.: I don't own ff8... BUT HOW I WISH I DO!!! ;p and I really wish there were more LagunaXRaine fics. :.
.: This is meant to be the whole uncut story behind LagunaXRaine... from their childhood until after the game ends! well my version of it at least ;D Let's start off with their teenage years... (I'll get to the childhood part in the latter chapters! Promise! I don't want to tell the story in correct sequence coz it wouldn't be as exciting...;p) :.

Summer had come early this year. June had only begun but the sun was already shining so brightly. And not to mention the temperature, which seemed to be at its highest.
"Leonheart!" called a stern voice.
She was dozing off again. It took a few more calls until the guy seated in front of her, trying not to be obvious, tapped her and whispered, "Hey Raine, wake up! Instructor can see you."
"Wha-? Oh oh ok... Thanks Laguna." She said and then turned towards her instructor. "Yes, instructor?"
"Ms.Leonheart. Sleeping in my class...again? Tell me... am I really boring you that much?" the instructor asked in a sarcastic manner.
"I'm sorry instructor! The weather makes me dizzy. I can't stand the heat."
"Of course you can't!" a guy from across the room teased. "Raine and sun!" Then he laughed controllably.
"Whoo-hoo! Nice one, Dirk-meister!" said another guy (probably a member of his cornball of a posse...#$) and their whole gang started high 5ing each other.
"Oh shut up, Dirk, you jerk!" shouted a girl from the other side of the room. "You are the corniest person alive!"
"Shut up huh?" Dirk retorted "Make me!"
The rest of the class started joining in. All hell was breaking lose!
"Ok.. CLASS!! SETTLE DOWN!" shouted the instructor, trying to gain order. But no one seemed to be listening.
"Losers!!" two other girls who sat beside the first girl shouted, doing the "L" sign with their fingers to the boys.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!! the bell had sounded.
"Thank Hyne! I absolutely dislike this class!" the instructor said to herself as she left the classroom.
The arguing had not entirely ceased but it quieted down little by little and one by one, the people in class started exiting the classroom. Raine was still a bit dizzy (she wasn't faking an excuse!). She was still fixing her things. Laguna was about to leave, but he decided to wait for Raine. When she was done, she stood up and at that moment, Laguna approached her.
"Hey, I'm sorry."
Raine looked puzzled. "What for?"
"I wasn't able to cover you from Instructor Grouchbag"
"Hey no prob! That wasn't your fault."
"And sorry for not being able to defend you like your fans club."
"Wha-?!"
"Heh heh... I'll make it up to you by carrying your things for you alright?" Without waiting her acknowledgment, he just grabbed her things.
Raine giggled. "Thanks! ...They are not my fans club! They're just a bunch of---" She was cut off. Both of them heard a loud squeal coming from those three girls outside the classroom. Raine knew exactly what this meant.
"I'm really sorry but I don't think this is a good time for you to carry my things. I guess you know what's coming up. So... see ya tomorrow!"
"Oh that... Alrighty then. See ya!" Laguna said, trying to act cheerful about it. "3... 2... 1...", he continued silently but loud enough for Raine to hear and giggle about.
At 1, the three girls from earlier, Kate (leader type) and the twins Jen and Jaq, rudely pulled Raine away towards the outside of the classroom after giving Laguna a mean look.
It was the same thing all the time. The girls would appear out of nowhere and drag Raine off to where they pleased.
She angrily turned towards the girls and reprimanded them, "You know what? You three are so rude! Why do you always drag me out of rooms and--- ?" She needed not continue the question for she already knew the answer. A tall blond jock approached them.
