Chapter 5:

Yuna's POV:

I walked down the school's hallway with Rikku and Lulu at my sides. The usual morning routine of the small whistles came from all around. I smiled and went over to my locker. Rikku and Lulu said their goodbyes as they went over to their locker. I put my combination for the 3rd time because my locker isn't the easiest locker to work with. I sighed as I finally got it open and took out my books for my 1st period. I picked them up and put them against my chest. As I closed my locker, I saw my worst nightmare. Seymour.

"How did you get in here, Seymour?" I growled as he smiled at me. My eyes wandered around the hallways as I waited for an answer, getting impatient.

"I have my ways, but that's not what matters," Seymour started as tried to get close to me, as I took steps back behind me. "What matters is me and you, Yuna,"

"No, what matters is that you get out of my way," I sneered as I tried to get by him. Seymour grasped my arm, shoving me into a corner. I tensed up as he pushed down on my books, making me loose my grip. My books fell tumbling down onto my feet as he closed the gap between us. I put myself as far into the corner as I could trying to get as far away from as I could, but it didn't work as he just closed the gap.That was it. I screamed at the top of my lungs. When he heard that, he immediately pressed his hand against my mouth.

"Be quiet, my dear Yuna," Seymour said trying to force a smile. "Oh you just might get hurt,"

As he tried to lean down and kiss me quickly, I saw a dazed look on his face as he fell to the ground.

Tidus' POV:

I strutted down the hallway as I got gigglesfrom girls leaning on their lockers. They squealed as I winked at them. Look at me, I'm already flirting with girls, heh. I roamed down the hall until I ran into my friend, Wakka. He smiled as he lifted his hand in the air for a high five. I smacked it as he greeted me.

"What's up brudda?" Wakka asked. "I saw ya looking at the ladies, ya"

"Ahh that's nothing, Wakka, just saying hi," I said trying to sound casual about it.

"Yeah whatever," Wakka said laughing at my comment. "So what's goin' on with Yuna,"

"Nothings goin' on with Yuna, dude I said I don't like her," I said, but deep down I think I may be falling for her. So I covered it up.

"Bro, I can see it in your eyes," Wakka said seeing right through me. "You're a bad liar you know?"

"Whatever," I replied still trying to cover it up. "I'll see you later," I waved to Wakka walking away. I walked over near the restrooms, going to get a drink of water from the water fountain. I heard a scream, that then became muffled. I furrowed my eyebrows, looking around. When I turned the corner, I saw Seymour against Yuna, about to kiss her. I karate chopped him in the center of his head sending him to the floor.

I stood there, with Seymour on the floor unconscious, staring at Yuna as she did the same to me. She ran to me pulling me into an embrace, pressing her head against my chest. I saw her slowly release the tears built up. They flowed down her face as she looked up to me. The tears dripped from her chin onto my shirt, but I didn't mind.

"T-t-thank you T-Tidus," Yuna said trying to speak between sobs. I stroked her hair softly as she laid her cheek against my chest. I planted my cheek against the tip of her head, rubbing her back in comfort.

"No problem," I replied. "No problem," I repeated.

"I'm glad you were here," She said softly looking into my eyes as I gazed back into hers. Her eyes slightly red from the crying. I wiped the one last tear that fell from her eye, as she smiled up at me.

"I'm glad I was too," I replied smiling back at her.

After a few more minutes of comforting and embracing, I broke the hug, backing away slowly. I scratched the back of my head. Surprised of the moment that I had with Yuna.

Yuna POV:

Wow I'm even surprised at what just happened. I watched as he cutely scratched his blonde, spiky hair as if he was confused. He finally broke the silence.

"You know," Tidus started thinking of exactly what he should say. "You're seem a lot different then what I've heard,"

"Yeah, I wish people wouldn't always assume I'm so easy or something," I replied as I looked down. Tidus came over to me and lifted my chin. We met eye to eye.

"Heh, I guess you can't give off the wrong impression, not even for one second," Tidus said.

I slowly back away, not exactly liking his answer. "That's the thing! No one knows me, so they listen to every little rumor they hear,"

"I'm sorry," Tidus apologized. "For listening to just another rumor,"

"It's ok, just like everyone else," I started. "Believing their friends without knowing that person. Just think its okay to believe everything you hear," I finished starting to run away. I feel a warm hand grab hold of my arm, preventing me to go any further. I looked back at a sad Tidus.

"That's the thing," He started as he got closer to me. "Everyone makes an mis-"

"Whatever just another excuse, I presume," I said in a smart-alecky way. "Save it,"

"I'm sorry," Tidus apologized for the second time. He leaned for a kiss, but I backed away, disapproving the kiss. He opened his eyes with a sad look.

"Do you know why I'm like this?" I asked. "Huh Huh, because I used to be labeled as 'ugly' or a 'dork'. Never could get a boyfriend and always teased about how I looked. I finally got a new look, which I got a lot of looks from...Alot of stares. One time, Dona's boyfriend dumped her for me, and since then she always spread rumors that I was a slut. And the whistlin' adds more to it,"

"Heh," Tidus replied.

" 'Heh'? That's all you have to say?" I asked angrily.

"Look sorry for how things turned out," Tidus said. "And I'd like to start over,"

"Okay, I'm Yuna and you are?" I asked reaching out my hand.

"I'm Tidus, nice to meet you," Tidus said as he played along. "Friends?"

"Yeah," I answered as we headed down the hall, being 10 minutes late to class. As we entered the classroom, everyone's attention was turned to us.

"Sorry, teach," Tidus piped up.

"You're lucky, I'm in a good mood, I'll let it slip," The teacher said. "Now go to your seats,"

"Yes," Tidus and I said in unison obeying the teacher, as we went over to our seats and sat down. We stared at each other across the room and went back to our work. I heard someone whisper my name. I looked over at Tidus, but he was working so I looked behind me and saw Rikku whispering my name.

"What?" I asked wondering why she called my name.

"What happened?" Rikku asked being her nosy self.

"Nothing," I said smiling looking forward getting situated at my desk.
