Never Meant to Be II Rikki's story

Chap.1: the meeting

I never liked to tell stories, but this was an exception. It was a story that stood out like a black sheep. It all stared when I had this vivid dream. It was more like a vision than a dream.

Flashback:

Brave soldier, to prove your loyalty and strength, you are to go out and search for the one with a 'heart of crystal'. Then you will be rewarded. Now GO! Go forth and search. I have provided things you'll need for this harsh trip.

Now I woke up with a huge headache.

"Man, what a crazy dream." I said to myself. As if I'll ever go ANYWHERE with the scores I get in school. Oh, by the way, I'm Rikki. Rikki Mixtuwagwa. I go to Destiny High. I'm an average young boy in 8th grade, my best bud is Tidus, my favorite food is lasagna, and I'm 15 years old. I looked up at the clock: 7:35 am. Just 5 more minutes before I go to hell.

"Rikki! You bag of beans! Get your ass out of bed! It's time for school!" my mom was in a bad mood

So I decided not to piss her off today. I got up and did my same old routine: brush my teeth, get dressed in my same old clothes, and eat breakfast and run like hell to catch the bus to school.

"Huff, huff. I-I mad-de i-it." I heaved plopping down on my seat next to Tidus, my best bud. Well, my only bud that is, I'm not exactly popular. In fact I might as well be the most unpopular guy alive.

"Tee-hee." I heard someone giggle behind me.

I turned my head to see Rina, the most popular, smart, and pretty girl in school. I blushed to see she noticed me. I had a crush on her since preschool.

"h-hi, R-r-ri-i-n-n-a-a." I said real hesitantly

"Save it, it's not like you even have a chance with her, Rikki." Tidus joked

"Shut up, Tidus. It's unlike YOU have a chance with Yuna either." I shot back

His face turned crimson red.

"s-shut up!" he shouted

"Weak defense dude." I sneered

He didn't say anything, just got sadder.

"Sorry dude." I quickly said trying not to hurt his feelings.

"It's ok." He said weakly

Before I could say anything, Mrs. Nimyakki slammed the door open.

"Class, we have an exchange student all the way from Twilight Town. Dear, tell the class your name." she said in her scary yet gentle voice.

"m-my n-name i-is Auskura, Auskura soyomi." The new girl said hesitantly

"Dude, she's hot!" Tidus whispered to me

Then I my face started to turn several shades of red. I hid my face so Tidus didn't have to make fun of me anymore than he already did.

"Let's see, where to put you…ah! There, next to Rikki. Rikki, wave your hands to show her where you are." The teacher demanded

"Yes m'am." I said raising my right hand.

"R-rikki?" Auskura said

"Yes, Rikki, you know each other?" the teacher said curiously.

We both shook our heads at the same time 'no.'

"But his name does seem familiar." She said really softly that not even the teacher heard.

"Ok! Now everyone, please turn to page 133 in your literature text books.

I didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Nimyakki; I was just daydreaming about the new girl. It was amazing. But I still wonder why she was so familiar?
