A/N: Chapter Three is up! Just to let people know, school's started so I won't be able to update that often.

R&R! Enjoy!

As I walk into French, I feel everyone's eyes on me. I look at the teacher at the front of the classroom and smile. She smiles back at me.

"Hello, My name is Miss Ediltrude. You must be Miss Cheffriz." I walk up to her and shake her hand.

"Yes, that's me." She shows me to my seat which is in between a blonde haired girl and an orange haired girl. In front of me is a magenta haired boy.

We get into the lesson and I find that my language studies have really paid off.

I sit waiting for her to carry on talking while the others write but she doesn't. She starts walking around the room and stops at the desk in front of me.

"Jeffreys," she says sternly, knowing he isn't paying attention. "How do you translate 'J'adore jouer à des jeux vidéo'?" She asks in her American accent. Her French sounds hilarious. Her eyes are on him and him only. Everyone else can be dancing or fighting and she won't have known. So I lean forward just an inch. No reaction from her. I lean forward some more. I lean forward until my breath is tickling his ear.

"I love playing video games." I hiss. I sit back in my chair. I have done my part. Now he has to do his. I told him the answer and now he has to say it. I don't know if he heard me or if he will ignore me but I cannot do anymore.

"Jeffreys, if you don't know, just say so. Your wasting everyone's time." Miss Ediltrude scolds, even more stern than before. And he says my answer! He heard and he listened. I claim a miracle! I breathe out and grin. Then, I feel a nudge on my arm. I look to my left and see the blonde smirking at me.

"Don't grin like that. Makes you look like a numpty. But then you are. Who in their right mind would want to help Riven?!" She and the other girl to my right burst out laughing. My cheeks turn red.

"Diaspro, that was a good one!" The orange haired girl screeches in between laughs.

"Yes, Amaryl! I know it was!" She gains control again and resumes smirking.

"Girls! Enough! Stay behind at lunch!" Miss Ediltrude shouts. It's their turn to turn bright red. The bell rings and I walk out of the classroom, not being able to smirk back at Diaspro and Amaryl.

As I meet up with Bloom and Layla who very kindly wait for me, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn and see the magenta haired boy, something Jeffreys, if I remember correctly. "Thanks for the save, Cheffriz." He says. His voice is stiff and monotonous. Before I can answer, he walks away. Bloom and Layla erupt into a fit of giggles. I raise my eyebrow.

"What?" I demand.

"You helped Riven?" Layla asks incredulously.

"And? I helped a guy in need."

"Flora, Flora, Flora." Layla shakes her head. "Riven Jeffreys is the guy who makes fun of everyone for the sake of it. He sticks out his foot to trip people up for no good reason. He spreads rumours, he laughs-" I get exasperated and cut her off.

"OK, Layla, I think I get the gist. So Mr Jeffreys isn't the friendliest person on Earth."

"More like the most evil!" She scoffs. "Why you helped him I know not."

"I help anyone who needs it." I defend myself.

"Come on, let's go get our lunch." Bloom interrupts before we can argue.

"Yeah, let's. I'm starving." I say.

In the cafeteria, I pick out peas, sweet corn and chips. I walk to the nearest desk and lay out my books to save seats for Bloom and Layla. I hear a voice behind me.

"Seriously, Flora, is that all?" I turn my head to find my sister with a brown haired girl and a black haired girl.

"I had to save a table." I say honestly.

"Who's this, Flo?" I hear Layla say. I see her and Bloom sitting opposite me.

"Girls, this is my sister, Miele. Miele, these are my friends Bloom and Layla." I point to each girl as I say their name.

"Hi!" Miele, Bloom and Layla greet.

"How are you liking Sacred Heart?" I ask Miele. She smiles wanly.

"S'OK." She shrugs. "Midnight Mountain was better though. That Griffin lady shouted at me because I said hi to Lauren." She seemed to smile at this point.

"Yeah, she did the same to me. Don't worry about her Miele." I pat her on the head.

"OK, I gotta go get lunch. I'm starved. Bye Flora!" She runs off and follows her friends.

"Miele?!" I call after her, remembering something.

"Yes Flora?" She scurries back.

"Meet me by the North Gate after school." She nods and walks off.

"Your sister's sweet." Bloom tells me.

"Yeah. She's my... life support." I mumble hesitantly.

"Life support?" Bloom asks. I sigh. I opened my mouth. Moron.

"I... promise not to tell?" I ask. They both nod sincerely. "I've... had suicidal thoughts. I very nearly killed myself once and it was because of her that I'm here." I explain.

"She saved you?" Bloom asks, with a look of shock on her face.

"More reasoned with me. She told me she'd be alone if I wasn't there." I smile, remembering her words.

"If you don't mind, why did you try to kill yourself?" Layla asks. I look down at my food and blush.

"I will tell you guys but not today. I'm not ready yet." I decide.

"Hey, that's fine. You tell us whenever you feel like it." Bloom tells me. I smile gratefully at her.

"We got Technology next, haven't we?" I ask.

"Yes. Computing. Design is on Friday, remember?"

Layla says.

The bell goes for fifth period and I clear away my dishes and cutlery. I gather my books and papers and follow Bloom and Layla out of the cafeteria. I haven't even made it to the door when I feel a sharp jab in my back. I stumble and fall face flat on to the hard wooden floor. My eyes cloud over and my elbows and knees throb as I struggle to sit up. When I do, I am distraught by what I see.

A/N: Hi again, faithful readers! Here we are at the end of chapter three!

Next chapter we meet Tecna and Musa but not how Flora expects. We also see the outer side of Riven Jeffreys. I say outer and I know I say outer. That'll be clearer later in the story. R&R!

Can I have reviews telling me how I did? Not just reviews telling me to hurry? Because I am really busy with revision and exams and all and I'll update when I have time. Sorry for the rant.

Ciao, peeps!
