note: a short one shot for kutlessrocker

Naminé hated art class. She loved art, she just hated the class. Kairi was at her table. So was Sora, and the ever silent Cloud. And she walked through the empty hallways, taking her time. After all, she had another three minutes, and the door was right about thirty seconds away. The platinum blonde walked into the classroom, and sat down at her table. The devil redhead was chatting with Sora. Then she saw Naminé. "Ew. What the hell are you wearing? That's so ugly, right Sora?" Sora was like a slave to Kairi. "Of course, Kairi." The blonde didn't respond.

Naminé had liked Sora once. Before 7th grade, he'd been nice to her. But now he was slave to the devilhead, as she liked to call it. She liked the another boy now, named Roxas. He sits with the other five kids at the "Table of 'X'iles." Xion, Demyx, Zexion, Axel, and Luxord. Naminé had sat there once. They were all quite nice. But Naminé sat alone now. She didn't really feel right in there.

"Jeez, mine looks so ugly, Sora." said Kairi, holding up her painting. To Naminé, it honestly didn't look that bad. But of course, Sora said, "It's wonderful." And Kairi would pretend that it would make her day, and then she'd look at Naminé's and say, "Isn't that so ugly, Sora?" The brunette nodded. "It's simply...amateurish." Kairi laughed. "Good word. Hear that Naminé? It's amateurish." Sora smiled. To be quite honest, Namine wanted to rip Kairi's throat out. But she continued along with her drawing, shading in a light blue in a different angle.

The class flew by. So did the next two.

Then came lunch. The gears were working furiously in Naminé's head. 'Should I sit near Roxas?', 'Should I meet new friends?', or 'Should I sit alone?'

The blonde sat alone, at the thirteenth table. Here, it was quiet. She ate her salad quietly. She drank her water bottle quietly. She didn't notice the other blonde heading towards her table. "Naminé, right?" said Roxas. She nodded. "Listen, you wanna go sit with us?" He extended his hand towards her.

Naminé took it.

The next few days were bliss. She was finally laughing and actually smiling, which she hadn't in a long time. Naminé even endured through Art, just thinking about lunch.

It was too good to be true.

And unfortunately, it was.

As the days passed, it was like she was just there. Not talked to at the table. Merely ignored. Maybe they shouldn't have ignored her. Maybe they shouldn't have treated her like their sixth wheel. Especially on her 14th birthday. Not even Roxas, the boy who had invited her to their table noticed.

everybody's got to jump someday.

And as Namine finished drawing a picture of the group, Roxas, Xion, Demyx, Zexion, Axel and Luxord, she began to add another character into the picture. A small girl, with blonde hair. Blue eyes. A nice white dress. She colored it in, and added depth. She laid it down onto the floor of the roof she was sitting on.

She looked out, at the sunny sky, the beautiful clouds, and the late students coming into the school. Naminé smiled.

She jumped.
