AUTHORS NOTES: Hello! so, before this starts, keep in mind that I am a girl, and I do reserve rights to make crewed time of the month jokes a little bit...since Cloud is sort of an insensitive guy in an all girls circle of friends.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own final fantasy seven, I just write fan fictions about it because I'm a loser with no life...YAAAAY
"I still want to know who it is exactly!" Cloud said as he and Aeris walked to the tree under which they sat. For once he wasn't on edge with annoyance.
Aeris and Cloud had spent the rest of the morning goofing off on the roof; so much for getting through the rest of the day without missing class.
"No, it doesn't matter, please don't persist Cloud!" Aeris said softly.
The blonde boy was about to persist when a short black haired streak whizzed by, somehow grabbing Clouds arm and dragging him with it. From what Cloud could see as he was violently thrashed to the ground Tifa had come to escort Aeris the rest of the way to the tree. That could only mean one thing; a very mad Yuffie.
He was correct when the boy regained control over his eye's what stared back at him was the most terrifying, horrible, grotesque thing imaginable; The sophomores dark side.
"Don't you dare go into this further Cloud! Aeris has been trying to get the courage to do what she did for years and she's really, really depressed!" Her words were acidic and the boy was sure that there was a better way to inform him of this but he got the point.
There was no way that Cloud was going to take that tone lying down, so he stood up and rubbed his head. "Geese Yuffie, what is it your cousin TOM come for a visit or what? How violent can you be?"
Yuffie, became quite red at this and huffed. "I'm not being violent, I just severely-placed-you-on-the-ground is all."
Cloud let out a grim laugh at her wording before stupidly placing an arm over her shoulder. "So how is cousin TOM?"
That is where the boy's stupidity was obvious, it gave the girl an easier reach to his stomach. As Cloud keeled over in temporary pain he was glad that he had put his lunch down already.

The rest of the day was a breeze for Cloud, he was in a fairly good mood for once and Sephiroth had skipped the second half of the day. Upon entering his severely duck taped room the boy felt the need to describe it in great detail.
So his next course of action was to get the fluffy pink thing that was wedged in between his bed and the wall.
Hmm, my dorm has turned silver; there is duck tape all over the place, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls, literally everywhere. Oh and there are things on it as well, like nerds, I think there's a hairbrush somewhere in this silver mess to…oh yeah, its above Sephiroth's bed, I remember. Ah and a few other miscellaneous things, like cat hair, and chest hair…hair of all kinds.
But enough of that today was a good day, Sephiroth got gunk poured over him and I didn't see him for the rest of the day.
At that moment the door creaked open and Cloud quickly stuffed the book between the bedposts as it was before and awkwardly tried to look natural. It didn't work.
"Doing Yoga?" The silver mess asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"Channeling the underworld." Was Cloud's snide reply.
"To who, An extortionist?" Sephiroth said before disappearing through the bathroom door.
After a moment of silence the sound of soft running water came into existence and Cloud couldn't help smirking.
While the water ran and a whistling emitted from the bathroom the silent boy's smirk grew bigger and bigger until the water stopped.
For a moment it was silent and then the door slammed open and a towel clad Sephiroth came from the steam, his body was blue. Although, the most disturbing thing about this new sight was his hair.
The once silver locks were a flamboyant pink color now. The boy looked mad and disoriented all at the same time.
"Oh wow Sephiroth! Your hair is absolutely GORGOUS!" The boy said with over exaggerated enthusiasm as he got up from the bed and crossed the room to the boy as he pushed his slightly stunned rival out the door. "You simply MUST show it to everyone!" With that the door was slammed in the fuming one's face and Cloud retreated to his bed satisfied with his work.
"Hair die does wonders."
That night Cloud fell asleep to the incessant pounding on the door from his most likely mortified room mate. He woke up to another incessant noise, the beeping of his watch, far, far too early in the morning.
One Thirty A.M was not a very nice time in the morning, especially on a Saturday. Cloud came to realize this as he took a half hour to get dressed and looking slightly presentable. He realized that an hour later, he was more tired than when he had first gotten up. "I will kill Cid for this…"
0.00.0.00.0
Cid slept in his office, not many people knew why, but since the man was in the same neighborhood as Cloud and the rest, they heard a lot of one sided fights coming from their house. Anyone in their neighborhood would swear that Cid's marriage was on its way down, though he swore that it was all ups. Either way Cid's continuously unseen wife was about to become a widow.
"Cid!" A door slammed open with a loud sound that resembled an explosion and the blonde man snorted in a confused manner and lifted his very dark goggles from his face.
"Wha' are you doin' here?" The man said through squinted eyes.
"If you don't remember I'm going back to bed." The blonde turned but felt a hand on his back and a cold hard object at his throat.
"And yet you'll stay!" Cid said with an evil smirk from behind him, now fully awake.
Cloud turned around, now fully ready to slug his teacher into unconsciousness, only to feel something round and hollow on the back of his head.
"Here to help me…" there was a clicking sound at the back of the boys head as Cid continued. "Professor Valentine!"
So, being fully threatened by two weapons on both sides of him, Cloud surrendered. Briefly he wondered if this was grounds to be fired, then remembered that the principal herself wasn't entirely….Normal.
So, cursing bitterly all the way the blonde boy was forced to run…and run…and run around the out door track, when it was barely light outside, and the leaves were beginning to turn.
A panting boy's knee's hit the pavement at the feet of two teachers, who were having a grand old time. Or at least that's how Cid looked, no one could ever tell with Valentine.
Kneeling, Cid's smiling voice darkened Clouds view. "Now, what are we going to do about you and Sephiroth, hmm?"
"Nothing." Cloud said gruffly pushing the older man's face backwards and switching balance so he was crouching.
"Wrong answer." Valentine found correct to say before appearing with his gun at Cloud's head. "Run."
"I ca-" A misfire to the right of Cloud and the physically drained student was off again.
"I HOPE YOUR ENJOYING THIS!! BECAUSE WHEN I'M DONE HERE YOU TWO ARE DEAD, YOU HEAR ME?! DEAD!!!" Cloud had those sentences on repeat as he found Cid following him, seemingly trying to squire him every time the boy slowed.
Finally, Cid let him rest after his legs gave out and was no longer fearing the misfiring teacher in red. Once again the all too happy teacher with a pole bent over his face.
"Now really, do we have to go through this, again and again until you two start acting like friends?" Cid asked, with unreal concern in his face.
"No, you could just move us apart right now, we could ignore each other and all this mess would be over. Doesn't that sound like a wonderful plan?"
"Not to your parents." Vincent said glaring down at him with tired eyes.
"I refuse to get along with that guy!"
"We have more and more creative ways. The more you resist the more brain power we use." It was Cid's turn to speak.
"Like what?" Fear pulsed through the boy at the prospect of Cid's imagination, but the teacher merely laughed and helped the boy up.
"Now, to fix the fence behind the school that you two broke in last Tuesday's escapade to rid the world of all wood workings in our Chocobo farm!"
So Cloud was put to work in the Chocobo farm behind the school. Since it was a last minute engagement the Chocobo were not cleared out, and the nasty things that had a habit of trying to communicate with Clouds hairdo were still there. Cloud was not the happiest person in the world.
"I hate you both, I hate you both, I hate you both." Was the chant from four thirty, to five thirty, as he got done with the fence.
From five thirty to six thirty, he was swearing revenge on their blasted souls as he cleaned up a large hole in the third story art room's wall. That was from a fight that took place in art class, part of it was also a slew of paints being thrown around the room. Luckily though, their art teacher took it as a form of free expression…until they broke through the wall and made a nice big window in her room.
Six thirty to Seven thirty he was stapling mats back to the ground in the wrestling room. The day they did a segment on the wrestling team when Sephiroth got the lovely idea to pull up a matt and try to burry Cloud with it.
"Why am I patching up everything Sephiroth started!?" He finally reveled to ask.
"Because he fixed all of your screw ups the last time he had detention." Vincent said with a glare towards Cid this time. Apparently this was the second time he'd been gotten up on a Saturday to help discipline an idiot.
Technically, Cloud's punishment was over at seven thirty, and he was just about to leave when Cid suddenly caught him by the elbow. "What? I'm done!!" the boy said with an exasperated desperation.
"I need help!!"
