Chewie-2006: No…I'm not dead, like some of oyu were probaly starting to suspect. I just haven't had time to work on this. Since school is out though, I should have plenty of time write new exciting chapters for you. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I hope you keep on reading. Now, I give you Chapter 1

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Principal Rufus Shinra was standing at his office window, watching the kids gather for their first day of school.

The phone rang suddenly and he walked over and answered it.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hello son," it was his father, President Shinra.

"Hello father, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Just calling to remind you had better do a good job," his father told him "I put a lot of money into that school, and I don't need its good reputation being tarnished.

"I was just wondering father, why did you make me into the principal of this place?" Rufus asked.

"Well son, if you can't control a bunch of high school kids, than I doubt you can be my vice president. This is a chance for you to prove yourself. Now I must be going, goodbye son."

Rufus hung up and went back to staring at the kids outside. He absolutely hated the idea of controlling a bunch of idiotic kids, but if it would get him closer to controlling Shinra INC, he would go through with it.

All right you little morons. He thought to himself. Time to see what you got.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This sucks hard. Cloud was thinking to himself. He and Vincent had separated once they reached the hallway with the freshman lockers. When Cloud found his locker he put in the combination they had given him when he registered, and started to put his stuff in his locker.

He turned around and looked up and down the hallway to see if he saw anyone he recognized from junior high. With the exception of Vincent, there wasn't a single person.

This really bothered him. In junior high he might not have liked most of the other people, but at least the faces were familiar. Here there was all new faces that Cloud would have to learn, and try to like, even though he probably wouldn't.

Cloud was suddenly knocked out of his thought when someone ran right into him and knocked him down. He looked up to see a big black kid looking down at him. He wasn't big as in fat, he was big as muscular. He was already growing facial hair, and kind of resembled Mr. T, only with more hair.

"Yo dude," he said "sorry about that, here let me give you a hand." He reached out his hand to help Cloud up.

Oh sure, Cloud thought, first he acts all tough and knocks me down, and then he tries to treat it as an accident.

Cloud hit the kids hand away.

"Get away from me." he snapped. "Leave me alone."

"Jeez," The kid said back "I just wanted to help you after knocking you down, but if you want to be an ass about it, fine." He walked off.

Cloud got back onto his feet. Great, people are already hassling me; it's going be a long year

The bell rang, he grabbed his stuff and headed for his first class, physical science. As he walked through the halls he got a good look at some of them upper classmen. They looked like they were ready to beat on the first freshman that slipped up. He hoped to god that it wasn't him.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally got to the physical science room, and headed in for the first torture session of the day.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Barret and Cid were sitting in the shop room. They, as well as the rest of the class had been sitting there for five minutes since the bell had rung, and the teacher, Mr. Palmer, still hadn't come to class.

Cid and Barret were sitting at a table with a couple of upper classmen, who seemed pretty cool.

Barret was still trying to figure out what was wrong with the kid in the hall not to long ago. He had run into a blonde spiky haired kid in the hallway. When he tried to help the kid up, he just snapped on Barret. Barret decided not to dwell on it any longer, some people were just stubborn.

"Christ," he said "where the hell is the teacher?"

"He's always late," Dyne, one of the upper classmen, a sophomore, told him. "he's a complete moron really, I took a different shop class with him last year, and trust me, you can get away with anything.."

"Really?" Barret asked.

"Really," Dyne replied. "test it out when he gets in here."

As if on cue, Palmer finally entered. He was a short, partially bald, chubby man. He looked like the typical shop teacher, wearing blue jeans and a flannel shirt.

"Hey-hey class!" he said cheerfully. "Welcome to construction. I am your teacher Mr. Palmer."

He turned around to write his name on the black board. This is when Barret decided to test what Dyne had told him. He opened up his notebook and tore out a piece of paper. He crumpled it up, threw it, and hit palmer straight in the back of the head.

Palmer turned around and looked about the room. He then looked down on the ground and saw the crumpled up paper.

"Hey-hey, lets not have anymore of that." He said trying to sound serious, but only ended up sounding like a moron. He turned around so he could finish writing his name up on the board.

Cid and the upper classmen all gave Barret high fives.

"Ha ha," Cid laughed happily "that was classic my friend."

"I think I'm going to like you." Dyne told Barret cheerfully.

A smirk developed across Barret's face.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Aeris was really excited, she loved science, and luckily, physical science was her first class. She was sitting beside Tifa, who didn't seem nearly as excited as she was.

Aeris scoped out the room to see if it looked like there was anyone interesting. She was sitting in the front row so she got a good view of the rest of the class.

That first interesting person she noticed wasn't a person at all. It looked like a dog, she would of figured it was the class pet, but it was sitting at a desk, with all four feet on the seat. How weird. She thought.

She continued to scan the room. This time she noticed a boy sitting about halfway across the room. He had spiky blond hair, and bluish green eyes, and to top if off, he was really cute.

Tifa noticed Aeris staring at the boy.

"He's a cute one." Tifa said to her. "You going to go and talk to him/"

"I've only been staring at him for about five seconds Tifa." She replied "I haven't even thought that far ahead."

"Well you'd better decide," Tifa warned "or else I might beat you to it."

The second bell that indicated everyone needed to be in the classroom rang. A few seconds later, the teacher, Mr. Hojo, entered.

Mr. Hojo was a short man with glasses, a mustache, and long hair he had back in a pony tail. Aeris thought he was kind of scary looking.

"Good morning freshman." he said with a surprisingly cheerful tone. "Welcome to your first year of high school. I am Mr. Hojo, I teach all the science classes here.

"I am typically a nice guy, you respect me, I respect you. If you can manage to get your work done, and get a half way decent score on your tests, we will probably get along. If you can't do that, than we will probably have a problem."

Aeris felt quite relieved, that was nothing she couldn't handle, she had always gotten her homework done, and she always aced her tests.

"Now," Mr. Hojo continued "I will call out your names, when I say your name say here, and then I want you to tell me what you want to get out of this class." He picked up his grade book and started the name calling.

"Red?"

"Here." the dog like thing in the back of the room responded.

Whoa, it is a student, and it talks.

"Holy crap!" a voice came from somewhere in the room. "It's a freaking talking dog."

Everyone started laughing. Red put his head down. Aeris could tell he was sad, and she felt sorry for him.

"Quiet!" Hojo said sternly. "Red is not a dog, he comes from a special race with much wisdom, so be nice. Now Red, what do you wish to get out of this class?"

"I would like a good understanding of how science really works." Red replied

Hojo nodded in agreement, and then continued on with the list. "Cloud Strife?"

"Here."

This time it was the cute spiky haired kid. Cloud, what a nice name. Aeris thought.

"What do want out of this class?" Hojo asked him.

"I don't know." Cloud replied "Stuff."

Oh turd, he's a moron

She turned to Tifa.

"He's all yours." She told her.

"Thanks." Tifa replied, her face brightening.

"Well," Hojo said. "I hope you put more effort into you work than that.

Doubtful, Aeris thought. Very doubtful.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Red was feeling depressed, he was already in Algebra, his second hour class, and no one had talked to him. Everyone had just given him really strange looks. It's not everyday you see a thing that looks like a dog walking around school.

The teacher, Mr. Fract, entered the room. He was a rather tall man with short brown hair, and squinty eyes.

"Hello class." He said. "welcome to algebra, my name is Mr. Fract, I look forward to getting to know all of you, and to teaching all of you."

He began the role call. Red was last to be called on.

"Red?" Mr. Fract asked.

"Here." Red replied

"Whoa!" came a voice from somewhere in the room. "It's a freaking dog."

That was the second time Red had heard that today, he felt even sadder now.

Mr. Fract scolded the boy who had made the comment; it didn't really make Red feel any better. That's when he felt on hand land on his back.

He looked over to see the boy sitting beside him to be the one who had touched him. The boy had long black hair that hid a friendly looking face.

"Hey, don't let them get to you." The boy told him. "I think you're rather cool to be different.

This made Red feel a little bit better.

"Thank you." Red said to him.

"You welcome." the boy replied. "By the way, my name's Vincent."

"Red," he introduced himself to Vincent.

Red was actually starting to feel lots better. Someone had actually talked to him. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Tseng looked at the three freshman hall monitors he had been put in charge of. He was a senior, so he was in charge of the second hour group of hall monitors

There was Rude, a short bald kid who appeared to shave his head, then there was Reno, a tall kid with long hair, he kept in a pony tail, and then there was the rather attractive Elena.

Tseng had to admit she was rather attractive for a freshman. He pushed that thought aside though. He needed to get to the task at hand.

"As you know," he began "you are in charge of securing the hallways of people without passes. Should you run into a student without a pass, you are to escort them to see Principal Shinra. Do you understand?"

"Yes." The three freshmen said in unison.

"Good, now go and do your duty."

The three went off to patrol the halls.

Tseng then went on about his business, trying to get the blond beauty Elena out of his mind.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yuffie was on her way to the bathroom. Actually didn't have to go, she was just bored in Mr. Fracts' class and she asked if she could go.

She wasn't enjoying school a whole lot yet. She hadn't really talked to anyone yet, so she was really bored and feeling lonely. She wondered if she'd ever make any friends here, even the dog thing had appeared to make friends with the scary kid sitting beside him.

All of a sudden Yuffie felt a hand land on her shoulder. She grabbed the culprits hand and yanked him over her shoulder, throwing him onto the ground.

"Christ, what the hell is your problem?"

Yuffie looked down to see a rather cute boy with his hair pulled back into a pony tail lying on the ground.

"I don't know, what is your problem?" she asked back.

"I'm the hall monitor; I just wanted to see your pass."

Oh shit, bad move.

She helped the boy up off the ground.

"Sorry," she said. "I didn't realize you were a hall monitor. Here's my pass."

She handed him the pass, he looked at it and gave it back

"All right you can be on your way." He said and started to walk away.

"My name's Yuffie by the way." She yelled at him.

He stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"Reno," he gave her his name. "See you around."

I hope so, I really do. Yuffie felt like she was in love.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
