Just to make one thing clear, I'm not sure if the current title will be changed or not. Right now, its the temporary title, but I'm trying to think of a new one. I think I have a good one, but I want the story to progress more before I change it. I hope no one thinks I'm copying or anything. This is just inspired by OTH S3E16. It's not copied to every detail.

Bumpin to The Weeknd hashtaginlooooovvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Okay, now read!

...

Namine stood by her locker, slowly putting textbooks in and taking some out even slower. Today was Monday and she had woke up feeling irritated and cranky. It didn't help that all the hopeless freshman kept bumping into her. She was pretty sure she scared half of them to death with the glares she gave them.

Namine wasn't a Monday person.

"Note to freshman," Namine muttered under her breath, "Don't piss me off on Mondays."

Namine was just thankful for the last bell, signaling that the day was over and she could finally go home. Except that she couldn't because she had to wait for Kairi and Xion because of the damn cheerleading tryouts. Why did she agree to wait for them again?

"We'll buy you ice cream!"

She nodded thoughtfully, that was why. She didn't even have Vanitas to keep her company. He had just laughed at her and said sucks to be you.

'Why is he my best friend?' Namine thought to herself.

"Namine!"

Namine jolted alert, wondering who snapped her out of her thoughts. She saw a boy with a set of brown spikes walking towards her. This was Sora, one of the members on the basketball team, and the cousin of Roxas. She recognized his hair because of the way Kairi talks about him all the time. She had never talked to Sora before, but Kairi and Xion say he's a sweetheart.

But more importantly, why was he looking for her?

"Hey Namine." Sora greeted her. She smiled sweetly at him, "Hey. Sora right? How do you know my name?" This was a legitimate question. Namine thought she was invisible to them. Kairi had told her people liked Namine, but she thought that was all made up to make her feel better.

"Because you're Kairi's best friend. Her and Xion always talk about you." Suddenly it clicked. Namine never hung out with the popular kids, yet they all knew her name.

Namine giggled, "I hope its all good things?"

Sora chuckled and nodded, "Mostly good. Sometimes you just annoy her." Namine rolled her eyes. She would definitely remember to hit Kairi for that.

Sora cleared his throat, "Anyway, Kairi asked me to give this to you." He held out a bag for Namine to take. She took out the contents and gasped when she saw a cheerleader uniform. She just wanted to toss it in the garbage. Kairi had ordered this before Namine had even agreed to be a cheerleader! Then Namine remembered Sora was still here and looked at him nervously.

He nodded, "Don't worry, I already know everything. How you didn't try out. Don't worry about it, your secret is safe with me. Come with me, I'll wait with you until tryouts are done."

They both began to walk into the parking lot. Sora looked at Namine, "So why were you waiting until senior year to do this?"

Namine sighed, "I don't know. I mean, I think a part of me always wanted to, but I was always to shy. Unlike me, Kairi and Xion opened up to people once we started high school. I didn't, so I decided to stick with the shy and quiet people. I didn't drift from my girls, but I wasn't a part of their group of friends.

"And I guess I finally realized what a mistake that was. I was basically a shadow during high school, unlike you or Kairi or any other popular kid, I wasn't known. I'm not asking for popularity, but I want to leave a mark on this school. I want to be remembered ." Namine wondered why she was opening up to Sora, a complete stranger.

"Thanks for telling me all of this Namine. I know its personal. But just to let you know, everyone knew you. They may not have talked to you, but they knew you. It was just that with Vanitas around you all the time, you were kind of hard to approach."

Namine stared at Sora in shock. What did Vanitas have to do with any of this?

"Nobody likes him Namine. He was rude to everyone who tried to talk to him, and he always looked so mean and creepy. Even when you were trying to be nice to him, he would continue to push you around. Now he won't even leave you alone."

Namine gripped her cheerleading uniform tighter. Why was Sora saying this to her? This was her best friend he was talking about. "Sora, you know Vanitas is my best friend."

He looked at her with, surprisingly, pity. Namine shuffled nervously, wondering why he was looking at her with such an intense gaze. It bothered her to no end.

"The guy's insane."

That was the last straw. Namine shot up and pushed Sora, "How dare you! You don't even know the truth! All you know is what you heard from a bunch of rumors! How dare you call someone insane without knowing all of the facts!" Namine, nearly in tears, stuffed her uniform in her bag, not bothering to wait for Kairi and Xion anymore.

Nobody knew the truth. All people heard was that Vanitas was insane but that wasn't even the half of it. Vanitas had Bipolar disorder and sometimes had really bad mood swings. Even when they were alone, he would say some dark things, like how he just wanted to kill everyone in the school.

It was beginning to affect him at a really early age and the fact that he barely took his medicine never helped. Namine wasn't afraid of him though, she knew he would never hurt her. But every day, she notices a little change in Vanitas. He looks meaner, acts more cruel, and says darker things than from before. That was what scared Namine.

She was afraid of what he would do once he reaches the ultimate low.

Namine decided to call him and check up. "Hey." He greeted her when he answered his phone.

"Did you take your medicine?"

"Of course-"

"Vanitas." Namine said warningly. Vanitas sighed, he knew he could never hide anything from Namine.

"Okay, I'll take it when you hang up okay? But anyway, I'm glad you called, I wanted to apologize." Namine was shocked, Vanitas never apologized, "I should support you in what you want to do. I don't want you to be unhappy."

Vanitas sighed, it was more than that. He wanted to see Namine happy. He knew from the beginning that he was a big burden to her. She always had to check up on him to make sure he was okay. He was constantly going through mood swings and took all of his anger out on Namine because he had no one else to take it out on, which was stupid because if he lost Namine, he would have no one else.

Vanitas knew he was always the one holding her back from what she wanted to do, but not this time. He always put her down and convinced her not to do what she wanted because he was afraid he would lose her. It was completely selfish, but Vanitas couldn't help it. He would never admit this, but he was scared of losing Namine. But he decided no more, if Namine wanted to be a cheerleader, then he was going to support her one hundred percent.

"One of us needs to be happy." He muttered.

Namine smiled, "You make me happy."

Vanitas smiled at his phone. "You make me happy too." Much more happier. Namine made him feel alive. Like he wasn't emotionally breaking day by day. Of course he wouldn't tell her that. He couldn't give her his fragile and breaking heart.

Vanitas was in love with Namine.

Too bad she would never know.

Vanitas groaned, running a hand through his black spikes, "Nams, I'm going to go. Talk to you later."

It was so hard for him to keep his feelings in check. He couldn't tell her. He didn't want to have her, only to lose her in the end. He couldn't do that to his beloved Namine.

Everyday it got harder, and everyday his heart broke even more.

...

Namine heard her doorbell ring and hour after she had gotten home and saw Kairi and Sora at her doorstep. Sora gave her an apologetic stare, and Namine nodded, secretly forgiving him so they didn't have to say it out loud in front of Kairi.

Kairi gave her a piece of paper, "These are the people who made the tryouts." Namine smirked when she saw her own name at the top of the list.

Cheerleading Squad 2013-14 : 10 girls

Captain: Kairi

Co- Captain: Xion

My girls;)

- Namine

- Selphie

- Aqua

- Olette

- Fuu

- Tifa

- Yuffie

- Larxene

Namine narrowed her eyes at one particular name. "Olette! You picked Olette!? Why? How will I get Roxas to notice me if his ex girlfriend is hanging all over him?" She shrieked.

Kairi looked completely guilty, "I know! I don't want her there just as much as you don't! But I had no choice! I needed ten girls and Jasmine and Belle couldn't tryout this year because they want to focus on their junior year! Olette was the only girl left who didn't suck!"

Namine sighed, she knew it wasn't Kairi's choice. She had to make sacrifices for her squad and Namine would just have to deal with it.

"You know," Sora spoke up, "Roxas is completely over Olette so I don't think you have to worry."

Namine gave Sora a small smile, "But still, Olette isn't over him. She wants him back and is going to do everything in her power to make sure no one else gets even remotely close to him."

Kairi looked around before laying her eyes on Sora. Sora was Roxas's cousin after all. "Sora you know I love you right?" Kairi asked slyly.

Sora looked at her, completely horrified, "Oh God, what do you want?"

...

Namine looked in her full length mirror, eyeing every detail carefully. She had been having a staring contest with the uniform for a good hour after Sora and Kairi left. Then, out of sudden boldness, she decided to try it on. It fit perfectly, hugging every curve. Even she would admit that she looked stunning in it.

She heard her door open and saw Vanitas walk in. He came and went whenever he please and it bothered her to no end. He stopped in her doorway, his eyes widened in surprise, staring her down. "Is that... yours?"

Namine looked at him and shuffled around nervously, "Is it bad? Do I look stupid? Oh my God, what am-"

"You look beautiful." Vanitas breathed out, He mentally slapped himself when he saw Namine blush. He couldn't let her realize his true feelings. It would only hurt her both.

"I mean, you're alright I guess." He shrugged. Namine beamed at him. She was his best friend after all, she knew when he was lying.

"Oh shut up, you just said I was beautiful. Man, I should have recorded that. Who knows if I'll ever hear it again." Vanitas rolled his eyes at her comment.

They laid down on her bed in silence. Vanitas liked this silence. It wasn't awkward, it was very comfortable. He liked the silence. He didn't like noise, if he had to choose between a party and just watching television at home, he would most likely pick chilling at home. That was who he was, he never associated much with people. He would talk to those like him, those who liked quiet, but he would never get close to them.

Until he met Namine.

They shared an art class, and he was forced to sit next to her. He had hated her at first because of how she constantly talked to him. All he wanted was to be left alone, but she never cared. But there was something about her he loved. She actually made the effort to consistently talk to him, instead of ignoring him like anyone else would.

When Vanitas had finally begun to talk back, he realized how well they had connected. They had only grown closer and he found himself falling for her. But he knew that she had a hopeless crush on Roxas, basketball star and the most popular guy in the school.

Namine was also the first to find out about his disorder. He trusted her, he let her in. Vanitas still thought about that, his plan was to be alone so he didn't have to burden anyone else with his problems. But he was drawn to her. Now that she's such a big part of his life, he couldn't bring himself to think of losing her.

That's why this whole cheerleading things scared him so much.

"Is it strange that I'm looking forward to this?" Namine gave him a hopeful smile. Vanitas hid his sad smile and beamed at \her, "You're definitely going to be the sexiest girl on that squad.

Namine grinned at him and gave him the biggest hug, "You'll always be my best friend Vanitas. I can't imagine you not being in my life. I told you before but I'll say it again. I won't let us drift."

Vanitas stroked her hair gently. He loved being this close to her, it made his heart race. He hoped she couldn't hear it.

"I know we won't." He reassured her.

'I sure hope so.'

If only she knew.

...

I knoowwww not much happened in this chapter. This chapter was mainly focused on Vanitas so you know more about him. This disorder plays SUCH a huge part in the story and I wanted to describe him more. I want you all to see how the characters, especially Vanitas, changes throughout the story, so I wanted to use this chapter to give everyone a better feel on who he is. This way, you'll be able to see the changes that go on within him as the story progresses :)

I'm seriously loving this story right now and I can't wait to start on chapter 3!

Review please :D Okay bye!
