Chapter 3: Lunch

As the legendary Auron jumped into the air with his mystical blade, Sky just stared. He didn't know what to do. His instincts took over and Sky stepped back and leaped back at Auron. Auron, surprised with Sky's retaliation lowered his sword and landed right in front of Sky. Sky however was still in midair with his foot inches away at Auron's face. SMACK! Auron flew back as Sky's foot made contact with Auron's face.
Sky landed on his feet and went into a battle stance. His eyes were focused on Auron and his breathing was getting faster. What have I done he thought? I just hit my own teacher!!! Sky straightened himself up and looked Auron. Auron stood up and began clapping.

"HAHA! I knew it! I knew you had it inside of you!" Auron laughed as he dusted off his shirt.

"I'm so sorry sir, I didn't mean to! I just reacted like that, I don't know why!" Sky tried to apologize.

"No apologizes necessary! That's what I wanted you to do, but I didn't expect it so hard, and in my nice face you know! Haha!" Auron continued.

"I'm sorry." Sky still tried to apologized.

"It's okay! Don't' worry too much. Now class, did you see that? That's what I want you to learn. That was the whole point of this class. You need you learn how to defend yourself. Sky, take a seat."

Sky walked back to his seat, on the way his classmates were congratulating him and asking how he did it. Sky just smiled and sat down. He felt pretty good, but he didn't understand what caused him to do that. Auron ordered the rest of the class to go to the back of the room and choose a partner. They were going to do defense drills. Sky didn't know anybody in the class so he just stood there, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, a kid went up to him and asked him to be his partner.

"Uh, sure!" Sky said.

"Cool.the names Seifer Leonhart!" the guy said.

"Seifer.Leonhart? Aren't you." Sky began to ask.

"Yea Yea, the son of the dudes that saved the world. I get it all the time. And I shouldn't be talking, Mr. Sky Strife!" Seifer shot back.

"Haha, yea, I get it too."
"So.Sky, what kinda name is that?" Auron rudely asked.

"Haha, my mom named me. She thought Cloud in the Sky thing, you know?"

"Oh, I get it, pretty clever. My mom named me too. After my Godfather. Anyways, nice moves back there!" Seifer complimented.

"Oh, haha, thanks, I didn't even know what I was doing. Just a reflex I guess. Oh hey, Auron's saying something." Sky told Seifer. Auron began to tell the class what to do.

"Alright class, got your partners? Alright, good! Now, I want you to take your partners and try to grab them. Not too hard alright? Just try to and the other one has to fight back. No flying kicks in the face either!" Auron laughed.

The class laughed at his joke and began the exercise. Sky and Seifer was getting pretty good at it. Finally, the bell rang and Sky and Seifer left the door. Lunch was next, Sky's favorite period. He and Seifer went to the cafeteria and got in line. The cafeteria was pretty crowded and after they got their food, they sat down at an empty table. Seifer was his first friend here Sky thought.

"Hey, I'll trade you my green beans for your pudding!" Seifer asked.

"Hell no! I hate green beans!"

As they continued to eat their lunch, a girl walked up to them and asked them if she could sit with them. The tables were getting full and she had no place to sit.

"Sure! Names Seifer! You?"

"Uhh.Laura, nice to meet you."

"I'm Sky. You new here too?"

"Yea, we just moved from Alexandria City."

"Alexandria City! Holy Potatoes! What were you doing there?" Seifer asked. Alexandria City was known for its fine arts and music. Only the most sophisticated people go there. Museums and other educational aftifacts line the streets.

"Yea, my mom was a teacher for the Vivi Orunitia School of Black Magic." Laura replied. "She's going to teach down here now."

"Cool, who is she?" Seifer asked.

"Quistis Trepe."

"You're Laura Trepe? You're mom is Quistis Trepe?" Seifer asked. He was in shock and had the biggest crush on Quistis ever since he grew into puberty. "You don't remember me? We used to play when were little. Then you're mom moved. It's me.Seifer Leonhart."

"Seifer? Really? Wow, what are the odds of me sitting down here with another child of a hero, haha."

"Make that two.Children of Heroes." Sky interrupted.

"What's your last name?"

"Strife. Ring a bell?"

"Oh.I know you! You're dad is Cloud Strife. Cool, but this is pretty weird meeting all you guys in the same school. "Are there anymore of us?"

"I met Terra Tribal. That's it really I think." Sky said.

"You met Terra Tribal!?!? Dude.she's like so super firkin hot!" Seifer gasped. Just as Seifer said that, the bell rang for lunch to end.

"What class you guys got?" Sky asked them both.

"I have Geometry, what a drag!" Seifer replied.

"I have Black Magic, but my mom isn't teaching, thank God!" Laura said.

"Cool, I have Black Magic also. We should go I guess. See ya later Seifer." Sky said.

"Man, why do you always get the girls! First, you meet Terra Tribal.then you getta class with Quistis Trepe's daughter!"

"I have a name you know!" Laura cried.

"Not really, you're just Quistis Trepe's daughter to me. Peace out!" Seifer laughed. The lunchroom cleared and all was left was the cook.

"No Thank you??? Me cook Oglop Burgers and me get no thank yous?" the very large and long tongued chef asked herself.
