Namine walked around the beach looking for Sora. She spotted him. He was fighting with his friends, to get his shirt back. Riku was holding high in the air so Sora couldn't reach. "Seriously guys give it back!" he said. Riku threw it to Wakka and Wakka threw it to Tidus. It was a game of monkey in the middle.

Namine walked closer. "Guys!" Sora said, he turned around and faced Namine. Tidus threw Sora his shirt. "You and your girl go do some mushy gushy stuff now…bye," and the three guys walked away.

Sora and Namine both blushed at the statement. Sora then remembered what he was going to show Namine. "Namine turn around," Sora put his hand around Namine and made her turn around. She was blushing while he was doing this. She heard Sora fumble and make some noise in the background. She started turning her head.

"No peaking!" Sora said. Namine turned her head back. "Okay, you can look now." Sora said cheerfully. Namine turned around. "Tadah!" Sora was holding up a brand new sketchbook with twenty assorted color pencils. Namine was speechless. "I don't know but something in my heart told me that you liked to sketch," he said smiling (more like someone).

He handed her the sketchbook. "Sora, thank you so much! This is the best present anyone has given me!" Namine said smiling. Sora smiled back.

"First things first," Sora said. "What's that?" she asked. He snatched the sketchbook out of Namine's hands and ran away, " You gotta catch me!" he said laughing. Namine ran after him she looked annoyed but she was really laughing.

She tried catching up to him and got pretty close. She was about to dive for him but he jumped out of the way. And Namine fell in the sand. Sora stopped and crouched near her. "Namine, are you okay?" he asked. Namine pulled her face up to reveal an evil smile. "I'm fine, Sora." "Good," Sora said nervously.

Suddenly, Sora's face fell down into the sand. His mouth filled with sand. Namine triumpently stood above him. She grabbed the sketch book and put it in one of her bags. "Sora you lose!" she stuck out her tounge at him. He started ot get up. "I never lose!" He started chasing her. Namine ran away from him. She ran to the shore where the waves were crashing.

"Namine look out!" Sora screamed. "Wha-" she said as she fell into the the freezing ocean. Her new clothes got soaking wet.

I ruined two outfits...in one day

She blew her wet bangs out her face. Sora just stood there laughing his pants off. "Sorry Namine but that was priceless," he said whipping the tears out of his eyes. He held out his hand for Namine. She took it and pulled him into the water with him. "Ahhhhh!" he sceamed as he fell face first into the water. "Look who's all wet now?" Namine asked.

Sora picked up his face out the water. "We both are," he said with a smile. He looked gorgeous. His wet hair was beautiful and his smile was so bright. Namine found herself blushing again. "Hey Sora?" Namine said. "Yeah?" "Do you know about Rachael's band?" "Yeah, aren't they having a concert tonight or something?" Namine nodded. " I was wondering if we could go?" Namine asked. Sora nodded. "The whole gang is going." Sora said with a smile.

He looked at his watch. It was 6:15! "Namine, we have to go!" He pulled her up and then he started running to his bike.

Sora and Namine got home around 6:30. They only had a little more than an hour to take showers to get the dirt out of their hair. And change clothes and get to the party. Sora went first. He took a little longer shower than before. He had to work really hard to get the sand out the forest of hair he had. He decided to wear a grew sweatshirt that said Destiny High on it and a pair of jeans. He ran down the stairs. "Namine it's your..." before he could finish his statement Namine was up the stairs in the shower.

Sora looked down at his watch again. It was 6:55. He hoped Namine didn't take a long time in the shower.

Namine was done taking the shower in less than 20 minutes. She knew exactly what she was going to wear to the concert. She and Rachael had picked it out at the mall. It was a dress that had white, turquiose, and red horizontial stripes across it. It went up to a little higher than her knees.

At the mall she and Rachael had bought a series of hair products to make Namine's hair more lively. Today Namine new exactly what she was going to do. She took the curler and curled the ends of her hair. She got a bobbing pin and pinned her bangs up, so she had a "bump" as some people would call it. Finally she spashed some perfume on her and put on her pink ballet flats.

She walked out at 7:40. Sora was waiting paciently down the stairs. When he saw Namine walk out he was speechless...

She looks so goergeous...it's breath taking.

"Ni-nice clothes," he managed to stutter. Namine just smiled and they left. They got to the party at 8:00 exactly. The gang was there too. Namine looked and saw there was this wooden plantform on the beach, it was a dancefloor and there was this stage where instrumetns were set up. A gaint banner that said Papercut hung over the stage.

"Namine!" Namine turned around to see Rachael. She gave her a hug. "Okay, let me introduce you to the gang! This the Caitlin, the drummer," she pointed to a girl wearing a white jacket with music notes on it and a black shirt that had a tape on it and shorts. She had light brown hair. "Hey,"she said.

"This is Jackie, the lead singer," she pointed to a girl with blackish brown curly hari wearing grayish capris and a gray shri with music notes and a pink cami under. "Hey!" she said smiling.

"And this is Kyle, the singer and bassist" She pointed to a boy with black skater hair that almost covered his beautiful blue eyes. He was wearing a jeans and a t-shirt that said Papercut in big bold letters. "You leave off the other part," said Caitlin. "Of course she does," giggled Jackie. Namine was confused. Jackie walked up to her. "You see Rachael and Kyle are dating," she said with a snicker. This made both of them blush ten shades of red.

"Well, we gotta go start the concert, Namine," Racheal waved and so did the rest of the band. As they were walking up the stage Namine saw Racheal and Kyle were holding hands.

That's so sweet...

The concert started. They had played their first song, a song called "I Don't Wanna Be in Love". Namine just stood on the side. She didn't really know how to dance, they don't really teach you at Castle Oblivion how to dance.

"Now you know what to do, so come on feelin' good," Kyle sang the last words of the song.

Racheal grabbed the mic, "This next song is deticated to my new friend Namine and her special someone," she said witha wink. Namine blushed thrity shades of red.

I'm going to kill her later.

Namine looked around. Everyone on the dance floor were in couples. They were dancing close together, holding each other forever. It looked so beautiful.

They look in love…

"Looking at you, holding my breath for once in my life I'm scared to death. I'm taking a chance letting you inside," sang Kyle

"I'm feeling alive all over again! As deep as the sky, under my skin" Jackie sang back. "Like being in love, she says, for the first time," she sang softly.

Someone tapped on Namine's shoulder. She turned around, staring back at her were a pair of ocean blue eyes. "May I have this dance, Madma?" Sora asked holding his hand out. Namine took it blushing and smiling. "Just to let you know I don't know what I'm doing so don't get mad at me if I step on your feet," she giggled. Sora smiled.

He brought Namine closer to him. "First you put your hands around my neck," He took Namine's hands and brought them around his neck. "And I put mine around your waist." Sora did so. This made both of them blush but they were smiling at the same time. Sora's feet started to move slowly. And Namine followed.

" The world that I see inside you.Waiting to come to life," Kyle sang.

Sora pulled Namine closer. She could smell his ocean sent, from the swim they had earlier. He spun her around. They stared at each. There blue eyes meeting each other.

"Being in love…for the first time," Jackie sang softly.

And that was it…it was done. Everyone on the dance floor seperated, the couples went their separate ways. Namine arms were still around Sora's neck and Sora's hands were still around her waist, holding tight. They realized what position they were in and quickly pulled away from each other.

Sora was about to say something but he was cut off. "SORA!!" Kairi came running up to him and hugged his arm. "Sora come dance with me!" She said pulling him into the center of the dance floor. He wanted to stay with Namine but she was pulling him away form her. Before he new it she was no where to be found.

"Everybody look at me, me. I walk in the door you start screaming. Come on everybody whatcha here for? Move your body around like a nympho,"

Namine stood outside of the dance floor. Looking at Kairi dance slutily around Sora. She looked like a stripper. Her head started to hurt. Namine decided to walk away, she couldn't bare to look at Kairi and Sora…together.

She walked along the beach to a log. She sat down and looked at the stars.

It's so beautiful…I've never seen anything like this…ever

She felt the log get heavier. She looked over and saw a boy sitting next to her. He had reddish brown hair that was short and slightly spiky. He had two emerald green eyes. He looked back at Namine and flashed a toothy grin.

Wow…he has beautiful teeth.

He was wearing a green hoddie, with a black shirt under and beige cargo shorts. "Hey my name's Jake Spinder," he smiled, "What's yours?" He asked. "Namine, just Namine," Namine replied sheepishly. He held out his hand and Namine took it. "So, I've never seen you around are you new here?" Namine nodded. "Yeah, I moved here yesterday." "So how do you like it here?" He asked. "It is so beautiful here! Where I came from the it's was very boring and ugly," Namine giggled. "Well, it's not as beautiful as you," he said with a smile and he edged closer. This made Namine blush.

"Seriously, you're extremely beautiful," he put his hand around her waist. Namine felt incredibly uncomfortable.

What is he doing?

She was going to pull away from him, but his grasp was too tight. She didn't want to say let go of me, but she didn't know what else to say. He pulled Namine closer to him, so she could smell his disgusting male perfume. Namine was struggling slightly to get away from him. "I want you," he whispered into her ear. Namine's body went numb.

He moved his mouth to hers, and kissed her lips forcefully. And started making out with her. Namine was trying to push him off her but he was holding her hands. All she wanted to do was scream Sora.

Back at the dance floor

"But it's just the price I pay destiny is calling me! Open up my eager eyes…Cause I'm Mr. Brightside!" Kyle sang into the microphone.

Sora slowly and surreptitiously sneaked away from Kairi. He walked off the dance floor with out being caught.

I wonder where Namine is? Where could she have gone?

A guy and a girl were walking by him. "Did you see what Jake Spinder was doing?" He heard the girl say. "Nope? What?" "Well I was walking along the beach to find my jacket and I saw practically attacking this blonde haired girl with his mouth." "If it's Jake, I don't want to know what is going to happen to her..." "We all know what is going to happen to her…It's Jake," the girl said.

Sora didn't hear the last sentence she said. He started running when he heard the words "blonde haired girl".

When I find them I'm going to kill that bastard. Anyone BUT HIM!

He kept running.

Back to where Jake and Namine are:

"Jake," Namine said between kisses, "Get off me," she squealed helplessly. "You don't like me like that?" He asked, but then started kissing her again. Namine was trapped he was holding her hands. So she couldn't punch him. Namine felt helpless like she always had.

"Get off of her," an angry voice hissed. Namine's heart skipped a beat. Jake got off her. He looked up and so did Namine. Standing next to them was Sora, mad as ever.

" I said get off of her, Spinder." Sora hissed again. Namine was glad he was there, but she was scared she had never seen him so mad. "Oh! Namine, you didn't tell me you're acquainted with our little island hero, Sora? Who would have thought the biggest loser ever would know such a hot babe?" Namine grunted. "How many times do I have to tell you? Get off of Namine!"

Jake let go of Namine's hands and walked off the log. Namine sighed relived and started rubbing her wrists where Jake had held them. Jake started walking to where Sora was. "What are you going to do to me now, Sora? Hit me with your little wooden sword?" He spat in Sora's face. Sora's fists clenched. His fist went flying, right into Jake's stomach. Namine gasped.

Jake fell onto the floor throbbing in pain. Sora walked over to Namine. He put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you ok?" he asked sincerely. Namine nodded. Before Sora could say anything else, a hand pulled him down.

Jake stood up. "Do you really think I'm going to go down with only one punch." Jake brushed the dirt of his face. He kicked Sora in the face. Sora let out a yelp of pain. That made Namine clench her heart, it hurt her too.

Sora started to get up, but Jake put his foot on his back and pushed him down into the sand. Sora let out a cry of pain. "How do you like that, Hikari?" Jake said with a smile on his face. Namine closed her eyes.

Stop…Stop! STOP!

"STOP!" she screamed. She jumped on Jake's back, causing him to lose balance and fall. This caused Namine to fall under him. He pined her to the ground. "Let go of me!" she screamed in his face. "Sorry I don't let beautiful girls go…"he said with an evil smirk. Namine was about to kick him in the balls. When a fist came flying and smacked Jake in the face. He fell to the floor, his nose bleeding. Namine looked up and saw Sora. He held out his hand and Namine took it.

"Let's go before this freak, gets up again." Namine nodded and shivered. Sora seeing this took his jacket off and wrapped it around Namine. "Thanks," she said softly, "for everything."
