A/n: just one note and that would be thanks to my reviewers: kyritawuv, Yuna But Blonder, innocentenshi, & xTidusLuvrNoellex (might I add she has a wonderful story that I helped her write called 'Stuck' and she needs six more reviews for an update!)

Chapter 2.
Rumors and Break-Ups.
It was finally the end of the school day. Yuna greeted Lulu at her locker again with her bag in her hand,
"I think I'm going to play some baseball tonight. I don't have anything else to do. Want to play?"
"Sorry Yuna, I can't. I have this school project thing to do with a total jerk so"
"Who is it?"
Yuna asked. Lulu turned around to face her, she had all of her books in her hands and looked like she needed some help,
"Wakka DiMaggio..."
"Oh my Yevon, Lulu! You've had the biggest crush on him for ever! So why is it such a bad thing?"
Yuna enquired holding onto her books a bit tighter. There was a pleased smile placed across her thin lips.
"Yeah, it is. He calls me 'Gothic girl' and says I have to do the whole project! He can't even say my name right!"
Lulu wailed in rage. Yuna grabbed a book off of Lulu's jumbo stack of books with a soft giggle,
"He just doesn't know you well enough! Anyways, my step mother will probably make me work at the café tonight anyways."
"You make it sound like it's not such a bad thing."
Lulu added, walking next to her. Yuna shook her head,
"I get used to it. The workers there are always so nice, maybe that's why I don't mind it."
She explained. Lulu nodded continuing to walk,
"Oh great..."
She mumbled as the 'group' headed towards them. Tidus was in the front of the group, Dona hanging all over him like always, Wakka beside them, his arm wrapped around Rikku's back.
"Looks like the rumors weren't true."
Yuna muttered to the sight of Tidus and Dona. Lulu rolled her eyes,
"They won't last."
She started to walk again. Yuna got a small glance of Tidus who looked at her for about a split second then continued to walk.
"You know, I'm starting to think people like Tidus and Dona are meant for each other though. I mean, they're both rich, popular, and they look perfect together..."
She said quietly.
"I mean, everyone thinks they're meant for each other..."
"Well, what do you think they say about you?"
Lulu asked unexpectedly. Yuna stopped walking and looked at her feet,
"They don't even know I'm alive."
"Hey diner girl, can I order a sandwich to go?"
Wakka DiMaggio asked as they walked passed. Lulu elbowed Yuna and started to walk again,
"And you said they didn't even know you're alive."
·······································
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then. Hope you and Wakka have a good time with the project."
Yuna said jokingly. Lulu just waved and got into her jeep taking off. Yuna sighed looking down. Just then, her cell phone rang. She answered it,
"Yuna! I want you to pick me up some Salmon, we're all out!"
It was her step-mother, nonetheless. You see, Yuna used to have a perfect life. She was best friends with her father, Braska. After Yuna's mother died, Braska bought the café which was named 'Braska's'. He then fell in love with Fiona, and married her, which came along with Yuna's two step-sisters who hated her surpassingly. After that, cruel fate hit them. Her father died and she was stuck with her step-mother and step-sisters. Fiona got the house, and everything in it. And to Yuna's dismay, Fiona also got one other thing... Yuna.
So now Yuna spends her days cleaning up after her evil step-mother, who now owns her father's café. The title soon changed to 'Fiona's' and it's where Yuna works 24/7 now.
"Okay."
Yuna said without argument, and hung up. She sighed with annoyance and got into her sophisticated van, driving to the super market.
·······································
Afterwards, she dropped it off to her evil step-mother. Well, she had one thing to do now; work. It seemed all Yuna ever did was work. She was a perfect student in school which required studying, and plus she had to work full-time at the café. Pretty soon she made some friends, the workers there. They were some of her best friends.
Yuna walked in clumsily with her apron on. She smiled and waved at the workers and then started to serve a few tables. She then heard an assemblage of giggling and chuckles. She turned her head slightly and noticed that 'the group' was in the corner of the café, and this included Tidus.
She shook her head in relief that she didn't have to serve them.
"Yuna! I'm bushed! I have tons of people I'm serving... could you please serve the group in the back?"
Shelinda, one of the workers asked. Yuna looked at the group in the back; it was them. She shook her head,
"B-but I cannot..."
She began but then realized Shelinda had disappeared in the groups of workers. She grumbled to herself and skated over to them holding her notepad in her hand,
"Well, well, well! If it isn't diner girl!"
Wakka exclaimed in an awfully cheerful taunting voice. Rikku wrapped an arm around him and glared at Yuna,
"I'm still waiting for the sandwich, by the way."
Wakka added with a teasing grin. The group chuckled, and Dona sat up in her seat,
"Well, what do you have that doesn't have any fat, any carbs, or any sugar?"
She asked boastingly. Yuna bit her lip and smiled,
"Water."
Dona gasped along with everyone else except for Tidus who just chuckled a little.
"Was that supposed to be a joke?"
Dona asked with a snotty attitude in her tone. Tidus elbowed Wakka and whispered,
"Well it was funny."
"Ugh, just get me the salad, diner girl."
Dona mumbled secretly flipping her off under the table. Yuna smiled sweetly at her and skated away.
"Yevon what was with her?"
Dona asked rolling her eyes.
"She's in my Algebra class, totally a weirdo, ya? She hangs out with that gothic chick..."
Wakka responded as-a-matter-of-factly. Dona folded her arms,
"She has no right to talk as if she is better then us, did you hear the way she talked to me? Ugh!"
Tidus turned to face Dona,
"Oh yeah, speaking of talking, I gotta talk to you about... us."
He announced. Dona looked at him with a stupid look on her face,
"Well, spit it out!"
"Yeah well I was thinking more of alone...?"
Tidus asked returning the look. Dona rolled her eyes,
"C'mon Tidus, how long have we known each other? You know that anything you can say in front of me, you can say in front of my peeps!"
Tidus shrugged,
"Alright, then I wanna break up with you."
Dona gasped and Wakka made a few surprised 'ooh' sounds. Dona's clan also looked at Tidus in amazement,
"Ugh, what are you saying?"
Dona asked her jaw dropped.
"You heard me... we're over."
Tidus repeated with a simple tone in his voice. Dona shook her head and put her hands up as if saying 'shut up',
"Yevon, Tidus, let's just forget about your stupid behavior. In fact, let's forget about your stupidity and I'll see you at the dance on Friday night, ok?"
She said in a fake sweetness, then got up, her clan following her.
"Damn, you got some nerve, ya?"
Wakka said with a chuckle,
"You like someone else?"
He asked. A small smile was formed across Tidus' face,
"Actually I do."
"Who is it?"
Wakka asked curiously. Tidus shrugged,
"Dunno, beats me."
Wakka gave him a 'are you crazy' look then got up,
"You are one crazy dude, ya?"
He said with a laugh, and walked towards the door, trying to catch up with Rikku. Tidus got up getting ready to go but then he saw Yuna skating towards him with the salad in her hands,
"Oh, yeah, they're all gone... sorry 'bout that… but hold on,"
Tidus said digging in his pockets,
"No its ok, I got it."
Yuna said with a soft smile. Tidus just looked into her eyes for one second then headed towards the door, catching up to the guys.
·······································
I've been working forever! Yuna thought with a tired sigh. She glanced up at the clock: it was time for her shift to end. She took off her somewhat embarrassing skates and took off her apron, heading towards the door. She couldn't keep her mind off of Tidus' eyes though; they were so amazing...
She was dazing off. She smacked herself in the forehead and got into her car, starting it up. Pretty soon she came across her step-mother's house. She sighed walking in,
"Yuna! Pick this mess up, right this moment!"
Her step-mother ordered. Yuna grumbled to herself and started to clean the mess up. Afterwards, she headed upstairs and grabbed a seat and pulled it up towards her computer. She signed into her instant messenger and noticed blitzer4life was on. She smiled as he opened her up,
blitzer4life says: I have been thinking about u all day long I rly wnt 2 c u
Yuna shook her head and typed in,
princessgrl192 says: ive been thinking about u 2
blitzer4life says: so like when can I c u
princessgrl192 says: soon
After hours of chatting Yuna look up at her clock and noted that it said '2:00 AM' she gasped to herself and then started to type something,
princessgrl192 says: weve been at this 4 hours like last nite.
·······································
Tidus sighed and rubbed his forehead tiredly then typed,
blitzer4life says: yea I cant go 2 bed 2 nite without knowing that well meet can u meet me at the skool dance on Friday
·······································
Yuna hesitated a little bit. She had to go,
princessgrl192 says: ok then were shall I find u
blitzer4life says: meet me midnight in the middle of the dance floor
princessgrl192 says: ok well I should probably get 2 bed now lol bye
blitzer4life says: goodnight
