AN- Alrighty, here's the 3rd chapter. Hope you enjoy it and please review J Love you all!
"When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl…" Zack could hear Atlas's music from where he was sitting even though she was wearing headphones under her hood. Professor Angeal clearly hadn't noticed or he would definitely give the girl detention. Or extra homework. Or both.
Atlas has to be the only person to fuck around in Angeal's class, he mused silently. He honestly didn't care about school to do it. Everyone else were too much of a wimp. His eyes roved over the classes occupants before a victorious smile crossed his face. There was his favourite victim. Sephiroth Crescent, the biggest wimp (and loser) of all. Even though the poor kid was taller then him, Zack still found great pleasure in tormenting him.
Way in the front of the class was Sephiroth's (only) friend, Tifa Lockheart. She was pretty, but too quiet. Not to mention she seemed extremely afraid of him.
Why would anyone want to sit in the front of the class?
And, also sitting in the front, given the honourable (not!) title of the King of Losers, was none other than Reno Sinclair, weirdo redhead and Student body President extraordinaire. Loud, way too happy and Mr Stupid Smiley face was the worst president Zack had ever come across. Ever.
And no, he didn't have anything against the nerds, just this one. So far, he had seen absolutely no change in the school's activities. Aside from the overly boring morning announcements. His blue eyes moved to the clock.
Crap. Still 10 minutes left.
With a quiet sigh he stretched out his long legs under his desk, making them stick out even more. Beside him, Atlas shifted, and a crumpled paper stared up at him. With deft fingers he picked it up, raising an eyebrow at Atlas. She smirked back, challengingly. Zack opened the note. In small, neat letters Atlas had wrote:
I went by ur house to pick up ur laptop. Broke the screen on the way. LOL tell u what happened l8tr.
Zack suddenly regretted giving his best friend his house keys.
WHAT?! He scrawled back before throwing it at her. It bounced off her cheekbone before landing on her desk. She grinned as she read it, showing perfect, dentist daddy teeth, aside from a slight gap in the front. She scribbled something back and threw it back to him. Or, in more appropriate words, at him.
LOL u mad? She had written back. Zack felt himself chuckle despite himself. He was about to write back when the loud ringing of the bell cut him off.
"Saved by the bell, eh?" Atlas joined him as he walked outside to his next class.
"Huh?" he looked at her, puzzled. She grinned.
"Angeal was about to ask you to come up to the board."
"How do you know?" he asked dubiously. She smirked.
"I know."
They continued in silence across the school. The place was divided into two buildings, and it was an at least full 5 minute walk to the other building. Atlas ditched him halfway.
"Aight, Fair. Catch up with you later alright? I'll drop by after school." she winked before disappearing.
Cloud was running flatfooted across the school grounds, late for his chemistry class. Professor Hojo had kept him late to discuss his 'less then stellar presentation.' Old geezer.
"Aagh!" He tripped over something, falling flatly (and rather painfully) on his face. Great day, huh? Something pulled him up by the back of his collar, and he found himself staring into a beautiful, pale face with large green eyes.
"You alright?" Atlas laughed. Cloud felt his cheeks redden. Great. Who other than Atlas Vetra to trip over, most popular (and possibly intimidating) girl in school. She had apparently been sprawled on the grass, completely unsuspecting of any… clumsies. He didn't even think that was a word.
"Yeah, fine. Sorry," he muttered. He bent down to pick up his book bag, but realized it was gone. Huh?
"Have you seen my-" he stopped short upon seeing the bright blue bag in Atlas's hand. She smirked.
"Awww, you want this back," she cooed mockingly. Cloud felt his embarrassment ebb slightly at the light humor. He laughed.
"Yes, I do," he replied. And, surprisingly, just like that, she passed it over. She ruffled his hair teasingly.
"See ya later, Raincloud," she laughed. And Cloud was left standing there with his mouth hanging, wondering how she knew his at -home nickname.
