Anne ran out of the singing classroom after writing down her homework to get far away from Sephiroth. Throughout the whole lesson, he had been standing behind her and literally breathing down her neck, giving her goosebumps and making her hair stand on edge. It was damn uncomfortable!

Sephiroth: 1

Anne: 0

She hated him! She officially hated him, he was such a…a…playboy and boy did Anne hate playboys! Anne shook her head and growled as she turned the corner sharply and into the girls' dance changing rooms. She grabbed her locker key from her satchel and opened her locker to get her dance clothes.

"Hey, Anne, what's the matter?" Gloria asked when she came in as Anne slammed her locker door after putting her satchel in.

"Sephiroth is the matter!" Anne ranted as she carefully took her waistcoat up and hung it on a hook "The stupid playboy wants me to give my virginity up to him!"

The twins who just came in, Melody and Harmony, gasped when they heard her and looked at her sympathetically.

"Aw, honey…" Melody started.

"Don't you want to become a woman yet?" Harmony asked abruptly.

"NO!"

The three girls jumped at Anne's loud response. She gave them a dirty look and sighed.

"No, if I wanted to be a 'woman', I wouldn't have my first time with Sephiroth. I'd rather be with someone who would care about my feelings."

After hanging her blouse up, Anne pulled on a black full sleeve shirt. She sighed forlornly.

"Like Cloud or Zack," she muttered "I wish one of them could be my boyfriend. I'm so jealous of Aerith and Tifa."

"Why Tifa?" Harmony gave her a quizzical look.

Gloria rolled her eyes and Melody sighed.

"Cloud's crushing on Tifa and vice versa," Melody explained to her air-headed sister "Surely you've noticed?"

Harmony shook her head.

"No, of course not!" she smiled.

Anne sighed again and shook her head, tear brimming her eyes.

"Am I only good enough to have petty playboys chasing after me?" she asked softly to herself while pulling her black trousers down to change into the leggings in front of her.

"Hey, honey," Gloria came over and placed a hand on her shoulder "Sephiroth ain't that bad. Why, he'd be the perfect guy to pop your cherry!"

Anne's cheeks went as red as her eyes and she pushed her hand off.

"No, I don't feel ready to think that kind of thing anyway," she mumbled while exchanging her school shoes for her dance shoes.

Gloria shrugged and went to her own locker to change into her dance clothes. Anne sighed as she stepped back from her changing place and began to rapidly go through the moves of the current dance they were doing. There was only one thing about her dance class that Anne hated. It was the teacher, Elmyra Gainsborough, Aerith's godmother. She always insisted that Anne and Genesis were the perfect dance couple because they were the right size and height for each other. And then she insisted that they just had to be the centre of attention and they had so much chemistry between them apparently. Anne never really believed her at all but when seeing a video of one of their performances, she admitted that it was true in her mind. Genesis, of course, flat out disagreed with anything. Anne loved annoying Genesis and Genesis hated her for being so annoying. Those two only agreed on something and that was that they were only good as dance partners and not friends.

Sighing as she was fully dressed, warmed up and ready for the class, Anne walked out of the changing room and into the dance studio. She took one look at the window which was attached to the viewing room and nearly lost her stance. Sephiroth was sitting in one of the seats, watching her with a malicious smirk. Glaring at his arrogant look, Anne walked over to Miss Gainsborough and sat down in front of her, doing her stretching exercises.

Sephiroth couldn't help but chuckle when Anne gave him a cute and very adorable glare to him then went to the dance teacher. His eyes trailed up and down her form when she sat down and began stretching. She had growing biceps, Sephiroth could see her muscle contracting and relaxing as she flexed her arms out. Her arms were clearly too short when she straightened her legs and tried to grab her toes. Her stomach was flat but not as flat as Tifa's. The same could be said for her size of bust… Sephiroth sat back and watched as the other students came in one by one. The only thing that was different between Anne and the other girls was that Anne was far too naive and innocent for a sixteen year old. But Sephiroth liked a challenge and besides she was a cute catch. This whole ordeal in trying to catch her could be fun.

Sephiroth caught Genesis's eye and smirked when he spotted Anne and rolled his eyes. Sephiroth rested his cheek against his palm as the class began to start.

"Right," Miss Gainsborough said as she clapped her hands to get her students' attention after their mutual warm up "Today I'm going to introduce you to the tango."

Genesis and Anne both groaned inwardly as they knew what to expect from her.

"Let's see…Amber can go with Zero."

The youngest students stood next to each other at the back of the room, Zero holding Amber's hand.

"Fiona can go with Yazoo…"

The ice queen herself gave Yazoo and icy glare before letting him walk over to stand next to her.

"Megumi can go with Sky…"

Megumi ran up to her older brother and hugged him tightly with a grin.

"Harmony can go with Dune…"

Harmony instantly pounced on Dune gleefully.

"Melody can go with Ruka…"

Ruka, born as a mute, simply glanced at Melody and walked over to stand next to her.

"Gloria can go with Edmund."

Gloria sighed forlornly and glared at Edmund as he smirked and waltzed over to her.

"And Anne can go with Genesis!"

Anne and Genesis groaned and hung their heads.

"Does anyone have any objections with these pairings?"

"I do!" Genesis and Anne threw their hands up instantly.

"Good, then we can begin!" Miss Gainsborough chuckled thoughtfully as she went to the music player.

Anne felt her hand fall and gave her a disbelieving look. Couldn't there be just one dance lesson when she couldn't dance with Genesis?
