My first story so please kindly review to make me happy on my progress thanks! Do take note that the story does not takes place in Japan. I decided to set it up as New Yorker's style^^

Chapter 1

Winter break is finally over. Today is the first day of school for another year. What a total drag! Don't get me wrong. I do not totally hate school but hey which teenagers like school in a whole? I dragged myself out of bed and went to take a shower. While brushing my teeth, I could not help but looked at myself in the mirror noticing how my black fine hair has grown longer. Maybe I should cut my hair after school today if I have the time? Oh wait no! I just forgot for a minute that I have to work after school today, no wait, scratch that, actually practically every day.

Yes hi, my name is Tifa Lockheart and I am 18 years old. I stay alone, because my parents have died since I was ten years old. Oh don't worry, they didn't really left me behind ALONE. They left their will so practically all their money came to me and when I was legal to work which it was 14 years old, I decided to stop using their money and keep it for emergency instead and work to pay off the rent, school fees and expenditures off.

Oh dear look at the time! It is 7.15am! Shit I better get going or not I'll be late for the opening ceremony. I grabbed my bag, head out of my room and grabbed two pieces of bread before leaving my apartment. I jogged to the train station as I ate one of my bread. Since it was the rush hour period so I practically got squeezed in the bloody train! How I wish I am rich enough to have my own vehicle…. NOT! Once I reached my stop, I was so happy to finally breathe the fresh air again instead of people's fart or what not. I walked to school as I eat my other piece of bread with my backpack strapped to my back and I could see from far that students started to gather at the school gate already.

"Hey Tifa!"

I turned around as I stopped and saw Yuffie running towards me. You could say she's like my best friend around.

"Hey Yuffie."

When she caught up with me, we walked up to school together, catching up on various things and as we passed through the school gates, we could see various groups gathering around at the foyer.

We could see some of the kids driving in to park their cars. How lucky are they! Yuffie and myself were going into the school building when a thunderous roar caught everyone's attention including us.

"Oh, guess who is here. The almighty Cloud Strife. The famous bachelor in our school of all time."

I couldn't help but giggle at her comment.

"Well Yuffie, he is good looking after all. Look at the girls ogling over him right now."

Really, no kidding. After Cloud kicked the side stand of his bike down, he took off his goggles and this caused the girls standing at the side of the school building entrance to squeal.

Yuffie just gave a digusted look.

"Come one Yuffie, let's head off to class. We do not want to be late for the opening ceremony." I walked past her as I gave her a tap on her shoulder.

After Yuffie walked in the school building, I couldn't help but to look over my shoulder as if someone was looking at me. It must have been my imagination.

Little did Tifa knew, someone was actually stealing a glance of her as he got off from his bike.

Everyone was assembled in the school hall listening to the boring principal giving his speech. I could be using this time to take a nap! No one could care less. I could see some students were whispering to each other or either using their mobile phones. We were all standing like how soldiers report in. Who could tolerate that?!

When finally it is over, we were all dismissed and heading to the lockers to get our books for our first class. Yuffie was yapping away to me but honestly speaking, I was daydreaming.

"Hey babe, check that out. That chick is talking to mr bachelor. I am wondering if she's confessing to him or asking him out."

"I guess she is asking either one."

She was obviously rejected because I saw spiky shaking his head and then he walked away. Okay I am naming him spiky in my mind as it is much easier to say. I could see tears brimming at her eyes but luckily for her friends coming to her side to back her up or not I think she would of just explode into crying and then run away.

Yuffie and myself finally reached our course of destination and yes, our lockers happened to be beside each other.

"You know Tifa, I can't help but wonder if the bachelor does have a girlfriend." Yuffie spoke as she was reaching out for her books in her locker.

"Well you know Yuffie, even if he did, honestly I do not give a damn." I replied as I was reaching out for my books as well.

"Oh come on Tifa, aren't you abit curious? You did say he is handsome after all." Yuffie looked at me as she closed her locker shut.

Oh dear. Why did my friend remember that?

"Well take it this way, if I were to say Jason Statham is hot, doesn't mean I stalk him to the grounds to find out who is he dating right?" I retaliated as I shut my locker.

Did I even make any sense?

"You got a point there."

Thank god she accepted that ridiculous answer! As Yuffie made her way into the classroom, I felt it again, like how I felt this morning but when I look over my shoulder, I just saw students scattering around the locker area or making their way to the classroom. One word, strange.

Yuffie sat at the back so I decided to take the seat beside her which is beside the window. It is my favourite seat, away from the class and I get to be in my own world at times. As I spacing out to the board, a familiar face entered in. Oh wait, isn't that spiky? Spiky walked into our class and took a seat in the center.

"Yo Cloud, how's it hanging?" I believe that is Zack who came to talk to him seeing that he has been in our class several times. They were giving each other some handshake.

"Hey." Did he just reply his friend a hey?

"Yo Tifa, guess mr bachelor will be in our class from now on." Yuffie spoke while she scooted nearer to me.

"Okay class, please get seated. If you all realized, there are some new faces due to your results last year so please get comfy and get to know one another alright? For now, please turn to your history book st page 15." Ms Elena spoke as she walked into the class and placed her stuff on the table.

Okay, this explains why spiky is in our class.
