The young teenage girl blinked her eyes in exhaustion then sat up in her bed with an annoyed look. She was woke by the sudden flash of light on her face put there by her mother opening the curtains. The woman standing next to the window looked down at her and said,
"come on wake up Yuna time to get up" she quickly left the room and the teenager laid back down with a long sigh hoping to fall back to sleep, which soon ended due to the voice of her mother telling her to get up again. Soon after forcing herself out of her bed and get ready for school. It was once again a new beginning of a bad day.
She went quickly walked to the bathroom knowing that she only had about ten minutes to take a warm shower, her bathroom was a small and cozy bathroom, the room radiated a nice soothing feeling. It wasn't very well lit, the room consisted of only one light on top of the ceiling with one light bulb lit. The light faintly showed the smooth yellow surface of the wall above the sink. The sink wasn't meant to contain many hygienic products it was very small and had only one drawer.
The shower was against the wall to the far right and the toilet to the far left. The shower wasn't very big either but it couldn't be, in order to fit in the small room. Yuna soon stripped out of her pajamas and turned on the shower only to wait a few more minutes for the water to heat. Yuna had very strong legs and a muscular abdomen. She didn't know it but she was very attractive. She was shorter than most girls and had less money but she was happy for who she was. She slowly stepped into the dark shower and let the warm comforting water run down her hair onto her back. After washing her hair and gently scrubbed her body she stepped out of the shower and dried her self off with a blue towel that hung on a hook nearby.
She stepped across the hall back into her room and to her rather small closet. She had plenty cloths but none of them where in very good condition or very "in style". But she couldn't afford anything else. She slipped the long jean skirt over her strong legs and put a red sweat shirt over her body. Her next step was to the bathroom again to comb out her hair.
She then put on her black boots. She looked like she did every other day even though it didn't look very attractive, the outfit hid all her curves and muscular stomach. She rarely let any skin show unless she was alone for the day. She opened the door to her room and walked past one other room even smaller than hers, on her way to the end of the hall where there was a flight of stairs leading down to the first floor of her home. The first floor wasn't filled with rooms or a living room with a TV but with potions and antique potion books. Her mother ran a very small potion store that made them just enough money to get by. Her mother made most of the potions that are sold mainly because they can't afford to buy and sell them. They didn't own a car either, but a small motorcycle because gas was cheaper. Her family mainly went for the cheaper way out because they need the money to buy food or supplies to make potions.
She got to the bottom of the stair case and went into a small back room that led off the stairs. Her mother made this their kitchen. It had a small stove, a figurater, and a small table in the middle. On the top of the figurater is a microwave that appeared like it was twenty years old. Yuna's mother was in the kitchen cooking like she did every morning before Yuna went to school and her mother started working at the potion store. They didn't get many customers but it was the only way her mother could make money.
"Do you want some pancakes before school Hun?" her mother asked of her.
"No not today I don't feel like pancakes right now" responded Yuna
"Okay" her mother said in a hurt voice but Yuna just ignored it.
Yuna quickly picked up her backpack and left without another word spoken. She went to the end of her long paved driveway that had pine trees planted on each side and stood their waiting for the bus. The bus quickly rounded the corner going at a high speed and slammed on its brakes right in front of her like every other day. She was always the first person on the bus so she got her choice in what seat she sits in. She didn't have many friends that road her bus, actually she didn't have many friends at this school.
She climbed onto the bus and started walking to the back where she always sat, in the corner by herself. She sat down and didn't even realize that someone was sitting across the isle from her. The unnoticed person glanced at her and decided that they would try and talk to the rather depressed looking girl.
"What's your name?" the orange haired high pitched girl asked. Yuna was startled by the sudden voice, she didn't even know that someone else was on the bus. "Yuna" she replied shyly.
"My names Rikku" the girl replied, "What grade are you in?" Rikku asked
"I'm a Junior" Yuna responded without hesitation like she's been asked this often.
"I'm a Freshman" Rikku said with a sad look on her face, as she kept rambling on something about her old school and how she grew up.
This girl is so annoying she never stops talking I wish she would just leave me alone, I don't even know her and she's telling me her whole life story.
"Looks like we aren't going to have any classes together then" Rikku stated and relieved Yuna a little to hear that, she wouldn't have to talk to this person very much longer.
Yuna just ignored this comment from Rikku and pretended that she was sleeping hoping that the girl would leave her alone. Yuna didn't really like talking to many people and wanted most people to leave her in peace. She wasn't always like this, ever since the…accident she has changed in many different ways. She used to be the happy perky girl in school. But after her father died everything in her world got tipped upside down and everything changed.
She tried to be happy like she used to be but just couldn't hold that personality because of the sorrow that overwhelmed her. Her father and her where very close they went everywhere with each other. But after the blitz ball game on the way home a drunk was driving down their road when they where coming home. He didn't see them and hit Yuna and her father's car. The car was non fixable and her father was put into the hospital for 6 months with an extreme concussion which caused rapid bleeding in his head which forced him to go into coma.
Yuna's mother "pulled the plug" after about a year and a half sitting in the hospital praying that he would wake up. Yuna's mother tried her best to support them but they soon lost the house and had to buy an older, smaller one downtown. They had to sell most of their stuff to keep food in the house. Then her mother opened a potion business. Then everything started to get better. Yuna never expected her life to get any better than what it is now, she knows her mother wont be able to afford the 100,000 dollars for college. Yuna will have to get a job right out of high school.
Yuna doesn't have any friends at her school and doesn't really want any. All the kids at North Zanarkand High School is filled with mostly rich and spoiled people, there is rare exceptions though. There are the regular dumb jocks, the artists, and the "smart people", and the emotional unstable people. Yuna is mainly a loner she doesn't rely on anyone and she's mainly by herself for the whole day until she goes home to her mother and helps run the store. Her father used to be able to afford a large house and he could have put her through college until the accident.
"They turned right to drive down their road and where talking about the blitz ball game the just came from a while before. A car came over into their lain and hit them strait on, there was a loud clang and gas started leaking everywhere. Yuna's father hit his head on the steering wheel and bounced back into the seat mainly because the air bag failed to come out. He was knocked unconscious and couldn't move. His head was bleeding profusely soon his cloths where covered in red blood. The drunk's car caught fire and soon exploded and Yuna ducked under the dashboard in fear. She didn't know what to do, she just sat there waiting afraid to come out because of what she would see, or what could happen. She didn't notice her father was bleeding all over the driver side seat and onto the steering wheel. She just hid. She didn't know what to do and didn't know what was going on it happened all suddenly."
Yuna was soon jolted away from her memories when the girl sitting across the isle shook her and told her they where at school. She quickly thanked the girl and got her bag and stepped into the isle to get off. She soon got to the school and put her stuff into her locker. Her first class was Algebra Yuna never liked Algebra and wasn't good at it. She tried though and guessed that would have to be good enough.
She walked down the crowded hall and suddenly someone stepped into her path. She knew who it was, it was the star blitz ball player that was the most popular guy in school and apparently the hottest guy in Zanarkand High. Him and his buddies just loved to torment her. She never found out why they liked bothering her so much but she just ignored them. She stepped to the left of the big blond haired blue eyed boy but he just turned around and he quickly blocked her path again with his muscular body.
"What do you want now?" Yuna asked in a patronizing voice and glared at him.
"When are you going to start talking to people and maybe get new cloths?" He said in a tormenting voice. "I mean it just shows that your too poor to afford any cloths and that you live in poverty" He soon stretched his arm out and grabbed her shirt and jerked his hand away as in disgust.
"When will you learn to not to be a total jackass" Yuna shot back and soon pushed him out of her way and walked hastily to her class, before he could say another word, he usually said something a lot worse than this, usually something about her dead father and how worthless she is.
She was used to his insults he did it almost everyday but always said something new and just as horrible. She truly hated him, he always picked on her or took her stuff and hid them somewhere in the school. She always just ignored him and hoped that he would leave her alone the next day. But she soon accepted that he would never leave her alone.
Yuna finally reached her class and walked in, everybody was staring at her but she didn't seem to care and she went to the corner of the room and sat down where she always did. Soon Lulu walked in, she was a dark gothic kind of person, she made her own cloths and acted the way she wanted to and didn't care what people thought.
She is not a pushover like other girls are, no one bothers her because they know she will kick their ass, Yuna soon learned to envy her for her beauty and her tough exterior. Lulu and Yuna talked a little bit but not enough to be friends. Today she was wearing a quite revealing dress made out of belts, it had feather like material at the shoulders and around her neck. She also had a twin sister who was just as gothic but even quieter than Lulu was. Her name is Paine, or at least that's what everyone calls her, she looks a lot like her sister. They both have red eyes and have a fierce look to them.
Lulu came to the same corner and sat right next to Yuna as usual. Mr. Mika soon started with a lecture like every other class day. He was saying something about graphing y-intercept or something like that.
Yuna tried to pay attention in math class but she found it to be terribly boring. She soon started dozing off into space until she heard a loud rap on the class door. And who could have guessed it, it was Tidas Almasy.
"Sorry I couldn't find the classroom." He said in an ashamed voice.
"You will get a break for today, but if you're late again Tidas I have to send you to the white room." Mr. Mika said in disgust. Unfortunately the only desk left for him to sit in was next to Yuna and Lulu. Yuna didn't like this and wrinkled her nose in disgust. Tidas walked up to them and sighed in sadness that he wasn't going to be sitting next to anyone more interesting. He soon sat down at Yuna's left, Yuna figured that he sat there of all places to bother her like he all so loved to do.
For about half way through the lecture he didn't say a word to Yuna or Lulu, actually he didn't talk at all. Yuna decided to read one of her books instead of listening to the lecture that was coming out of Mr. Mika's mouth. As soon as she took out her book and started reading, a note flew across her desk. Yuna looked around in wonder and picked up the note and unfolded the carefully folded corners.
"Jeez math is boring isn't it?"
-Tidus
Yuna read the rather small note and looked over at him and glared obviously not very happy and through the note back at him. Soon the note landed on her desk right on top of her book once again.
"What's your problem, I was just trying to start a conversation."
-Tidus
What did he think the problem was, he only picked on her almost everyday throughout her high school courier, does he really expect me to talk to him, he has to be one of the most naive people in school. Yuna thought about his note and how he was so arrogant until she decided to write back.
"What do you think my problem is, I absolutely hate you you're the one that always picks on me everyday, and all I want is to be left alone. You don't realize how arrogant and naive you sound do you?"
-Yuna
Yuna threw the note at him and turned around in disgust hoping that he wouldn't pass the note again. She looked out of the corner of her eye and looked at him as he opened the note and he had a surprised look on his face and he put the note back into his binder and turned around to listen to Mr. Mika. Yuna was relieved that he left her alone, maybe he'll leave her alone for the rest of the class, or even for the rest of the semester. This made Yuna a little happier, but not enough to make her smirk at her small victory because she had the feeling that he would be annoying her tomorrow.
