Disclaimer: I do NOT own Final fantasy X or X-2. If I did, I'd be a multi millionaire. Which I'm not. I'm just some random normal (in some ways) person who like many others, wants to write or type up stories for some fun!
Summery: A whole new story to save time whilst I try to continue with my other fanfiction, Hao's new destiny. But one evening, this idea just popped up in my head, and all my friends liked the sound of it, so I thought I'd give it a go!
A bunch of friends are all due to start year 7 in Secondary school (In other words, me and a few of my friends)! But when we arrive we meet a few very odd people, who happen to be the characters from Final fantasy X! (And maybe X-2, but that depends). New friendships will bloom, as well as new loves and at the same time, we're all planning on having a blast!
This will be from first person point of view, (AKA: me.) lol.
Also, an extra note. I'm afraid updates won't be possible during July, because I'm going on a school trip to Normandy, and then a week after, I'm going to Spain with my Grandparents for a fortnight! So please don't have a go at me if I don't update during July!
Anyway, let's get on with the story!
Chapter 4: Lulu and flowers aren't a good mix…
It had only been half a month, and things had been more exciting then ever! My mates and me had already been invited to a big party! One of those ones where people are all dancing and screaming, and basically having a good time. We hadn't been officially invited, but a Year 9, who happened to be good mates with Yuna and Rikku, was holding the party. They mentioned it to us when we'd been on our way to our Geography class, and said that everyone was invited. We of course mentioned it to Gippal and the others, and they took interest too.
Currently, I was at Jenni's house. The both of us were still applying make up for the party (though my nana disapproved because I was still only 11), and waiting for Tidus's dad to come and pick us up.
"This party should be great!" Jenni cried, applying some bottle green eye shadow on to match her outfit (a deep velvet green long sleeved top with a pair of black jeans and a pair of simple 'Nike' trainers).
I nodded in agreement. "Who was it who was it whose hosting the party again?" I asked as I applied some lilac eye shadow to match my own outfit (a sparkly lilac short sleeve top with a silky back jacket over the top of it, a pair deep blue jeans and a pair of black trainers).
Jenni frowned, trying to remember the name. "I think it was… Lulu or something like that. She's meant to be quite popular in Year 9, and she started the whole Goth trend in her year." Jenni said this with admiration, seeing as she enjoyed dressing like a Goth at times too. In fact she could dress like a Goth at the oddest moments, like at a summer party!
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Jenni cried in fright and whispered, "Do I look okay Sarah?" Obviously worried that Tidus or Gippal or something might tease her.
I laughed. "Don't worry Jenn-Chan!" I said cheerfully, giving her a hug. "If anyone tries teasing you, they have to speak to my fist!" I imitated punching her. Jenni just grinned and expertly blocked my punch. I should of known better. She did take Tae Kwon Do.
"Jenni! Hurry up, your boyfriends here to pick you up!" Jenni's mum called up the stairs. Jenni gasped and went bright red before screaming, "MUM!"
I laughed and ran down the stairs, wanting to see Tidus's reaction. He had gone red too and was scratching the back of his head nervously.
We both nervously climbed into the car. Tidus's dad grinned at us. "Ready to get going ladies? And Tidus, no crying whilst you're there!"
Tidus rolled his eyes and mumbled, "I really do hate you dad…" His dad laughed.
Tidus turned around in his chair to face us. "This is my dada Jecht. Biggest head on our street he has." Tidus informed us.
Jecht just hooted. "That's cause I'm the best, you know that kid!" Tidus rolled his eyes and folded his arms in annoyance, whilst Jenni and me just sweat dropped. Tidus's dad was like some kind of teenager!
It took about 15 minutes to get to the house. It was still a little quiet, but there were already people dancing in the living room. You could see them through the curtain. Most of them were Year 8's or 9's. I spotted Abbie and Gillian stood outside with Yuna and Rikku and a girl with very long black hair that was braided. She was wearing a jet-black belly top, revealing her belly button piercing that had what looked like a moogle head on it. She was also wearing a black long skirt, which had a sexy slit up the side. To finish the look, she was wearing a pair of Gothic thick-heeled boots.
As me and Jenni climbed out of the car, followed shortly by Tidus, who'd been giving his dad very digs in the arm., we could here that the music playing was 'Run it' by Chris Brown, feat Juelz Santana. (Note: I love that song!)
"OI! Sarah! Jenni!" Gillian called with a wave. I ran towards them quickly, with Jenni at my heel. The mystery girl looked us up and down before nodding in approval, obviously appreciating our fashion efforts. I looked at the others outfits. Abbie was wearing a floaty navy blue top and a pair of black velvet trousers, and a pair of strappy sandals. Gillian was wearing a single sleeved top with a deep purple flower attached to the sleeve. Her skirt was normal denim, but with silver sequins sewn onto it. Her shoes were a pair of ankle length boots with silver studs up the side.
"How are you two doing?" Rikku asked us cheerfully, jumping on the stop. She was wearing a sparkly red boob tube and a pair of knee length jeans with a studded red belt. She had a pair of normal trainers on, but with bright red leg warmers covering the rest of her legs.
"We're fine thanks." Jenni answered, before looking around. "So, are the others coming?"
Yuna sighed. "That Gippal insisted on coming in style, so he'll probably be about 5 hours late or something…" She said with a weak laugh. Her outfit was a soft pale pink top, but in bright pink sequins, then words, 'I wish these were brains' had been spelled out. (Note: LMAO. Inspired by a Sims 2 story I looked at!) She was wearing a mini skirt with a thick pale pink belt around it. To complete the look, she was wearing a pair of lace of black boots. (Note: Think of the boots Yuna wears with her Gunner outfit.)
Abbie suddenly looked up and gasped. "I didn't know Auron was coming!" She hissed, going a little red, and hiding behind me as Auron walked by, looking rather mature in a pair of thick black trousers with red top and a black jacket. I laughed at Abbie for hiding.
"Of course he was coming, he's one of my mates." The mystery girl piped up for the first time. Sudden realisation hit me. "Are you Lulu?"
The girl nodded. "Yep." She said simply. "Now we better go inside, or we'll get accused of drug dealing by my neighbours, who always think I'm up to no good." Lulu indicted to the house on our left. At the window we spotted an old woman who looked in her mid 50's watching Lulu closely with a look of disapproval.
When we got in, we were all struck hard by a very strong smell of cigarettes. Jenni chocked and spluttered, because of her asthma. Abbie pulled a face, whilst I imitated throwing up. We saw that the people who had been smoking were Kinoc and a few mates of his, not including Auron, who was currently swigging down a glass of weak beer as though it was water.
Lulu rolled her eyes. "Even though I'm a smoker myself, I can't say I approve of them smoking in the house."
Yuna gasped. "Lulu. You smoke?"
She sighed. "As much as I'd like to quit, it's harder then it looks. I've tried before, but failed. No thanks to Kinoc and his mates pressuring me."
I gave the group a filthy look, and walked past them with the others into the back garden. There weren't that many people out there because it was a little cold that night.
About half an hour later, Gippal, Wakka, Baralai and Paine finally arrived. Paine made a beeline for Lulu. The two of them got on fairly well and were both Gothic. Wakka and Tidus started wrestling each other, obviously trying to show off. Gippal was just watching, whilst jokingly betting on all his money on which he thought was going to win. Baralai was just chatting calmly to Rikku and Yuna. I was dancing to the music with Jenni and Gillian. Abbie didn't do dancing, and was just watching. At that moment, Auron came out. He smirked slightly when he saw Abbie and walked over to her.
I noticed this and nudged the others to get their attention. They giggled as Abbie went even redder and stared at the floor.
"Come on Sarah, let's dance!" Gippal suddenly cried, grabbing me by my arm. In shock I stumbled and tripped over, sending us bailing for the second time in less then a month.
"Oh, you're keen." Gippal said grinning. I smacked him over the head and stood up again. Jenni was laughing like mad in the background. Tidus eventually pulled himself out of his play fight with Wakka and walked up to Jenni and asked her to dance! She went a little red and mumbled, "Erm… okay."
I smiled and eventually dragged Yuna, Rikku and Paine to dance. Yuna smiled and let her sway in time to the music. Rikku quickly jerked herself along to the beat, whilst Paine just did some type of slithery snake like dance. Soon half the guy in Year 8 or 9 were gawping at her. Paine ignored it and kept dancing. Gippal grinned and expertly moved behind Paine so it looked like they were dancing together. Paine smartly elbowed him accidentally on purpose in the stomach.
Eventually, Lulu called us all around and hissed, "I just spotted my neighbours sneaking around. I've gotten the others to leave, but I heard you lot don't get picked up till later! We better sneak round the back until those nosey old bags leave."
I frowned, but quickly followed her and the others out of the back gate and into an alleyway. Lulu pulled out a cigarette, but turned away from the rest of us to stop the smoke from going into our faces.
"So, what should we do to pass the time?" I eventually asked. Lulu sighed and didn't reply, obviously out of ideas. Suddenly, a horrible snide voice that sounded extremely familiar called, "Oh, all fun and games in the Alleyway!" It was Kinoc and his meat headed mates.
Lulu gave Kinoc a very firm glare. "Just get lost you lot. I didn't even invite you here in the first place." She took a long drag out of her cigarette before dropping it to the floor and stomping it out.
Kinoc sneered. "Fine, we'll leave. Oh and by the way, she's pretty cute." He added, pointing at… Gillian?
Gillian gasped and screamed. "ER!"
Eventually, they left. Gillian was still crying, "ER!" As loud as she could.
Wakka looked extremely bored. Eventually he cried, "I'M BORED YA?" Before kicking his football at the wall in impatient. The ball bounced off the wall and hit Lulu. Hard. She screamed in shock as she flew over the fence that block direct access to the field behind Lulu's house. She landed head first into a pile of flowers.
"LULU!" Rikku yelped in shock. Wakka looked terrified, "So… sorry!" He cried, jumping over the fence, trying to pull Lulu up. Lulu gave him a very icy glare, and opened her mouth, ready to shout abuse…
"AH… CHOO!"
Gillian sweat dropped. "Ahcoo?"
I rolled my eyes. Gillian didn't seem to realise that the noise Lulu had made was no more then a sneeze.
After that, we all learnt a real lesson… Lulu and flowers weren't a good mix.
I'm rather proud of this chapter. It took me a while to put together. So please review, but no flamers!
Cya next time! XXX
