A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews! XD I feel inspired :D If you can tell, I'm in a VERY good mood. XD I can't wait to start writing about school starting. I'm happy I'm getting to try something new. And… I'm soon FINALLY going to get Roxas wrapped up in the drama too. So.. Here we go!
Naminecrys4riku… Thanks so much! I'm thrilled to hear you liked the sneak peak! XD I've been writing scenes with Roxas and the girl all over the place. They're all going to be sitting around doing nothing till I get to that point in the story though. –sigh- My friends are reading them as I go to make sure they're perfect. Lots and lots of fluff!
Chefbekah1304… hehheh, for thanksgiving, I ate and well… Wrote stuff. Yeah, he was modeled after Dymix, because he's my favorite organization 13 member. BTW: I was thinking about writing a bunch of one shots all in one story about what Organization 13 does during their free time. XD It's supposed to be funny. Lend me your thoughts. XD I'm glad that you liked the way Sora acted in that chapter. I did too. Have a great week!
Oath Of Oblivion 0… OOOOOOOHHH… That's where you went. :D Well, I'm glad you're back. Sorry about getting grounded. L I was grounded for a while JUST before I started Another Story 2. It sucks, huh? Anywho, I'd like to thank you for visiting my site a while ago! It made me happy! Have a great week!
Sayshello3… Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Your reviews ALWAYS make me sequel with joy! Thanks for saying I'm a good author. XD I feel so… so happy! And no problem about the top reviewer thing, you deserved it!
Volume-5… Yay! Thanks for the comment. Like, several other people said it was a fun chapter too! Thanks a bunch! Yeah, it was kinda a long chapter, I couldn't remember half of it ether. –falls over- it took ALL WEEL to write that. 4,500 something words or something like that. It's okay about you not reviewing earlier, I don't blame you. The e-mailing system is being retarded again. Well, have a great week!
Kenshinroks2111… Heh, thanks for the effort you made to review every chapter you missed! –even if it was all the same thing. –laughs- nice grades! My best subject is math, and gym if that counts. Have a great week!
Hotaru89… Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it!
mOOnlite-dUSk… Yeah, I prefer RoxasxNamine too, buuuuuuutttt… I wanted to try something new and TOTALLY out of the blue for this story when I started, and Riku and Namine just popped up in my head. And, I like writing about them so much because since it's my story, I can make them as OOC as I want. XD It's wonderful to write about them as if they actually acted like this. But, Roxas and Namine are still my favorite (well, sora and Kairi are my top favorite, but Roxas and Namine are 2nd). Oh, and the mystery girl isn't Namine, I couldn't take her away from Riku. It's somebody else. But you can keep guessing if you like- I don't mind. I'm glad you liked the chapter!
Katchi… Yeah, the chapter WAS rather long. But I really wanted to end lass Vegas on chapter 9 so I went all-out. And I wasn't planning on actually doing the limo crash, but I just added it, just cuz. I'm glad you liked the chapter and the fluff!
p.s. WHOO! I'm on chapter 10! And 80+ reviews too! Thanks a bunch everyone!
CHAPTER 10!
The rest of the day went pretty much normal, besides everyone's rush to get everything finished before school started the very next day. Kairi was given crutches, so she could move around with her leg being like this, and was driven home by her parents, who assured her friends Kairi would be at school the next day.
School… Oh, that word sounded horrible. And sure enough, with all the things about to happen this next year, it was going to be another loooooooooooooong 12 months.
And they didn't even know what was coming.
"Namine!" Namine's dad danced into her room and switched on the light, singing as he went, "The first day of school is here!"
"hm…" Namine mumbled through the blanket as she covered her head to shield the light.
"Come on now," Her dad huffed, shaking his daughter back and fourth, "It's your first day in the eleventh grade!"
"I don't care," Namine turned over in the bed, facing away from him, "Schools just school anyways."
"Get UP!" Her father commanded.
"Alright, fine." Namine sat up and rubbed her eyes, and then pushed her father out of the way as she got up, "Just leave my room, okay?"
"Deal." Her father smiled, nodded, and then left the room, shutting the door behind him.
"And don't come back!" Namine called out for him. She could hear him laughing as he walked down the stairs.
Namine then brushed her hair and teeth, got dressed, got her things for school together, the usual stuff people do when getting ready to go to school.
Oh, but much to her dismay, she couldn't just wear her own clothes, there was school uniforms.
She had to show up at school in a white dress shirt, a platinum tie and skirt, knee high blue socks, and dress shoes. Great…
At her old school they'd let her wear whatever she felt like wearing. But since they now lived in destiny islands, well, there were some new rules. But, she was happy she only had 6 class periods now, instead of 7. That had to count for something. And, another thing was she had friends this year. That counted for a lot.
Soon after her dad had left the room, she was ready to leave and headed downstairs to eat something before she left. She said goodbye to her dad, grabbed a piece of toast, and left the house a half an hour before the bell would ring for school.
She stopped By Kairi's house and the two walked to school together. Well, Kairi used her crutches to help her walk but other then that everything way pretty much normal.
Soon they reached a large building, with a parking lot to the side and a HUGE field behind the building. The building was big itself, and about 2 stories tall. In front of the school was a large fountain and lots of grass with pathways leading to the doors of the school.
"Wow." Namine admired as the two stopped right in front of the school. She'd seen it before, but… never really took the time to admire it.
Kairi made her way in front of her and smiled widely, "Welcome to Destiny High!"
000
The two girls had just entered the building and walked into the large, main area of the school. In front of them was a large, double stair case and to the left was the office. On the far right was another stair case identical to the first one and a few classes next to it. There were hallways going everywhere and next to the second stair case was a large student area with couches and tables everywhere for lounging or doing homework. Next to the large area was another rather big hallway leading to the lunch room which was HUGE and had tables already arranged everywhere. There was two large counters on both sides of the lunch room (where the food was supposed to go) and the floor was tiled. Other then the bathrooms and the lunch room floor, the rest of the school was carpeted.
"This place is nice!" Namine stared in awe, looking from side to side at passing by students and the details of the school.
"There are also some other student lounge rooms much smaller than this one down that hallway," Kairi pointed to a hallway next to the second stair case, "Just in case someone wanted piece and quiet from the crowds of people."
"Oh." Namine nodded, and then looked around some more, reaching the center of the large student area and staring down several hallways that were connected to the main area.
"So…" Namine looked at kairi, "Where would the lockers be?"
"Locker numbers 1-120 are over there by the office," She pointed behind them, "And the rest are upstairs. Too many of them to count."
"And where are all of the classes?" Namine asked, giving Kairi her schedule for the day, with her lunch number on it, her locker number, and all of her classes in order.
"Well," Kairi started," There are some classes down here in that wall over there next to the stair case, and then all of the main classes are upstairs. That's all the higher floor is really used for, besides the lockers and the few activity rooms. Most of the other activities are down on the main floor. The one we're on."
"Do we have any classes together?" Namine asked.
Kairi pulled out her own schedule and compared them, "We've got first period English together, the same lunch, and fifth period Math together."
"That's it?" Namine asked, looking a bit disappointed.
"Yeah… But you've got almost every class with Riku." Kairi informed.
"How would you know that?" Namine cocked an eyebrow.
"I checked on the school website last night." Kairi told.
"Oh." Namine thought for a moment.
"Anyways," Kairi shook her head and gave Namine back her schedule and put hers away, "I've got to go to the office till the bell rings. My mom called them last night and told them I broke my leg, so I have to stay there and listen to them talk. They're supposed to tell me how to get to my classes."
"Alright, I'll wait here for the others." Namine told, and then waved at Kairi as she left.
"Tell Sora I said I'll see him in second period, Okay?" Kairi asked.
"Okay." Namine nodded and then watched as Kairi smiled and left. When she was out of sight, Namine sat down on a free couch and waited. Soon, there was only 5 minutes left before the bell was going to ring and still no sign of her boyfriend or her other friends.
She sighed and got up again, figuring she'd just go take a first look at her class rooms before school officially started, but was stopped by a voice behind her.
"Namine!" The voice rang.
"Riku?" She turned around to face her boyfriend, and he smiled.
"It took forever to find you!" He breathed, "With everyone dressed the same It was almost impossible!"
"You were already here?" Namine questioned.
"Yeah, I was in the smaller student lounges with Sora and the other guys. Olette and Selphie are hanging out with Yuffie and Leon upstairs by the lockers and only god knows where Kairi is."
"She's in the office." Kairi pointed to the far end of the room at a girl with red hair being dragged around by the principal.
Riku slapped his forehead, "Of course, that's where she'd be."
"Kairi told me that we had almost every class together." Namine smiled widely at him.
"We actually have every class together. Not almost." Riku laughed.
"Wow." Namine thought for a moment. It may have been just her, but it seemed like Her and Riku were almost always together now. At camp, she had the same dorm room as him, she also moved next to him, and now they have all the same classes. There was only one word she could use to describe off all this: weird.
"Are… you okay?" Riku leaned over so he'd be looking up at her face. She only stared off into space blankly.
"You-who! Namine." He waved a hand in front of her face slowly, cocking an eye brow in the process when she still didn't respond.
"We need you back on Earth, Namine." Riku shook her shoulders a little bit, getting her to snap out of the trance and look at him.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Never mind." Riku ignored it and pointed towards the second stair case in front of them, "Class starts in 2 minutes. Do you want me to show you where are first class is?" He questioned.
Namine nodded, "Yeah…" She sighed deeply, "I'd get lost if I tried to figure this place out by myself."
"Don't worry," He assured, "So long as you're with me you'll be fine."
"I know I will." She smiled sweetly at him.
"Uh…" He looked away and smiled to himself, "Anyways… Well, I'll show you your locker first, okay?"
"Okay." Namine agreed.
Riku then grabbed her hand and the two walked casually up the stars, hand-in-hand. Namine enjoyed holding hands with him, but… She couldn't help all of the girls she walked by giving her death glares and whispering to one another.
So, she leaned over closer to Riku as they reached the top of the stairs and down a hall filled with lockers and students practicing combinations, "Riku?" She whispered, getting his attention and he turned his head towards her.
"Hm?" He inquired.
"Do I have something on my face?" She asked, pointing to at her face, a worried expression on her features.
He laughed at her, "No." He whispered back.
"Then…" She pointed at the girls around them, still glaring and hissing, "Why do they look angry at me?"
Riku laughed out load, "Because you're prettier then they are?"
"True." Namine agreed with him, "But I doubt that's why."
He shrugged, "Well, if that's not it then I dunno."
"Oh…" Namine looked around the area again at more scowling girls, "Are you sure you don't know?"
"Why don't you ask them what's wrong?" He looked back down at her again.
"I wouldn't feel safe," Namine squeezed his hand, "They look like the want to shoot me."
"Then ask Kairi later," Riku suggested, all though he really knew the answer, just didn't plan on telling her, "She knows everyone."
Namine frowned, "Are they going to look at me like this all day?"
"They did the same thing when I was dating Kim." Riku gave her a hint, but she looked even more confused then ever.
"I still don't get it." Namine shook her head at him, "Did they have something against her too?"
Riku laughed even harder, "Just ask Kairi and the other girls at lunch, okay?"
"Fine." Namine whined, and then they finally reached locker number 893.
Riku let go of her hand and showed her how to open her locker, since she'd never used one before. Her other schools weren't exactly as fancy as this one. Or, well organized. It was a mad house at her old school.
"Got it?" He asked her when her locker finally opened after her fifth try.
"I think." Namine crammed the stuff she didn't need till the end of the day in her locker, and then closed it, "I think I'd rather just bring my back pack from class to class like where I used to live."
"That'd get annoying," Riku started, looking sick and rubbing his shoulders, as if they felt the pain of carrying his back pack around all day, "For me at least."
"So… Where's our first class?" Namine changed the subject, seeing as the bell would ring any second now."
"That way!" Riku pointed down the hall way and walked her to class #75: Mss. Brosmore's English class.
Riku walked her into the crowded class room where students were still hanging out 5 to a desk, talking and talking and talking. A bunch of preps were sitting on the window ledge in the back of the room comparing new cloths while the nerds were all the way in the front of the class room. The Emo/Goth looking teens hid in the back of the room and everyone else just kinda did different things.
"You must be Namine." A feminine voice sang out, "Didn't you just move here?"
"Uh…" Kairi watched her new English Teacher approach her, "Yeah. I did."
"Nice to meet you." Miss. Brosmore held out a hand for her, resulting in Namine having to let go of Riku's hand, since her other hand had her books, and shake her teachers hand.
"Sit where ever you like." The teacher smiled sweetly, and then turned to Riku and frowned, "I see you've met the trouble maker."
"Trouble maker?" Namine smiled widely, covering her mouth and trying not to laugh, "What did he do?"
"Oh…" The teacher tapped a ruler against her hand, "A lot of things."
Riku scowled at her and took Namine by the hand, leading her closer to the back of the class room, "Well, I don't like you much ether."
The teacher looked very offended, "I'm sure we'll have fun this year, Riku." She watched him sit two rows up from the back and next to Namine, "I've got a lot of things planned for you."
"Don't think that I don't too. Because I don't mind making your life a living hell this year too." He smirked, resting his elbow on the table and holding his head up to look at her, seeming as though he were very bored.
The teacher frowned, and then sat down at her own desk in front of the room as the bell rang and everyone scattered to their desks.
"Does she have some kind on grudge against you?" Namine nudged his shoulder, questioning as though it was something she had to know.
"Uh…" Riku scratched the back of his head, "It's complicated."
"What did you do to make her so angry?" Namine asked a second question.
"I don't really remember," Riku told, "I just remember it being fun."
"You like ticking your teachers off?" Namine cocked an eyebrow.
"If the bitch wants to play, let her play." Riku laughed softly.
"I sure hope your not failing because of it." Namine picked up her pencil and tapped the desk with it.
"Nah. Olette makes sure we all have our homework done." Riku reassured, "She wouldn't allow me, or any of her friends for that matter, to drop out. But-"
"RIKU!" The teacher up front snapped, "You do realize class has started, do you have something you'd like to share with the class?"
"No ma'am." Riku rolled his eyes and Namine laughed.
Class soon ended and so did 2nd period along with 3rd period. Before she knew it, Riku and she were headed down to the lunch room with Kairi and Sora.
"Ha ha," Sora laughed, "Roxas got into a fight with his math teacher first period. TWICE!"
Kairi rolled her eyes, "I watched these two flirt all first period." She pointed to Riku and Namine. Namine blushed and Riku smiled REAL wide.
"Roxas says that he's gonna get on the morning school news on the intercom and call the principal gay sometime within the next week." Sora laughed.
"Well, Roxas says a lot of things." Riku chuckled a little as they all headed down the stairs.
"What's the 'morning school news' thing about?" Namine asked.
"It starts tomorrow, and they just let some random people talk through it announcing everything. They're too lazy to do it themselves." Kairi explained.
"Oh." Namine nodded, "You think they'll trust Roxas with it?"
"Heh, no." Sora laughed, "No one smart would trust Roxas with power like that. He's just bound to do something insanely stupid. His skateboard isn't his only weapon, Y'know."
"I'm sure he comes up with lots of things." Namine shook her head and laughed, "So what's for lunch?"
"Food." Sora shrugged, "I didn't feel like checking."
"Lazy bum." Kairi teased, pushing him lightly. He laughed and pushed her lightly back.
Riku sighed and quickened his pace, grabbing Namine's hand and dragging her along with him, "I'll see you guys later."
"Yeah, whatever." The two continued to go at it.
"They're still glaring." Namine shuddered.
"Ah. They're just jealous of you." Riku finally just answered her question.
"I doubt it." Namine ignored him.
He slapped his forehead, "alright, you believe what you want."
"Why would they be jealous?" Namine asked.
"Just ask Kairi later. She knows everything." Riku instructed.
"Fine." Namine huffed.
"So…" What're you going to do after school?" Riku asked.
"Whatever Kairi and the girls are doing, I guess." Namine shrugged.
"Figures." Riku sighed, "Roxas and Hayner want me to come to twighlight town with them today. Blitz ball starts tomorrow, and they claim they need more practice, so they're using me as a goalie."
"Oh." Namine giggled, "Are you joining blitz ball too?"
"Yeah, I guess. All the guys and I do every year anyways. Even if I didn't want to they'd force me." Riku sighed deeper, "Are you joining anything?"
"Well…" Kairi thought for a moment, "Depends. Kairi said she's going to cheerlead again, if they let her after her leg heals, but I'd prefer joining something like volleyball."
"I see." Riku nodded, "Well, I guess I'll see you in 4th period. Roxas and I are going over the blitz ball rules and guidelines again." He rolled his eyes, "He's determined to be the star player again this year. He's been best on the team for years."
Namine laughed, "Well, I'll see you then!"
"Bye," He let go of her hand and waved.
"What'cha doen'?" Selphie jumped out of no where and asked.
"I don't know anymore. I'm not hungry." Namine frowned, "And Roxas took Riku from me."
Selphie laughed, "I'm not hungry ether. You wanna talk for a while?"
Namine shrugged, "Eh, why not?"
"Yay!" Selphie exclaimed and dragged her off to one of the quieter, smaller student lounges. They reached a door that said student lounge #4 and entered, sitting down on one of the couches that surrounded the table in the middle.
"So… What's up?" Selphie questioned.
"All my teachers like me so far." Namine shrugged, "and… Most of them hate Riku."
Selphie laughed, "Typical."
"And, all these girl keep glaring at me. It's like they hate me deeply. What'd I ever do?" Namine pouted, crossing her arms on the table and hiding her face.
"You dated Riku, that's what." Kairi told, sitting down next to Selphie and laying her crutches down next to her.
"What's Riku have to do with this?" Namine questioned, cocking an eyebrow at the same time.
"He's only one of the most popular guys in the school- believe it or not." Selphie laughed, "You've taken him and now they all hate you."
"I still don't get it." Namine sighed. At her old school, there was no such thing as 'popular' students. Everyone was pretty much equal.
Kairi sighed deeply, "Okay, let me start off as simple as possible. Roxas, Hayner, Sora, and Riku -our friends- are very high in status here at Destiny High because of their looks and skills in Blitz Ball, therefore, most of the girls in our schools favorite thing to do is drool over them. Now, since you're dating Riku, they are obviously going to hate you for taking their eye candy for yourself."
"So I'm a bad person now?" Namine whined.
Kairi only sighed deeper, "No... They're just very jealous. Um.. How do I say this?- since you're dating one of the most popular guys in the school, that kinda gives you... advantages and disadvantages. In other words-"
"Instant fame." Selphie laughed, cutting her friend off.
"Well, they don't hate Kairi." Namine continued to pout.
"That's because Kairi's already friends with everyone. She's like a mage-prep!" Selphie laughed harder.
"You're just jealous I have so many friends!" Kairi crossed her arms and huffed.
"Am not!" Selphie defended.
"Are to!" Kairi pressed.
"Oh…" Namine palmed her forehead and sighed miserably.
After the rest of the school day was over, Riku walked Namine to her locker before he left with Roxas in a few minutes.
"Are you getting the hang of it?" Riku watched as she struggled to open her locker.
"It's…" Namine frowned, "Getting a little easier."
"Here," Riku's leaned over her and set his hands on top of hers, dialing the combo slowly while directing her fingers, "There." He said when the locker opened and he stepped back again so she could grab her stuff.
"Thanks." Namine smiled at him wide, but then scowled when she heard more hissing and whispering behind her from the other girls. She turned around quickly and yelled at the top of her lungs, "WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!?"
Everything got quiet for a few moments, and then the whispering and scowling of the jealous girls continued.
"Yelling isn't going to make them leave you alone." Riku pointed out.
"Yeah, well I can try." Namine shoved her books into her back pack, flung it over her shoulder, and slammed the locker shut.
"They'll move on once they realize it's hopeless," Riku started, "But if you show them it's bothering you, they'll keep it up."
"I can take care of myself." Namine continued to glare as they started to walk down the hall way.
"Making them even more jealous might make them go away too." Riku suggested, Namine fully aware of where he was going with this, but she asked anyways.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" Namine questioned.
"Wait till they're all watching." Riku snickered evilly.
"They already are." Namine looked around the area and back up at Riku.
Riku smiled real wide and then stopped in the middle of the hall way, making sure all the obsessed girls were watching, and then grabbing Namine's face, tilting her chin with his fingers and pressing his lips against hers.
And then he pulled away after he heard the instant gasps and screams of the crazy fan girls.
They al walked off, shooting death glares at Namine as they walked past, the both of them just smirking.
"And there they go! See, I told you!" Riku laughed.
She clung to his arm, "Ah! You just wanted the kiss."
"Bingo!" Riku smiled even wider, and Namine laughed at him.
So the first week of school went on, and soon was over. Namine finally got used to her classes, and didn't need Riku to show her around anymore, but he did often anyways. The obsessed girls started leaving her alone, although a few of them still seemed to be stalking her. weirdAnd All the guys made the blitz ball team again. Kairi was guarantied she'd get to join cheerleading again after January when her leg was healed, and Namine even got into Volleyball. Things were going great!
Well… That is… Until Sheshowed up, a week before October.
+TO BE CONTINUED+
A/N: Another rather long chapter. PHEW! And I kinda gave away what's coming next! XD I hope you enjoy the next chapter. (If I get 8 reviews) I'll try to update as soon as possible, but I don't know exactly when, because spy ware was just installed onto my computer and I have no clue what to do with it.

So If you've got any helpful ideas that I could use to try to get the stupid Virus off, please help me. -.- I'm lost and nobody's helping me.
