I yawned and rested my head in my hands. It was Monday morning and I had stayed up half the night talking to Selphie on the phone. What a mistake that was. My teacher, Mr. Montimiya, was yacking on to my homeroom about "why it's bad to write on bathroom walls". This was not how I wanted today to begin. I hoped PE (My first period class) would be better.

Why I convinced myself to think that is beyond me. I walked down the crowded hallway to the gymnasium. I felt something whack my shoulder and I whipped around, ready to curse them. But I stopped as soon as I saw those blue eyes staring down on me.

-Oh, hi Sora. I let out a small smile; you can't look at his face and not smile.

-Hey Kairi, guess what, my first period is PE. How bout you? Oh yes. did I mention that it was also my first day of high school?

-No kidding? Me too. I smiled again; today wasn't going to be so bad after all. At least my best friend was in one of my classes.

Sora and I continued our trip to the gym. This room was one of the few rooms in the building that I knew how to locate. I mean, come on, it's only the biggest room in the school. Once we got there, we sat with a group of freshman/sophomores who were sitting, also, on the bottom of a row of bleachers. Apparently we had been the last ones to arrive because once we sat down the teacher began to talk.

-Hello and welcome, again, to high school. This guy did not instantly appeal to me; his voice was too peppy. I supposed he was probably a cheerleader in his youth years. It kind of reminded me of the girls in my grade. -This is PE, your first period. You will be seeing me every other morning for the rest of this year, so get used to it. When you first come in go directly to the locker rooms to change. The girls' locker room is over there. He points to his right. -And the boys is over there. He points to his left. There is now a long pause in which everyone just stares at him.

-I am Mr. G, short for Ghallemego. Ah. Any questions? Sora raises his hand. -You! He says pointing to him.

-Well, I was just wondering if this class is crucial to our lives. What will happen if someone were to fail? I laughed, he was so blank.

-I suppose then you'd take the class over again.

-What if you failed the second time?

-No one will fail. Okay now, anymore questions? Sora, again, raises his hand. Mr. G points to him and nods.

-How many credits do we get for this class?

-One,

-So. could it kind of count as a science credit. Because you are kind of learning how your body works. and stuff. I laughed again and I could tell some others did as well.

-No, this class will not count as a science credit. It will count as an elective.

-But electives are what you choose, right? And no one chooses to take PE. Mr. G sighed.

-Just never-mind it boy, is there any real questions? No one raises their hand. -Okay, good. Now everyone go find an activity until the period is over. Tomorrow remember to bring some gym clothes! Everyone stood up and began to reunite with friends that they hadn't seen all summer. A group of freshman took out some basketballs and began to play a game of basketball. Sora and me stood and watched. I figured I needed a break to just sit, I wanted jr. high back so badly. Suddenly I noticed Riku approaching. I hadn't noticed he was in this class.

-Hey Riku! Sora exclaimed happy, as I was, to se a friendly face.

-So guys, how's the first day going so far? Riku questioned with a bit of an edge in his voice. He seemed rather happy.

-It's okay, I replied. Even though it really sucked so far, I didn't need him to know that.

-Well that's good. If you need any help, just find me.

-Oh Riku, just because you're a sophomore doesn't entitle you to treat us like dirt, Sora said. He was treating us like dirt? Maybe Sora was just feeling irritated because of how Mr. G treated him. Riku apparently noticed this and held back on the insults.

-So, what do you have next? Riku asked as he sat down next to me. I pulled my schedule out of my pocket and tried to un-crinkle it.

-Earth Science, I replied with less enthusiasm in my voice then a child who just lost his new red balloon in an updraft.

-So do I! Both Riku and Sora exclaimed at the same time. Oh this made me light up.

-Really!? I exclaimed, maybe I had heard them wrong. They both nodded and my smile spread even wider. Maybe today wasn't going to be that bad after all. I mean, so far, the three of us were together. I sighed happily and relaxed a little. I noticed a bouncy figure jump up to me and I strained my neck to look at her. Oh god, it was Selphie. She looked really pissed off. Yeah, I did talk to her on the phone last night; I also hung up on her when she was in the middle of describing her "first day" outfit.

-Kairi. I am very mad at you! Selphie yelled as she placed her hands on her hips and looked down, shoving her large head right into my face.

-My phone ran out of batteries Selph. I'm sorry!" I tried to cover it up. She let out a long sigh and sat down next to Sora. Man, the group was really all here. Now we just needed Tidus. But, of course, that word was a swear in Selphie's ears. You see, Tidus went away to prep school and Selphie is very depressed.

-What do you have after ES (Earth Science)? Sora questioned as he slipped his hands behind his head and reclined a bit.

-French, I said. This was okay, I liked French.

-French! Sora exclaimed almost jumping into the air. -I thought we had agreed on German!?!?! My eyes went wide. Seriously, why would I take German?

-Noooo.? I said praying that he was just kidding.

-Holy crap!!! I have to go! Sora then shot up and ran to the door cursing mildly under his breath.

-Hmmm. That's okay, I have French too, Riku smiled. I smiled back.

-At least one of you listened.

-Well, of course I took French. The language of love, ahhh, how could I resist? Selphie looked up dreamily to the ceiling. -Of course, I have that at the end of the day. I nodded slowly and looked down at my feet.

-Oh well, that's too bad, I lied and frowned, to try and make it sound sincere.

-Then we all have break. ah, then I have, I stopped mid sentence, dreading to say the word written in the period four slot. Riku eyed me and my sweat dropped. -Algebra, I said slightly under my breath.

-Hmmm. Riku sighed with me. He was obviously better at math than me and had geometry that period.

-I'm sure Sora will have Algebra with me. We were both in the same class last year. I said trying to lighten up my spirits. Of course this only made Riku's spirits soar dramatically downhill.

-Yeah, Riku agreed sadly. I frowned; I didn't like it when Riku was sad. Sure he looked irresistibly adorable when he had a pouting face on, but it still made me want to cry. Suddenly the sound of doors crashing open caused everyone in the room to look towards the opposite wall. Sora came running in, obviously out of breath and seriously angry. He marched over to us and sat down next to me again.

-Tried to transfer to French? I questioned sympathetically.

-And they wouldn't let me!!! Sora exclaimed, his face turning bright red with anger. -Ugh! I hate them!!!

-Oh Sora, calm down. It's only one class, I tried to comfort. -I'm sure we'll see each other a lot more.

-No, I wanted everything to be perfect! We were supposed to have every class together. I ruined it! I could tell Sora was having one of those "guy PMS" moments so I decided to choose my words very carefully.

-Sora. It's okay. It was all of our faults; we didn't make it clear. I'm sorry. Sora smiled. I was glad I had said the right thing or Sora would have probably blamed Riku some how and they would have gotten in another one of their "boyish" fistfights.

All four of us sighed. The bell rang and the whole room retreated to the two large doors in the corner.

-Remember! Gym clothes! Mr. G shouted as half the class had already left.

Riku led the way to the Earth Science room. It was on the second floor and I hadn't yet been up there. Also, there weren't as many kids in this hallway because there weren't as many student's on this side of the school. My locker was somewhere down here I figured. I hadn't gone to it yet, but Mr. Montimiya said I had locker number 666 (a good sign that me life at high school was going to be "hell", literally). We passed by lockers that read in the high 500's. Riku turned into a classroom as Sora and I followed. Selphie had gone on to an 'introductory to cooking' class. We sat down in three totally random desks, Sora sitting in the front, followed by me, with Riku sitting behind me. This really wasn't very desired seeing as Sora's 'bush' (also known as his hair) was in my way entirely. Luckily we were sitting in the far left side of the classroom, so we didn't have to look straight ahead to see the teacher, but to our right. We later found out that out teacher's name was Mrs. Costello. And I can tell you; if I had anymore 'all-nighters' with Selphie this class would make a good 'nap time'.

Next Riku and I were off to French. It took a few minutes to drop Sora off in the German room; he couldn't 'let go'. Upon entering I felt eerily happy. I liked this room it was. pretty. I don't know, it was so bizarre. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows over-looked the ocean. There was also a balcony. Of course I was pretty sure that it had never been used before. The lighting was good and the ceiling was high. I felt like I could breath.

I sat down next to Riku at one of the two-person tables. At every table it seemed to be two girls or two boys. It almost made me laugh because it seemed like elementary school again, how the boys and girls would separate form each other. Our teacher's name was Mr. Genest. He carried around a green fly swapper and pocketknife. I was a little concerned.

Finally it was a thirty-minute break and I wanted to find Sora to see if he survived or not. I dragged Riku down the hall to the German room and waited outside the door. I couldn't get the thought of the French teacher off of my mind. He was frightening, and he kept talking about how he drowned cats. Again, I was just a tad concerned.

-Did that Mr. Genest guy scare you as much as he scared me, Riku questioned as small groups of people began to emerge from the classroom.

-Yes. I believe he did, I replied. It was funny how we were always thinking the same thing. I smiled and leaned back against the wall as Sora appeared from the doorway.

-Gutentag! Riku exclaimed as Sora gave him a nasty glare.

-Oh, come on guys, let's um. Go find my locker?! I tried making light of the situation and led the two boys down the hallway.

-666. I mumbled under my breath as I slowly approached 665.

-I'm 675, said Sora as he walked ahead of me. I frowned when I looked at my locker. It was level with my eyes and not too high up, like they normally are for short people like myself.

-Sign of the devil. Riku sighed as he noticed I wasn't about to say anything. Form the distance I could hear Sora opening his locker and shoving some books in just as they fell out on top of him, knocking him to the ground. I giggled lightly.

-Yep, I replied to Riku. I heard Sora curse and I turned around to help him up.

-Well, you know, it's break. So why don't we go to the café and get something to eat, Riku suggested. I could use something to drink.

-Yea, that sounds good, you coming Sora? I questioned as Riku tried heaving me off. Sora was standing looking into his locker. He looked like a sad statue. -Sora? I questioned again and walked over to him.

-Oh, yeah. I'm coming, he said as he closed his door and gave me a fake smile. I frowned more and followed as Riku led us off to the cafeteria.

After we had a quick bite to eat Riku walked Sora and me to room 6, Algebra. Our teacher's name is Doc. Proulx. She seemed nice for the most part. At least she did today.

Next we had lunch. I had lunch with Riku and Selphie outside. The cafeteria extended outside and that's where most of us ate. This was a rather pleasant time, talking about our classes and teachers.

After lunch Sora and I went off to creative writing. We both decided on this class because Sora (as he stated) wasn't very good at 'art'. I didn't doubt him. Our creative writing teacher, Mrs. Makiya, was very nice. She reminded me of Sora's mom and I'm sure she reminded him of her too because through out the period Sora had that look on his face. The look he only gets when his mom talks to him. Mrs. Makiya also had a thing where she called everyone by 'honey', or 'sweetie'. It was kind of cute.

While Sora and I were in creative writing, Riku was taking wood shop. Next all four of us had. luckily enough. sex ed. Riku hadn't taken it last year because it was only offered to sophomores. This year though the school changed it to freshman so the new freshman class and sophomore class was taking it. We found great luck in having it all at the same time, in the same room. Joy. After 'sex ed', with Ms. Leibson. The three of us, again, had study all together. Study was held in the cafeteria and you could go outside if you wanted too. We all decided to go outside and wait for the day to end. We sat down in a nice spot on the grass and looked out over the ocean. The school was located halfway up a cliff so there was no possible way anyone would escape by jumping into the water. For one, it was nearly twenty feet down and you would find yourself atop five foot, jagged rocks that protruded out of the, as well, twenty-foot deep water. If the rocks don't kill you the powerful current would easily drown you.

-I want to go back to jr. high, I stated solemnly, more to myself then anyone else.

-I second that, Sora sighed. I looked at him. I figured his day was even worse than mine was. It looked like he was about to cry.

-It's okay you guys, it will get better. Try being the new guy and not having you two here with me. I suppose I wouldn't much like that either.

-At least we're all together again; I sighed trying to lift their spirits. They just sighed in return and there was nothing I could do. We sat in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying the presence of each other's company. Later the bell rang for dismissal and we all walked home. On the way we ran into Selphie. She had taken an extra class (something artsy) and was sorry that she couldn't have Study with us. She seemed really excited about the high school. She had made a bunch of Junior 'guy' friends and she was meeting them later so she headed off.

Sora, Riku, and I headed down to the beach. None of us had homework so we decided to let the afternoon fade away. We didn't really have hobbies, we just kind of ran around all day doing nothing. Of course this summer we hadn't seen a lot of each other. My mom sent me off to camp with Selphie and I had only gotten back a few days ago. It was quite a shock, actually, when I first saw Sora and Riku upon the day of my return. It didn't seen very possible but Sora is now almost as tall as he is. Sadly I have done nothing but grow 'wider'. Not fat, but hips. and things. you know. I could tell they were a little bit surprised as well. I began to giggle at the memory and Sora and Riku turned their sunburnt faces to me.

-What's gotten you so giddy all of a sudden? Riku questioned. Sora nodded on repulse and it a smile. One of the few real smiles I had seen all day.

-Nothing, I sighed. I looked out across the horizon. - I'm just lucky, that's all, to have friends like you guys. Riku and Sora smiled at me and agreed. It was a perfect ending to a not-so-perfect day.
