Good morning, all you sleeping residents of Bayville! It's now 5 after the hour of six, Good time to hang out with your friends at the mall or WORK OUT THAT LITTLE BODY THAT'S HANGING OVER THE BED! GET UP, SARAH!"

I jolted awake, my arms flailing in the darkened air.

"Ow"
"Mrph, I wanna go back to sleeeeeeeeep....."

I fell back onto the waterbed, rolling over, Squall stared at me in defeat. He grabbed my bedsheets and the quilt off the bed, so I had no choice but to get up. I stalked into the bathroom dragging my clothes along with me. I took a shower and dressed in my altered school uniform which was now dyed black instead of being those ugly shades of gold and maroon. I totally ditched the preppy strap shoes for my combat boots, even though I was forbidden to wear them in school. DAMN THE DRESS CODE. I sauntered out of the bathroom and put up my hair in two messy buns, leaving some hair down which I would fix later.....when I felt like it.

"Let's go, Slowpoke, You gotta get something in your system!"
"Nope, I'll pass."
"WHAT? Child, You're starving yourself again? What happened now?"
"Nothing, and shut up, you sound like Colleen."
"Whatever.."

I tramped down the stairs, grabbing my books and my jacket, COMPLETELY ignoring my dad who always gave me money for lunch. Senior Year...HERE WE COME!

"Oh wow, We're taking the bus again?"

Colleen came up behind us at the bus stop.

"Yup, and I hope to GOD we don't get Amber as one of our teachers this year."

I shook my head as Squall added in,

"That'd be fucking weird..."
"Come on, You fucking yellow piece of vroom vroom metal!"

I yelled down the street at early commuters' cars.

"Do the Shakira dance! Do the Shakira dance!"
"I Don't have any mud, Idiot."

I hissed at Zell, who I playfully boxed with, almost slipping on the rained on tar.

"Not you Sarah, I wanna see Col all muddy and shaking her groove thing!"

He said making Col's hips sway with his hands, in which he got a firm slap in the face for.

"Do that again Chicken Wuss and next time you'll be unconcious..."
"Chicken Wuss? Isn't that what Seifer used to call you Zell?"
Squall asked adoriably puzzled.

"Yeah, but from her its a term of enderment Squall."

Zell smiled and hugged Col from behind, Col placed a delicate kiss on top of his spiky head.

"Yeah he knows I love him, but he also has to be reminded of his place!"

Laughter rung out from us just as the bus pulled up. One by one we boarded the yellow bus to the most unbareable form of cruel and unusal punishment known to man.
Public school....with uniforms!

The bus ride was pretty uneventful, best part is that DJ Sammy's "Heaven" was playing. I was scrunched up between this one girl and Squall. I was being bitched at by the other inhabitant of the seat about my boots.

"You know Goth, You can't wear those boots in school, you know."
"Kiss my ass, Prep. I can do what I want and I'm not a Goth!"
Squall turned around from his conversation with Zell.

"Do you need my Gunblade?"
"No, I want some pins, to stick in this girl's brain!"
"Oh good, because I left my gunblade in my old locker!"
"Oh great..."
"I know the combination though."

I shrugged, adverting my gaze to my footwear, boredly pulling at the buckles.

"Sarah, what in hell are you doing?"
"I'm bored..Shut the fuck up, Bethann."
"Ooh, touch-y..."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Colleen poked her head into the seat.

"Sawa, calm the hell down, CHILD."
"I'm not a child anymore! I'M A FUCKING SENIOR NOW!"
"Senior Citizen?"

I reached over, and smacked Zell in the face.

"Shut up."
"Damn Squall, How do do you handle her?"
"She's like me, We understand each other."

Zell rubbed the red spot on his face and I felt a little bad. He really didn't deserve it.

"Look, Zell, I'm sorry its all these preppy bitches making me go a lil' off the edge."
"It's okay Sawa, I understand but that really hurt.."

Col leaned over and kissed his red mark, surprisingly gentle.
"Feel better, Chicken Wuss?"

Okay forget the gentle part, oh well I'll never understand that releationship.

After we unloaded from the bus we walked casually to our home and low and behold who did we see...

"Sephiroth!!!?"

We all exclaim in utter shock.
"Wait! Your're twenty-one your not in High School! Oh my god! Are you our teacher!?"

Col screeched out at the top of her lungs, I'm pretty sure China heard her.

"No Colleen, I'm the teacher's aide. I don't have my degree yet, but your teacher will be here soon...I hope..."

As if on cue a familiar red head skidded into the door right before the bell rang. Unfournetely she couldn't stop and ran right into her desk.

"OW! SON OF A BITCH! THAT FUCKING HURT!"

Everyone in the the class went dead silent except us who tried desprately to hold in our laughter and not pee our pants.

Amber looked around the room and turned redder then her hair.

"Um...Hi class! Don't worry you'll get used to my occassional cursing. Let me introduce myself My name is Mrs. Charles and yatta yatta yatta...Now that the formalities are over everyone here call me Amber, otay?"

Amber glared over at Seph who had his hand over his mouth trying not to laugh and not suceeding.
"You didn't wake me up this morning Mister So-I-Blame-You-For-My-Lateness!"

She points to Seph and he kisses her finger tip

"Don't be mad my Little Angel, Besides you gotta take roll right now, Not yell at me!"

He grinned, as she continued through the roll.

"Mary Masters..."

"Here!"

"Justin Lorian."

"Here!"

She went on down the list until...

"Squall...OH MY GOD!! Squall you're in my class!"

Squall blushed and meekly replied, "Yes."

Amber scanned the room and finally noticed all of us sitting down, my face was hidden by a magazine, but I'm easy to identify by my skirt and boots.

"Oh my God! You're all here!! Wow this is great!"

I could tell that this school year was going to be just great.....NOT!

"Anyway back to roll call! umm...Kale Powers?"

After Homeroom we lingered a while to talk to Amber.

"So Amber, When in the world did you get your teaching degree??"

I asked, I mean all summer she had hung out with us. When did she find the time?

"I took online lessons, and I got my degree in the mail. I teach English but lucky for all of you I only teach freshman English."

I let go of the breath I had been holding, the only thing worse then having my spaztic friend for my homeroom teacher was having her for an actual class!

"Well get along you guys my class should be here soon and the bell is about the ring!"

She quickly wrote out passes for each of us so we can get to our lockers and shooed us out the door.

My boots tramped on the vinyl floor, growling lowly, The bus scene was pissing me off again.

"Right here, Bun Brunette..."

I blinked as Squall unlocked his locker, my eyes falling on his Gunblade.

"KICK MAJOR ASS!"

I jumped up and down, grabbing it, and fell over backwards when the fucking headmaster grabbed onto one of my buns.

"Young lady, this is the last year I'm going to say this. You can't wear those boots in my school! I'm going to expell you if I see them again."

I scoffed, and stood up, clinging to Squall's gunblade as the headmaster walked away.

"Kiss my ass.....fool..."
"What do you got next?"
"Fucking Basic Skills Math...."
"You got that AGAIN?"
"Yeah, I suck at math, you know that."

Squall patted my head, kissing my forehead.

"Now take my killing tool, and go kill that prep. I'll see you in lunch."
"Nuu...Don't leave me...."
My face flushed, tears brimming in my eyes.

"Fine..."

Squall offered his arm, which I greedily clung to and we walked towards my class.

Period after period went by, unventful, till lunch O'course I saw the bitch from the bus. This is going to be so sweet!

"Oh look its the wannabe Goth..."

The whole little clique laughed their thong unfilled asses off. But I'm going to have the last laugh this time. I took out the gunblade, slamming it full-force into the middle of their table.

"Were you talking to me ladies? I really hope you weren't! I really don't like being made fun of, neither do my friends. So I ask again ladies, Are you talking to me?"

I almost laughed as I saw them rendered shocked and speechless. I love terrorizing the preps!

"...No..no we weren't talking about you! We were talking about some other girl!"
"Well don't or next time,"
I grasped the gunblade and pulled it from the table, slivers of wood raining onto the Prep Demons.

"I'll get Squall to use it...and he NEVER misses!"

I walked to where the gang was sitting who were staring in utter shock.I smiled, proud that I finally got my point across to the stupid moronic egotistical preps.

Just off the record, i heard they transfered to another school the next day. I wonder why?

The bus ride home was great. The preppies didnt say a word, I was perched on my love's lap, the gunblade resting on mine, We all had plans to go to this new club Amber had found, The Starlight Melting Pot.
