"Grr…"

Anne stormed out of the girls' changing rooms grumpily.

"Stupid dance classes, stupid tango…"

She pulled out a water pistol from her pocket from her waistcoat and sprayed Genesis almost automatically when he came out of the boys' changing rooms. Genesis spluttered, fell backwards, making Anne giggle softly.

"Stupid Genesis," she said to herself.

"Anne!"

Anne turned her head and Yazoo caught up to her.

"Let's go to the ice rink together," he proposed.

"OK," Anne shrugged and they walked down the stairs to the ground floor.

She paused when Sephiroth passed her. She turned and shouted.

"Oi, pretty boy!"

When Sephiroth turned, Anne shot her water pistol into his face. He spluttered and shook his head out while Anne giggled, grabbed Yazoo and dragged him out of the building to the ice rink.

"Stupid Sephiroth," she murmured under her breath.

Anne: 1

Sephiroth: 1

"Stupid dance classes," Genesis growled as he grabbed his bag and began walking out of the boy's changing rooms "Stupid tango."

He was suddenly assaulted by a cold jet of water from Anne's water pistol and fell backwards, spluttering as the water had gotten into his mouth. Ruka smirked, Yazoo tilted his head curiously, Sky raised an eyebrow, Dune tittered, Zero giggled and Edmund burst out laughing as Genesis fell backwards into the boy's changing rooms. Genesis grabbed his towel out of his bag and wiped his face dry.

"Stupid Anne!" he growled to himself as Yazoo stepped over him and went out of the changing rooms.

Sky sighed and shook his head while folding up his clothes and putting them in his bag.

"Can't you guys have at least a civil relationship?" he asked while pulling his gloves on for his next Engineering class.

"Nothing is civil with that girl," Genesis muttered as he got up, composed himself, checked his hair condition then walked out of the changing rooms.

He raised an amused eyebrow as he met Sephiroth who was drying his face with a tissue. The best friends stared at each other, their faces showing the evidence of Anne's water pistol's assaults. Genesis smirked.

"So what have you got next?" he asked.

"Kendo, yourself?" Sephiroth held up his bag with his Kendo kit.

"Free period, I need to help Brainless Benjamin with the Computer homework."

Sephiroth rolled his eyes.

"Lucky you," he drawled before continuing his way down the corridor.

Genesis turned his back on him and walked away from him.

"Stupid Sephiroth," he muttered under his breath.

Ruka hated his disability. He wished for a voice so he could talk like other people around him. He wanted to talk to Crystal, his crush. …Well more of a stalker victim seeming as Ruka took most of Crystal's classes just to be with her. But who could not love Crystal? She was perfect. Beautiful, motherly, kind, graceful, talented but too modest to admit she was perfect. Ruka had been sending her anonymous love letters, too shy and too scared to admit his feelings. He only hoped that she would become attracted to him.

"Ruka, hurry up!" Anne called as she went on the ice and skated towards Crystal, Harmony, Melody and Serenity.

The girls began to chatter excitedly as Ruka pulled his skates on and began to go on the ice.

"Ruka."

Ruka froze as hands grabbed his long white hair and tied it up in a ponytail. He turned, both of his ruby red eyes focusing on Yazoo. Yazoo stared into his left eye which Ruka often concealed because of the nasty scar through it.

"You need more confidence," he said as he skated out onto the rink.

Ruka watched silently before getting onto the ice and joining the group. He watched as Anne talked to Crystal softly.

"Next is Japanese and I can tell it won't be a good lesson," she rolled her eyes "Sephiroth should be sitting miles away but I get that feeling that he's going to cause me hell anyway."

Crystal simpered softly.

"Oh, Sephiroth," she sighed and shook her head "Out of all the playboys, Anne, you get targeted by him? He doesn't even target very often!"

"You got targeted by him," Anne muttered.

"And I accepted to get him off my back," Crystal shrugged "It only lasted for three weeks."

"What was he like?" Serenity asked curiously.

"Romantic," Crystal giggled with the other girls "I love romantic boys."

"Did you…?"

Ruka held his breath as Crystal blushed.

"Nearly but Sephiroth's father walked in."

Ruka had a brief image of Mr Valentine walking in on Sephiroth and Crystal in a king sized bed. The girls began laughing loudly, Harmony falling over as she killed herself with her laughter. Ruka felt a small smirk crawl onto his face and shook his head.

"It was alright actually, I was saved," Crystal hunched her shoulders shyly "I didn't feel ready and I was a little tipsy."

A gasp spread through the girls.

"Crystal!" Anne exclaimed, pretty alarmed "You've been drinking underage?!"

"I was fourteen," Crystal murmured meekly.

"Fourteen?!" Harmony and Melody shouted at the same time.

"I'm not drinking now," Crystal held her hands up "It was a onetime thing, I did it to fit in."

"Oh, Crystal," Serenity sighed "I thought you were smarter than that."

"I learnt from it," Crystal grumbled softly.

"Right," Miss Yuki glided in front of the group "Pick your partners."

Ruka glided past and grabbed Crystal instantly. Crystal blinked as they glided into position. Ruka smiled softly while the rest of the group skated around them to pick their partners.

Anne sighed as she slung her ice skates over her shoulder and carried her satchel with her heavy Japanese books. Harmony walked alongside her, wary of the negative vibes going off her.

"I've never seen you so negative while going to Japanese," she commented softly.

"Sephiroth's made my second favourite subject my second least favourite subject," Anne mumbled.

Harmony laughed as they reached their Japanese class and when Harmony opened the door to go in and go to her seat, Anne was left standing by the door, glaring at Genesis who had stolen Anne's seat next to one of Anne's closest friends, Zenna, at the front row. Genesis jabbed his thumb to the back row where Sephiroth was waiting with an empty seat. He beckoned Anne with a mischievous smirk. Anne glared back at Genesis.

"Out of my seat," she demanded.

"I forgot my glasses, so I'm going to have to sit at the front," Genesis smirked.

"You don't wear glasses!" Anne exclaimed then growled as Mrs Ito came in and ordered her to take her seat.

She hunched her shoulders and moodily stormed to the back of the room, sitting down next to Sephiroth reluctantly because it was the only seat available. As soon as she sat down, she began fuming silently when she felt a cool hand on her thigh.

Sephiroth: 2

Anne: 1

Couldn't she just get rid of him for once?
