AN: Don't own FFx or FFX2…

9-10 (Wednesday)

I was woken up by a rather annoying buzz in my head. I shook my head and it didn't go away. I laughed when I realized it was my alarm clock. I smiled and slapped it off. First day of school…

"Crap!" I yelled. I had fallen back asleep and thought I had gotten up. You know what I'm talking about right? When you think you're awake when your not…Anyway… I jumped up and rifled through my drawers as quickly as I could. I found some baggy blue jeans, a T-Shirt that could fit me and you at the same time, and my camo vans. I threw the stuff on and flew down the stairs. My backpack and keys were sitting on the table by the door. I threw the backpack (also black) (that rhymed!) on my shoulder and snagged my keys. Soon enough I was on my way to school. At the rate I was driving I was there in under 5 minutes but I still ended up being about 10 minutes late.

I pulled the small crumpled paper out of my pocket. There as a jumble of information on it but most importantly my classes. My first class was room 65, biology with Mrs. Karr. While I was staring at the paper I had found the classes 60-70. I walked to a door with a fat black 65 above the door. "I guess this is it…." I muttered and opened the door. I expected to be interrupting a classroom full of seniors learning crap they wouldn't use the second they got out of the class. Oh no. Far from it, not another street far or even another planet far, Maybe another universe. There was a kid dancing on a desk, flying paper airplanes, a game of paper football, two guys who were all over each other. This caused me shudder a little but not much. When they realized I was standing there they stopped for about two seconds. Chaos and disorder reigned again. The teacher could be seen attempting to disrupt the calamity. She had no such luck. I sat in the nearest empty seat by a group of girls. (I later found their names to be Tifa, Yuffie, Paine, Rikku, and Yuna) They were defiantly a mixed bunch. Two seemed like complete preps. One looked like she would kill you at any given moment. Another rarely said anything. One was just kinda sitting there, seemingly deep in though and not really a happy thought. I was close enough to hear their conversation. "You speak lies!" Tifa said. "We do not! Look!" Rikku pointed a finger at the two guys. "You think they could get a room?" Paine asked turning away from the two a little. The two guys were apparently called by Cloud and Squall. They were making out like bandits. Is there no decency in this world any more? Paine had turned enough to notice me. "New kid." Was all she said. Rikku stopped mid sentence. "New kid? Where?" She looked around. "Right behind you…" Paine waved her hand in my general direction. I had zoned out by then and wasn't paying attention, just staring infront of me. My eyes were closed and I felt the pressure change. I half opened an eye to see what was going on. My eye fell upon a face far to close to mine. I jumped awake and almost fell out of my chair. "Hi!" Rikku was sitting on desk facing me… "Uhh…Hi?" I said, sitting upright and running a hand through my hair.

"Where are you from?"

"Germany."

"Never heard of it. How old are you?"

"17."

"Do you drive?"

"A black corvette Z06."

"And where-"

"Stop interrogating the new kid." Paine said dully after listening to Rikku ask random questions. "I'm not interrogating him! I am simply getting to know him." Rikku scoffed back at Paine. "Right…" Paine didn't bother to drag out the subject and I really couldn't blame her. It seemed like Rikku was the kind of person you got in shut up fights with and laughed your ass of after it and seconds later forgot what the hell was so funny. The awkward silence bothered me and was interrupted briefly by a feeble attempt to get the class to settle down. "Ya, I don't think she's ever going to shut this class up." I said. "Probably not." Yuna answered. "So who are all of you?" I wanted to know who I was talking to so I could possibly bother them at lunch. So they named off their names (I think it was in alphabetical order too….kinda scary…) and I tried to remember them but I am terrible with names. A random conversation about rabid squirrels, marshmallow chickens, and swords ensued. We seemed to talk for quite sometime without any disruption. A piercing sound shot through the room and stopped everyone in their…whatever they were doing. A ragged teacher was standing in front of the white board brandishing a bullhorn. "Now, all of you-" The bell signaling that the period was over rang. The classes poured into the halls completely clogging them. I waited a few seconds for the mass to surge away. Mrs. Karr was slumped in her chair with her head resting on arms. She appeared to be shaking slightly. It was hard to tell whether she was laughing or crying. I didn't stay to find out. I walked out the door to find Rikku waiting for me. "I figured I'd wait and show you where your classes were." She said cheerily. You couldn't help but smile from the exuberance she radiated. Try as I might, the straight face I had melted into a sort of smile. "I have German 5 AP next." I checked my ruined paper again just to be sure. "Foreign languages are in that general direction." She pointed to another door that presumable led outside and to another set of class rooms. "Ok, thanks." I readjusted my backpack strap on my shoulder and headed off. I won't bore you with what happened in German and math.

To lunch! I exited math not fully comprehending where I was going. Running into a nearby wall solved that quickly enough. I shook my head and headed toward the quad.

I got there and found an empty table. I figured I'd sit on it…Why not. Apparently there is some unknown code of the teenager that states whose table is whose. How the hell am I supposed to know if I'm new and the code is unwritten. I was rudely uprooted and shooed away. I didn't really care, preps are scary anyway… I scanned the area for somewhere else to sit or stand. I was going to go to my next class and wait there but then I saw the chicks from earlier. I figured, why the hell not? I'll go bother them. "Hi." I said in a monotone as I parked on the edge of the bench. Paine sat across from me, Yuna to my left and Rikku diagonally to me. I got various forms of hi from them. Paine was wearing that really airy leather outfits that is all straps and buckles and leather and looks like its held together by air (maybe fishing twine, no one has gotten close enough to tell for sure.) Yuna was wearing a white shirt that looked like if she moved wrong everyone would be flashed and half a skirt (I don't see how that's physically possible but you know what I mean…) Rikku was wearing a bright ass yellow bikini and some short shorts (Green ones! Hahah attention to detail! That had no point….) that went with it. All of these were surprising because the school was said to have a 'very strict rule'…Then how do chicks get away with wearing bikinis, next to nothing, and leather straps to school? Anyway, getting off track. Back to the point. There was just something about Rikku that attracted my eye…Not that you pervert…Now you think I'm the pervert…Bite me…On second though, don't…I don't know where you've been. I just sat and let my eyes take everything in. Consequently shutting off my ears and other normal functions. "You know it's rude to stare." Paine stated plainly. "Oh...uh..." Quick think of something! I thought to myself. "There is a fight right over there…" I promptly covered my tracks. "Who is it?" Rikku turned to see the fight. "Looks like…Squall and Cloud…They aren't fighting…Have they no decency?" Yuna informed the rest of us. "How can you tell who it is from this far away?" I squinted and still couldn't tell who the hell it was or what the hell they were doing. "Their hair." Yuna said. Then the bell rang. "Woho! I get to go sleep! Toodles!" I grabbed my stuff and headed off to my next class. After walking about a hundred feet. 'Damnit! What straight guy says toodles? Now look what you've done. You've bloody blown your cover! Wait a second…No you haven't! What is this?' I actually had P.E. this period so I could set my brain off and run. On the door to the boy's locker room was a large poster proclaiming how you needed to join the Blitz Ball team. If you didn't serious harm or even death may come to you. Tryouts were, hey how convenient, this period. I noted the location and jogged off to it. When I arrived there was about 10 other guys there. All of them were wearing either yellow shorts or pants and nothing else. They were all lined up and a coach appeared to be telling them something. He stopped mid sentence. "New kid! You here for the tryouts?" A gruff voice yelled at me. "Yep." I said as I threw my stuff in a pile on the damp grass. "You think you can play Blitz Ball and not be killed? Look at you. You're half the size of our smallest player." He insulted me. I wasn't sure why but I took no offence and retaliated "That may be true but size doesn't always matter." A smug smile crossed me face. "Ya well…" He began when a ball came flying at me. I was able to kick it out of its path toward me. It was rerouted into the guy who threw it. "Speed does…" He ended. "So it would seem." I said. "So you can kick a ball. That doesn't tell me anything." And so the coach gave some pretty tough crap I had to do while everyone else pretty much sat and watched. I left the period felling quite exhausted. I had two of my hardest classes next and muddled my way through them. Tomorrow I would know if I made the team or not…

When I got home I didn't even think about doing my homework. I threw my backpack (it gets thrown a lot…) on the ground and the couch stopped it from traveling into the wall. I grabbed my guitar which was sitting on the table and plugged it into the PS2. I rocked the house. I ended up playing Guitar Hero from 3:30 – 7:30. Four hours of nothing but awesome rock. When I realized what time it was I took a shower and went to bed. Another day was gone.

AN: Took me a while to update…Blah…Nonetheless If you are still bored…Well, I suppose I can do something about that. Only a chapter or two before the good stuff starts happening. Those should come a little quicker. Don't forget to read and review! I like to know what people who are reading my story think and all the good stuff. Until the next chapter! That One Ninja
