Life As It Is
Chapter 2 â Shattered Dreams
A/N: I got a review! ((dances around happily)) On with the story! Oh, and I hope the spacing is right this time...
Disclaimer: I am a poor author in need of reviews and money. Of COURSE I own Kingdom Hearts! ((rolls eyes)).
ria-aeon-hunter: Glad you like it! You are so sweet. Here's the next part.
Yuffie wearily opened the door to her dorm. After her first day of school, all she wanted to do was sleep, but her teachers had given her homework. 'What did I ever do to them?' she thought. "Hi Yuffie!" Aerith sang from the kitchen as soon as Yuffie opened the door. "Hi Aerith, and Kairi!" Yuffie replied, spirits lightening. Kairi looked up from her Girl's Life magazine and said, "Hey Yuf."
"Watcha doing?" asked Yuffie.
"Taking a quiz" replied Kairi, busily circling her answers. Yuffie looked over her shoulder, reading the title, "How to tell if a guy likes you". Pictures of Squall flashed in her head. 'No! Why am I thinking of HIM?' she thought, but was stopped when Kairi jumped up and screamed, "HE LIKES ME!!!!!!!"
"Who?" Yuffie asked.
"Oh no... Yuffie why did you just say that?" Aerith whined.
"What's going tâ" Yuffie started, but was interrupted by Kairi.
"The most GORGEOUS, HANDSOME, NICEST, MOST AWESOMEST guy in the WORLD likes me! THE SKY LOVES ME!!!" cried Kairi.
"Sorry Aerith" muttered Yuffie.
"Yeah, I did the same thing..." whispered Aerith.
"He's SO nice. Such a nice name too! He's smart, funny, and did I mention he was gorgeous?" Kairi continued.
"Yes, I believe you did. Anyhow, dinner is served." Aerith replied, which finally shut Kairi up.
"Hey Yuffie, you should check out the quiz. Aerith found out that Cloud liked her, so I guess it's pretty accurate." Kairi said, handing the magazine to her.
"Honestly, Kairi. Do you THINK I have anyone to quiz about?" Yuffie retorted, handing back the magazine.
"Aw come on, you must like SOMEBODY" coaxed Kairi.
"No one" was Yuffie's simple reply.
"Okay" shrugged Kairi, "I'll just put it in your room if you decide otherwise." and went back to their delicious pasta.
Sighing, Yuffie sat down on her bed to dry her hair. She had just taken a shower. The quiz was staring accusingly up at her. "Alright, you win" Yuffie grumbled to the quiz.
Q: Is he especially nice to you?
Yuffie quickly scribbled a no. 'Squall nice? That's like an oxymoron...' Yuffie thought.
The list went on and on. Yuffie quickly read the results.
"Either he really hates you, or he's playing hard-to-get. Don't go hopping for joy though; guys usually don't play hard-to-get. Back off, stop being so annoying, and maybe he'll like you, but only as a friend. He hates you. Take your chances on another guy."
Yep, according to Girl's Life, Squall hated her. Yuffie almost cried. I mean, what did she ever do to him? 'Focus Yuffie' she thought, 'your life does not focus around this one perverted guy'. Taking a few deep breaths, she got up and started studying for the math test next week, the science test on Friday, and that research paper on this famous astronomer dude named Copernicus.
"There's a dance tonight" announced Kairi during breakfast, "Aerith's going with Cloud, and I'm going with Sora. You need to find a date, Yuffie."
"I do not!" retorted Yuffie indignantly, "I have too much homework anyways"
"You are going to this dance, Yuffie" Kairi commanded.
"Fine..." Yuffie grumbled. Once Kairi made up her mind, there was no stopping her from achieving it.
"Find a date by lunch or else you're going with Squall" Kairi replied. Yuffie felt a tinge of hope in her heart. Squall wanted her to go with him?
"Yeah, I heard Sora also made the same command to Squall" said Aerith. Yuffie felt her heart plummet to the ground. Yuffie grabbed her backpack and headed out.
"Hey where ya going?" asked Kairi.
"To find a date" replied Yuffie. She was NOT going with Squall even if she had to go with the dorkiest guy in the school.
"Hey watch it!" a tall silver-headed guy that Yuffie didn't know said when she accidentally bumped into him. 'He's pretty cute...' Yuffie thought, and automatically turned on the flirtly side of her.
"Sorry. What's your name?" she said, flipping her hair.
"Sephiroph." he said, staring at her. Or rather, her hair. "wanna go to the dance with me tonight?" he asked.
Yuffie smiled, "Sure!" she replied.
Yuffie rushed to Aerith and Kairi during lunch.
"You found one?" asked Kairi.
"Yep." Yuffie said, giggling.
"What's his name?" asked Aerith.
"Sephiroph. Guy with silver hair. Pretty tall." Yuffie described.
"Oh my!" said Aerith worrily."
"What's wrong with going out with the most popular guy in the school?" Kairi asked Aerith.
"It's just that... Cloud and Sephiroph has been arch enemies since middle school, and of course Squall hates him too. He used to go after me a lot..." muttered Aerith.
"Aw Aerith! What am I going to do?" wailed Yuffie.
"Nevermind. Just go out with him. It doesn't matter... that was long past. Maybe since he's going out with you they'll patch up." Aerith said hopefully.
"I hope nothing goes wrong..." Yuffie said fearfully.
It was 7:25. Cloud and Sora were already there. So was Squall. He was going to go to the dance alone, unless Yuffie's date didn't come. 'Oh God, please let him come!' Yuffie thought.
"So who's your date tonight?" asked Cloud again.
"For the 52nd LAST TIME, I'm not telling!" Yuffie said mysteriously.
The bell rang. Yuffie opened the door. A tall, slender silver-haired man walked in. "Hello. May I escort the Lady Yuffie to the dance?" he said.
"You!" Cloud snared. Squall looked as if he was going to kill Sephiroph.
"Yes me." Sephiroph said. Turning to Yuffie he asked, "And why are THEY here? No matter, I don't want this to spoil your night."
Aerith looked helplessly at Cloud. "Cloud, that was a long time ago. Forget it!" she cried.
"Only for today..." Cloud snarled. They walked out the door.
"You look stunning" commented Sephiroph to Yuffie.
"Why thank you." Yuffie replied. She wore a dark green dress that looked very much like Aerith's pink one. ((A/N: Picture the outfit that Aerith always wears. Now turn it green. Tada!))
Evanescence's Everybody's Fool blared through the speakers.
"I love this song!" squeaked Yuffie, and soon Sephiroph and she were dancing.
Yuffie noticed Squall watch in the distance, and a bubble of happiness exploded inside her. 'Wait, I'm over Squall' she coached herself.
After a few more drinks, Yuffie was completely drunk and making out with Sephiroph. ((A/N: As much as I love Sephiroph, the mental image I'm receiving is not pretty))
She was making out with him. Squall couldn't believe it. Before he knew it, he had knocked Sephiroph down and severely bashing him with a beer bottle. People screamed. Yuffie just looked at him.
"Why'd you do that? I was having a goooooooooooooooooooooood time!" Yuffie said groggily.
"I'm taking you back to your dorm" said Squall, and dragged her out of the room. Fumbling through Yuffie's purse, Squall found the keys and opened the door. Finding Yuffie's room was quite easy, since the other two doors were closed and noises could be heard from inside them. He plopped Yuffie on her bed and decided to sleep on the couch in her room.
Barney's favorite song blared through two mini speaker phones.
"DAMN IT!" screamed Squall, and shut the alarm before Yuffie could reach it.
"My head hurts. And why are you here?" asked Yuffie.
"Because." replied Squall simply.
"JUST TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE!!!!!!!" Yuffie shrieked. It was a surprise that Kairi and Aerith didn't come running.
"No, I brought you here because it looked like you were ready to loose your virginity. The least you can do is be thankful, but I guess an undeserving, worthless brat like you is too special to say thank you, you shallow girl." Squall replied angrily, nostrils flaring.
Yuffie felt anger rising in her. "Well how was I supposed to know? I was drunk. You are so mean!" Yuffie cried, tears staining her cheeks.
"You know what? I'm over you. I might have liked you, but now I know how much of a worthless brat you are and you just aren't worth it." Squall snorted, leaving.
Yuffie felt terrible. Squall had saved her and the only thing she could do is pout. And he finally admitted liking her too, but then crushed whatever hope was left. 'I am never going to trust magazines ever again.' thought Yuffie gloomily. She fell back to her bed just lying there, thinking.
"Yuffie?" said a voice. It was Aerith. Yuffie ignored her. "Yuffie!" the voice bothered her again.
"Go away..." Yuffie groaned, rolling over.
"I heard what happened..." Aerith whispered.
"What'd he do? Tell the whole school?" Yuffie said sarcastically.
"Actually... we heard."
"And did absolutely nothing? Oh, what great friends YOU are."
"Yuffie..."
"Go away."
"Well, I'll leave some chicken noodle soup outside incase you're hungry."
Staring out in the space never seemed so fun...
A/N: So how was that? That was dedicated to my first reviewer ever! ria- aeon-hunter You rock! Oh, and I really really really really need ideas for Riku's girlfriend... R&R! Peace. Bee
