Chapter X: The Troubles of being a Girl

We basically ended the erm, topic with that, and got the current events done. The class ended, and Rufus, Rude and I (along with Genesis and the others in the bookbag) were the first ones out of the classroom. We walked up the nearest stairs, (excuse me. I meant to say I was carried up the stairs yet again) to the Orchestra room, which is the same as the Band room. It was so boring; I don't even want to explain anything. Mr. Argo had not gotten back yet, so I was stuck with explaining to an almost deaf Mr. Chalko. Needless to say, a lot of people questioned me again. Sighs. Why are all the questions the same every single time? I had a Biology test in 12th period with Genesis sitting on my shoulder, behind my hair. Rufus and Rude went to the office to have a meeting with the Board of Education. I think his welcoming ceremony will be on Monday, so I guess I should let him sleep in Spencer's room so he can think everything through. After school, I waited in front of the office for Rufus and Rude, with my bookbag.
I waited for about 3mins before they came out.
The door opened and out came twenty or so men and women that I've never seen before. At the end was Rufus and Rude. I ran to meet them.
"Rufus! Rude! How was the meeting?" I asked, walking in stride with them. My hands were behind my head casually and Genesis was leaning against my neck. We all walked down the hallway while I waited for my answer from Rufus.
When we got to the stairs, I was carried by Rude again… But Rufus started talking so I didn't make a noise. "The board has voted that I be more alert than the last principal. They've also agreed to let me redo the staff of the 9th grade or to 'recommend' some student teachers. I've decided to check to see if our bank accounts were moved into this world from ours. If so, I plan to remodel the house so that all of us have a room." And somewhere in the depths of the bookbag, I could hear Zack, Cloud, Reno, and Kadaj's gang cheering.
We walked the rest of the way to my locker in silence. But one thing that I didn't anticipate was Benton to be waiting for me by my locker. I rounded the corner and as soon as I saw Mezzo, I jumped behind Rude and whispered, "Hide me!"
Rude merely grunted and kept walking forward. "Why are you hiding?" asked Rufus.
I looked at him, "The guy over there." I said pointing.
Rufus and Rude looked confused, and Genesis made a confused grunt.
"Why, Maigen? He doesn't seem like much of a threat." Evaluated Genesis.
"He's a friend of mine that has a crush on me. It's getting kind of creepy. I mean, just because my mom invited him into our house for some soup, because he walked me home, doesn't mean he has the right to ask to come over my house EVERY SINGLE DAY!" I exclaimed in exasperation. I heard my bookbag zip open and turned to see Sephiroth, Nero, and Kadaj on my right shoulder with Genesis and Zack, Cloud, Weiss, and Reno on my left shoulder. "What are you guys doing on my shoulders? I thought only Genesis was supposed to be on my shoulder!"
Weiss tugged on a piece of my hair, causing me to wince, "Relax. You're considered one of the smartest in the school right? So just pretend we're tiny robots that you made. But we have a mind of our own."
I looked at him skeptically. "But what'll I do when some random woman comes out of nowhere and tries to take you?"
Kadaj took out Souba, "Then we'll just make them release us."
I glared at him, "No. You can't harm anyone in this world." Kadaj shrank back. "Anywho, why are you guys out of the bag?" I could just feel people staring.
"We're out because the bookbag was getting cramped and we wanted to help you with your pest problem." Stated Nero.
I scratched my head, "I wouldn't consider Mezzo a pest but thanks guys."
I grabbed Rufus and Rude's hands and led them over to the locker. I opened it and avoided Mezzo's gaze. I took my jacket out and handed it to Rude, who gave me my books, and I put the books away. I took out my Latin textbook and put it into my bag without squishing anyone. I stood up and closed the locker. I had the chibis on my shoulder hang onto my hair as I put on my jacket and locked my locker.
As soon as I had turned, Mezzo was in front of me, "Oh, hi Maigen. It's nice to see you again. Where were you the past few weeks?" he asked.
I sighed and looked away, "I was away Mezzo, couldn't you tell?" I tried to walk away but he followed me, as did Rufus and Rude, who positioned themselves on either side of me.
Mezzo continued to walk in front of me, "Can I come over your house again- and who are these guys?" he asked pointing at Rufus and Rude.
Rufus glared and Rude stood sternly. I on the other hand, did not like how he was acting and Genesis, Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack probably thought the same, as them popped their heads out of my head, and we all said, "It's very rude to point you know."
Mezzo stepped back and err screamed like a little girl. (No he really does sound like a girl when he screams. And he runs like one too. Sucks for him huh? I mean he only has sisters. XP) "OMG! Why are talking Final Fantasy VII characters on your shoulders and why do those two look like Dufus Shinra and Rude?" He made to grab Cloud and Zack, but I smacked his hands away from my shoulder bound friends. (Hey, I don't like being touched without my consent and Benton was too close for comfort right now. And no one, I repeat no one, manhandles my friends! DX)
"Don't touch my chibis, Mezzo." I hissed, "And Rufus Shinra, my godfather, just became our new principal. So if I were you, I'd watch what you say to him."
Mezzo huffed, "Fine, but can I go over to your house?"
We were all in the parking lot now and Rude went ahead to start the car, "No, Mezzo." I answered simply.
"But why?" he questioned. (Annoying right?)
Weiss came out of my hair, "Look kid, if she ways no, it's no. Don't question her or you'll have to answer to me. You got it?" I could tell he didn't say it for my sake, but for his and Nero's own minds.
Mezzo scoffed, "Look how small you are, you can't beat me, even if you tried."
I shook my head, as did the other chibis. Rufus sighed, "Stupid kid."
Weiss looked to me, "Shall I?"
I glanced at him, "Just scare him a little bit."
Weiss hopped off my shoulder and grew to full size. I barely reached his shoulder and I was 5 ft so you know he's tall. "What did you say about me? Kid." Weiss bellowed. Everyone around us stopped to stare.
Mezzo's eyes widened and he gulped, "I-I was b-bluffing."
Weiss narrowed his eyes and grabbed my arm, "Come on kid, let's go."
I looked back at Mezzo, who was about to pee his pants and gave him a smile that said 'Sorry, but I did tell you so.' And looked back at Weiss and Rufus, "Yeah, let's go home." I got into the car with Weiss, Rufus, and Rude. Rude was driving, Rufus was sitting shotgun and I was in the back with the other chibis and Weiss.
The car was 'silent', but as soon as we parked the car, everything went KA-BOOM! I ran into the house, dropped my bookbag gently on the floor so that the chibis can get out, screamed bloody murder as Weiss tried to strangle me, and ran into my room. I locked the door and escaped the house. There was a large commotion downstairs.
