Extra note: This story is being revised to add detail; my friend Rueh had taken that job upon herself. So up till chapter 18 I have to give her credit. This is revision three.

"Here!"

"No…Elena?"

"Reno?"
"Present."
"Rude?"
"Present."
"Rueh?"
"Accounted for but not here."
"…how can that be?"
"…well…umm…I'm here in person but my brain's not?"
"Ohhhh…I see…"
"No you don't. Anyone have any chocolate?"
"No. This is class time…"
"So?"
"…Rufus Shinra?"
"Here."
"Sephiroth?"
"Here."
"Tifa Lockheart?"
"Here!"
"Yuffie Kisaragi?" the teacher asked the last name on his list.
"Yep! I'm here!"
"Very well. Welcome freshmen and welcome back to the rest of you," the raven-haired teacher greeted. "I am Mr. Valentine your band instructor."
"Hello Mr. Valentine," the entire class, except the few that had already fallen asleep, said in unison.
A voice came over the intercom:
"Hello students. I am Principal Tseng," the voice sounded rather dull after having repeated the same old speech the annually for last five or more years. "This school year should go by fast if all rules are followed…" the voice trailed off to tell which teacher ate which lunch shift.
Yuffie yawned. It was the first day of school and only 15 minutes into first hour. Already she was bored out of her mind so she decided to think of something constructive to do. She picked up one of her new notebooks, opened it and ripped out a clean page, then rolled it up into a tight ball. She surveyed the room and her eyes fell upon a certain unsuspecting victim. When the teacher wasn't looking, she drew her arm back, aimed, and then hurled the paper missal across the room.
The paper wad flew true and hit the unsuspecting silver haired percussionist in the back of his head.
He sat up and whirled around rather quickly to look at her with blazing aquamarine eyes.
Yuffie stuck her tongue out at him.
Sephiroth glared at the freshman girl across the room, she laughed and stuck her tongue out at him. He narrowed his bright eyes into slits, and twirled one of his drumsticks in his fingers in a threatening manor.
Vincent Valentine, the raven-haired teacher scanned the class while Tseng did his annual blabbering over the schools intercom. His eyes locked with a senior percussionist Sephiroth's.
Sephiroth rolled his eyes at the silent warning and put the stick down.
When Mr. Valentine went back to looking over the class and took his eyes off Sephiroth he threw the paper wad back at Yuffie. It flew at its unsuspecting target and hit her square on the forehead. She glared at him as it bounced away.
Shortly after Tseng finished, the bell to end first hour rang. The class crowded out the door into the hallway the already crowded hallway.
"Hey Zack," Sephiroth greeted as he sat down next to his friend in Art class.
"Hey Sephy," Zack grinned as the bell to begin class rang. The teacher began to take roll.
"So…how does it feel to be a senior?" Zack asked.
"You're a junior. You'll find out next year," Sephiroth stated modestly.
"You're no fun," Zack grumbled then started on his work.
After 40 minutes the bell rang and they went to their next class.
"Hi! I saw you in band this morning. I'm Tifa; we live in the same town don't we? Who are you?" the brown haired girl said in a friendly voice as she sat down next to the blonde spiky haired boy.
"I'm Cloud, and…I don't know" the boy answered stupidly.
"Cloud huh? You play percussion with a few others right?" she went on.
"Yeah, but if you ask me most of them are a bunch of idiots," he said.
"I play clarinet," she laughed. The teacher started taking roll.
"This is my friend Barret," Tifa introduced as the big senior sat down next to them.
"Hello," Barret said.
"Hi," Cloud said.
"Hi there! I'm Aeris!" a perky emerald-eyed girl introduced.
"Hello," the 3 said together.
"And I'm Yuffie!" the Wutain ninja smirked.
"Hi," the 4 said.
"I'm Cid." A rough looking blonde sat down at the filling table.
"Hey," the 5 said.
"I'm Reno," the classes only red head introduced rather bluntly, while staring at the girls at the table.
"Get lost," the 6 said.
"Awww…can't we be nice? I'm Rufus Shinra." A strawberry blonde…the president's son if they weren't mistaken; but who care whose son he was?
"Beat it," the 6 said.
"My, my. We don't have any manners do we? I'm Elena." Another blonde…the six at the table were beginning to wonder how many blondes' it'd take before they figured out they weren't wanted.
"Whatever. Go away you pesky person," Yuffie said.
"Who you calling pesky? I'm Reeve." Ah, look. Finally, not another blonde, this one has black hair.
"You, that's who," Yuffie smirked.
Two girls nearby started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Reno asked turning to the two lower classmen.
"You," the stranger looking of the two laughed. Her hair was long and even lighter in color than the senior Sephiroth's. It was more white than anything but all the ends, about eight or so inches looked like they had been dipped in paint.
"Me?" The red head pointed to himself.
"Weeellll…," the other hummed. She had pale baby blue eyes and light sorrel hair. "Not just you. You and all of you friends." She laughed along with her aqua-green eyed friend.
"And who are you to say that to us?" Rufus snapped.
"I'm Rueh and this is Dete," the first girl said.
"I'm Rueh," the white haired girl stated proudly, "and she's Dete."
" Rude remember these two…" Rufus commanded to the silent boy who stood behind his group. "Revenge is sweet…as the saying goes." The two freshmen girls just stuck their tongues out at him.
Cloud and the others laughed. Rufus and his group stared angrily at them.
"Let's go," Rufus ordered.
He turned and marched away with Reno, Rude, Reeve, and Elena in tow behind him. A few minutes later the bell rang.
"Lunch time!" Cloud exclaimed and rushed out the door.
As Cloud ran out the door Sephiroth and Zack walked in front of it. Cloud slammed into Sephiroth who in turn hit Zack. All 3 fell on the hallway floor in a tangled mess. Without saying a word, Cloud pulled away from the other two, grabbed his books and took off down the hall not missing a beat.
"Hey! Get back here!" Sephiroth yelled as he struggled to get back to his feet.
"What a coward," Rueh said as she entered the hall with Dete.
"Run Forest! Run!" Dete yelled at Cloud's retreating back then laughed.
"You 2 are weird," Zack said when he finally got to his feet and stood next to Sephiroth.
"Thank you," they said.
"Whatever." Sephiroth shook his head.
"Hey…you're in band aren't you?" Rueh asked out of the blue.
"Yeah…" he said slowly wondering why she had even asked.
Rueh and Dete turned around and walked away with a small blush on their faces.
"Let's go! I'm hungry!" Zack interrupted Sephiroth's thoughts.
Sephiroth nodded in agreement and they walked to the cafeteria. When they got there they found Cloud stuffing his face with the schools food. Zack shook his head. 'How could anyone eat school food like that and like it? Maybe he eats so fast he can't taste it…'
Sephiroth lead the way and wound around tables, chairs and other students until they stood next to the table where the lower classmen was stuffing his mouth full of what to be mashed potatoes.
"Hello there," Sephiroth said coldly.
Cloud slowly looked up from his overly filled tray.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Why yes! You can!" Sephiroth smiled in sarcasm. "You see you ran into us in the hallway and knocked us down. Then you took off running without saying anything."
"So? Sorry," Cloud said.
"Is that all you can say?" Sephiroth asked as he placed his hands on the table and leaned forward.
"What should I say?" Cloud gulped.
"Not say…do," Sephiroth stated lowly as an evil smile spread across his face. Before Cloud could say anything else Rufus and his group walked up. Reno pushed Cloud off the chair, causing him to hit the floor with a soft thud; Cloud just laid there sprawled out and dazed. Rufus sat down in his place, not even noticing the other two in his presence. Reeve sat down on one side of Rufus and Elena on the other side.
"Move it," Reno said and elbowed Sephiroth out of his way.
"Uh-oh," Rueh and Dete smirked as they passed by the table. Reno turned and watched after them; they didn't even bother to look back. Sephiroth reached for the red head and grabbed him by the arm and the collar of his baggy shirt.
"Anyone have a rope?" Sephiroth asked looking up at a ceiling fan.
"No," Yuffie said slowly then looked thoughtful, "but I do have a big role of duct tape," she offered.
"That'll work." Sephiroth pushed Reno down on top of the table so his face was in crammed down in Cloud's abandoned lunch. After a small struggle Reno was taped down to the tabletop with minor injury.
"Do it! Do it!" Rueh and Dete cheered as Sephiroth spun the table.
"Hey! I have an idea!" Rueh said after a few minutes. Sephiroth stopped the table abruptly giving Reno a good jar.
Sephiroth stepped aside to where Zack had been watching to allow the two girls free access to the table. Rueh and Dete ran forward and gave the table a hard shove. It rolled and they continued to push it right to the cafeteria doors. Sephiroth and Zack cheered as the girls disappeared out the doors in full throttle.
"Stop!" Rueh yelled over to Dete as they dashed towards the front lobby. Both gave one last shove and came to a sliding stop. They watched after the table as it sped through the lobby.
Reno yelled as the table continued rolling…out the doors and into a construction yard where the front drive was being repaved.
"I'm not getting it," Rueh stated with a slight whine to her voice as Reno crashed.
"Don't look at me." Dete shook her head. "He needs to learn how to drive."
Dete turned and headed back to the cafeteria with Rueh close at hand. The bell rang and Reno wasn't seen the rest of the day.
