Chapter 2 A harmless bit of fun?

AN: Thanks to Performula for the review don't worry thing will get less confusing as the story progresses. Where do you get the Al Bhed translator from? Please me in a review. Okay so I put the next chapter up anyway. I'm just a big softie at heart and I want you to read it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from FFX/FFX2 they belong to Squaresoft/ Square Enix I only own Luthae unless they have made up Seymour's little sis called Luthae but for now she's mine!!!

There was no way to describe how I felt at that moment. Sure I was happy, but I felt indebted to them if you like. I'd never really found friends like that before. When I was in Macalania I felt so different. Everyone there was Guado, I mean I was too but I always felt like I wasn't part of them even though I spent most of my years there. In this school however. I feel as if I'm meant to be here, almost as if something was calling me here as still is...

Luthae Paine and Yuna walked up the flight of stairs to room 845. When they opened the door Rikku was kneeling on the floor of the living room talking and playing Sphere Break with Shelinda. Rikku looked up when the three came in and looked at the green eyed teal and red haired girl. Luthae's hair was as it says teal coloured, and had red streaks running through it at various intervals. It was also wavy and reached just below her shoulder blades. The ends of her hair were curled outwards which made her look even more individual and interesting. Her eyes also portrayed a lovely shade of sea green. To most people and other Guado you would most probably recognise she was one, when you looked at her you always felt you needed to ask.

"Oh." Rikku said rather guiltily

"Hi," Luthae replied, "I'm Luthae."

"Look about what I said earlier-."

"I know. It's an Al Bhed thing right?" Luthae looked over at Paine who gave her a quick wink.

"S'pose it runs in the family too huh?"

Paine let out a snort and Rikku turned and pouted at her. It always made Paine laugh when people compared Rikku to her brother.

"Any hoo, pleased to meet ya." Rikku said to Luthae holding out her hand, which again Luthae immediately shook.

Then they all settled down to watch Rikku carry on her game of Sphere Break. No one had seemed to notice that Luthae had mentioned knowing if Rikku had a brother or not.

About 2 hours later the girls had started to play a game of Spin the Bottle, when there was a knock on the door. Yuna went to open it and Tidus, Gippal, Brother and Baralai stood their swords over their shoulders, (or in Baralai's case leaning on his 'staff').

"Hey guys!" Rikku called

"So who won?" Luthae asked mainly addressing Tidus.

"Well..." Tidus began

"We're kind of on a draw." Gippal finished. Baralai just nodded in a way Paine would have done before saying.

"Who's your friend Paine?"

Paine blushed slightly while Gippal and Brother looked in Luthae's direction. They were still not fully aware that she'd been there.

"This is Luthae." Yuna said

"Newbie." Tidus added

The boys then went into the living room and sat on the sofa. The dorms were sectioned off not just to bedroom and bathroom. They also had living rooms for when other people visited. It was always built by the door leading into the dorms for practicality. Rikku's, Yuna's, Paine's and Shelinda's living room had another door opposite the entrance leading to a passage. On the left and right of it were bedrooms for two people with bunk beds, fitted wardrobes, dressing tables and things you would normally find in a bedroom. The bathrooms were of a good size too they were ensuite with a shower and basically all the bathroom facilities. At the end of the passage was a small balcony, which you could stand and look at the view. The balcony wasn't that big but you could probably put a couple of chairs there but the four girls hadn't bothered. All the furniture in all the dorms in the school (apart from 6th form), were the same, apart from obvious accessories like pictures and weapons etc.

"I've got the top bunk." Rikku was explaining to Luthae giving her a guided tour of their dorm. They came out the right bedroom to find Paine standing on the balcony. Luthae went to join her.

"Hey." Paine said quietly

"It's nice isn't it?" Luthae replied looking down on the patch of grass in the middle of the school that was used for recreation.

"Yeah. Don't you ever feel like-"

"You belong in a place?" Luthae finished

"Yeah, cos I feel like I-"

"Belong here. Me too. I mean in Macalania I felt different."

"Hey aren't only Guado supposed to go there?"

"Yeah." Luthae said blushing slightly

"So you're a Guado?"

"Yeah what gave you that idea? The last name." Luthae said sarcastically.

"Sorry," Paine said. There was a pause for a few seconds "You don't look like one, well you do but, you kinda can't help but ask."

"Oh."

"Hey I've nothing against them, but they've always seemed a bit out the way kinda strange. Why haven't you told anyone else you're Guado?"

"I dunno I just don't feel I should."

"You should."

"I'll tell them if they ask or if they need to 'k?"

"Tell them at dinner." Paine said definitely

"Okay." Luthae sighed. Paine nodded.

Suddenly a bell rang that called everyone down to dinner. The gang charged to the lift and all piled in. Leblanc's gang who had been about step into the lift started hurling abuse at them. Leblanc mainly to Paine who had shoved her out the way.

"I'll get you bitch!" she shouted as the doors closed. Everyone laughed.

"So," Tidus said after a while "Who got it?"

"What? The girls all said in unison.

"Who got the truth or dare? You were playing spin the bottle."

"Oh Luty did." Rikku piped up

"Luty?"

"Yeah Luthae."

"So truth or dare?"

"Mmm dare." Luthae decided

"So what is it?" Tidus asked

The other four girls all started deciding.

"I know!" Paine said evilly, "She has to go an tell-"

"A guy she loves them!" Rikku giggled

"A guy we chose." Yuna added

"You got it girls." Paine finished

"Right on." Tidus said.

Then the lift reached the 1st floor and they all stepped out to the dining room. The dining room just had long tables one for each year. The gang went and sat at the Y10 table until someone came over to Paine

"Excuse me miss," the person said, "You are Paine are you not?"

"Yeah," Paine replied, "What about it?"

"Well you are 16 therefore you should be on the Y11 table."

"No," Yuna added, "She's Y10 look." She pointed at the list

"Oh!" the man said in surprise

"I got put down a year." Paine explained

"Okay I'll leave you to your dinner." The man walked off.

"Ignorant bastard." Paine muttered

Then they all tucked into there dinner which had just been served to them. Soon after the boy Luthae and Paine had seen on the first day came into the dining room and sat at the sixth former table. Luthae tried to move across to block Tidus' view, as she knew she'd be bound to spot him and she didn't want anyone getting her to do the dare on him, but Tidus was too fast.

"Look there's Seymour!" Tidus said saying the Seymour in a girly voice.

"Hey I got an idea," Rikku said, "Let get Luty to do her dare on him."

"Oh no." Luthae began her stomach lurched.

Paine had been about to add to Rikku's remark but then she looked at the expression on Luthae's face. She then looked from Seymour to Luthae and then Luthae to Seymour she then made the connection.

"Look guys." She began, but everyone had decided goading Luthae.

Luthae got out of her seat and walked towards the sixth formers table. Come on Luthae she thought it's your brother how hard can it be?

None of them knew except Paine what Luthae thought but isn't it just a harmless bit of fun?

That's the next one done hope this wasn't boring for you these last two chapters are just background really. The action is going to start in the third or fourth chapter (hopefully). I won't give anything away but Luthae get's a bit mad with Seymour in the next chapter
