Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII; Square Enix does. If I did… well, let's just say I think Cloud's prettier than the FF7 girls…

I'm Sixteen in my Head
26. Stupid Job
I'm not sure how, but ever person in Edge seems to have my phone number… It's four in the morning and my phone has managed to vibrate its way off my dresser and under my bed… Can't I just get some 'me time'?
… If I was Yuffie, I'd just ninja-chop the thing into a million pieces… Tifa would just answer it… Barret at least turns it off at night… Reeve'd ignore it and call back later… Vincent has enough sense to not own one… And Cid? Who's stupid enough to call him?
"Grr… Just hang up already…"
"What if it's important?"
It's never important.
"Cloud, how can you say such a thing?"
"Fine…" I lean over the side of my bed, my feet hooking on the opposite side. My hand reaches through the darkness, fingers tapping wood. Where is that—"Got it!"
I pull myself up, not flipping the phone open. I lean back against my pillow, preparing myself for whomever it is that's decided to call at some ungodly hour.
… And the vibrating stops…
"I hate everyone."
"CLOUD, IT'S FOR YOU!"
Whoever it is better have a good reason to wake me up… I kick the covers off, and trek down the stairs. "Who is it?"
Tifa shrugs and passes the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, ma Boy!" I AM NOT A CHILD, DAMNIT. "Can you pick up some rope when you bring my groceries over? Thanks. Bye." Click.
Great, more of my free time gone… I look out the front window. The sunlight filters brightly inside. "I'll be back soon." I walk towards the front door, a vicious scowl distorting my face.
"Um, Cloud?"
I pause, my hand on the doorknob. I look over my shoulder at a very red Tifa. "Yeah?"
Barely a whisper, she replies, "… You're not wearing any pants…"
I look down. Choco-boxers…
I really hate everyone.
… If you'd like, please take the time to tell me what you think of this.
…. I want to write something for Halloween, but I don't know what…
