Okay! You all should know that I'm the same author from the story 'What Counts Inside, Not Out.' Well this time, the story will be a bit different, no makeovers or such. Yet, I REALLYREALLYREALLYWANTTHISSTORYTOHAVEALOTOFREVIEWS. Hehehe, yeah, many of you should know that I have something called 'Torture Time'. If I dont have enough reviews, something called Torture Time will happen. What happens? I DONT UPDATE UNTIL I HAVE ENOUGH REVIEWS. Yeah, back to the story :D. I was inspired by a book a was reading, 'This Lullaby'

Quick Summary- When a new band comes to Namine's school, they instantly become girl's new dream boyfriends. Except for Namine. Yet, its strange how the leader, Roxas, has a crush on her. Namines tough, he has to admit, but in somewhat way, he was certain he would change her. When Namine finally gives in and changes, why is it that the cute guy Riku is suddenly into her? And what if Namine's worst enemy tries to win Roxas over? (And Namine's friends fall for Roxas's friends)

Pairings: Riku x Namine x Roxas. Sora x Kairi. Selphie x Tidus. Rinoa x Squall / Leon. Olette x Hayner

By the way, the story is Namine's Point of View

I walked to school, and was greeted by my best friends. Ah, the usual routine. Again, Selphie started telling her about the new hottest guy in school. As if reading my mind, Kairi suddenly changed the subject with, "Did you study for Mr. Seph's test today? Its going to be SO HARD.". While Olette suddenly remembered. "Oh my gosh! I totally forgot! I had to massage my grannies toes. Those evil little demons." Olette hissed, as if we really cared about the fact that everytime her grandmother came to her house, she would massage her feet. Gross.

Each of us were different in our own ways. How? Easy, I'll introduce you. Kairi was the normal pretty genius any guy would want to date. Olette was the prettiest and the sweetest little thing alive. Selphie? Selphie was just...Selphie. She was the most energetic. She ate like ten pounds of sugar, and she still had an average body type. Sometimes I wish I was like Selphie. Oh, and she is the only matchmaker girl in school. And there is me, Namine Jessica Wenchfield. I hate my last name, not to mention my father. I was hardcore in my group, and the toughest at that, I never sucked up to people. And I definately have the guts to punch any jerk. Especially Erin Asunion. She and I have been rivals longer than I can remember, and I'm good at remembering.

"Hey, Namine!" Rinoa called out, passing by me, giving me her pretty smile. Oh, how can I forget the last friend I had? Rinoa Usagi, the most popular girl in school. She had riches, popularity, and a gorgous self. She was the only girl in the school who was popular and actually had a heart to stick up for people.

I gave a smile myself, "Hey! Whats up?". Rinoa had a smile I reconized. She was in love again. I rolled my eyes and grinned, "Who is it this time?". Rinoa had a look as if she didnt know what that was suppose to mean, even though I absolutely knew she knew.

"Aww, you cant hold it in you forever! Spill the beans, sis" Kairi butted in, obviously noticing Rinoa's love smile. Rinoa pouted, "Is it that obvious?" She asked, changing her face to another smile. "Yeah, so whose the lucky guy?" I asked, as Rinoa pointed at a group of guys. "I heard his name was Leon" Rinoa grinned.

"Then you should make a move before that idiot Erin does." I said, a disgusted look on my face.

Rinoa had a thoughtful look on her face. "You think so?" She asked, pressing her pointer finger to her chin. She looked so adorable looking like that.

"DUH!" Kairi and I chanted, laughing at how we ended up having the same answer. I took another look at him, he was new, obviously, since Erin hadn't been seen flirting with him...yet.

"Is he new?" I asked Rinoa who nodded her head. "Yeah, he and a couple of friends. Supposedly they are a band from Traverse Town. They dropped out in school until they suddenly became seniors. Like us!" Rinoa said, pointing to the mob of guys again. With that, Rinoa left us behind with her evil possy and went to talk to Leon. I took another peek, if they were the band type. There were five of them, including Leon.

Three were blonde, and two brunette. Once I saw Selphie looking at the band, she drooled over one of the blondes in a yellow shirt. "There goes hottie of the year alert..." I heard Olette say, as she rolled her eyes at Selphie's action. Rinoa came back, a frown on her face, "He is so mean!" Rinoa said, stamping her foot down. "Anyway, his friends are so sweet! I found out their names-"

"WHATSTHENAMEOFTHECUTEBLONDEGUYINTHEYELLOWSHIRT!" Selphie jumped, then quickly kneeling on the floor begging.

"As I was saying, the one Selphie is drooling over is Tidus. Sora is the other brown haired guy in the black outfit, Leon is the first guy with the leather clothes and all. Hayner is the one with the green clothes, and...thats strange. I dont remember the last boy telling me his." Rinoa thought for a second if the name was going to come out, but it didnt seem to have any ideas.

"Ah, well, we gotta go to class! See you at third period!" I said to Rinoa. I wasnt really going to the class, but I noticed Rinoa's friends were glaring at us. Selphie, after having a long time to stop drooling over Tidus said, "I know the absolute best couples for you guys!".

"Good luck finding one for Namine" Olette said, making the rest of my friends laugh. Okay, I admit it. My friends are crazy about boys, yet I'm the only one who thinks of them as people who treat you like dirt. I always do have to tell them that knowledge first, boys second.

"Dont worry, she can go with that one guy Rinoa forgot about. Kairi, your going with the Sora dude, since he is awesomely cute, just like you! Olette, go with Hayner since he is wearing your favorite color. Rinoa will go with Leon, since they are both tall." Selphie said, pointing out to every one of us who was going with who.

I looked at the time and froze, "Two minutes until class! And I did not get my books from my locker yet!" I shouted, running to my locker which was at the other side of the school.

Ah, I bumped into someone, and honestly, it hurt. I fell back, hurting my bruised head. Stupid guy in the way, stupid stupid stupid. "Oh! Sorry about that. I guess I was rushing too fast to my class." A deep voice of a male said, holding out his hand. Ignoring it, I stood up myself, without a need of help.

"Watch it next time you bastard" I hissed as I looked up to see who it was. It was that guy in the band Rinoa didnt remember the name. He was wearing clean white clothes, and he had really pretty eyes, that I found myself staring at instead.

"Roxas." The guy said, a happy plastered on his place. I glared at him. "What did you call me?" I hissed, tapping my foot in annoyance.

"Its my name" Roxas said, making me feel embarressed for making a mistake. He gave a cheesy smile, "And yours is?"

"Stay-out-of-my-life-if-you-want-to-live" I snapped at him, making sure he heard every stinkin word right. I pushed him aside and hurried to my locker. That brat, wasted time to get to class.

When I finally made it to math class, Mr. Cloud, gave me a glare. "Tardy, Miss Namine?" he asked, no sense of joy of happiness in his words. I nodded my head, but when I went to my desk, I saw Erin sitting there politely, an smirk on her face. 'Bitch' I mouthed out to her, my body facing the other way so Mr Cloud couldnt see me and my action.

"Since you were late, sit next to Mr. Roxas" I groaned and I wished there was another Roxas in class, but there wasnt, and the same guy I bumped into snickered. "So we meet again" he whispered at me.

"Shut up. I already told you to leave me alone" I glared, turning the other way, but seeing Erin in my seat made me balistic. I was going to sit in the back too. Jeez, and now I got to sit with a clutz. When class was over, I intended to walk to my second period, not even stopping to say anything to my friends. I was stopped by a voice I regretted to listen to. "So your name is Namine" Roxas said, grinning. I wondered if he was just grinning at me, or grinning at Erin, who started flirting with him before I even got to school.

"Roooxxxiie!" Erin said, clinging to Roxas's arm, making Roxas back away very slowly. As if trying to make me jealous, Erin stared at me and gave me an evil smile, she went up on her tippy toes, since Roxas was tall, and planted a kiss on the cheek that made me want to barf in disgust. Roxas raised an eyebrow, and wiped his cheek off. He pushed Erin aside. "You make me sick" I hissed as I ignored him and walked to my locker.

Olette, Kairi, and Selphie came to greet me at my locker, with somewhat juicy news. "Guess what! Sora is in my class! He is soooooo cute and sweet and adorable and hott and-" Kairi started.

"Yeah, yeah Kai, we get it. He is your type. Well I'm with...-" Selphie started, only until I cut her off.

"If this is about Tidus, dont tell us" I said, making Selphie sigh in disappointment.

"Yeah, well I'm with Hayner!" Olette giggled. Fortunatly, they already had their books in their hands, while I opened my locker. Luckily, we all had the same class next. Mr. Seph's class. He gives us the creeps, always staring at Mr. Strife. I seriously dont wanna know.

Rinoa came by us, alone thank goodness. She was smiling, that love dovey smile. "Guess what!" She started, and we all knew the answer.

"Leons in your class?" We all chanted at the same time. Rinoa pouted, "What gave that away?"

We all walked to English class, scowling at Mr Sephy before we all took a seat. Since Rinoa's friends didnt want her to sit with us, she couldnt sit and join the fun. Selphie, Kairi, Olette, and I sat like a square in the middle of all the desks. Kairi and I sat in the row infront of Selphie and Olette. We were whispering and talking, mostly giggling, until we heard screans from girls. We all looked at what the big deal was.

"Oh no." I hissed, as I covered my face with my hands. Mr Sephiroth smiled as he held on to the shoulder of a boy, whats his face...Tidus. "Welcome to your five new stupid- I mean students in this class!" Mr Seph said, an unenthusiastic face planted on him.

"You, sit next to Selphie, that empty desk." Mr Seph instructed, as the teenager did what he was told.

"Its Tidus" He grumbled, taking a seat.

"Yeah, Tiedus." Mr Seph said, not taking another glance.

"ITS TIDUS!" Tidus shouted, pounding his fist on the desk.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Seph said, as he turned to Sora.

"YOU! Sit in front of Miss Kairi, yeah, the one desk in front of her." Seph said to Sora. Kairi blushed seven shades of red, when Sora passed by and gave her a cheesy grin. I nudged her to smile back, which she did, with a clumsy smile.

"You, Squall whats-your-face. Sit there behind Rinoa, the pretty girl with a 'poshy'" Mr. Seph said, as he thought about the last seating arrangement.

"First of all, the names Leon. And second, its 'possy' not 'poshy' you old man." Leon grunted as he sat behing Rinoa, who glared at him.

Seph looked shocked, and looked at himself in a mirror lookin for wrinkles. "Anyway" he said, not looking up from the mirror, "Blonde kid, sit next to Sora, in front of Namine. Now open your textbooks to page 2,554, and read up to pages 44,545. If you dont finish, its homework.".

Namine groaned, not only because of the assignment, but the thought of Mr. Roxas sitting in front of me. I felt a tap behind me, Selphie. "I told you he is a good match" She mouthed out. I rolled my eyes, yet Selphie grinned.
