The silver haired brothers droop down onto the benches in the centre field, moping in the knowledge that their treacherous Uncle Sephiroth will be taking their lessons all year long.

Even though they may be family, Uncle Sephiroth isn't really the kind of person you want at a family reunion, thankfully, he never really showed up.

The only thing to cheer up poor Kadaj was the image of seeing their cousin: Riku's face once they told him of the new arrival to the staff.

Yazoo perks his head up at the sign of a certain Year 13, Reno. Brother to his fellow classmate Axel, Yazoo had always seemed to take a fancy to the older red haired rebel, seeing as his cheeks flush pink at the very sight of him.

Kadaj merely rolls his eyes at his brother, slapping Loz on the back to try and put a stop to his sobbing so he can concentrate on spotting their young cousin.

Fortunately for Riku, Reno antics with his classmates Rude, Tidus, Wakka and a lot of untamed basketballs, allowed them to remain undetected by Kadaj as their classes are dismissed.

As Sora and Riku walk out onto the centre field from a rather odd Electronics lesson, they take their usual seats by the fountain. Delving into his pockets, Sora pulls out some Munny which he hands to Riku, grinning innocently as he nods over at the Ice Cream stand in the Cafeteria.

"You're so lazy Sora…" Laughs Riku, rolling his eyes and nudging the cheeky brunette before sprinting over and beginning to order their Sea-Salt ice cream.

"Hey Sora, you alright?" Smiles Kairi, sitting down besides him as Namine joins them both.

"Yeah, thanks Kairi…bit weird to be back, but it's great to see everyone again," replies Sora, leaning back on the stone with his arms folded behind his head.

"Ahem…" Riku raises his eyebrows as Sora realises he's taking up the entire bench. A childish grin sprouts over the younger boys face, and then is suddenly thrown away as Riku offers Kairi and Namine the ice creams intended for the two of them.

"Ladies, here you go," Smirks Riku, handing them the sea blue ice creams and almost pushing Sora off the bench to sit down, "So…what do we have next?"

"Uh…maths I think," Smiles Namine, licking the ice cream treat from Riku.

"Oh! We've got a new teacher for maths, right? I wonder what he'll be like…" Giggles Kairi, poking Sora who's decided to lie on the grass instead.

"Hey guys!! How've you lot been?!" Yells Selphie, another Year 10 student. She bounds over, her hazel hair flicking upwards off her shoulders as she shuffles down in between Kairi and Namine.

"Hey Selphie, we're good thanks, just thinking about what our new math teacher's going to be like," Kairi answers, flicking her ice cream stick into the bin as she nods at Riku as a thank you, Sora glaring at him in a playful manor.

"Hmm…I reckon he'll be like 100 years old!" Laughs Selphie, sticking her thumb out behind her, pointing to the not-so-proud statue of their Head teacher – Ansem.

"Just like this guy…old and boring…who else would teach maths?!"
The girls giggle as Sora leans up on his elbows, joining in.

"Well, we're all sitting at the back again like last year, right?"

"Right!" Cheers Riku and the three girls.

"Oh by the way Namine, how are things going with Roxas? Has he asked you out yet?" Selphie ponders, eager to hear Namine's answer, after she's done blushing that is.

"Well, he hasn't said anything yet…but he was smiling at me all this morning…" She grins, tucking her soft blonde hair behind her ears as the girls mimic her smile.

"You fancy Roxas?! Ew…he's my cousin!" Complains Sora, thudding his head back down on the grass.

"Well obviously the good looks don't run in the family then," Laughs Riku, nudging Sora with his foot as he's sit besides him on the luscious green turf.

"Hey!!" Yells the small brunette, as the girls giggle and sympathise for Sora.

"Don't worry; there are plenty of girls out there looking for a guy like you Sora!" Selphie reassures him, not doing such a great job of it as Sora continues to frown.

"And if girls aren't for you, there are lots of guys out there too y'know," Riku winks, laughing as Sora leaps onto him, forcing him down in the grass.

After a few minutes of play fighting between the two of them, Sora fishes out his gloves from the water fountain, and throws one at his older friend in revenge.

"Hey, play nicely now you two," Cheers Kairi, ordering them both to sit down and behave, "well…what Riku said is true; there are plenty of gay students here actually."

"There are?" Wonders Sora, tipping his head to the side to relieve his ears from the fountain water.

"Yeah, there's my cousin Yazoo…that pink haired one that hangs around with Axel in Year 12 – "

"Marluxia, I think his name is," Namine adds, Riku just shrugging and continuing.

"I'm pretty sure our Astronomy teacher, Prof. Saix, fancied Prof. Xemnas, our R.S teacher."

"Now that's just scary!!" Laughs Selphie, sucking on a lollipop.

"And uh…well then there's Sora, of course," Laughs Riku, holding Sora back by the shoulders before another fight in the fountain breaks out.

As the girls are set off into hysterics, the school bell echoes through the grounds, signalling the end of break time and beginning of lesson 3, which in the Year 10's case, happens to be Maths.

"I reckon he's all wrinkly!"

"With a grey beard!"

"And glasses, that are so strong they magnify his eyes!" Kairi laughs, as Namine, Selphie and herself line up in North Block corridor for their maths lesson, awaiting their new teacher.

As they hear the doors open around the corner, they all peer their heads around, glancing down the pale orange hallway, seeing a figure stepping out of the teacher's lounge and head their way.

"I don't get it, why are they so obsessed with a new male teacher?" Sora questions Hayner, who happens to be standing behind him in line.

"I don't know either, all the teachers are ugly old men anyway…" Hayner shrugs, leaning against the wall and flicking the corridor light switch for entertainment.

Riku smirks hearing Sora's comments, glancing over his shoulder at his short friend.

"Sora…you're not jealous, are you?" Raises an eyebrow in suspicion as Sora laughs, shaking his head, but with a hint a red dancing on his cheeks.

"Jealous?" He folds his arms behind his head, grinning at the silver haired teen, "Why would I be jealous?"

"Cause you fancy Kairi," Adds Roxas, in a hushed voice so the girls wouldn't overhear.

"What? No I don't…Riku does," Mutters Sora, his cheeks slowly flushing a deeper shade of red.

"No I don't, she's my friend!" Riku turns around, facing the proper way in the line as Sora glances back over to Roxas, stood to the side.

"She's alright I guess…" The sandy haired boy raises an eyebrow, smiling at his cousin, as Sora rolls his eyes and shrugs, "She's nice…she is…but I'm not turning into my brother."

"What's wrong with Cloud?" Questions Roxas, shuffling back into the line as their new maths teacher is heard walking up the corridor.

"He fancies that girl Aerith, who's Zack's girlfriend…and Zack's his best friend so he's got to be all nice and everything but he's really jealous sometimes…and then there's Tifa who likes him as well…"

"…Who are these people?"

Sora laughs and shakes his head at Roxas.

"Never mind…hey, here he comes…"

Selphie, Kairi and Namine continue to giggle until their eyes fall upon their new Maths Professor. Stepping into the classroom and holding the door open for them, the young man smiles slightly, his lips curving perfectly as he flicks his shady, blue hair out of his eyes.

"Step inside, please," His voice not so deep, but spoken clearly, proving he has rather a high level of intellect and sophistication for such a young man.

The pupils shuffle inside, the girls all hushed and immediately snatch the seats on the front row, Sora shrugging and leaning over to Riku.

"So much for always sitting at the back…" Sora slumps down on the back row, between Riku and Roxas.

Kairi, Namine, Selphie along with Olette, take their places at the front, smiling at their new Professor welcomingly.

Roxas nudges Hayner and laughs slightly at the frown on his face.

"You sad Olette dumped you for Prof. Hunky?"

"She didn't dump me…she just chose to sit at the front, 'tis all," Growls Hayner, folding his arms and glaring at Roxas as he laughs at his comments.

"Excuse me class, my name is Professor Ienzo, I'm your new Maths teacher."

"Well no…" Mutters Hayner, already crafting a paper airplane out of boredom.

The girls swoon to themselves as they watch him hand out their new Maths text books, unable to unglue their eyes from him. Standing before them and beginning to talk, they stare without a word of his entering their minds as they're cramped with his lovely image already.

Sora rolls his eyes at the sight of all the girls in the class hanging onto Prof. Ienzo's every word. His glinting blue eyes bounce off their heads and suddenly land on Riku who, to Sora's surprise, seems to have the same amount of attention placed upon the teacher as the rest of the girls do.

"…Riku?" Inquires Sora, nudging his friend who suddenly shakes his head and blinks at the brunette, an innocent smile playing around his lips.

"Uh…yeah?" Grins Riku, sliding the hair from his eyes casually.

"…Why were you staring at the Professor?"

"Staring? Ahahahahahaha…why would I be staring?" Sora merely blinks at Riku's reply. Roxas leans forward, glancing at Sora.

"I reckon they only hired him because they'd get more pupils to pay attention…" Nodding at Roxas' comment, Sora sighs and slumps back in his seat.

"Well, the world could always do with more sexy maths teachers…"

Sora, Roxas, Hayner, Pence and practically the rest of the class, besides the swooning girls, turn and stare at Riku, who merely shrugs.

"…What?"
