A/N: Nyaaa...me sho shorry for the delay! When I finished writing the chapter one, I haven't even thought up of chapter two. It's hard making this story cuz I still don't have my internet connected to my computer. (All thanks to stupid Cox Cable.) So what I have to do is type up this story on my computer, save it on a floppy disk and open it on my dad's computer. Sounds easy right? But there's one problem: my dad's computer is in Japanese. So when I open up my story, have of the story I wrote is screwed up with kanji characters. So I have to rewrite half of the story again...joy. Anyway, thank ye to all the readers out there for not reviewing any flames. Greatly appreciated. :)
Oh, and I changed my pen name to Eternal Memories. Now, onto the special thanks.

Chapter II

Walking in late to first period was no problem for Yuna. Apparently, students who were late just came back from "The Barbarian's" punishment. Yuna's teacher, Maechen, thinking that she just came from him also, gave her a nod. Giving him a little smile, Yuna took her seat that was the fourth seat of the last row. Once she was seated, she took off her coat and hat.

"I really have to talk to Beclem about this," mumbled Maechen as he walked to the front of the class. "This is getting ridiculous..."

"Tell me about it Gramps," muttered Rikku who sat to the left of Yuna, laying her head on a textbook. "E's kuhhy tea ev E gaab drec ib..."

"Now that everyone has joined us, finally," Maechen spoke, mumbling the last word. "Today we will learn the history of the Great Machina War. Miss Yuna, please turn to page five hundred ninety on your textbook. Please sit up Miss Rikku and open your book also if you haven't so. Master Gippal, throw that away before I give you detention."

As Yuna flipped through the pages of the textbook, Rikku lifted her head from the textbook while groaning and opening her textbook. Gippal, a boy with the same golden blonde hair as Rikku and wearing an eye patch, got up from his desk to throw away what looked like a spitball straw. Cursing under his breathe, he walked back to his desk. Professor Maechen may be old, but he had senses of a hawk. He knows what you're doing even if he had his back turned from you. People can say that he doesn't act like his age.

"Now where was I..." he said, "Oh goodness gracious. I completely forgot what I was saying..."

Then again, maybe not.

"You were going to tell us about the Great Machina War, Professor," said a boy who sat in front of Gippal. His silver-gray hair was in a green headband that matched his coat with a collar and cuffs that almost covered his mouth and hands. From the way Yuna sees him, he skin was a little darker than the boy she meet in the bus.

"Oh, yes. Thank you Master Baralai," said Maechen, "Now everyone knows that the Great Machina War took place over a thousand years ago when-"

He was interrupted by the sound of the classroom door being opened. Every single head in the classroom turned their head toward to see who it was. Nobody was as surprised as Yuna to see that it was the same boy she meet in the bus. The boy casually walked over to where Maechen was and handed him a note. Muttering feverishly, he read the note.

"Oh, I see," said Maechen after few moments of muttering. He looked up as he put the note on his desk. "Class, we have a new student today. Please welcome Master Tidus from Zanarkand. Master Tidus, I'm Professor Maechen and I welcome you to Spira History class."

Whispered started to fill the room. It was rare to have new students in this class these days. The new student they had weeks ago transferred to a new school after his first experience with Beclem. It was also rare to have new students that come from a different country. (A/N: I'm not sure if I should refer Zanarkand as a country, but then again, when you look at the map in the game, it kinda looks like a country doesn't it?) Tidus caught some of the whispers he overheard.

"Wow. He sure has some guts to come to this school."

"Did Maechen just say he's from Zanarkand?"

"The Zanarkand Ruins?"

"No, you airhead. They rebuilt Zanarkand years ago. Haven't you heard the news before? Then again, you're too much of a moron to even remember."

"Crid ib!"

"Master Tidus," said Maechen, "For now please take the empty seat behind Miss Yuna over there." Right then, Yuna somehow felt a chill of excitement run through their bodies.

Without a word, Tidus walked over to where she sat. She gave him a small smile as he passed by. He too, smiled at her.

"Ooh, look Paine, looks like Yunie has her eyes on someone," whispered Rikku to a girl with sterling-like silver hair that had black highlights who sat in front of her. Both of them turned around and gave Yuna a small smirk.

"Oh, be quiet," said Yuna rolling her bicolored eyes at them.

"Hey," said Tidus quietly and tapped on her shoulder. She turned around to see him smiling at her again. "Thanks again for showing me the way here."

"No problem. If you need anything, just ask me."

She turned around again and saw that Paine and Rikku were still smirking. This time, they had their eyebrows raised.

This was going to be a long day...

A/N: Me very shorry again about the shortness of this chapter, but it took me weeks to think it up and days to write it down. Ya, I know, lame excuse...Anyways, can you guys guess who was who in the conversation Tidus overheard? Cookies and candies to anyone who guesses it right! Just to make it a little easier, I give you couple of hints: All of the quotes but the fourth one, are from guys. (Fourth one's from a girl by the way.) The third and fifth quotes are from the same guy. Finally, here's a big one: They're part of the Gullwings.

Happy guessing!

Lotsa love,

Eternal Memories aka Sakura Tear Drops
