last September –the beginning of school term-, as a first grade student.

"Well, well, aren't you enjoying your time, sunshine?" a female voice snapped Lightning off from her daydreaming.

"What is it Fang?" Lightning replied.

"No, it's nothing. Can I join you here?" the black-haired girl called Fang asked Lightning.

"Just sit down then"

"So, what are you doing here Ms. Top Student? Just spend your time daydreaming?"

"Stop calling me that way. I hate it, and I've told you" Lightning scold

"Oh come on Light, I'm just kidding. Don't take it serious you know" Fang chuckled

"But seriously Light, what are you doing here? You always sit here every day, in your break time and before the class starts. Seriously, is there anything interesting?" Fang asked.

Lightning stays silent for awhile, before answering "It's just tranquil here. I feel comfortable. The scenery is good anyway. What's wrong? Is that a crime to sit here?"

"Nope, but still-"

"Hey! What a lovely morning isn't it?" a high-pitched voice interrupted Fang.

"Geez, Van. No need to scream. It's just a spring morning." Lightning answered in an irritated tone.

"Oh, come on Light! I've missed you! We haven't met for a long time!" a orange haired girl called Vanille pouted.

"It's just 2 days during weekend Vanille. Come on, just sit here." Lightning said. Vanille chuckled and give a friendly smile before sit beside Fang.

Vanille and Fang started a conversation. It's just a girl talk. Vanille talks about the new boutique near her house, and surprisingly Fang interested. Lightning doesn't pay any attention to their conversation though. Her eyes focused on something across the river. Okay, not something, but someone.

Yes, she's looking at him. Again. Just like what she did every time. A dark-haired boy, with amazing face features, perfect bone structure, well-built, strong, genius, cool, rich, gentle, he's just the perfect guy, Noctis. Lightning always sit there, because Noctis and his gang always sit across the river. Noctis is one of the popular seniors in Eden High, many girls dream to be her girlfriend, but surprisingly, Noctis doesn't have any girlfriend –which made Lightning relieved- because Lightning likes him, really likes him since she's still in the junior high school.

Suddenly, Noctis stand up. And so do the rest of his gang. They're walking with such a cool manner -which obviously will drive the girls nuts- to the bridge and cross it. Lightning just keep watching from the corner of her eyes, so that nobody know that she's watching him. But, just in a second, Noctis turn his head, and their eyes met. God, that was the most perfect eyes I've ever see Lightning thought. Lightning blushes and quickly turn her head, avoiding his eyes. What the heck am I doing? He'll notice that I'm looking at him! Stupid! Okay, calm down.. Where's the stoic girl that I used to be? Lightning tried to calm down herself.

"Hey look! They're crossing the river! They're going to go inside!" scream a girl.

"Oh my God, that's Cloud, he's so handsome!" squeak another girl.

"No! Noctis is more handsome!" said the first girl.

"Vincent! Vincent! Please let me go with you!" another girl screamed and run to Vincent, one of Noctis' friend. But before she could reach them, a hand grips her and pulled her down until she fell.

"Not now! Step over my body if you want to get him!" another girl scream.

Lightning let out a sigh. "Idiots" she murmured.

Fang and Vanille chuckled. "Yeah, sure they are just some idiot fanatic fans. But they're right. We should head back to the school. The class is going to start in 5 minutes. Let's go!" Lightning grab her bag before stand up. Then she headed to the main building of her school.

"So, what's your first class girls? Mine is mathematic." Vanille said.

"I'll have PE, I guess. What about you, sunshine?" Fang said.

"I'm heading to biology class." Lightning answered. Lightning felt a tap at her right shoulder, causing her to turn back and see Tifa and Rinoa smile lovingly to her.

"So you're heading to biology class eh? Coming with us?" Rinoa asked.

"Sure. I'm heading to the biology lab. Bye Fang, Vanille." Lightning gives them a light wave before leaving with Tifa and Rinoa.

"Do you know? I heard from Ms. Aerith, since we're from the advance class, today's lesson will be combined with the second grade students! She said that the second grade students need some reviews or something like that for their next text." Tifa said.

"Well, well, than that's a good luck for you, right Tif?" Rinoa smirked.

"What? What are you talking about? I don't have any idea about what you're talking!" said Tifa. She's trying to makes it sound normal, but it's obvious that she is blushing.

"Oh, like we don't know Tif. You're always looking at Cloud." Lightning said bluntly.

"What? Oh, then what about you Light? I'm sure you're looking at one of those popular guys!" Tifa exclaimed. Rinoa held her laugh knowing Tifa only tries to change the subject.

"It's not working Tif. Don't change the subject. We know that you have a huge crush with Cloud" teases Rinoa.

"Oh, and we also know that you have a huge crush with Leon, don't you?" Tifa said. Rinoa stays silent and blushes furiously, which the girls take as a 'yes'. Lightning chuckled, "Okay, stop it now." said Lightning.

"But Lightning, seriously, don't you keep an eye to someone in this school? I mean someone among them." Rinoa pointed at a group of guys, who are walking down from the stairs, heading to the biology lab.

"My, my, they're all are just perfect guys, aren't they? Cloud, Noctis, Leon, Vincent, Prompto, Ignis, Gladiolous." Said Tifa. Lightning just looking at Noctis, who is heading to the lab while talking to Cloud. Then, she saw Noctis gave a small smile to Cloud which is enough to makes her heart skips a beat. Man, that was a damn cool smile. And Noctis rarely does that. He just smiled to his friends. Noctis is kinda cold and taciturn, which makes more girls crazy for him. Lightning sighs and said "We should go faster, the class started in 3 minutes."

They walked to the biology lab, and right in front of the door, Lightning can see Noctis, passing a book to Prompto. Lightning sighs. She doesn't know what will happen today. Having a same class with Noctis, this is going to be an exciting class for her.
