"Riku!" Came an over joyed voice behind us. It was Namine, Kairi's younger, quieter, and blonde twin. Only right now, she wasn't so quiet.

"And Sora too," I said kinda feeling left out. He always was the popular one, no matter what. Speaking of which, don't I hate his guts? Why am I even here? Oh yeah, Kairi.

"Yeah, Hi Sora," she said sharply, "So, were did you run off to yesterday? Everyone was worried about you."

She took a step closer to him, and I could tell that he was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Just as he was about to say something the bell rang, "Oh would you look at that. Time to go to class!" And with that he quickly grabbed my arm and dragged me inside the school.

"Uh, Riku. You know we don't have first hour together?" I said trying to get him to let go. Last thing I wanted was to be seen around him. It was bad enough that I was stuck with him yesterday and last night.

"Ah! Right, right," he said quickly letting go as quickly as he grabbed me. "See ya eighth hour then?"

"Sure, you do sit right behind me," I said trying my hardest to not sound annoyed.

"Oh Sora!" He said calling down the hall, "I believe you dropped this earlier. Sorry I didn't give it back sooner, but it escaped my mind till just now." He said handing me my special charm Kairi made for me just a few years ago, before Riku transferred.

"Ah! Thanks," I said taking it from his hands, "I wouldn't know what to do if I lost it!"

"Well see ya then see ya Fugushita."

It was finally lunch and I just couldn't stop thinking. About something that I thought when I took the charm from his hands. Finally I couldn't take it anymore I pushed my lunch away, got up and looked around for who else but Riku. All you had to do was look for a whole table full of girls and one boy with silver hair.

Finally seeing that table I got up and walked over there, while ignoring Hayner, Roxas, Axel and the others. Standing just a few feet from the table, I had no clue what I was going to do when I got there. I really didn't think this one through.

"Hey Fugushita," Riku said with a smirk on his face.

I could feel my heart racing, it was almost like it was going to jump right out of my chest. "Hey," I finally uttered.

"Here sit down," Riku said pushing his way over so I could sit next to him.

Sitting down I noticed a few glares, some still not taking notice of me, and others whispering. Trying to ignore the girls around me, I tried to listen to what Riku was saying only to have any hope of talking to him shot down by the bell for sixth hour.

"Well see ya in a little bit Fugushita. Hope what I taught you last night stuck because we have a quiz!" He said turning around to give me a smile and then leaving.

"Hey man. What was that all about? I thought you hated him just as much as any other guy in this school," Roxas said walking up with Axel and the rest behind him.

"Uh, I just wanted to," I couldn't think of anything to tell them. That's when it hit me, "I wanted to review for the quiz today in Cloud's class.

"Who?" Axel asked.

"Mr. Strife of course. I call him Cloud because he married my older sister back when I was in elementary school so I've known him for a while."

"Oh, well I guess that makes sense," Hayner said still a little confused.

Eighth hour finally rolled around and as I walked in I noticed Kairi in the far end talking to Roxas. Probably about last night, or the call this morning since they looked over at me. Trying to give Kairi my "I'm sorry, please don't be mad" look, she just turned back to her conversation with the blonde. Feeling rejected I sat in my seat not noticing the Silver haired boy behind me.

"Lookin kinda glum there, everything ok?" He said leaning over his desk like he did the other day, which made me jump a little and made him laugh. "It's ok I'm not gonna bite, well unless you want me to," Which made me blush and him laugh even harder, "I'm just kidding. So did you want to talk today at lunch or something?"

Before I could answer the bell rang and Cloud walked in the room, "Ok, so as I said all this week, we have a quiz over everything we've been doing for the past month and a half. I don't want to hear any complaints, you all should know this stuff by now."

Taking a quiz and passing it on, I knew it. Riku taught it to me last night, it was I just couldn't concentrate due to him being behind me. Half way through the hour I noticed that two thirds of the class had finished and I had barely gotten past the seventh question. Finally I kicked it into gear and finished the quiz in nine minutes. With everyone having finished the quiz Cloud passed out a worksheet and told us to get with a partner and finish it together, and who else would be my partner but Riku.

"So, you were about to say something right before class started?"

"Oh, uh. It's nothing, it can wait till after class," I said turning my chair around.

"If you say so. Well so how do you think you did? Did my teaching pay off?"

"Yeah, I think I did alright."

With that we went on and finished the worksheet just as the bell rang. Writing our names we handed them in and walked to the front door together. "Hey Riku?"

"Yeah?"

"What I wanted to tell you earlier was," I couldn't hold it in any longer, yet I couldn't get it out. Thankfully no one really used the front door, everyone walked out back because that's where the students parked. Only Riku, Kairi, and I walked out the front 'cause we walked home.

"What?" He said slightly confused. "If it's about the glares, I'll talk with them on Monday."

"Uh, no. Not really, but I wanted to tell you that I-I love you."
