Chapter 5: Exam Week!
"I'm late, I'm sooo LATE!!!" Aeris squeeled, running down the halls. She was late for science class and this week was exam week. Exam week was the most important week in highschool. All students who failed these test would have to go to summer school and Aeris didn't want that to happen if she was late. "Holy crap, please let me make it, ONEGAI!"
"Watch out!" Zack hollered running as well, he skid right into Aeris, who fell onto the floor. "Owwww!"
"Sorry Zack, didn't see you." Aeris apologized. She brushed the dust off her blue skirt.
"Are you alright?" Zack asked holding his hand out for her.
"Ya, I"m fine, do you know what time it is?" Aeris grabbed his hand and pulled herself up.
"Its....its 9:30."
"NANI!?? I"m sooo late, ahhhh!"
"Relax Aeris, what's wrong?"
"I'm soo late for the science exam and Mr. Highwind is gonna kill me!"
"Oh....well I guess you should be going, right?"
"Ya....what about you? Don't you have exams?"
"No, not now. I'm going to the library to study, I don't have any exams until 10:30."
"Lucky you...." Aeris gave Zack a sweet smile which caused him to blush. "Well gotta run, see you later." Aeris said, running down the halls once again.
"Ya....see you later...." Zack mumbled heading upstairs to the library.
"Aeris! Why were you late?" Mr. Highwind asked handing her a booklet of science questions. "Huh?"
"Gomen-nasai sir, but I was only late by 5 mins." Aeris replied, embarassed because all the students were looking and laughing at her.
"5 mins is still late. Now get to your seat and start now." Mr. Highwind said, glaring at the people who were laughing. "GET STARTED PEOPLE!"
Aeris rushed to an empty desk right across from Rinoa and began to write.
"Pssst...Aeris, why were you late?" Rinoa was poking her with her pen. "You're usually early."
"Well I bumped into Zack while running to class and well I forgot...." Aeris replied, flipping her notebook open, she began to write her test.
"Oh...." Rinoa turned away and giggled.
"Why you laughing?" Aeris inquired, facing Rinoa with a confused look.
"No reason...." Rinoa continued to laugh. She covered her mouth from laughing too hard and began to write.
"Tell me!!" Aeris was starting to get pissed and Rinoa wasn't helping, she kept on giggling.
"No..."
"Please!"
"Fine....it's just, you and Zack, soo kawaii."
"Arg! Shutup..." Aeris turned red, not just because she was embarassed but she was also mad.
"GIRLS! YOU TWO HAVE BEEN CHATTING NON-STOP, DID YOU AT LEAST START? THIS IS A TEST, BE QUIET!" Mr. Highwind interrupted. Everyone was laughing again and the two girls were bright pink.
"GET BACK TO WORK EVERYONE!!" Mr. Highwind yelled again getting fustrated. "If I hear another word it will be detention for the whole class!"
Everyone got back to their work, you could only hear the sound of pens scratching on paper from outside the halls. It was going to be a very busy week.
"Nice going Rinoa..." Aeris glared at her.
Rinoa just stuck her tongue out. "What are you doing? Get back to work AERIS."
"Man, I hate exams!" Zack complained taking a seat in the library right next to Squall and Reno. "What are you guys studying right now?"
"Math...." Reno replied still facing his book. "I have math class in like 15 mins."
"I'm studying history...." Squall replied writing notes, he didn't even look at Zack as well, everyone was just so busy and they couldn't afford to gte distracted.
"I heard from some kids that the math is pretty hard." Zack said taking his language book out of his bag, he flipped through the pages and began to read.
Suddenly Tidus came in panting. "I knew I'd find you nerds in here!" The guys didn't pay much attention to him, they were still studying. "Huff.....guess what.....puff....Mr. Wakka made me do 500 push-ups and man, am I tired."
"Ya...whatever..." Squall said still copying notes. "That's nice....Yuna..."
"YUNA!!?" Tidus hollered. "Guys look it's Tidus. T-I-D-U-S! What's with you guys?"
"Can't you see we're studying." Reno replied stretching his tired arms. "Unlike SOME people we want to pass grade 11 and not waste our summer being schooled." Reno smirked as he took a sip of his bottled water.
"Shutup!" Tidus shot back crossing his arms across his chest. "I'm not stupid. You judge me by the way I act, but you don't know how I really act."
"What....?" Zack looked up from his book, confused. "That didn't make sense at all."
"Man, you crack me up." Squall chuckled. "The only thing on your mind is probably the word 'dude',....'dude'."
The guys stood up and left the library laughing, leaving Tidus alone and grumbling. "Stupid smartasses!"
"SHHH!" All the students from the other table glared at him.
"Haha....um...I'll be leaving now..." Tidus scratched the back of his head and left quicker than you can say 'sweet'.
"Hey what was the answer to question #70 on the history exam?" Garnet asked coming out from Mr. Loire's class, she was asking Tifa. "I think I got it wrong. Was it Cartier Pierre Smith?" (A/N: I made that up..-.-')
"Don't worry, you got it right...well I think so because I wrote the same thing...haha...." Tifa replied sweatdropping. "Um...are you going to math class now?"
"Yes I am going. What about you?"
"Nah, I'm on my break. I just finished the math, science, art and history exams and I'm dead tired. I'll just go get a diet coke and relax, I have a P.E. test next."
"Wow, I only did art and history. What is the P.E. test anyways, may I ask?"
"Oh, it's a soccer field test and then its a huge volleyball game, boys vs. girls."
"I'm not good in P.E., I'm gonna fail." Garnet looked nervous and worried.
Tifa tried to cheer her up. "It's ok, I think you're gonna do fine. Just remember, don't be afraid of the ball and always keep your eyes on it too. Trust me, you'll do well."
"Thanks Tifa, your a good friend......AHHHH!" Garnet suddenly turned around like a speeding bullet and smacked the stranger from behind her. "Zidane, you lecher!"
"Zidane, you're such a perv, why are you here? Don't you have have drama class now?" Tifa asked eyeing him suspiciously.
"Ya well, I just wanted to know what you lovely ladies were up to." Zidane mentioned, then turning to face Garnet, he put his arm over her shoulders and smiled. "What are you doing this Saturday, wanna have dinner with me?"
"Iie...I don't date lechers and I ALSO don't date guys that use such lame pick-up lines." Garnet snorted, she took his arm off her shoulders and walked away. "Bye Tifa, see you later."
"Sayonara!" Tifa hollered, she then faced Zidane. "If you want her to be interested in you, I suggest you stop being perverted first and start acting like a gentleman." Tifa walked past him waving. "And one more thing Zidane....shouldn't you stop wearing that cologne?
"Why?" Zidane asked.
"Well.....it stinks....Ja ne!"
Tifa left Zidane utterly speechless.
Cloud was running and kicking the ball when it came toward him. He was wearing black shorts and a blue and white jersey with the number 7 emblazoned on the back.(A/N: Get it #7??)While Aeris and a bunch of her friends were cheering his team on. They all wore blue and white cheerleading uniforms that had the name of the team on it, 'Chocobos'. (A/N: Get it...'Chocobos'??? Eh? I'm annoying right? lol -.-')
"Hey girls!!" Cloud greeted the cheerleaders as he headed the ball.
"Hey Cloud!!!" All the girls hollered gazing and drooling at the hot guy that stood infront of them. He was the team captain and they had been dieing to get his attention. On the other hand Aeris just stared at him mad and yet sad that he wasn't hers anymore. She just had to let him go and live her life AND also find someone new. 'Why did he have to leave me?!' Aeris thought getting more confused. 'It's not fair, I didn't do anything wrong.'
"What's up Aeris? Something on your mind?" Cloud approached her with the soccer ball in one arm. Aeris turned to look at the girls, they were all staring and whispering something in each others ears, though she could barely hear.
"No...um...just thinking about the cheerleading tournament." Aeris lied and quickly changed the subject. "Good game, you're winning 7 to 2." (A/N: Again with the 7...lol)
"Ya..though we're playing against the other people from our team. This is just a soccer test." Cloud smirked. "Well, gotta go, they're calling me." As Cloud was about to leave, all the girls stood up and started cheering and doing some moves alongside Aeris. She was back to her normal self.
"C-L-U-O-D!! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL...CLOUD!!" All the girls cheered as they stood upon each others shoulders smiling and twirling their pompoms showing themselves off to Cloud.
Cloud turned around sweatingdropping. "Actually...it's C-L-O-U-D." he commented, causing all the girls fall down, completely embarassed. They turned to face Aeris. "YOU WENT OUT WITH HIM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND YET YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL HIS NAME- AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TEACH US IT!!"
"Um...gotta go girls!" Aeris said running out of the gym, she was now chased by a mad mob of cheerleaders with lethal weapons- pompoms.
"GET BACK HERE AERIS!!" They all yelled as they chased her down the halls.
"Another time...I just remembered I gotta...go...help the math teacher now...." Aeris skidded down the halls and dashed out of the schools front door.
All the girls stopped and lined up behind one another, folded their arms across their chests and waited. Soon enough Aeris came back bright pink and walked slowly up to the girls and face them. One of the girls spoke up. "Um...the math class is THAT way..." She pointed down the halls back in the school.
"Um...ya...."Aeris scratched the back of her head. Then sprinted passed the other cheerleaders and back into the school, only to have them on her tail again.
"Class your task is to preform a 10 min part from Romeo and Julliet. Study your lines while I pair you up with your partners." Mr. Valentine ordered, he was dressed in black and red. He was a gothic and serious teacher.
"Boy oh boy! I hate Romeo and Julliet, I'm gonna fail this class and Mr. Valentine is gonna have a fit with me." Rikku wined to Paine who was just sitting in the room studying her book.
"Well if you weren't goofing off and instead, studying your lines like all of us were suppose to then you wouldn't be that nervous...." Paine sighed still reading her book. "Besides when is 'Rikku' ever nervous or even frightened of something so pathetic..."
"I'm not chicken shit...I'm just...not sure I'll do well....that's all...." Rikku stuttered turning a little red. "Since when is Romeo and Julliet pathetic to you? It has tragedy and stuff, just like how you like it."
"I didn't say the play was pathetic...I meant studying for the lines, those lines are easy to remember."
"Oh....um....do you know the lines yet?"
"Like I said, easy..."
"Ok...."
"Did you do your math exams yet?"
"Finished all of them for today, this is my last class...."
"Lucky....I still have to do art class!"
"Well I gotta go." Paine shut her book and got up.
"Where you going?"
"Mr. Valentine is done pairing us up and I'm up first." Paine got onto the stage with Nooj. They acted the scene from the book. Paine knew all her lines and she was like a pro, while on the other hand Nooj kept mixing his lines up and had to get off the stage because people were throwing rotten tomatoes at him.
"Very good Paine, you may go back and take your seat." Mr. Valentine said clapping. Everyone joined in including Rikku, she was smiling at her oh so talented friend. "Rikku, your up next with....Gippal...." Mr. Valentine said looking at his marking sheet.
'No! Why do I have to be with 'him'? I'm soo nervous.' Rikku thought shaking as she got onto the stage, she pretended to be Julliet and Gippal was Romeo. Gippal winked at her as they were about to start. Rikku blushed dramatically. Mr. Valentine nodded for Rikku to begin.
"Oh Romeo, oh Romeo, where for are-?" Rikku stammered looking at the audience turning bright pink. "Psst...Paine...I don't remember how it goes...."
"Oh man..." Paine slapped her forehead and whispered. "Where for are THOU ROMEO!"
Rikku chuckled. "Oh ya....where for are thou Romeo....?"
Gippal was up now and he bagan to say his lines. Rikku was now doing fine and when she was done she wiped her forehead. 'I'm so glad that's over.' She thought to herself.
"You did good..." Paine whispered still watching the other students acting.
"Thanks Paine." Rikku whispered back, she then turned to face the teacher and he nodded to her, showing that he liked her work. She was so happy but still so tired, that she decided to take a quick nap.
The week passed by quickly and at the end of the day on Friday, everyone including the boys and girls were hanging out infront of the school.
"Dude, I'm so glad this week is over." Tidus yawned as he stretched his arms out. "Thank God it's Friday!"
"Ya...when I get home I'm gonna take a long hot shower." Yuna sighed as she brushed through her hair with her fingers. Tidus started to blush.
"How about we celebrate the end of this week by going out somewhere?" Tifa suggested. "Like somewhere where we could just chill and relax."
"Great idea. Where you guys wanna go?" Squall asked turning to face the guys. "Oro?"
"I dunno..." Zidane said, laying on the grass yawning.
"Same here...." Reno said winking at Yuffie which made her blush and whisper something in Garnet's ear.
"Let's let the girls decide." Cloud spoke facing the girls. "Any ideas?"
"How about the movies again?" Quistis asked.
"Yeah! How about 'Tofu for You'?" Zell jumped up excitedly.
"Don't you mean 'Kung fu for You'?" Aeris asked giving Zell a confused look.
"No, no, no, my egotistical friend, 'Tofu for You' is suppose to be the sequel." Zell replied crossing his arms across his chest, acting like he knew everything.
"Iie! I saw the first one last week and it was crap. How can you like such a pointless and stupid movie?" Irvine stated.
"It's not stupid!" Zell argued. "You just don't understand action, unlike you, I know the best."
"Oh ya, so being chased by a chicken, flipping over a a drunken nanny, screaming 'rapoolanumglagoosh' at every hot girl, taking a broom stick to go chase the neighbours next door and getting kicked in the crotch for groping the neighbour's wife, is your idea of an action movie?" Irvine laughed pulling Selphie closer to him. Everyone else laughed. (A/N: I didn't know what to write.)
"Hey, it still has some martial arts! And Jackie chem is a great martial artist!" Zell yelled getting a little embarassed.
"Isn't it Jackie Chan?" Tifa asked raising an eyebrow.
"No it's Jackie Chem, Jackie Chan is good, but Jackie Chem is better. Get my drift?" Zell smiled showing off his knowledge of martial artist.
"Um...no..." Tifa said quietly, sweatdropping.
"I KNOW WHERE TO GO!" Rinoa suddenly shouted waving her arms up.
"Hai....monkey girl..." Quistis asked.
"I'm not a monkey, the one who you should be called a monkey is Zidane!" Rinoa protested pointing her finger to the guy lying on the grass picking his ear.
"Hey I ain't no monkey!" Zidane sat straight up. "Why am I a monkey!?"
Zack laughed. "Because you hop around the halls asking girls out, you pick your ears, not caring if anyone is looking and you're completely pathetic. That's what monkeys are like."
"So Rinoa, you were saying?" Squall interrupted, turning his head from Zidane who was now growling and mumbling a string of curse words. "Go on..."
"Well..." Rinoa began.
"I am NOT some fucking mammal!"
"Shutup monkey face, let Rinoa finish!" Zack hollered.
"Screw you pig face!"
"Nani!!?"
"You heard me, piggy!"
"SHUTUP! LET RINOA FINISH WHAT SHE WAS SAYING!" Yuffie cut off the two rampaging boy.
"Well, how about we..." Rinoa began again.
"Dude..."
Everyone turned and glared at Tidus, who laughed nervously and closed his mouth.
"Like I was saying...Let's go to the 'Silver Stream' a night club downtown." Rinoa continued.
"Ya, let's go there!" Aeris and Rikku chirped.
"Sure why not, a little dancing won't do any harm." Cloud shrugged.
"Ok then it's final, we'll go to the 'Silver Stream' tonight. How about we guys pick you girls up at 8?" Zack said getting of the grass.
"All of us girls can meet at my house." Yuna spoke up.
"Yeah...I guess I need a break too." Paine agreed.
"Don't forget to dress retro-ish!" Garnet mentioned. "Is retro-ish a word?"
All the students shook their heads. Garnet turned red and started to put her bag on.
"Ok see you guys tonight." Selphie called out to the guys as they all got into their cars and headed home.
"Can't wait till tonight, it's gonna be so fun!" Yuna chuckled.
