Author's Thoughts: Hey everybody! Sorry for making you readers wait for an update for Find Me, Save Me. I actually had a writer's block with this story but it's been resolved. I've also been very busy with celebrating my birthday! I'm officially fourteen years old and still as short as ever.

Also just to plug in a story, check out my other story More Than Imagination! It's a short story about Axel hoping his muse will actually become his lover. –Smirks at Roxas-

Roxas: Honestly, what does your birthday have to do with anything?

ARi: Well, it's informative about the authoress? –Smiles-

Roxas: Apparently turning fourteen hasn't made you any less of a nutcase. And what was with that smirk?

Enjoy Chapter #8!

-Roxas' P.O.V-

Wonderful, today we are having a substance that resembles some fucked-up macaroni and cheese. So now, I'm going to starve to death while a total bitch is hanging all over me. I'm thinking either faith is trying to teach me a lesson or someone elaborately planned to make my first day here a living hell. I'm going with both options.

"So, Roxas. Since you're alone, want to come sit with us? I'm sure you'd have a better time." Selphie said, still trying to play her sexy card. Apparently, this girl is two light bulbs short of a brain. Does it look like I'm interested in hanging out with a girl who completely hates Namine and wants to jump me everywhere I go? No!

"Selphie, I really don't think that would be a good idea. Thanks for the option but no thanks for the offer." I said, as I grabbed my chocolate milk and headed toward, as Riku put it, "Table de Fun". That should get her to leave me alone for a bit.

"Roxas, I'm wondering how you can actually stand to not tell her off yet. You usually cuss out a person you don't like before we actually get to lunch." Sora commented, as I was sitting down with my lovely lunch.

"For once, I don't think it's worth it. Of course, don't take my word for it." I replied, poking my fork into my lunch. You can't always depend on my word when it comes to getting at someone; I end up going against it anyway.

"So where's Namine, Kairi, and Riku at?" I asked, puzzled at the fact that our friends were nowhere in site.

"Right here and here…" Riku and Kairi both said, as they sit down next to Roxas and Sora.

"Where were you two?" Sora asked, spinning his spoon in his hands. He actually finished his food, no wonder he is so pudgy nowadays. You can tell him I said that if you want too.

"Selphie tried to get at Riku again and of course, I had to have my say into it." Kairi commented, looking at Selphie with a glare. I sense the hate between them is very strong if that wasn't already obvious.

"This school year for us is already starting out wonderful. Wait, where is Namine?" I said, looking around the lunchroom for her. Damn, they are too many parents sending their children here.

"She said she would be coming in a little bit." Kairi commented, with a seldom like look. That doesn't look very assuring.

"Don't worry about it, Roxas. Your girlfriend will be coming any minute now." Riku said, jokingly. Sora and Kairi both coughed, trying to act as if they didn't assume with Riku. Bastards, I tell you.

"Riku, stop joking around, ok? I'm just worried about our friend and your sister." I said, looking down at my tray. It still wasn't interesting but I had to do something.

"Roxas, we all know that you like Namine. Come on, we're not slow." Riku said, smirking like the jackass he can be.

"Sorry Roxas but I always get a vibe when two people like each other." Kairi commented, trying not to make me offensive.

"Great…anything you want to add Sora?" I asked, blushing and looking toward my older bro. Two minutes older, just two.

"Sora, are you in there?" I said, waving my hand in front of his face. Why is he dazing out of reality?

"Huh? Oh…sorry. I was just thinking about the homework we have tonight." That was a damn lie and he knows it. Oh well, it makes it more fun to get it out of him.

"Mr. Glenn is such an adult, giving us so much homework. As if we don't have things to do at home." Riku said, already turned around from looking for his sis.

"Riku, we really don't have lives." Kairi said, laughing a little.

"So? We have lives, just social and school ones." Riku responded.

"Wait, guys, I think I see Namine. She doesn't look ok, either…" Sora said, looking with anguish. As soon as Sora said that, I got up and went after her.

-Namine's P.O.V-

I really wish Selphie would just leave me alone already. Why did she decide today to make it so completely horrible for me? I don't know why but I'm close to crying because of her.

All she did was insult me as her other friends did but for some reason, it hurt me more then it ever did before. It's probably because she did it with more feeling and emotion, just to make me feel like nothing.

"Namine! Where are you going? What happened" I heard Roxas say as I kept walking toward the lunchroom door. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, I really didn't.

"Namine, come on! Stop and tell me what's wrong?" Roxas said, as he stopped me in the hallway. I turned around and looked at him with a small smile.

"It's nothing really, Roxas. I just want to be alone." I told him, holding my book with me. Before I could spin back and walk away, he grabbed my hand.

"Namine, you don't look ok to me. I want to know what's wrong with you." He said, giving me a sympathy look. What is it about him that makes me feel so strange?

"Roxas, Selphie just called me a name or something. It's not a big deal, ok?" I said, hoping he would buy it.

"A name? That doesn't sound very good if it involves Selphie." He said, looking at the wall with a stern, mean look.

"Don't worry about it. Like I said, it's not a big deal." I whispered quietly.

"It is a big deal to me! It's a big deal to me, Sora, Kairi and Riku! She shouldn't get away with hurting your feelings." He told me, as he put his other hand on my shoulder with reassurance.

"I…it's ok, like I…I said." I kept telling him as my tears started to well up. Roxas saw my face, as my tears were about to fall.

"Namine! Oh my god, why are you crying?" I heard Kairi say as the rest of my friends ran toward me. Kairi ran up and hugged me tightly as I started to cry a little. I…I just…I just couldn't hold it in, especially around my friends.

"Namine…" Sora said, as he put his shoulder around me.

"High school is so fucked up sometimes." Riku said, holding his head in annoyance toward Selphie.

"Dammit…" Roxas said, staring back into the wall.

-After School-

"I'll see you guys later, ok? Namine, I hope you feel better, ok? Smile!" Kairi told me, as she hugged me and went off toward her house. Kairi lived in the neighborhood a different direction from the rest of us.

"Bye!" I shouted as Riku, Roxas, Sora and I waved goodbye.

"So how did you like your first day at school?" Riku asked, as we started walking toward our houses.

"It was ok, as school will be. Besides that incident with Selphie…" Sora said, getting slightly angry at it.

"Whoever fucking likes her is just idiotic." Roxas said, as his fists clenched.

"That's high school for you. There will be good times and drama times." Riku said, putting his shoulder around me and giving me that "I care" look.

"Guys, it's ok. I'm sorry I made you get up from your lunch and worry you." I said, looking down at the pavement. I don't like bothering my brother or my friends with my problems sometimes. It ruins everyone's day.

"Namine, come on! We're your friends! Your problems never bother us, we luv ya too much to let it." Sora said, with a big grin.

"Yeah, the only problem that bother us is Sora's problem with spiders." Roxas said, giving Sora a funny look.

"What? Those eight-legged freaks are ugly. I still don't understand why people like them." Sora said, shivering in his shoes. This made me laugh a little.

"There, we actually get that beautiful smile back." Roxas said, looking at me. Oh my god, did he just tell me my smile was beautiful?

"Hey Roxas, nice one. I didn't know you could be so smooth." Riku said, as he looked at Sora and vice versa.

"Roxas and Namine, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Sora said, laughing.

"More like F-U-C-K-I-" Was all Riku said before Roxas started chasing after him. My friends are so weird but Roxas is making me feel weird…oh god.

"RIKU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
