Meaning - Hello!

Namine - Hi!

Roxas - Mmm....

Meaning - what kind of greeting is that? Mmmm? What did you just have some of your moms strawberry cake?

Roxas - no, but at least my mom can cook!

Meaning - Are you saying mine can't?

Roxas - Maybe maybe not!

Meaning - *punches Roxas in Nose* are you ok Roxanne?

Namine - Are you ok!?

Meaning - You know, from now on I'm going to call you Roxanne, because I know people have trouble realizing that you're actually a girl.

Roxanne - You PUNCHED my NOSE! Are you crazy?

Meaning - you made fun of my mom's cooking!

Roxanne - I did no such thing

Meaning - see there's your femininity kicking in.

Roxanne - change my name back!

Namine - *****Sigh****

Once we get inside we go our separate ways to our lockers. We meet up in Sensei Squall's room. Sora is already seated at his desk, just doodling on the front of his binder. He looks up when he notices me and Naminé at our desks.

"Hey guys" he says.

"Hi Sora" Naminé greets cheerfully.

"Hey" I say.

"Did you guys finish the homework?" he asks.

"What homework?" Naminé and I say in unison.

"This" he pulls out a sheet from his slim black folder. "We were supposed to finish it for today"

"Oh that, I finished that ion class" I say, relieved.

"Man Sora, you almost gave me a heart attack" Naminé says still smiling.

"Hehe, Sorry" He says scratching his head.

As if on cue, Sensei walks in with a pen in one hand and a clipboard on the other "Take out your homework and compare it with two people" he demands.

I don't understand why he makes us compare our answers when we're going to take it up anyway. I compare – obviously – with Sora and Naminé. We get all the answers right and move on.

We take up the questions and I have to sit through about thirty minutes of Sensei Trying to explain this one question. Some guy named 'Akeno' or 'Akiko', or maybe it was 'Kano', anyway he didn't understand some rule. Which really sucks for him but, it's probably because he hadn't done his homework – what a douche.

Right after Sensei's elaborate and in depth explanation, Sensei bombarded our minds with a Pop quiz. As Naminé and I breezed through it, Sora was struggling.

Ok maybe he wasn't struggling – he was just taking a long time. I guess he's just a slow worker.

Naminé and I got up at the exact same time to hand in our quiz.

Law passes by quickly today, it's a free period to study for our upcoming test. I know everything in the unit like the back of my hand so I turn to talk to Hayner – who isn't doing anything that looks like studying.

"Hayner, you ready for the test or are you just too busy thinking about Olette to study" I see his face heat up immediately and I chuckle "Dude your face is red" I whisper.

For that he slaps me upside the head. "Shut up Roxas" he hisses.

"You look funny, because you're trying to be intimidating but you blushing" he just glares at me this time which makes me laugh.

"Well at least I'm not crushing over my best friend"

"Don't you mean at least you are crushing on your best friend" he lets out a sigh of frustration. "Hey what happened that other day when you came into the lunchroom and Olette was crazy mad?" I ask out of sheer curiosity.

"Oh, that," He starts "basically, I didn't do my English work because I fell asleep on my keyboard. Then I told Olette, and she got mad"

"Well obviously she's going to get mad, you know Olette; she's a worrywart. And she was only mad because she cared."

"Yeah yeah, I know. Anyway I told our teacher I would hand it in at the end of the day because my printer broke or something – which made Olette madder"

"I don't think that's a word" I cut in.

"I don't either, but yeah then she came and helped me with it" he concludes.

"And let me guess – you treated her with Ice cream to make it all better"

"Yeah pretty much" he chuckles.

I think those are the reasons why Hayner likes her. Olette is worries about him and when he's happy she's happy with him, but when he's mad she always does something to make him happy. And the fact that she's forgiving and childish at times but really mature at other times.

"Hayner – I really think you should tell her you like her." I suggest.

His expression changes to a depressed one "What if she doesn't like me"

I see a poster, read the word, and then point at it. I read out the words "Take your chance or someone else will"

He snorts "Give that advice to yourself"

"No see, there is a difference between you and me. I am a coward and I can admit it still holding my chin up. But you, you're way too stubborn and brave to ever admit that. And that my friend is why I'm giving you that generic advice" I smirk at his expression. It's somewhere between shocked, offended, and grateful.

Right after my little speech the bell rings. Well, that was refreshing.

I walk to my locker to put away my heave books. Then I make my way to Naminé's locker and she is already standing there waiting for me.

"Hey" she says "Let's go"

I follow her silently.

We get to the lunchroom and sit down at our usual table. Our friends start coming in starting with Selphie.

"Hey guys" she starts "Oh my god I was in Drama and we had to act out a scene from goldilocks and…"

If there is anything I have learned about Selphie it's that, it's never "hey guys how was English" or "Hey, what are you eating" – no way in hell. With Selphie it's like her greeting is 'Hi' followed by a long and hyper summary of her morning so far. What do I do to avoid it? I drown her out which is no longer a challenge.

When she asks me a question I answer with words that possess a neutral meaning like 'Somewhat' or 'Maybe'; it prevents further elaboration.

Soon enough everyone is at the table. I resort to talking to Naminé about the quiz, as my newest attempt at ignoring Selphie.

The whole lunch period passes by with me just talking to Naminé nonstop about random things.


Thanks for the Awesome revies guys! It really keeps me going!

Don't worry I would never really punch Roxas (reffering to intro) - most likely he'd pummle if I did (SP).

OH! And I was thinking of doing a Hayner interlude where he just talks about his emotions towards Olette. Review and Tell me what you think! ^_^
