Story Summary: She's known everywhere! There is no privacy in her life, wherever she goes…Everyone follows. This is the story of Yuna's cursed life…The life of a teenage singing sensation who is desperately trying to find her sense of belonging.

Chapter Summary: Teen singing sensation Yuna is moving from her home that was once in Bevelle to Zanarkand. When Zanarkand High meets the newest celebrity, the rivalry is on!

Chapter One:

She's known everywhere. Every way she turns there's a camera pressed towards her while an anxious journalist waits to get the latest scoop on her life. Her private and personal life! Questions are barreled at her without remorse, no matter how insulting and irritating they may be. It was time to lay low for a while and breathe her own air. Zanarkand was this popular teen's next stop. She doubted she would be known there for there were many celebrities to make the commotion of her presence die down. Or at least, she hoped so. Sighing, Yuna packed the last of her clothes into some extra suitcases. Picking them up, she slowly made her way to the door where she knew her father would be waiting for her to take her to the airport. In Zanarkand, there was a never-ending frenzy of Blitzball fans and it seemed that Lady Luck was on her side for it was Blitzball Season. The Season where Blitzball Fans practically jumped the players of famous teams, looking for autographs or a simple picture. Yeah, it would be the perfect time for Yuna to slip away unnoticed!

You may ask what makes Yuna so popular? Her voice. Yes, Yuna was a famous singer and had all the qualities that today's listeners were looking for. She was smart, down-right gorgeous and could move like no one could believe. Yuna found herself often liking the dancing of her singing career more than the actual singing sometimes. She heaved her bags up and sauntered down the long flight of spiraling stairs. Gosh these stairs were killers! She smiled her thanks at one of her father's maids as she helped Yuna carry her bags down and sighed in relief as she finally touched flat, solid ground. As much as her father was reluctant to let her leave to a city as wild as Zanarkand, he also believed there was way too much stress burdening his daughter and thought it was best for her to lay back and relax for a while. As Braska looked at his lovely daughter once more, he knew deep in his heart that many events to come would change her life forever. He swiftly enveloped her in a fatherly hug.

" I'll be alright daddy." Yuna said as she pried herself out of her father's arms. She kissed his cheek and headed out the door, out the door to a new life.

It had taken a little over five hours to officially land in Zanarkand. Yuna couldn't help but feel a tad excited as she exited the airship and into the loading docks. Her luggage was soon brought to her and now all that was left to do was wait. Her cousin, Rikku would be coming soon so Yuna didn't have to worry about taking a stuffy cab. Sighing, she shifted her suitcases into a more comfortable position before she sucked in a sharp breath at hearing an excited squeal pierce over the buzzing noises of other people's voices. As Yuna turned, she could see a petite blonde girl rushing over to her with a wide grin set on her face. Yuna grinned too as Rikku launched herself at her cousin into a bear hug.

" Oh Yunie, I missed you soooooooo much! " Rikku exclaimed, obviously delighted by Yuna's decision to live in Zanarkand for the time being. " It must've been sooooo fun going on tour with your new album and everything life that!"

Yuna gave her cousin a warning look and clamped her hand over Rikku's mouth but it was too late. Everyone had turned their eyes upon Yuna and their jaws dropped. She could hear murmurs of sudden recognition by her fans, and groaned to herself as a multitude of people began forming a crowd around them. Yuna gave Rikku a half-hearted glare before signing the papers that were thrust at her.

" Oopsie…Sorry Yunie!" Rikku cringed as the crowd got larger and more demanding. Well, so much for Yuna's laying low charade! The two finally pushed their way through the almost ravenous crowd and hurriedly got into Rikku's car. She put the key into the ignition and they sped off into the distance. After a while, Rikku finally spoke.

" My neighbor is the dead sexy Tidus from the Zanarkand Abes Blitzball team…Can you believe he actually goes to our school too?" Rikku asked, trying her best to build a conversation. Even though Rikku was attracted to Tidus, she had someone else in mind. Yuna smirked slightly, her cherry-pink lips curled ever-so-slightly. Okay, this was good…She wasn't going to be the only person getting awed and ogled at! " But can you imagine what they'll all say once you walk into school with me! Oh my gosh, they'll go nuts and I'll be the most popular girl in the whole school!"

" I'm so glad my reputation will help you out Rikku." Yuna chuckled as she watched the tall neon lights flash by her in a whiz. It was true what they said about Zanarkand, I mean…how the city never sleeps that is. Everyone seemed to be up and moving about without any signs of visible fatigue etched on their features. Yuna sighed as the car ride ended and they pulled into Rikku's driveway. Reluctantly, Yuna opened the door and went to retrieve her suitcases from the trunk. Once inside, Rikku showed her, her room and then left Yuna to do her unpacking. Rikku knew it was best not to be extremely irritating on the first day of Yuna's arrival, but maybe tomorrow…who knows?

When Yuna woke the next morning, the sun was just peeking up over the hills. Rikku had been blessed with a nice, spacious house to Yuna didn't find herself uncomfortable at all. She lay there for a moment, her covers wound tightly around her body so that no heat would escape before she slowly sat up and rubbed the sleep from her bi-colored eyes. She could smell the delicious scent of breakfast being made downstairs and silently crept out of bed to be greeted by a giddy and bouncing Rikku. Yuna blinked as Rikku busied herself by picking out her clothes for the day, but couldn't help but smile at her cousin's enthusiasm. Come to think of it, this would be her first day attending Zanarkand High. She suddenly felt butterflies flutter in her stomach and was surprised. Usually Yuna never got worried about foolish things like this.

" Hurry up and get changed into the clothes I picked for you Yunie! You'll make all heads turn you way!" Rikku giggled as she then scampered out of her room. Yuna gazed down at the colorful and exotic choice of clothing Rikku had picked out for her. ' But I don't want to make all heads turn towards me' Yuna thought grimly. Though, not wanting to make her cousin upset, she quickly changed into the outfit Rikku demanded she wear. Slowly making her way to the bathroom, Yuna washed her face, brushed her teeth...etc then looked at herself in the mirror. She looked absolutely stunning. Her straight mouse-brown hair was styled so that it flipped outward slightly, her cherry-pink lips were slightly painted with a shiny gloss. The little bit of mascara she applied to her lashes made her bi-colored eyes stand out for all to admire. Yuna thought her clothing was a little to revealing but if that's how Zanarkand dressed then she was all fine and dandy with that!

Hurrying downstairs, she heard Rikku's familiar shriek of delight. She grinned as her cousin came over to her and inspected the outfit Yuna wore carefully. It consisted of snug black Capri-pants and Rikku had given her a peculiar wavy wrap-like thing in the color of a light pink. The shirt revealed Yuna's long-forgotten four-pack stomach and cut down into a V-neck. It had the Zanarkand Abe's symbol on the chest of the shirt, and a frilly pink lace hemmed it from the bottom.

" You look delicious Yunie!" Rikku said as she ushered her out the door." Fitting in will be a breeze for you!"

The ride to Zanarkand High was one that seemed like forever to Yuna, but it made her arrival much more pleasant. She peered out at her surrounding's, instantly pin-pointing each of the stereo-types even from a distance. Over to the right you had your unpopular students, known as the "Nerds", and to the left by a beautiful marble fountain you had your "Popular" people who were laughing and having themselves a great time. Somewhere in the middle were the "Regulars", the students who came in contact with both the Popular students and Nerdy students but weren't frowned upon by doing so. Rikku waved down a few of her friends before grabbing Yuna's arm to lead her over to a table by the marble fountain. She received a few astonished looks, it seemed like Rikku couldn't contain her mouth and had accidentally let it slip that The Yuna was attending Zanarkand High. Not that anyone had actually believed her until now.

" Meet my cousin, Yuna…Yunie…meet my friends." Rikku said proudly. Yuna received a nudge from Rikku as her gaze lingered on an incredibly good-looking blonde boy with charming boyish features. She felt a blush heat her face as ocean-blue eyes locked momentarily with hers before she turned her attention back to making introductions.

" Are you for real, I mean…Are you really Yuna?" A girl asked, one who Rikku had indentified as Lulu. Yuna couldn't believe the color of Lulu's eyes, but she supposed hers were quite questionable as well. Yuna smiled and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear absent-mindedly before replying.

" Well I should certainly hope I'm the real Yuna." She replied with a light-hearted chuckle.

Rikku suddenly spoke up and pushed her way back to Yuna's side. " I haven't finished introducing Yunie to everyone yet!" Then she continued." –and that's Gippal, and the blonde with the blue eyes is none other than the Zanarkand Abes', Tidus!" Rikku finished and then took a couple deep breaths.

" Pleased to meet you…" Yuna said while offering a small smile. Tidus winked and Gippal set straight to trying to "Woo" her.

" Yep, I could get used to a celebrity like yourself being around." He stated casually. Yuna raised her eyebrow, before taking a step back from the all to obvious Gippal.

" Let's not." Yuna said, making it very clear she had no intentions of dating Gippal whatsoever. The group chuckled and were obviously taking well to Yuna when a girl was dark brown hair and tanned skin showed up, her poise was defiant and snobbish. Yuna knew right away that they wouldn't hit it off like she had with the others yet she politely introduced herself.

" Hi, I'm Yuna and you are?" She questioned. The girl looked at her incredulously before flipping her long thick brown locks over her shoulder.

" I know who you are, what do you think I am, stupid?" She demanded. The only thoughts that crossed Yuna's mind about her was that she was a selfish, rude, spoiled-brat but she kept her temper and words in check. Yuna forced a smile, a shook her head.

" I didn't say you were stupid…I just introduced myself and now I'm asking your name." Yuna replied calmly. The group gave her admirable looks for being able to stay cooled through the girl's snobby behavior.

" It's Dona, and don't you forget it." She retorted and then seated herself very close to Tidus. Were they together? Jugding by Tidus' slightly annoyed expression, Yuna took it upon herself to assume they weren't. But why was she relieved that he wasn't tied to anyone?

" I'm sure I won't." Yuna replied just as calmly before the bell rang loudly, causing her to jump slightly. Rikku ushered her inside the school and hurried her toward her first class. Rikku shared Science classes with her, along with Gippal and Dona. Math she delighted to see that at least Tidus shared that class with her. Her English class was shared with Lulu and Tidus again, and her Co-ed Physical Education was shared with Rikku, Dona, Wakka, Tidus, Gippal and Lulu. Her luck was getting better wasn't it? Maybe Zanarkand wouldn't be such a hard place to live in after all. She could only wait and see!
