Author's Note:
Just to let you know, this story is written by two 14-year old girls from the Netherlands. Meaning, English isn't our native language, so this story can contain some errors. And also, this story has two perspectives, switching from Lenne to Yuna, and from Yuna to Lenne.
And before you're rid of this AN: We don't own any of these characters. They all belong to Square Enix sobs

Lenne
''Oh my goshness look! Yuna, we'll enter won't we?'' My finger poked on a paper that stuck to the school board.
''Of course we will!'' Yuna, my sister and friend next to me answered, as she started searching for a pen. After she found one, which was about five seconds, she wrote down 'Yuna & Lenne' underneath the big letters: SINGING CONTEST! WIN AND GET A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF SHOPPINGMONEY...OR SOMETHING ELSE!
The rest followed soon after we'd written our names on it.
''Excuse me--pardon me-- hello!''
We tried to escape the crowd that formed itself around the school board. Probably grades.
''So, I s'pose you have a song?'' I asked Yuna as we walked down the stairs. ''Uhh yeah, real Emotion right?'' she answered as she jumped down two steps at a time.
''Oh, yeah, cool!'' I answered as I followed her. We met some guys on the way.
''Hey Shuyin, hey Tidus!'' Yuna said as we continued our walk.
''Hey, are you guys entering the singing contest?'' Shuyin asked. ''Like, duh!'' I giggled.
''We'll be watching!'' Tidus laughed, and they walked on.

Yuna
I felt that strange tickling feeling as we passed Tidus and Shuyin. Both of them just looked so hot! I knew Lenne felt the same way, you could just see it on her face.
"Do you think those two like us?" I asked, trying to sound casually.
"I'm not sure...but hell! I sure like them!" Lenne replied, slightly blushing. I laughed and nodded.
Then we walked outside, to eat our meals. For once, I took a hamburger with me, because I got sick of eating the same everyday.
Just when I was about to take a bite, it got snatched out of my hands.
"You shouldn't eat that junk!" a high and energetic voice squealed. "Don't you need to be in an ultimate shape for the Singing Contest?"
I looked over my shoulder and saw our always-energetic always-happy cousin, Rikku, holding my hamburger.
"Awh c'mon! It's my only lunch!" I said, as I desperately tried to snatch back the hamburger. Rikku quickly rose her arm up so I couldn't reach and stuck her tongue out.
"So, will you be entering the contest too, Rikku?" Lenne asked.
"Yeah, of course! It's gonna be so much fun!" Rikku replied.
"What song are you going to sing then?" Lenne asked. "I'm not sure..." Rikku said, placing a finger on her chin, thinking deeply.
Seeing my opportunity, I quickly snatched back the hamburger. "Huh...what the--hey!" Rikku exclaimed. I grinned as I quickly started eating the hamburger. "Suit yourself then, but don't come crying at my door once you're as fat as shoopuf!"
"Ids jusd one humburger!" I said with my mouth full. Lenne and Rikku couldn't help but laugh at the sight of my stuffed-with-hamburger-face.

Lenne
After lunch we had a study hour. Shuyin and Tidus were sitting in front of us, and Rikku thought it'd be fun to throw stuff at them. So yeah, we agreed, and we started throwing little pieces of paper at their backs.
Unfortunately, one landed against the back of Shuyin's head, and he looked around like a bug just bit him.
''Whoops!'' Rikku giggled as she buried her face behind her book. Shuyin looked at us with a mischievous grin on his face.
''We didn't do anything,'' Yuna giggled.
He smiled and turned around again. God, that smile made my knees tremble, even though I was sitting. Suddenly, without us even noticing it, a battle had begun. Tidus and Shuyin were throwing back with much bigger pieces, which got stuck in our hair.
''You'll regret that!'' we laughed back as silent as we could.
The surveillant was so deaf that he didn't even hear us. I guess he was blind too. The struggle went on for another half an hour, which was pretty cool.
After that we went to practice the song. The whole gym area was ours, so we had a lot of place to practice.
''Alright, let's rock and roll, and give them tutu's and wings!'' I giggled as I took the microphone from Yuna. ''Yeah, let's rock it!''
------
Yuna
I felt like we had practised for 4 hours straight, my throat was sore and I was damn thirsty.
"Lenne, you feel like getting a soda in the cafeteria?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, let's go." Lenne answered.
Once we were there, we both bought some bottled ice tea and sat at an empty table. It seemed like we were the only ones there at that time, most students must have already gone home.
I was (as always) drinking too fast and I choked again. I laughed at my own stupidity and coughed up some of my ice tea at the same time. It must have made me look even more stupid! Which (of course) caused Lenne to laugh while she was drinking, and she spitted out most of her tea right into my face! After that, we both just couldn't stop laughing, until Lenne's smile suddenly faded from her face.
"What? What is it?" I asked somewhat confused, after seeing Lenne's face turn all serious so suddenly.
"S-Shuyin..." Lenne said, almost whispering. Still not understanding, I followed Lenne's gaze and looked over my shoulder.
Tidus was entering the cafeteria, supporting Shuyin on his shoulder, who was obviously injured...

Lenne
I shot up again as fast as I could. Gosh, it even hurt my legs.
''Shuyin! Oh my god! What the hell happened?'' I yelled at him, which made him bounce back a little.
''I'm fine, don't worry about it.'' he mumbled as he sat down. I looked at him closely.
''You're not fine, you have a split lip.'' Yuna said as she gave him a napkin from the table. ''Ehh…'' he moaned as he wiped the blood off of his lip.
''Who did this Shuyin, I want to know.'' I began as I took his hand in mine.
''Tell me.'' I continued when he looked to the ground.
''Seifer Almasy… He said some not nice things about you, so I stood up for you, and he… kicked my butt.''
I felt the anger boil up inside of me...What gave him the right to hurt Shuyin! I got up and ran out, knowing exactly where Seifer would be.
''You bastard! How could you!'' I yelled as I pushed Seifer against his (abnormally) large chest.
''What did I do?'' he laughed as his friends looked so not impressed.
''Did you really have to kick Shuyin's ass?'' I continued.
''Oh yeah, I mean, I can't stand it if people talk about my girlll...'' he grinned, and his friends burst into laughter.
''Look, ass! We only dated for two days, why don't you tell that to your friends huh, scumbag!''

Yuna
I was standing just outside of the cafeteria, wondering about what to do, rush after Lenne and make sure she'd be okay, or stay here with Tidus and Shuyin? I knew that Seifer was somewhat aggressive, but I couldn't imagine him hurting Lenne. So I decided to stay here and wait for her to come back. I turned around and entered the cafeteria again, and saw Tidus looking at of some of Shuyin's bruises. I suddenly got terribly nervous. I've never been alone around them, and especially not without Lenne.
I walked back to them anyway, trying to act casually.
"Maybe you should just go to the infirmary, there's no use in just sitting here." Tidus said with a concerned look on his face.
"And let everybody know I got beaten up so easily? No thanks." Shuyin answered.
"How did this actually happen? School's been out for quite some time now." I said.
"We were training with blitzballs in the swimming pool, since they want to start recruiting new players for the blitz-team again soon." Tidus replied. "Seifer and his friends were training there too, but we just ignored them. Once we were done I went to the changing room and Shuyin cleaned up a bit."
"Then I heard Seifer say some stuff about Lenne.." Shuyin continued. "Like, how he was convinced she was just a slut playing around with everyone. It somehow made me so mad. I yelled at him, and before I knew it he just hit me in the face, and a few more times after that. I guess that's all there's too it."
I just nodded.
"Why were you and Lenne still here then?" Tidus asked.
"Just practising for the Singing Contest." I said, not daring to look him in straight the eye. At that moment Lenne entered the cafeteria again.
"Lenne!" I said, relieved to see she was okay. "How did it go? What did you say?"
"I pushed him around a bit, telling him we only dated for 2 days and called him some stuff." Lenne replied with a small grin on her face. I grinned back at her.
After a few moments Tidus said: "You uhm, just want to go home, Shuyin? You sure you don't want to go to the infirmary first?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." Shuyin saidquietly as he rose up from his seat. He just walked out of the cafeteria without another word, until Lenne stopped him.
"S-Shuyin...Thanks for, for standing up for me."
Shuyin turned around to look at her and smiled slightly. Then he turned again and left.
"I guess I'll be going now too." Tidus said, scratching the back of his head. "So uhm, I'll see you two tomorrow I guess."
"Yeah, see ya." I replied.
After he left too, Lenne and I stayed in the cafeteria to talk a bit, and then we left as well.

Lenne
The next day Shuyin looked practically normal, next to his split lip. I thought it made him look even more sexier. To make it even better for me, the teacher thought that Shuyin was a little large, and she couldn't see the person who was sitting behind him, so he had to sit next to me!
Yuna grinned slightly and made a ''heart'' sign with her hand. I grinned back and tried to pay attention in class. I was wondering ifmy heartbeatswere noticeable troughout the classroom. If they were, the teacher would have a heart-attack because of it. Shuyin however looked quite peaceful with all of it.
''Now, what do you guys feel when you're angry?'' the teacher asked suddenly, breaking me out of my thoughts.
''Anger, duh!'' Seifer laughed, and the rest followed.
''I know that Almasy, and if you give me that big mouth again I will shut it myself!'' the teacher's voice resounded, and she turned her back towards him. He made a weird face and gave her his middle finger, which was followed by the laughter of his friends.
''Now, Tidus...what do feel when you're angry? What do you want to do to that person?'' the teacher continued, ignoring the boys.
''I'd wanna hit that person real hard. Hit him into the ground the least.'' Tidus answered without hesitating.
''Ohh, I'm scared now'', Seifer's voice was heard once again.
''That's it, out!''
----
''I wanna hit him so hard you guys!'' Tidus began ashe sat down outside in the park. He opened his math book and looked at it.
''I hated that homework, I didn't get it.'' Yuna sighed. ''Wait, we had to make homework?'' Tidus frowned. ''Yeah, duh!'' Yuna giggled.
''Oh great. The teacher's gonna have no mercy..'' Tidus continued and he closed his book again.
''Well, then I am the bringer of good news.'' I began as I walked up to them, ''Math isn't on the schedule today, but tomorrow.'' and I sat down.
''Are you serious? Damn, all these years and I don't even know my timetable!'' Tidus laughed.
I looked at the sky and closed my eyes. These days were the prettiest, the ones with the nice breeze.
''Earth to Lenne, hi!'' Yuna said, and I shot up. ''W-What? What were you saying?''.
She laughed. ''I said we should train after school!'' Yuna repeated. ''We train what?'' I asked, frowning.
''SINGING CONTEST!'' the threesome yelled.

Yuna
And so, after classes were over, we went towards the gym area for our practise. Shuyin and Tidus decided to come along. We set up some tables as a stage, and put our radio with the CD next to it. We connected the microphones and we were all set.
"You ready, Lenne?" I asked as I put on the radio and selected the right number. "Yeah, let's rock!" Lenne replied.
I jumped on the stage and took my microphone. Shuyin and Tidus were watching closely. As the music began to play we prepared to sing. We focused on our voices and the lyrics and we sang almost flawlessly. Just a few more times practise, and it would be perfect! As Lenne and I got of the 'stage', I could just feel that Tidus was still looking at me. Once my eyes met his he smiled.
"That was amazing, you'll win first prize for sure!" he said.
"Thanks!" I replied with my cutest smile. Once I noticed he was blushing, I felt my cheeks turn red too. He just looked so adorable, I could feel my heart beat all over the place.
"So, would you want to uh...you know, come watch us practise blitzball sometime?" he continued.
"Yeah of course! I'd love to!" I said. Tidus nodded and smiled once again. Then we just stood there for a few moments. I didn't know what to say and I was too shy to look at him straight, he seemed to be having the same problem.
"Hey dreamy-girl!" Lenne suddenly called. "Are you gonna make me clean up all by myself?"
"Ow, uhm...n-no, s-sorry!" I answered, and I walked back to help. In the meantime Shuyin was taking it easy and watched Lenne from a distance. It was so obvious he liked her. I wondered if Tidus felt the same way towards me, he did blush after all. And he was watching me a lot too...
-------
Lenne
I, however wasn't paying attention at all, until Yuna told me. I blushed furiously. ''W-what? Nah, that's not true!'' I giggled as placed the things back in order. ''Well, look for yourself!''
I looked over my shoulder in Shuyin's direction. Okay, so he was looking. But then again, so was I…
Later we went to watch them practice for their blitzball game. And I tell you, everything looked MIGHTY FINE.
''You might wanna reach out of the water just a little bit further!'' Yuna giggled at them. Tidus grinned at her, and did as she told.
''Don't you just loooove blitzball!'' we both said and laughed at the same time.
After the practise, (which was absolutely amazing) Tidus went to take a shower and Yuna went to get us something to drink. Not that the two of us did like, ya know, needed it a lot. Not paying attention, I bumped into (YES REALLY) Shuyin.
''Oh, sorry!'' he laughed.
''M-my fault!'' I blushed. I continued my walk but he called me back.
''Wait! I want to tell you something!'' Suddenly my heartbeat was going berserk! Oh my gosh, maybe he just wanted to tell me to hurry up or something...
''I-- uhm...I just...'' He looked to the ground and bit his lip.
''Ok, deeds are better then words...''
Before I could respond to that -somewhat weird reaction- he pressed his lips on mine. I squeaked quietly, and I think my breath just stopped in my throat. Shuyin was kissing me!
