A/N: I'm sorry if the chapter isn't that good but I'm kind of a beginner in fan fiction and this is my first fanfic, but I hope u enjoy it by the way this is not another high school over dramatic made up fic, this story was based on a true experience.
Hidden secrets
Everything started just the same as each year, the nosy groups of kids seeing who had bought cool clothes over the summer or got tanned, friends hugging, couples, old and new holding hands and such; but Yuna paid more attention to the same couples from last year, still together and with this sign of affection so deep towards each other you could notice just by looking at them
"Why can't I be like that again?"
"Like whom?" a young blonde Al Bhed replied from behind
"Rikku!! I haven't seen you in like ages, where have you been?!"
"Oh nothing I stayed in Destiny Islands the whole summer it was rocking! Said Rikku jumping up and down like a 5 year old who had been given too much sugar "There was this very hot lifeguard in the beach I pretended to be drowning just so he would give me a mouth to mouth respiration! ."
"You never change do you ¬¬?"
"I was going to do it for a second time until I realized he had a girlfriend"
"Serves you right" said Yuna distractedly as Rikku continued to rave on about her great summer
"So how was your summer?" asked Rikku with her eye on a group of guys passing by
"Nothing much, pretty boring if you ask me" said Yuna with her eyes still glued to the same couple she had been looking at before "Rikku I need to ask you a favor, would you...
"Oh look there's Gippal!! Gotta go! Cya! " and with that the Al Bhed left at such speed that one could think Brother was approaching but it was something much worse...
"Hey!!" Ana said with her quirky high pitched voice that could drill a hole into one's ears even if she was 200 feet away from distance
"Hey ..."
Ana was Yuna's worst nightmare ever since she met her, of course since Yuna was so nice, a little too nice perhaps, she always replied to whatever she asked her when she didn't have anyone else to talk to and never turned her down when she needed her help pretty much getting taken advantage of, but her continuous sarcasm and criticism of other people and her stuck up ways was just what made Yuna enraged inside.
The bell rang causing a large group of people to move towards their homeroom and with that Yuna told Ana In such a rush that she almost ran out of breath: "sorry but got to go, don't want to be late for class"
As Yuna was walking towards her homeroom she was looking at her index card with the number 1049 in big bold letters
"Hmmm wonder why the big number there's not that many classrooms in school" she wondered aloud in her self distraction causing herself to trip with someone on her way "Gosh! I'm so sorry I didn't realize where I was walking! Here let me help you pick up your stuff" said Yuna with such an embarrassment that she didn't dare look up to see who it was
"No, no it's ok I can pick it up myself, hey before you go, could you tell me where..."
But before he had finished the sentence Yuna had already left
Later in homeroom
"Ok class my name is Ms Graham"
"Yay! So does that mean you are giving us cookies -?" said Rikku causing some giggles to come from the back of the class
"¬¬, anyway you know that homeroom is to last 15 minutes and then you head to your first period and second and so on, during these 15 minutes I give you handouts of stuff going round school, today I'm going to hand out your schedule, your lunch applications and your emergency contact cards and the last two are to be filled out and brought by tomorrow; my only rules are talk softly and no talking at all when the announcements are on"
Blah, blah, blah was all Yuna heard after
When Yuna received her schedule she wasn't thrilled, she had Spiran history for first period, Spanish for second, science for third, and... Keyboard for fourth?
"Oh boy this is going to be a long day"
"Why what happened?" asked a guy with blonde spiky hair and an eye patch on his right eye, behind Yuna
"They gave me keyboard as an elective this year instead of art" replied Yuna with what sounded more like a grunt
Yuna had always liked to draw and although she wasn't what you would call a professional, she did always enjoy drawing something to liberate her mind
"Don't worry I got the same class with you, as a matter of fact we've got all the same classes"
"Any questions?" asked Ms. Graham to a very gloomy class for the exception of...
"Yes dear?"
"When are we getting our cookies?"
First Period
"Good morning class my name is Ms. Lulu, I'm your history teacher and I plan to teach you all there is to know about our Spiran history. Let me tell you straight forward, I'm very strict and I only like to say things once, no late works in my class and absolutely NO cheating on tests, break any of my rules and it's not going to be pretty, understood??"
"Yes Ms. Lulu "said the class halfheartedly
"Alright, dear would you start handing out the books?" she said to a kid on the first row
"You are handing books on the first day?" a kid starting protesting "this is insane!"
"Sir I would appreciate it if you stayed quiet"
"I thought this was a free world where we were allowed to express our opinions" Yuna said hotly surprised by her own attitude
"Not here you are not, here inside this 4 walls you are living a dictatorship, my dictatorship and next time any of you give me attitude I'll give you a referral (A/N: a referral a form filled out by a teacher that affects your record and that is sent to the principal in which he decides whether you are to clean a certain are of school, pick up garbage, or sent to a classroom in which they make you copy of a whole thick dictionary for one or two weeks depending on the case)
"Ok class, as soon as you get your books turns to page 15 and start reading silently chapter one and I want the section review questions and answers plus the activity before you leave this class, understood?"
"Yes Ms. Lulu"
After the class ended
"I thought that was never going to end" sighed Yuna to herself "let's see hmmm Spanish next in room 22 with Ms. White" When Yuna entered the room it wasn't that full there were only a few people there, just as she liked it, she felt like getting the semi-last seat in the first row it looked like the comfiest spot, the air was just right and the teacher wouldn't be able to pay much attention to her. Gippal sat right behind her, and as soon as he sat down he put his feet under Yuna's desk and started moving it like he was trembling.
"Just something else he likes to do to annoy me" Yuna mumbled to herself
She started looking around to see if she saw any other familiar faces, nope as usual, for the three years she had taken Spanish the only familiar person in that class was always Gippal
As soon as the bell rang, for the first time Ms. White raised her head from her papers in her desk and looked at the class
"Buenos Dias" (good day)
Before she continued she was cut off by a knock in the door, when the teacher opened the few girls in the class got wide eyed and started whispering stuff to each other, unfortunately Yuna couldn't see because the person had not entered the classroom yet and from the side of the room she was in, she couldn't see outside the door
"I'm sorry I'm late, I'm new in this school and I guess I got kind of lost"
"I've heard that voice before I think he was the one I tripped with this morning"
Yuna was finally able to catch a glimpse of him when he entered the classroom and she too got wide eyes, there, in front of the class was standing a tall, tanned muscular, hot guy; with spiky blond hair and deep blue eyes flashing such a perfect, shiny smile Yuna thought she would have to use sunglasses in order to look at him when he smiled. His eyes were wandering the room and stopped right where Yuna was sitting and stayed there for 7 seconds, seven seconds that for Yuna seemed like an eternity and after that he flashed another smile.
"He looks like him. But it couldn't possibly be him..."
"Take a seat please"
Ms. White continued to talk on about the rules and what they were to do daily in class, to Yuna and Gippal's surprise Tidus sat next to Yuna, Yuna pretended it was no big deal although she thought it was and Gippal couldn't hide his face of discomfort near his presence. Gippal's force on Yuna's chair became stronger almost causing all of her stuff to fall down
"STOP IT K? It's very annoying!!!"
Yuna received weird glances from the rest of the class
"Tell us when you are finished Yuna, from what I know of, I was taught never to interrupt someone when they are talking, so since you are talking I don't want interrupt till you're finished so tell me when I can go on"
"Hehehe"
"Are you finished now?"
"Yes" replied Yuna looking down, and blushing a shade of furious red
"Ok as I was saying we will try our best to speak Spanish during the whole class..."
"Hey you are the girl I tripped with on my way to homeroom this morning"
"Yeah I'm so sorry about that!!" whispered Yuna somehow loudly receiving an angry look by the teacher which only made Tidus chuckle
"Great now he must think I'm the biggest dork there is"
"Don't worry, it was just an accident" he said coolly
"Ok for your first assignment I want you to pair with the person next to you and write an interview of your partner, It doesn't have to be more than 3 paragraphs, this assignment will be a grade in participation if you get it done, I won't worry much about the spelling and grammar because all I want to know in what parts you need reinforcement on, the sole purpose of this assignment is to get to know your classmates better, well now you may begin"
To Gippal's disgust he watched as Tidus scooted his chair closer to Yuna's, his jealousy welling up on him as he watched them chat as if they had known each other for years, as he had know her as many years as he had known her, he just sat there glaring at them as they switched schedules and looked at each other with some sort of glint in their eye corners and as...
"Excuse me, er; I think we are supposed to be working in our interviews" said a girl with long, brown hair and matching eyes interrupting gippal's thoughts
"Oh yeah, sorry Lenne"
After 45 more minutes of class the bell rang announcing it was time for third period
"Those of you who didn't get to finish the assignment raise your hand"
Tidus and Yuna raised their hands a little embarrassed, causing Ms. White to sigh with exasperation "you had more than one hour to finish a 3 paragraph assignment and you were the only ones that didn't finish because you were slacking off"
"We did do our assignment alright, we asked each other questions for the interview, and problem was we forgot to write it down, hehe" answered Tidus flashing a cheesy smile to the teacher which only caused Yuna to get into a fit of giggles "sorry"
"Ok I suggest you two get together after school and get the assignment done for next class, now you may leave"
"This guy..., he just reminds me of him so much"
The rest of the day went by pretty much the same boring self as it did in the morning until it was finally 6th period and the bell oh so anticipated that announced when freedom was going to come finally ranged, everyone rushed out of the door to get the most out of that little freedom that was given to them only to be taken away the next day; Yuna, as always, took her time to pack up her stuff and leave. Outside she was greeted by Rikku and the rest of the gang
"Hey Yuna did you see the new guy at school?!?!? Isn't he finnneee!? I've heard that you and he are partners for an assignment; can I help you guys out? I can be a great help if you allow me! Doesn't he look like this dude..."
"Yes I saw him, yes he is fine, yes we are partners, NO you can't help us out, and I don't know which dude you are talking about" answered Yuna in the exact same order "How did you find out?"
"A little birdie told me, what do you mean you don't know what dude I'm talking about? You are telling me that you never heard or seen the guy that..."
"No I've never heard or seen him" replied Yuna almost a little too instantly
"Ok, Ok sheesh"
"So is he going to your house?" asked a girl with silverish hair and red crimson eyes dressed all in black
"Yep, you bet he is Paine" answered Rikku for her at the same time winking and nudging Paine
"Humph!"
"What's up with him?" whispered Rikku to Yuna at the same time pointing at Gippal
"I dunno, He's been acting weird since this morning"
"Tell me about it" said Baralai from behind them
"Well guys I got to go or my bus is going to leave me see you guys tomorrow!"
"It is not fair, all of my friends go walking home and I'm the only one that has to go on bus. If my mom weren't that strict..."
Yuna was greeted by her mom when she entered the house
"Darling how was your day?"
"Ok I guess"
"What do you mean you guess?"
"It was great mom" said Yuna with a little emphasis on the word great
"Is there something wrong dear?"
"No there isn't" Yuna lied and locked herself up in her room. She glanced outside the window and her eyes were stationed in the direction of the tree right next to her window but she wasn't thinking nor seeing the tree, her mind was somewhere else
"He looks like him, but it's not him "she whispered to herself in a barely audible tone still staring at the nothingness. She threw herself in her bed and took a glance under her desk, where a well hidden shoe box laid. She stared at it for a few moments and then said "It's not him!" and covered her head with a pillow to shuffle the sound of her sobs.
A/N: I'm sorry I couldn't find a FFX character that resembled Ana's personality, I thought of Dona but I've already seen it in another fic and I don't want to steal other people's ideas lol and no Gippal isn't going to be the bad guy in the story, you'll find out soon anyways don't forget to review, no flames plz, I accept constructive criticism tho -
