"Kairi, Kairi the bus has stopped. You umm... really need to wake up now." who did that vioce belong to again? Kairi slowly opened her eyes and saw a gorgeouse face staring at her. Oh, Sora. She realized shew as leaning on Sora's arm. She turned beet red and flung herself off Sora, who laughed. "Don't worry. I'm ok with it. But, you really, realy, need tog et off the bus. Class starts in 5 minutes.

The first thing that reached Kairi'smind was,'Awww! How sweet! He waited for me to wake up!' the next thing was, 'DAMNIT! NOW I'm GOING TO BE LATE TO CLASS!'

"Thanks for waing me up Sora!" she grabbed her bag and flute and ran off the bus. She didn't know why Sora wasn't hurrying. Maybe he had firs period free. She ran all the way to her first class. Civics. Her teacher was JUST about to close the door when she pushed past him and dove into her seat. Her teacher, Mr.Oldmind, glanced at her.

"Good show Ms. Kasawa. Next time though, trying making to to class without preforming life or death stunts." and wiht that he closed the door and went to his desk.

"Now, if you did the reading last night, you should be able to tell me who suggested that we have three branches of government and why. Ms. Kasawa since you gave us such a good show this morning why don't you start?" Kairi blinked,

"W-well..." she stammered, looking around, "Uhh, I twas... introduced by, Barond de. Montisque and the reaosn is so that noe branch gets mroe powerful than the others?" she almost asked.

"You survived this time Ms. Kasawa. but next time I expect you to definetly know the answer. Not just guess. Today, we are going to make history come to life..." kairi smiled and the rest of the class cheered. The Mr.Oldmind could be tough, he was fun. history Coming to Life meant watching a video. mainly School House Rock. It may seem babyish.; but it was always fun to watch, and then make fun of when the teacher wasn't here. Besides, it got them out of doing any wokr fo rlike, 30 minutes. Not a bad trade off.

sang the movie. All the kids were raising their hands pretending to have lighters. Kairi laughed. This was the immaturity of her classmates. And why she loved being in class with them so much

After class, the kids all ran to their lockers. Lucky for Kairi it was a day 2, meaning no 2nd period class, but htey had a class meeting. So they all filled into the gym. Kairi met up with Rikku and Tidus.

"Oh Hey guys!" she said. Tidus blinked. Rikku stared.

"Wow Kairi, we didn't expect you tocome today. or be so happy about... you know..." Kairi looked down.

"I'm not happy, at all. But I'm yelling so you can hear me over hte talking of 400 other students!" she cried. Thats when Rikku and Tidus comprehended it. Kairi was not happy. Finally they all sat down in there seat so they wouldnt have to yell.

"So Kairi, you parents amde you come?" questoined Tidus. Kairi bit her lip and nodded. "I can't beleive Riku was sucha jerk! Just to go with Namine like that! I... i just can't beleive it..."

/Flashback/

Tidus stood in the doorway of room 106 waiting for Kairi and Riku tocome out. He had to ask them about helping Wakka who was running for Student Council. BUt the conversation he heard inside was different.

"Listen Kairi. I just like Namine more than you. I'm sorry. But, hey, you- you don't have to cry. Think of it this way, when I'm sitting inthe golden seat, I'll meniton you and you can get popular with me and-" Tidus saw Namine walk into the room from the other door.

"Ready to go Riky?" she planted a passionate kiss on Riku's mouth. "Listen Kairi. I'm sorry but Riku wants a.. real woman. Right Riku? And, now that he's with me, he won't ave tome for you and your silly kid games. Tell her Riku.

"R- right. I- I'm going to be spending more time with Namine now... uhhh but Kairi..."

"Oh come on Riku. Aren't you done yet? we have plans tonight!' now Tidus hard Kairi's voice.

"I- I-" her voice was breakign up.. Riku shrugged and walked Namine out the door wihtout glancing back.Onc they were gone Kairi fled the room and Tidus followed her. into the girl's bathroom. He didn't care about it. He just wanted to comfor his friend.

"Riku doesn't deserve you if he onl loves looks and popularity. HE's a goddamn bastard. Don't you worry Kairi. I'm here. All of your friends are here with you." KAiri laughed bitterly through the tears.

"All but two. But Tidus? Why?" and she went back to crying and all Tidus could do to comfort her was hold her like a brother would hold a sister. Safe.

/end flashback/

Tidus sighed, sorrow on his face ofr his friend.BUt asfter he loked sad for a moment or two, he jumped and began walking out of the row.

"Tidus!" complained Rikku. Kairi lookeded behind her, and there was Riku and Namine basically making out for all the world to see. Riku used to only make out with her in public just a little. "I want to save very inch of you for myself. No one else should get to see..." and here he was basically breathing in Namines face. Ugh. She looked away, but then something clicked in her head. Tidus. Damnit. Sometimes she was slow.

Tidus walked over to Riku and tapped him on the shoulder. Riku didn't move.Tidus slapped him on the shoulder and screamed in his ear. He turned his head.

"Oh! Tidus! Hey I-" he was cut off with a square punch to the jaw. Then another one right into the nose, and another one in the eyes, and then a kick where it hurt the most.

"You bastard! That was for Kairi. You don't even deserve to know her!" Riku lay there yelping in pain while Namien complained about a drop of blood getting on her new shirt. After a second though she bent down at Riku's side. Overwhelmed by what Tidus just did, Kairi's mouth was hanign open, almost in a smile, and Rikku was just staring. A teacher came to repremand Tidus, who glanced at Kairia nd winked and smiled. Kairi smiled back.

Tidus was led away feelign proud. Riku and Namine went to the nurse's office. And the assmbly began.

I sat in my seatafter watching the small blonde kid kick the other silver haired guy's but. Only one thing amazed me. What was it that he said? "You bastard! That was for Kairi. You don't even deserve to know her!" was he talking about Kairi Kasawa? The sweet cute redheaded girl on the bus? Was Tidus her boyfriend or the other one? I tried to find her in the sea of faces but had no luck. Damn, She seemed really nice. I wonder if we have any classes together... hmmm oh well. At least we will always see eachother on the bus no matter what. Oh look, the principal is walking to the stage.

"GOOD MORNING SCHOLARS!" she cried into the microphone. Good morning to you too. "Well, today we have a really special assembly! Please welcome three of our new teachers, Mr. Squall Leonheart, Mr. Cid Hinami, and Mr. Cloud Hikari!" My mouth just hung open. So this was Cloud's new job. He said he had a job close to the school but this is ridiculouse!I heard Mr. Leonheart walk up to the microphone. He had shiny brown hair that hung kinda long down his back. When you looked into his black eyes you could see thoghness, but also kindness. Cloud and Mr. Hinami stood behind him.

"Well good morning scholars. Ok. Mr. Hikari, Mr. Highwind, and I are going to be starting here. I'm going to be teaching Creative Writing along with Mr. Hikari. He will tell you more about that." there were murmurs in the crowd. I saw Mr. HIghwind stepping up to the microphone.

"Hello. I, as you know, am Mr. Hghwindi. I am going to be offering a new course, Metal Shop. We're going to be making things out of meta. If ya block heads coulnd't figure that out already that is." I nodded and breifly considered the course, a few kids laughed at being called block-heads. When I realized it was Cloud's turn I gazed intensly at him.

"Hi, I'm Mr. Cloud Hikari. I just moved here from Traverse Town. I actually have a little brohter in the 9th grade, Sora Hikari." I sunk into my seat. Please let this be over! NOOO! But then I noticed Kairi smiling at me and straitened up. Maybe, if Kairi likes it it isn't that bad. "Anyways, as Mr. Leonhart said, we will be teaching Creative Writing.. And, there is going to be a writing contest in 2 month. You can send in anything. novels, poems, short stories, plays, anything. I, among other creative writing teachers throughout variouse school participating, will be judging them. Winner just might get their published. Um, thats all I really need to say. I hope I get to read something good." And Cloud walked off stage with the others.
A writing contest made sense if you think about it. My parents were both writers. My dad wrote science fiction and mystery, and my mom wrote fantasy, and just books about normal life. Most involved romance. Writing ran in our blood. I myself was handy with a pen.

As we were dismissed from assembly, I caught up with Kairi and the friend besides her. Kairi introduced her as Rikku.

"Are you going to enter the writing contest Sora? It was you brother who suggested it! I love writing..." and on Rikku blabbed. Kairi stayed quiet. Every now and then nodding or shaking her head. Sometimes saying yes no or I don't know. She's either shy, upset, or disturbed by me. I can't tell which. I wonder why she has reason to be any though. I finally got to my locker. It wasn't that close to Kairi's but it wasn't far either. It was right next to the blond kid who punched out the other one.

"Um hello. I'm Sora Hikari, I'm new and..." th other boys smiled.

"Have the brother as a teacher right? Nice to meet you. I'm Tidus Flit. Hey, what class do you have next?" I looked at my schedule. Science in MB (Mickey Building) 201. Tidus smiled.

"Hey me too! I have that class with Kairi, Yuffie, and Wakka. Your gonna love them!" I blinked. So I do have a class with Kairi.

"I- I do know Kairi. She's on my bus..." Tidus's smile widdened, if that were possible.

"Oh well thats great! C'mon, I'll show you where it is!" and so Tidus led me to the room, all the while talking about the school and how it worked and such. I listened sometimes, but other times I kinda wondered off in my head. Finally we reached the classroom. Kairi wasn't there yet, and we still had a few minutes befoer the teacher came. But someone who actually was waiting by the door was the silver haired teen I saw earlier. Hmmm... Tidus punched this kid out, and he looked pretty bad. He had a black eye, a swollen and red nose with tisses stuffed up it, when I looked I saw a tooth ahd been chipped, and he had a briose on his jaw. When he saw Tidus he stopped.

"What the hell was that for earlier? I heard you say something after but I was in to much pain to comprehend." Tidus rolled his eyes.

"I had said that was for Kairi. I was there when you smashed her heart. You bastard. That was about as cruel a break up as I have ever seen." Riku rolled his eyes,

"Listen Tidus. Things between me nd Kairi just weren't working. I was to me and she was to her." It seemed like a batt;e of eye rolling.

"Yeah sure. You mean you were to selfish and vain and stupid and caught up witha pretty smile to be a loyaland trusting friend and boyfriend like Kairi. I get it." Tidus glanced at me, "And OH, Sora this is Riku. stay away from him unless you want your friendshipto be dismantled for a bit more popularity. RIku is a bloody bastard." Riku glared at Tidus. I just kinda nodded and stood there waiting for either the teacher to come or Kairi so I could talk to her. Sometimes being caught in the middle isn't easy.
