Tifa's POVI walked down the hallway of my high school awkwardly, keeping my head down. I was trying to avoid getting made fun of as I searched for Lightning, Yuna, and Yuffie. I hid my head while walking by Zack, Sephiroth, Cloud and Aerith. "Hey fatty!" Aerith shouted at me. I was heavier girl and they never let me hear the end of it. All three guys started to laugh. I ignored her. Today was the last day of high school. Senior graduation day. It was the end of school. A few more minutes, I kept thinking to myself. She caught up with me. "You coming to my party tonight?" Aerith asked. "I wasn't invited remember? You gave me a 'you're not invited' card." I muttered. "Awh don't be so bitter. Look you can come over and bring your lame ass friends too! I promise it will be fun." "I don't know." "Awh come on! It is grad day! You have to have a night to REMEMBER." "I guess I will go but I am inviting my friends." I looked at her suspicously. I really didn't want to go but she was right. "Perfect! See ya then nerd." she said as she ran back to her friends. What have I gotten myself into? I just shook my head and found my friends. "Hi Tifa!" Yuffie squealed when she saw me. I waved and walked up to them. "Hey guys." I said quietly. "We were just saying we should have our own party at my house! You know since we aren't getting invited anywhere..." Yuna said. "Yea about that... We were invited to Aerith's party tonight." I said quietly. Everyone stared at me astonished. "Really?" Lightning asked. "Yeah...she kinda just walked up to me and said that all of us are invited." "I don't trust it." Yuffie said. "Oh come on it'll be fun! Our first party!" Yuna squealed. "Okay but we stick together never away from each other alright?" Lightning said. We all nodded. "Okay well let's go get ready for a party!" Yuffie squealed. We all went back to my house to get ready. I did my makeup and curled my hair and put on a black dress. Yuffie wore a purple dress. Lightning wore a white dress and straightened her strange pink hair. Yuna wore a blue dress. We all actually looked really good. Our first party will be amazing. It was getting close to the time when we had to leave so we got in a car and Lightning drove us. We pulled up to her house and felt a little less confident than we did back at my house. We all slowly got out of the car. Aerith's house was huge. I gulped as we got to the door. It was already dark outside and really loud music was playing inside. Yuffie opened the door and we greeted by tons of drunken teens. My eyes widened. Oh shit. I followed Lightning inside. "Why did we chose to come here?" I muttered. "HEY WHORES!" Aerith shouted towards us obviously tipsy. She walked up to us- well more like stumbled. "Fat ass, Pinkie, Bimbo and Bitchy! What's up?" (AKA Tifa, Lightning, Yuna and Yuffie.) "Um nothing?" Yuna said. "Well Imma bout to get a taste of Sephie! OMG he is so gorgeous!" Aerith gushed. "Aren't you dating Cloud?" "I am dumping that bitch tonight!" We all looked at her astonished. "I suggest you guys find a special guy for tonight! You never when love will strike!" She said and then all looked dumbfounded. "I need a drink." I mutter and grab a red plastic cup full of something alcoholic. "That looks very promising to drink." A deep voice said from behind me. I stiffened I know that voice. "Y-Yeah." I said turning towards Zack. My crush for the past three years. What can I say I am a hopeless romantic? I looked around panicking where are my damn friends when I need them! So much for sticking together. "I would recommend putting that cup down. It has a curious mixture of alcohol. You are better off with a beer." I nodded and set it down. I grabbed a beer and took a drink. "That's better he said." "Why are you talking to me?" I blurted. He looked at me strangely. I wish I could just hide under a rock. "I can't talk to you?" HE said stepping closer. "You can, but sorry for being surprised when you talk to me for the first time without sounding like a complete dick." I walked away. I didn't have to look back to know he followed. I went outside to Aerith's garden. I looked at all her flowers. "I'm sorry you know?" He said finally. "I highly doubt it." "I seriously am." "Since when? Since you laughed at me just a few hours ago when the whore called me fatty? Since then? Because don't say you've changed." "Look I have to go along with what she says-" "Why are you getting some action on the side from her? Hm? She satisfying you like she is doing right now to Sephiroth? Are you going behind your friend's back too?" Zack didn't say anything. "That's what I thought." I said and started to walk inside. He grabbed my arm. "When have you become so tough?" "I have always been this tough, but I kill people with kindness and it is always harder when people outnumber you." I said bitterly. He nodded. "I'm sorry." "I am too. I feel sorry for you because you are going to be no where in ten years and I will be more successful than half the people that went to our school. You might be lucky enough to play college football, or maybe not. You will probably end up marrying a whore who sleeps with your friends and then your perfect figure, it'll go away. You will get a beer gut and end up spending the rest of your life unemployed and an alcoholic sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and remember this warning I am giving you when you know your so called wife is tired of you. Now let go of my arm." I said and tugged my arm away from him and walked back inside.I grabbed a plastic red cup. Fuck it. I am better off drunk.
