Chapter 2: Surviving the First Day
Tidus' POV
Gippal and I headed towards first period, English and when we reached there, I could see a few people from our homeroom, especially the brunette one. The English teacher was a lady who looked young and smiled to everyone who came in. We decided to take a seat in the middle and talk for a while until the bell rang for class to begin.
When the second bell rang, Mrs. Shelinda cleared her throat for everybody's attention. "Hello everyone I am Mrs. Shelinda and I am your English teacher for your senior year. I've been here for 3 years and might have had you when you were freshmen. Anyways I am just going to explain a little about the classroom rules and what we will be doing this year for English."
She gave everyone a syllabus and began reading and discussing through it. I was not paying much attention and thought about other things, such as Blitzball tryouts. I was pretty tired to listen and from the corner of eye, I could see Gippal doodling on his paper.
When she finished, there was still a lot of time of class before the bell would ring. "We still have time so I think we should play a little game." I raised an eyebrow as she continued, "So that we can know each other a little better, we'll go around the room and when it's your turn, you have to stand up and introduce yourself and say 1 or 2 things about yourself." There were a few groans throughout the class. I thought it was better than having to do work.
She turned to look at the blond girl that was in my homeroom before. "Alright Rikku, please will you start off introducing yourself?" Mrs. Shelinda asked politely.
Rikku stood up excitedly. "Hi my name is Rikku! I can get hyper and happy easily. I love to go shopping and hang out with friends." She sat down and I noticed Gippal was paying much attention to her. She seemed really hyper, and since Gippal could stand that it was like they were meant to be. I am not sure, but I think she glanced at Gippal when she talked as well.
A girl next to Rikku stood up and started talking. "My name is Lulu and I am a Black Mage. I enjoy writing and drawing when I have nothing else to do." She sat down and the girl with the brunette hair stood up.
"My name is Yuna and I love singing, dancing and shopping with friends. I also am a White Mage." I was watching her as she talked and noticed her eyes. One was green and the other one was blue. I never seen anyone with those kind of eyes, but it was still cool. When she finished, she sat down and other students introduced themselves.
When it came to being my turn, I stood up and started talking looking randomly at the wall. "My name is Tidus, I just moved here from Zanarkand and I love playing Blitzball."
When I finished it was Gippal's turn and he stood up quickly. "Hi my name is Gippal and I moved here from Zanarkand with Tidus and his father. I love playing Blitzball, I adore girls and drinking lots of Booze." The teacher raised her eye brow and Gippal smiled. "Just kidding on that last part!" He added as I rolled my eyes at him. A bunch of students in the class were chuckling as he sat down and I gave him a 'I can't believe you said that' look.
When everyone finished introducing themselves, Mrs. Shelinda spoke. "You guys can do anything you want for the rest of the period." As soon as she said those words, I glanced at Gippal and mouthed, "Don't even think about it." He pouted and knew what I was saying. I knew what he was thinking about when our teacher was talking and the key word was "anything."
"Oh come on Ti she said anything! Anything could be...anything!"
"Yeah but she did not literally mean to jump off a window!" I said acting like a smart ass.
"I wasn't thinking about jumping out the window!"
"Then you were thinking about having sex in front of class with a random girl!" I said knowing Gippal's mind at times.
"No I was thinking of jumping out the window." I shook my head and was going to argue, but I had to stop myself. Arguing with Gippal was like arguing with a brick.
Rikku's POV
When that cute guy, Gippal introduced himself, I could not hold onto the laughter inside me. The way he said it made him really funny. I wonder if he would be in any of my other periods. Mrs. Shelinda let us do whatever we wanted after everyone introduced themselves.
"It's only first period!" I said sadly.
"Weren't you the one who was like, 'I can't wait for school blah blah blah,'" Lulu imitated me as I glared at her. I guess I was a little too overexcited.
Whenever I argued with Lulu, she would end up winning. It's not easy to win an argument with her. She knew exactly what to say. But either way, I was pretty bored and waited for the bell to ring.
I glanced at Yunie and saw that she was gazing off, staring outside the window. She would always do that when something was in her mind. It has been weeks since she and her ex split up. She told Lu and me that she was fine. She even tried convincing herself that she was already moving on, but I knew somewhere inside of her that was a lie. Yuna never says what's on her mind. She keeps everything inside of herself like a bottle.
This year would be tough on her because Shuyin would not be here. But, it would give her an opportunity to find someone else. There are many cute guys in this school anyway! But Yunie is not the desperate kind of person because every guy likes her.
"So what did you guys do over the summer?" Nhadala asked. Nhadala is a friend who is an Al Bhed like me, and has blond short hair and green eyes. Yunie was still lost in her own little world to notice Nhadala talking and Lulu was reading a book. Thinking of books made me think about the summer reading we had to do. It was not fun one bit and that's all I could say.
"Not too many things," I answered trying to think of all the things me and Yunie did over the summer with Lulu. It wasn't only us 3, but other people too. I only saw Nhadala 2 times over the summer but we chatted a little online. I remember we had an end of the year party when it was the last day of our junior year. It was pretty fun and also we went to theme parks. I couldn't wait that day to go on the roller coasters and Lulu was pretty pissed with me, because I drove her and Yunie nuts. "How was Bevelle?"
"It was a huge city with so many shopping areas. I visited this cute store and you had to see all the amazing stuff that were on sale. Like these shoes!" I looked down at her feet and saw her shoes. They were so cute and had sparkles!
"Wow those are cute slippers, how much were they?"
She put her hand on her chin and thought. "Like around 125 gil."
"Oh..." With that said, the bell rang and everyone stood up to leave the room. I had weaponry with Lulu, and Yunie had Science alone. I felt sad that we all were by ourselves for science class. But I think the reason is that we take different science classes. I kind of thought it was ironic the first time I looked at our schedules.
We walked out of the room and Lulu and I headed a separate way from Yunie, waving bye to her. I always wanted to take weaponry because it would be fun to fight with weapons. I urged Yunie to join last year, but she wanted to take magic. What was the point if she already knew it? Same goes with Lulu as well.
Either way as we reached the room after a long time of walking, we entered taking a seat in the class. I knew somehow we wouldn't do anything because it is the first day. But maybe this week we will.
Yuna's POV
I wasn't in the talkative mood when we were in English because somehow I felt like there was nothing to talk about. After class I went to science by myself and took a seat at a table that was seated for two people. I guess it was pretty early, since there was a few people in the class and the teacher.
I decided to preoccupy myself and read a book that I took from my bag. Others came in the room and I could see many people I knew. I can see many people changed from last year and others didn't. It's funny how I could not recognize Isaaru back in English Class.
"Hey Yuna," Someone said as I looked up from my book and saw my friend, Paine standing there. Paine had crimson eyes like Lulu's and had silver and black short hair. She wore a black tank top and jean capris. I gave her a smile and a quick hug saying hi back. She sat next to me and put her bag on the ground. The last time I saw her was the last day of school in June, because she went on vacation to Luca all summer.
"How was Luca?" I asked wondering about her vacation. It seemed like everyone went somewhere. Sure I left Besaid with Rikku to go to Kilika for a day of shopping, but that was pretty much it.
"It was alright, I got a chance to see some relatives there that I haven't seen for years. The area was nice as well."
"Did you see any Blitzball games?"
"Yeah it was Luca vs. Zanarkand and Zanarkand beat them like usual." She sighed.
"The undefeated," I said laughing as she shook her head. The bell rang and I could see Mr. Nooj standing up. He was a tall man who had brown long hair tied up and wore glasses. I never had him in previous years, because he only taught seniors. Although I think one day in sophomore year, my social studies teacher was not here and he substituted because they could not find a replacement at the last minute.
Mr. Nooj cleared his throat as the class became silent. No one wants to piss Mr. Nooj off when he is about to talk, so we give him his attention. Even if he is a substitute, you piss him off well then there is trouble. His motto is that if one person does something stupid and gets himself or herself in trouble, then that person brings down the whole class with him or her.
"Hello everyone, hope you had a great vacation but now that it is over, we have to use our brains again, so turn them back on. Anyways I am Mr. Nooj and as you can see I am your science teacher. This is AP Physics, so it will be a challenge and all of you should know that. I must say that it will be tough, but if you work hard then you will pass my class." He continued on talking about science and what we would be looking forward to during this year.
I am no genius, but I do get good grades. Physics was hard last year I had to admit, but to challenge myself I took AP. I always thought Science was my hardest subject because of all the things that made it confusing. I remember plenty of times, Rikku and I would study until like 3 AM in the morning, eating junk food for science or another subject. It would always end up being late because it was hard to concentrate.
We barely did anything during Science. Mr. Nooj left us to talk to one another while he was doing work. It seemed like this will happen in every class. I looked at Paine's schedule and figured out that we had, besides science, math, history and obviously lunch together.
Paine looked like she wanted to ask me something, but she didn't. I knew what she wanted to ask because it seemed that everyone knew. She wanted to know if I was alright and I knew that even if she did not say anything, that I would have to answer her. Word spread out fast about my break up with Shuyin and even rumors started.
"The rumors are not true, you know me," I said as she gave me a questionable look for a short time. I might have said that randomly but her expression changed quickly, to a more understandable look.
"I don't bother believing in them Yuna, because I know you." I nodded. "Don't worry about them."
"I know, I am not. I don't bother anymore trying to tell people the truth. As long as I know the truth, I am fine."
"Screw everyone else, let them believe what they want to believe. But, if you want to talk to somebody, I am always there to help. Don't hide your feelings from me because I can tell." I smiled nodding again. For a first impression, Paine might be the type of girl to look like she does not care about anything. But if you knew her like me, she is a kind hearted person. I would always talk to Paine about my problems, and she would listen to me and give me helpful advise.
The bell rang signaling that class was over and that it is third period. I said a quick bye to Paine and left the room. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought that somebody was staring at me. I decided not to bother with it and walked towards magic class.
When I went to Magic I saw Lulu already there and greeted her. My teacher was Mrs. Belgemine and she seemed nice. Magic was like any other class because we did not do anything. She explained about the class and let us talk for the remainder of the period.
After class Lulu and I headed towards Physical Education. My teacher was Mr. Beclem and he seemed kind of strict. He talked a little about gym this year, because there is nothing much to talk about. It was mostly the basic rules. Always change for gym to get graded, be there for attendance and participate in a physical activity. He then assigned everyone a locker combination and everyone went to the locker room to try it. Reminded me of freshmen year every time we had to do it.
We did nothing much in physical education and were going to begin tomorrow. That was like all other classes. After Physical Education, Rikku and I went to Al Bhed class, while Lulu went to science class. Rikku took AP Biology, while Lulu took AP Chemistry. I thought it was pretty funny how we took all different Science classes.
My Al Bhed Teacher was Mr. Cid, who is my uncle. I thought it was pretty funny to have him because then there would be more pressure to doing great. I would hate to disappoint him by failing a test or quiz. This is the first year we had him though and the first time we found out when he told us, Rikku was happy. She said it would definitely be an easy A. That day I only laughed nervously. Uncle Cid taught Al Bhed for a few years so we were used to him being here.
"Hello girls!" He exclaimed noticing Rikku and me walking in.
"Hi Pops!" Rikku said as we entered the room.
"I told you Rikku when we are in school call me Mr. Cid," he said. Luckily, no one was in the class yet.
"Whatever you say Mr. Cid!" Rikku said happily as I laughed.
"Hi Mr. Cid," I said.
"Hello there Yuna you excited about Al Bhed this year?" I laughed and nodded. He grinned. "So how is your first day going girls?"
"Boring," we both replied and took a seat in the class. Other students came in the room. There were a combination of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Nhadala came with Lucil and smiled upon seeing us. I smiled back as they came towards us and took a seat.
We chatted with each other until the bell rang and uncle Cid started doing like the other classes did. After class, I thanked Yevon that it was lunch time.
"Hey Rikku I have to go to my locker really quickly, meet you at the cafeteria," I said to her as we left the room and saying quick byes to uncle Cid.
"Okay but are you sure you don't want me to come along?" She asked as I shook my head.
"It's alright, go before the line gets bigger and can you buy me lunch as well?" She nodded and left.
I headed towards my locker, which was in the same floor I was in. I opened my locker and put my books in my locker. I got new books in like every class I had besides P.E. and it was a pain carrying them. 2 more subjects more was the only thing that was in my mind.
"Hello Yuna," Someone said as I realized to whom the voice belonged to. I closed my locker and turned around.
