Aerith was walking along the hall thinking about the dance she bumped or rather CLASHED into someone. Luckily the person she clashed into caught her before she fell and not lucky that she had bumped her head against the person
Aerith hurt 'oww… im sorry!' she looked up and it was Cloud that she bumped into.
Cloud put her to her feet 'its ok. I wasn't looking where I was going either. Are you ok?'
Aerith nods 'I-I am fine. No need to worry!' she laughs
Cloud smiles and Aerith blushes
Aerith 'um…I was thinking about the dance. I wasn't planning to go but my friend bought me tickets'
Cloud 'oh really? I wasn't even going to go but my friend bought the tickets. Looks like we got the same types of friends'
Aerith nods 'yeah but she is still my friend. She knows everything about me and my problems…'
Cloud nods 'then we really do have same friends. I have problems that I cant talk about to normal people. They would start treating me different'
Aerith sighs 'I also have problems that I cant tell people. Yuffie is the only person I told' she lightly laughs
Cloud 'yeah…everyone has problems I guess… but I feel like my problem doesn't matter'
Aerith 'hmmm. So Leon knows everything about you?'
Cloud nods 'yeah. I know everything about him. Like his collection of beanie babies he has. Oops! I wasn't suppose to tell you that'
Aerith laughs 'its ok. I wont tell anyone…'
Cloud laughs 'you are really easy to talk to. I wonder why…'
Aerith shrugs 'im guessing cuz im a good listener and I don't judge you by what you say' Aerith smiles and Cloud blushes. Cloud didn't know why
But for some reason they stared at each other for a long time looking into each other's eyes. Aerith just stared at his cold blue eyes and Cloud stared at her kind gentle green eyes. Cloud was getting closer to Aerith's face. Aerith didn't know what to do but stay still. As they were lip distance away from each other the bell had rang loudly on their ears. Cloud stopped and realized what he was doing and looked down
Aerith managed to say 'um… that was the bell…'
Cloud didn't say anything and Aerith left in a hurry to the women's restroom.
Aerith's face was super red and she put her hands on her face thinking 'w-what had just happened?! We were just talking! Was he actually going to kiss me!!!? …Does that mean he likes me…? Oh no! What or how am I going to react when I see him at homeroom tomorrow?! Ahhhh!! Wait… we don't have school tomorrow! Thank goodness! But should I tell Yuffie?!' Aerith was freaking out deciding whether or not to tell Yuffie her best friend
Cloud had gone to class and was thinking 'what did I just do? …Sssssiiiiggghhhhhhh. That wasn't me at all… what am I suppose to do when I see her? I shouldn't say anything. That was out of character for me—' Leon broke his thoughts by smacking him on the back of his head
Cloud 'what the heck was that for?!'
Leon laughs 'cuz you weren't paying attention! Class ended!' Cloud looked around and no one was there but him and Leon
Cloud 'oh… then lets go home' Leon nodded and they both left
Aerith decided not to tell Yuffie thinking it was not that big of a deal so she went home.
What they both didn't know that troubles were coming to them! And tomorrow was the big dance! What can go wrong?
