Chewie-2006: Not much to say really, it's just chapter 2 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"This tastes like cardboard." Cloud told Vincent, referring to the hamburger that Cloud was eating for lunch, courtesy of the school lunch.

"What did you expect?" Vincent asked him. "A Big Mac?"

"Not really." Cloud sighed heavily. "They still could've given us something with actual taste though."

Vincent was actually glad it was time for lunch; despite the fact the food had no taste. He had been getting bored in all of his classes, they were all interesting, but everything just seemed too easy.

"I think the food is good." Red suddenly broke in. Vincent had asked Red to come and sit with them, since no one seemed to want to talk to him.

"Do you guys like to eat cardboard back home?" Cloud asked him.

Smart ass. Vincent thought to himself.

"No." Red replied "We actually have most of the food that you have here. Hamburgers are an exception though, this is the first time I've ever seen one.

"Well trust me," Cloud told him. "There are much better ones out there than these crappy things."

Vincent had to agree with him there, these things certainly did taste like crap. Vincent looked around the lunch room to scope out what other kind of people were around. He saw several fellow freshmen who he had been in his classes, as well as plenty of upper classmen he'd seen in the hall.

That's when he saw her. A couple tables down from his, there was a girl sitting by herself, not even eating her lunch, but looking through a biology book instead. She had long black hair, and was wearing glasses that hid her eyes. Vincent thought she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.

"Dude," Cloud interrupted his thoughts "what are you gawking at."

"Her," Vincent pointed to the girl sitting at the table. "She's beautiful."

Cloud cocked one eyebrow. "She's not that great."

Vincent heard this but he didn't care, Cloud could think what he wanted, Vincent thought she was great. "I think she looks pretty." Red agreed.

Cloud turned his attention over to Red.

"What would you know about human beauty?" Cloud asked him.

"While I can't actually be attracted to a human being, I can still recognize when one is beautiful." Red replied.

'Oh, ok" Cloud said, still sounding confused. "Why don't you go talk to her Vincent?

"I doubt she'd want to talk to me." Vincent told him. "She's reading a biology book, that would make her a sophomore, I doubt she'll want to talk to a freshman.

"You'll never know until you try." Cloud told him.

"What makes you such an expert on the matter?" Vincent asked him.

"No one said I was an expert, everything I've said just sounded good."

'That's great," Vincent said, not quite convinced. "I'll take it into to consideration." He then got up to go dump his lunch tray, wondering the whole time if Cloud actually might be right.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cid took a bite into the hamburger the lunch lady had given him, expecting juicy goodness. What he got, however, was a piece of something that tasted like cardboard. He spit the nasty tasting crap back onto his tray.

The other people at the table started to laugh. Sitting with him was Barret, Dyne, and some other upper classmen.

"Better get used to the taste." Dyne told him. "Pretty much everything you get is going to taste like that."

"I guess I should at least be happy that they feed us." Cid said, still trying to get the nasty taste out of his mouth.

"It's one of the few luxuries they give us." One of the other upperclassmen told him. "to bad it sucks."

Everyone started to laugh at this comment. Cid stopped though. Someone had caught his attention. He saw a rather tall kid with long silver hair. Everyone seemed to get out of his way, and all the girls around him stopped what they were doing so they could watch him as he walked. He walked right past the table and cid thought he could feel some essence coming from the kid.

"Who is that?" he asked Dyne.

"That's Sephiroth," Dyne told him. "He's pretty much the king of the high school. Even last year when he was a junior, most seniors bowed down to him."

"Was he the captain of the football team or something?" Barret asked him.

"No, we don't have football here, no one wanted to play it for some reason, but he does dominate in both basketball and track. Plus, he likes to street fight, and he has never been beaten. So nobody opposes him, and everybody worships him."

Cid kind of thought he sounded like the bad kid in some teenage comedy.

Dyne continued "This Friday he's having a major party to kick off the start of the new school year. He'll have a keg and everything. Are you two going be there?"

Cid thought about it for a minute, he thought about what would happen if he got caught drinking, and then he figured his dad would already be to drunk to care.

"Of course," he told Dyne "we'll be there." If dad can drink, than I can drink.

Tifa stared blankly down at her hamburger. She had just taken a bite of it, and she could have sworn it tasted like a box. What the hell is this? Whatever it was, she wasn't going to eat the rest of it.

The school day had been pretty boring so far. The classes were dull, and she hadn't talked to a single boy yet. Of course every boy she had passed had taken the liberty of looking at her chest rather than look at her. Let's just say she had rather large breasts for a 14 year old freshman. She liked to use them to her advantage when talking to boys, as long as they actually talked to her, and not to her breasts.

Sitting with her at the table was Aeris; it just wouldn't be lunch without her. Then there were two fellow freshmen she had just met last period.

The first one was Elena, a friendly blond haired girl, who doubled as a hall monitor. The other one was Yuffie, a rather spastic and strange girl, who had just moved to Midgar over the summer.

They had all been talking about what they thought of their classes and teachers so far, they all agreed that they were boring. Except Aeris of course, she'd loved everything so far. Tifa just could understand it, how could Aeris love school so much? She decided to change the subject.

"Do either of you have a boyfriend?" She asked Yuffie and Elena.

"I don't at the moment." Yuffie replied. "There is this hall monitor I accidentally attacked earlier though; I might try to go after him.

Elena's eyes widened. "So you're the one Reno was talking about!" She exclaimed "You should go after him; he sounded like he liked you."

Yuffie smiled at the idea.

"What about you?" Tifa asked Elena. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Well," Elena began. "Tseng, the senior hall monitor asked me to the big keg party on Friday, so hopefully he'll want to be my boyfriend. Say, are you guys going to go to the party?'

"I probably will." Yuffie said "Maybe I can get Reno to go with me."

Tifa thought about if for a moment. This could be a good way to meet some boys. "I'll go." She finally said. "What about you Aeris?"

"I don't think so." Aeris replied. "It just doesn't sound that interesting to me."

I'll just never understand. Her lack of wanting to have fun was starting to drive Tifa insane.

Tifa got up to go dump he lunch tray, and that's when she saw him. Cloud, the cute spiky haired kid from physical science was walking back to his table after dumping his tray. Tifa quickly dumped her tray and took several large steps so she could cut him off.

"Hi." she said as soon as she was in front of him.

She must have surprised him quite a bit because he jumped back at least a foot.

"Uh, hi." he responded back sounding kind of nervous.

"Aren't you in my physical science class/" she asked him.

"First hour?" he still sounded nervous.

"Yes, with Mr. Hojo."

"Yea, I have physical science that hour." he finally told her. Tifa noticed he was trying really hard not to stare down at her chest, which must be why he sounded so nervous.

'I'm Tifa." she introduced herself

"Uh, I'm Cloud."

She took his hand and shook it. She noticed it was shaking rather badly. Jeez, he must really be trying his hardest no to look. She decided she'd better continue the conversation.

"So do you like school so far?" she asked him.

"No I hate it." He replied, sounding a bit calmer now.

"Me too, it's just so boring."

"I agree."

The bell rang, and everyone started to get up and head to class.

"Well, talk to you later." Tifa told Cloud.

"Um, yea, later." Cloud stuttered. He then turned around and started to walk, only to trip over a chair. He got back up quickly and headed out of the lunch room.

Oh I'm going to have fun with him. Tifa thought. Lots of fun.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
o

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Cloud was on his way to his locker. He could not believe how stupid he had just been.

A hot girl actually comes to talk to you, and you end the conversation by falling over a chair!

Cloud didn't know how to handle the conversation. A hot girl had never talked to him before, he had been nervous as hell. He couldn't figure out why she had kept talking to him. To make matters worse he had to keep from looking at her chest, which was a nearly impossible task. They were just so big.

Cloud got to his locker and quickly grabbed his stuff. He headed to his next class hoping that next time he could handle the situation a little bit better.
