Hi! This is my first fiction so please forgive me if it is not up to standard.. Hopefully, you people will give me reviews, comments and other useful things to help me write better..
Standard Disclaimer: FF7 OBVIOUSLY does not belong to me.. Hey, if it did, why would I be here? ___________________________________________________________
It was a brand new school year, but Tifa Lockhart was feeling extremely nervous. Why? Because it was the start of a new school year.. A new COLLEGE school year.. And all of us know how terrible college is. All the tests, the work and everything is bad enough.
Plus, there will also be new people to meet and everything and since this WAS the first day, the first impression had better be good. Can you imagine what everyone would think if you came to school wearing something totally out of style like say, polka dotted pants and a striped tee?
So there Tifa was, wondering what sort of clothes she should wear. Hmm.. lets see.. the plain white blouse and checkered skirt? Nah. Too nerdy. The skimpy blue sundress and flora sandals? No way.. too girly. Ahh.. the plain white tank top and black skirt! Perfect. Hmm.. maybe the black shoes with it? No.. the boots! That's right! The boots.. And my hair.. a normal ponytail! Great... I look perfect.. I hope..
"Um.. Tifa dear?? Its 7.00 already! You had better get going to school.. You don't want to give a bad impression, do you, honey?" Her loving dad, Trent Lockhart called from the living room. Her mom had died when she was only 7, so she was raised by her father. "I'm coming, Dad! How do I look?" Tifa ran down, carrying her mini backpack.
Trent couldn't help but smile as he looked at his 17 year old daughter. She had grown so quickly. It was just like yesterday when she was a tiny 7 year old asking about.... Tera. Tera, Tera.. you were so sweet and kind and gentle.. if only you were here now to see little Tifa, now a grown woman..
"Dad? Are you.. alright?" Tifa asked. Whenever he spaced out like that, she knew that he was thinking about her mom. " Don't worry about mom, Dad.. I'm sure she is doing fine.. wherever she is. She was a wonderful person. Hey, you've got me, right? Your loving daughter, Tifa!" Tifa smiled, though she felt like crying a little. She loved her mom so much and when Tera Lockhart died of cancer, she was shattered.
"Yeah, I guess so.. hehe.. let's go!" Trent started the car and they set off to her college, Shinra High. Why Shinra HIGH, I have NO idea. I hope everyone in Shinra High is nice, though.. heard there was this rich brat who practically runs the school! Rufus or something.. Hee.. wonder if I'll fit in alright..
"Tifa honey, we're here already! Welcome to Shinra High.." Trent Lockhart helped his daughter out of the car. "Good luck, Tifa." Giving her a kiss on the cheek, he went back into his car and left. Oh..great.. What do I do?? Where do I go?? Eek! Hey! She turned around as someone tapped her shoulder. She was about to punch the moron when she realised that the stranger was actually.. "Cloud??
"Hey, Tif! Isn't it cool that we're all in the same school?" Tifa was shocked. She hadn't seen Cloud, her childhood friend for ages. "Thats great!" She said to Cloud. "Oh yes, Tifa, meet Aeris, she's my... girlfriend!" A petite young woman with brown hair stepped out. "Hi Tifa!" she said,"Cloud has told me SO much about you! We'll really be great friends!" Yeah, sure.. Tifa remembered that she once had a crush on Cloud and now he had Aeris so she was a little jealous.
"Erm, yeah!" Tifa smiled. "So, who else is here??" Cloud laughed. "You wouldn't believe it , Tif, but Barret, Cid and the rest of the gang is here too!" Tifa gasped. "Really? Cool! I haven't seen them for ages.." Cloud grinned and said, "Well, we'd better get going for class now.. wouldn't want to be late, huh?" Tifa grinned. "Of course.. Bye Aeris, Cloud!" Turning around, she rushed off to her class.
Hmm.. let's see.. first class, Math?? Oh.. man!! I hate Math.. ugh.. why Math? I'll take P.E. anytime.. this sucks.. Tifa was so deep in her thoughts, she didn't even know that someone was coming her way. The two people banged into each other and Tifa fell on the floor with a thud. "Ow..." she rubbed her sore behind. Looking up to see her "assaulter", she saw a hand reaching down to help her up. She reluctantly took it and stood up. She was about to shout at the stranger who knocked her down when she was silenced by two blood red eyes. The eyes were totally mesmerizing.
Whoa.. those eyes are so.. cool.. they are even redder than my own. And they seem to hold some meaning.. like some deep, dark secret.. even my eyes could not possibly compete with them. She then looked over the stranger. He was wearing a black collared shirt with black pants and a crimson red jacket. He had a pale face, which contrasted with his deep red eyes. His long black hair was tied neatly in a loose ponytail. Tifa was amazed. He was really beautiful, compared to other guys.
Hehe.. a sort of cliffhanger huh? I was thinking of making a Vincent/Tifa! Cool, eh? Not many of those fics around..
