The table was perfectly round, there was no graffiti or scratches in or around it, I dare look under it to check if there were any chewing gum stuck under the table left by their owners.
I sat with my back towards the counter full of food, on my right was Lai, next to him was Paine then Gippal, Tidus, Yuna and Calli being on my left.
I started to poke at my food, trying to butter up the courage to taste it. I looked at each one of their faces, the boys opposite me were stuffing their mouths with as much food as possible - it looked like they were racing to see who could finish theirs first. Paine just shoved her tray away from her not even tempting to try the revolting excuse for spaghetti bolognaise. Yuna mirrored me, trying to be brave enough to take a bite. Calli and Lai seemed to enjoy it. I picked up a spoonful and stared at it.
"Hey Yuna, school starts tomorrow right?" I asked hopeful.
"Yeah, why?" "Do you think the supermarkets will still be open?" I said still hopeful.
"Late night ones yeah." Lai replied before Yuna could.
"Great I'm going shopping for some decent food. Any one care to join me? Your more than welcome." I threw my spoon down and left the table. As I walked through the door I found that I was not alone, everyone at the table joined me - I knew they didn't like it.
The supermarket wasn't far from the school but we didn't have much time to fill our trolleys, the curfew starts today at 10pm and it's now 9pm. Calli had a basket just for her, the boys had a trolley of their own and we had one. We raced up and down the aisles grabbing everything that was mostly ready meals or things that needed microwaving - Mostly junk food and 2 apples, Yuna insisted on having.
Back in our room Yuna offered to unpack our shopping and cook us cheesy beans, we invited to boys and Calli round for dinner too but they have to bring there own bread and beans. After a few minutes Calli knocked on our door with everything she needed for dinner, she claimed she didn't like beans and wasn't that hungry, so she was settled on having a ham sandwich. We had prepared and cooked our dinner by the time the boys turned up. Calli opened the door as three boys walked in, bowls in one hand, bread in the other.
"Sorry we took so long, we cooked our own." Gippal smiled a dreamy smile that made my heart melt.
"So what's on the box?" Tidus said pushing his way through the other two before settling down in front of the sofa.
"Friends. If you don't like it, you can shove it and go watch your own telly." Paine threatened.
" Zaa cusa uhac y suuto pedlr (Jeez some ones a moody bitch.)" Gippal muttered
" Urr ura sekrd ihtancdyht oui (Shh she might understand you.)" I panicked and turned towards Paine, she kept her eyes on the telly. Maybe she doesn't understand Al-Bhed.
"Ura tuach'd, pid oui tu (She doesn't, but you do.)" He smiled that perfect smile again, It was so gorgeous that I felt the corners of my lips curl upwards and my face blush.
By the time everyone left it was about midnight, Calli left to her room across the hall from us and the boy used the fire escape so their 'stealth' like appearances weren't busted by walking out the door.
______________________________
Yet another time I was rudely awoken by an alarm clock by the side of some ones bed - most probably Yuna's. I sat up, my eyes still closed and stretched my arms out wide then rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The door opened slightly and Yuna crept in holding a saucepan and wooden spoon, she smiled and me deviously and headed towards Paine's bed.
"Wakey, wakey sleepy head!" She screeched from the top of her lungs banging the two objects in her hands together - I cant believe she stole one of my ideas to annoy Dr P - don't ask where it came from because no one knows - maybe plan B instead then.
Paine leaped out of her bed and fell onto the floor, she groaned and got onto her feet. "Just you wait till I rip you head off and stuff it down the toilet." She said in a menacing tone.
"You can't hurt me cause I'm cooking pancakes." Looks like Yuna won that fight. Paine just left the room and headed for the bathroom - she better get out there soon - I got out of my pit and made my way over to the huge walk-in wardrobe, pulling out a garment they called our uniforms and laying it on my now made bed. I raised an eyebrow.
"Yuna?" "Yeah?" She answered poking her head round the door.
"Are, our beds self-making?" "No silly, I made it for you." Yuna went back to whatever she was doing before and I stared at the uniform. The skirt was a very dark navy blue, and a white blouse - great now I have to find shoes for this outfit. I rolled my eyes and hoped that I had something that would match. I put on the outfit and looked in out floor length mirror - I guess I didn't look so bad - I rolled up the skirt to make it shorter. It looked much better now.
I sat down on the sofa with my plate of pancakes. As I started to eat Paine walk into the room her hair was the same pointy over-waxed hairstyle, her make up was pale but dark around the eyes - she looked vampireish. Paine sighed and sat down beside me with her pancakes.
"Do we have to wear these stupid uniforms?" Her skirt was rolled up the same as mine and she wore knee high black heels.
"I kinda like them." Yuna said cheerfully, she didn't roll her up and wore a black pare of loafers. Her make up was subtle with a pale light brown eye shadow that matched her mixed eyes.
"There always has to be one." Yuna smiled at Paine's supposed compliment. She wasn't as quick to notice the sarcaism in her voice. Once I finished I put the dirty dishes in the sink and walked towards the bathroom. I applied my foundation, mascara and a little eye liner around the my eyes to make them look bigger, but I was indecisive on which eye shadow, brown? To boring. Yellow? A little to bright but a definite maybe. By the time I chose it was a little late, I thought the plain effect could work for today, see what some others look like first.
Our first lesson was about Spira and its history - please don't let me fall asleep on my first day. Me, Yuna and Paine stood outside the class room behind the waiting line for the door.
"Hey Yunie, you and Ti seem to be getting along well." I smiled. Yuna aloud me to call her Yunie but Ti was a little more difficult. I tried everything, Spiky, Chocobo, Tiddy, eventually he settled on Ti.
"Yeah, he's nice." Yuna blushed.
"You fancy him don't you!" I smiled with my mouth open making her blush more.
"No!" Yuna blurted a little loud making people in the line turn and stare.
"It's obvious Yuna, your whole face is pink." Paine grinned, taking advantage of the conversation. As Yuna started to fade back to her normal colour the boys walked toward us, all wearing dark navy trousers and a white shirt with the collar up, Gippal was the only one in a blazer. Ti stood beside Yuna, Gippal between me and Paine with Lai beside her.
"Hey Yuna." Ti said flirty and winked at her. Me and Paine both giggled - Well I giggled, Paine kind of snickered - making Yuna blush excessively again.
"What? What did I miss?" Ti raised an eyebrow eyeing both me and Paine.
"Oh nothing." Paine smirked turning her back to Ti. I couldn't help but bust into laughter by Yuna's rather pink face and Ti's confused look. I grabbed my side with one hand and let my other hand catch my fall as my legs gave way - I knew I'd be on the floor in a matter of seconds, but two strong arms grabbed a hold of me before I hit the ground. I looked up still in my giggle fit to see Gippal holding me close to him with his arm around me. I started to calm down a lot quicker as Gippal looked into my eyes, He turned his gaze towards Yuna.
"What's with her?" referring to me.
"Nothing!" Yuna said a little to quick and abscond into the classroom. We walked into the classroom and took are seats which had our names on. I sat in the far back corner by the window, Yuna in front of me, Paine in front of her. In the next row Ti was next to Paine, in the third row Gippal was on my line and Lai was in front of him.
As the teacher walked in he stared at us with his piecing Grey-Blue eyes, He had dark gray-ish hair and wore and dark blue turtle neck top with black jeans. He was the best looking teacher I've seen so far.
"My name is Zack, I don't want any formalities in this class." He announced to us, walking behind his desk.
"Today I going to ask some questions and see how much you know about Spira." Oh crap this lesson is going to screw my education, I hope I get an easy one.
"You… Erm Yuna is it? Give me a description on Pyreflies."
"Erm. Pyreflies are a type of matter that drifts throughout Spira via it's waterways. Despite there name, Pyreflies are not insects and have no physical form. Pyre-"
"Thank you, Gippal a description of Spira." Yuna is gonna be mad that he cut her off like that.
"Spira, The name of our world. Spira is full of diverse landscapes and populated by many different races."
"Baralai, A description of Sin."
"Sin is an entity that appeared at the end of the machina war between Bevelle and Zanarkand. It brought with it a thousand years of chaos and destruction that has halted the advancements of Spira's civilisation."
"Erm, Rikku in the far corner, a description of the Farplane." Oh I knew I'd get the one I didn't want to do. I hate the Farplane why the hell would I want to talk about it?
"The Farplane is the final resting place of the dead." I could hear my voice breaking at the end. "Summoners perform a sending that guides the souls of the departed to the Farplane. The teachings of Yevon state that unsent souls eventually become fiends." I whispered the end of my sentence. I rested my head on the desk, closing my eyes and breathing deeply.
"Not a fan of the Farplane, Rikku?" "No sir - Zack." I corrected myself.
"Very well then, Tidus a description of Blitzball." I looked up from my desk, Zack seemed utterly bored, like he didn't even care if we knew anything about Spira.
"Blitzball is a water sport and loved throughout Spira. While Sin terrorises Spira, Blitzball helps the people forget their troubles as they cheer on their home town's finest athletes." I could hear the smirk in Ti's voice as he spoke.
As the bell rang loudly, making me jump out of my happy place, Gippal was by my side in a flash helping me pack away my things.
"It's alright I can do it myself you know." He smiled that dreamy smile of his, making mine look impish.
"I know I just wanted to be polite and help the young woman." Luckily my natural tan hid most of my heated blush. I looked down shyly gathering my things.
Our second class was survival class, which took up almost all of the day so no more lessons today - thank Yevon.
Four teachers stood in a line beside one another. The first woman or girl on the right was very petit, she had short black pixie hair with a bandanna on her forehead, she wore light brown shorts, a dark blue tank top with white flowers with a faded green jacket unzipped. Laced knee length cream boots with black socks and a very big pointy sharp thing attached to her back. I'm pretty sure its not a sword.
The second girl was abit taller with long dark brown hair, black knee length leather shorts with a leather skirt above it - it had some weird train thing attached to the back of the skirt - a white shirt with a black leather top over it with a zip down the middle, It made her bust look huge - I bet their fake - and some black shoes - what is it with people and leather?
Next was a blonde guy much taller that the pixie, his hair spiked in all different directions and looked sharp to touch. He wore a high neck navy shirt with no sleeves which was half unzipped and huge black baggy jeans that looked really heavy. His left leg was covered by a long piece of material, and he wore big black combat boots. I was a little scared by the huge sword on his back - I'm sure it's bigger than himself!
The last guy was easy to describe, He was taller than the blonde guy and had long black hair with a red bandanna, a long red cloak that was jagged and torn. The top half of the cloak covered the bottom half of his face and down to his elbows, underneath his cloak he wore black everything black with buckles, lots and lots of buckles with a gun attached to his right leg. He had pointy gold shoes and a gold claw hand - which kind of freaked me
out - He had his arms crossed and looked bored like my last teacher Zack did.
All of them had something red, the weird looking guy had a red cloak and the other three had red ribbon tied to the top of their left arms.
"I want 2 groups of 6 and 2 groups of 5. And I want you lined up in front of one of us." Shouted the blonde guy. There was no point in even thinking about who was going to be in our group. The 6 of us lined up in front of the long brown haired girl.
"Right now that I have your attention, my name is Cloud, this here is Vincent, Tifa and Yuffie. We are going to be your survival teachers and this here behind us is going to be your training grounds." He pointed to the huge forest that was blocked off by thick wire fencing and a padlocked gate.
"In each group one must be a healer, the rest may be as you wish. To finish this task you must get to the middle of the forest, it wont be a walk in the park but that is why you have us to guide you through this once. Remember your surroundings and you should be fine."
"I'll be the healer." Yuna whispered.
"Each teacher has a shed full of weapons, Armour, potions and fighting needs, don't get cocky." Our teacher - Tifa - took us to her shed, as we walked in the boys leaped in head first, Ti grabbed a blue long sword, Gippal had a huge Machina drill gun and Lai had an extendable rod. As I walked over to the swords and daggers I saw Yuna pick up a long blue staff with a red handle and bell at the bottom, the top of the staff was, well it was yellow with a big circle and, erm I don't know it's hard to describe. I picked up two daggers that where exactly the same, I span one of the around, hearing the sharp blade whistle as it sliced through the air.
"Watch where your spinning that!" Paine shouted at me, I hope I got close to cutting of her hair. I looked at the weapon in her hand, the handle of her sword was black and the long pointy blade was metallic silver, they were both separated by a silver skull which fit her personality completely, I felt my eyes roll.
