Take Me Out
Summery:
Rinoa's the new student at school. She be-friends a lively girl on her first day and they become best friends. But what happens when Rinoa falls for the stubborn, obnoxious, but coolest guy in school?
Okay this is my third fic, and this might sound a little stupid but I spent days trying to find a title for this! And finally I thought of one! Well obviously..
Anyway I'm going to stop babbling on insanely and get on with it. I hope you all enjoy it and please Review!
"Now are you sure you've got everything?" General Caraway to his daughter.
"Dad, I'm 17 I think I can organize myself." Rinoa said with a great amount of sarcasm.
Rinoa Heartilly was a typical 17-year-old girl, whose father had just been given a job promotion in a different town and Rinoa was forced to move away from her friends back Timber and was now being forced again to do something she didn't want to. That was go to school. She wouldn't know anyone there she thought, so what was the point? And what was he thinking anyway? Asking her if she was organized? Of course she was! She had been able to organize her since she was5 when her mother died and her father was away a lot. Taking part in wars.
General Caraway pulled up outside the school, which was as Rinoa thought as big as an airfield. Like they always were in these big cities.
"Dad? Do I really have to go?" Rinoa asked wearily
"Yes Rinoa. I will not have another argument about this." He said firmly and if that was case closed.
"Whatever." She said, opening the door and swinging her legs out, throwing her school bag on her back.
"Don't you speak to me like that young lady." General Caraway stated firmly
"Whatever" She said again slamming the car door and stalking off.
Honestly, she thought. I'm not a child.
She was so angry with her father, that she didn't pay attention to where she was going and walked straight into a girl, and both of them dropped their books.
"Sorry!" Said Rinoa bending down to help the girl gather up her work.
"Hey, never mind," The girl, said standing up again.
Rinoa stood up too and noticed that the girl was smiling at her, instead of scowling. When she was the new girl in her last school everyone had scowled and laughed at her. But there this girl was standing there smiling and being genuinely friendly.
"I'm Selphie Timlitt by the way," she said holding out her hand.
"Nice to meet you Selphie, I'm Rinoa Heartilly," I say smiling back at her and shaking her hand.
"Oh so your Rinoa!" She says
Here it comes, I thought the scowl and then the pretending like I don't matter and that im not actually there, like I'm some kind of daydream.
"I've been waiting for you for ages," she says smiling once again "I was assigned to show you around because your timetable is the partially the same as mine. And I thought you were going to be one of these really solemn kids, that's so depressed because they've moved school so much. Not that I'm saying you should be depressed or anything!" She says quickly
I laugh, for the first time in my life I laugh genuinely.
"Hey its no problem." I say smiling.
"Well the bells about to ring," she say beckoning me to follow her. And I do.
"Hey Rin, you don't mind if I call you Rin do you?" She asks, and I shake my head at her.
"Well, are we friends?" Selphie says earnestly
I think about this for a while. I mean yeah it's a stupid thing to do seen, as this girl has just asked to be my friend on the first day at school. But I've had this happen to me before. The previous school I went too, the girl assigned to show me around said she wanted to be my friend and then when I saw again at break she said that she didn't know who I was or where I came from and suggested I get lost. So naturally I don't trust people on first meetings. But Selphie seemed genuine enough.
"Sure Selph, you don't mind if I call you Selph do you?" I ask grinning.
She laughs"Of course not Rin." And she links arms with me and we walk arm in arm to our first lesson.
Maybe this wasn't going to be such a bad day after all.I had first two lessons with Selphie and break and then she had maths and I had English. She directed me towards the English classroom and said she'd see me at lunch. So I walked down the corridor and took a left turn like she'd told me too.
And sure enough there was Room 14. My English room, students were entering already so I supposed I had better find a good seat preferably one near the back.
So I entered the room without looking at anyone and walked straight to the back of the classroom where there were at least four empty seats. And I sat right in the middle one. Keeping your head down was what I learnt in the past 14 schools I've been too. So I did. Then the teacher eneterd ready to begin her lesson.
"Class, we have a new student today. Her name is Rinoa Heartilly. And no you all don't need to turn around and look at her. I'm sure she'd rather not have your ugly faces staring at her. So Welcome Rinoa, were on page 15 of the poetry handbook. The rest of you please go back to your essays. That will be all for this lesson. Any problems come and ask me please, don't ask your neighbour because I'm sure they are as dim-witted as yourself. " And she sat down immediately after this and took out a pen and a piece of paper and began writing.
Wow, I thought. This woman is brilliant, any normal teacher would have had me stand at the front and make a complete spectacle of myself. Anyway seen as she did me a favour, I'd better start reading this book.
I opened to the page that I was supposed to be reading. I gotten half way down the page, when I was distracted by someone opening the door. In he walked. He had floppy brown hair, that hung neatly just above his forehead and stuck out a bit the front. He was wearing a black jacket and black jeans, with a white t-shirt.
"Ah, Squall." She said, " Where have you been?"
"I don't know, around." Said the boy
"Well if your place 'around' keeps on coming up in these conversations then I will have to talk to your parents, wont I?" said the teacher; I really should learn her name some day.
"Whatever," said the boy, hoisting up his bag and walking towards me!
Me! He's walking this way! And he's almost in front of me!
He reached me and just stood there looking down at me, and I up at him.
"Your in my seat." He said.
"And?" I said, " I don't see your name printed on the chair or the desk"
I didn't mean to do it! He's probably gonna start yelling at me now. I mean he seems the type and besides I am in his seat or say he says. But instead he shrugs, and smiles then says
"Fair enough, funnily I can't see it printed there either. Maybe I should do that next lesson. Remind me will you?"
He smiles again and then he takes the seat next to me and he gets a book and a pen out and sits there reading it!
My mouth hung open literally! I mean I was so rude and sarcastic! Any normal person would have started yelling at me. Anyway I look back around at the rest of the class and some of them are looking at me open mouthed and some are just staring at that guy, whats his name Squall, I think she said his name was.
Everyone sat in silence for the rest of the lesson, some of them whispering and looking around at me. At 12:30 the bell rang for lunch. I had a double lesson and I was shattered! Anyway I went back around to my locker, where Selphie was already waiting.
"So, how'd it go?" she asked looking concerned.
I opened my mouth to reply, when that guy walked around the corner and smiled at me then said
"Your pretty sarcastic for the newgirl you know."
"Well you'd better get used to it hadn't you?" I say back and he walks off.
I looked back at Selphie, who was staring opened mouthed at me.
"What?" I asked
"You just bad-mouthed Squall!" She said looking horrified
"And?" I say shrugging "Your point is exactly?" I say laughing
Selphie laughs too. She links my arm and we go to the cafeteria laughing our heads off.
Well I hope that wasn't too bad. Please Review!
