Cloud continued to 220 with anger in his eyes. No one noticed his glare,
and he was glad. He felt someone rub against him and turned back to see a
girl dashing away from him quickly with something in her hand. Not
thinking much of it, he finally finds 220 and it has an energy drink
machine next to it. /I could really use a drink now/. Cloud reaches into
his back pocket for his wallet, but it's empty. He knew he put it there
this morning.THAT GIRL! /That girl who rubbed against me must have stolen
my wallet!/ Without thinking twice about it he dashed back down the hall
after the girl.
"Slo' da &^*$ do'n, Strife!" Wallace called after him as Cloud dashed by, but Cloud ignored him.
He found the girl talking to some boys in a big circle, with her in the middle. She was holding out Cloud's wallet for them to see. The boys saw Cloud and dashed away, but the girl just looked confused as her friends ran off. Cloud swiftly grabbed his wallet from her without giving her time to defend it.
"Why the hell did you steal this from me?" Cloud ordered at girl who backed away from him into the lockers in shock of herself being caught.
"I won't do it again! I promise!" the girl replied.
"You better not," Cloud gave her a glare before walking back toward 220.
"WAIT!" the girl called to him. She ran up next to him but he kept walking. She walked with him. "You don't even know my name yet!" Cloud didn't say anything. "My name is Yuffie," she told him, "I'm in 220 next period, what about you?"
"Yeah, I'm in 220," Cloud mumbled.
They passed Wallace again and he yelled, "See! There are more girls than Tifa!" but Cloud ignored him yet again. Yuffie, however, couldn't help but notice.
"Tifa Lockheart, huh?" she said, "You like her?"
"We grew up together," Cloud said, "Nothing more."
"She's a prep, I don't like her type," Yuffie said, "So, math next, great."
Cloud grunted. They got to 220 and Cloud put a dollar in the machine. He pushed a button, but nothing happened. He pushed it again.still nothing. He tried the return change and still nothing. So he did the first thing he could think of: he kicked the machine as hard as he could.
A teacher walked by and gave him 'the look' and said sternly, "Don't kick the machine." She didn't have to raise her voice to let him know that she was going to keep her eye on him from now on. He watched her walk away before turning back to the grinning Yuffie.
"Watch carefully," Yuffie told him. She reached into the can retriever and pulled out a can of energy drink and a dollar.
"How did you-"
"It was nothing," she said smoothly and handed her both the can and the dollar. /I still don't trust her./ He followed her into the class. Yuffie ran immediately to some friends on the other side of the classroom. Cloud sighed. It wasn't that he wanted to sit with Yuffie, but more that he didn't want to sit alone.
He sat in the back row. There were too many desks for the class size so there was only one other person in the back row with him. The teacher started attendance. Cloud glanced at the other person in the row. First thing he noticed was a scar between his eyes. He was wearing a coat with fur around the neck, a white shirt, and about four belts. /He must be really worried his pants will fall down with all those belts./ The boy turned and looked at Cloud so Cloud quickly looked away. /Maybe that guy's looking at me!/ Cloud took another glance. In just that glimpse the boy didn't have enough time to turn away.
"What you looking at!" Cloud whispered to him.
"What do you mean?" the boy asked, "I was thinking the same about you."
They glared at each other a second and then turned back to the teacher. Cloud sighed. The teacher finished attendance and started to explain the dynamics of some number, but both Cloud and the boy weren't paying attention. Suddenly a note fell out of what seemed of nowhere on to his desk. Cloud picks it up and unfolds it. It says in neat handwriting:
I'm Squall Leonheart. Now leave me alone.
Cloud crumbled it up and pushed it on to the floor. He didn't even try glancing at Squall again. He watched the clock all period. Finally it was time for passing. Walking slowly down the hall to his next class, he decided to stop at his locker.
"Look at this guy!" some preppy kid exclaimed.
Cloud turned around to see a preppy kid with a pack of preps behind him. They were all looking at him. /Why do they travel in packs?/
"All purple," the prep continued, "Don't you know red is the new purple?"
Cloud rolled his eyes. He didn't pay attention to them laugh as he walked away. He had to go to 304. /That's upstairs from 220/ He walked upstairs away from the crowd. When he got upstairs, Squall was there leaning against the wall.
"Hi Squall," Cloud said. It wasn't that he wanted to talk to him. More that he wanted a reaction. He didn't feel like talking. Red is the new purple.whatever. "It's Leon, not Squall," Squall said without even looking up.
"Ohh.uh.okay," Cloud said. He wasn't expecting to get a response. But he would hate if someone only said one thing to him, so he added: "I'm Cloud."
"Cloud." Squall repeated, "Weren't you-"
"NO!" Cloud interrupted. /How did Squall know about SOLIDER?/ Cloud knew that by the look on Squall's face that he didn't know about Cloud and SOLIDER. Cloud shook it off and said, "Sorry.so why are you Leon and not Squall?"
"Because I have new priorities," Squall said.
"So.do I call you Squall or Leon?" Cloud asked.
"Leon. And don't forget it," Squall said and walked down the stairs.
/New priorities.Maybe I should go by Stri. Nah./
