Chapter 2- Blue Eyes
It has been about a month since their first faithful encounter.
Ever since then Yuna felt as if her life was a broken record, playing the same old song over and over again. Everyday was like any other days. Quietly she goes through the school days silently avoiding any conflict as much as possible. Every once in a while she would run into Dona and her friends, but she was use to all of their devious comments. Sometimes Yuna would even smile back; to confuse them, other then that, all of the days were truly identical.
But today was going to be different, she could sense it. This time the record would continue on to a different track. Yuna let out a small sighed as she laid her head down on the old timber desk with arms stretch out and her hands hanging off the edge. She sat in the very back seat on the last row next to the warped window. Isolated from the rest of the class. Yuna watched as the small red second hand sluggishly move around the clock for a full minute, which seemed like forever and it was only fifth period. Her mind freely zoned out as the history teacher persisted on with the day's lecture.
'Tidus…' Yuna thought helplessly. 'He doesn't even know my name I choked and forgot to tell him. Maybe he had forgotten me…if I ever get a chance to see him again I'll be sure to tell him my name. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to meet him again… I mean we do go to the same school right? Then where is he now? Hmm…maybe he moved,' Yuna thought, taping her pencil frustratingly. 'I just want to see him one more time…and hear him say his name once more in his soothing voice-'
"Ahem!"
Yuna immediately dropped her pencil on the desk and covered it with her hands. Mr. Marliani raised a brow angrily at her while the whole class turned around to the back of the class to glare at her. Yuna darted her eyes around trying to avoid all of the angry eyes. She felt her face flushed as she looks down onto her book where she could not see their stare anymore, but she knew they were still looking.
"Thank you," Mr. Marliani said coldly.
"Uh, she's so interruptive," Yuna heard one of her classmate whispered over to their friend.
"I know. She was tapping that pencil like crazy."
The teacher hushed as he carried on with his lecture. Yuna uncovered her pencil and began taking notes again. Soon after a couple minute Yuna became bored once more. All of this U.S history was dreadfully dull. There's nothing about the actual culture like the Japanese history. It's all about war here and there and claiming lands. It was just so boring, but then again it was her favorite class. None of the "rich snobs" or Dona's little bitch crew were in there to make her life a living hell. Shortly Yuna found herself practicing her Japanese calligraphy on the side of her note book. It looked tolerable since it was done with a pencil and not a brush.
The door creaked open and at that moment the air around Yuna suddenly changed. A new song was about to begin. She glanced up and stared at the familiar stranger. 'It's him.' Yuna eyes widen. The teacher halted as he turned towards the door.
"Can I help you?" Mr. Marliani asked as he took his glasses off.
"The name is Tidus, you might have heard of me before," he replied as he flashed a cocky grin. A small smirk appeared on Yuna's face as she watched from the back of the room.
"Your purpose for interrupting my class is..?"
"I'm transferring into your class Sir," he responded holding out his transcript.
"I see, Mr. Avalon," Mr. Marliani enlighten as he looked over the transcript. You may take a seat at any of the empty desks."
'Tidus Avalon….I like it' Yuna thought smiling.
"All right," Tidus looked across the classroom for an empty seat. A few girls waved over for him to sit by them, but he walked right passed them. Yuna looked on amazingly, not noticing her pencil, slowly rolling off the desk. It made a faint thud on the floor. Tidus looked down at the fallen pencil and back up to the owner. Their eyes finally met again. Tidus let out a small delighted smile as he paced over. Yuna felt her heart beat rose at the sight of Tidus walking towards her.
"Excuse me, you dropped this," he placed the pencil on Yuna's desk as he sat down next to her. Yuna lowered her head with her hands together, silently saying 'Thank you.'
"Class I'm going to end my lecture. I can't stand anymore interruptions. So you're on your own now. Write down the first ten Amendments in black ink from your text book and memorize them for tomorrow's quiz. It's not a group assignment, therefore I don't want to hear a single voice until the end of class," Mr. Marliani made known.
The class grew quiet and everyone started to copy the amendments onto their notes. There was still about 25 more minutes of class left. It took Yuna a while to copy down the first set of Amendments. It was kind of hard for her to take all of this in. She felt so distracted with him so close to her and yet so far from her grasp. She felt butterflies fluttered in her stomach and became uneasy with the whole situation of him sitting next to her. Surprisingly Yuna felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Can you share your book with me?" Tidus whispered.
Yuna sat very still not knowing how to respond back without stuttering. She wanted to say 'I would love to,' but she only manage to nod yes. Yuna kept quiet as she watched him moved his desk closer to hers. A couple of kids turned around and looked at them strangely, but Tidus ignored them.
"You don't seem to remember me," he waited for her to respond. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. "I don't blame you…it's been a while-"
"I remember," Yuna quietly manage to interrupt. "Your Tidus, I ran into you a few weeks ago after first lunch in the main hall." He looked on with amazement. It was the first time he heard her actually spoke in English. He thought she didn't understand him at all, since when they first meet she had only spoke a few words in Japanese. Yuna smiled worriedly, "I'm sorry for cutting you off like that."
"It's okay," he returned the smile.
"Shhhhhh!" Mr. Marliani hushed from crossed the room.
"Is that your name?" he lowered his voice as he pointed to the calligraphy she had drawn earlier. That secretly read: Blue Eyes…his eyes…
"No that's not it," Yuna shook her head no. "My name is-"
"Ahem!" Tidus and Yuna's eyes met a pair of brown ones. "Mr. Avalon and Ms. Lesca, I assume you two had finished your work and know the Amendments very well. Can one of you tell me the Fifth Amendment then?" the teacher questioned irately.
"Uh...It's the right of silence sir," Tidus shot backed the correct answer with a brash smile.
"Very good, Mr. Avalon. Now can you and Ms. Lesca abide by it?" Mr. Marliani replied back with the last words. They both nodded as the rest of the class giggled. "Quiet down and continue with your work." Tidus looked at Mr. Marliani annoyed as he ran his fingers through his sandy locks. Tidus returned his eyes back to her. She let out a small beam as she wrote her name onto a page in her note book. He smiled as he penciled back: Yuna. That's a beautiful name…I like it.
The two wrote back and forth to each other quietly for the remaining of the class. As time passed Yuna found that they had scooted in so close that their shoulder were touching. His skin felt so soft and warm against her. She never had been this up close to a boy before, so close that she can smell his true natural scent. She liked it. There was only a few minutes of class left. She didn't want this song to ever end. It was just too wonderful. Slowly Yuna cherished it to the last seconds. She wanted stay next to him like this forever, but she knew that it was impossible.

Yuna walked out of the library with a load of books in her side bag and a couple in her arms. She stopped spending her time in the library after the Dona incident. Yuna would carry books to and fro from there to home. She started to paced home quickly, hoping to finish a couple of chapters before Aunt Lulu and Uncle Wakka comes home. It was her first day off in a while, and she expected to spend it pleasantly without any interruptions.
She could hear the basketball team practicing their plays as the cheerleaders practiced their cheers. Yuna watched on with amazement as they tossed a couple of girls into the air. It looked fun but she knew she cannot act all happy and ditsy like they do and she didn't want to anyways, but she admired their routine. And it would be an extremely small chance she would even be accepted into their squad especially in this school.
Yuna snapped back to reality and walked quickly across the basketball courts, trying to avoid any eye contact with every players and cheerleaders. She was an easy target for them to make fun of. Yuna felt like a tiny mouse trying to out run a pride of hungry lions. Her bi-color eyes were down looking at her feet as she goes. Unexpectedly a ball rolled to her foot. She paused as she heard footsteps jogging up behind her. 'Oh no!' She closed her eyes and afraid to open them again.
"Hey! A little help please?" It was Tidus's voice.
She opened her eyes slowly with relief and quickly spotted Tidus. Yuna couldn't but admire his well built body. He looked so much better out in the sun. His scuffled blonde hair seemed to give out a slight glow contrast with his nicely tanned tone. 'Smart, handsome, athletic, and sweet…Can he be anymore perfect?' Yuna thought dreamingly.
He hunched over, breathing in deeply. "Oh, it's you," he smiled as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead with his shirt. Dona watched enviously afar.
"I didn't know you played," she squatted down and picked up the ball with her freed hand.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me," he replied, looking mischievously, Yuna blushed a bit.
"I don't remember you being on the team last year."
"That's because I didn't go here last year," he made another mysterious face. "I just moved down here over the summer. I didn't want to go here but my father made me." He made an annoyed look.
"I'm glad he made you," Yuna replied underneath her breath, wanting him to hear her and at the same time she wished he didn't, but he did hear it and smiled.
"Hey! Tidus come on! Where's the ball?" called one of his teammates.
"I guess I got to go back before Coach Auron starts to bitch." He laughed. "I'll see you tomorrow in fifth period."
"Tomorrow." she handed him the ball. She watched a few second as he dribbled the ball back to the far court. She continued home but now this time with joy written all over her face.
"Who was that you talking to?" Seymour glared as he grabbed the ball from Tidus.
"It was no one." Tidus responded shallowly as he watched the blue head made a lay-up.
"It was that one two-colored eye freak…wasn't it?" Seymore looked back at Yuna's tiny figure in the distance. Tidus said nothing. "Well if you want to stay on the team you better stay away from her or any of them, or else." Seymore threaten.
"I wasn't talking to her…you'll never catch me talking to a Jap." Tidus responded coldly. He stole the ball back and went for a shot. He missed the basket completely for the first time.
