Chapter two –

I sat down in my assigned seat in my first hour class, which was trigonometry. Not really my forte. I tapped my pencil on my desk impatiently, smiling stupidly at myself. I still couldn't believe I had done that! Go Namine! I giggled quietly to myself.

"Someone seems happy today." I heard a familiar voice ring.

I looked up and grinned, "Why hello Sora! How are you this fine, amazingly amazing day?" I giggled.

Sora seemed taken back, "whoa, you are way happy. What's up?" He sat next to me.

Sora has been one of my best friends for as long as I could remember. Kairi had developed a huge crush on him ever since me and him started to hang out. She was often pretty jealous of me, because Sora always talked to me so much. But she knew that it wasn't going to become anything more than friends. Sora was like a brother to me, I could never really be romantic with him.

"Nothing." I quickly lied, not really knowing why I was lying.

Sora rose an eyebrow, but I just cheesily smiled back.

"Settle down class, settle down." Mr. William's voice rang loudly throughout the air.

Students began to take their seats, including—him—

Roxas.

Roxas's history with me goes pretty far back. Being Sora's cousin, sora had introduced me to Roxas when we were about in the sixth grade. At first I was really shy around him, wanting to spend more time with Sora, because he was just more comfortable to talk to. Although, after a while, I started opening up to Roxas. Talking to him more and more. He started to become my best friend, we did everything together. He picked me up whenever I fell, and he was my protector whenever I was scared. He was my world—but he only saw me as a friend, and I saw him as so much more.

My mind suddenly flashed back to a few days ago…

"Namine!"

"Oh, hey Roxas!"

"Have you seen the new girl yet?"

"No I haven't yet."

"Oh, well, she's beautiful! And so nice!"

"Oh… that's good…"

"I know, right?! I swear on my life Namine, she'll be mine someday. I promise you that much."

"…"

"Namine? Are you alright? You look a little sick…"

"N-no, I mean, y-yes i-im fine. Sorry I got to go to class now, d-don't want to be late, y-you know?"

"Uh, yeah. Ok."

My mind wound back to the present. Yeah, a friend. That's all he'll ever see me as.

"So, here's your assignment for the weekend, you can start now if you like." Mr. Williams finished off with his lesson.

Crap! I hadn't listened to a word of it! I fumbled around in my bag, looking for my math book. Hoping that I could just read the lesson and get most of it. I stopped, my math book wasn't in my bag! I searched again, frantic.

Sora looked over at me, confused. "Namine. You can just go borrow a book from up there." He pointed to the front of the room, " just put it back after you're done." He assured me.

"Um… 'kay." I slid out of my seat and headed towards the front of the room. I grabbed the book on top of the pile, turned around, and headed towards my seat. Someone must have left a pencil on the floor, because I felt my foot slip under me for the second time that day. I quickly caught myself on two desks on either side of me.

Everybody's head's turned to look at me. "Heh …heh… oops." I then sat in my seat, feeling my face heat up.

I then turned towards Sora, "hey… um… Sora?" I whispered.

He didn't even look up from his paper, "you didn't listen, did you?" He plainly stated as he scribbled something on his paper.

I bit my lip.

He smiled, "lunch, come to the commons, I'll help you." He quietly chuckled.

"Thank you!" I whispered.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Lunch came faster than I expected it to. I put my things in my locker, grabbing my notebook and my math book before shutting it. I walked around the corner while opening my notebook to the right page, and collided with someone. "oof!"

I looked up.

"Oh, hey Namine! Sorry about that!" Roxas bent down to help me pick up my things. He held out his hand, I took it as he lifted me to my feet.

"Hi Roxas, and you're fine. I probably would have slipped anyway." I smiled.

He smiled back, "So where are you headed right now?" He asked me.

"U-um" I stuttered, "I'm headed to the commons actually. Sora's going to help me with my math homework. I sort of spaced out during first hour today." I admitted.

Roxas laughed, "well that makes two of us, is it ok if I join you? I probably need the help more than you do!"

I giggled, "I highly doubt that, but yes you can come along." I smiled.

"Here." Roxas grabbed my things out of my hands, he then started walking, I followed. "I haven't talked to you in awhile, what's been happening? Wait! Is it true that you poured a slushy on Erika's head?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.

My face turned red, "Oh, um, yeah." I half laughed, "I was kind of getting sick of her."

"I couldn't blame you." Roxas answered.

We walked in silence for a good ten seconds before I decided to speak up, "so what about you? What's been happening?" I asked casually.

"Actually, do you remember that new girl from last year? The one I told you about?" He asked.

Oh no. "Yes…" I answered, my spirits dropping like rocks in a pond.

"Can you help me ask her out?" He asked hopefully.

I wanted to die. I wanted to die right there and then. I wanted to crawl right back into my corner and stay there until the world came to an end. But that was the old Namine. I reminded myself, this is the new Namine and I have to be brave and just let chips fall where they may.

I took a deep breathe, "Yes. Yes I will." I had a feeling I would regret those four words.

"Thank you namine! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Roxas smiled, his eye's lighting up.

You know what? Maybe it was worth it. Just to see his eyes light up when he smiles like that.

We made it to the commons, to find Sora nowhere in sight. I groaned, "He probably has a good reason." I said more to myself than anybody else.

"Or he just forgot." Roxas went straight to the point.

I shrugged.

"Oh look! There she is!" Roxas nudged me.

I looked up. There she was. Her long strawberry blonde hair swaying in the wind. Her green eyes sparkled in the light. She had he perfect figure, a body that other girls would kill for. How was I supposed to compete with that?

"What should I do?!" Roxas panicked.

I thought, what would I want Roxas to do to me? I thought for a second, "Just go say hi to her. Introduce yourself." I sighed sadly.

"Um ok." Roxas got up and started to walk towards her. She looked up as she approached him.

They were too far away I couldn't hear what they were saying. Roxas rubbed the back of his head with his hand, looking down more than looking at her. She smiled weakly, obviously faking it more than anything else. She said something back go him, and he smiled, his eyes lighting up again. She turned away from him and walked away. Roxas started making his way towards me again.

He sat next to me.

"So, what happened?" I pushed.

"Well…" Roxas paused, "I went up to her and introduced myself , and she told me her name was Destiny. Then she left."

"That's kind of ironic, destiny going to destiny school on destiny islands." I giggled.

Roxas gave me a look.

"Ok, right. Sorry." I half laughed. "Well, that's a start I guess." I shrugged. I looked back over at Roxas, he's hair swaying in the slight wind. His eyes filled with hope and excitement.

I sighed. Why can't you see me wanting you the way you want her? Roxas, you're everything to me. I let a tear slide down my cheek. He wouldn't see it anyway.

A/N: Wow… sorry… that was really depressing…. O_o It will get better I promise!! We need a little sad parts in there! Roxas loves a different girl for heaven sakes!! If you guys haven't listened to Invisible by Taylor Swift yet, you should it will help with the story. ^_^ Anyway review please, and I promise it will get happier in the next chapter!

Sora: Wow… depression.

ZipGurl: Sorry! It's not my fault!

Roxas: What are you talking about?! Of course it's your fault!

Kairi: Yeah! You're making Namine emo-ish.

ZipGurl: I'm not trying to! Roxas its your fault you like another girl!

Namine: You guys, it will get happier right ZipGurl?

ZipGurl: ^_^ Right-o!
