Disclaimer: I wrote this story on another site with the pen name Cecilia but with different characters. I changed the characters of the real story to the ones of the Final Fantasy so that fans of Final Fantasy can read and enjoy it as much as those on the other site. Also, even though I own FFX, I barely know anything about the cities and stuff like that, so don't kill me for it.

A few weeks later…

Third period – P.E.

Everybody was lined up, girls in one line and the boys in another. They were in their swimming clothes. The coach was choosing their partners for swimming, just in case there were people who couldn't swim well and won't admit it to the whole class. "Joann, you're number one," the coach said.

"Hey, Yuna," somebody whispered to her left. Yuna turned to face that person.

"It's Yuna, right?" the girl asked.

"Yeah. Um, what's your name?" Yuna asked, politely.

"Cindy," she whispered. "I've heard that you're in all of Tidus' class. Is that true?"

"Yeah."

"You are so lucky," Cindy said. "All the girls are squealing for him."

"Why? He is so annoying."

"Just look at him," Cindy gestured. "He so works out and will you look at that face? He looks so awesome."

"Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving." Yuna said, crossing her arms. She looked at him. "Very deceiving."

"Yuna, number 12," they coach called.

-------------------

"Hey. You're Tidus, right?" a boy whispered to him. Tidus turned to face the voice.

"I'm Josh. You know that girl over there?" he pointed to Yuna.

"Yeah. What about her?" Tidus asked.

"You're in all of her classes, right?"

"Uh, what is that supposed to do with anything?"

" 'cause she's the bomb, man. All the guys in school are, like,chasin' after her and wantin' to ask her out, man. Even the ninth graders."

"Well, I'm not interested," Tidus said, folding his arms.

"Dude, you got some serious issues," Josh said.

"Tidus, number 12," the coach hollered.

"Awwwwww," the girls and boys whined.

"I knew it," Tidus whispered to himself.

After the coach paired everyone up…

"Oh, Yuna," the coach came up to Yuna and said. "Can you go grab me some towels? They're in the weight room."

"Sure thing, coach," she called as she ran to the weight room far away, boys whistling at her.

The coach turned to face the class and blew his whistle.

"Okay, everyone. If you know how to swim and your partner doesn't, just go help them get situated. Tidus, wait until Yuna gets back, okay?'

" 'kay." Tidus sat next to the pool.

"Hey, there, Tidus," Cindy cooed. She swam up to him, still half submerged.

"Hey," he waved.

"There you are," Josh said to Cindy. You're my partner. Come back here." Josh took Cindy's hand and tried to pull her away from Tidus. Immediately, Cindy grabbed Tidus' hand.

"Hey, Cindy!" Tidus shouted, trying to struggle from her. "What do you think you are doing!"

"I want to be your partner, Tidus!"

Now it looks like a "Tug of War" except Josh is pulling Cindy, Cindy is pulling Tidus and Tidus is trying to pull away from Cindy.

Another class behind Tidus was playing Dodge ball. As they were playing, one of them with the ball shouted to a person that was right behind Tidus.

"Hey, Sean! I'm going to get you out!"

"Let's see you try!"

With that, the boy with the ball threw with all his strength. The ball went whizzing through the air. Just barely did Sean dodge it and guess what? The ball zoomed right pass Sean and knocked Tidus right on the noggin.

SPLASH! Tidus fell face flat into the water, unconscious.

"Aaahhhhhhhhh!" Cindy screamed and swam off.

Everybody just stared, not knowing what to do.

In the distance, while Yuna was running back with the towels, she saw somebody fall into the water and still hadn't swum up. Everybody was just staring at the water. When she came up to the pool, she shouted to the whole class, "Why isn't anybody doing anything! Somebody is drowning!"

"Hold on there, son! I'm coming!" the coach shouted.

"Hold this," Yuna said, frustrated that nobody had responded to her, handing the coach the towels, and jumping in to the water without thinking.

'If I was a sinking person, where would I be?' she asked herself. Then she spotted a human figure that was slowly sinking down.

'There,' she said to herself again and swam down to the person as quickly as possible. She grabbed the boy by the arm and swam up without taking a good look at who he was.

'Gosh, this guy is heavy,' she thought as she made herself to the surface.

Still having the somewhat heavy person by the arm, Yuna swam to the closest side of the pool and pushed the person up and out of the water. Tidus was still unconscious, his hair all over his face.

"Somebody give him CPR!" Yuna shouted.

Since the extra large coach was on the other side of the pool and everybody around was just standing there, shocked, Yuna got out of the water and took some action.

Still not knowing who the person she got out of the pool was, she began pushing on his chest.

'Come on,' Yuna thought as she looked at him. 'Don't die on me now. Hmmm, he's kinda cute.'

She pressed harder. 'C'mon.'

Now she was pounding on his chest. 'Gosh, man. You've been working out too much.'

Then she stopped. 'Okay. That's it. You leave me with no choice. I'm going in.'

She turned to everybody else. "Don't look," she told them.

They turned away, but when she turned back to Tidus, they, of course, turned back and looked. Yuna leaned so that her face was right above his. Automatically, she closed her eyes and slowly moved forward. The coach blew his whistle, but nobody moved. Everybody just stared.

Just then, Tidus coughed out water and opened his eyes.

"What do you think you're doing?' he asked Yuna.

'I've heard that annoying voice before,' Yuna thought. 'Tidus!' She finally opened her eyes.

"Aaaaaaack!" she said and jumped off of him. "It was you!"

"You didn't recognize me?" he asked, forcing his head up.

"You! You!" she said angrily, turning red. "You!

"Augh, what happened?" Tidus moaned, rubbing his sore head.

"Okay, everybody. Go get dress now," the coach said as he finally came and kneel down to help Tidus. Everybody walked off. All of them mumbled and whispered, except Yuna.

'I can't believe I almost kissed HIM!'

Okay, everybody. That's chapter 18. The story's almost done! Just hold on! Please tell me what you like or don't like in thereview section!
