Starling94: Me an' Vampie got our own gig goin' down ya? Okay (clears throat)... One day on Msn, two teenagers were bored and literally slamming out heads on the desk, so we decided... "Let's write a fic!" Okay... Yes... I know... Here it is.

Summary: High School life was never too unusual for Yuffie. She had a best friend, Sora, a rival, Kairi, and a huge crush, Riku. She lived life normally without too much drama. That is, until Cloud Strife showed up. CloudxYuffiexRiku

I'm writing the first chapter, and Vampie is writing the next. I think we're switching off every other chapter.

Disclaimer: Starling94: Well... I own nothing of course. Square/Disney owns all this. Well... We'll own any OC's but aside from that... Oh the plot too.

Chapter One

High school doesn't live up to its reputation. Trust me. Plainly put...

It sucks. Really sucks.

My brown eyes tiredly follow the floor tile along the tile counting the little pebble designs. Don't you find yourself counting those pebbles in the middle of a boring lecture in study hall?..Hah... Dontcha find it amazing how everyone is the same? I do. Everyday.

My name's Yuffie Kisargi. Get to know it. You'll be hearing it a lot. My eyes flicker up down the row that I am sitting in as the door creeks in. My head is resting flatly on my desk. I'm bored... can't ya tell? I almost feel the floor rumble, a shudder echoed my body. The chatting in the room abruptly stopped.

She's here...

The 'creature' currently identified as my study hall teacher. I see kids reach into their back packs heaving out things. A malicious grin settled on my face for a moment when I realized what they were doing. It was a regular routine, I suppose. Miss Creature, whoshoulddiebecauseshehatesallofus--I'm innocent! I swear! Anyway, the regular kids sit in their desks shooting things at her and begin drooling because they are asleep. Watch, I'm in that process.

THWAK!

"EEP!" I squealed aloud, my face now burning hot. So much for sleeping. Stupid old creature known as my teacher... She had whacked my desk with her walking stick. She scribbled something on a small notepad. My eyes rounded then. "No," the word slipped from my mouth. ANYTHING BUT THAT!

"Detention, young lady," she hissed my way. Don't you wanna kill her? But WHY? Why me? No... No... My mahogany eyes watch in despair as I realize a smirk is tugging at her lips. She knows it's annoying me.

"Why?" I whined towards her. Whining irritates people. I would know. Although, it served her right. I didn't do anything! … Unless she read my mind. Oh dear! Anything but that. Great. I have a creature, which teaches me and can read minds. Yah... As you can tell. This is my lucky day. Actually, it's a normal routine. I get detention, she smirks smugly, I plan my revenge (which I have yet to do), and I stay after school causing mischief. I'm not one of those bad kids. She just makes it that way.

It took her a second to answer. Damn! I thought I was actually going to get off. "You were sleeping." My pencil drops to the floor. WHAT? That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard! My eyes weren't even closed! My heads turned to my left, my gaze staring upon a kid, who was TRULY sleeping. Is she blind? Well, apparently. The teacher just stuck her nose up in the air and waddled towards the front of the classroom. Everyone is looking at me for the moment I noticed, but just settled to put my head back on my desk. Who cared? She already gave me detention.

"So much for the arcade," a voice whispered behind me. A slight smile tugged at the corner of my somewhat dry lips. I glanced behind me and the boy, who happened to be grinning at me.

"I never get to go, Sora. Never," I emphasized the last part. "Not with this coot as my teacher." I could almost hear myself grumbling aloud. Oh! Did I tell you? Sora is gay, and he is my best buddy. But now back on to subject.

Ahem… I don't understand why the office never came down and checked me out. Seriously, I have been in detention almost every day this year! And the old witch was a hippo. I'm surprised they haven't changed to flooring to this school. The tile kept breaking beneath her feet. I snickered aloud.

"Miss Kisargi. Office. Now." I didn't even argue. Although, I did mumble a couple things and everyone laughed. With one glance back at Sora, I walked casually out of the classroom like it was not a big deal. People's snickers echoed as I closed the door. I had grabbed my black backpack when I left. Oh and my "lucky" pencil. Yeah, the one that fell on the floor. My feet by now are dragging on the floor. I don't hurry to the office. Why should I? Pssh… I probably won't even go, but then again. I bit my lip in thought.

"The old hag must've called me in because she didn't give me a note," I said to myself then cursed. Curse you creature! Curse you! Now I had to go… I scratched my head as I stopped in the middle of the hallway. Where… is the office again? Heh… I know… Pathetic eh? I'm not one for good memory! Back off.

I turned my head to my left and practically gasped aloud, but covered my mouth with my hands. Like a giggling school girl (except without the giggling) I ran into an open locker and watched from the peep holes. Weird I know, but let me fill you in!

What I had seen… you must not tell anyone! In the classroom across the hall from the locker I was currently in, I saw him… HIM! I'm like a little girl who can't control herself when it comes to him. I can already feel the drool slipping down my face.

Riku… The silver-haired hottie, who knew nothing of me! I mean… I saw him and he almost looked at me! The moment was magical. I felt a deep sigh escape me as I watched, then my blood boil. My eyes clenched slightly shut as I gritted my teeth. A bunch of red came into my mahogany sight as I glared deeply. My rival; Kairi. She made me oh SO mad! She tried to get Riku! How DARE she! I slumped in the locker, it echoed.

"Oh shit," I cursed under my breath. Now, the classroom across the hall was looking at the locker I was hiding in. I held my breath deeply. Ohmanohmanohman! Don't. Look.

It was a moment later, high heels echoed the classroom. The door shut. Pheew. The teacher had shut the door and good thing too. I stumbled out of the locker and onto the floor. Maybe I was leaning against the door more than I thought I was. Standing up quickly, I brushed myself off and ran. Ran for dear life. Well, until I reached the end of the hallway that is. Soon, I was back to my casual self. But it struck me again. I wanted to whine aloud. Where the hell was the office? I felt like the new student, but I have been going here for like three years. Yup, I'm a junior in high school, and I have a brand new spakin' car! … As you can tell I was being sarcastic, but I truly am a junior. Proud of it.

I'm not popular like Riku or Kairi, but I'm not a loser like the kid, who was sleeping next to me in class. I'm the… inner average trouble making girl. Everyone knows me…'cept the popular crew that is. Well, a lot of them know me, but they don't pay attention to me. I know Riku dreams about me. A grin settled on my face. I wish that was how it was.

"AHA!" I shout pointing to the building known as the office, "I found you!" Then I noticed that everyone was looking at me. I glanced around nervously, before I took off towards the building. I was fiddling with my lucky pencil when I happened to look up. That's when it happened. In the building, down the hall from the principal's office. I was walking slowly. Okay… Imagine this slowly with some awesome music playing… What music you ask? Uhh… Just think of something! Chariots of Fire. No... Grr... Just read on.

I was walking leisurely down the blue carpeted building, my "lucky" pencil in my hand. My chocolate eyes then settled upon something… no, someone. Our eyes met that second, those deep cerulean eyes gazing into mine as a small beam settled upon his face. I could feel one settling on mine. Why was I smiling? I don't know him. No… no relation whatsoever, but I can't help but start to smile. He pulled his hand up to wave at me, and I do the same thing. That is, until this happened.

WHACK! The door unbolted and smacked me in the face knocking me to the floor in an instant. Everyone in the office looked over their desks, people peered at me from behind other doors, and worst of all, the blonde blue-eyed hottie was standing right there to see the whole thing. My face is BURNING like hell. I don't know if it's more of pain or embarrassment. So cool Yuffie. So cool.

"Are you okay?" My eyes light up instantly as I heard his voice. That voice! I could just melt, but then melting made me think of Riku. ARGH! Why do I deem of him every moment?

"Yah," I simply replied. I kept my gaze to the ground though, out of embarrassment. A laughing sound echoed my ears. He was laughing… Oh that warm laugh. Just like Rik--SHUTUP mind! He seemed to notice my struggle within because I wasn't saying anything afterwards.

"Umm… I'm Cloud," he suddenly said. That was it. My mind melted. Cloud, what a perfect name for the perfect blonde boy. I would have to inform Sora today after school. Almost as perfect as Riku… Okay. I'm ready to pull a knife out and murder myself. Do I have any volunteers?

"Yuffie," I replied quickly, my cheeks burning with a blush. I peered down at my shorts. I also noticed that it was cold in here. It was cold outside too. I should start wearing pants, but that's off topic. A hand comes into my vision as I gaze upon it. He's offered me help. Take. It. Now.

I grabbed his hand as he pulled me up, although, I'm a little reluctant to let go. He's strong too. I finally took enough guts and looked up at Cloud with a glancing smile. He was b-e-a-utiful. A clear complexion, wild long spiked hair, ocean blue eyes, pearly whites. Uh oh… I'm drooling. Damn it. I wipe my mouth quickly and turn my head away.

"Thank you," I told him. He nodded and inquired, "You going to be alright? Where you heading?"

"Umm… I'll be okay. I'm heading… err, to the principal's office. Heh." Why did I feel bad for admitting that? Oh yeah. I got sent FOR NO REASON.

"Oh." Uh oh. Bad, bad, bad impression. What came over me, I don't know.

I winked.

"Yeah." Was I trying to be… flirty? AHH stop now! It burns! He quirked an eyebrow as I turned to walk away. I turned over my shoulder for one last glance, before a screechy voice interrupted me and my thoughts.

"Cloud Strife," she screeched. I winced; Cloud turned his head towards the front desk. He grinned and turned to me saying softly, "I'll see you later, okay?" I nodded numbly as he walked towards the door everyone dreaded. It had bold letters implanted on them.

Principal's Office

I cringed. It had been so long. Wonder why he is going there… But I will always remember that name. Strife.

….. ….. ….. ……

FREEDOM! I am free!

"FREE!" I practically shouted when the bell rang. School was out, and I never saw Cloud again that day. I jumped down the steps of my school with a grin. My almost raven hair was bouncing in the short ponytail it had been clipped into. I was hyper. I needed more sugar. And video games. And video games happened to be where I would find Sora. And Sora was the person I needed to tell about Strife.

I stopped dead halt. It echoed my mind once again.

Detention

…….

"Oh well," I told myself with a nonchalant shrug. "No one will care. I'm always there. It's not like they're going to miss me."

"YUFFIE KISARGI!" My name blared on the loud speakers. I cringed. Run! "GET TO DETENTION!" It was my 'creature' teacher. Haaah. That rhymes. But anyway, I ran as fast as I could through the crowd of people and jumped through the open bus doors. I began to wonder now. It had been a while since I have been on this bus. I wonder who remembered me.

It seemed everyone did because they suddenly began to open seats up. That was because they did not want to sit by me, of course. I usually end up getting in trouble, and so did the people who sit next to me. I settled to a seat close to the back, but not exactly the back. Riku sat back there. Grr... I was drooling again. So did Kairi. Her name caused fire to burn in my eyes, but I made no note of it. Her laugh erupted from the very back seat, Riku joining her. My body tensed as I sat down. They saw me move toward my seat and plop down. In my back pack was my mp3 player, so I pulled that out and put it on. There was no use drooling over Riku with Kairi next to him. I swear! It was like they were going out, but he had no interest in her. She, on the other hand, was all over him when she could get the chance, which wasn't very often. Strong hints, battering eyelashes, flip of the hair. She did it all!

What makes it harder for me is that she is pretty. Pretty girls get the handsome guys. Then you look at me. I don't have anything. I sighed quietly. One of these days, I would punch her face out if she ever even touched me. I swear by it. My hand reached the seat when I noticed the bus coming to a stop. Oh hey! It's my stop. I grabbed all my things and bustled to get off the bus, Riku already ahead of me big time. I pray and thanked the lord in heaven I was behind him. He was gorgeous behind… My face lit up in embarrassment. NOT the place to be thinking behind especially when I had a great view… eerr…

"Any day now," I called to everyone getting off the bus. Funny, I didn't know the bus had left the school. Riku glanced at me over his shoulder expressionless. Still, I buckled my knees. He had that much power over me. If only he knew. Wait… He shouldn't know. A sigh escaped me once more, as my music echoed the loud bus. My headphones we're still on.

I got off the bus and walked in the opposite direction of Riku. I couldn't torture myself just yet, so I'll take the long way home. Home sweet home.
