Where are you Aerith?
"I'm going," I mumble. No answer. Of course no one would answer. I grab my keys and leave for school, locking the door behind me, of course.
The sky usually stays dull, I rarely see Midgar on a sunny day. There's always clouds blocking the sun's rays. The clouds make everything worse. You can never tell what the sky is feeling. It could go both ways on a cloudy day. Only on sunny days do I trust the sky. Other then that, I tend not to look at it.
Usually, on my way to school, I keep my eyes down. I don't make eye contact with anyone. If I do, they might see me. I only let people I trust in, and there are few of them left. I cant remember my parents, and I haven't seen Aerith in about, 3 years. I can only trust my best friend these days. Sometime I wonder if I could meet other trust worthy people.
"Leyah!" Lily yells from the front of the school building, "Hey!" she shouts. I smile, and wave to her. Lily. The best friend, I envy her. She's always smiling, and everyone likes her. Her stylish Red hair, and her green eyes, its amazing that she hasn't got a boyfriend.
"hi," I say timidly. Her hair sparkles as she dashes up to me. Makes me feel bad about my hair though. My bland brown hair, the normal length, normal brown, nothing special hair.
"Hey! I was getting worried you weren't going to show!" she says as she smiles. I cock my head to the side.
"Why did you think I wouldn't show?" I ask. Her smile fades for a moment, but she quickly turns around.
"Mmm…No reason!" She says in a happy tone of voice. But I can't see her face, I don't really know what she's thinking.
"Come on, we'll be late if we wait any longer," I say. She nods, and we begin our walk to the school. Lily starts off the conversation with a moan. "What is it?" I ask.
"Even though its our second year of this whole school matter, I'm still really annoyed that they're making us do this." She sighs. I quietly chuckle.
"Well, I think its better than what they made kids do before," I say.
"Why is that?" she asks.
"They used to make the boys, like, become infantrymen, and SOLDIER and stuff…" I start, "A lot of the SOLDIER dudes went mad, and tried to take over the planet, and that wasn't good." Lily shrugged a bit. "So far, none of the high school boys have gone mad, so I'm guessing that this is for the best," I laugh.
"Yeah… but, like, if you think about it logically, it technically wasn't Sephiroth or genesis' fault. It was the cells, right?" Lily has a talent for always making things seem innocent, even when she's talking about a subject that shouldn't be talked about. "At least that's what my dad told me," she mumbles.
"Even if it was the cells that were the problem, that isn't an excuse for what they did," I spat. Lily didn't take it as much, because she didn't seem to have much of a reaction. Suddenly, a man stops us.
"Its bad luck to talk about those men," he warns.
