Kurai Yume's note- I apologize ahead for the racial comments. There's out of characterness in here as well but bare with me okays? T he story has the theme of the years of Pearl Harbor event, but its not actually during it-catch my drift? And the song in here is sung by Trish Thuy Trang.

Chapter1- Some Girls Have it All

"Lonely."

Yuna sighed placing her book mark between chapter five. She closed the small lilac cover as a few girls walked by. 'Some people have friends, surrounding them all the time. Sometimes when a group of girls walk passed by me, laughing and telling each other secretes, my stomach suddenly tighten. I wanted that. But then I didn't want that,' Yuna thought resting her cheek on her right palm. 'Loneliness… Mother said it was always with me from the start.'

A loud collision of books slammed down onto her table. Yuna jumped in her seat startled by the piercing impact. She raised her bi-colored eyes and met up with a pair of vicious brown ones.

"Eww, look what we have here," Dona glared. Yuna's stomach knotted. She felt herself grew smaller by the second.

'"It's that one two colored eye, sushi eater," the girl with the black long pigtails picked up Yuna's book. She dangled it in front of Yuna. "How cute, she's trying to read."

"Give it back," Yuna wanted to yelled, but it came out diminutive and frail.

"Here," she held the book out. Yuna reached out for it. The girl with the pigtails tossed it to Dona before she could even touch it.

"The Jap wants her book?" Dona held a few pages in between her long artificial nails, ready to rip it.

"Don't, please…" Yuna's eyes widen as she heard the sound of tearing. Dona held several pages in between her red fake nails. The white Liberian watched closely from the counter.

"That's for sitting at our table. Your kind should stay outside." The other girl sneered.

Yuna felt a sudden unfamiliar detestation in her heart. She never felt so out of place. Tears slowly glazed over her mismatched eyes. Dona placed the book back on the round wooden table. Speechlessly Yuna grabbed her brown side bag and rest the strap over her petite shoulder.

"Hey, I'm really sorry," Donaapologized trying to look sweet and innocent. "Oops!" she mocked as she knocked the book off the table. Yuna bi-colored eyes became fury as she pushed all the tears back.

''I'm not gonna let them get to me,' Yuna hearten as she picked up her book ignoring Dona's wicked stare. Without saying another word Yuna walked out towards the exit of the library.

"Why the hell did you came here for? Go back to wherever you came from," they affronted. Yuna paused for a second with her back facing them as her head move slightly to the side, but then continued out of the library.

"You'll have to pay for the damage that was done to that book," the Librarian confirmed in a mono tone. Yuna looked up at the elderly woman.

"…But, I didn't do anything to it. They did," Yuna glance over at the two girls who were now in her seat.

"Its check out under your name, therefore you are responsible for it," the Librarian replied with a British accent. Yuna squint her eyes as her lip curved. She felt the rage add on, but politely Yuna pulled out a twenty dollar bill and threw it on the counter and left, over paying it.

Yuna thought proudly of herself as she marched down the hall looking at the room numbers and down to her schedule, for room 208. "I knew she thought low of me…and that I wasn't going to be able to pay for that book. That's the only reason she charged me. To make me look poor and embarrass, But I showed her…"

'That's when Yuna ran right into him, her history and science textbooks crashing to the floor along with her lilac novel. They both bend over to retrieve the books and bumped heads along the way. The two just stopped and burst out laughing. Yuna felt slightly dizzy at the moment. She reached out for her book instead meeting his hand. It felt warm and smooth.

"Gomen," she apologized in her native tongue, not noticing it as she retrieved her hand without the book.

"I'm Tidus. Sorry about that," he replied as he handed Yuna her stack of books

"Arigato…" Yuna's word came out slowly as it rolled off her peach lips. He let out a confused smile not understanding what she had said. Yuna couldn't help, but look at him, his cerulean eyes, his hair, and his smile. Her diverse eyes studied his sandy bleached strands that linger slightly past his ears. She wanted to touch them, to touch his face. She wanted to hear him say his name again. For a moment they stared at each other, neither saying a word. Yuna blinked, embarrass suddenly, and turned away from him. Tidus rose, then Yuna rose.

"Well…good-bye. I guess…I guess I'll see you around," he said softly, looking at Yuna for a moment longer before turning away heading down the hall, his blonde hair swaying gently.

"Tidus," Yuna whispered to herself as she hugged her books. She felt his name resolving around her, as though she was walking in a mist of it, of him, of Tidus.

Yuna stopped and glance back over her shoulder. He was looking at her. "Those blue eyes," she thought, smiling. He smiled back and waved as he turned around into a class room down the hall.

Lulu's Café was filled up with Japanese speakers. It was the only place in town where you can see so many Japanese people in a crowd. It's one of the few places Yuna felt belong, with her own kind. The small bar was decorated around with red paper lanterns and small paper cranes along the ceilings. There's always a performance or something going on.

Yuna cupped her cheek on her palm at the counter dreamingly. Her eyes gazed blankly across the small café as her mind wondered elsewhere. 'Tidus…Who did he go home to? Would he even remember me? Did he see it too, whatever it was that I saw, the moment when we looked into each other's eyes? What was it?' she thought as more questions came rushing into mind.

"How was school Yuna?" Lulu's voice was clear and soft. Yuna quickly snapped back to reality and quickly folded up the damped clothe that was lying on the counter.

"It's all right Aunt Lulu. It's a new school….an American school, and I'm still trying to find my way around," Yuna replied, avoiding the incident earlier.

"That's good to hear. Your parents are so proud of you for what you're becoming," Lulu placed her hand on Yuna's tired shoulder. You let out a weak smile. Neither of them spoke after that. A silence came over them as they stared out onto the small bar, but it felt normal.

"Yuna, you're up," Wakka enlightened.

"Me...? Already?" Yuna asked as her heart beat nervously. Wakka nodded as he staggered over to the little stage to announce his niece. Yuna let out a loud sighed as she took off her blue apron and placed it on the coat hanger. She pulled off the useless hair tie that was barely holding any of her chestnut hair back.

"You'll do just fine." Lulu added without looking at Yuna. Her eyes were still set across the room. Yuna nodded with belief of her aunt's words.

"Our next performer is very new at this and recently learning English as well. She wrote this piece on her own. It's called, "Some Girls Have it All." Please give a round of applause for my niece Yuna," Wakka exited off stage as the light turned dim.

The spot light traced Yuna's steps as she nervously walked up onto the stage and sat down on the piano stool. She fidgeted with her microphone into place. The audience waited quietly for her to begin. She glanced down at the piano and placed her feminine fingers on the ivory keys. Slowly she started a soft and smooth melody. Her foot paddled it consistently as the other instruments joined in. She inhaled deeply as she closed her eyes and her lyrics came out slowly…beautifully.

"Till tonight I'll be living…in your cold dark world. Silly dreams that last forever. I guess I should have known. But how was I supposed to know? That you were my innocent first love. I held nothing back for you…But in return I'm losing you…"

"I know some girls have it all, found their one true love. But I'm left with a broken heart. Some girls are like me, some have it all…" her eyes glance back down to the piano as her fingers continued hitting the keys. The piano played solo for a few moments as she began the second verse.

"I'd been saying to myself, 'Someday you will see.' That you mean the world to me. And we were meant to be. I guess I should have known. And moved on with my life. Instead of spending all of my time…pretending you're the one…"

"I know some girls have it all, found their one true love. But I'm left with a broken heart. Some girls are like me, some have it all…" Yuna shook her head slightly as her chestnut hair cascaded across her pale cheeks.

"I wanna know what love is all about…" Yuna's tone rose, "I want my life before you…" her voice piercing peacefully through the small crowd. Yuna maintain the piano's melody for a few moments as the flute came in with its solo.

"I know some girls have it all, found their one true love. But I'm left with a broken heart. Some girls are like me, some have it all…"

"Some have it all…" she closed her eyes and opened them gradually to an applauding crowd. Wakka cheered on with thumbs up as Lulu smiled on proudly. Yuna returned the smile with relief.
