Chapter 37: Another Wednesday.
Wednesday
"Aren't I good, or aren't I good?" Yuffie boasts as she explains the story about hooking Shera and Cid up.
I was most intrigued to discover Yuffie showing some initiative for somebody other than herself, and it was nice to know she thought of Shera.
Shera rolls her eyes.
"Don't let her give you that illusion. I had a lot to do on my own. Yuffie here, cunned me. Little stinker" she narrows her eyes at Yuffie.
Yuffie bursts out laughing.
"That was great. I mean, imagine this if you will Tif – Shera got shy. She was blushing and stuttering and like – Oh Cid-sama… and yet she calls me the looney. Like hello, looney to my left" she giggles.
I laugh. I can't imagine Shera being gugu-gaga eyes for any guy, but the image itself is comical to imagine.
"Well there's always a first time for everything" I giggled.
"Not funny" she points out.
"So what did you guys talk about?" I paused, noticing the red blush on her face.
Yuffie leans in.
"Man, I've missed so much in the space of two days." I shake my head.
"Well" she smiles, looking down.
"See, this is what I mean. She goes all goofy" Yuffie points out.
"Oh shush" she teases.
I laugh at the pair.
"Well, we did some talking about school and exams, and heck Cid really insisted he needed help with his Advance English so I volunteered to help out, and in return he'd buy me lunch" she giggles.
"Aww" I was so happy for her.
"Lunch? That's it?" Yuffie arches a broke, "is he that brokes?" Yuffie asks
Shera twitches, "not everybody starts like you and Vincent with the jaw locking and dog drooling in public you know." She informs flatly.
I laugh.
"We do not dog drool in public…" Yuffie points out. "Do we?" she stops to think about it
I nod. Yeah, technically she does.
Shera sighs, "anyways, it was really nice because yesterday I tutored him for the first time, and he's so shy answering questions. Gosh it's so cute" she giggles, "he started to blush when I began making small notes in his book. He told me I had a pretty handwriting. Oh my gosh…" she goes hysterical.
I smile. Damn, seeing Shera so happy over a guy makes me feel so happy that we're all moving up. Getting potential boyfriends, becoming stronger as friends and the flow of life seems almost, perfect now.
"Then we had lunch at Bluebell Café on the street, and it was wonderful. A couple of Cid's friends came over and he introduced me, as his sensei. One guy even said, isn't it wrong for your sensei to be that cute. Cid blushes and pushes him away. Oh Tif… it was wonderful. He even bought me an ice-cream and we just had the most incredible time. I really enjoyed it" she nods
"Sounds fantastic Sher. I'm so happy for you." I give her hand a small squeeze.
"Thanks." She stops, "you know it would be kind of fun, if sometime, when we all 'hook up' we could do a triple date? It could be fun" she looks at us.
I sighed, giving a smile…
"What?" Shera asks noticing my sigh…
"Well. I mean, nothing's official. Sephiroth and I aren't… you know – a couple. I think maybe, when and if things do become more official… there's a chance it could happen" I smile softly, trying not to hurt her feelings.
"Oh boy Tif. You and this Sephiroth 'cry-me-a-river' story. Don't you see, Sephiroth likes you. Gosh, I swear you enjoy torturing the poor guy" she confesses.
I pouted, "No." I pause, "not too much" I blinked back innocently.
"Sephiroth likes you Tifa. It's not some simple stupid liking thing, I talking he likes-likes you. He really likes you." Yuffie informs, "I'm sure this Friday, at the rock competition, if Sephiroth doesn't flip and die when he sees you, he'll totally confess he likes you. Heck I'll even bet on that" she says matter-of-flatly.
"You really think so?" I asked
"Definitely. This Friday, he's gonna tell you he likes you. No doubt in my mind." Yuffie replies confidently.
"Alright. This Friday. We'll see" I smiled.
"I wish it would happen" Shera sighs, blowing a couple of her bangs out her eyes…
I arch a brow, "why is that?"
"Really? Must you ask?" Shera shakes her head.
I sigh. No, I knew the reason.
"Oye, look over there" Yuffie points in the distance.
There in the distance, coming through the entry gates, checking in with security were buses and buses of students. At first it didn't hit me who where the new people on the buses, but then when a single bus got the clearance to enter the compound and the door opened, guys dressed in black, came out with their guitars and drums and microphones and it hits me. These were the contestants for the rock competition. As each bus got the clearance, they would line their gear up to the sides, utilizing Tokyo's large track field.
Apparently there were lots of guys participating in this competition. As usual they couldn't help themselves to horsing around – jumping around, heckling the occasional Tokyo girl and being noisy.
"Shera… aren't you a host of our school?" I asked realizing why was she here, and not there?
"Opps. You're right" she grimaces, "come help me" she begins to pull my arm, "you too squirt" she pulls at Yuffie.
"Noo!" I whine, "the last time I helped out, I nearly got…" I shuddered, "grossed out"
She laughs, "you and your shyness" she shakes her head, "coming Yuf?"
"Hell yeah" she perks up and they both abandon me to aid 'guys.'
I watch the pair, and I see firsthand exactly how perverted guys are. They were scrutinizing poor Shera and Yuffie from head to toe. One of them was chatting Shera up. Yuffie was much too happy to oblige in their flirtation.
Other buses got the clearance and students kept pouring in. In this one bus, girls came out and perhaps they were the students who volunteered to support their respective schools, most of which are probably girlfriends to the rock participants.
I was so absorbed in the scene before me, I wasn't aware of the person walking up to me. Taking a seat next to me, curtly, I jumped noticing it was none other than Sephiroth.
"Hello" I smile at him.
"Hey" he curtly replies.
"Haven't seen you around lately" I leaned forward, noticing his eyes on the buses.
He says nothing.
"Looking for someone?" I ask interested.
He turns to me seriously, "just hoping a lil dick didn't come to Tokyo"
I blinked, completely stunned at his words.
He seems unnaturally on edge. He's usually reserved and sometimes, even cold to break down, but this Sephiroth reminds me a lot of the serious one. Whoever this 'guy' was, he sure seem to make Sephiroth irate.
"Old school nemesis?" I questioned.
He shakes his head, "I'm sorry" he lightly touches his brows.
I spared an uneasy smile.
"So, why aren't over there helping your friends?" he asks…
I turn to the girls, "oh… because every time I help I get heckled and honestly, that scares me. Guys like that usually scare me" I confessed.
"Maybe it's because…" he smirks, "you're attractive" his eyes catches mine.
Immediately my cheeks flame. I nervously look down.
"But I agree with you." He sorts his voice, "some of those guys could be real jerks. Be careful" he informs.
"I know" I smile…
Sephiroth looks down, "so I have something for you" he starts..
"Oh?" my face brightens up
"Here" he hands me a small yellow envelope. I open it to find… a pass. It was the official rock competition V.I.P pass. His name Sephiroth Crescent was imprinted on it.
"Is this for me? Because there's your name on it" I explained.
"Yeah, I spoke to a couple officials about the pass, so chances are, if you wear it, they'll allow you access under the condition I'm present with you" he informs.
"Ohh, I see. So that means I have to find you at the rock competition?" I asked…
"Chances are, I'll find you. What time are you planning to come?" he asks…
"Hmm, chances are around 7…" I pause, "perhaps I could meet you down at the beach. Before the check in"
"Sounds great." He pauses to yawn.
"You look tired…" I said…
He smirks.
"Yeah, I am." He nods.
"Tomorrow, I plan on taking the day off." He adds
"Oh, how come? Gonna practice?" I asked.
"No. I'm planning to sleep. I practiced so much for this week, and now I think it's time for me to relax and sleep. Haven't slept in two days" he informs.
"Alright then. Well… happy sleep time" I smiled.
"Thanks. Well Lockhart, I'm off." He stands to his feet, "Gonna catch some lunch and head out. Ja ne (bye)" he nods.
I wave at him, "bye"
