Midgar High School

It's Friday night, before homecoming and life will never be the same. Things happened that I didn't know were possible, and I was basically sober. Things are changing, the order of life is changing and it makes me feel strangely excited.

I don't really mind change, I just don't need it. I'm so happy with my life, you see, that… well, I don't pay attention that some people need things to change. Three things changed tonight at that game, three people are never going to be the same, maybe more than three, if you include Elena and Zack.

I don't have much time, I have to pick up Nanaki for the dance, but I want to get this down before I forget because I'm so excited for them. For Reno, for Sephiroth and for Shera. Maybe Shera most of all.

She was talkative, she was funny, and she was everything that she'd hidden away from herself. And it made me SO happy to see it. Happy enough to jump on Vincent and fix his messy hair and bug him to come to the party. He's coming, by the way, and maybe he and Tifa will let me take pictures of them?

But back to Shera. She had this light in her eyes that was something new. She was alive and daring and I really think that Shera is going to stand up and be Shera to the world now. Somehow she snagged up Zack's wonderful personality and Elena's bravery and she's running with them. I'm so happy for her; she's finally going to make her choices.

And that makes me think about Sephiroth. Reno called it, he threw that football game. With scouts from all the colleges here and everything. Sephiroth Dio threw a football game. He hasn't lost a game in three years, why the first one of his senior year, arguably the most important game of his life so far?

And why did Reno care? I know he told me he didn't, but he got angry with me, and while I feel really bad about that, and I am going to have to make sure he still likes me the next time I see him, I don’t know WHY he cared.

Those two are confusing me right now. Someone told me they saw Seph drive off with a red head. Why would they be anywhere near each other? Seph lives just across the street and while I saw Dio running for his life from Jenova, I haven't seen Sephiroth at all.

I wonder what's going on?

I'd be worried, but something tells me that this is for the better. Maybe I'm just that happy for Shera.
