Alrighty, I have said it so many times: the FFX characters are NOT mine, but Marla is.
Chapter 4:
The next morning, I was waiting for the BEEP BEEP BEEP of my alarm clock. But there was no beep.
Instead, I was woken up by…
"Come on, time to go!" Rikku leaped into the room like a cat and started jumping around.
I groaned. Rikku ran out of the room.
"Is she always like this?" I wanted to know. Yuna nodded. I groaned again.
Five minutes, I was dressed and ready for school. It turns out the school didn't have a uniform, so I wore my black trackpants, while Yuna lent me a blue-and-white striped polo top.
We got out the door and headed straight for school. In this world, there weren't any cars, so we had to walk.
"It's not that far," Braska explained as he walked us there. I could tell that Yuna and Rikku were embarrassed by the fact that Braska was walking them there.
The school looked a lot similar to my school, except that it said Besaid High on the front and there were no uniforms.
"this looks like my school," I smiled. Yuna and Rikku left with some friends of theirs. One of them in particular caught my eye. He was about Yuna and Rikku's age, with orangish hair.
Once I was inside, we got my timetable and all that sorted out.
There were six different classes, with a recess and lunch break between every two classes.
My classes were: Alchemistry (study of potions and science), Yevon Study (like religious study), Al Bhed (Rikku's culture and language.), History (Spira, Yevon, everything), Magic (self-explanatory), Warrior Training (study of weaponry, summoning, combat and fighting), and unfortunately, P.E.
By the time everything was sorted out, my second lesson was just starting-History.
Yuna came out from her classroom and grinned when she saw me.
"Come on!" she squealed excitedly. She grabbed my hand and took me down the hall.
"What class you got now?" she wanted to know.
"History," I replied.
"I'm in there too." We stopped at the classroom and threw open the door to thirty pairs of eyes staring at me, including the teacher.
"Ms. Catropa, do you think that you can be a bit more punctual?" the teacher, a man named Jyscal wanted to know.
"Sorry sir, I was helping a new student." Yuna smiled and indicated me.
"Ah," he turned to the class, "we seem to have a new student here today. Can you tell us a bit about yourself ah…"
"Marla," I replied happily. I stood in front of the whole class.
"well, for a start, my name is Marla Haptoka. I come from Zanarkand, where I've been living with my mother all my life. She recently died, so I was sent here to live with my sister Rikku and my cousin Yuna. Um, my favourite Blitzball team is the Besaid Aurochs…"
"Go Aurochs!" someone yelled out.
"Pipe down," Jyscal called out.
"In my spare time, I like reading and simulations." I hastily finished. I joined Yuna and her mates over at the table.
"Marla, ya?" It came from the guy who I saw this morning.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Alrighty then," Yuna rubbed her hands together, "Marla, this is Wakka, who's on the school's Blitzball team, the Besayers…"
"Besayers?"
"We didn't want anyone getting our team confused with the Aurochs, so we chose Besayers, short for Besaid Slayers." Another guy, with blond hair explained.
"That's Tidus, the captain of the Besayers," Yuna cut in, pointing to the blond guy.
"Hi," I replied nervously.
"That's Paine," Yuna continued, pointing at a girl with brown hair and piercing green eyes.
"Nice to meet you," Paine smiled at me, "You're really pretty."
"No kidding ya?" Wakka smiled at me. I raised my eyebrows.
"and last but not least," Yuna smiled, "Gimbal and Baralai, who are twins."
"Which one's which?" I joked.
"Never mind that." Tidus hissed as Jyscal came around.
