Summary:

A/N: Hey guys. Tis me, Starling94. I'm here with Chapter Three and as promised, written as fast as I could. Maybe not my best, but I wrote it to get it out for the fans of our story! Yay fans! The reviews were great. I Bet Vampie enjoyed them lots and I especially snorted with laughter at Zarya's. You kill me because your brother is like my sister. I'm sorry I couldn't get this out so fast though. I moved and they screwed up the internet and I couldn't get on for days.

Chapter Three

Too bad Sora lives a couple streets over from me. It would have been great for him to walk with me to the bus stop especially since I was all alone on the bus, and everyone feared they would get into trouble because I, the Great Yuffie, am a magnet for that kind of thing. What can I say? I'm charming. But as I walked to the bus this morning, I did, indeed, feel very much alone for a reason beyond my knowledge. Maybe it's just one of those mornings that woman have because they can, or maybe it just won't be my week. Either way...

It sucks.

I sat on the ground reading over my stupid notes for a test today that I have no idea of how to do. It was for one of my elective classes, and that class would be... One I obviously don't care about. I felt a smile perk up my lips as I slammed the notebook shut because I'm tired of it. Rocks skidded across the pavement as another person approached the bus stop. Peering up quickly to see who it is, I immediately turned my head the other way with a blush soaring up my cheeks. The drool once more...

It's HIM. Him as in the hottie. Remember? REMEMBER?...Okay, okay! I know you know since I remind you of him like every second! Geeze, sorry. And most of all, he was ALONE! No freakin' red-head trailing him. Is she sick today? Or is she getting a ride from her mom? Why doesn't Riku have a car? Is he just too lazy to drive? Pssh probably, but who cares? No Kairi! He pulled out his notebook and leaned against the fence and began to read. It was just me and him. Well, it seemed like it. There was the kid, who always fell asleep in creature teacher's class, sleeping, of course, so he didn't count. Silence was golden it seemed to me, but I hear Riku getting frustrated at his english homework. Out of six classes, I have three with him and lunch, so that totals four out of seven times I get to see him through out the day. Well, the bus I guess counts too.

"Argh! What the hell is a deonumont?" Riku suddenly snapped startling both I and the sleeping kid. When I looked behind at the sleepy kid, he was rolling around in the grass almost in a twitching like motion. Hope he's okay... Eh, I shrugged my shoulders. That's what he gets for getting me detention. I spoke up then.

"It's just another word for the resolution of the story," I reminded him. By now, my eyes are ready buldge out of my head after I said that. Let's see... Move over sleepy kid. I'm about to have a seizure too.

"Uh..Oh.. Thanks," He greeted me. I hear the bus coming from around the corner, but that's when the unexpected happened. He smiled at me. ME. The bus comes to a halt as he put his notebook away. Oh shit. Nosebleed. Nosebleed! Oh crap! Hurridly, I pulled my hood over my head and quickly grabbed a kleenix from my backpack holding it to my nose. I look incredibly stupid right now. I have my black hoodie on with tissue covering my face. My hair's emo/punk looking and I'm no where near friends with that group. What the hell? This morning sucks. My hand covered up the tissue with not too bad of problems, but the bus isn't moving. Agh.. Stupid sleepy kid. I sat in a seat toward the back because that is where I'm condemned too, unfortunately. Well, for them anyway. Fortunate for me. Riku's in the back, but as usual, people began to move into other seats crowding three people each. My seat's the only one with no one else in it. Good thing though! My nose bleed is getting a little crazy. Quickly shoving myself into a seat and planting my head on the cool window, I grumbled to myself furiously about how embarressed I am. Where's Sora when he is needed. Oh how revenge will seek it's way.

My side of the seat suddenly puffed up. That's weird. That has never happened before. My mahagony eyes widened in apparent shock. Someone's sitting with me. NOOO! ... Well that was a little too dramatic, but speaking the current situation, how about the nice word: shit.

"Yuffie?" AHHH! They know who I am! Pulling the tissue away from my nose and wiping excess blood, I turned and looked at who it was. Immediately I turned away as my nose spurted more blood. Good thing he didn't see that, but I had to muffle a sorry to him in the tissue. It was HIM. HIM. I could faint and die right now. Probably will with all this blood I'm losing. Suddenly, I let out a tiny giggle. We were both silent at my weird actions. Okay, I shall be brave on this one. This will be it. I won't bleed. No, no, no. I wiped away the blood from my nose quickly. Slowly, I turned to face him.

"You know my name?" Oh my god. Kill me now. I beg of you! If my crush wasn't as noticable enough! Kiiilll me.

"Uh... yeah? You've been in atleast two of my classes every year since the seventh grade, and speaking you only live across the street and one house over anyway, which I find strange because I've noticed you take the longer way home," he breathed. Seriously, I can not believe what I am hearing. MY god knows who I am. Okay, not to sound obsessive, even though I am... THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

"Oh," I respond lamely. He became silent. Oh crap. I didn't mean to do that. "Any particular reason you're sitting with me?" Stupid, stupid, stupid! I saw him narrow his eyes. Agh.

"Yeah," He finally said with his smooth voice. I knew he felt awkward because he doesn't talk to me in the first place. I didn't feel that though. I felt like I was in heaven. "Can you help me with the english homework?" Ohh so that's why. No wonder. He sucks in english, so he thought he'd use me before class to help him... Well.. Hell ya!

"Okay," I responded. I am SO telling Sora this when I get to school, then I'll sleep in class. Sounded like a plan to me. I looked at him tipping my head for a clue. He was so cute dumbfounded. "Uh... What part?" I finally said.

"The whole thing." Oh... That's nice. Not that this assignment isn't four pages long because it IS.

"Well... It's pretty much literary terms. You just have to be able to identify them," I told him. I felt smart for once. I'm even failing that class and I know more than him.

"That's it? She made it sound far worse than that," Riku murmured.

"I did it in class," Yuffie told him. "It's easy." That when she got on the bus. Ugh. Kairi. I thought she was sick and died in a hole.. Riku looked at the front of the bus and nodded.

"Thanks Yuffie," He told me with a smile, before heading to the back with Kairi. CRAP! The blood is spurting once again and immediately the tissue is attached to my nose. Red in the face, I turned away from Kairi so she can't see my embarressing situation. Surely then would she, of course, rub it in my face and pull my hottie further away from me. Okay, I must sound like an obsessive school girl, but I SWEAR I'm not. I don't sit at that lunch table. Now, the Riku-clan table is just not a place for me because:

1. He's mine. Not theirs.

2. They can go die because they have no chance.

3. IF I sat there, he would obviously know of my obsession.

"No thanks," I began muttering to myself. Right then and there it hit me. Kairi was obviously glaring at me for even going to near Riku. Still, it made turn over and sigh dreamily for he knew my name. And again the seat poofed up. Wow! I'm on a role!

"Sorry," he began, "No more open seats-

"It's okay-"

We both stopped. DAMN IT! This isn't my day! I feel faint suddenly from the loss of blood. Who knew? Two hotties could kill an obsessive.. err.. ordinary girl. Groaning inwardly at the embarressing situation, I suddenly felt my nose clog up for the moment. Thank. the. lord. Wiping my nose quickly, I shove the now overly bloody tissue in my bag and spun around to face the blonde-haired-Riku reminder, who was curiously peering at me.

"Hi...Yuffie?" He inquired in a statement. Damn.. Can't refuse him now.

"You remembered... Good job," I told him lamely.

"Well... I better remember. We're going to be neighbors, are we not? My mom told me about meeting you guys yesterday, and it seems it went well.." My face suddenly turned redder than my nose did when it was bleeding as I recalled my little... "Outburst" yesterday. Where's Sora when I need him?

"Yeah... Yeah it did," I responded lamely turning my gaze to the window.

Everyone knows how embarressing it is when you say the wrong thing, or say something silly in front of the man you like. Heat rises to your face and it becomes fairly noticable like when tissue is stuck under your shoe when you leave the bathroom. Luckily, in my case, no one would notice my tomato red face because I had my hood up with my hair in my face. I hate this really. People are so stereo-typical! They all think I'm emo. I am not EMO. I'm skinny, have choppie hair, and might seem like I'm solemn and emotional, BUT I'm NOT! Well... I must say. I feel a sheepish grin curl on my lips under my red skin. The thought was funny.

"Yuffie!" A voice called.

"SORA THANK GOD," I interrupted him and ran to him. He stopped in mid-sentence, cerulean eyes watching me with curiosity. I could tell he was laughing silently at my pain. How evil that child was. Evil, evil, evil. I almost tackled him when I greeted him though. So much for me hating him, huh?

"Holy cow, Yuffie!" He exclaimed stumbling back. Pausing a moment, he peered at her. "I knew it."

"No you don't!" Yuffie squealed excitedly as she clenched her hands shut.

"Then tell me," he whined slightly. I would have told him that was not manly, but then again... Sora isn't supposed to be manly. Of course, I drew in a large breath breathing in and out, in and out, in and out untill I got enough grip on myself to begin to talk.

"Okay... I feel like a stupid school girl doing this-"

"Tell me!"

"Alright, alright," I cooed to him. Sora was into this as much as I was, and it was quite a funny site to see now that I had him all worked up. "The bad thing happened, the good things happened, and the ugly (cough) Redhead.. happened," I told him. Sora snickered at my little add-in at the last part of my sentence, but it was true in my opinion. Stupid Kairi. "Well, I was sitting at the bus stop and it was all quiet. Riku was farther over to my right leaning against the fence and doing his homework. The sleeping kid was sleeping on the table."

"Of course," he chipped in.

"Shut up! I'm telling the story--er.. I mean.. Sorry." Sora laughed at my giddiness. I felt like a loser and in heaven at the same time. I hated obsession, yet I was obsessed with Riku, so I don't care either way. I grinned towards Sora as we walked to sit at a table on campus. My backpack was slung over my shoulder as I adjusted it to my satisfaction. "Well..." I began my story, Sora amazed at what I could go through, and what made it worse was that he laughed when I mentioned the nosebleed, but I forgave him. He's too sweet to get mad at.

"You're so lucky," Sora told me with a sigh.

"Looks like someone has a cruush," I teased.

"I do not!" Sora replied astounded. I couldn't help but giggle at him, which caused him to huff and turn his gaze elsewhere.

"Okay," I replied rolling my eyes. I ran my fingers across the spread of the blue table messing around boredly. School wasn't going to start for a while, so what else is there to do? Sora pulled out his Ipod and began to let his eyes wander to a group of football players. I laughed silently knowing he would get mad if I said anything to him. The bell rang loudly not too far after and that's when Sora and I began our departure. I don't have creature teacher for another two hours so that was when I'd see Sora as sad as it is. "Bye," I called to him walking through the doors once more alone. I remained quiet as I moved between people, who happened to be blocking my way. My watch beeped on my wrist and I jumped. It was time! This was when "he" walked through the halls because I noticed the crowd slipping to the side of the halls towards the lockers. Now was when the Chariots of Fire came in! It was always the slow motion. Each step he came closer, his steps seemed slower and well... to put it.. sexy.

I could feel the drool slipping down my face, as he walked closer and my legs froze completely. I turned slightly to him with a smile. Was he coming toward ME? But that was when I saw the redhead walk out from behind him. STUPID KAIRI. That's when my legs came unlocked... Well.. Almost. I turned my gaze to my otherside and watch as another figure is approaching me. They both were coming toward me at such a fast pace, both of them waving... and both of them coming to a stop.

"Hey Yuffie," they said in unison. I froze once more. If I could get anymore dumb. It took me a minute like a turkey gobbling at the rain.

"...Hey Riku... Hey Cloud.." The two men locked eyes. Uh oh. I have a feeling. This feeling. Good or bad?... I think... Well... Shit. It seemed like a war right then and there. The lockers in the hallway stopped from shutting, all the students watched curiously and carefully. It was like a cat fight between to guys only non-verbally. Even Kairi stopped glaring from behind Riku for a moment to step back and try and understand what was going on.

"Cloud huh?" Riku spoke after a moment, his eyes piercing into Cloud's body.

"Riku huh?" Cloud spoke at the same time he did.

"Yep," I replied lamely once more. This is the time I wish the warning bell would ring for us to go to class. Two hotties fighting eachother non-verbally equals..

TROUBLE.

"Well," I began, "See ya..." As much as it pained me to leave them both, I had to. They were getting intense there! Before any of them could speak ESPECIALLY Kairi, I ran off to my first class, which happened to be with Riku. English. Also another creature-teacher, but this one wasn't as bad thankfully. Just very similar in a lot of creepy ways. It's like the teacher was her 40th cousin with the same weight problem of breaking every tile she walked on. I shuddered at the thought. Rushing into the classroom with swift speed and passing curious glances from the other students, I cautiously took my seat behind the sleeping kid. Yeah... He's in a lot of my classes and I usually end up sitting next to him. I also GET IN TROUBLE for him sleeping. I guess he got over his seizure. Good for him. Unknowingly, I patted his shoulder accidently for congratulations. Luckily, he didn't wake up. Crap. I tend to do things I think about instead of holding back. I have many issues. I think I need Riddlin or something cause I can't concentrate. I have a disgressive mind as you can tell.

The floor is vibrating once more, and even the sleeping kid woke up. It was that bad. Riku walked into the classroom and sat a couple desks away from me, then giving me a glance quickly like he was irritated...ALRIGHT! I'm on a roll today! More than a one glance. Right now I feel myself reaching into my backpack for my "lucky" pencil and began to tap it on the desk slightly. That's when the door opened once more and someone hurried into the class, before the teacher came inside.

"Cloud?" I felt myself breath and my face pales slightly. Sudden butterflies roamed my stomach. A new feeling... Well, not really. But what got me even more pale was... these feelings are what I experience with Riku. They're not supposed to be for Cloud. The teacher walked in as Cloud took a seat, which happened to be near mine and Riku's. He just sat a couple desks away from me on the otherside. He also noticed me and was slightly annoyed as he came into class. I could feel my legs shaking slightly, but a smile curve at my lips.

That's when she pulled the overhead out with like one million pages of notes. By the end of this, I swear my hand won't be there anymore. I hate this. I wish I could just get out of here and hang with Sora and Stevie...

Damn... I was right as always. I can't even move my hand. I swear.. One of these days! I shall get revenge my friend.

"Yuffie, why are you rubbing your hands together maliciously?"

"Oh?" I glanced down at my hands and realized I was, infact, rubbing my hands together maliciously.

"Revenge?" Sora questioned as stepped up to walk to my pace. I was silent. Sora knew me too well. "I see. How many teachers is it now?" I was once again silent as he continued. "27? So far... 23 have been brought to justice. Oh HOW will you destroy your next target?" He inquired emphazing some parts of his sentence.

"Oh shutup," I replied to him with a smirk, my pace incrediously faster than his.

"Hey, hey! Slow down," he called to me. I was so caught up in thought that I stopped suddenly and whipped around. Because he had been trailing me, he bumped flat into me and we tumbled on the ground. A couple of laughs echoed in the hallway as I rubbed my head. All my stuff was sprawled on the floor as people began to practically drag Sora away, as a crowd of people came. But I scrambled to clean up my papers on the ground when suddenly someone helped me pick up my papers.

"Thanks Sora," I said aloud, unconciously.

"You're welcome babe." Oops...

"Sorry..." I stumbled lamely arching my head up to look at him. Suddenly, my facial expressional fell to a point where I didn't care. "Reno."

"Hello babycakes."

"Yuffie."

"Sorry Babycakes." At this point, my eyes narrowed terribly. It was Reno, one of Riku's friends. Dangerously flirty and would never leave me alone when he ran into me. He was very manipulative. I gathered my things as swiftly as I could but failed miserably. "Oh.. What is this?"

"Give it," I commanded staring at the paper he picked up curiously. I lashed out for it, but in the end only resulted my face planted on the floor.

"Oh? Did Miss.Yuffums fail her english test? 36 percent? AND this is the girl, who tutored my buddy, Riku? Tsk, tsk," he told her disappointed.

"How did you know about that?" I asked desperately.

"He told me when I asked him for the answers to last nights homework. I swear he didn't even know who you were-"

SLAP. I knocked him one. Yah... It felt good.

"OW babycakes!"

"He does TOO know who I am," I huffed, but bit my lip at the outburst. Oh shiz..

"Ohh," he breathed, "You admitting your obsession for once in your life." I narrowed my eyes, plucked the paper from his grip, and wheeled on my heel and headed for second hour. "Oh come on!" He called after me.I didn't stop... Well, that was until he whipped me around and almost backed my into the wall. "Come on, Yuffie," He snickered. Putting his arm against the wall for my only escape, I sighed.

"What do you want?"

"I was going to ask for tutoring," he teased softly.

"Shut up," I snapped, and that's when I turned on high heel and disappeared. I'm pretty sure Reno would have followed, but the bell rang.

"HEY YOU!"

And the Hall moniter began to chase him down. Hehe. That made my day.

A/N: YES! I got it done. I'm sorry it took so long.. Really.. But this is what I could do cause life is hectic! I'm sure it'll start slowing down now that school's finally slowing down. Yeah... Okay guys. Next is Vampie's and she's online right now, but she isn't HERE, so I couldn't get her imput. Oh well. She'll put up whatever next chapter!
