Sora felt like he'd made an idiot of himself twenty times in a row. That's because I did. He reminded himself as he walked with his group of 'friends' to the gym class. He walked in to see Yuna and her two friends already there- as usual. Yuna and Paine always liked to avoid the crowd if they could, Sora had realized this the very first week of school. They'd been really nice to him then, but since he'd known Riku and Kairi longer he stuck with them. Now he really wished he'd taken up their offer instead of trudging around like Riku's lackey. What that Amanda girl had said to him really sunk in, but the question was; Was he really brave enough to stand up to Riku and tell him to fuck off? Hell no! Sora thought to himself, He'd be lucky to stand up to a fly.

After everyone had changed into their gym clothes, Jecht had them all stand in line shoulder to shoulder for some stupid physical fitness training thing. As Jecht barked orders at everyone, Sora felt pity for Tidus for having HIM as a father. He always smelt like beer and some DISGUSTING after shave that he really didn't need on due to the fact he never shaved."

"LISTEN UP!" Jecht shouted, "T'day is Physical Fitness Trainin' Day! As ya'll know, PHYSICAL FITNESS IS THE KEY TO A GOOD ATHLETE… blah… blah…blah…" Was all Sora heard after that. He was tired, and exhausted. All he wanted to do was go home. But knowing Riku, he'd have him out at 1:30 PM tonight, just like the last 4 nights before.

"SORA!" He heard Jecht shout at him. He looked around to see that he was standing alone, while the class had been divided up and seated at opposite ends of the gym.

"Wha-?" He said, totally lost.

"Since you seem to be so with it today, you'll be first up." Jecht said, "Against…" He scanned the area on the left side, where Sora noticed Yuna, Paine and Amanda were sitting.

"Wait, what?" Sora asked, "What's happening?"

"This is a GOOD EXAMPLE of WHY you should pay attention to yer teachers!" Jecht shouted to the rest of the class, "So you don't end up like this fool! Now… RAI!" He shouted to a big buffed out guy with tan skin and blackish hair. Sora recognized him as one of the people who really didn't like him that much, just because he was Riku's friend. Sora watched Raijin's eyes practically explode as the excitement pounded in him. Jecht then pushed Sora onto a mat as Rai started his way down. Sora looked at Jecht one more time and asked, "What the heck are we doing?"

"It's a PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING COURSE!" Jecht shouted at him, "PHYSICAL AS IN FIGHTING!" Sora's jaw dropped as he realized he had to fight Rai, "FITNESS AS IN WELL… FITNESS. AND TRAINING AS IN PRACTICE!"

"Shit!" He cursed under his breath as he scrambled up to his feet, ready to defend himself. This is not fair. He thought to himself.

English had to be the most boring subject. With the most boring teacher. His name was Setzer, and he was the most annoying person Mari had ever meant. She was sleeping on her books when someone shook her awake.

"Wha-?" She asked, and saw Bryan trying to get her awake before Setzer noticed. Mari shot up pretending to be fascinated by the whole lesson, but almost fell asleep again. Behind her she heard the giggles of Rikku and Yuffie, which made her grin. Big mistake.

'Miss… Mari- I presume…" Setzer said, suddenly at her side.

"Y-yes sir?" She replied, looking up innocently.

"I'd like to know what you find so amusing about my class." He said.

'Well… I… uh…" Mari stammered, lost for words.

"I'll let you off. Just because your new." Setzer said, "But as for YOU TWO!" He pointed at Yuffie and Rikku, "You both have an after school detention with me."

"We can't sir!" Rikku squeaked, "We already have a meeting with the Principal."

"Oh really?" Setzer asked, suspiciously, "Well, how about I go and see, eh?" Setzer watched Rikku and Yuffie carefully. Yuffie shrugged, "Go ahead sir."

Setzer then whipped around on his heel, and not even thinking about the rest of the class, stormed out to see the Principal. After he slammed the door, and they were certain he was out of hearing range, the class burst out into a loud chatter.

"Is he always like that?" Mari asked Rikku and Yuffie after turning around. Yuffie nodded.

"He's an ass hole." Bryan added suddenly, startling Mari.

"Sorry." He said, "Didn't mean to scare you."

"You didn't scare me!" Mari said with a funny tone of voice, "Me? No! No way! Nope! I'm not scared!"

"Okay…" Bryan said, looking at her funny. He then turned face forward to talk to Gippal.

"What an IDIOT!" Mari whispered to her two companions, "I totally screwed up that one."

"Yeah, you did!" Yuffie said. Mari glared at her playfully.

"Your just like my friend Amanda." Mari commented.

"Hmm…. Maybe I should meet this Amanda." Yuffie said, grinning.

"You will." Mari said, "You both will."

"Is she an Al Bhed hater?" Rikku whispered.

"She couldn't tell you what an Al Bhed was!" Mari replied, "Although she does look a little like you…"

"Really?" Rikku asked, "Blond hair, green eyes?"

"Yupp," Mari replied, "Only her eyes changed from green to gray, and there's something different from your and hers."

"The pupil?" Rikku asked. Mari looked at her curiously and say Rikku's pupil wasn't in fact a PUPIL, but a black swirl.

"I never noticed." Mari said, "It's so cool!"

"Most people don't think that…" Rikku said regretfully.

"Hey! You hear about the two new Professors?" Yuffie asked, trying to change the subject, "I hear their really special!"

"Okay…" Mari said, This seems interesting.

"Oh!" Yuna gasped as she watched the 'fight' progress. Amanda was dumbstruck.

"That had to hurt." Paine said almost mournfully as she watched Rai sock Sora in the jaw.

"What a bitch." Amanda muttered intentionally to herself, but aloud as she watched Kairi's expression.

"Huh?" Paine asked, "Isn't Rai a boy?"

"Paine." Yuna said, "I don't think she's talking about them…" Yuna bent her head towards the direction Amanda was looking at. Paine looked up and understood immediately. Kairi looked like she enjoyed watching her 'friend' Sora get the shit beat out of him. Paine looked at Amanda, wondering why she would care.

"Rai! That's enough!" Jecht shouted after five more minutes. Rai backed off after taking one last swing at Sora, which send him flying onto the ground.

"Very good Rai!" Jecht said, "A true athelete."

"Thanks sir." Rai said, and with one last hateful glare at Sora, turned around to find his seat. Sora pushed himself up, and limp ed over to his seat.

"Next up?" Jecht asked. No one responded.

"C'mon!" Jecht shouted, "Don't make me call names!"

"I'll go." A blonde haired girl sitting on one side of Kairi said. Amanda looked at her and could immediately tell she was a whore. She watched as the girl made her way down to the matt. Jecht looked immediately at Yuna for some odd reason. Amanda turned to look at Yuna and saw a side of her she never ever wanted to see again. "What the-?"

"That's Leblanc." Paine explained, "Let's just say her, Yuna and Tidus don't mix."

"Oh my." Amanda said. Without saying a word, Yuna stood up and proceeded to the mat, where Lebalnc was laughing at her.

"Oh c'mon honey." She said, "Remember LAST time you took me on?"

"It was three against one." Yuna said, vemon in every word she said, "With your two dumb lackeys. This time we'll see how you phase against ME. One on one."

"Fine by me." Leblanc said.

NOT EVEN TEN MINUTES LATER

"O-Okay Yuna! Stop now!" Jecht said, trying to get the situation under control. It really wasn't working to well.

"C'mon!" Paine said, grabbing at Amanda, who was watching the fight with wide eyes. Her head snapped over to Paine, and she looked up at her confused.

"What?" Amanda asked.

"Unless we go down there and get Yuna, she'll be expelled for killing Leblanc!" Paine said.

"Oh shit!" Amanda said, shooting up. Together Amanda and Paine rushed down to the scene where Jecht and two other boys-one Amanda recognized as Rai, the other had black hair that was pulled back in a headband that made his head look like a palm tree- were trying desperately to separate the two girls. Amanda and Paine stepped onto the mat and made a bee-line straight for Yuna, who had Leblanc pinned onto the ground, giving her a good bloody lip. As Amanda and Paine made their way towards the two, Jecht put an arm out to stop them.

"You two girls can't get in the middle there…" He said, "Yuna there might just redirect her anger."

"She's our friend!" Amanda snapped.

"And besides, it looks like Rai and Pence REALLY aren't helping." Paine added, referring to the two boys.

"Huh?" Jecht turned around and say the two boys standing there trying to put as much distance between them as possible. Jecht's face turned a cherry red color as he felt the anger and embarrassment course through him. He whipped around, and told the two teenage girls, who both had smock smiled in their faces, "Do watcha can."

"This way." Paine said to Amanda pulling her around Jecht. The two sped up to Yuna, who's arms we're flying back and forth trying to do as much damage as possible.

"Yuna!" Paine snapped trying to get her attention. She didn't respond.

Paine looked at Amanda, and Amanda knew what they had to do. She nodded her response and Paine said, "On the count of three… one… two…"

"Three!" Amanda said, as both her and Paine lunged for one of Yuna's flying arms. Both girls caught one of her arms each, and they started to yank Yuna upwards. After pulling her up off her feet, Paine looked at Rai and Pence and barked out "What are you standing there for? Get the girl up!"

"Y-yes ma'am!" Both boys said obediently, terrified of the young warrior. They each grabbed Leblanc underneath her arms and pulled up and out of Yuna's rampage. Now the problem was calming her down.

"Jecht!" Amanda said, "Get Leblanc out of here!"

"Good idea!" He said, not caring that a 15 year old girl was telling him what to do. He motioned for Rai and Pence to bring Leblanc to the Healing Wing. After the two boys dragged a mangled Leblanc out, Paine shook Yuna viciously, "Yuna! Get a hold of yourself!"

"Wha-?" Yuna asked, looked around at her surroundings.

"OKAY then!" Jecht shouted as the rest of the class cheered and boo-ed, "CALM YER SELVES DOWN! NOTHIN LET HERE! NEXT UP PLEASE…"

"Wow Yuna." Amanda said, as Paine and Amanda guided a dazed Yuna up to their seat, "You really lashed out!"

"I-I did, didn't I?" Yuna said excitedly.

"Way to go Yuna!" The trio heard numerous voices applaud Yuna as they sat down. Yuna blushed as they all applauded her. She apparently isn't use to this kind of attention. Amanda thought to herself. Then Tidus and Baralai appeared in the room and found their way to the trio.

"Holy shit Yuna!" Tidus said, sitting next to her, "You REALLY showed Leblanc!"

Yuna's face turned crimson red at that remark.

"Man Paine! You and Amanda did really well in trying to calm Yuna down! Baralai added.

"Yeah," Tidus agreed, "My good for nothing old man would've never thought of that."

"Is he that bad?" Amanda asked.

"You have NO idea." Yuna and Tidus responded together.

Paine was the second to last person to fight against a fat guy named Ormi. Within the first 10 minutes the kid had to be sent to the Healing Wing due to a broken jaw. Paine walked back to her seat casually as Jecht applauded her for her performance.

"A true warrior!" Jecht finished off, then looked at his clipboard, "Okay, the last match is Riku against…"

"Me." Amanda muttered to herself as Jecht called her name. Paine, Baralai, Tidus and Yuna all exchanged worried glances.

"Maybe you should back out." Baralai suggested.

"I don't think Riku's too fond of you after what you did to him in the cafeteria…" Paine added.

"I'll be fine." Amanda said, getting up. Yuna watched her as she looked at the doorway. Yuna looked and saw her cousin Rikku, her friend Gippal, Yuffie and another brunette girl whom she didn't know. Yuna also remembered they were getting out earlier then usual today, due to some faculty meeting, which really didn't make sense to her seeing as the Principal wanted to see them, but Yuna dismissed this as she watched Amanda grin at the brunette, who returned her look with a curious one. Yuna went to stop her as Riku stepped onto the mat, when Amanda looked at them and said, "Relax. Worse come to worse, I'm in the Healing Wing, right?" She tried to lighten the mood, but it didn't work.

"Just chill out." She said finally, and started towards the mat, boos and cheering following her. She looked at Riku and a small bubble of fear rose up inside of her.

Maybe Yuna was right?

You're kidding me, right?

No. He's probably much stronger then I am!

Are you KIDDING me? We've fought demons, warlocks and evil things… and you're afraid of some teenage ass-hole who think's he's all that!

No! I'm afraid of being publicly HUMILIATED!

Well GET OVER IT'!"

Amanda stepped onto the mat and up to Riku.

"Get ready!" Both teens stepped back into their fighting positions.

'Get set!"

"No hard feeling from this morning, okay?" Riku whispered to Amanda, who put on an innocent helpless face, "I won't take it to hard on you."

"I'll take you word on that." Amanda replied.

"GO!" Jecht shouted, and officially the fight had begun.

DONE! AHAHAH! HAD TO LEAVE YOU ON THAT CLIFF HANGER! More up soon. Review!
