Nibelhiem high school-auditorium

I'm sitting next to Squall Leonheart in the auditorium chairs when our teacher comes in. She's a fat lady with way too much make up on and an oversized dress. She reminds instantly of an overgrown cupcake and I get a horrible mental image of her getting mad and her pink hair flying everywhere like icing. When I tell Squall about this he laughs, causing everyone's attention to be dragged to us. I smile nervously at the teacher and she smiles back at me.

"Okay class, though I want us to have fun in this class, now is not the time for laughter. We have business to attend to." She says cheerfully and winking in Squall and my direction. I am reassured knowing that she isn't mad at us. "My name is Miss Quen, though I like my top Drama students to feel free to call me by my first name: Quina.

This year we will be putting on plays and musicals just like your previous years, but I want you to know that this year will be different. I don't want you to be here if you don't think this is for you, I will not let you get by with this class just because you think it will be an easy A. Now I want to know what experiences you've had in theatre and if I think them inadequate for this class, I will put you in one of the lower classes. I take Drama seriously and I've come to this class thinking you do too. Don't disappoint me."

I'm already liking this teacher. All my life my Drama teachers have been silly little Language Arts teachers thinking they can run a Drama club. I want someone who would take this seriously, I certainly work hard enough to deserve a good teacher.

"First, class," She continues, "I would like us all to introduce ourselves on stage. Getting up in front of your peers is harder than anything else, so if we master that skill we can be sure to get up in front of a whole group of people we don't know. Who's up first?"

"I'll go!" I yell enthusiastically as I stand from my chair and run up on stage. Quina watches me with a smile on her face, waiting patiently for me to take center stage.

"Okay dear, thank you for volunteering." She says sweetly. "I want to know your name, your experiences in Drama before now, and oh… your favorite food."

"My name is Tifa Lockheart," I hear some people yelling my name from the seats and I wave to them happily, "I have been in Drama club at the school since I was in seventh grade along with Choir. I've written plays for the kids in junior high and elementary as well as one for my sophomore class." More yells from the kids who participated in that play. "And I've danced with West Continent Ballet Corporation for ten years. And my favorite food is white chocolate raspberry ice cream."

More cheers from the stands and I smile brightly. I am proud of my experiences, and my ice cream. Quina smiles and claps and I run off the stage just in time to high five Squall as he climbs onto the stage after me. I cheer him on as I sit back down on my seat. I watch as he quiets the class down with a wave of his hand, he's always been so popular.

"You did very well," I hear the menacing voice of Rufus Shinra say in my ear, "I always love watching you on stage."

"Go screw yourself Rufus," I say moving out of the way of his hot breath on my neck.

"Why would I when I have you to do that?" He says as he sits back in his seat. I focus my attention back on Squall.

"I'm Squall Leonheart, I've been in Drama club since seventh grade and I started playing the cello when I was ten. And my favorite food is nachos." He says and I clap for him as he jumps off the stage and sits down next to me. Rufus is up next.

He looks strait at me the whole time he walks up the steps and keeps his eyes on me as he stopped at center stage. Rufus Shinra is the richest, snobbiest, and he just so happens to be the cutest prep in our school. I've never liked him, even though he seems to be spending all of his high school career to get me to go out with him. He is the kind of kid that wears his bottle bleached hair slicked back with too much gel and has that store bought smile. His eyes look a lot like Cloud's but lack that beautiful mako glow. He screams money and he also screams pervert.

"My name is Rufus Shinra and I have also been in Drama club since seventh grade, I'm currently in a cappella choir," he winks at me and I smile sarcastically as I flick him off. "and my favorite food is… Tifa Lockheart."

I burry my head in my hands as the whole erupted in cheers and yells.

Note: Okay yeah so I know this chapter is really short... But I had fun writing it... Tifa's such an art student... performing arts more... but our school got rid of drama club and I really needed to put something like that in this story... Yay drama club... I was in it in Junior High and my brother was in it all through high school so, yeah... It's always interested me... Well I'm going to go now... love you all
