DISCLAIMER – I do not own any of the final fantasy VIII or X characters… Although I DO wish I could own Tidus and Squall… Sigh

Chapter 3

The longest day ever!

Looked at us! They virtually stared. It may have been because of the fact that we were standing so close together that it looked like we've gotten together during the walk down, I wish we could have spoken longer he's so sweet, adorable, handsome and easy to talk to!

The class just, just… stared at us like we were some sort of couple… well we were standing so close to each other that it looked like we were holding hands or something…

"Come in Yuna and friend." Said Ms Plant, disturbing the silence of the moment. "We were about to start the movie".

We walked in and I went to Ms Plant with Tidus close behind me.

"Miss this is Tidus, he's a new student" I said with a smile.

"Ok" replied Ms Plant

I went to where my friends were sitting and got Tidus a chair to sit with us also. Time flew by without a word from my friends they'll get to me later but eventually…

I sat on the chair Yuna got me, and watched strictly ballroom for the 3rd time this year. Time went by fairly quickly and after a while…

BELL

The bell rang everyone got up and left the classroom including Yuna! For a minute I thought I had lost her when all of a sudden…

"BOO!" I said grabbing Tidus' shoulders. I scared him, I could tell because he had jumped. "Did I scare you!?"

"Yes" Tidus replied laughing "Sooo Music right?"

"Right" I answered.

We began walking towards Greenway block. We were walking silently… I didn't know what to say to break the silence. I then thought I should ask him a few questions. He must have thought the same thing because…

"Tidus? What school…"

"Yuna? Who's our…" we said simultaneously.

We both laughed at each other.

"You ask first" I answered whilst giggling.

"No, no you can go first" he replied

"Well… I forgot my question you ask yours," I said sarcastically

"Ok," he replied suspiciously "Who is our music teacher?"

That's what he wanted to ask me?! I was a little surprised cause I was gonna ask him something about well… him!

"oh" I replied with a sigh "Mrs Matthews. She's alright sometimes, but sometimes she can be really mean, by the way I remember what I was gonna ask you." I said cheekily

"And what may that have been?"

"what school did you come from?" I asked curiously

"Me? I wish only one but this one is my third in one year! Most of my time was spent in Berman academic high in Melbourne. I was there from year seven till the beginning of term 1 year 11 there I was studying Strictly Ballroom also when my dad got a promotion in his line of work I had to move from Melbourne all the way to bloody Queensland and then go to this horrifying school where EVERY ONE wanted to bash me named Joanstreen High until the day my mum found out…"

"oh, this way, that's our classroom there and it seems as though Mrs Matthews is coming you'll have to continue at lunch…" I sighed "Only 80 minutes of music anyway."

"ONLY!" he exclaimed

I giggled, "You can sit next to me, hey Calli! Hey Lenne and Paine!"

They smiled and said hello then Calli And Lenne looked at me weirdly as though they were pondering about who the handsome young man next to me was.

"Hey I'm Tidus, if I recall you were Calli and Lenne and Paine you were in the English classroom right? I don't know who is who but I'll get there."

Yuna and I walked into the classroom introduced myself to the teacher and sat in the spare seat next to Yuna. I listened intently to Mrs Matthews during the lesson. Yuna seemed preoccupied and looked as though she was trying to pay attention. I wouldn't blame her if she fell asleep. Whenever I looked at Yuna she smiled and her eyes lit up each time. I wish I could stare into her eyes forever and become profoundedly lost in them, unfortunately I couldn't I had to listen. Every time she looked at me it seemed that she wanted something so every time she looked I mouthed the word "what" to her and each time she looked as though she was going to laugh but instead she said "nothing". I sat in the class thinking about what we could talk about whilst trying to still pay attention to Mrs Matthews. But I couldn't think of much to say, I decided to say things as they come to mind… Which is kinda hard considering that I didn't or haven't thought about much other than Yuna. The teacher went on and on about tone colour and Duration, you know all those horrible music terms when eventually…

I couldn't believe Mrs Matthews, she never stops TALKING! I had to try to NOT fall asleep, cause I didn't want Tidus to think that I was lazy and what not… I couldn't help a few times when I'd lean on my arms which were crossed on the table and just look at Tidus… it makes me feel happy especially when he'd smile back and mouth the word "what" to me.. I felt like giggling and mouth the word "nothing" to him, so instead I silently giggled and mouthed the word I was thinking to him and then point towards the teacher in an attempt to tell him that he should be paying attention… I couldn't wait to hear the rest of his story as to how he got here at Fairvale… by this time Mrs Matthews was talking about Duration and Tone colour. I thought she'd go on and on until I heard the sound of freedom…

THE RINGING OF THE BELL

I packed up my belongings as Mrs Matthews dismissed us from the classroom… I couldn't wait to hear the rest of Tidus' story… so as we were walking out I restarted the conversation in eagerness to hear him speak, after the boredom of Mrs Matthews speaking of Music terminology..

"So Tidus may I hear the rest of your journey here?" I asked politely.

"Sure" he replied, "where was I?"

"Something about the day your mum found out" I reminded him.

"Oh, Yes well my dad found some other younger woman and wanted to be with her instead so he and my mother got divorced. My mother couldn't take living up there with him around with his new "SKANK" as she called her so she got herself a promotion in her line of work and we had to move here… to Sydney and now I'm doing my HSC here in Fairvale high…in a uniform that is brown of all colours!"

"I know brown…" I said in a sarcastically bored voice.

I introduced Tidus to my friends under the Wright block shelter we all got along pretty well and every one were making comments about Tidus and Myself and whether we were together or not… as the conversation of a million questions from each and everyone of my friends continued the time we had for lunch had slowly disappeared. When the Bell went…

BELL

And Selphie and I looked at each other and simultaneously screamed "DRAMA!!!!!"
