It was just another first day at high school, a miserable day. When I say miserable day, it usually involved Namine and Sora. Like I've said before, it was completely obvious he had a mad crush on her, which made me incredibly irritated. Sora wasn't the typical 'popular' guy, like Riku, his best friend, was. Riku was the loud mouthed, girl magnet, which had his own fan club. Sora wasn't the silent, cool guy like his other best friend, Roxas. He was the smart, sensitive, soft-spoken best friend, who was always the biggest sweet heart. Sora wasn't the best looking guy in school, but he wasn't completely anti- eye candy. He had periwinkle blue eyes that seemed to light up every time he smiled his irresistibly cute grin. His face was flawlessly perfect in every way, except for his messy brown hair that always seemed to cover his gorgeous eyes. It annoyed everyone greatly how badly he needed a haircut, but I didn't care. He was perfect anyway.

There was only one problem with this guy. He didn't notice me. I mean, he knew I existed, he knows my name and every thing, but, he doesn't see me the way he sees my best friend. Namine was the best friend I could ever ask for. But she was taking away Sora. He only had eyes for her. I mean who could blame him? She was beautiful, with her sparkly cerulean blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair, she was a goddess. And I was her dorky four-eyed red headed bff. I knew I never did stand a chance, with Namine next to me, you could drastically see the contrast of our physical features. Whenever Namine was around he would completely ignore me, and act like the whole world revolved around her. I knew she didn't like him the way I did, and I knew she hadn't the slightest idea I harbored feelings for him either. She was entirely oblivious, as was he. And thus, explains the cause of my miserable day.

Namine and I walked down the hall to our lockers; she was humming her favorite song, while I was looking furiously at the piece of paper the office lady handed to me earlier. It had my locker combination on it. I couldn't read the numbers clearly, since the stupid lady smudged the ink.

"Ugh, I can't even tell what locker number I am!" I muttered, pulling the paper up to the long fluorescent school lights on the ceiling. It didn't help.

"Relax, Kairi, if you can't figure it out by today you can bunk with me, "she said putting on a smile as people greeted her. It was always like this, well, it started last year when she started getting attention. More and more guys started to notice her, and it really made me irritable. Now, don't get the wrong idea, I'm not in love with her, I just sometimes hate that fact that we're growing apart. She started to get all boy-crazy last year too, and it makes me a bit depressed that my best friend is 'growing up'. It felt like yesterday we were making cupcakes in the easy bake oven in first grade. Anyway back to the point, lately it feels like every guy in school has Namine-fever. Even Sora.

"Thanks." I said, stuffing the small paper into my jean pocket. She nudged me playfully in the stomach.

"It's a new year Kairi! Aren't you excited?" she said eagerly. I nodded, smiling uneasily. It's just like Namine to get so worked up over a new school year.

"I wonder what classes we have this year." I said curiously. We had finally reached her locker. She fidgeted with the lock before answering.

"Don't know, they'll tell us during homeroom." She replied, before opening the locker. I looked around hopefully, trying to find that certain someone. There he was walking toward us, well towards Namine. His eyes were lit up, and he was wearing a big toothy grin. He was closely accompanied by Roxas and Riku. Typical, I sighed. He was always around his two best friends, Riku and Roxas. I don't know how they all became friends because they're nothing alike. Riku was tall, muscular and the intelligent one, that was always the at the top of the class, after me of course. He was the good looking guy with long silvery hair, and those apple green eyes. Roxas was the quiet, blonde blue eyed one. I don't really know much about him, actually I don't know squat about him. It was really weird.

"Hi Namine!" Sora said nervously, scratching the back of his head. She turned and looked up at him. He had definitely gotten taller, and… cuter. I blushed looking away.

"Oh, hey Sora." She greeted him with a warm smile, making him blush. I tried not to let my expression turn sour. "Did you have a good summer?"

"Huh? Oh yeah! It was fun. We spent most of our time at Riku's house." He smiled. Roxas and Riku laughed, confirming what Sora said. "What about you? How was your summer?"

I stood there watching the two talk animatedly. My blood boiled in anger, but I did my best to keep it hidden in my expression. They didn't even seem to notice that I was standing right there. I was about to walk away when Roxas stopped me.

"Kairi, I heard you have the same homeroom teacher as me." He said. "Do you want to go together?" I glanced at Sora and Namine who stopped talking.

"Hey Kairi, I didn't see you there." Sora said then quickly turned his attention back to Namine.

"Um, fine, let's go." I told Roxas. Riku stayed behind, I guess he had the same homeroom with Namine and Sora. Roxas put his hands behind his head; I could feel his eyes on me.

"So your summer was nice I'm guessing." He muttered. Was he seriously asking me how my summer was? Roxas and I were never close. Whenever we were alone there was this awkward silence, very similar to the one right now.

"Huh, yeah, magnificent." I said sarcastically, before asking about his.

"It was fine." He said indifferently, returning to his silent exterior. It was quiet the whole way to class. I wished the whole summer for classes with Sora. Maybe that was the reason he was all over Namine, because they had so many classes together last year. I sighed, imagining what kinds of fun he and Namine were having in homeroom. Stupid, school.
