Chapter One: Summer's End

Namine shuffled down the streets of Twilight Town, not wanting to be late to work again. She was currently sixteen and working at a local ice cream shop called "Brain Freeze". She liked that place, mostly because of Riku. Riku was the soul reason why she okay with waking up at six in the morning on weekends and why she put up with him.

Him was Roxas Hikari. He was her co-worker, the one thing she hated the most in the world, and Riku's friend. Just because he was Riku's friend, Namine put up with him although she made it clear that she disliked him. Namine pushed through the glass doors and darted to the back of the room. "I'm not late!" She declared, putting on her apron with the Brain Freeze logo on it.

"Namine! Finally you're on time." Riku grinned at her. Namine felt herself melt at the sight of him.

"Ye-yeah. I finally got the alarm fixed." She replied. She was about to go on about how she had to rush here but she realized that she had forgotten about her cap. "Crap," She muttered. "Where'd I put that thing?"

"Hm?" Riku asked. He got behind the counter and started to place a new tub of sea salt ice cream on the display.

"Nothing, I'm just looking for my stupid cap." She replied. The cap was part of the uniform, in her opinion it made her look stupid but Riku said it made her look adorable. Namine cringed at the word adorable. It wasn't a bad word at all...if you were twelve.

Being described as adorable wasn't something Namine was aiming for. No, she was aiming for beautiful, gorgeous, even cute would do. Yes, there was a difference between cute and adorable! A HUGE difference in fact. Cute was something you could describe your girlfriend or someone you think of more than a friend, but adorable was something you would say about a baby or to a little girl.

"Here it is!" She slipped the cap on and turned to smile at Riku. Instead, a glob of ice cream made it's way down her forehead and onto her apron. She let out a loud shriek and ran into the Employee's Loft to see a hysterical Roxas sprawled across the couch. Namine grabbed a pillow at the end of the couch and began battering him with it, "It's not funny!"

"Yeah it is! You should have seen your face!" He said in between laughs. "It's like you thought it was blood trickling down your face!"

Namine continued to glare at him, "You know, the place was so much better without you!" She yelled.

"What? Cause you had Riku all to yourself?" He smirked.

Namine blushed, "N-no! It's cause you're so annoying! You always find a way to get under my skin!" She snapped.

Roxas stood up and began fixing his uniform, "And you don't? What about the time you messed with the machine during my shift so none of the ice cream would stop flowing out of the nozzle? I ended up staying for three more hours just to clean the place up!"

She smiled at that memory. It was a little harsh, but she wouldn't have to get back at him if he hadn't tinkered with her cash register so it wouldn't open up. She ended up losing a lot of money and the boss got really mad at her for that.

Riku walked in on the two glaring daggers at each other. "Uh..Am I interrupting something?" He asked.

Namine tore her gaze off of him and turned to Riku, "No, you weren't interrupting anything!"

"Oh, 'cause it looked to me like you two were about to get into another fight again." He said.

"Is that unusual?" Roxas grinned. He made his way over to his friend and pounded his fist. Namine wondered how on earth sweet, sensitive, deep, and laid back Riku could be friends with a Roxas. Roxas was the definition of a nightmare. He had about as much depth of a first dimensional cartoon. In other words, Roxas was the exact opposite of Riku. He wasn't sweet and he definitely wasn't sensitive!

Riku shrugged. Since the day that he had introduced the two to each other, there wasn't a day that Riku could go on without having peace and quiet between them. Riku had known Roxas from Soccer camp and when he and his older step brother, Axel, moved to Twilight Town in fifth grade he thought that he'd want to meet Namine and his group of friends. Meeting the gang, Seifer, Pence, Hayner, and Sora was no big deal for Roxas. They easily accepted him and because of Axel, they had some close ties to some seniors like Larxene, Zexion, Tidus, Wakka, and Demyx.

Namine, however was a different story. At first everything was going fine but things went downhill when he left the two alone together for five minutes.

******

"I'm back you guys! I brought some pocky with me so we could all just-" A ten year old Riku stared in horror as the two blonds were wrestling each other on the floor. He rushed over and pulled Roxas away from Namine. "What are you doing? You can't hit a girl!"

Namine grabbed onto Riku and stuck her tongue at Roxas. "He's crazy! Keep him away from me!" Namine said.

"I'm crazy? You're the one who made a big deal out of nothing!" He shot back. "I said I was sorry!"

"Yeah, but you pinched me after wards!" She pointed out.

"Only cause you bit me! I probably have rabies because of you!" He glared at her.

"I don't have rabies!" The blond stated.

"Do too!" Roxas sang.

"Do not!" Namine retorted.

"Do. Too."

"Do. Not!"

*******

Since then, the two have been enemies. Riku wasn't able to pick sides, mainly because they were BOTH his friends but also because he wasn't one to get in the middle of things.

He looked at his wrist watch and sighed, "We better get working. It's almost opening time."

"I bet I'll get more customers than you!" Roxas grinned and rushed out of the room.

Riku rolled his eyes. "How much do you wanna bet?"

Namine sighed as she watched the two boys run over to their stations. She felt like she was trapped in some Taylor Swift song, why couldn't he see just how much she wanted him? He was everything to her.

*******

Namine found herself rushing again. This time to catch the school bus. She blamed her older brother, Cloud, for hogging the shower. "Wait!" She cried when the bus door slammed shut in her face. The bus driver looked at her and then rolled his eyes. He opened the door and Namine climbed in. "Thanks, Cid!"

"Get here earlier!" Cid told her as she made her way to where Olette and Kairi were sitting. Fuu and Selphie sat across from them, Selphie was going on about how you never wear high tops with capri pants to Fuu.

Namine chuckled at the two and sat next to Kairi. "Hey guys!" She greeted them. "A new year, a new wardrobe?" Selphie was clad in an off-the-waist yellow dress paired with brown sandals. Last year Selphie had been all about vintage goth and the year before that she was all about the 80's rebel look, and the year before that she was wearing tie-dye shirts, shirts with the peace sign on it, and wore headbands all the time.

"Yup. I'm trying to go for the bohemian look." She replied. Selphie eyed her friends' outfit and nodded her head approvingly. "It's the first day, and I want us all to look good!"

Fuu shrugged, "Looks aren't everything."

"I have to agree," Kairi said. "We can't be so superficial right? I mean, would you still be friends with me if I was always on the worst dressed list?" Here in Twilight High, they had a list that was posted in the girl's bathroom wall about who was the best dressed. As expected, Selphie was always number one.

Selphie hesitated before answering. "Selphie!" Kairi exclaimed. Selphie laughed and assured her that she was just joking. "You better be." Kairi grinned. "So how was your Summer, you guys?"

"Boring." Olette replied. "I spent my summer at the library helping out my mom." Olette's mother worked at the local library and forced Olette to work their as her summer job.

"Yeah, well things could've been better for me too." Namine informed her green eyed friend. "As usual, Roxas ruined my Summer. I thought it was just going to be me and Riku working together, but apparently he thought it would be a good idea if Roxas worked with us too."

"On the bright side, Riku's there to cheer you up!" Kairi said. "My summer was great! I met the perfect guy and his name's Jayden. We met while I was at Destiny Islands and we just hit it off. Too bad I won't see him. Ever." She ended with a sad note.

"That sucks. But that's why you have Sora don't you?" Fuu asked. Kairi stared at her. "What? Don't you see? Sora is in-like with you!"

The redhead shook her head vigorously, "He doesn't for the last time! The two of us are just friends!" She had no idea why her friends kept insisting that Sora liked her, sure he was especially nice to her and he always walked her home and held her hand but that's what friends did, didn't they? "Well how was your Summer Fuu? It's your first time without Seifer, isn't it?" She asked, eager to change the subject.

Fuu sighed. Seifer was her best friend. The two basically grew up together in diapers together and she had been upset when he decided to move to Traverse Town in the middle of Sophomore year. He had promised that he would write to her everyday but after five months, the letters just stopped coming. "Yeah, it wasn't like it used to be but it wasn't all bad. I spent my summer in a basketball camp."

"That's supposed to be good?" Selphie asked. "You run around and get all sweaty!" She exclaimed.

Fuu cracked a smile and rolled her eyes at her overly girly friend. "What did you do for the summer?"

Selphie shrugged, "The usual. We went on vacation with Tidus and his family. And Yuna." Tidus was a senior, the boy she loved and decided was the only one for her. Yuna just happened to be his girlfriend. Selphie had no problem with Yuna whatsoever, she liked the girl. She was glad that it was Yuna and not some bitchy girl that Tidus decided to make his girlfriend. Still, Selphie was not about to lose hope of the idea that Tidus would someday break up with Yuna and run straight into her arms.

"Did it suck being around them when they, you know, kiss?" Olette asked.

"They never got a chance to. I made sure that there were never alone." Selphie grinned.

"You're nice." Namine replied. The bus stopped to let in a group of boys. She slumped into her seat and prepared for the worst. Roxas was coming. He and Sora and Axel. She didn't have a problem with Axel, his step brother, or Sora. In fact they were all on good terms.

Roxas and Sora sat down in the seat behind her, making Namine feel irritated. Axel sat with Zexion and Demyx at the very back. She turned to face Roxas and glared at him. "Why are you sitting behind me?"

"So I can do this," He said reaching over and poking her on her bare shoulder with a sharp pencil tip. Namine jumped and glared at him.

"Roxas, could you not start something today?" Sora asked. He turned to the group of girls and smiled, "Hey guys! Hey Kairi!"

Olette looked at Kairi and smiled. Kairi blushed and turned back to Sora, "Hey Sora."

"STOP!" Namine yelled, slapping Roxas' hand.

"You know, If I didn't know any better I would say that you like her." Selphie told him. Namine gave her a look but the brunette ignored it.

"Are you serious? I hate her!" Roxas replied.

"Good, I hate you too!" Namine snapped back. She turned her back to him and crossed her arms over her chest. "You see what I had to put up with for the whole summer?"

Kairi looked at her sympathetically and said, "Let's just hope that you don't have him in any of your classes."
