Tifa's POV--------------------
Zack flopped down onto my bed, his feet hanging off the end.
I sighed and turned my computer on, ready to check my e-mail.
"So, that Cloud guy..he's like, really weird." Zack said.
I sighed, again.
Of course we'd talk about Cloud. I thought bitterly.
Even after his what Scarlet labeled heroic rescue yesterday, he'd still made no intentions of being my friend.
Of course, it was already hard to imagine us as only friends.
Especially after our almost kiss yesterday. The one that I could not get of my mind to save my fucking life.
"I don't like him." Zack said, always the blunt one.
I turned to him. "Yeah, well that makes two of us." I replied.
Zack smiled. He seemed happy that Cloud and I weren't on good terms.
I grinned back at him. It's like Zack's smile is contagious.
But I still, yes still was thinking of Cloud Strife. I guess I couldn't help it.
I turned to my e-mail. But then I turned the computer off. "Let's go to Scarlet's."
She was Cloud's next door neighbor, maybe he'd be home.
Cloud's POV----------------------
I drummed my fingers on the windowsill, staring down into the yard.
Why had I been so unfortunate as to move next door to that girl Scarlet?
Damn.
I could tell this would be a long school year. But at least I'll be leaving as soon as school's over for Gongaga University.
I thought, attempting to console myself. It didn't work too well.
I was still depressed. But then I heard three voices outside and froze.
Shit. Tifa, and that one guy....
I watched Tifa and Scarlet laugh, and Scarlet flipped that annoying blonde hair.
I mean, I like blonde hair (seeing as I am blonde) but hers is like, an insult to blondes.
It's almost platinum. Zack was standing off, giving my house an evil look.
I watched him, slowly realizing why he was doing so. He must like Tifa, and is jealous because of yesterday...or maybe I'm just trying to be self centered and make it about me. But, it would make sense.
Then I saw Tifa look up at the window. And, despite how much I wanted to pull my head away, I just...couldn't. I couldn't make myself look away.
Damn that girl. Why was she so hard to resist?
I must admit, I'd almost been hoping for an excuse to talk to her today.
But there hadn't been one available. But I couldn't, wouldn't. I wouldn't give in.
I couldn't let something like this happen.
No, Cloud!!!!
Tifa's POV--------
Oh God....looking in his eyes like that was amazing.
I could have stared into those blue pools all day long.
Why had I come here? Just to see him? Was I really that into him? That he was like a fucking drug or something to me??!!!
Well, if I was going to think of him as a drug, then he was the best damn drug in the world.
Cloud's POV--------------------
Yeah, that's flattering Cloud. Think of her as fucking speed or something.
I thought, annoyed at myself.
But Tifa is like a goddamn drug.
Too much like a drug.
That was the reason I'd helped her.
I couldn't let my drug get hurt to where I couldn't get my supply.
That was all.
Maybe not even that. Maybe in a week, Tifa Lockhart wouldn't matter, and I could forget her.
Please, now I'm fucking lying to myself too.
Tifa's POV----------------------
Damnit.
"I'll see you later, Scarlet, I have to get home." I said, walking away.
Zack was right behind me, but he could apparently tell I wanted to be alone, cause he headed to his house.
Thank God. I thought heading home.
Of course, Dad was working tonight too.
I was beginning to think that work was his drug.
Damn, now I'm thinking about drugs. Am I insane???
Maybe...although I'm not answering that.
As I fell asleep, my last thoughts were of Cloud..and how damn good he smelled...
The next Day::::
Tifa's POV----------------
I managed to get to school and my first hour class without tripping or knocking into someone.
Amazing.
Unfortunately, Cloud had been transferred to all my classes.
Damnit.
How was I supposed to get anything done with him so goddamn close??? I could hear him, see him out of the corner of my eye, smell that amazing aroma that occupied him.
Damn. I need to give up...on Cloud.
As if it was that fucking easy.
Cloud's POV-----------
I'm still not sure how I got away with it. But I managed to get my guardian to have all my classes set the same as Tifa's.
I don't really know why I did it either.
But I've decided that I can't really stay away from Tifa Lockhart and keep my sanity.
So I'm not going to try anymore. I'm going to get as close as we both want.
Which is pretty damn close.
~~~ and there ends chpt. 3!! WOOT!!!!
lol.....chpt. 4 will probably be really, really, really soon. :)
