Sora sat down at the lunch table with Selphie, Tidus, Wakka, and Kairi.
"Hey Sora, Where's Riku?" Kairi asked.
"He said that he went to pick up Ichigo," Sora said just before biting into his sandwich. Suddenly Tidus stood up, waved wildly, and then sat back down. Selphie looked at Tidus and cocked one eyebrow up.
"What was that for?"
"I was calling someone over."
"Who?" Kairi asked.
"You'll see," Tidus said with a smirk. In a few minutes Namine walked up to the table.
"Umm…hello," Namine said with a weak smile. Sora looked at Namine and smiled.
"Hey Namine," Sora said as he moved over so she could sit down.
"Hey Sora," Namine said as she sat down.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Wait a minute, Sora you know Namine?" Sora looked at Tidus.
"Yea dude, she's in my first period class with me and Ichigo."
"Speaking of Ichigo, she and Riku haven't come back yet," Selphie said concerned.
"Did something happen to them?" Namine asked.
"They had a fight this morning and Riku went to find her and work things out."
"Then we should let them be," stated Wakka. Everyone at the table nodded in agreement and continued with their lunch. When the bell rang, everyone split up and headed off to their 6th period class. Sora, Tidus, and Ichigo were in the same class. When Sora and Tidus got into the room, they didn't see Ichigo. Sora felt a bit worry. He didn't see her or Riku during lunch and now Ichigo wasn't in class.
"Hey, don't worry. She could be late. Let's sit down," Tidus said. Sora nodded and he and Tidus took their seats. When the late bell rang, the class starting getting a bit worried because their teacher wasn't there. Suddenly the principle and Cloud walked into the room and stood at the front.
"Good Afternoon students."
"Good afternoon principle Braska."
"I am here to inform you all the due to Mr. Gaurdo had to leave the rest of the school year due to a family incident. I would like you to meet your new teacher Miss Tifa Lockhart." A woman with brown hair and eyes walked in. She bowed slightly and smiled at the students.
"I will be your new math teacher. It's nice to meet you all." When Sora saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. 'She looks so familiar, but where have I seen her before.' Cloud stepped next to Braska and whispered something in his ear.
"Hmmm, oh yes. Sora, I need you to report to my office after this class." Everyone turned to face Sora, which caused him to blush.
"He's not in trouble so face the front now," Cloud said sternly. Tifa giggled and punched Cloud lightly in arm.
"Cloud, stop scaring my student."
"Ok Miss Lockhart I will leave you to teach your class."
"Good day Principle Braska." Braska and Cloud walked out of the room and Tifa began teaching. Sora felt his eyes growing heavy as she talked and before he knew it, it was fast asleep.
"Sora, wake up."
"Hmm?" Sora lifted his head up and opened his eyes. He saw that everyone in the class was gone. He looked up and saw Tifa standing over him.
"Miss Lockhart! I'm so sorry for falling asleep in class. I swear it will never happen again." Tifa smiled softly and ruffled his hair.
"I will hold you to that. Now, you better get going to the office so you don't get in real trouble."
"Yes, I will." Sora quickly got his things together and ran to principle office. When he got to the office, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." Sora opened the door and saw the principle sitting at his desk with Cloud on the right of the desk and Auron sitting in a chair in the left corner.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Yes Sora, please take a seat." Sora sat down slowly in the chair in front of the desk.
"Am I in trouble?"
"No, but Ichigo might be," Cloud said. Sora looked up at Cloud.
"Ichigo? Did she do something?"
"Miss Ichigo was attack by the gang Club 13," Braska stated calmly.
"Oh my god, is she ok? Where is she?"
"She is fine. She received a few cuts but she is fine. Riku have taken her home." Sora let up a sigh of relief.
"Sora, I doubt that Miss Ichigo will be in school for awhile, so Mr. Strife took the leisure of getting her, Riku, and your homework until Monday."
"Wait, why me?"
"Sora, Ichigo is going to want her closet friends with her. That means both Riku and you." Sora nodded and stood up. Cloud handed him a stack of handouts.
"Thank you. I will give this the Ichigo and Riku as soon as I can."
"Ok Sora, please take care." Sora bowed slightly and walked out the office. He decided that he would head over to Riku's house because he didn't have any more classes for the day. Sora walked out the school and saw a black foreign car parked in front of the school. Sora knew that the car belong to Sephiroth. He walked over the car and the window rolled down.
"Why hello there Sora."
"Hello Mr. Sephiroth. What are you doing here?"
"I was waiting for my little girl to finish school so I could give her a ride."
"Oh, but she isn't in school."
"Oh? Did she get out early?"
"Umm…no. She…umm"
"Sora!" Sora turned around and saw Cloud walking up to him. He looked at Sephiroth and they both glared at each other.
"Cloud."
"Sephiroth."
"Where's my daughter?"
"Sora, could you wait by the front gate?"
"Umm…ok." Sora walked back to front gate and watched Cloud explain what happened.
"Sora! Get in the car!" Sephiroth yelled. Sora quickly run to the car and got in. Before he could put his seatbelt on go, Sephiroth started speeding towards the house.
