Yuna tapped her pencil against the rim of her desk. It made a captivating thud against the surface of the desk. Education was mind numbing. Although, at most times, she enjoyed it… but today was special. It was a day like no other.
Why? She reflected to herself. Up till now she hadn't seen her boyfriend of 3 weeks, Tidus.
But wouldn't having a boyfriend be a delight?
Yuna had no idea why… in the focus of History… feelings about why Tidus was her boyfriend were hovering around in her head.
"Yuna?"
Yuna's head snapped up. Looking at her with an absent smile on their face was Wakka, one of her life-long friends.
"What's up, Wakka?" She asked. "Is something wrong?"
Wakka nodded a little. Yuna glanced at the clock on the wall. The bell was going to ring at any moment.
"Come on over here." Yuna suggested.
Wakka nodded, and packed his things into his bag. He brought himself over to Yuna's desk, and sat down at the empty chair next to her.
"What's the matter?" Yuna asked when he was settled. "You seem really careless lately…"
"Well, I've been thinking, ya?" He started… just as the bell rang. The other students in the class started to pack up their things and move out towards their next study hall, but Yuna stayed, her eyes set on Wakka.
"You've been thinking…?" Yuna repeated.
"Well, I was thinking about asking Lulu out."
Yuna was silent for a moment, but then a wide grin extended across her face. She giggled.
"What, ya?"
Yuna calmed herself down, and smiled. "From what Lulu has ranted on to Rikku, Lenne, Shuyin and I forever, is that she has had a massive crush on you for as long as I can remember!"
Wakka was speechless. He stared at her. "Really? And she didn't say anything to me?"
Yuna frowned. "She didn't want to say anything to you because she thought you wouldn't take it very well. Sometimes she's not very secure."
Wakka nodded. "Well, I'll talk to her, ya? Cos after this next class we have a lunch break, and we all always sit together."
Yuna smiled as Wakka got up, waved to her and left the classroom.
Yuna closed the door to the staff room quietly, and turned away. Catering was one of her school options, and although she was very, very good at it, it was kind of embarrassing to cook for the teachers and other staff. She just felt uncomfortable.
She walked down the hallway towards the café, where all her friends would be. Yuna never made it there.
"Yuna, my doll!"
Her blood ran cold. Tidus.
He walked up to her and enveloped her in a hug. "Hey baby," He said. "You look a little cold. Let me warm you up, aye?"
Yuna stared at him for a while. "Aah, no thanks."
Tidus stepped back, clearly insulted. "What are you saying, Yuna?"
Now Yuna was glaring at him. "I don't think… that…" She paused. Tidus was the person that introduced her to many of her friends. If she dumped him – which was by gods her intention – then perhaps her friends would think less of her?
But then what kind of friends would they be if that were what there thoughts?
"Oh… eeerm, nothing."
Tidus looked suspiciously at her. "Yuna… come on, you can tell me what's wrong? Even if you're going to dump me, we can still be friends. All I want is to be your friend, you know that right?"
Yuna took a deep breath, and said to herself, 'All right then…'
A loud yell broke out as Yuna said those words. 3 girls, who were walking past at that moment, saw Tidus' aggravation. They backed away and out of the hall as Tidus ran for Yuna, who had been trying to leave. She had turned around to see what he had yelled about, when she was tackled by him and knocked to the ground. She yelled in pain as her head knocked against the wall, as the force of him being on top of her knocked her back and onto the ground.
"What are you doing?" She cried, as he hit her, not moving from his spot on top of her.
"Teaching you that there is nobody following me!" He exclaimed.
"That's not true!" She cried, trying to fend him off. "I haven't loved you in a long time, so there was no point in lying to you any more."
Tidus smacked her in the face. It stung. She just lay there, taking whatever he gave her, before a whole bunch of students crowded the hallway. Two teachers made their way down the hallway, to the pair, and one of them pulled Tidus off Yuna.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Yuna came back to school a couple of days later. It had been hard for her friends to persuade her to come back at all. She was on the verge of tears most of the time. Not over Tidus. He wasn't worth it. The thing with the tears started when she came back to school.
The tears were the cause of Tidus' statement – there was nobody after him. Now all of the boys were ignoring her. All of her friends that she had met through Tidus, boys that she didn't even know, even some of the teachers acted different around her. She hated it.
The thought of being with no boy after Tidus spooked Yuna.
But as Rikku and Lulu – and Wakka – met her at the gate, and Rikku and Lulu gave her massive bear hugs, she thought that she didn't need a boy.
Not when there was the thought of being with a girl.
Wow, that didn't even take very long to write. Please let me know if there's any way I can fix it! Thanks!
