Chapter one, Friends and Cute Guys!
Rikku jumped on yunas bed yelling at her hapilly "wake up yunie" rikku jumped some more beofre running around yunas room exitedly.
yune stired, oh yeah she thought its the first day of school, she groaned and roolled over " why are you so exited, its school it sux!"
Rikku dint listen she was just gabbing in and on about friends and cute boys.
it was Rikkus first day at Besaid Island High School, until then she had been going to a private school in the bikanel desert (which was where she had grown up) but when Yunas parents had dies Cid, Rikkus dad and Yunas uncle, had moved to live with her and become her legal gaurdian naturally Rikku and her brother, oddly named Brother, had come too so Rikku was exited about public high school.
"comon Yunie, i wanna go meet all your friends" The young Al Bhed ran around the room a few more times before heading out the door ot get ready. standing in her room she didnt have to think about what she wanted to wear, she had it planned for weeks! It was Her reen pinstripped short shorts and her orange thick strapped tank top with a high collar, which she wore with her tall tan boots that had a green cross on them. it wasnt hard to see that her favourite coulors were green adn orange judging by her room which had orange walls with a green bed spread adn all her school things, her toothbrush, hair brush, ect. were all in these coulors. as for her hair she pulled her bright blonde hair into a high pony tail which was spiked all around her scalp, except for two strands coming from the back of her head which she braided and added orange feathers at the bottom for decoration.
giddly she ran downstaris where she found her dad, brother and Yuna sitting around the breakfast table. Yuna looked mopey (then again she wasnt exaclty a morning person) Rikku shovled down two eggs and four pieces of toast and three glasses of juice. "I don't know how you stay so skinny" yuna said looking at her blonde cousin in awe "you eat like theres no tomorrow yet you have a amazing body"
"simple" Rikku replied happilly " I have so much energy that im constanly hungery and everthing I eat get burned up so quikly it dosnt have time to turn to fat"
"not fair" Yuna muttered
Glancing at the clock Cid suddenly yelled " go now or you be late for school"
"TYSH!" Rikku cried and grabbed Yuna arm and headed to the front hall
Yuna and Rikku dashed out the door and began to run down the street, after a while they got tired and slowe down. "so tell me Yunie what are your friends like?"
"well" said yuna thinking " theres Lulu, shes my best friend, theres Wakka he-" yuna was cut off, "oooooh is he cute" Rikku suddenly had a look in her swirly emerald eyes that Yuna knew to well, she sighed she had forgotten that her cousin had a "thing" for boys, especially the cute ones. She was always flirting with them and most of them liked her, which didn't surprise her, her cousin was pretty and had a happy ubeat personality that guy just seemed to love and amanged to get her tons of friends. " Wakka is taken" she said strenly as if ot warn Rikku not to try and steal him from whom ever had claims on him "hes Lulu's boyfriend, she nice and can be energetic at times, hes the captain of the school blitzball team. Oh but be carefull hes quite the Yevonite so don't tell him of your lineage if you want him to like you, and don't tell him that im half Al Bhed, hes a close friend and I'd like to keep it that way"
Rikku nodded at this, she was used to keeping her bloodline a secret, and ussually she was good at it, unless somone insulted her people then she ussally got so angry she freaked (whih sometimes resulted in black eyes and broken noses) Yuna paused, she knew Rikku was proud of being Al Bhed and hated hidding it but when she nodded Yuna knew her cousin wouldn't say anything. "oh and theres Tidus, my boyfriend" Yuna said blushing slightly, ignoring Rikkus giggling at her blush " hes the Assistant captain of the Blitzball team. Hes nice and hes cheerfull and energetic, hes a lot like you actually," Yuna thought of her friends and smiled happily…….
" yo Spira to Yuna, Spira to Yuna" Rikku called at her waving one hand in front of her face " you were about to hit a tree and thoes people over there seem to know you"
Yuna looked to where Rikku was pointing "oh " she said "that's Lulu, Wakka and Tidus"
Yuna ran towards them, leaving Rikku behind.
Well isnt this lovley Rikku thought to herself I'm fun to talk to until her real friends get here, well I know when im not wanted! Rikku walked faster and passed by Yuna and her friends, she ignored Yunas calling and kept walking. Suddenly she felt an arm grab her shoulder " where are you going Rikku?" yuna asked looking confused
Rikku took a deep breath "muug Oihea e ghuf frah es hud fyhdat, oui upjeuimco fyhd du cbaht desa fedr oui vneahtc yht drydc veha fedr sa. emm fymg ymuha yht syga haf vneahtc frah e kad drana." (look Yunie i know when im not wanted, you obvioulsy want to spend time with you friends and thats fine with me. ill walk alone and make new friends when i get there.)
Yuna looked at her for a second then laughed, " don't be silly of course I wan t you there, I was just telling them about you" the brunette exclaimed still laughing a little " now come they want to meet you"
Rikku let Yuna walk her back to where her friends were standing " this is Lulu" Rikku looked, the girl Yuna pointed to ws nothing like she was expecting, she pictured somone more like her cousin but instead found her self looking at a girl dressed in a long black dress with a built in corset and the front completley made of belts. She had long black hair to her waist which was tied in a bun with a few braids hanging out.
" this is Wakka" Rikku now looked at one of the two boys, this one had bright Orange hair, he was wearing what appeard to be a Blitzball uniform, What Rikku found most interesting was his hair not only was it orange he had spiked the front so it stood very tall above his head.
"and lastly this is Tidus" this one Rikku really wanted to see, half expecting a shy book worm looking guy (seeing as if he was Yuna boyfriend) but instead found herself lookng at a tanned blonde with spiked hair, whom Rikku had to say, was pretty hot.
Nice catch Yunie Rikku thought
After a while of walking talking about there summers the group found themselves in front of a school. Rikku was speechless it was everything she thought it would be plus more. Annnnnnnnnnd she saw lots of good looking boys walking around. Sweet she thought this is gonna be a great year after all.
Somehow Rikku managed to survive through the morning, everyone was being really nice to her. Now it was luch, Rikku walked to her locker and got her purse (well you could call it that, its more of a series of pouches she attaches to her belt) and looked around for Yuna. Unable to find her she got nrevous I don't know where the cafetria is! She began to panic a little more what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do. She was trying to figure out what to do when somone tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around smiling expecting to see Yuna but instead found herself looking into a pair of swirly eyes much like her own. Well not exactly a PAIR of eyes she thought this boys only go one that I can see, the other is covered by a black eyepatch, still its clear to see hes Al Bhed a really cute, no HOT one at that…waddas he want? " yes…" she said slowly
" well I just noticed that you looked a little lost, you new here?"
"yeah I am" she said cheerfully " im Rikku..and you are..?"
"im Gippal"
" right…do you know where I can find the cafeteria?"
" sure come with me"
The two of them walked down the hallway together in silence for a while, after about 2 minuets Gippal looked at her and stopped talking " so have you heard about the Fall Ball?"
" uh no I havent yet" Rikku siad suddenly intersted " what is it?"
" it's a dance that happens at the begginig of the school year every year" as he said this he had sorta backed her into the wall so his left hand was resting near her ear on the wall beside her and his other hand was in his pocket, he gave her a smile. " and Id really appreciate it if you accompanied me to the dance?"
Rikku was startled but pleased, she had only been here one day and she already had a date! "of course I will, it sounds like fun!"
"great then-" Gippal had only started his sentence when he was cut off by two guys who were walking past " hey Gippal don't you ever leave them alone?" one of them called " yeah" the other said " its only the first day back and your already at it, what poor girl are buttering up this time?" the two of them laughed but when they drew closer they stopped laughing " R, Rikku" they stutered" Cred" she muttered it was Tidus and Wakka, " can u tell yunie ill be down in a minuet?" the two nooded then kept walking
" friends of yours" Gippal asked
" my cousins boy friend and his friend" she quickly repiled trying to change the subject " you were saying?"
" right, great so? Can I walk you the rest of the way to the cafeteria then?"
Rikku nodded happily . they continued to walk in silenceabout half way there Gippal genlty took her hand in his, she looked up at him and smiled. When they reached the cafeteria she saw Yuna talking with Tidus and Wakka loking a little worried, they walkd and she looked up and waved her to come over. Rikku turned to Gippal " k well got to go I told my cousin I'd sit with her at luch since its my first day and she wants to here all about it" She smiled at her " I guess I have something worth talkng about now"
" guess so" he said and with that leaned in kissed her on the cheek, he then saluted and kept walking.
Rikku grinned happily and ran over to where Yuna and her friends were sitting. But before she could say anything Yuna looked at her with a weird look in her eyes "Rikku what was Gippal saying to you?" " oh" Rikku answerd " he asked me to this Fall ball thing, he seemed really sweet so I said yes"
Yuna sighed, she had been afraid of this " well I just think you should know he is the bigest flirt in the school he goes out with girls for never more then a week then dumps them flat out an dmoves onto another one. Hes a jerk I just thought you should be warned"
" look Yunie, im a big girl I can handle myself ok?" Rikku said
Then she dropped the topic and talked about the rest of the day and how public school was so different then private school, and after a while she looked up and caught Gippals eye acros the room. He smiled at her then winked. Yuna is acting silly, she thought, he seems so sweet!
