"Yunieeeeee!"

Yuna woke up to the loud, hyper, and annoying voice coming from Rikku as Rikku tried to wake her up. "Yunie wake up we're gonna be late!" Rikku practically screamed in Yuna's ear.

Yuna bolted upright, her face expressing shock, as she shot Rikku a death glare. "Rikku, what's the hurry and why are you always sugar-high?" Yuna asked her al-bhed cousin and best friend, as she yawned, crawled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom.

Yuna Martinez and Rikku Cox had been living in the same house for a long time. Yuna's father, Braska, and Rikku's father Cid were both usually out together doing some kind of social work, which they were admired for by many people. Although Cid was Rikku's father, Yuna had never really met him. Braska had always said Cid was quiet and never liked to mingle with too many people.

Yuna was a pretty, rich and popular senior student, who was envied by many and hated by Dona and her bitchy cheerleading squad. Many people thought Yuna to be really special with her unique eye colour(s), one eye being green, and the other being blue.

Rikku was a quirky, and extremely hyper blonde who absolutely loved chocolate, candy or just about anything from the sweets department. Despite being a senior in Besaid High, she sounded like and resembled a 10-yr old.

"The hurry is that today is the first day of school and if we don't hurry we're going to be late!" Rikku explained, knowing that she was being ignored. Rikku walked down the stairs to the living room and prepared to wait for Yuna's ever-long bathroom "visit".

Meanwhile, in a house not too far away from Yuna's…

Brrrrrring….Brrrring!

A hand reached over and banged the alarm clock, which had rung for what seemed like an eternity. When the loud ringing didn't seem to stop, a spiky haired blonde slowly crawled out of bed and reached for the phone. He picked up the phone and snapped a quick hello into it, not wanting to talk to anyone in the sleepy state he was in.

"Yo, T, what's up? You ready yet? With all the yawning and the crankiness I guess you're not?" A voice on the other end responded.

"We're picking you up, ya? You do remember today is the first day of school…" Another voice exclaimed. This voice, the blonde knew too well. This voice belonged to a certain red-head who was the blonde's best buddy for a long while. This voice belonged to the blonde, Tidus', best friend and blitz ball teammate, Wakka.

Shit! Tidus thought. Crap, I forgot today was the first day of school. Damnit, now I'm really going to be late!

Forgetting Wakka and Gippal were still on the line, Tidus slammed the phone down and rushed to the bathroom. When he got out, he was dressed in his favourite outfit, blue denim shorts and his blitzball jersey. Tidus made his way down to the kitchen, hoping for a hot delicious breakfast, but what he found was nothing. Tidus then realized that his father, Jecht had gone out on a special "trip". Tidus grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl decorating the glass-top kitchen table and ran out the front door when he heard the honk from the black Porsche belonging to Gippal.

Meanwhile back at the Martinez/Cox household…

Rikku watched as Yuna walked down the stairs dressed in blue jeans and a black halter with multi-coloured embroidered flowers. Yuna and Rikku made their way to the breakfast table. When they were finished, Rikku grabbed her car keys and they were both off to school, stopping on the way to pick up their all-Goth friend Lulu.

Rikku drove the three of then to school and as they pulled into a parking spot a black Porsche pulled in next to them. Yuna opened her door and "accidentally" hit the door Tidus was opening. They made eye contact as they smiled at each other.

This, over the years, had become their everyday ritual. Parking side by side and purposely hitting their doors together. Yuna and Tidus had been best friends since forever. She knew everything about him and vice-versa. They had been there for each other through all their life's struggles. They were also very close friends with the others in their "gang": Rikku, Lulu, Wakka, and Gippal.

The group of six made their way into the school and found their lockers, as there was only minutes to first period class. Tidus, Yuna, and Rikku had English, while Wakka and Lulu had math, leaving Gippal with gym class.

As Tidus, Yuna and Rikku walked into their English class, they bumped into two of the school's most-hated and most-dangerous people, Dona Nelson and Seymour Fernandez. They both equally hated Yuna and Tidus and everyone else who were friends with them.

"Well, Well, Well, look who we have here…" Seymour said with an icy tone as he glared down at Tidus in a threatening manner.

"Nice meeting you too, freaks!" Rikku shot back as she dragged Tidus and Yuna away.

"What's the matter you afraid we're going to whoop your asses?" Dona called after them. Tidus stopped and turned around, tempted to smash Seymour against the wall, and give him a black eye.

Yuna had a worried look on her face, knowing that if Tidus caused any damage he would definitely be suspended and would also probably be kicked off the blitzball team. Seymour and Tidus faced each other and glared at each other, ready to start what looked like was going to have a not so pretty ending.


A/N: This is my first FFX fic. I know this isn't much for a first chapter but I think it'll work. I hope they all don't sound too OOC. Please review I'd really appreciate it!
