A/N: Yeah, this chapter is short, a lot shorter than I would like, but I cannot make it a 7,000 word chapter like the stories I read, cause that would be my entire story. . . Anyway, if anybody DOES read this, review please?
It was almost time, two twenty five. Cloud got out of his last class of the day. To add to that, it's Friday. Professor Vexen, in Cloud's opinion, was the worst teacher there was. "Remember class, that report is due on Monday, NO exceptions!" As a moan of anger came from the class, the bell rang.
Cloud picked up his things as quick as he could. Just as he was to step out of the door, Professor Vexen asked, "Cloud, could you come here, please?"
" Of course. Professor Vexen." Cloud said with the up most amount of despair in his voice.
"Now, as you can probably guess, you grades aren't so good. This report can get you up to a B in this class, this is, if you do good."
"Yea, sure. Is that all?" Cloud asked. Professor nodded his head, and before he was done, Cloud was out the door
"Got yelled at again, Cloud?" Cloud knew that voice. It was his best friend, Leon.
"Nah! It was the same old, Professor Vexen telling me how I can bring my grade up." As they got their stuff out of their lockers and walked to Cloud's car, they were talking about what girls were the hottest.
"It has to be Xion!" Leon argued. Now, Cloud didn't really care about how hot the girls were, he cared about how nice they were. The drive back to their house was fast, only being about five to six minutes away from school.
"Can we go get some food?" Leon asked.
"Fine. We'll go to the Korner Diner." The Korner Diner was where Leon and Cloud first met. They were only three and they didn't meet again for another year, but they both loved that place. A big HELP WANTED sign was hanging out in front. Cloud already had a job, at a musical and play studio. But Leon had no job.
"Hey, Cloud. You think I should apply there?" Leon asked. He seemed to be excited, becuase he had forgotten he was hungry, and he went up, asked for an application, and went to a table and started to fill it out. Cloud came and sat down on the other side of him and ordered for both them.
Once the waitress left, the best soccer player in the school, Xemnas, and his girlfriend Larxene, walked in and sat to the table opposite of them. Larxene was one of Cloud's great friends. She waved to him, and he waved back. Xemnas glared at him slightly, he was certain that Cloud was trying to steal Larxene from him.
"Finished." Leon said. Cloud was happy for him, and he took the paper and ran to turn it in for Leon, but he ran into the waitress, knocking the food and drinks on Xemnas.
"How dare you!" Xemnas shouted. Cloud was on the ground already curled into a ball to defend himself from Xemnas' upcoming attack.
"Xemnas, no!" Larxene shouted, but it was too late. He had already swung his leg at Cloud. The scream of pain was too much for Leon to bare.
Just when Leon was about to attack Xemnas from behind, the manager came out. "Hey! Get outta my Diner! All of you right now!" He said. Cloud and Leon ran for their car, but Xemnas, with his soccer legs, was faster.
Xemnas forced Cloud to the alleyway to the side of the diner. Larxene tried to stop him, but she did no good. So Leon took his chance and jumped on Xemnas from behind, pulling him down. Xemnas punched him across the face. He was knocked cold. The last thing he could remember was the sound of a police siren and the lights.
