Tifa's New Life...
She thought this was the biggest school ever, in fact she had no idea what to do or where to go! Tifa Lockhart was the new girl at Nible High and she was surprised at how many friends she made in a week, plus how fast her mom and dad got used to a small town, since she was born in the big city named Midgar and lived there he whole life. Until Tifa's dad lost his job and wanted to move to a place that was small and peaceful. Her mom was in on it to, she hated big cities and wanted a small cottage to relax and enjoy the rest of her life with her family. But the problem was Tifa didn't want to move, but she didn't have a choice. But when she moved to this new place after awhile she was so happy she moved here, for all the stuff that was to happen to her was all surprising. And just a couple of people out of the ordinary changed her life, her world...And her heart.
First day of School...
"And I want to welcome a new student all the way from Midgar, Tifa Lockhart." Mrs. Bains said looking up from the piece of paper. As all the students welcomed her. Tifa smiled and sat down in the back of the class ready for a new school and whatever she expected. She started to get out her binder to start working until someone spoke to her.
"Hi!" the stranger said.
"Hi.." mumbled Tifa.
"The names Cloud! I saw you this morning walking into the school, how do you like it here so far?"
"It's very nice." Tifa said.
Cloud laughed. After the class Tifa got up to leave but got stopped by this "Cloud" person. She turned around to see four other people were with him this time.
"Hey! You must be Tifa." Said a strange girl.
"Hi, umm I have to go.." Tifa said trying to get out of the situation.
"Oh one sec, I want you to meet the team!" Cloud said. "This is Aeris, Yuffie, Zack and Barret!"
"Hi!" they all said.
"Nice to meet cha!" Yuffie said.
"You too, um I'll see you guys some other time." Tifa said walking towards the front of the school seeing her mom's car waiting outside.
"Okay, well bye!" Cloud said facing the gang again.
"Dude, what is wrong with that girl!" Barret asked.
"She's just new give her a break." Aeris said.
"Yeah Bart!" Yuffie said laughing.
"HEY I told you not to call me that!" Barret said sounding angry. Yuffie hid behind Cloud while they were laughing. When Cloud finished laughing he looked back outside to see her get in the car and drive off.
"I wonder where she lives?" Cloud asked.
"Probley in the old ugly mansion!" Barret said giggling.
"And how do you know that?" Aeris questioned.
"Because of the way she acted! And did you see what she was wearing like a skimpy little plaid skirt with a tank top! Like geez get some clothes on!" Barret laughed out loud.
"Hey don't judge her! And I bet she doesn't live in that big mansion down the hill, no one has lived there for years!" Cloud said.
"Well with her coming into town I bet they changed their minds!" Barret added.
"Ugh, will you guys ever stop arguing! Let's just go chill at the spot!" Aeris said walking out of the school.
"Ok, c'mon Zack-attack!" Barret said picking Zack up and putting him on his shoulders, and following Aeris out the door.
"Yuffie, you got to get hold of your bf!" Cloud said sighing.
"I know, I know." Yuffie said grabbing Clouds arm and running out of the school. When all 5 of them got to the "spot" they were talking about classes, enemy's plus the new girl.
"Oh man! I got Science with Barret.." Zack said, while Barret laughed and gave him a nuggy.
"Hey, guys cut it out lets talk about that new girl, Zack did you see her today?" Yuffie asked.
"Yeah the one with long black hair brown eyes and was wearing sexy clothing?" Zack said looking up at Aeris, glaring at him.
"Yeah, that one." Aeris said crossing her arms
"Sorry hunny." Zack apologized.
Aeris smiled and got up to sit by him. Barret and Yuffie were sitting together as well but Cloud was all alone. After awhile of talking about the new girl, They decided to get ice-cream and who could have guessed whom they saw at the ice-cream parlor.
"Reno..." Cloud hissed.
"Want me to beat him up for ya!" Barret said putting up his fists.
"No, if you leave him alone the better it is!" Aeris said pushing the boys back.
"Oh no, here he comes." Yuffie said crossing her arms.
"Hello, "Soldier" what are you guys doing here?" Reno saluting Cloud like it was a joke plus flicking his fiery red hair behind his shoulders.
"Were here to get ice-cream and nothing else!" Aeris said staring at him to back off. Reno laughed and walked away.
"That was close I was going to punch the lights out of him!" Barret said. They all laughed, got their favorite kinds of ice-cream and left back to the spot. They all sat there and talked till it got dark and heard each one of their parents call them in to dinner. They all said "bye." and that they would see them tomorrow. Cloud was the last one outside, he layed back stretching his arms behind his back. He looked up at the stars and thought about Tifa. I guess he wanted her to be one of them, part of their gang. But he didn't know how. He thought for awhile until he heard his mom calling him in.
"Cloud!" She said.
"Coming mom!" Cloud said climbing down from the well. He headed into his house and noticed Tifa was in her bedroom window brushing her hair, then he noticed that was next to his house! She was his neighbor! "This is great!" Cloud said to himself and ran inside. The next day he would ask her to hang with them at the spot! He thought it might work if she was in a good mood.
The next day was as boring as ever! All of them have almost the same classes but Cloud had the most with Tifa, Yuffie had the most with Barret, and Aeris with most of Zack's classes. But there was one class all six of them were in and that was Math! It was the last block of the day, and it was of course Math class. The gang sat at the back row of the class. And not really there to learn they passed notes played games etc. Then Tifa walked in and all of them were surprised that they were in the same class as her! Cloud spoke to her when she walked in.
"Hey, Tifa! Come sit here!" He said, as Tifa looked straight at him and sighed.
"Okay." Tifa said walking towards them.
"Hey, how was your first day yesterday?" Cloud asked, trying to be nice.
"It was okay, I guess." She said opening her binder. Cloud admired her smell, she smelled of lavender and he was getting so dizzy from it. Cloud started to ease back and forth trying to get a hold of himself.
"Are you okay Cloud?" Tifa asked. "She said my name! Wow!" Cloud thought.
"Yeah, It's just a headache." Cloud smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Hey, umm do you want to hang with us after school!" Cloud held his breath for the answer.
"Uh, sure!" Tifa smiled. "We should get to work." she said turning around. Cloud smiled a huge smile, but had a questioning face while he was turning around to see his friends trying to hear the conversation they had. But when he turned fully around they went back to their ordinary position. He laughed and got to his work. Thinking of how beautiful Tifa was. Asking the teacher questions and doing so much work, Cloud could see that they would get along well.
"RING...RING" After the bell rang they jumped up from their chairs and were excited to get the hell out of there! They went to their lockers, which were in the same isle and beside each other. Tifa laughed at how all of them are so close friends. When they were finished they sat on two benches at the school just to rest from all the hard work they did.
"Wow, I never worked that hard in my life!" Zack said.
"Yeah, I have a headache!" Yuffie said whining.
"So guys what do you what to do today?" Aeris asked.
"I don't know, go eat some pixie sticks!" Barret suggested.
"Yeah great idea." They all said and got up to leave, but Cloud saw Tifa coming towards him.
"Hey, you're really here! Were all going to get pixie sticks want to come?" Cloud said pointing out the door.
"Sure I love those!" Tifa said with a smile and ran out to catch up to the gang. Cloud followed behind her. After they got pixie sticks Tifa, Yuffie and Aeris were talking like crazy about everything! They laughed a couple of times, and they seemed so close.
"Wow, she's pretty kool!" Zack said looking behind at them. They were locking arms like best friends do.
"Yeah, good pick Cloud!" Barret said hitting him in the back.
"Ugh...thanks!" Cloud said while Barret giggled. When they got to the spot Tifa was amazed at how fast she got these friends, just after one day, and she's like best friends! Tifa wanted to got closer to all of them, but all it would take is time. Lots of them were asking Tifa questions about life and her family.
"So Tiff why did you move here?" Yuffie said chomping down some chips.
"My dad lost his job." Tifa said grabbing some chips.
"Oh man that sucks!" Zack said.
"What did he do for a living?" Aeris said finishing off her pixie stick.
"Work at one of the mako reactors." Tifa responded.
"Wow, tough job!" Cloud said.
"Yeah, so we wanted to move to a peaceful, quiet place to spend the rest of our lives." Tifa said.
"Well that's great, to get off that subject! What the heck are we going to do about Reno?" Yuffie asked.
"Smash his face in!" Barret said pounding his fist into his palm. They all laughed.
"No, just tell him to leave us alone!" Aeris suggested.
"That wont work are you kidding me!" Zack said in a sarcastic tone.
"He's right, were going to have to talk to him tomorrow!" Cloud said.
"Oh please! Like he's going to listen!" Yuffie laughed.
"We will make him!" Barret said with a wink.
"So when should we-." Aeris got interrupted.
"Uh who's Reno?" Tifa said with a questioning face.
"Oh sorry, he's a big popular stupid red head that's been my enemy for some time, well all of ours." Cloud said.
"Oh, now I get it!" Tifa said, everyone laughed.
"So as I was saying, when are we going to speak with him tomorrow?" Aeris asked.
"At lunch?" Zack suggested.
"Yeah that's the most valuable time." Cloud said.
After talking about school life everyone started to say "bye" and go in getting ready to face Reno tomorrow, until it was just Tifa and Cloud left.
"So do you like the gang?" Cloud asked feeling a bit awkward.
"I loved it! Yuffie and Aeris are awesome! Thanks so much Cloud." Tifa said.
"No prob, we needed another girl! So do you want to be one of us?" Cloud said laying back.
"Uh, do I have to take a test?" Tifa said laughing.
"No we just hang and get stuff to eat and gossip! That's about it. Me and the gang have been friends since kindergarten so we would like a new person to join us! Plus I think they like you as much as I do!" Cloud looked at her and smiled.
"Oh thanks! So is anyone like together cause some of them seem more than friends?" Tifa asked.
"Yeah, Aeris with Zack and Yuffie with Barret." Cloud said looking for shooting stars.
"Really, I never would have guessed! So you're all alone.." Tifa asked.
"I like it that way, Until I find the right girl of course." Cloud said.
"That's kool, me to except not a girl!" They both laughed.
"Tifa!"
"Oh that must be my mom." Tifa said looking back to her house.
"Well cya tomorrow!" Cloud said.
"You bet cha, oh and thank-you again!" Tifa said dropping to the gravel and running to her house. She waved once more, and Cloud to. Then when he heard the door shut he layed back down again, thinking.
"She really is amazing!" He said while he got up and left inside his house getting pumped for facing Reno tomorrow. That night Tifa was sitting in her room and was still so astounded at how many friends she made! She layed back on her bed sighing, and fell into a deep sleep wondering if Cloud would win Reno over tomorrow. But the gang wasn't prepared for what was going to happen to their lives, their world and their best friend.
