Chapter 3

"KAIRI! KAIRI! WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" Come on Kairi, open your eyes…..no don't swing your arm…ahh! you're gonna hit her! "OW! Kairi, what was that for?" Idiot, why did you hit her? I groaned as I continued to argue mentally with myself. It was way too early to be waking up, and in case you didn't notice, I'm not much of a morning person. Not. At. All.

"Sorry Selphie….I don't really like being woken up..." I muttered as I rolled out of bed. It was my first day of classes, and I was dead nervous. Maybe everyone would hate me. Maybe I would say something stupid, or get lost, or in trouble. Wait, what was I saying, maybe, it was GOING to happen! "Hey….Kairi, you okay?" Selphie peered into my face anxiously. "You look like you're going to be sick." I took a shaky breath and nodded. "I'm fine; just nervous."

"Everyone is nervous on their first day here. It's pretty normal. Just make sure you don't let the "popular" crowd see you, or you will become their bait," Larxene sad calmly while puling on her shoes. "Comforting," I said sarcastically as I pulled out my uniform. It was a navy blue button down shirt that clashed magnificently with my dark red hair, and a short, white skirt that (thankfully) didn't have any pleats. On the skirt there was a cool design that started at the bottom and reached the pocket, with the school engravement woven in. Overall, it wasn't a bad outfit.

I walked into our bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth quickly, through on some eyeliner and mascara, and looked in the mirror, satisfied. This was as good as it was gonna get. "Kairi, lets go! We don't want to miss breakfast!" Selphie said impatiently, jumping up and down on the balls of her feet. I rolled my eyes and grinned, following her and Larxene out the door.

We made our way to the dining hall, which looked like a normal cafeteria, only a bit more homey, full of students in their uniforms getting food, and chatting with friends. Selphie immediately led me to a table near the window, at which Tidus and a few other people were sitting.

"Hey guys! This is Kairi, she's my new roommate! Kairi, this is Tidus, whom you've already met, and Wakka, Namine, Rikku, Yuna, and Tyson(BHK)," Selphie listed off the names of people and they nodded or smiled in return at me. Wakka was the tall muscular guy with red hair, Namine was a pretty girl with blonde hair and deep blue eyes, Rikku was a peppy looking girl with blonde hair and green eyes, Yuna looked quiet and reserved with black hair and unusual purple eyes, and finally Tyson, who was tall and muscular, with shaggy blonde hair that covered his eyes, which were a brilliant blue.

I smiled and sat down next to Selphie. She immediately jumped into a conversation with Namine.

"Did you here what Riku did last night? He jumper a teacher's car with his motorcycle, and another teacher saw it!" Selphie said enthusiastically. Namine shook her head. "What an idiot. One of these days he's gonna kill himself…..and I'm gonna laugh."

"Who's Riku?" I asked, curious. Namine turned to me. "He's only the most popular guy in the school," She raised her head to the ceiling dramatically before continuing, "Envied by all the guys, adored by all the girls, well almost all of them……" she turned to face me again, "He practically has the whole student body in the palm of his hand." I looked at her skeptically. "He can't be THAT great can he?" Namine rolled her eyes, and said, "Well, I'll let you answer that for yourself." She indicated behind me, and I turned to look.

There, entering the dining hall, was the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen. He had shoulder length silver hair, and bangs that hung in his eyes hotly. Well, just about everything about him was hot. His heart shaped face was flawless, with aquamarine eyes, and lips planted in what looked like a permanent smirk, he was a god sent to earth. He walked with a graceful confident motion, and it seemed as though the world stopped as he strutted down the aisle. I noticed that many other girls had stopped what they were doing and had turned to look at him. I guess I could understand.

Man, no wonder this guy is so popular. Behind Riku, there were 3 guys, and a small group of hopeful looking girls. One guy had shaggy brown hair, and cold blue eyes, another had spiky blonde hair that hung in his eyes, which were both mysterious and captivating. The third guy had gravity defying chocolate brown hair, and startling blue eyes. His face was handsome, and there was no doubt in my mind he would be hotter withought the supreme god of hotness right in front of him. He had a playful look on his face, like he had some permanent joke playing over and over in his head. That was probably due to the fact that all the girls around his friend were swooning. Not….that I was…one of them….of course. Right?

The group sat down at a table near by, and began eating their breakfast. It seemed suddenly as if everything had gone back to normal. I felt like I was in a movie with a pause and play button. Someone had just pressed play.

I felt a playful shove in the arm. I turned back to Namine and Selphie, to see they were smirking. "He---hes not that great….I mean…" I desperately tried to hide my embarrassment. Namine and Selphie grinned wider, and I let out a defeated sigh.

"Okay, so I guess I can see why he's so popular. Who were the guys behind him?" Selphie gave me a satisfied grin and replied, "Well, the one with the shaggy brown hair is Leon, basically like Riku's bodyguard. He's pretty quiet, and kinda rough. The one with the blonde hair is Cloud. He is pretty cool, Tyson is good friends with him. The other one is Sora. He's like next hottest guy in school to Riku. He's also his best friend. Those two are practically inseparable. I'm in like 4 classes with Sora, and about 3 with Riku. They always work together on projects and stuff. Sora is really cool, once you break his shell. At least that's what Tidus told me."

"Tidus is friends with them?" I asked, a plan formulating in my head. "Tidus is friends with everyone. He's a floater. But his best bud is Wakka."

"Somebody say my name?" Tidus said, turning to us. "We were just talking about how you're friends with everybody. Mr. Social," Selphie said teasingly. Tidus grinned widely and said, "It's cuz I'm so damn hot and charming. Can't keep them away!" We all laughed at this, and Tidus stood up. "I'll be right back. I gotta ask Sora something. See you losers later," he grinned one last time before heading off to the 'popular' table.

I sighed heavily and took out my schedule. "Hey, do either of you have any classes with me? I'm not quite sure where to go…" I said uncertainly. Selphie took my schedule and examined it with Namine peering over her shoulder.

"Hey! You have social sciences with me! And then you have math right next to my English room, so I could show you where that is," Namine said enthusiastically. "Then gym, and art… Hey Tyson, don't you have art fourth?" She said turning to Tyson. He looked back from his conversation with Wakka and nodded. "Yeah, I could show you where that is if you want," he said, looking at me. "Thanks. Glad to know I won't be wondering around aimlessly all day," I said, relieved. Tyson grinned. "Oh don't worry. If you got lost, there's only 3 buildings you could be in. It would only take you about 3 class periods to find your way back," he joked. My eyes widened, and I felt the familiar feeling of nerves in my stomach.

Suddenly an obnoxious bell rang through the hall. Everyone began standing up and packing up their things. I stood up too, and grabbed my bag. Namine motioned for me to follow her, and we headed out the door and over to the main building.

"So, Kairi, what brings you to this fine school?" Namine asked as we walked across the lush grass. "Well…." I hesitated, unsure of how to word it, "My parents kind of….had some problems…..and they thought it would be better to send me here, you know, for my wellbeing." Good, that's a good lie. Stick with that. Namine nodded.

"Yeah, my parents know the founders. They thought it would be a good self assurance builder or whatever." I laughed. So maybe my parents weren't' the only ones with crazy ideas.

We headed into the main building, and followed the tide of students up to the third floor. There, Namine showed me the classroom that would be my new social sciences room. I cautiously followed her inside, and took a seat near the back, with her, hoping the teacher wouldn't notice me.

BRIIINNNNG! The obnoxious bell rang again. Everyone hurried to their seats. The teacher walked in; she was fairly old, with salt and pepper hair, and a hideous purple dress. Her pointy black shoes made an annoying click click across the floor as she walked. She sat down at her desk and peered over her reading glasses at the class.

"I see we have a new student, Kairi, welcome," the teacher said in an old shaky voice. I felt my face heat up as everyone turned around to stare at me. I smiled cornily, and sank lower into my desk. Suddenly, however, the spotlight was adverted from me to the front of the class as the door swung open.

And in walked the god himself. Followed by Sora of course.

"Sorry we're late," Riku said in a smooth, deep voice. I swear a few girls in the class fainted. "We got…held up with another teacher. You don't mind of course?" He continued, as he surveyed the class. The teacher frowned, and said pointedly, "If this happens again, you'll be after class scraping gum off the desks." A few girls gasped at the thought of Riku having to get his precious hands dirty. I heard Namine snicker beside me.

Sora stood silently behind Riku, looking slightly irritated at not being noticed at all. It seemed as though Riku hogged the spotlight a little to much for his liking. Riku made his way casually over to an open seat, which just happened to be right next to mine. I thought I would die in my own embarrassment. Man, I really am pathetic over this guy. Sora sat down grumpily behind me.

Class started as normal, the teacher began lecturing us on something completely pointless, and didn't pay any attention to the back of the class. I lazily got out my notebook, and began some pointless drawing/doodle on the page. It was a dog with clothes. How lame am I?

"Hey, that's pretty cool. Did you make that up?" I heard that lovely smooth voice next to me. I felt like I could die. I slowly turned to face the god and heard myself mutter a meager, "Uh—uh huh.." Wow, he is sooo beautiful. Even more up close. His eyes, they are so perfect, and his nose, aww he has such a cute nose..and his hair…..I want to touch it…NO stop it Kairi! Snap out of it, SNAP OUT OF IT! BONK! I felt something hard collide with the back of my head. I spun around angrily to see Namine smirking at me.

"Hey Kairi, don't drown in your drool," she whispered. I rolled my eyes, and sank back into my chair, determined not to look at the person next to me. Suddenly I felt a gentle prod of a finger in my shoulder. I glanced at the teacher, and turned around slowly.

My eyes came in contact with a pair of stunning blue ones. They were even more beautiful than Riku's. Sora was looking intently at me, his face curious.

"Hey are you new here?" he asked quietly. I nodded, feeling flutters in my stomach. Sora leaned back and grinned, "Cool." I smiled back. He's pretty cute… Suddenly I heard the sound of that horrid bell. I groaned and turned back around to gather my things. I looked around to notice a girl with short black hair glowering at me. She walked up to Sora quickly and muttered something in his ear. I heard him protest, but she must have done something because he shut up immediately. I watched helplessly as he trudged out the door behind the girl, closely followed by Riku.

"You are so falling for him! I can totally tell," I heard Namine say behind me. I turned to her in a daze, and without thinking said, "Which one?" I could have kicked myself. She grinned wider and said, "Both you loser! But watch out for Yuffie," she said indicating the black haired girl. "She can be kinda territorial. I wouldn't get in her way if I were you. She could make your life here a living hell." This should be interesting….
