Author's Thoughts: -Walks with hands up- Heh…ARi is back from her disappearing act once again so please don't shoot! Sorry everyone, I had finals, graduation and other school related activities that affected my chance to update. Because it's all over though, I am finally free at last and I can update freely! In addition, I'm a young high school fresh man. Lovely, isn't it?

Sora: Better pray for your survival, young grasshopper.

Namine: Come on, Sora. She'll be fine, it's not like the upperclassmen still hurt the freshmen.

Riku: You better tell that to Roxas. –Points-

Roxas: -Laughing manically- Doom to the lower classes!

ARi: Damn upperclassman and his sugar induced pain rushes… -Pouts- I do not own anything of Square Enix because if I did, I would not be pouting right about now.

Enjoy Chapter 10!

-Namine's P.O.V-

Lunch time once again…I'm secretly dreading this place after what happened. I'm surprised it's affecting me so much; maybe I've taken too much from Selphie. It'll pass, I suppose. I hope so anyway.

"Namine, we're sitting over here today!" I turned around as Sora shouted and directed me to the Amigos Table (Riku takes Spanish II, go figure).

"So, you guys have plans for today? I'm soooo completely bored with school already." Kairi was looking at everyone with a expression of hope while drinking her milk. Did we have plans today was a good question. I'm actually bored myself.

"Well, we could always go to Sora and Roxas' place for videogames and conversation?" Riku suggested, pushing his tray away from him in digust.

"Since when is our house up for volunteer?" Roxas and Sora both argued at the same time.

"Since you moved here and since you two are the only people who own every single game system plus Dance Dance Revolution with working mats." Riku smirked at his long winded comeback.

"Wait, I thought you had mats at your house, Riku?" Sora asked with a pout.

"Dance Dance Revolution with working mats." My brother emphasized with his hands. I have to agree, thanks to Riku; our mats broke in some kind of accident or so he says.

"So it's settled then. Hanging out at Roxas/Sora's right after school." Kairi shouted, looking at Sora with a glint in her eye.

-Meanwhile Somewhere in the Lunch Room / Selphie's P.O.V-

"Hmph, look at those losers all hanging together and having fun." I told everyone at my table. My usual group of girls and worshippers were hanging at my table because as you know; I am the one of the most popular girls. They always try to hang around me even some of them are pretty ugly and revolting.

"Selphie, you are like talking about them like too much." Rikku was sighing everytime I said something about them. Rikku is known as the popular crazy girl that everyone tries to get with. She is notorious for her blonde braids and today was no exception.

"I do agree. I mean, they haven't done anything to you and you're just sitting here bitching." Paine retorted after Rikku. Paine is honestly, the bitchest popular girl. She has this goth girl looking going on. If you step on her wrong foot, she will kick your sorry ass until you're blind.

"Who's side are you guys on? I can bitch about it all I want." I shot back, giving them glares to shut up.

"You sure about that?" Yuna asked, looking at Selphie with a unhappy look. Yuna is the most manipulative person of the group. Anything she wants, she will probably get.

"Selphie, another of your fans has a love letter for you." Tidus, one of my closest guy friends, whispered in my ear, handing me the letter. It was white, with a big heart and fancy lettering all over it.

"Put it in my locker for me, will ya, Tidus?" I waved my hand toward the lunchroom door as Tidus nodded his head and left.

"You know if I didn't know any better, I could have like sworn that Tidus has like a crush on you." Rikku commented, looking at the door.

"Probably not…" I'm not saying Tidus wasn't that bad looking because he wasn't; it's just not true. I don't have justified evidence anyway…

All great, now I see that bitch Namine laughing with her little group. Makes me sick…Wait…

"Hey girls, I think I have an idea."

"Oh god…"

-After School-

"All right, I called my mom and she's a-ok with it." Kairi was waving her hands happily in the air with excitement.

"Okay then, let's get a move on." Roxas turned his heels and started walking as everyone else proceeded behind him.

"Oh wait, I think I left something in my locker." Kairi stated, hitting herself for forgetting her writing journal.

"Oh well, I'll come with you. You guys can go on ahead of us; we'll catch up." Sora pumped his fist and grabbed Kairi's hand before walking back toward the school. Everyone else looked and started to walk except a bashful silver head.

"Riku, are you ok? You look aggravated." Roxas walked and stood beside him, curiously looking at Riku.

"Hmmm…oh uh, it's nothing. I just spaced out for a second." I have a bad feeling about this…I don't know if it's because of Sora or my overactive imagination.

"You sure about that? You look like you are-"

"Come on guys, let's get going. I want to try a round of DDR before everyone else gets back." Namine smiled at her brother and friend (or should we say crush?) before they shrugged and started walking again. Something is definitely up with that look…or maybe I'm just going crazy. Roxas, stop overthinking…

-Back at School-

"Hey Kairi, did you find it?" Sora was panting from following Kairi around the school. School is getting bigger everyday!

"Yeah, I'm ready to go. Just let me fix my locker." She pointed toward the trashed place that used to be called a floor (Junkie lockers are common, folks).

"Ok. I'm going to head to the bathroom; I think my bladder just sent a 911 for that extra milk." Sora smiled before sprinting toward the closest bathroom.

"Ok!" Sora, he sure is so different…I wonder so much. Kairi was indulging herself in her teenaged mind before she noticed footstops coming toward where she was.

What's that? I don't think anyone would be inside at this hour besides Sora and I…unless Junior or Senior Cabinet have something planned. Maybe it's just the wind or a random stray. She told herself as she picked up her loose math homework.

"Kairi Myaka, just who we were like looking for…" Kairi turned and saw the females standing before her.

"Rikku, Yuna…what do you want? Aren't you supposed to be hanging out with Selphie, Queen of Bitches?" Kairi glared at the girls, hoping that would scare them off. I hope Sora comes back soon, I don't want to deal with these idiots right now.

"Woah, Kairi, we come in peace. We just came to ask you a question about Roxas? You know, from woman to woman." Rikku was circling around Kairi, with a investigative smirk on her face.

"Whatever question it is, I'm not answering." Kairi retorted, finishing with her locker and slamming it shut.

"Can't you just answer one little question?" Rikku was poking with Kairi now, hoping to get an answer; one way or another.

"I said NO. I know this involves Selphie somehow and if it involves that bitch, I want nothing to do with it." Anger was overwhelming Kairi after hearing them ask her again.

"Oh seems like someone's bitter…" Yuna shot back, trying to create a look of mercy.

"Hey Kairi, I'm back! The bathroom was a long way but I found it eventua…oh hey, girls…" Sora stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the looks of everyone. Anger, Smirks, and more anger; that equals into bad, bad and nothing but bad.

"Hey Sora! Well, we were just saying hi to Kairi." Yuna said, snapping and smiling as she walked alongside Rikku away.

"Those bitches…I just can't stand them…" "Kairi, are you ok?" Sora snapped Kairi out of her thoughts as she turned around with a smile.

"Everything is fine…just fine."

-Meanwhile back at Hikari Resident-

"Draw ten, Roxas"

"You jerks. That was dirty tag-teaming on me." Roxas stuck his tongue out looking at his Uno cards with sadness.

"Cry me a river, Roxas. Cry me a river." Riku started singing the song before Roxas punched his shoulder.

"Let's see, Draw four! Uno-OUT!" Riku jumped and punched the air. Boo-yah! Badass Uno player!

"That's a great way to turn against your partner." Namine commented, picking out her cards from the deck.

"Every man or woman for himself…or herself." He hit his chest like King Kong.

"I think Kairi was right; Crack does kill Riku. What's the color?" Roxas looked at his gorilla sized friend.

"Blue, for you two. I'm going into the kitchen. The master is hungry!" Riku pointed in the air and ran as fast as he could toward the kitchen.

"Riku hasn't changed a bit. Still as stupid and crazy as ever." Roxas snorted, putting his blue 6 card down.

"Always is and always will be." Namine looked toward the kitchen, watching Riku with question on his moonwalk. Silence was followed as Roxas and Namine continued their game of Uno. It felt weird for them for some reason (Can't say we don't know why)…that is until Roxas decided to ask something.

"Namine, can I ask you a quick question?"

"Oh sure, go ahead."

Ok, time to take a long shot. Here goes, Roxas. "Well, do you…you know…like someone?"

"What do you mean "like someone"? As in like or like like?" Namine squeaked alittle, her heart was beating a bit too fast for her comfort.

"Like Like, I guess…do you like anyone?"

"Uh, well I suppose you could say that. Why do you ask? …Do you like someone?" Namine questioned, looking at him inquistively. Does he like someone I know or maybe…

"Just a random question…and yeah, I do."I hope she doesn't guess it's her…please God.

"Is it someone I know? Maybe I can help you?" Namine asked. Maybe it's…

"You could say that and maybe you could…" You could a LOT.

"Can you…tell me…if you're comfortable with telling me that is…I don't want you to tell me unless you're completely comfortable about it…" I am freaking out here…oh my goodness.

"No, I'm comfortable. I mean, it's not a big deal…really. Well, the person-"

"ROXAS, Kairi and Sora are back! How do you open this damn door?" Damnit Riku!

"Namine, I'll be back." Roxas stood up and ran toward the door cursing Riku mentally and almost loudly.

"Oh…OK!" Namine looked at her remaining cards; a blue two and a red two.

Two cards of two; Roxas, is it me you like?

So, how do you like dem apples? I used so many pop culture references in this chapter so if you can identify them, you get a internet cookie (complete with a sugary icing topping).

As for Selphie, it look as if something happened between Kairi and her; what exactly…is what you'll find out soon enough. It also looks as if Namine and Roxas are about to realize their lovely secrets to each other!

Roxas & Namine: -Blushing- Oh boy…

Liked it? Loved it? Want to drop your opinion for me?

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for Chapter 11!
