Chapter 1: You're invited

"Riku is SO checking her out!" A brunette exclaimed.

"Shh! He'll hear you." An auborn haired girl replied.

"Sorry, Kairi, but it's so exciting!" The brunette, Olette told her red haired friend, Kairi. "I mean, look. Namine is acting all oblivious! It's cute."

"I swear, she's just like Selphie sometimes," Kairi thought to herself. She sighed. "Olette, I'm sure Namine doesn't even know Riku's checking her out. I know her too well."

Kairi and Olette were in math class. Their teacher, Mrs. Driss, had given them a two-sided math worksheet for homework. She had finished the lesson for the day and the class had time to start their homework. Mrs. Driss allowed them to socialize as long as they were talking about math. She also let them ask each other if they needed help. Which was what Kairi and Olette's friend, Namine, was doing now. She was talking to a brunette boy named Sora about a math problem. All the while, Riku was checking Namine out.

Namine nodded when Sora finished explaining the problem to her. She thanked him and walked up to Kairi and Olette's seats.

Before Namine could say anything, Olette grabbed Namine and sat her down. "Okay, how do you do it? How do you act all cool when the cutest boy in school is checking you out?"

Namine looked surprised and confused. She glanced at Kairi. "What is Olette talking about?"

Kairi sighed and grinned at her pale friend. "You didn't notice, but Riku was checking you out."

"He was?" Namine asked. "But I don't even like him."

"I told you she didn't know." Kairi said to Olette but Olette ignored her.

"You don't like him?" Olette exclaimed. "How could you not like the cutest - and coolest - boy in school?"

Kairi raised an eyebrow. "Cutest and coolest, huh? Is that why you write 'Hayner' with hearts all over you folder?"

Namine giggled as Olette blushed and covered her folder with her arm.

"Anyway, I don't agree. I think Sora is the cutest boy in school." Kairi started.

Before Olette or Namine could reply, Mrs. Driss walked up to them. "I'm pretty sure boys are not a math problem,"

"Huh? Oh, sorry," Kairi apologized quickly.

The bell rang, signaling the end of math class and the beginning of lunch. The students gathered their supplies and headed out the door, eager to get to lunch.

-Roxas's Point of View (a/n - The rest of the story will be in Roxas's point of view)-

Kairi, Olette, and Namine were the last ones to get to the cafeteria. Olette and Kairi went to the lunch line to get school lunches and Namine walked up th a table with her bagged lunch.

I told Sora, Yuna, Tidus, Riku, and Pence that I was going to sit with the other girls today. We all were friends with Kairi, Olette, and Namine but sometimes we liked to have some separate tables. With the exception of Yuna. She was always at the boys' table near Tidus. I can tell she likes Tidus.

I got up after telling them and walked to the girl's table. I sat across from Namine.

"Hey Namine," I greeted the blonde.

"Oh, hi Roxas." She smiled. "How was science?"

"Boring," I stated, taking a bite of my sandwich.

Namine cocked her head. "I thought you liked science."

"There's a sub. And he's got the most boring voice ever." I replied.

"Oh man, I've got science next!" Namine groaned.

"Haha!" I laughed. Namine and I have been friends since fourth grade. We hang out a lot. We have different classes for math and science, but the rest of the classes we have together. Kairi and Olette, two of her other close friends, are a bit preppy, but not too preppy to be annoying. I'm quite relieved about that.

"Don't laugh. You have math next." Namine pointed out.

"Evil Mrs. Driss," I groaned.

"She's not evil. She's just mean if you don't try. So you should try harder."

I nodded. "I know, I know,"

"Hey, Roxas!"

I looked over to see Kairi walking up to the table. She slid next to Namine, with a school lunch tray. "Hi, Kairi." I looked around. "Hey, where's Olette?"

Kairi smirked. "She's flirting with Hayner."

"I am not!"

Behind Kairi stood Olette and Hayner. Olette was blushing madly. Hayner was trying to hide his face, but I could tell he was blushing as well.

Hayner took a seat next to me, while Olette sat next to Kairi.

"Hey," Kairi said, getting our attention. She rummaged through a pocket of her cargo pants. She produced five envelopes. She handed us each an envelope. "As you know, my birthday is coming up. And I'm inviting you guys to my party!" We tore open the envelopes as she spoke.

"Yay! I'm free this Saturday!" Olette said. Her birthday was this Saturday, four days from now.

"I knew there was something important this month." Hayner said, scratching his head.

"Thanks, Kairi." Namine said.

Before I could say anything, Kairi handed me the fifth envelope. "Umm, Roxas? Can you give this to Sora?"

Without a second thought, I took it and said. "Sure thing."

Kairi has a huge crush on my stepbrother, Sora. And when I say huge I mean HUGE. She draws hearts around pictures of Sora. Yeah, she's obsessed. Sora also has a crush on Kairi. Heh, funny, no? Anyway, Sora is my stepbrother. When my father got my stepmother pregnant they divorced. In that same week, my dad hooked up with another woman - my mother - and got her pregnant. Sora was born a day before me.

"Well, there will be boys and girls so we can do some fun things!" Kairi grinned at Olette and Namine. Hayner and I exchanged glances. "I have to deliver the rest of these invitations now." Kairi got up and left.

"Oh! Yeah..uh..I'll go with her." Namine gave me a look that said 'leave.'

"And I'll go give this to Sora." I said, getting up with Namine. Once we were out of earshot, I asked. "Why do you want me to leave them alone?"

Namine grinned.

"Oh." I said. Kairi wanted to leave Olette and Hayner alone. "I get it." I headed over to Sora's table, while Namine headed over to Kairi.

"How come I didn't give an invitation?" As I neared the table, I heard Sora complaining to his friends. Tidus, Riku, Yuna and Pence all received invitations.

I placed my hands on Sora's shoulders and yelled, "Hey Sora!"

He jumped. He was still breathing hard when I handed him the invitation. "Kairi wanted me to give this to you," I said, smiling.

"Roxas! Don't do that! You'll give me a heart attack!" He said, taking the envelope from me.

I smiled and then the bell rang. I jumped, startled. Time sure does go by when your having fun. I went back to my table. Hayner and Olette were gone. I smiled. I cleaned my lunch off the table and headed for my locker. Namine and Kairi were gone, so I figured they were already at their lockers.

As I walked with the crowd toward the hallway, someone pushed me into the person in front of me.

"Hey!" The brunette girl I had bumped into started. "Watch it...Roxas? Hi!"

"Hi, Selphie." I said to the romance- loving brunette.

"Oh, oh, oh!" She exclaimed. "Guess what?"

"What?" I asked, eager to hear some new gossip.

"I saw Hayner and Olette in a very deep kiss!" She squealed. "They are so cute together!"

I smirked. "See you Selphie." I said walking to my locker. I figured as soon as we left, Hayner and Olette went into an empty hallway and made out. And Selphie just happened to pass by.

"Bye!" She replied and skipped away.

I'm going to have to get Hayner for that one.

End of Chapter 1
