Chapter 5: Change for the best (?)

As soon as they arrived at Crescent Academy, they walked towards the campus. Zack catch up with Cloud, placing his well-built arm around Cloud's shoulder. Cloud just rolled his eyes.

"No, Zack, I will NOT let you cheat in Chemistry." Said Cloud before Zack could say anything.

He frowned.

Aerith walked beside Tifa and deep in conversation. "I'm so horrible at math!" Aerith exclaimed.

"What are you talking about, you'll do fine, you've got a 'B' last time, ne? " Tifa asked, encouraging her friend.

"A 'B' minus!" Aerith sighed.

"You just putting yourself too hard there mate…" Tifa said, sighing heavily, as she know how his friend felt.

A junior student carrying two large messenger bag rushes panicky across the crowded corridor, stopping only when he passes envelope into the lockers or people. He was so distracted that he bumped into Zack hard. His messenger bag full of envelopes in multiple colors flew everywhere as people started to laugh.

"You're okay, dude?" Zack said, held out a hand to him.

He ignored him as he snatched all envelops and put inside his already stuffed bags. He then thrust an envelope to Zack's stretched hand then went towards the others, doing the same thing.

"Looks like Shane's got a busy day," said Aerith, "You know, being the messenger boy and all."

They all open up the envelope that have given by Shane Warrens, the school unfortunate delivery boy. The envelopes have their name written on it. Tifa always wondered how Shane knows who to give the letters to.

"Aww men, "exclaimed Zack, "I've got a new timetable!"

Zack's words were not all true; Not only him, but the corridor filled with groans and exclamations as everybody's timetable had changed due to a new addition subject, Weaponry Class.

Everyone bewildered by the news. Knowing this Academy, there were never timetable changes since the school introduce to Japanese Language 15 years ago.

Suddenly, an announcement tune rang the hall. Everyone went silent to hear the news. "Dear students, as you know, there has been a slight change…" at this part, Zack mouthed, "is that a right word for it?" "… to your timetables. Students will follow the new timetable after the exams. Good day."

"What the hell is going on?" Cloud said.

"I don't know," said Aerith, "But something is not right here."

Tifa shrugged. Her eyes lingered the hall, then to her watch but bounced back to someone as he stared at her intently. She stared back blankly, out of words; The man turns out to be the man Tifa bumped into earlier that morning.

A hand found her shoulder then she jumped. She turn sharply at Cloud, who's gaze follow her's. "Tifa are you okay?"

She turned back towards where the man who was standing to found out that he already vanished from the crowd. "I've could have sworn," she said, "I've seen that guy before."

XOXO

Headmaster Loire released the announcement button then sighed. Ling, the secretary was there with her usual clipboard. "The meeting starts in 10 minutes, headmaster.

The man sighed and pushes back his black hair back; his bangs flopped back to its original place, covering his right grey eyes. His hair pulled into a loose ponytail, falling just below his neck. "Quit calling me that..." he said weakly. "What's happening to the world?" he asked out of stress.

"The incident happened out of our expectation, president." she replied, pushing back her wire-rimmed glasses that framed her dark green eyes. "Only Gaia knows what will happens next."

Laguna Loire sighed heavily; it was bad enough that his wife, the headmistress of the school passed away and left him as the new headmaster. He was a president of that country, wifeless and now have to deal with the problems of the world. 'What's next?' he said to himself.

Ling's phone rang, after a few minutes she hung up. "The commander had arrived president, the meeting will begin shortly," she said.

The unlucky president sighed third time that day.

'Hey, it's a new record' he said dully, calculating the times he sighed before.

The bell rang and everyone walked off the classrooms, happy to have finally walk off for recess. Zack caught up with Cloud.

"I'm still not letting you cheat, Zack!" Cloud said.

"Alright, at least teach me?"

"Oh no," he said, turning sharply towards him, "I'm NOT going to go through the same thing twice."

Zack sighed heavily; the last time Cloud tried to teach him science, he ended up trying to choke Zack to death in account of tension.

"But I-"

"Forget it!" Cloud stammered, leaving towards the other direction.

"Bad day for ya, Z?" said a voice behind Zack.

Zack sighed. He turns to the torch haired man beside him. "Leave me alone Reno." Zack said.

Reno Leaner was the Casanova playboy who has attitude problems. He had dyed his hair in bright red color and spiked out as Zack's, though the back was long and tied in lower ponytail. He has blue eyes and some red markings on his upper cheeks. He wears simple black short-sleeved shirt that says 'LaDiEs MaN' and ripped jeans with black sneakers.

"Now, what's with the cold attitude sunshine?"Reno grinned at him. "You know you can ask Tifa about your little 'problem' right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Aren't Tifa's from Japan? She can teach you Japanese, duh!"

Zack rammed his hands to his body then turn around in suspicious. "Are stalking me or something?"

"No!" Reno said incredulously, "Isn't it obvious? I mean, you DID got a zero in the subject right?"

Zack's mouth twitched. Reno, THE Reno Leaner actually said something smart? "No way," said Zack, snapping off from awkwardness, "There is no way I'm gonna let a chick teach ME anything."

That's longer right? Man, I'm gonna go to bed now…. tomorrow's the report card day…. Dad's gonna kill me for failing Math.

Don't worry, my English in top shape! (at least…)
