High School Musical

P.S.- This does not have anything to do with the movie. I just thought it was a good name.

Disclaimer- I do not own Final Fantasy 7, nor any of their characters. In fact, the only thing I actually own is my computer…I think.

Tifa Lockhart woke up and looked at the clock. It read 8:07. Shit, she thought. New school year, last year of high school, then…freedom.

Well, not exactly.

But close enough anyways.

She crawled off her bed and walked over to her walk-in closet. She picked a yellow spaghetti strap shirt off the floor and thought, Damn Yuffie…she must’ve done this the last time she came to my house…. Taking a sleek, black long t-shirt off one of the hangers, she thought, Hm…not bad, not bad at all…. She grabbed a pair of her jeans off her shelf, and went into the washroom and closed the door.

Five minutes later, she walked out of the washroom. She had slipped on a pair of silver hoops, dabbed a bit of blush on her cheeks, added a bit of black mascara, and slipped on some clear lip gloss. Perfect, she thought. This would definitely catch the eyes of the boys. She was hoping to get a serious boyfriend this year, unlike the other ones. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and answered. “Hello?”

“Hey Teef, it’s Aerith.” Aerith Gainsborough was her best friend and almost like the sister she never had.

“Oh, hey Aerith, ready for school?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Listen, do you need a ride for school? Because Zack can pick you up with his new car. He’s been showing it off all summer. It ticks me off!”

Tifa smiled. It was so like Zack to be doing that. “I don’t mind. When will he be here?”

“Um… about…8:15?”

“’Kay, see you then!”

“Bye, Tifa.”

Tifa hung up and glanced the clock briefly. It read 8:13. “Shit!” she said out loud and rushed to the door, taking her TNA bag with her. She slipped into a pair of Gucci shoes and rushed out the door.

“Hey, hot stuffs.” Zack smirked at her as she got onto his car. She ignored him. She couldn’t understand how Aerith could stand him. She smiled at Aerith, buckled her seatbelt, and Zack was rushing down the street. He drifted and stop the car abruptly. “There ya go, ladies. I’ll be there in a minute.” Zack rushed off as soon as Tifa slammed the door shut.

“How do you stand him, Aerith?” Tifa grumbled as they walked up the steps of the school.

"I dunno, he has a really sweet side sometimes. Like when I nearly broke up with him. He was practically in tears." Aerith explained.

Tifa laughed as she leaned against her new locker. Boys were all checking her out. She was rated the hottest senior in the school, with Aerith and Yuffie tied for second. She was used to the stares.

Then she saw him.

Him was Cloud Strife. She had a crush on him ever since she knew him. He was in a band with Zack, Vincent Valentine, Cid Highwind, Barret Wallace, and some dude called Sephiroth. Aerith smiled, knowing that she was looking at Cloud.

Tifa loved every bit of him. His hair, which was blond and stayed up in gravity defying spikes, his mako-blue eyes, which were endless, and even his mischevious personality in class. He was the bass guitarist and the lead singer, and she thought he was pretty good.

Tifa's POV

OMG. It's Cloud Strife. The guy that I like, oh my gawd, what should I do? Aerith, Levitatian, God, anyone, give me advice. Gawd, I'm sounding like a schoolgirl seeing a hot guy on the streets.

End POV

Cloud's POV

Is that Tifa Lockhart? The hottest girl in the school? Gawd...she is hot. I don't think she likes me, though. I've seen her with Reno a couple of times, but then she dumped him.

End POV

"Hey, Tifa!" A cheerful voice broke her out of her thoughts. A happy Yuffie Kisagari was dragging her boyfriend Vincent across the room, trying to get him to follow her. Yuffie finally gave up and Vincent went to join the guys, while she happily bounded over. Gawd, Tifa thought, she's like a kid with chocolate and candy and chips altogether. "Still thinking about Spikey?" Tifa took a quick glance at him and nodded. "Oh geez, Tifa! Why don't you go and ask him out? That's what I did with Vinnie." Vincent, who had awsome hearing, heard her nickname and winced. All the other guys turned their heads to look at the girls. At the same time, Tifa caught notice of a poster that said:

"Talent Show September 26, Thursday

Auditions start today

Show the real talent in you!"

Tifa regarded it for a few seconds, and turned back to Aerith and Yuffie. "I'm auditioning." she said with a big smile. The smile started to spread to Yuffie and Aerith's faces. Aerith squealed and said, "That's awsome! Are you planning to sing? If you are," without waiting for Tifa to answer she continued, "You gotta sing Break It Off, Daddy's Little Girl, Say It Right, or Save A Life." Tifa laughed and said, "You're right, I am. I'm planning to sing Break It Off." Yuffie gawked at her. "You actually have the guts to sing something that dirty on stage in front of teachers?" Unfortuantatly, she was a little too loud...

"Sing what?" A familiar masculine voice floated over.

Stay tuned! Find out next time who the owner of the voice is!
