--Chapter 1: Fresh Start

I take my first few steps off the bus and move out of the way of the other students trying to make their way excitedly, as if you should be excited for school.., off the bus behind me. I stare dully at the building before me, it's a rather large building and to be honest something i'm really not used to... Coming from a small town there was really no need for a large school...

The bell interrupts my thoughts and I begin to drag myself towards the school. The noise around me of my peers laughing and chatting around me makes me tug tightly at the straps of my bag and I feel myself sinking into myself in a sense...

I was never good in social situations and the idea of having to "make friends" isn't something I was very thrilled about... its not that I don't want friends but truth be told I just... well... I begin to cringe and quickly shake the thought from my mind.. theres no need to think about that... theres no need to ever think about that...

"... Room 158...," the obivious passes involuntarily through my lips I inhaled softly and made my way through the door... the introduction was the worst part... being held in front of the class as if he were a ball of yarn dangled in front of a cat, the feeling of all eyes staring at you bored and uninterested is more than just annoying...or at least to me it was...

The teacher walks over to his new student smiling warmly in greeting, "Well, you must be the new student! I'm sure its quite nerve wrecking with the change of atmosphere but I'm sure you'll have no problem settling in." I nod my head and twitch my lips into a small smile. He than makes his way to the front of the class and before I have a chance to sit down the man motions for me to come to the front of the class. I sigh to myself as I slowly make my way up front

"Ok everyone settle down, settle down! We have a new student today!"

And it starts... Everyone annoyed that their conversations were cut short with their friends and companions sit down reluctantly to bring their attention to the front of the classroom. Most stare bored either at me or focus on some random object in the room and others just lay their heads down completely uninterested. I notice a few heads listening intently for me to speak... These are the most obnoxious ones... There the ones who want the gossip on the new kid and I hide a frown as I realize how whispers are tossed between a few of the students, the grand majority female... something I find even more annoying...

"So, introduce yourself to the class and tell them a little about yourself. Your name, where your from, and whatever else you might like to add," the teacher smiles again at his new student and makes his way off to the side to seat himself at his desk leaving the "new kid" to speak.

"Cloud. Cloud Strife. I grew up in Nibelheim..." I search for any additional information to spill as I look around the room at all the students, but to be honest I really don't care to share anything else with anyone... My breathe catches itself in my lungs for a moment as my eyes caught view of one of the students in the room... How come I didn't notice him before... The boy that caught my eye had spiked raven black hair and stunning blue eyes and he was staring at me ... baka you're infront of the class to introduce yourself... of course he's staring I hear a cough and a few whispers and realize I had just lost myself in thought. Pulling myself back into reality I push back the spiked blonde bangs in front of my eyes only to have them fall back into place... A useless gesture really... "...It's a small town... " and with that I sit down at the nearest empty seat... in front of the black haired boy that my eyes drifted to earlier... I couldn't decide whether I was lucky or unlucky... Most the students, those who actually paid attention to my "greeting" whispered to their friends next to them and gave me odd looks... Which is expected since I didn't make the most impressive introduction for myself..

"...Alright Class, Lets get started with studies... Take out your Books and flip to page 124."

I drowned out the teachers lectures quite easily, it wasn't that I didn't want to learn it was just... the material was so simple.. The equations seemed elementary to me but... I always excelled in my studies so if I had any challenges I knew it wouldn't be involved in my studies... Again I am interrupted from my thoughts as I feel a dull point tap softly on my back. Frowning I look behind me out of the corner of my eyes and I feel my breathe catch in my lungs as my eyes lock onto the pair of deep blue eyes behind me. He's sporting a goofy ear to ear grin and he passes a folded note, apparently what he had jabbed me with, into my hand. I accept the note but i'm really not sure why... Curiosity??

I cautiously open the note, I suspect some kind of foul or cruel words to be written on the scrap piece of paper, surprisingly its not what I had assumed it to be...

Nibelhelm huh didn't think another country boy make it to the city I'm from Gongaga myself, names Zack!

...Zack..so he wants to talk...no... I shouldn't... I have a knot in my stomach, and my mind keeps telling me I'd only cause trouble if I talked to this boy... I can't help but to bite my lip.. I crumple the note in my hand and drop it in my pants pocket deciding its' best just to ignore the note and continue with class...

However when class lets out I soon realize my attempt to brush him off is fruitless... Only a few steps out the door and I hear an over eccentric voice yell over the crowd "Yo Cloud!" Zack nearly shouts weaving the crowd to get over to me. I pick up my pace but the boys just to quick and I feel his arm drape across my shoulders. Physically I don't faultier... but mentally I melt under his touch.

"Oi, Slow down there spike! Whats the rush.. Figured since youre new here you'd need a well... a mentor of sorts!"

I feel my brows push together in question, "Why would I need a mentor for high school...?"

He over dramatically brings his hand to his chin and tilts his head in thought for a moment before pointing upwards with his index as if he had an idea, "Good question... Well, Gossip for one, or the latest news, or I suppose if you need me to point out the way to a class or some beautiful ladies heart than I cou..."

I can't help but cut him short, "Thanks but I think I'll survive..."

" Aw... Come on Spike don't be like that!" He messes my hair and I'm beginning to wonder why he keeps making random physical contact with me " So, What class ya got next spike!"

"...Gym..." I frown, " Would you stop calling me that..." The nickname was beginning to wear on my nerves.

"Gotcha, No problem, Well todays your lucky day! I just so happen to have gym next period! Lets go Spike!" He all but drags me behind him through the hall and I note that even though he had apologized for his "nickname" he still used it.. I sigh to myself and I can't seem to fight him.. or rather I don't want to... theres something about him.. but I just can't put my finger on it..
