Chapter 1
A blond girl clutches her books tightly to her chest as she is standing before the gigantic building that, as of today, is going to be her new high school for the years to come.
Why is she here again? Oh, yeah, because Cloud, her father, doesn't feel good about leaving her in a school, or a town, where she won’t be having extra protection, that's why.
She takes a deep breath as the huge school gate greets her as a new student. Countless of students are walking through the school gates, laughing and idly talking with their companions. Naminé trembles nervously. She always feels uncomfortable around strangers.
“Good luck, kid. Remember, Tifa's here if you need anything.” Says Cloud before driving off. Her last source of strength, gone…
Naminé breathes in the air outside the school gates, trying to calm herself, she is feeling so nervous and petrified, walking around this new environment. Some students eye her curiously as she walks past them. Naminé hears them whispering and looking her way, but she keeps her head low, trying desperately to avoid eye contact.
She walks slowly toward the school lockers to get her books and schedule, trying to stay out of sight as much as possible, merging with the shadows. Why does it feel like the whole world is watching every step she makes?
She breathes in again, trying to calm her heart beat down, oh great, it's becoming harder to breathe as well. At times like this, she'd usually take out her sketch book and draw to relieve her stress. But there's no time now. As she is contemplating this in her head, a group of friends arrive at the spot near her locker. She peeks cautiously from behind her locker, there stands two boys, one of them is chubby and kind of short looking boy with black hair and a friendly smile. The other is taller, a bit, with messy blond hair and a playful smirk on his lips. The final person is a cute looking girl with brown hair.
"I'm in all of Olette's classes! YESS!!” The blond with messy hair exclaims happily, punching the air.
"And why are you so happy about it, Hayner? You've always considered me boring!” the girl, Olette, crosses her arms in front of her, glaring at Hayner.
The blond shrugs, “I still consider you boring, but having you in the same class has its privileges.”
The brunette raises an eye-brow, “huh?”
"It means, he's gunna spend all year copying your homework and cheating off your tests... just like he used to in middle school.” The chubby one explains, in a matter of fact tone.
Hayner panics as Olette sends him a death glare, “So that's why you hung around with me in the first place!”
"N-no! That's not it, well kind of...” he gulps as Olette's eyes narrows, “b-but I do think you're cute!”
The three of them freeze. Hayner curses himself quietly, Pence hides a growing smile, while Olette blushes profusely.
"W-where did that come from?” Olette stutters, trying to stop herself from blushing.
Hayner shakes his head sheepishly. “Forget it. Let's get ready for class.”
Just as they pass their lockers, they hear a low thud coming from their right side, a blond girl kneeling on the floor to pick up a book she dropped. Olette hurries and picks it up for her, smiling sweetly. “Here you go!” she hands it over to her. The girl bows her head timidly, mumbling a barely audible 'thanks'.
Olette looks at her curiously, she then reaches out her hand to help her up. “Hi there, my name is Olette.”
The shy girl looks at her hand warily, then slowly reaches up and takes it. “What's your name?” asks Olette.
"N-Na- Naminé,” she replies, trying to avoid eye contact. Olette smiles at how shy and adorable the blonde girl is. “Oh, and this is Hayner and Pence!” she introduces her best friends standing curiously behind her. Naminé merely nods, looking timidly at the floor.

Meanwhile, at the school gate..
"Sora, tell me again why exactly are you hiding behind me?” A red-headed girl glares at the brunette standing so uncomfortably close behind her.
"The fangirls Kairi, the fangirls!” Says the spiky-haired boy quietly, looking from side to side, as if a random fangirl will jump at him from nowhere at any second.
Kairi sweat-drops. “Hiding behind me is useless, Sora. How many times did I tell you that?”
"If a random fan girl attacks me, you'll protect me, right? You're the only one who can take them down!” he gulps as he sees a gush of fan girls run toward their direction. “I'm counting on you!”
The fangirls surround a tall silver-haired teen standing a bit farther ahead. They squeal annoyingly as he waves at them.
Sora peeks from Kairi's shoulder, “I wonder how Riku is able to control them. Amazing!”
Kairi shakes her head, “Let's just go already!” she walks ahead, leaving a frightened Sora behind, “Aaah! Kairi! Don't leave meee!” he runs after her, taking side glances with every step.

Seifer Almasy, the biggest bully in the entire school approaches Hayner, Pence and Olette near the mysterious blonde girl's locker.
He flashes a teasing smirk as soon as he stands before them, his two followers; Fuu and Rai, behind him. When Hayner's group notices him, they glare hatefully at their long-time enemies.
"What do you want, Seifer?” Hayner hisses dangerously.
Seifer shrugs coolly, “Oh, nothing, just here to meet the loser who'd talk to you, lamers.” He glances at a frightened looking Naminé hiding behind Olette. His smirk grows bigger. "What are you doing hanging out with those losers, cutie?”
"You can come hang out with us, y'know?” Rai, one of his followers says. The third follower, a strange looking girl, simply nods.
"Shut up! Get lost you freaks?!” Hayner yells at them, a vein almost popping out of his forehead. He is known for his ill-temper. “Calm down, Hayner!” Pence pleads patting his enraged friend's shoulder. Olette senses a fight coming, she fears Hayner will get in trouble, and on his first day at High school, that won't be good.
"Please leave, Seifer. We don't want any trouble!” She says, looking pleadingly at the older blond. Seifer castes a curious glance at Olette, then shrugs and walks off. “Let's go, these losers aren't worth the trouble.” he tells his followers before leaving the scene.
As soon as they leave, Hayner turns angrily at Olette. “I can't believe you let them go, Olette! And what's with that look ya gave him!?”
Olette is taken aback by his outburst, “What 'look'?” she asks skeptically.
Hayner grits his teeth, trying to control his anger. “Whatever! Forget it!” he turns the other way and head-butts the locker, frightening the blonde girl. The other two seem accustomed to it, they just roll their eyes.
"It's strange...” Pence muses out loud. His two pals look at him curiously, Naminé still recovering from the sudden fright. “He actually listened to Olette, don't you find that strange?”
Hayner frowns, “What, do you think he likes her?! Impossible!”
Olette pouts, hands on her hips, “And why is that impossible? Am I that ugly to you?”
Hayner panics again, he is never good with words. Especially around Olette. But she looks utterly cute with that pouting face of hers. He blushes at his thoughts, “D-don't make that face!”
Olette pouts harder, “What face?! You're so weird, Hayner! Seriously!”
"THAT FACE! Just stop it!!” Hayner snaps.
Pence sweat-drops as he watches the two get into a cat fight. 'Why won't they admit they like each other already?'
Naminé watches them curiously yet, at the same time, with fascination. These people are so strange to her. She isn't very social. Most of the time Naminé likes to be alone, preferably somewhere secluded from noise, or maybe in a quiet corner by herself.
Suddenly, the place gets extremely noisy. The sounds of squealing fan girls can be heard from all angles of the hallway. Naminé turns around, curious on what the commotion is about.
Sora is clinging onto Kairi in a death grip. “Kairi, don't ever leave me again! I can't survive here without you!”
Kairi sighs. “You're a big boy now Sora! You can manage.” Sora shakes his head vehemently. “No I can't! Those fangirls would eat me alive!”
“Why don't you go annoy Riku for a change?” Kairi says, annoyed.
Sora's face pales in fear, “NO!! Riku is a danger zone. He is surrounded by fangirls! 24/7! It's so much safer with you, Kairi. You kick butt!”
Kairi shakes her head. “Fine! Just shut up for at least 10 minutes so I can read my schedule, in peace!” She snaps as they reach their locker, which happens to be not so far away from Naminé and Hayner's groups’ location.
"Fine!” Sora says with a pout. They check their schedules together. Sora isn't too happy with the results. “This sucks! I have only one class with you!” He says, frowning. Kairi giggles, “Tell me what you have!”
"I have English, Art, Math’s, PE, History and Science! See, we only share PE! Bummer…” He says, frowning deeper.
Kairi smiles encouragingly at him “Cheer up. You might share some with Riku.”
Naminé 's eyes start expanding as she checks her schedule; it is as if the boy talking to that red-headed girl over there is reading out of HER schedule. She turns around to check if he is peeking at her paper or not.
"That’s Sora Leonhart, Kairi Kimaru and of course, Riku Yoshida.” Olette says, suddenly she and her friends are right next to Naminé, who nearly jumps at her voice.
"...the most popular group at school.” Pence silently adds.
"They've had their own fanclubs, too. Ever since middle school!” Hayner says, shaking his head. “Pretty annoying if you ask me.”
Naminé wonders why they are telling her all this. Olette seems to be able to read her mind because she suddenly says, “I caught you looking at them. Sora in particular. Though I don't blame you, he's super cute.” Hayner isn't too happy with Olette's last comment, he looks pretty annoyed.
Naminé panics. “N-no... that's not it... I-it's j-just t-that... um,” she glances down at her schedule, and freezes when realization hit her. She shares all of her classes with one of the most popular guys at school!
"Are you OK Naminé? You look a little pale.” Olette asks worriedly. Naminé shakes her head and stuffs her schedule inside the locker.
The bell rings, Hayner and his friends say their goodbyes and rush to their own classes, while Naminé heads out to her English class. Sora really is in all her classes. He is a unique person in class, she is forced to admit, the girls love him. Even the boys. He is generally nice and sweet, although he is also loud, annoying, and lazy, she mentally adds. He sleeps in most classes and he some times causes lots of racket.
Naminé always prefers to sit in the back of the classroom, a common place for shy people, she watches Sora, who surprisingly, sits not too far in front of her, drooling on his books in deep sleep. He isn't especially smart, in-fact he is FAR from smart, Naminé notes. The only class he shines in is PE. He is an exceptional basket ball player, along with Riku.
Sora, Kairi and Riku are incredibly popular, in the cafeteria, lots of people hang out around their table. Naminé, however, doesn't like commotion, she prefers peace and quiet, and so she mostly hangs around the roof-top alone, or go to the library, where she meets Olette sometimes. Olette isn't exactly her friend, per say, but she is the only person she dares to speak to, so far. Naminé, as one notices, is an incredibly anti-social person. She doesn't feel comfortable around strangers usually, but amazingly, she feels comfortable around Olette, more so than the rest at least. Sadly, she only shares one class with her. Math’s. Hayner and Pence are there too of course.
Naminé loves Art class the most, to her that can never change, even now. Drawing is her escape. When she draws something, she relieves herself stress and insecurities around people. Of course, Sora is in this class, too. And so far, Naminé notes, he never seems to sit too far away from her. Then suddenly, the teacher enters the room, holding his head high, the class has started.
"Good morning, class. Today we're doing a project in pairs." he announces.
Sora gulps as all of a sudden, the fangirls leap out of their seats toward their defenseless prey, and bombard him with pleads to be their partner.
"Sora! I wanna be your partner!”
“Sora pick me!”
“Sora-kuun!”
“Would you be my partner, Sora?”
“No, pick me, Sora-kun!”
Sora can't say no, but he isn't sure who exactly to pick or who is shouting what, there are too many of them. “Uh...” he feels himself sweating.
The teacher clears his throat, but no one seems to notice. He clears it over, and over, and over again, yet, still, it is barely audible through the fangirls begging. Sora tries to reach out for air as the fangirls pile over him, suffocating him.
"GIRLS! GET BACK TO YOUR SEATS IMMEDIATLY!” The teacher yells, losing his patience. The entire class freeze, Sora is finally able to breathe again as the fangirls slowly start to disperse one after another. He breaths a sigh of relief. Naminé pities him, if she is in his position, she will literally faint from all the attention. Being popular must suck.
The teacher clears his throat again, “I will be the one choosing the pairs!” he exclaims, earning a groan from the fangirls. He starts calling out the names. Naminé hopes not to be paired up with Sora. She knows that if she does end up with him, the fangirls will murder her on the spot. Meanwhile, nearby, Sora is practically praying not to be paired up with a fan girl.
As the teacher calls out the names for the pairings, everyone tenses in the suspense. The fangirls who don’t end up being paired with Sora sulk in their seats, engulfed in misery. Naminé sighs with relief when she discovers she isn't paired up with Sora, her partner comes up towards her, a clearly depressed fangirl, she relaxes. Safe. The moment almost everyone is expecting is here. Sora's name is called.
“Sora Leonhart and... hmm...where was I again?” the teacher murmurs, checking his clipboard, the anticipating fangirls curse at him to continue under their breath, leaning over the edge of their seats. The teacher finally looks up and says, “Sora Leonhart and Lana Tsukiko!”
Lana squeals with delight as she skips happily toward a groaning Sora. 'NOOO! NOT A FANGIRL!!' he sighs inwardly and lets his head fall on the desk. The other fangirls hiss in the background, glaring daggers at the Lana girl as she wraps her arms around Sora's forcefully.
"Lucky bitch!”
“Waah! I wanted to be with Sora-kun!”
“Nooo!”
“I hope that bitch dies!!”
Naminé sweat-drops at the scene, is she the ONLY person here who is NOT obsessed about Sora, besides the boys? The 'lucky' girl clings onto Sora possessively, showing off a teasing 'I-win-in-your-faces-bitches!' smirk to every glaring fangirl. Poor Sora is tense the entire time, but as soon as the bell rings, he makes a dash for the door. The entire army of fangirls that’s in this class starts to run after him at full speed.
Soon, Naminé is the only one left in the room. She's truly glad she isn't in his shoes, as she pictures a cornered Sora surrounded by fangirls at every turn he makes.

It is PE and Sora's sitting on one of the benches, waiting for Kairi and Riku who are still changing in the lockers room. His eyes start to twitch as he spots the fangirls in his class standing not too far, glaring at him like hawks, and snickering. Then they slowly advance towards him, their prey. Sora gulps. 'Kairiii hurry up!' he mentally screams.
“Hey, Sora-kun. What are you doing...?” They ask, giggling like the crazy fangirls they are.
“Uh, just chillin'...” He says carefully. The fangirls squeal in delight and gather around Sora. Then they start barraging him with questions:
“Sora-kun, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Do you like someone, Sora-kun?”
“How about you go out with me?”
“Shut up! Why'd he go out with an ugly bitch like you!?”
Sora spots Riku coming, his male best friend, and shoots him a 'SAVE-ME!' look. Riku sighs, shakes his head, and comes in their direction. Waving coolly, he says, “Hey girls.” They squeal annoyingly as soon as they see him, “It's Riku-sama! Riku-samaa!!”
Riku gives them a seducing smirk, “Would you mind if I talk to my friend alone, ladies?” The fangirls shake their head like idiots, and some of them even swoon on the spot.
Finally, they walk away, still gazing at them from afar though. Sora sighs with exasperation. Riku chuckles at his expression and takes a seat next to him, “Honestly, Sora, they're all just girls. Why are you so scared?” Sora's face turns serious. “They're not just girls. They're demons in human form!”
Riku rolls his eyes at his best friend's naivety. “Just give them a smile, flirt with them a little, and they'll leave you alone. They're easy to handle.”
Sora shivers at the thought of him actually doing that around them. “Easy for you to say! They'd rape and then eat me alive!” Riku shakes his head, surpassing a smile, “You're exaggerating, Sora!”
“Hi guys!” The boys look up to see Kairi with Yuffie Kisaragi, her best friend. Sora and Riku mumble a 'hey' back. Yuffie smiles at Sora, then glares at Riku, who looks at her. She and Riku share a long history together. She hates him because of his sexism and womanizing ways, it disgusts her. Back in middle school, she used to have a major crush on him. But when she finally confessed, he turned her down coldly. She still holds a grudge against him.
Riku smirks, then says sarcastically, “Good to see you too, Yuffie.” Yuffie goes like, “Hmph!” Ignoring him completely. “Love you, too.” Riku bites back, smirk stretching as Yuffie's face goes red tomato. “Sh-shut up, pretty-boy!”
Sora and Kairi watch their love-hate relationship with interest.
“So you think I'm pretty? Interesting...” He winks at her teasingly. She rolls her eyes, and crosses her arms. “Too pretty for a boy, if you ask me...” Kairi decides to butt in before Riku goes any farther, “You two are still as friendly as ever...” She and Sora laugh nervously when Yuffie glares at them.
All of a sudden, the coach blows the whistle and yells at them to line up. Naminé, who is sitting on one of the far benches the entire time, stands in the rear of the line, far away from Sora, his friends, and the fangirls. The coach announces they'll be playing Dodge Ball today. The class groans in response. Naminé pale, she hates violence.
As the coach calls out the names of both teams, Sora falls down in misery. "NOO! I'm against you guys! This is so unfair!!"
Riku and Kairi simply smirk evilly in return, "You're going down Sora! Finally… a chance to get our revenge on you, for annoying the hell out of us these past years!!" They glower menacingly at him as he gulps hard, sweating a bit, and backs out, "Oookayy...I'm gunna go get ready with my team now... G-good luck... ehehe..."
"Murder intent! I'm doomed!" he mutters to himself as he walks toward his team.
“SORA!” He looks up at Yuffie's voice, a grin on his face, “Yuffie! We're on the same team?!” She grins back, winking, “Yep! Let's do our best!” Sora nods, excitement rushing in him, “ALRIGHT!” Yuffie looks at him seriously all of sudden, “We HAVE to win!”
Sora blinks at her, “Eh?”
She pushes a finger in front of his face, eyes on fire, “We MUST win! We can't let Pretty-boy and Kairi beat us!” She says venomously, she then bursts out cackling like a witch, “Riku is sooo dead!” her face turns dangerously dark as she mentions his name. Sora sweat-drops, 'Why is everyone keen on murdering each other today...?'
Naminé is still in the shadows, she soon, however, realizes that she is in the same team as Sora's. As they gather, she inches closer to try to hear about the plan they were talking about, but the fangirls were all over Sora, pushing the other girls out of the way to be able to touch him. So Naminé ends up left out of the circle, then suddenly she hears Sora shout, "Team! ... Go out there and survive!” And then, they start to break up, leaving Naminé with a question mark looming over hear head, she then concludes that, this is the shortest plan ever.
Naminé gets dragged away by the army of fangirls dashing toward the field, so Sora doesn't get a chance to notice her, as a storm of flying balls, screams yelps and more things Naminé can't register fly across the field, she stays out of the spotlight as her comrades fall down in battle. Yuffie gets a ball, and aims it straight at Riku, who spots her, they have a glaring competition in the midst of the battle. Riku starts to smirk, as Yuffie scowl. They start attacking each other, she misses, and growls in frustration, but she dodges his in return, smirking. But, just as she looks up, Kairi's ball clashes with her head and she falls back. Sora runs to her side frantically, picks up her cold body, and shouts, "YUFFIE! SPEAK TO ME!" tears in his eyes, Yuffie looks at him weakly, "S-sora... You... must win... AVENGE ME!" she faints. Sora screams dramatically, "NOOOO!" he sobs over her unconscious body.
Naminé witnesses the entire event, and merely sweat-drops at the drama going on. Sora then turns to face the enemy, his eyes go wide as he sees a ball soaring his way, and he is defenseless!!
Riku, Kairi and Naminé anticipate the moment, however, a random fangirl suddenly flies in the way, her arms in the air, crying, "SORA-KUUNN!!" She moves in front of Sora, gets hit by the ball instead, and falls down in slow motion, face first on the ground.
Naminé sweat-drops, again, as the fangirl on the ground weakly turns to Sora, "S-sora-kun... please... please... try your best...ok?" she spoke weakly.
Sora nods, a bit sheepishly, he appreciates it when others do nice things for him. He smiles at the fallen fangirl warmly; the other fangirls go into a rage of jealousy. So one by one they go flying in front of him, getting hit in his place. In no time, Sora loses nearly all of his team. His head slumps at the outcome, while the guys gawk in amazement. Most of them thinking: 'I wish they'd do that for me!'
There are now five people left in Sora’s team; two fangirls, a random guy, plus Sora and Naminé. In Sora's eyes: "ALRIGHT!! I still have four people remaining! At least I can depend on the random guy to watch my back... YEAH! THAT MEANS I STILL HAVE SOME HOPE!!" He screams out loud, everyone on the field sweat-drop, while Naminé moves away from the clearly hysterical Sora.
Then all of a sudden he looks around to find that all the fangirls are down on the ground, they cry out pathetically, "S-sora-kuuun! Save us!" Riku and Kairi roll their eyes. Sora looks at the random guy, his 'last' hope. Then he looks back at his enemies Riku, Kairi and what's left of their team.
Without warning; there is a hurricane of balls, all aiming at Sora's team, Sora miraculously dodges them all, however his 'last hope' isn't as lucky and gets hit in the heat of the battle. Sora's heart-breaking cry can be heard bouncing off all angles of the field, "NOOOOOO!! IT CAN'T... It just... IT CAN'T BE OVER... it… it just can't...!" He whimpers as he bends on all fours, head low.
Riku has the devil's smirk playing on his lips, Kairi menacingly speaks, "Say your prayers So-ra-kun!!" Making sure she mocks every letter of his name, they jointly throw the ball at their target, Sora makes a dash for it, running as fast as he can, but the ball keeps hunting him, in every turn and direction he ran. Sora pales, "WHAT THE HELL! IMPOSSIB--" BAM! He is knocked out cold, falling on the ground in slow motion, everything turning black, but as he impacts with the ground a faint "ible" is heard just before he lost his consciousness.
xxxxxxx
Sora wakes up in the infirmary to find Riku's and Kairi's worried faces staring at him. Kairi smiles with relief, "He's awake!"
Sora gets up in a sitting position, looking around with a confused expression on his face, "W-what happened?! Where am I? WHO WON?!"
Riku, in his smug way, says, "We knocked you out in the game pretty bad, so we had to carry you to the infirmary." Every word is meant to tease Sora, obviously, Kairi glares at him as Sora bends his head in disappointment, "I-I see... so... that means... we lost..."
Kairi nervously says, "Uhm, well... not exactly... Your team won." As she finishes her sentence, Riku hangs his head down in shame.
Sora's eyes go wide in disbelief, "WE DID!? HOW? I WAS THE ONLY SURVIVOR--" Kairi cuts in, "Not quite, there was another girl left in your team... Naminé... was it..?" She shrugs, "Probably one of your fangirls!"
Sora looks down at the bed sheet then goes, "Wait a minute! Then that means..." Then he looks up at Riku, his lips turning into a teasing grin. Kairi nods her head and says, "Yeah, she even beat Riku!”
Riku blushes five shades of pink out of embarrassment, bending his head down even lower in shame, he feels Sora's eyes on him and looks up, scowling when he notes that evil grin, "Don't say it." Riku hisses dangerously, but it doesn't affect Sora one bit.
"Say what?" Sora asks innocently. Riku growls, "You know what!" He snaps. Sora grins from ear to ear, "RIKU LOST TO A GIRL!!" He breaks out laughing.
"..." Riku's face goes dark, but says nothing.
"THIS IS PRICELESS!" Sora cries as he clutches his stomach, "YOU GOT BEAT BY A GIRL!" Riku's eyes twitch, his pride is at stake, "I-I tell you, that girl isn't normal! She's some crazy obsessed fangirl. No where near normal!!" Sora raises an eyebrow, "But Ri-kuu.. I thought you said... girls are just girls, they're easy to handle...?" Riku then loses his temper, "Sh-shut up or I'll knock you out again!" Kairi sighs, "Stop it guys, you're acting like kids!"
Riku huffs in annoyance while Sora tries to stifle a laugh.
"Naminé was really amazing though!" Kairi muses out loud, "Even when all five of us teamed up on her! We couldn't land a single ball... is she one of your fangirls?" Kairi asks curiously. Sora scratches his chin, thinking, "Namineee? Hmmm... nope... I don't THINK I know her..."
"I never noticed her before either," Riku adds. “That's really strange though... I always notice a pretty looking girl."
Now Sora is growing curious, "What does she look like?" He asks them, looking from one to the other.
Then Nurse Tifa enters the room, "Oh, I see you're better now, Sora. That's good to know." She smiles sweetly. The two boys blush pink as Kairi rolls her eyes at the sight.
"T-thanks, miss Lockhart!" Sora says bashfully, with a love-sick look on his face. Nearly all boys in school have a crush on her. Kairi smacks him on the head. "WHAT!" He glares at her. "Quit flirting with our teacher, will ya?!" She says in disgust. "I-I'M NOT FLIRTING!" Sora yells back. Tifa giggles, causing Sora to blush a deeper shade of pink.
"You can go out now, kids." She says while shaking her head then turning back to work.
xxxxxxx
Chairs screech along the floor as the students take their seats, chatting and gossiping away. Yuffie enters the room and spots a quiet looking Naminé at the far end of the classroom, drawing. She grins as she hurries towards the blonde girl, she takes the seat in front of Naminé and sits on it backward, and making sure it faces Naminé.
Naminé looks up at Yuffie who grins at her saying, "Hey, weren't you the chick who beat the prick? YOU'RE AWESOME!" Naminé blushes a bit and avoids eye contact, quickly re-focusing on her sketchbook, as if Yuffie has never said anything to her. Yuffie looks at her strangely and sits down properly, in an awkward silence. She shrugs, 'What a weird girl...'
The teacher suddenly enters the classroom, everyone sits still, she gazes upon the class, "Today, I'll be announcing the lab partners." She says, her voice clear, "Take note, kids, that the partners I'm going to call out, will be your partners for the rest of the upcoming year."
Naminé blocks off her ears from what is going on around her for a while, and refocuses on drawing, only when the teacher calls out her name, that she looks up.
“Naminé Strife and Sora Leonhart!”
Is she hearing right? The poor girl pales when she notices VERY jealous looking fangirls glare at her direction. She is hearing right!
She is paired up with Sora Leonhart... one of the most popular guys at the whole school!!

Chapter 1
A blond girl clutches her books tightly to her chest as she is standing before the gigantic building that, as of today, is going to be her new high school for the years to come.
Why is she here again? Oh, yeah, because Cloud, her father, doesn't feel good about leaving her in a school, or a town, where she won’t be having extra protection, that's why.
She takes a deep breath as the huge school gate greets her as a new student. Countless of students are walking through the school gates, laughing and idly talking with their companions. Naminé trembles nervously. She always feels uncomfortable around strangers.
“Good luck, kid. Remember, Tifa's here if you need anything.” Says Cloud before driving off. Her last source of strength, gone…
Naminé breathes in the air outside the school gates, trying to calm herself, she is feeling so nervous and petrified, walking around this new environment. Some students eye her curiously as she walks past them. Naminé hears them whispering and looking her way, but she keeps her head low, trying desperately to avoid eye contact.
She walks slowly toward the school lockers to get her books and schedule, trying to stay out of sight as much as possible, merging with the shadows. Why does it feel like the whole world is watching every step she makes?
She breathes in again, trying to calm her heart beat down, oh great, it's becoming harder to breathe as well. At times like this, she'd usually take out her sketch book and draw to relieve her stress. But there's no time now. As she is contemplating this in her head, a group of friends arrive at the spot near her locker. She peeks cautiously from behind her locker, there stands two boys, one of them is chubby and kind of short looking boy with black hair and a friendly smile. The other is taller, a bit, with messy blond hair and a playful smirk on his lips. The final person is a cute looking girl with brown hair.
"I'm in all of Olette's classes! YESS!!” The blond with messy hair exclaims happily, punching the air.
"And why are you so happy about it, Hayner? You've always considered me boring!” the girl, Olette, crosses her arms in front of her, glaring at Hayner.
The blond shrugs, “I still consider you boring, but having you in the same class has its privileges.”
The brunette raises an eye-brow, “huh?”
"It means, he's gunna spend all year copying your homework and cheating off your tests... just like he used to in middle school.” The chubby one explains, in a matter of fact tone.
Hayner panics as Olette sends him a death glare, “So that's why you hung around with me in the first place!”
"N-no! That's not it, well kind of...” he gulps as Olette's eyes narrows, “b-but I do think you're cute!”
The three of them freeze. Hayner curses himself quietly, Pence hides a growing smile, while Olette blushes profusely.
"W-where did that come from?” Olette stutters, trying to stop herself from blushing.
Hayner shakes his head sheepishly. “Forget it. Let's get ready for class.”
Just as they pass their lockers, they hear a low thud coming from their right side, a blond girl kneeling on the floor to pick up a book she dropped. Olette hurries and picks it up for her, smiling sweetly. “Here you go!” she hands it over to her. The girl bows her head timidly, mumbling a barely audible 'thanks'.
Olette looks at her curiously, she then reaches out her hand to help her up. “Hi there, my name is Olette.”
The shy girl looks at her hand warily, then slowly reaches up and takes it. “What's your name?” asks Olette.
"N-Na- Naminé,” she replies, trying to avoid eye contact. Olette smiles at how shy and adorable the blonde girl is. “Oh, and this is Hayner and Pence!” she introduces her best friends standing curiously behind her. Naminé merely nods, looking timidly at the floor.

Meanwhile, at the school gate..
"Sora, tell me again why exactly are you hiding behind me?” A red-headed girl glares at the brunette standing so uncomfortably close behind her.
"The fangirls Kairi, the fangirls!” Says the spiky-haired boy quietly, looking from side to side, as if a random fangirl will jump at him from nowhere at any second.
Kairi sweat-drops. “Hiding behind me is useless, Sora. How many times did I tell you that?”
"If a random fan girl attacks me, you'll protect me, right? You're the only one who can take them down!” he gulps as he sees a gush of fan girls run toward their direction. “I'm counting on you!”
The fangirls surround a tall silver-haired teen standing a bit farther ahead. They squeal annoyingly as he waves at them.
Sora peeks from Kairi's shoulder, “I wonder how Riku is able to control them. Amazing!”
Kairi shakes her head, “Let's just go already!” she walks ahead, leaving a frightened Sora behind, “Aaah! Kairi! Don't leave meee!” he runs after her, taking side glances with every step.

Seifer Almasy, the biggest bully in the entire school approaches Hayner, Pence and Olette near the mysterious blonde girl's locker.
He flashes a teasing smirk as soon as he stands before them, his two followers; Fuu and Rai, behind him. When Hayner's group notices him, they glare hatefully at their long-time enemies.
"What do you want, Seifer?” Hayner hisses dangerously.
Seifer shrugs coolly, “Oh, nothing, just here to meet the loser who'd talk to you, lamers.” He glances at a frightened looking Naminé hiding behind Olette. His smirk grows bigger. "What are you doing hanging out with those losers, cutie?”
"You can come hang out with us, y'know?” Rai, one of his followers says. The third follower, a strange looking girl, simply nods.
"Shut up! Get lost you freaks?!” Hayner yells at them, a vein almost popping out of his forehead. He is known for his ill-temper. “Calm down, Hayner!” Pence pleads patting his enraged friend's shoulder. Olette senses a fight coming, she fears Hayner will get in trouble, and on his first day at High school, that won't be good.
"Please leave, Seifer. We don't want any trouble!” She says, looking pleadingly at the older blond. Seifer castes a curious glance at Olette, then shrugs and walks off. “Let's go, these losers aren't worth the trouble.” he tells his followers before leaving the scene.
As soon as they leave, Hayner turns angrily at Olette. “I can't believe you let them go, Olette! And what's with that look ya gave him!?”
Olette is taken aback by his outburst, “What 'look'?” she asks skeptically.
Hayner grits his teeth, trying to control his anger. “Whatever! Forget it!” he turns the other way and head-butts the locker, frightening the blonde girl. The other two seem accustomed to it, they just roll their eyes.
"It's strange...” Pence muses out loud. His two pals look at him curiously, Naminé still recovering from the sudden fright. “He actually listened to Olette, don't you find that strange?”
Hayner frowns, “What, do you think he likes her?! Impossible!”
Olette pouts, hands on her hips, “And why is that impossible? Am I that ugly to you?”
Hayner panics again, he is never good with words. Especially around Olette. But she looks utterly cute with that pouting face of hers. He blushes at his thoughts, “D-don't make that face!”
Olette pouts harder, “What face?! You're so weird, Hayner! Seriously!”
"THAT FACE! Just stop it!!” Hayner snaps.
Pence sweat-drops as he watches the two get into a cat fight. 'Why won't they admit they like each other already?'
Naminé watches them curiously yet, at the same time, with fascination. These people are so strange to her. She isn't very social. Most of the time Naminé likes to be alone, preferably somewhere secluded from noise, or maybe in a quiet corner by herself.
Suddenly, the place gets extremely noisy. The sounds of squealing fan girls can be heard from all angles of the hallway. Naminé turns around, curious on what the commotion is about.
Sora is clinging onto Kairi in a death grip. “Kairi, don't ever leave me again! I can't survive here without you!”
Kairi sighs. “You're a big boy now Sora! You can manage.” Sora shakes his head vehemently. “No I can't! Those fangirls would eat me alive!”
“Why don't you go annoy Riku for a change?” Kairi says, annoyed.
Sora's face pales in fear, “NO!! Riku is a danger zone. He is surrounded by fangirls! 24/7! It's so much safer with you, Kairi. You kick butt!”
Kairi shakes her head. “Fine! Just shut up for at least 10 minutes so I can read my schedule, in peace!” She snaps as they reach their locker, which happens to be not so far away from Naminé and Hayner's groups’ location.
"Fine!” Sora says with a pout. They check their schedules together. Sora isn't too happy with the results. “This sucks! I have only one class with you!” He says, frowning. Kairi giggles, “Tell me what you have!”
"I have English, Art, Math’s, PE, History and Science! See, we only share PE! Bummer…” He says, frowning deeper.
Kairi smiles encouragingly at him “Cheer up. You might share some with Riku.”
Naminé 's eyes start expanding as she checks her schedule; it is as if the boy talking to that red-headed girl over there is reading out of HER schedule. She turns around to check if he is peeking at her paper or not.
"That’s Sora Leonhart, Kairi Kimaru and of course, Riku Yoshida.” Olette says, suddenly she and her friends are right next to Naminé, who nearly jumps at her voice.
"...the most popular group at school.” Pence silently adds.
"They've had their own fanclubs, too. Ever since middle school!” Hayner says, shaking his head. “Pretty annoying if you ask me.”
Naminé wonders why they are telling her all this. Olette seems to be able to read her mind because she suddenly says, “I caught you looking at them. Sora in particular. Though I don't blame you, he's super cute.” Hayner isn't too happy with Olette's last comment, he looks pretty annoyed.
Naminé panics. “N-no... that's not it... I-it's j-just t-that... um,” she glances down at her schedule, and freezes when realization hit her. She shares all of her classes with one of the most popular guys at school!
"Are you OK Naminé? You look a little pale.” Olette asks worriedly. Naminé shakes her head and stuffs her schedule inside the locker.
The bell rings, Hayner and his friends say their goodbyes and rush to their own classes, while Naminé heads out to her English class. Sora really is in all her classes. He is a unique person in class, she is forced to admit, the girls love him. Even the boys. He is generally nice and sweet, although he is also loud, annoying, and lazy, she mentally adds. He sleeps in most classes and he some times causes lots of racket.
Naminé always prefers to sit in the back of the classroom, a common place for shy people, she watches Sora, who surprisingly, sits not too far in front of her, drooling on his books in deep sleep. He isn't especially smart, in-fact he is FAR from smart, Naminé notes. The only class he shines in is PE. He is an exceptional basket ball player, along with Riku.
Sora, Kairi and Riku are incredibly popular, in the cafeteria, lots of people hang out around their table. Naminé, however, doesn't like commotion, she prefers peace and quiet, and so she mostly hangs around the roof-top alone, or go to the library, where she meets Olette sometimes. Olette isn't exactly her friend, per say, but she is the only person she dares to speak to, so far. Naminé, as one notices, is an incredibly anti-social person. She doesn't feel comfortable around strangers usually, but amazingly, she feels comfortable around Olette, more so than the rest at least. Sadly, she only shares one class with her. Math’s. Hayner and Pence are there too of course.
Naminé loves Art class the most, to her that can never change, even now. Drawing is her escape. When she draws something, she relieves herself stress and insecurities around people. Of course, Sora is in this class, too. And so far, Naminé notes, he never seems to sit too far away from her. Then suddenly, the teacher enters the room, holding his head high, the class has started.
"Good morning, class. Today we're doing a project in pairs." he announces.
Sora gulps as all of a sudden, the fangirls leap out of their seats toward their defenseless prey, and bombard him with pleads to be their partner.
"Sora! I wanna be your partner!”
“Sora pick me!”
“Sora-kuun!”
“Would you be my partner, Sora?”
“No, pick me, Sora-kun!”
Sora can't say no, but he isn't sure who exactly to pick or who is shouting what, there are too many of them. “Uh...” he feels himself sweating.
The teacher clears his throat, but no one seems to notice. He clears it over, and over, and over again, yet, still, it is barely audible through the fangirls begging. Sora tries to reach out for air as the fangirls pile over him, suffocating him.
"GIRLS! GET BACK TO YOUR SEATS IMMEDIATLY!” The teacher yells, losing his patience. The entire class freeze, Sora is finally able to breathe again as the fangirls slowly start to disperse one after another. He breaths a sigh of relief. Naminé pities him, if she is in his position, she will literally faint from all the attention. Being popular must suck.
The teacher clears his throat again, “I will be the one choosing the pairs!” he exclaims, earning a groan from the fangirls. He starts calling out the names. Naminé hopes not to be paired up with Sora. She knows that if she does end up with him, the fangirls will murder her on the spot. Meanwhile, nearby, Sora is practically praying not to be paired up with a fan girl.
As the teacher calls out the names for the pairings, everyone tenses in the suspense. The fangirls who don’t end up being paired with Sora sulk in their seats, engulfed in misery. Naminé sighs with relief when she discovers she isn't paired up with Sora, her partner comes up towards her, a clearly depressed fangirl, she relaxes. Safe. The moment almost everyone is expecting is here. Sora's name is called.
“Sora Leonhart and... hmm...where was I again?” the teacher murmurs, checking his clipboard, the anticipating fangirls curse at him to continue under their breath, leaning over the edge of their seats. The teacher finally looks up and says, “Sora Leonhart and Lana Tsukiko!”
Lana squeals with delight as she skips happily toward a groaning Sora. 'NOOO! NOT A FANGIRL!!' he sighs inwardly and lets his head fall on the desk. The other fangirls hiss in the background, glaring daggers at the Lana girl as she wraps her arms around Sora's forcefully.
"Lucky bitch!”
“Waah! I wanted to be with Sora-kun!”
“Nooo!”
“I hope that bitch dies!!”
Naminé sweat-drops at the scene, is she the ONLY person here who is NOT obsessed about Sora, besides the boys? The 'lucky' girl clings onto Sora possessively, showing off a teasing 'I-win-in-your-faces-bitches!' smirk to every glaring fangirl. Poor Sora is tense the entire time, but as soon as the bell rings, he makes a dash for the door. The entire army of fangirls that’s in this class starts to run after him at full speed.
Soon, Naminé is the only one left in the room. She's truly glad she isn't in his shoes, as she pictures a cornered Sora surrounded by fangirls at every turn he makes.

It is PE and Sora's sitting on one of the benches, waiting for Kairi and Riku who are still changing in the lockers room. His eyes start to twitch as he spots the fangirls in his class standing not too far, glaring at him like hawks, and snickering. Then they slowly advance towards him, their prey. Sora gulps. 'Kairiii hurry up!' he mentally screams.
“Hey, Sora-kun. What are you doing...?” They ask, giggling like the crazy fangirls they are.
“Uh, just chillin'...” He says carefully. The fangirls squeal in delight and gather around Sora. Then they start barraging him with questions:
“Sora-kun, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Do you like someone, Sora-kun?”
“How about you go out with me?”
“Shut up! Why'd he go out with an ugly bitch like you!?”
Sora spots Riku coming, his male best friend, and shoots him a 'SAVE-ME!' look. Riku sighs, shakes his head, and comes in their direction. Waving coolly, he says, “Hey girls.” They squeal annoyingly as soon as they see him, “It's Riku-sama! Riku-samaa!!”
Riku gives them a seducing smirk, “Would you mind if I talk to my friend alone, ladies?” The fangirls shake their head like idiots, and some of them even swoon on the spot.
Finally, they walk away, still gazing at them from afar though. Sora sighs with exasperation. Riku chuckles at his expression and takes a seat next to him, “Honestly, Sora, they're all just girls. Why are you so scared?” Sora's face turns serious. “They're not just girls. They're demons in human form!”
Riku rolls his eyes at his best friend's naivety. “Just give them a smile, flirt with them a little, and they'll leave you alone. They're easy to handle.”
Sora shivers at the thought of him actually doing that around them. “Easy for you to say! They'd rape and then eat me alive!” Riku shakes his head, surpassing a smile, “You're exaggerating, Sora!”
“Hi guys!” The boys look up to see Kairi with Yuffie Kisaragi, her best friend. Sora and Riku mumble a 'hey' back. Yuffie smiles at Sora, then glares at Riku, who looks at her. She and Riku share a long history together. She hates him because of his sexism and womanizing ways, it disgusts her. Back in middle school, she used to have a major crush on him. But when she finally confessed, he turned her down coldly. She still holds a grudge against him.
Riku smirks, then says sarcastically, “Good to see you too, Yuffie.” Yuffie goes like, “Hmph!” Ignoring him completely. “Love you, too.” Riku bites back, smirk stretching as Yuffie's face goes red tomato. “Sh-shut up, pretty-boy!”
Sora and Kairi watch their love-hate relationship with interest.
“So you think I'm pretty? Interesting...” He winks at her teasingly. She rolls her eyes, and crosses her arms. “Too pretty for a boy, if you ask me...” Kairi decides to butt in before Riku goes any farther, “You two are still as friendly as ever...” She and Sora laugh nervously when Yuffie glares at them.
All of a sudden, the coach blows the whistle and yells at them to line up. Naminé, who is sitting on one of the far benches the entire time, stands in the rear of the line, far away from Sora, his friends, and the fangirls. The coach announces they'll be playing Dodge Ball today. The class groans in response. Naminé pale, she hates violence.
As the coach calls out the names of both teams, Sora falls down in misery. "NOO! I'm against you guys! This is so unfair!!"
Riku and Kairi simply smirk evilly in return, "You're going down Sora! Finally… a chance to get our revenge on you, for annoying the hell out of us these past years!!" They glower menacingly at him as he gulps hard, sweating a bit, and backs out, "Oookayy...I'm gunna go get ready with my team now... G-good luck... ehehe..."
"Murder intent! I'm doomed!" he mutters to himself as he walks toward his team.
“SORA!” He looks up at Yuffie's voice, a grin on his face, “Yuffie! We're on the same team?!” She grins back, winking, “Yep! Let's do our best!” Sora nods, excitement rushing in him, “ALRIGHT!” Yuffie looks at him seriously all of sudden, “We HAVE to win!”
Sora blinks at her, “Eh?”
She pushes a finger in front of his face, eyes on fire, “We MUST win! We can't let Pretty-boy and Kairi beat us!” She says venomously, she then bursts out cackling like a witch, “Riku is sooo dead!” her face turns dangerously dark as she mentions his name. Sora sweat-drops, 'Why is everyone keen on murdering each other today...?'
Naminé is still in the shadows, she soon, however, realizes that she is in the same team as Sora's. As they gather, she inches closer to try to hear about the plan they were talking about, but the fangirls were all over Sora, pushing the other girls out of the way to be able to touch him. So Naminé ends up left out of the circle, then suddenly she hears Sora shout, "Team! ... Go out there and survive!” And then, they start to break up, leaving Naminé with a question mark looming over hear head, she then concludes that, this is the shortest plan ever.
Naminé gets dragged away by the army of fangirls dashing toward the field, so Sora doesn't get a chance to notice her, as a storm of flying balls, screams yelps and more things Naminé can't register fly across the field, she stays out of the spotlight as her comrades fall down in battle. Yuffie gets a ball, and aims it straight at Riku, who spots her, they have a glaring competition in the midst of the battle. Riku starts to smirk, as Yuffie scowl. They start attacking each other, she misses, and growls in frustration, but she dodges his in return, smirking. But, just as she looks up, Kairi's ball clashes with her head and she falls back. Sora runs to her side frantically, picks up her cold body, and shouts, "YUFFIE! SPEAK TO ME!" tears in his eyes, Yuffie looks at him weakly, "S-sora... You... must win... AVENGE ME!" she faints. Sora screams dramatically, "NOOOO!" he sobs over her unconscious body.
Naminé witnesses the entire event, and merely sweat-drops at the drama going on. Sora then turns to face the enemy, his eyes go wide as he sees a ball soaring his way, and he is defenseless!!
Riku, Kairi and Naminé anticipate the moment, however, a random fangirl suddenly flies in the way, her arms in the air, crying, "SORA-KUUNN!!" She moves in front of Sora, gets hit by the ball instead, and falls down in slow motion, face first on the ground.
Naminé sweat-drops, again, as the fangirl on the ground weakly turns to Sora, "S-sora-kun... please... please... try your best...ok?" she spoke weakly.
Sora nods, a bit sheepishly, he appreciates it when others do nice things for him. He smiles at the fallen fangirl warmly; the other fangirls go into a rage of jealousy. So one by one they go flying in front of him, getting hit in his place. In no time, Sora loses nearly all of his team. His head slumps at the outcome, while the guys gawk in amazement. Most of them thinking: 'I wish they'd do that for me!'
There are now five people left in Sora’s team; two fangirls, a random guy, plus Sora and Naminé. In Sora's eyes: "ALRIGHT!! I still have four people remaining! At least I can depend on the random guy to watch my back... YEAH! THAT MEANS I STILL HAVE SOME HOPE!!" He screams out loud, everyone on the field sweat-drop, while Naminé moves away from the clearly hysterical Sora.
Then all of a sudden he looks around to find that all the fangirls are down on the ground, they cry out pathetically, "S-sora-kuuun! Save us!" Riku and Kairi roll their eyes. Sora looks at the random guy, his 'last' hope. Then he looks back at his enemies Riku, Kairi and what's left of their team.
Without warning; there is a hurricane of balls, all aiming at Sora's team, Sora miraculously dodges them all, however his 'last hope' isn't as lucky and gets hit in the heat of the battle. Sora's heart-breaking cry can be heard bouncing off all angles of the field, "NOOOOOO!! IT CAN'T... It just... IT CAN'T BE OVER... it… it just can't...!" He whimpers as he bends on all fours, head low.
Riku has the devil's smirk playing on his lips, Kairi menacingly speaks, "Say your prayers So-ra-kun!!" Making sure she mocks every letter of his name, they jointly throw the ball at their target, Sora makes a dash for it, running as fast as he can, but the ball keeps hunting him, in every turn and direction he ran. Sora pales, "WHAT THE HELL! IMPOSSIB--" BAM! He is knocked out cold, falling on the ground in slow motion, everything turning black, but as he impacts with the ground a faint "ible" is heard just before he lost his consciousness.
xxxxxxx
Sora wakes up in the infirmary to find Riku's and Kairi's worried faces staring at him. Kairi smiles with relief, "He's awake!"
Sora gets up in a sitting position, looking around with a confused expression on his face, "W-what happened?! Where am I? WHO WON?!"
Riku, in his smug way, says, "We knocked you out in the game pretty bad, so we had to carry you to the infirmary." Every word is meant to tease Sora, obviously, Kairi glares at him as Sora bends his head in disappointment, "I-I see... so... that means... we lost..."
Kairi nervously says, "Uhm, well... not exactly... Your team won." As she finishes her sentence, Riku hangs his head down in shame.
Sora's eyes go wide in disbelief, "WE DID!? HOW? I WAS THE ONLY SURVIVOR--" Kairi cuts in, "Not quite, there was another girl left in your team... Naminé... was it..?" She shrugs, "Probably one of your fangirls!"
Sora looks down at the bed sheet then goes, "Wait a minute! Then that means..." Then he looks up at Riku, his lips turning into a teasing grin. Kairi nods her head and says, "Yeah, she even beat Riku!”
Riku blushes five shades of pink out of embarrassment, bending his head down even lower in shame, he feels Sora's eyes on him and looks up, scowling when he notes that evil grin, "Don't say it." Riku hisses dangerously, but it doesn't affect Sora one bit.
"Say what?" Sora asks innocently. Riku growls, "You know what!" He snaps. Sora grins from ear to ear, "RIKU LOST TO A GIRL!!" He breaks out laughing.
"..." Riku's face goes dark, but says nothing.
"THIS IS PRICELESS!" Sora cries as he clutches his stomach, "YOU GOT BEAT BY A GIRL!" Riku's eyes twitch, his pride is at stake, "I-I tell you, that girl isn't normal! She's some crazy obsessed fangirl. No where near normal!!" Sora raises an eyebrow, "But Ri-kuu.. I thought you said... girls are just girls, they're easy to handle...?" Riku then loses his temper, "Sh-shut up or I'll knock you out again!" Kairi sighs, "Stop it guys, you're acting like kids!"
Riku huffs in annoyance while Sora tries to stifle a laugh.
"Naminé was really amazing though!" Kairi muses out loud, "Even when all five of us teamed up on her! We couldn't land a single ball... is she one of your fangirls?" Kairi asks curiously. Sora scratches his chin, thinking, "Namineee? Hmmm... nope... I don't THINK I know her..."
"I never noticed her before either," Riku adds. “That's really strange though... I always notice a pretty looking girl."
Now Sora is growing curious, "What does she look like?" He asks them, looking from one to the other.
Then Nurse Tifa enters the room, "Oh, I see you're better now, Sora. That's good to know." She smiles sweetly. The two boys blush pink as Kairi rolls her eyes at the sight.
"T-thanks, miss Lockhart!" Sora says bashfully, with a love-sick look on his face. Nearly all boys in school have a crush on her. Kairi smacks him on the head. "WHAT!" He glares at her. "Quit flirting with our teacher, will ya?!" She says in disgust. "I-I'M NOT FLIRTING!" Sora yells back. Tifa giggles, causing Sora to blush a deeper shade of pink.
"You can go out now, kids." She says while shaking her head then turning back to work.
xxxxxxx
Chairs screech along the floor as the students take their seats, chatting and gossiping away. Yuffie enters the room and spots a quiet looking Naminé at the far end of the classroom, drawing. She grins as she hurries towards the blonde girl, she takes the seat in front of Naminé and sits on it backward, and making sure it faces Naminé.
Naminé looks up at Yuffie who grins at her saying, "Hey, weren't you the chick who beat the prick? YOU'RE AWESOME!" Naminé blushes a bit and avoids eye contact, quickly re-focusing on her sketchbook, as if Yuffie has never said anything to her. Yuffie looks at her strangely and sits down properly, in an awkward silence. She shrugs, 'What a weird girl...'
The teacher suddenly enters the classroom, everyone sits still, she gazes upon the class, "Today, I'll be announcing the lab partners." She says, her voice clear, "Take note, kids, that the partners I'm going to call out, will be your partners for the rest of the upcoming year."
Naminé blocks off her ears from what is going on around her for a while, and refocuses on drawing, only when the teacher calls out her name, that she looks up.
“Naminé Strife and Sora Leonhart!”
Is she hearing right? The poor girl pales when she notices VERY jealous looking fangirls glare at her direction. She is hearing right!
She is paired up with Sora Leonhart... one of the most popular guys at the whole school!!
