"Why the hell are we doing this again?" The blonde haired teenager hissed at her brunette friend as they walked up to the large High School on Destiny Islands.

"Leo's orders." The brunette replied in a calm yet happy tone of voice, "Besides, it'll be fun! Think of all the new people we'll meet."

"I don't wanna meet new people." The blonde complained, "I have you and Dyana and I have my OWN High School back in Pennsylvania. I don't wanna be here. I have half a mind not to call Leo and have him orb me home this instant!"

"You do that and you'll be in big trouble!" The two girls pushed through teenagers rushing past them to get to their classes as they made their way to the rectory where they were to sign in as new students.

"So what?" The blonde hissed, "I hate this uniform! It's ugly as HELL."

"It's blue." The brunette tried to reason with her.

"I don't care if it was black and blue; it's ugly as hell. Why couldn't Dyana be here instead of me. I'm sure she would've LOVED this get up."

"Be glad it isn't a jumper." The brunette hissed back.

"You know. I oughta…"

"Welcome to Destiny Island High School. I'm Miss. Gainsborough. You can call me Aerith though. I'm presuming you're the new students?" The woman behind the desk smiled kindly as the two girls walked up to her.

"Yes we are." The brunette teenager replied to Aerith, who started typing rapidly at her computer. Within 5 seconds Aerith turned to the girls and asked, "Amanda and Mari, right?"

"I'm Mari." The brunette said.

"And I'm Amanda. "The blonde added.

"Well, it's nice to meet you two. Mari, your first class will be in the computer technology lab down the hall and to the right. Mr. Cid is your Professor. Amanda… your first class is history on the second floor. I can have someone show you to that class if you'd like."

"Please." Amanda replied.

"Lemme just…" Aerith held one finger up to then, motioning them to wait, as she got up and disappeared behind a door. Amanda whipped around to face Mari and hissed, "The deal was that we weren't separated."

"Leo might've gotten that wrong…" Mari shrugged helplessly.

"Why I oughta…" Amanda's hands formed tight fists as Aerith stepped out of the door followed by a girl with brown hair and to different colored eyes, about 15 years old- the same age as her and Mari. The girl smiled kindly at Amanda, and Amanda- dispite her intimidating disposition, smiled kindly back at her. I did it, She thought silently, I made a new friend. Before Mari of all people. God, usually, Mari's made twenty friends by now, just because of her happy go lucky disposition and her ability to smile all the freaking time. Aerith sat back down in her chair as the girl with the two different colored eyes bent down and grabbed her school bag.

"This is Yuna. She's in most of the same classes as you Amanda. She'll show you around and then you two will get straight to class, right Yuna?" She asked her. The girl named Yuna nodded silently. She walked up to Amanda and asked, "Shall we go?" Amanda nodded and turned around as her newfound friend Yuna and her traveled down the halls, leaving Mari at the front desk to find her new friend to guide her around the school.

Amanda followed Yuna closely as they finished their tour of the school and headed for the History classroom on the second floor. As they turned the corner, Yuna stopped Amanda momentarily.

"Lemme want you about the others." Yuna said kindly, "Their not good with taking in newbies. Especially Riku and his band of jock assholes.

"Why does that sound bad?" Amanda asked, trying to bring a little humor into the serious conversation. Yuna sighed and laughed alittle.

"You have 4 major groups in the 10th grade level: The Jocks- their nasty. The popular group- they won't bug you if ou don't bug them. The outcasts- newbies, people who don't fit in, like me and my friends Rikku and Paine. And then the cheerleaders- their a bunch of bitches. Especially their little 'leader'."

"Hmph…" Amanda laughed silently to herself, "Why is it the cheerleaders are always the ones they want you about?"

"Anyone else I should know about?" Amanda asked.

"Nope." Yuna shook her head, "Hey, after History is the lunch period, you wanna sit with me and Paine?"

"Sure." Amanda replied, I have no one else to sit with.

"Professor Lulu is the teacher in here. She was actually from MY home Island, until she went to school to become a teacher."

"That's neat." Amanda replied, as her and Yuna walked down the hallway to the History room.

I hope Leo's right about this… or else I'm screwed.

As Professor Lulu blabbered on about the history of Destiny Islands, Sora rested his hands in his head. I'm going to die of boredom. He thought to himself. He then fixated his gaze on the back of Kairi's head, taking in every feature of her. He looked the way she looked, both front wards and back. He loved it. It was probably going to be the only thing that kept him alive during this lesson. That was until something hit the back of his head and he whipped around to see his friend Riku grinning innocently at him. He looked at the ground and saw Riku had thrown a crumpled up piece of paper at him. Probably his homework. Sora shook his head, not surprised and whirled around in his chair to see Professor Lulu at his desk, staring down at him angrily. He looked up helplessly as the Professor gave him an after school detention and swiftly glided back to the front of the class where she presumed her lesson. Sora kept his head down the rest of the class until he felt someone tapping his arm. He looked up to see Kairi grinning at him playfully.

"Bad boy." She mouthed silently to him, which made him grin proudly. He loved it when she teased him. He wasn't sure why. He probably would've kept wondering about it all day, until the door knocked and the whole classes attention turned to the door, where one of the outcasts Yuna was late for class. Sora felt bad for her for all the tormenting and ridicule she was put though on a daily basis, but he couldn't help her.

"Yuna. You're late." Professor Lulu commented in a shocked voice. Everyone knew Yuna was Professor Lulu's favorite. Sora heard Riku grunt in disgust behind him and his eyes automatically darted to Yuna's only friends in this class room- Paine. A very intimidating looking girl. Sora himself was terrified to see what would happen if you pissed Paine off,and it seemed like Riku was doing just that. Paine shot a threatening glare at Riku, who didn't seem to notice, and if he did, he didn't seem to care.

"Yes ma'am." Yuna replied innocently, "I have a note from Ae-I mean Miss. Gainsborough."

"Let me see." The Professor said as Yuna handed her the note. Lulu's eyes widened with shock and delight as she neared the end of the note.

"A new student…" She said to Yuna, double-checking. Yuna nodded. "You may sit down Yuna."

Yuna bowed her head and took her place next to Paine. The Professor walked out of the room to meet the new student and who whole classroom became a free for all. Kairi turned to her friend and fellow cheerleader Selphie and started gossiping. Sora turned to Riku, "So whatdda think?"

"I think little Miss. Goody-goodie over there had gotten off the hook. "Riku replied, referring to Yuna, "We're gonna have some new meat."

"Yeah…" Sora agreed reluctantly. He felt sorry for whoever this new guy was.

"Yeah Paine." Yuna whispered to her friend underneath her breath, "She's different from them. She's like us. You can talk to her at lunch. She's gonna sit with us."

"Wonderful." Paine replied in her usual flat voice, then added loudly, "She isn't a bitch cheerleader, is she?"

"No…" Yuna whispered back as the jock's and the cheerleader's eyes all landed on Paine in a hateful glare. Yuna sat back in her chair, trying to make herself invisible. She hated confrontation. Especially when it was only two against the classroom. Sure her, Rikku and Paine could take on the Jocks, but not the Jocks, the popular crowd and the cheerleaders all together.

"How about her friend?" Paine asked.

"She seemed nice."

"Nice doesn't cut it Yuna." Paine said in an irritated voice, "Different does."

"Heh…" Yuna laughed nervously. Paine always loves to antagonize people.

"They can be a bit harsh." The blonde girl Aerith had given Mari as a guide warned her as they headed for the computer lab.

"Great." Mari replied.

"By the way, I'm Rikku." The blonde girl introduced herself.

"I'm Mari."

"Nice to metcha Mari!" Rikku said happily.

"Nice to meet you too." Mari replied.

"Um… the professor in the computer lab… he's crazy so just ignore whatever he says, okay…" Rikku said nervously.

"o-OKAY…." Mari said suspiciously. Wouldn't have Aerith wanted me about that? They entered the classroom and everything fell silent. Rikku walked up to The professor, and he grabber her in a bear hug suddenly, startling Mari.

"Well if it aein't Rikku!" He said happily.

"I-I have a n-note." Rikku said, handing in to him. He read it swiftly, crumbled the paper up and tossed it behind his desk.

"Attention!" He shouted to the class, whom all the students fell silent, "We got a new student ye see. Mari Halliwell." Cid beckoned her to the center of the room. Mari reluctantly walked up to him. He swong an arm around his shoulder and pointed to an empty computer next to a boy who wasn't paying attention. "Yew can sit next ta Bryan over there. Go on now, class is in session once again." He pushed her forward and with a cherry red face, made her way to the seat where she sat down and sunk down into her chair. She'd never been more embarrassed in her life.

"A little crazy, isn't he?" The Bryan kid asked. Mari nodded.

"Hell yeeah!" She replied in a whispery tone.

Bryan laughed at her remark, and she kinda liked it. I hope Amanda is having better luck then I am…

"Attention class." Professor Lulu said silencing the class, "We have a new student. Please welcome Amanda Halliwell to the classroom."

"Halliwell?" Riku hissed in disgust behind Sora, who was still a little embarrassed about the whole scene with Professor Lulu, "What the hell kind of last name is that?"

"I EXPECT you to show a little reverence in my classroom Mr. Riku." Professor Lulu hissed angrily at him. He laughed at her, which almost resulted in her losing her temper and probably expelling him. But the Professor kept her tongue as the new girl walked into the classroom.

"Hmph." Kairi said to Selphie in satisfaction, "She sure doesn't LOOK like a cheerleader."

At this remark, Sora had to look up. He couldn't help himself. He found himself staring at the new girl. He was amazed. He'd never- not once -seen a girl like this before. She had blonde hair down past her shoulders which was tied back in a bun, with one patch of hair shorter then the others hanging in the front of her face where her grayish-green eyes scanned the classroom anxiously. She was diffidently different. And then her body. It was amazing the structure she had, and the way she stood, shy and quiet, yet ready to lash out, with her skinny, yet build, body. And the pendant that hung from her necklace was mesmerizing as well. Three ovals all uniting at the ends to create an almost triangular center to the charm. It looked almost like magic the way it was crafted from the silver.

"Amanda has come a long way to be here with us today. So lets be KIND." Lulu said, stressing the word, kind. Then she went from her disciplinary voice to her welcoming voice, "Amanda, since you seem to be friends with Yuna, you may sit in the desk next to her since there are no more seats left."

"Thank you." Amanda said in a low voice, and made her way to the back of the class where Yuna and Paine sat. Lulu looked up at the clock and sighed.

"Well, with only five more minutes of class time left, I hardly think you want to learn more about history. So I'll be kind today and let you spent the last 5 minutes of your time as you wish." Lulu went to her desk and started grading tests while the classroom turned into a free-for-all once more.

Riku kicked the back of Sora's chair to get his attention. He whipped around to face Riku.

"What a loser." Riku said, "She looks like a nerd."

Sora didn't reply, but looked over at the new girl, still amazed by her. But he couldn't keep his eyes off that charm. Something about it looked oddly familiar.

"Yuna, you were right." Paine said, "I think I might grow to like her."

"Thanks." Amanda said grateful to attain another ally. She felt like she was among a vicious of man-eating Tasmanian devils.

"Don't mind Riku." Yuna whispered.

"He's a bastard to everyone." Paine added. Amanda nodded.

"I've meant my fair share of those…" Amanda said.

Then the lunch bell rang, and everyone cleared out of the room. Paine, Yuna and Amanda were the second to last ones out, except that white haired guy Riku that was an ass, a couple of Jocks, and a brown haired boy that caught Amanda's attention. Though she only glanced at him, she could tell by his posture he was different from his friends.
