"Yunie! Hurry up! We're already running late. Why do you have a fast car, but go so slow?" Crossing her arms she looked out the window, "You do it on purpose. You know I'm excited about going back the first day of school…and especially seeing Gippal." Grinning to herself Yuna glanced to the speedometer and back to Rikku.

"I'm going the speed limit Rikku, don't worry we're five minutes early." The car came to a halt. Sitting beside a curb Yuna signaled Rikku to go to the door. They had entered another neighborhood much like their own; full of wealth and social status. Yuna's father was the most renowned Politician in Bevelle, and had just entered his new term in office as Maester of Bevelle. Running up the steps Rikku swung her arms. She wore an emerald green skirt with a yellow tank top out lined with green seams. Her yellow flip-flops slapped the bottom of her feet with each step. Her blond hair was held in a green hair tie with loose hair falling freely upon her tan shoulders. Knocking slightly upon the door Lenne, and surprisingly Lulu had opened, and stepped out.

"Hey Lulu. What are you doing here? We were going to your house next."

"I decided to save Yuna the trip." Smiling Rikku ushered them back to the car. Lenne had long brown hair. She wore a purple tank top with a jean jacket, and jean skirt with matching purple flip-flops. Lulu on the other hand was rather more reserved. She had long dark black hair, and crimson red eyes. She wore a black corset top with red ribbon, and matching skirt that met at her knees. Yuna had worn exactly what Rikku picked out; a white tank top with a pink fleece sweater, and baby blue jean hip huggers.

Rikku and Lulu sat in the back while Lenne called shotgun. Looking to Lenne Yuna giggled as she placed the car into drive.

"Lenne, you're going to need some new clothes when summer ends, ya know something that shows less skin."

"I don't see why they make us go back when summer is clearly not over yet. It's ridiculous. Speaking of Yuna, summer isn't over yet. I heard Dona and Lucile are having a party this weekend—"I can't I have an interview at the University of Besaid."

"Damn Yuna, that is really far away, well good luck with that—"Well… I am kind of nervous—"Why don't you get your dad—"No. I don't want his help, I want to do it on my own." The car remained quiet. Desperate to liven the car Rikku reached for the stereo controls, clicked to the nearest station, and turned the music up as they pulled into the school parking lot.

They all got out of the car grabbing their purses, but no books were apparently present. Who needed books on the first day anyways? Gippal and Wakka soon approached. Both stars of the Bevelle High School Blitz ball team. Wakka wrapping his arm with Lulu's kissed her cheek.

"Hey Lu. Haven't seen you since the last party we were at, wait that was yesterday." Laughing to himself he looked to Lulu who wasn't laughing.

"Get the fuck away from me Wakka or I'll shove some firaga right up your ass." Walking away she snapped her fingers signaling him to grab her purse that she had left on the hood of Yuna's car. Looking back at the group he smiled, "I love it when she's angry...oh she is just so damn feisty!" Grabbing her purse he ran ahead grabbing her arm once more. Gippal holding hands with Rikku pulled her closer.

"Are you trying out for Captain of the sophomore cheerleaders after school today?"

"I'm already a cheerleader Gippal."

"Yeah, but think of how great it would look. Me, being one of best players on the team dating the captain of the cheerleaders. We'd be in social heaven."

"Gippal were already in social heaven—"Baby, it's all about image okay, but I'll talk to you later about it. I got some business I have to handle right now alright." With a kiss on the cheek he was gone. Rikku turning back towards what was now left of the group bid her farewell to her first class. Approaching from behind Yuna a frail boy tapped Yuna on the shoulder. His steps were uneasy as he held out a bouquet of flowers he handed them to Yuna who had accepted them with both hands. He had had a crush on
Yuna ever since they were younger and admired her so. Stepping between them Lenne pushed him into the wall.

"How about you get the hell out of Yuna's air. Who the hell are you anyway?" Trying to look somewhere rather than the floor he spoke in whispers.

"I'm just… I was just—"Well don't. We don't have time for people like you. Come on Yuna." Grabbing her hand, jerking her unrepentantly, the bouquet was knocked from her hands hitting the ground. With apologetic eyes she walked away. Walking down the hall to their first class they entered as the bell rang. Taking their seats in the back near Leblanc, Nooj, Lulu, and Wakka they slid into their seats, Yuna whispering to Lenne, "You didn't have to be that way to Clasko—"You actually know his name? Wow, well look Yuna, I'm just looking out for you. Seymour isn't going to want to go out with you if he sees you with another guy, and giving you flowers! Pull your act together. Just like Gippal said it's all about the image, and Seymour wouldn't have liked that little image at all."

"The Senior class president? No thanks Lenne he isn't my type—"Then what is your type. I swear nobody can compare to that damn mystery man of yours… you know Yuna even if you don't like him you should still consider it. "

Yuna's eyes glanced towards the window. Her blue and green eyes searching the skies, "Ugh… Stop it Yuna…you… have to move on…you… have to let go. You can't keep holding onto something that isn't there."
