Disclaimer: Don't own Final Fantasy or its characters
It was a bright and sunny day. A great day to start your new school. It wasn't the case for
one perticular high school student, who lost his girlfriend a year ago. Dark and cloudy days is what
suited him and the angst in his heart has yet to heal. The high school student was deep in thoughts,
like he always was.
"Damn, I don't feel like going to school today, this is so pointless", Cloud thought to himself.
It was a year ago his girlfriend was killed in a car accident, while he was at Mako Military
School. He hated himself for not being able to be there for her. He even considered commiting
suicide to ease the pain he was feeling.
As he approached his new school, Cloud noticed that two high school student was fighting.
The fight, however was completely one sided as the long-silver haired student with piercing eyes won
without much effort.
"You are as pathetic as you look, i thought you would know how to fight at least alittle", the
silver-haired student, shouted. " If you gonna talk shit, then back it up next time", as the student
walked away.
"DAMNIT, why can't i beat him", the other student, who lost, yelled out.
"Its, because your're weak and don't know anything about fighting other than using brute
force", Cloud, replied discreetly.
The student got off the ground and glared at Cloud. He always considered himself strong.
He has bulking muscles, a metal hand, and an attitude you got to respect. He was also the
captain of the wrestling club crying out loud. To see a student he never seen before, make a
comment like that, just simply pissed him off.
"Oh, so Mr. Spikey head over hear think he knows a thing or two about fighting", the bulky
student yelled. " I'll kick your ass and teach you a thing or two you puny little twerp".
The pissed student threw a hard right at Cloud, however all was in vain, as Cloud simply
avoided the attack and kick the student in the stomach. The impact of the hit can be heard
throughout the school, and the bulky student fell to his knees, gasping for air.
There was an few minutes of silence, until the student got back up.
" Its time for me to go to my first class, i don't have time to waste with you", Cloud broke the
silence." As Cloud slowly headed to school's front door, the hurting student snaped his fingers to
get Clouds attention.
" This ain't over you hear, i'll show you what i'm really about , and by the way, the names
Barret and don't you forget it"the hulking figured finally replied.
Cloud simply glared at him for a moment then walked into the school. Barret dusted
himself off and likewise walked into school.
Cloud's first class was math, a subject he was very good at. As he glanced the classroom
he noticed that their was quite a few people in the classroom. Most of them staring at him. He
simply ignored them and sat on an empty desk, as the class was about to begin.
"Class, we have a new student today", the teacher announced to the class." He just
transfered from Mako Military School, why dont you come over and introduce yourself."
Cloud groaned, got up and walked to the front of the class. He noticed that alot of
girls was giggling and blushed when he looked at their direction.
"Um, My name is Cloud Strife, as the teacher mentioned i'm from a military school, nice
to meet you all", after his short introduction, Cloud walked back to his seat.
Cloud felt someone was glaring at him. Cloud shifted his head to the right and what a
suprise, it was the foul-mouthed Barret. Cloud blew him off, and focused for today's lesson. As first
period comes to a close, Cloud noticed two girls walking up to him.
"My name is Tifa and my friend here is Yuffie, nice to meet you",the two girls smiled
"What do you want."
Cloud coldly looked at the girls.
"Well I thought i would start a confersation with you, you know, you look alittle lonely
and i figured you could use a few friends." Tifa replied
"Not interested"
Cloud stood up from his chair and walked out the door. He started to think to himself, how
annoying his day has been, then started to think about his dead girlfriend, Aeris.
"I wish you were still here", he thought to himself and walked to his next class, which
is history.
As Cloud sat down, a familar figure sat next to him. It was obvious to him who it was,
with the long brown hair and body that is well endowed. He was wondering why this girl is being
so persistent to talk to him.
"Hi, again"
"Since you wasn't in the mood to talk earlier, I thought you might want to talk
to me now" Tifa said
Cloud simply smiled and thought what he should say.
"Alright, but we can talk at lunch, ok?"
"I want to pay attention to the class"
Tifa's face lit up and gave Cloud a welcoming nod.
Cloud thought to himself again and came to a conclusion that this was going to be
a very long day.
