Anne rubbed her hands up and down her biceps wearily as she sat outside Vincent's office, listening to Sephiroth talking to him about what was going on. She heard the way Vincent seemed wary about Sephiroth jumping to conclusions and Sephiroth seemed tired of explaining Daisy's motive to wind Anne up. Anne winced when Sephiroth accidentally, or perhaps not accidentally, mentioned the fact that they were now going out. Vincent's voice seemed to rise as he began barking at Sephiroth to why he shouldn't be going out with her and Anne sighed tiredly, pulling her legs up to hook her arms around them and stare into space absent-mindedly.

"Why, if it isn't the Queen of Sluts herself."

Anne bristled when she heard Daisy and slowly looked down the corridor to see her and a small gang of girls sneering at her in a similar fashion. Anne never liked these girls. They were too popular and too arrogant for her to be around with.

Sierra, the most flexible Anne had ever seen. She had a very curved figure and a very nice natural tan. She often had her chocolate brown hair up in a ponytail and she boasted about her looks frequently. Anne started disliking her since she saw her bullying poor Luna on her looks. Luna had very low self-esteem at the time and Anne often saw her crying at lunchtime. It was when Luna began wearing make-up like Sierra that Anne voiced her concerns to her twin brother, Luka, who agreed something was wrong. After talking to Luna, Anne helped her find friends to be around with who wouldn't judge her sense of fashion or her looks. Sierra seemed a bit annoyed at both Anne and Luka for taking away her 'plaything' which made Anne really worry about what else Sierra had done to bully her. She and Luka immediately fixed Luna up with a boyfriend to keep a watch over her and so far, Luna's been very happy with the match up.

Lily, the most deluded girl Anne had the unfortunate experience of meeting. Anne never liked the way Lily wore her skirt so high, that Anne actually saw her pink panties once. Anne saw that she often fussed about with her make-up in the mirrors of the gym that they used for trampolining. And she wore jewellery, which really irritated Anne because the sporting classes would always get interrupted because their teachers would tell her time and again to take her jewellery off unless she wanted to be in hospital. Anne then began to despise her when she found out that she was cyber bullying poor Hikari after school and posting pictures of her naked online. Lily was suspended when the teachers found out and Anne found out that her parents were rich enough to keep her in the school instead of flapping about to find another one to put her in. Anne and Jade eventually found someone to keep an eye over Hikari. She often got into arguments with him though and Anne highly doubts that the relationship will last long.

Britney, the most flirtatious and irritating girl Anne had ever met. Her face was always, always caked in make-up. She often spent her time on her phone whenever she wasn't firing an arrow in the archery range or racing anyone in athletics. Whenever Anne asked to time her in sprinting, she would give her a dirty look. Anne honestly couldn't see why she was so hostile to her and not the other girls but eventually gave in and began disliking her. She began disliking the blonde even more when poor Hayley was the victim of rumours that had been started by her. It turned out that the little blunette had been going out with someone outside of the school and Britney had been trying to grab that boy's attention for a long time. So out of spite, Britney had rumours going on that Hayley would spread her legs for anyone because she was a cheap porn star. Some actually believed the rumours and there was an incident when all the immature boys in Hayley's form began throwing Gil at her, jeering and shouting at her for her 'services'. Anne eventually cleared the whole thing up with Hayley's brother, Joel, by following Hayley into her form room the next day and kicking all of them in the nuts. Dr Hollander gave them a detention when he discovered them but it was worth it. Hayley was allowed to take an early vacation from school to escape from the bullying and have some alone time with her family.

Isabella, Seito's ex-girlfriend before he realised that he was gay. Anne always saw her in her form class putting make-up on herself, brushing her bright ginger curls and giving glares to Damon whenever she had the chance. She was pretty miffed when Seito dumped her for Damon and had been planning to steal him back for a while now. That's when she began hanging out with the popular girls and began to wear shorts skirts and too much make-up. She was such a drama queen too, Anne often wondered why she never continued Drama. She would always make a scene if her lipstick was smudged or if she broke a nail, it gave Anne a headache. It gave Mr Valentine a headache too, considering he had to deal with her twice every day at registration. Anne understood how much of a shock Isabella must have gone through since Seito dumped her for a boy. But it didn't excuse her behaviour afterwards. Anne personally tried to console her but got waved off immediately.

Dakota, Damon's stalker. Dakota has had a crush on poor Damon for a long time now. Damon was bisexual so he was interested in girls but because he had Seito, he has been committed to that relationship and never had any interest in her. Dakota did confront him with his feelings and he did let her down nicely, confirming that he would rather stay committed to Seito instead of going behind his back. Of course Dakota was more than a little upset about this and denied Damon's proposal to stay being friends. It was either her or Seito but Seito quickly confirmed that Damon was always going to choose him and never her. Bit of a bad mistake, considering Dakota has a reputation for overreacting slightly whenever she didn't get her way. Seito had to endure her wails for about a week until she finally calmed down. Anne honestly couldn't understand why she and Damon can't just be friends. Damon was a very friendly guy and he didn't ever intend to hurt anyone's feelings at all.

And finally, the ringleader, Daisy, the second best jockey in their horse-riding class. Daisy had always looked up to Sky and always wanted to be as good as him. She's a bit of a gossip girl since she got an award in journalism when she was a reporter for the school newspaper. She was one of Asa's top customers which spread a bit of rumours through the school but Asa quickly cleared it up to establish that Daisy only paid him in money, nothing else. Anne was aware that Daisy was upset because Sky accepted the proposal of going on a date with her, Anne just needed to tell her that it didn't go that well and hopefully the whole 'slut' thing should be cleared up.

Anne nodded to herself and stood up to face the girls.

"Good afternoon, Daisy," she said and paled slightly when she realised that all the girls were taller than her "Uh…"

She swallowed when she saw Sierra crack her knuckles and hunched her shoulders.

"I don't like Sky that way anymore so you can leave me alone!" she blurted out and Daisy just smirked.

"Yeah, right," she scoffed "I'm not here about Sky."

"We're here about the other boys that you've slept with," Britney smirked and Anne swallowed softly.

"I haven't slept with anyone," she said calmly.

"Yeah? What about Vincent?" Dakota sneered.

"Sleepover. It was just a friend's sleepover."

"But you could have just gone home like you normally do," Isabella raised an eyebrow.

"Sephiroth knows where I live, I didn't want to go home to face any more bullying…"

"Is something the matter, ladies?"

The group seemed to shrink back as the door opened and Sephiroth and Vincent Valentine came out. Sephiroth went behind Anne, placing his hands on her shoulders protectively. Daisy noticed the gesture and gave a sweet smile.

"Is it true that you two are going out?" she asked.

Vincent and Anne said no while Sephiroth said yes at the same time, making the girls giggle. Anne and Vincent directed their red eyes to Sephiroth to give him a glare while Sephiroth just smirked.

"We've started going out during lunchtime, I believe," Sephiroth began playing with Anne's hair absent-mindedly "Do tell all the boys that so they can keep away from her."

"Yes," Vincent suddenly cut in "tell all of them so no-one will think that she's the 'Queen of Sluts' may I quote?"

Daisy swallowed as Sierra nodded stiffly.

"Certainly," she said "we shall go now to enjoy our free period."

The girls went off around the corner and Sephiroth smirked at his father.

"You're quick to change your mind," he commented, rubbing Anne's shoulder idly.

"If it will ward off any rumours surrounding someone from my form then I suppose I should let you two have a relationship," Vincent muttered and Sephiroth chuckled.

"You just adore Anne as much as I do," he smirked and picked up Anne "Time to get you changed into your dance clothes."

"H-Hey wait!" Anne squealed and wriggled around "You're not allowed in the girl's changing room!"

"Everyone's in lessons, no-one will see me," Sephiroth gave a devious smirk and Anne paled.

Is this relationship really a good idea?
