"Fuck it, fuck it, FUCK IT!" she threw the stupid yellow ribbon on to her bed. How ever she tried she just could not tie the yellow neck ribbon of her cadet uniform correctly. Why was this bothering her so damn much? Why did she care what this lot thought anyway? She let out a huge sigh as Sion walked in, picked up the ribbon and did it for her, annoying her even further. She looked him up and down. In fairness he looked extremely dashing in his uniform. Though probably much to sion's dissatisfaction, he did look a lot like his dad. You could always kind of tell sion came from a rich family. He always held himself with a certain level of dignity and the uniform really showed that. She looked at herself in the mirror. The cadet uniform skirt looked very short on her long legs but the jacket fitted will, it nipped in at just the right places, she twisted her upper body. It did feel a bit heavy, she examined the skirt, it was kinda tight, wondering if not it would restrict her fight ability. Finally she reached over to her dresser table, picking up her fathers dog tag she put it round her neck and adjusted, but letting it fall just slightly loose so it fell underneath the collar and was only slightly visible. Her hair was tied back with just one strand falling in front of her face, just like in the pictures of her dad when he was her age. She saw seeing leaning over her desk and looking at her timetable, she went behind him, went up on her tip toes and leaned over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.
"Our time tables..." he turned to look at her. "Their totally different, we don't even have one class together, their doing this on purpose!" In utter disbelief sapphire grabbed the time table out of his hand and then grabbed his. She took several looks back and forth between the pieces of paper then looked up at Sion. "I knew it, I knew this place would do what ever possible to keep us apart, this is just so typical". Sion shook his head, he totally agreed with her.
"Well what ever happens, we both know were friends through thick and thin, just because were not in classes together doesn't mean a thing."
"yeah Si, I know but still, its not what we need is it?"
"Well what ever Saph, we don't have time to debate right now, by the time we find these classes they'll be starting." Nodding they both left.
Luckily when sapphire walked into the room the instructor was just about to start. She stopped in the door way quickly to observe the room. Everyone was staring at her, straight at her, nobody took their eyes off her, even when another cadet walked in straight after her, she looked back at some of the students, and they were whispering and pointing. Ignoring what they could possibly be saying about her she looked for a spare seat, she saw Vaughn Asher sitting in the back row, nodding towards a seat next time him, nodding back she walked past everyone, now being able to over hear such things as…'that's her' and 'who does she think she is' and threw herself down pretty quickly, blood pressure boiling. Vaughn, very silently showed her quickly how to log onto the computer before turning his attention back to class. The class was weird for sapphire, she had always been used to studying maths and science but now she was studying battle tactics and leadership skills, and actually, she had a natural aptitude for it, every question she was asked she was able to answer well, with what appeared to be a lot of annoyance from fellow class members. Well both of her parents were know for being very good students intellectually so it was more than likely in her D.N.A. what she also couldn't fail to notice were the opposite row that had two students sitting at it, one girl and one guy. The guy had blonde hair that reached just down to his ears with the fringe being pulled across in one direction with what would need to be an extra ordinary amount of hair gel. His pierced bottom lip didn't stop moving as her was constantly talking in sapphires direction while the female was very short, easily just 5ft 2" or similar. She had long shiny wavy brown hair that she played with her fingers while she also talked when looking at Saph. Before she knew it Saph was scowling back straight at them, shooting daggers. She felt hot breath on her earlobe as Vaughn began whispering into her ear, "the guy in the blond, is Amanz Dincht, farther is Zell Dincht and the girl, is Karma Kinneas, daughter of Selphie and Irvine, while you'll be please to know your father did nothing but bicker with all three of their parents while in the end he tried to kill them, their extremely popular people within the garden, well respected to boot, don't expect them to be spreading the good word about you." Sapphire turned to Vaughn, "thanks for the heads up, Guess ill have to keep my wits about me".
He nodded, "you will, that night we met I the training centre, Amanz was also in their, your lucky I got to you first, he was hiding behind one of the trees to our left, he's a good fighter but not exactly good at hiding, to loud, like his dad, but he would have taken any chance to jump at you". Sapphire give a smirk.
"Tell that little bastard to bring it, ill beat that little chicken-wuss so far and so fast up and down these halls that I will actually learn my way around this place while I am at it". She shot him and her one last poisonous look, so poisonous that both actually looked away. Thank god class was over, she needed a drink to cool her off, and she was burning.
Walking into the restaurant, with more people whispering and staring she looked around for Sion, she spotted him walking with his tray towards a table by the window, she was about to walk up behind him but she noticed where he was going, a table full of people his own age, calling him over. one guy turned to a girl while looking at Saph, the girl ran over to Sion linked arms with him and dragged him almost forcibly towards the table shooting back a look at Saph, poking out her tongue, she stood their in shock, she couldn't believe it, and right next to them were karma and Amanz. She went into the queue to get food all the time watching Sion, hoping he would turn around and look for her, like hell was she even going to dignify that lot by going to go get him, but not once did he even look up to try to look for her, he was just sitting back laughing and joking along with them, did he not even notice that she was 20minuites late to meet him where they arranged.
"Theirs room to sit with me and my two friends, come on". She looked up to see Vaughn, "you knew it would be like this, your both from really different worlds, so people here will view you so differently". She felt her heart sink as she followed them back to their seats, but it was sapphire, be damned if she was going to show him how much he had hurt her.
She sat down at the table, their were two others sat their, one boy and girl. They looked up at her and smiled, the guy looked and Vaughn and mouth 'Wow' far too blatantly. Sapphire just raised her eyebrow at Vaughn who just clipped the guy round the head, the girl was laughing loudly.
"These are Gem Michael's..." he pointed to the girl who winked at Saph, who simply nodded,
"..And this is Nigh Michaels, twins, but not identically. He smiled sheepishly at Saph who made no response. They both had deep rich chocolate brown skin. Gems hair was elegantly long midnight black and down to her waist, tied back very loosely. Her left ear pierced continuously all the way up the one side. Her brother Nigh was tall with huge well built arms which looked extremely powerful, his hair was short and closely shaven to his head and he had a small stud in his nose. Sapphire did need the rescue effort Vaughn was making but none the less she did little but sit and eat. Occasionally making a dry remark. After class Saph didn't really wanna do much except crawl back to her room. Throwing off that stupid uniform and putting on her favourite clothes (the black baggy trousers and bikini top) and she crawled out through the open window in her room, on to the balcony. Taking her hair out of the pony tail she took several deep breaths inwards and ran her hands through it, bringing her hands down to her neck where she touched her fathers dog tag. "Sion…." She whispered under her breath.
"Yes?" startled sapphire spun around on her balcony to find Sion standing their. "Where were you at lunch I was looking for you? I met loads of people, their really great you should meet them too." Sapphire brought her eyes up to meet his.
"You didn't look for me at all, you were to busy with your new friends to busy to even look out for me, and they don't want to meet me Sion, don't you get it? They hate me. I'm an Alamsly, I'm not like you in the slightest. The two people their, Amanz and Karma their parents were the ones who fought along side your dad against mine, they couldn't give a shit about me, just get out Sion, I cant believe you've abandoned me already." With that sapphire walked over to the front door, opened it and closed it as he left without even looking back.
