Okay, so I felt like updating now because I really didn't have anything else to do. Other than uploading stuff on my new DA account. Yaay I didn't think I'd ever get one.

Anyway, on with chapter 2! I own nothing, except Teirra really.

Chapter 2

Sounds Good

Teirra awoke to the ever so irritating alarm she had set on her phone every morning. The alarm was a recording of her parents yelling "Wake up!" as loud as they could, laughing. Teirra listened to it once more before sighing sadly and turning it off. She really had to change that alarm.

She stood from her small bed and changed out of her pajamas and took a shower, later drying off and changing into her outfit for the day. She put on her heart necklace and brushed her teeth and hair and went downstairs to find Lightning and Squall already awake and ready for the day.

Lightning was eating a small waffle that she had put in the newly acquired toaster and Squall was simply reading the newspaper, they both waved and said "good morning" when they saw Teirra walk in.

She put bread in the toaster and put her books in her bag for the day while she waited for her toast when Lightning looked up at her.

"How's school here going?" She asked.

Teirra thought about it for a second, she decided to leave the part about Sora out. "It's been okay I guess..it is school after all." She said plainly, the bodyguards have been following her from a distance to school, then they'd leave and do the same after school. They didn't think anything would happen while she was there, they've also been trying to get her to open up more by asking random questions to get her talking. They've gotten used to her being a hopefully temporary 'girl of few words.'

Her toast was done and she quickly ate it before tying her shoes and walking out the door. "See you later." She sounded almost like a robot when she spoke and then she left.

Squall watched the girl leave and shut the door. According to her relatives she was a very kind and cheerful girl, always bursting with energy. But after the incident with her parents, no one thought she'd be the same way again.

Hopefully someone can change that soon. He thought.

It was now history, the second class of the day and Sora and Teirra happened to have that class together as well. They had at least four classes together, plus their lunch break too.

Sora was watching the ever silent girl work on her vocabulary for the chapter in their history book with an unreadable expression. He didn't know how to talk to her after finding out about her situation, he felt bad about being all happy and carefree and not even asking if she was okay.

He didn't realize he had been staring at her for so long because before he knew it she had finished her work and the bell rang for their next class. He got up to leave, but before he walked out he turned to see Teirra looking in his direction. He scratched his head slightly and left before she could reach him.

She stared at the place where the brunette once was before sighing and walking to her next class; which was art.

"Namine...,"

"Huh? Yes?"

"Does Sora... hate me?"

Teirra sat next to Namine in their art class, occasionally she could get some words out of her but today seemed to be different from those times. Namine stared at her in confusion before smiling and answering.

"There's no way he could hate you. One, he has no reason to. And two, I don't think he's even capable of hating someone. Why do you ask?"

She paused. "Well... a few days ago he talked to me a little. But now when he sees me he runs off." Her voice was very soft for she felt kind of awkward telling this to someone she'd only known for a week or so.

Namine listened to her closely, It must be because he knows now. She thought, she'd hoped he wouldn't let this stop him from helping her but he must be confused as to what he should do.

"Hmm... I'm not sure what's up with him. Maybe he wants you to come to him this time, he wanted to hear your voice right? So talk to him and set it straight." She pretended not to know, she felt bad about lying and she felt bad enough about telling someone about somebody else's problems. Teirra seemed to believe her and nodded in understanding. "Okay... I guess I could try that."

Suddenly their teacher stood up in the front of the class, she was shorter than Teirra and had short brown hair and wore a short blue dress with brown boots.

"Ok class! This week is a group project, so get a partner. The media is conte, blending chalk, and the theme is dreams and imagination. Let's get started!" She yelled and clapped her hands, symbolizing she was finished. Students all around found their partners and Namine and Teirra decided they could be partners.

"Dreams and imagination, huh? This'll be easy! So Teirra, what comes to mind for you?" She asked, Teirra put her hand to her chin and pondered.

"A girl... in a bird cage." She said finally.

"Oh.. hm.. how about we draw the girl in the cage with a boy trying to get her out of it? It'll be fun!" Said Namine happily, being an artist herself, she knows how to show the meanings behind drawings and how to interpret other drawings herself.

"Okay. Sounds good." She said and they began their first project together.

The bell rang again and they went through all their classes except for their last, which they had together, now it was their lunch break, Sora, Roxas, Namine, Riku, Kairi, and more of their friends all sat at one large table. Namine asked Teirra if she wanted to sit with them and maybe talk to Sora, but she said she didn't want to until she got to know them all better, so she sat at the table next to theirs, the next best thing.

Despite talking with Namine sometimes, Teirra didn't seem to feel comfortable talking to the others just yet. According to Namine the reason Teirra only talks to her is because "It's an artist thing, you wouldn't understand."

Sora would occasionally catch a glance from Teirra when she would look in his direction but she'd appear to get nervous and quickly turn away, same goes for Sora vice versa.

"Hey Teirra, how does this look for this part?" Namine showed her a small sketch of the boy who was going to break the girl out of the cage, Teirra noticed something and looked at Sora and at the drawing and back to Namine and she smiled as if reading her mind.

It looked just like Sora.

"Ms. Misaki, I'm going to change your seat. You'll be sitting in the empty seat in between Sora Hikari and Namine Forgrove alright?"

Obviously the group was now in math class, their last class of the day and unbeknownst to them, their math teacher saw her with Sora's group of friends and decided to keep her close to them.

Apparently he was getting tired of Teirra's silence and he wanted it dealt with and they were the only ones who could help her. So Teirra grabbed her books and bag and nervously went to sit in between the two friends in awkward silence.

Namine just smiled at her while Sora seemed slightly panicky. Seeing this Kairi quickly but quietly and painfully nudged Sora's side with her elbow, causing him to wince and look into her glaring face and he got the message.

He calmed down and looked to Teirra, causing her to look up at him. What confused her was the fact that he was smiling, unfortunately she didn't even attempt to return the smile and they looked back at their papers.

The class went by rather quick, what with watching the amusing acts of Kairi and Riku and Roxas and Namine passing notes of love to each other and seeing their interesting reactions as they all went back and forth with each other.

Soon enough the bell rang to go home and everyone began to leave. Sora was leaving as well, that is, before someone grabbed the bottom of his shirt. He looked behind him to see Teirra was the one keeping him here, with a nervous look on her face.

"Teirra...?" He was confused, why was she doing this all of a sudden?

She looked up at him and her mouth opened and she seemed to say something inaudible, then she spoke louder.

"Uh... Sora, I-I'm sorry about yesterday... for being quiet and all," He stared at her as he listened to her soft voice, so far only Namine had heard her speak and now he was getting the privilege as well.

"But... you wanted to hear my voice, and I'm sure you know everything... I figured that was why you ran off earlier." Apparently she couldn't think of anything else to say because she let go of him and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry." He said, bowing his head. "I didn't know until a few days ago and I didn't know how to talk to you without bringing it up, I didn't want to hurt you. I'm glad I could hear your voice though, thank you."

"O-Oh, um... ok, you don't have to apologize. I..." She seemed to be getting more nervous, Sora laughed at this. "Hey, wanna be friends?" He asked and she did something she thought she'd never do again; she smiled.

"Sounds good."

Boy I have no idea what to say in these things right now.

So much for my promise of updating once a week, looks like I will when I just get bored. lol And since this story was originally made for me to get over some stuff, it'll be pretty obvious when I was in a bad or good mood at the time.

Although I might be a little busy with Anime Vegas coming up, my friends want me to make clay figures to sell and I have to make sure my Kairi cosplay isn't messed up or anything.

Soo, read and review! I guess. See ya later people!
