Chapter 2

Money Solves it all

--------------------------------------------

A sudden burst of whispering filled the entire room. Every single girl in the classroom started giggling and squealing, showing obvious signs that the entrance of the three men had successfully made their day. The whispering became louder and the cocky grins on the brunette and blonde's faces at the same time also grew wider.

"Ahem!"

Miss Daniels cleared her throat, clearly annoyed with the fact that they were not only late, but were also the culprit of the noise the class caused.

"Well well well, if it isn't Wakka, Squall and Tidus, now tell me, why doesn't it surprise me anymore that you three men would be the last ones to arrive to class?" She asked, standing up with hands on hips while the three slowly sat themselves down at the back of the class where their names were invisibly imprinted on.

Yuna and Rikku both looked at each other with the same thoughts in mind.

'So these two guys are the ones everyone talks about.'

"Well you see," Squall started, "You never seem to be interested in us, so you know, we decided to make our grand entrance just for you Miss Daniels." he said.

"Yeah," followed Tidus, "We might actually come to class early for once, only if you give us your phone number, you know, for homework and stuff,"

Squall and Tidus suddenly burst out laughing, "Homework, that's a good one man." stated Squall, both high fiving each other.

Miss Daniels simply sighed, "Why do I even bother, anyway, I'll just get on with my role calling if that's okay with you two?"

They both shrugged before Squall mumbled, "Whatever."

"Thank-you, Jessica?"

"Present,"

"Lawrence,"

"Present,"

"Rikku,"

"Here!"

"Yuna,"

"Here,"

Miss Daniels paused for a few seconds, intently staring at the two previous names she had just called out, "That's right, you two are the new students aren't you?"

"Yep!" Rikku squealed.

"Well, welcome to Zanarkand High girls, what school did you come from?" Miss Daniels asked, adjusting her glasses on her face.

"Besaid High," Yuna simply stated.

"I see, well I hope you enjoy your stay at Zanarkand high," she smiled sweetly before finishing off her roll calling.

Miss Daniels had allowed the whole class to chat for while as she was trying to sort some of her paper work out. It appeared that she was not succeeding to find the thing she needed, however, no one paid any attention to her for practically all the girls in the room had averted their attention to Tidus and Squall, all the girls except Yuna, Rikku and Lulu.

"So Lulu," Squall said, pushing his table closer to Yuna and Rikku, "Don't you think you should at least introduce me to your new friends?"

Lulu rolled her eyes before saying, "Well, this is Yuna and on her right is Rikku, happy?" she asked, slightly annoyed.

"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Squall, as you may already know, and these two here are my two best buds, Tidus and Wakka. I'm Lulu's step brother,"

"Unfortunately." Lulu added. Squall merely smiled. Even though they were only Stepsiblings, they had a very good relationship with each other and cared for each other in a sister and brotherly way.

They had become stepsiblings ever since they were at a young age; therefore they pretty much considered each other as real brothers and sisters. However, their personalities could be described as water and fire. Squall was a cocky and over confident person, who chooses his friends and often used his good looks to get what he wanted. Lulu, on the other hand, was more of a modest and cool person, who can befriend almost anyone.

Rikku giggled while Yuna simply smiled at Squall. She thought he was pretty nice, but remembered the previous rumors she had just heard about him therefore decided to maintain her distance. She knew quite well that the only reason why he was so nice was because he had a reputation to live up to. Tidus, who uncharacteristically remained quiet throughout the whole introduction process, was just about to say something but was interrupted by Miss Daniels.

"Okay class settle down please, I have just found the locker numbers assigned for all of you when the new lockers come in tomorrow, so will guys please calm down and come up and collect this little white sheet with your combination numbers?"

Unfortunately, the class once again ignored her, with their attention on both Tidus and Squall. Only this time, she wasn't as patient anymore; she was already tired and sick of this class and she had only had them for 15 minutes. But it did not amaze her, bearing in mind that Squall and Tidus were both in her class.

The fact that they were both son's of wealthy men was an advantage to them. Doing what they felt like doing, having what they want. Nothing could stand in their way, not even teachers or principals.

"Fine," she sighed "the last person to come up here and collect their locker combination will… will have to clean up the whole yard."

Miss Daniels smiled proudly as a sudden gush of students hurriedly ran up to her table. As for Tidus, Squall and Yuna, they simply took their time noticing the pile up ahead of them.

After pushing and shoving, everyone in the class had all gotten their little white piece of paper except for Tidus and Yuna. There was just one last sheet on the table and they both grabbed the sheet at the same time, unfortunately, Yuna had grabbed it just seconds before Tidus did, but the blonde didn't let go. Sensing something grabbing onto the other end, they both looked up to see who or what was holding on to it. As their eyes met, they were both not pleased with the situation.

'Oh gees, great way of avoiding him Yuna, and why isn't he letting go of the paper, he should have some decency of allowing a girl to have it.'

Yuna thought silently to herself.

'What the hell? Why isn't she letting go of the paper, sure she's okay looking, but who the hell does she think she is?'

Tidus thought as he glared at her.

"Um, excuse me, but can you please let go of my paper?" Yuna asked, annoyed that she had to even ask.

"Why don't you let go of it, why do I have to?" Tidus snapped back.

Yuna was amazed, how could anyone be so… so spoilt. With a 'I cannot believe this' expression, she retorted, "Well that's because I got a hold of it first, sorry, but I hope you have fun picking up trash on the oval,"

'Who the hell does she think she is?!'

Tidus was just about to counter back at her, but Wakka interrupted him, "Yo bro, just drop it, let the girl have it, plus you can always pay someone to do it for you ya?" he suggested.

Tidus pondered on the thought for a while, and reluctantly allowed the paper to slip though his hand. It wasn't so much of the rubbish thing, of course he knew he could've paid someone, and that was exactly what he had planned, but the fact that someone had actually gone against him was what caught him off guard.

"Have it," he mumbled, still glaring at her before reaching for the remaining piece of white paper.

Yuna victoriously smiled, "Thank-you."

"Well, seems to me that Tidus here, will have to go clean the yard up." Miss Daniels smirked as she had found the little scenario somewhat amusing. She must admit she was astonished to actually see someone stand up to Tidus. She mentally noted that this year would be an interesting one.

Tidus merely laughed, "I mean do you seriously think I'm gonna do it? Man, Miss Daniels, I must admit, I'm a little disappointed in you." and with that, the bell rang and the class left the room, leaving Yuna and Tidus behind in the class alone.

Yuna was silently packing her things into her bag feeling Tidus' eyes scanning her body, and she knew quite well, that there was a certain place where he would stop and linger longer than the other parts.

Tidus was looking all over her from behind and couldn't help but stare at her ass.

'You better watch your back from today onwards.'
