My One And Only

Chapter 1

First Glance

It was another day at Midgar High, the day was sunny and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Aerith Gainsborough was sitting on her desk staring out the class window day dreaming of the flower garden she was growing out side her window at home. She smile. She couldn't wait till they bloom.

She heard the girls talk about them again. The AVALANCHE group. A.K.A the coolest guys in school. They were an interesting bunch, all males and of course all of them very handsome guys.

There was Zack Fair, a spiky raven hair, blue eye boy who was currently known as a lady's man. There was also Squall Leonheart who had shaggy brown hair and gray eyes. He also had a scar on his face though it didn't make him any lest appealing un the contrary it actually makes him look even more handsome and masculine, well that's what the girls in her class had said…

And of course there was also Vincent and Reno who were as opposites as the fiery sun and the pale moon. Vincent had long black hair that reach his low back, his dark hair contracted to his too pale skin and emphasize his crimsoned eyes, though he look quiet intimidating at first he was actually really handsome once you got a good look at him. Reno was another story, though his skin was pale it wasn't as pale as Vincent's. His hair was brilliant red and his eyes were green, though his hair was spiky he wore a long ponytail and his short bangs kept slipping out of it some of his bangs even fell to his face making him look younger and cute.

And then there was him, whit his long blond spiky hair and sapphire eyes that seem almost to glow; like florescent lights but even more beautiful…

Aerith snap herself of her daydream and sighed. 'She was doing it again.' She thought wearily.

It had been happening recently, lately every time she heard people talking about the AVALANCHE group her thoughts had always somehow strayed back to him and only him. The First thing that had drawn her to him were the eyes, his beautiful glowing eyes-the ones she had been thinking only moments ago-then she had been caught of guard wend she saw him I mean really saw him. Smooth pale skin etched with strong leans muscles. His hair was flaxen spikes and he had the most flawless face…

Again Aerith snap herself out of her daze thinking that she couldn't last like this, if she did she would be just like all the girls in her class and she didn't want that. Not at all. But still, she could not help but think about the mysterious, always serious and not too talkative Cloud Strife. She smile at that, even whit out really knowing him Aerith knew that there was more to Cloud Strife then just that.

She Could see kindness in his eyes-wend she didn't get too lost in them-and also shyness that was almost unnoticeable to most people. But not to her, she could see it, just as clearly as she could see all of those other hidden emotions in Cloud sapphire eyes.

'Cloud…' Aerith thought his name and a soft smile appear again in her face as she once again came to the same conclusion she always did about him. Cloud Strife was special.

'He was doing it again.' Zack Fair thought as his stare at his best friend with mock annoyance.

"Cloud Gaia to Cloud! Are you there?"

Cloud blinked several times. He looked around to see Zack staring at him with amusement.

"Let me guess you haven't listened to anything I just said, am I right?" Zack said grinning down at his friend with his arms cross over his chest.

Cloud just shrug and look back to were he was staring before Zack had interrupted him.

Zack follow his gaze and grin wider.

"Ooh, I get it. Is that girl again… What was her name?" Zack ask trying to remember the girls name.

"Aerith." Cloud whisper so low Zack almost didn't catch it but he did and smile.

He knew that Cloud had it bad for the girl ever since she transfer to the school a moth ago. He had been talking Clouds ear off about his resent girlfriend-which he broke up with a weak later-wend he felt Cloud suddenly stop in the hallway were they had been walking toward there next class. He had stop as well and turn to see Cloud staring intently at something at the other side at the hallway.

"Who is she?" Cloud ask in a low voice that did not sound at all like his.

Zack had fallow Cloud gaze curios to know who was the girl that had finally caught his friend's eye and as his eyes finally caught site of her his breath was caught in his throat as he stare at the pretty brunette with her long brown hair and sparkling emerald green eyes. Zack blink several times as his eyes took more of the beautiful mysterious new girl. Her hair was pick up in a thick braid with a pink bow on top, while she wore a simple bottom up pink dress with brown boots and a short red jacket that cover only her shoulders. She had fair skin and a gorgeous body with just enough curves to tempt a Midgar saint. Her face was angelic with round rosy chicks and pink lips that curve into a soft smile.

"An angel?" Zack gawk unable to say anything more intelligible.

"Could be…" He heard Cloud say beside him.

He turn to see Cloud still staring at the beautiful girl with such a daze expression that made Zack groan mentally.

'There won't be any flirting with this one.' Zack thought shaking his head dejectedly.

He knew that Cloud Strife had finally fallen for a girl.

"But come on!," Zack wine in his hade. "Did it had to be this one? She is totally my type."

But Zack knew better that to snatch his best friend crush away; he wouldn't do that to him. And besides Cloud did see her first.

Now back to the present Zack stare at his best friend with a frown on his face. It had been a moth and Cloud still hadn't made a move on her and to be honest Zack was getting rather impatient with his friend. If it had been him he would had made a move on the girl the fist time they saw her but unfortunately it wasn't him and he had to do his best to help Cloud win this girl before somebody else did.

Mean while as Zack thought of a plan to get the two of them to finally meet Cloud gaze had been on Aerith the hall time. He had been thinking at the first time he saw Aerith on the hallway a moth ago. She had caught his attention that day, first with her beauty and then by the girl herself. Every jester, every move and word she said had always caught his attention. She was different from other girls, he had though the first time she come into class. Every guys in the class had been staring at her with more then just a little interest-which he had almost kill them for-but she hadn't been very happy with it not like most girls would be if they found them self the center of all the class male attention, in fact she look absolutely terrified! Cloud held back a chuckle as he remember that day. She had look so cute that day trying to present her self to the class and stuttering most of her name, she had been so shy and so sweet…

Cloud was snap out of his daydream as the teacher came in the class.

"Ok class settled down now, we have a lot of material to study now so I would like your full attention." The teacher said earning a few groans from the students.

Cloud took one last glance at Aerith and turn toward the teacher knowing that his thought would mostly be on the beautiful girl that capture his heart.
