Now to Then
The Girl in the Portrait
A/N: Hey!! This is my first fic on fanfiction.net with my Yami, Angel. He hates me.. Oh well, can't have every bishounen there is. Anyhow, Please Read and Review.
Couples: CE x D, Ch x No, Cl x R, G x Ci, Ni x B, U x El, A x P, E x O, T x A, El x L, L x P.
The school bell rang throughout the whole high school. People rushed to their classes in a hurry from the thought of being caught by their teachers or Principal Blackwell and given detention. One girl in particular walked to her class without pausing. She knew the building like the back of her hand. Going into a class on one side of the corridor with lockers and classes, she glanced around at the pathetic excuses for students, till one caught her eye.
"Slayer!!" She groaned. It was Angel Canino. She knew that he hated her since the fourth grade when she "accidentally" kicked him in the balls in a fight between her and Bowman. It wasn't completely her fault!! He was the one who stepped into block the attack for his friend. She grinned slightly and sat down in her seat in annoyance. Even though he was a senior, he was the same age as the tall sophomore. They had been in the same grade until this year when he had passed some weird test that allowed him to skip a grade.
"What do you want, Angel?" She growled at him as he smirked casually. He was tall, handsome with light blonde fluffy hair that he let grow to his ears, and the cutie she had crushed on since she learned to like guys. The girl let her hair run down to the middle of her back and swished a long strand-full of red wavy hair to her back and off her shoulder.
"What was the answer to that riddle last night?" He asked. She groaned in annoyance as she discreetly asked him to jump off a cliff without a bungee cord. He pretty much got the message and left the girl alone until Mrs. Okaru entered. "Hey, Tala."
"What?!" Suddenly the teacher with her short brunette hair in plaits turned around, re-adjusting her glasses. Mrs. Okaru was the one teacher you never wanted to have. She was mean, temperamental, and not at all an ounce of nice. She was the one that would put you in detention of anything so minimal that you would have it for a whole month if she chose, because her and Mr. Blackwell were Husband and wife.
"Ms. Tala Smith and Mr. Angel Canino!! Get up here this instant!!" Slamming her head in her desk by accident, Tala and Angel gathered their bookbags and other items and walked over to the front of the class. Mrs. Okaru tapped her foot waiting for them as impatiently as possible. She pointed to the water buckets near her desk. The redhead sighed and grabbed two for herself and two for Angel. The duo walked out of the class shutting the door behind them.
"Here, Angel-sempai." She fiercely gave him a pair of buckets as she went to fill her own two up. Angel caught them sneering at the freshman. Apparently they would be stuck outside of class for quite a long time. After filling her own up, Tala sat down on the floor listening to Mrs. Okaru's ranting and rambling on about something for math. Angel put his buckets down as he filled them and sat against the wall beside the freshman.
"Don't you just hate Mrs. Okaru?" Tala looked towards him in surprise. He never ever even wanted to say anything to her unless it was an insult or to ask about the night's homework or project. She smirked slightly without saying anything. "She's just so mean on anything that is wrong." She had to agree with that.
(Half-an hour later)
"And she's even married to Mr. Blackwell, doesn't it seem.I don't know but weird?" Tala groaned. Did he ever stop yapping?! Suddenly she heard the clacking of shoes toward them. Getting up with the buckets in tow, Angel quickly followed suit. A girl with silver-blue hair and gray eyes ran over to them. Two scars were noticeable on both of her cheeks, as she looked at them then down to the map in quick recession.
"Umm.Excuse me.Is this the right place? I can't seem to find my class. I have Mrs. Okaru for A+P Calculus." Angel and Tala stared at the girl. How in the hell could she get lost? Tala sighed putting down the buckets and looked at the map then back at her. The map was very detailed.
"This is Mrs. Okaru's room. How can you get lost?" The girl smiled and nodded to herself. Looking at Tala she smiled brightly as she opened her mouth to answer, but then out came Mrs. Okaru. Her plaits were messed up as usual when it was halfway through the class. The teacher really badly needed to not be a bag of nerves.
"Mr. Canino, Ms. Smith!! What is this?! And Child why are you talking to my students when you should be in class!!" Mrs. Okaru put her hands prominently on her hips as she glared at the lost girl. Cirrus looked up and smiled brightly towards the teacher.
"I'm looking for my classroom. Y'see I'm lost. These two were telling me if this was my class." Mrs. Okaru blinked about two times before she finally got it. She was baffled on how anyone could get lost in the hallways of Vermont Rose High School. The girl then handed the elder a note. Reading it, Mrs. Okaru blinked and re-read it. It read:
Dear Teachers of Ms. Cirrus Strife,
Cirrus Strife is a very special child and can lose her way to even her own house or in her own house. I ask of you all to humbly accept that if my dear daughter is late to any of her classes that you excuse her and allow her to go on in her studies for the rest of the year and not mind her being able to find her classes right when the next class begins. She has no sense of direction, forgive her for this shortcoming.
Thank you,
Tifa Strife
Signed Principal Blackwell.
"Well, Cirrus try to see that you are not late for my class again." The teacher's sharp tone of voice slammed into the wall of the girl who had disappeared off to somewhere. Angel and Tala glanced down the hall where she looked around lost once more. "CIRRUS STRIFE!!!" The girl looked back and skipped all the way to Mrs. Okaru. "Get in my class!!"
"Sure thing, Ms.?" Cirrus replied questionably. Mrs. Okaru's face was getting an awful reddish color as her fore-veins were popping out of her head. Tala and Angel watched with interest. Cirrus stared at her blankly waiting for an answer.
"Okaru." The calculus teacher told her in a dangerously low voice as she grabbed Cirrus by the arm and dragged her into the class. The redhead watched the door close with the sounds of yelling coming from behind its closed hinges.
"I hope the rest of the day isn't this hectic." The two enemies said at once. Noticing they both had spoken they turned their heads away from the other's in disgust.

third period, Drama for Tala.
"What's up, Cel? Have you gotten my costume made for me?" The troublesome redhead turned towards her paired designer. Celine smirked as she held up a peace sign. Celine was a Junior with short silvery-blue hair and ruby eyes with a figure to make the men go wild. Funny thing was that Celine never really dated anyone. Her parents weren't that strict, and she was allowed friends and all thatbut she never went out with anyone that the school even knew or that anyone knew.
"It's almost finished Tala. You're going to be a wonderful Medea, along with Angel being Jason." She told Tala, immediately. One thing that was new, as Tala watched the outsider girl weave her fingers through the cloth as she hemed the dress just right. Tala shrugged it off as she got ready to say her part of Medea, when th egirl from that morning rushed in. She looked beat as the theatre teacher, Bail, went over to her to demand why sh wasn't at the class on time.
Celine looked up from her crafty handiwork and looked over to the new girl. Her hair upheld by a crimson bandanna of sorts with a triangle on the front that kept her wild bangs from her eyes when she sewed. Cirrus smiled at the elder like she had the rest of the teachers and gave the note to her then went off towards the rest of the sowers.
The Junior shrugged her shoulders as she put the finished mulberry red dress next to the headdress for Tala. Who would know that she would give almost anything to be able to be on stage and dance away to her heart's content?
"Celine Jules, I presume?" The new girl asked. Sighing in frustration Celine nodded. "Hi, I'm Cirrus Strife. I'm new here." 'No kidding, kid.' Celine thought as she continued on alternating some of the sleeves from one of the children's tunics. "May I help you on any of those?" Celine shook her head as she concentrated on the alteration. "Oh, okay. Well, if you do just call me okay?" Boy was this girl annoying, Celine thought as she finsihed up the class.

4th period, Tala's class, choir
Tala walked into her fourth period with Cirrus. That girl had gotten lost and luckily Tala just happened to had found her on her way to Choir which they shared together with Gyoro Anchors, one of the Triplets of the Anchors family.
"Heyas, Talinita!! How's it going?" He asked her as he rubbed his dark blue hair in habit. Tala let his nickname for her go. It was the usual whenever she entered the same calss with him. Cirrus glanced at her and then him. "Heya, beauty what's your name?" the poor no directed girl blushed so furiously as she smiled shyly.
"It's going just fine. This is C-" Tala blinked as she was cutoff by the teacher asking the class to go to their assigned sections. Cirrus ran over to the Sopranos as Tala and Gyoro to the tenors. Gyoro's eyes shone with such brillence as he listened to the new angelic voice he was hearing in his ears from the new girl. He didn't even know her name yet, but still.she was a beauty.
Gyoro Anchors sighed and continued his singing so that he could hear the angelic voice calling out to him.
