I'm really, really sorry I didn't update sooner but I could get on the computer for that long! I feel terrible for not updating, I'll try to update sooner in the future. By the way, thank you to all my reviews! They make me happy.

Reviews:

Paine-Warrior-Luvr: Aww, thank you, I'm so glad that you like it!

DarkenedPetals: Thank you to you to, I'm happy that you like it!

Yay. I'm sooo happy. Not. Like I want to go back to school. If I had to eat maggots or go to school, I think you know what I would choose. Yum, yum!

So, I'm guessing what you want to know what my wonderful school uniform looks like. Well, I wear a white shirt with a navy blue tie, a navy skirt, dark blue jumper, long white socks, black pumps and a navy blazer with the school badge stitched onto the top left pocket.

I wish it could be own clothes but that would be too kind, wouldn't it! Actually, that wouldn't be cool because then Leblanc would find more ways to make my life terrible. My clothes aren't that great.

"Yuna, are you nearly ready? It's nearly time to leave."

"Coming mum!"

The ride on the ferry wasn't too nice, A. because I sat on my own (no difference there), B. because the weather was rubbish, C. because I nearly had my bag chucked over the railings (blame you know who). Personally, I hate my ride from Kilika to Luca because most of the popular/mean people live there for a tropical lifestyle because Luca is sooo busy and Besaid is a long way from Luca.

Also, the walk to school from the ferry terminal was not the most pleasant. The one morning I'd bothered to make my hair look fabulous, it has to bucket it down with rain, thus wrecking my hair. My once straight hair was now a big messy plop on top of my head. Great.

Geography

"Now today we are going to learn about the….Mi'hen highroad!"

"Ohhhh…….." everybody sighed

"Psssst….Yuna, Yuna…….wake on Yuna!" Paine whispered down my ear

"Chocobo's are my frien- wha-?" I said dreamily

"Yuna Li, explain why you have deiced that you can sleep through geography? I don't think we're off to a good start are we, Yuna."

"Errrrr…. N-no Mr.Hage." I stammered

"Hmmm, I expect you not to do it again."

"Yes Mr.Hage."

"Right, now we got that dealt with, let us go back to the Mi'Hen highroad. There is some amazing ruins there…." Mr.Hage continued

Ever since that day, Mr.Hage has hated me. Ok, so I did fall asleep in his class, so I had it coming but that doesn't mean to hate me all year round. Evvvvvvil meanie as Rikku would say.

"Now, in for Monday, your homework essay on wildlife in the Mi'Hen highroad." Mr.Hage announced

Everybody at that point groaned. I mean, who wants to do an essay on there first day back! He seriously needs to remember what it was like for him at school. He just treats us badly! Evil. Really evil.

"I want at least four full pages of descriptions, diagrams and explanations. But remember, have fun!" Mr.Hage said over everyone's groans

Have fun? Have fun, ya face! Man, he is one annoying person! How ever did he become a teacher! Believe me, he is so crap it's untrue. Anyway, I so did not listen to a word in that lesson. Damn. Thank Yeven for the internet.

"Hey Yuna, good way to annoy him!" Paine said

"Oh, yeah, thanks!" I stammered

"Hey, you're in my ict class, wanna go there?"

"Errr, yeah, lets go."

"Why are you acting weird?" Paine laughed

I will tell you why, well I have never had anyone in this school say anything kind to me before. In addition, I hate talking to people I am who are not my good friends. Did I just blurt that all out? Damn.

"Nice comeback, shortie."

Leblanc, can you just go away please, or if you want me to put that in nastier words, I will. Wreck my chance of making friends by telling them about some thing I did in year two that you still remember because it was hilarious for you. Thanks a lot.

"Oh, look who it is, little Miss Emo!" Leblanc sneered

"Ha, ha, look at her!" Goona echoed after her

"Shut up, slut." Paine returned

"Ohhhh, little Miss Emo knows some nasty words!"

"Didn't I just tell you to-?

"Well lady's, what's going on here?"

Oh great, Mrs.Barba coming into the fray. She will just give me a detention for being here, Paine using "un lady like" words and Leblanc will be let off because they are her favourite pupils.

"Oh, Paine just started having a go at me….I think it's because I like pink." Leblanc lied

"Wha-

"Miss Leong, why do you feel you have to take your inner anger out on poor Leblanc?" Mrs.Barba replied

"I said no such thing, she's liein-

"That's enough Miss Leong!"

"Bu-

"I hate to do this but detention, both of you!"

Right, we believe you; you really hate giving out detention don't you. So why do you always dump Paine and me with one? She is horrible, well we only; never do her homework, skip some of her classes and answer back. Ok, I can see the reason why.

"Are you all right?" I asked

"Sure, what did you expect?" Paine answered

"Nothing."

"You're funny, has anybody told you that?"

"Hey!"

"Don't take it personally!"

All that day, Paine and I became closer friends. As we sat next to each other in most of our lessons, we talked a lot. She talked about her out of school friends, Baralai, Gippal and Nooj. She said how one of them has been her crush for a long time. When I asked, Paine refused to speck.

Paine offered to let me meet them. Would I be making new friends, I wondered. Hope it does, I thought. They do sound ever so friendly. Paine lives in Kilika but has hated Leblanc ever since she was ten. Leblanc pushed Paine out of her gang when Paine started making friends with the boys. One thing I could not believe was that Paine had been in Leblanc's gang. Scary thought!

After School

"Errr, Paine, if you don't mind me asking, where are we going?" I asked, feeling anxious

"You'll see soon enough!" Paine answered, with a mischievous look on her face

"Oh, right." I said, still worried

Ok, where in Spira was she taking me? Paine mentioned a secret place but I was in the middle of Kilika woods. I she got lost or if I lost her we're were I for it.

"You're worried, aren't you." Paine said

"No, I am just wondering where about you are taking." I said, looking more worried

"We're nearly there, don't worry!"

"Paine, there you are!" A soft voice said

"Took ya time! Who's with you?" A deeper voice said

Then, I found myself walking down a little path towards some logs with three boys sitting on them. They all looked up when Paine and I entered. As I passed each one of them, they looked up and down at me. Was I that interesting.

"Guy's, this is Yuna. She has no school mates so I thought she could be friends with us!" Paine announced

"H-h-hiya." I stammered

"Oh hey, I'm Gippal, better know as da Gip!" The Al Bhed said, with a goofy grin on his face

"I'm Nooj." The one refusing to look at me said

"My name's Baralai, the geeky one." The white haired one finished

"You're not geeky 'lai." Everybody corrected him

"Come on guys, be a bit more inviting!" Gippal said

"She's not joining us so why should we?" Nooj stated, still looking away

"Paine, I thought she was." Gippal questioned

"Yuna is Nooj got it all wrong." Paine said dryly

"Ok, why now though?" Nooj asked

"Because I haven't been in many of Yuna's classes the past few years. Is that reason good enough Nooj."

"Yeah."

"Good."

"I should get going; well it's been nic-

"No stay Yuna!" Paine, Baralai and Gippal pleaded

"But I need t-

"Just ring your parents." Gippal suggested

"Ok, I will." I said

I rang my mum; she was pleased I had finally made friends with someone from school but annoyed because dad would be coming home in two hours time. After some pleading, she let me stay for one more hour.

"So, what did your mum say?" Paine asked

"One more hour, then I really have to go." I replied

"Alriggggght!" Gippal shouted with glee

Ha, ha, he is just like Rikku. They would be perfect for each other. Next time she comes, I will show him to her. Hmmmm, I wonder who is Paine's crush. Quiet and deep Baralai, Cocky and funny Gippal or secretive and unfriendly Nooj? Damn, it was so hard to tell!

"Yo, Dr.P, what's your next master plan on how to prank Leblan-

"Gippal, how dare you talk about Leblanc like that!" Nooj exclaimed

"Not again!" Baralai moaned, with his head in his hands

"Whoa, somebody is touchy on the subject of Leblanc!" Gippal taunted

"Stop it Gippal, Leblanc is perfectly fine, thank-you!" Nooj shouted, blushing

"Ohhhh, so that's how it is! Nooj lovvvves Leblanc!" Gippal taunting even more

"Gippa-

"Leblanc and Nooj sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Gippal said, pushing it to the limits

"Gippal shut up! Why can't I like Leblanc, huh, HUH!" Nooj shouted, now standing and bright red

"Ha, ha I'm s-

"Gippal, you've dug to deep, I don't feel like being here anymore!" Nooj shouted in Gippal's face

"Nooj, please, Nooj, don't go!" Paine pleaded

"No Paine!"

"Come on Nooj, Gippal was just acting like a jerk!" Baralai added

"Yeah, we all know that!"

Then Nooj just upped and left, leaving me, Paine and Baralai to stare at Gippal. He knew we were all fuming with him but still, he looked up at us and gave us the goofiest grin he could possibly do.

"Gippal, what were you playing at back there?" Baralai questioned Gippal

"It was a joke, ok; loosen up 'lai." Gippal said, grinning

"Loosen up! Loosen up! You always do this."

"Yeah, well, it's funny."

"No, it's not funny Gip, its stupid."

There argument went on for a very long time. Paine just stood there, watching them shout in each other's faces, while she said nothing. This probably happens all the time, I thought but I could not just stand there! I had to do something or they will not shut up.

"Hey you two, cut it out!" I shouted, standing in between them

"Yuna, don't." Paine whispered in my ear

"No, Gippal, Baralai, there's no point fighting about it. And Gippal, I wasn't the right thing to do by taunting Nooj." I said, talking control

"I see your point." Baralai spoke up

"Yeah me to….Sorry guys." Gippal added

"Now that's over how abou-

"Sorry Paine but I really have to go." I interrupted

"Oh, well bye then. Did we exchange numbers?"

"Yep, we did."

"That's good, bye, see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, you to, bye!"

Except for the Nooj/Gippal incident, they all seemed nice and good friends. Finally, someone who likes me in school! Paine seems kind enough so why does everyone leave her out and give her strange looks. Some people!

After getting off the ferry, I walked across the golden sand that covered the beach. I looked across the horizon to see the gorgeous pinkie purple sky. Besaid is a truly beautiful place; I love it, more than I have ever loved Bevelle.

It took me about fifteen minutes to walk to the monument on top of Besaid hill. The one where I have to pray to everyday. The one where my other friends like to hang out. Damn.

"Hey Yuna, where've you been all this time?" Gatta said, noticing me walking towards him

They were all heading back to the village for dinner or to do there homework. Then Gatta went back to collect his bag when he saw me strolling up the hill.

"Erm, I was…." I began

How should I tell him? The others would get so annoyed with me. They do not like me mixing with anyone but them, selfish really. I was a bit selfish to because I forgot we were going to all meet up and talk about how today went. I could not tell them that I forgot!

"Erm, yeah, I was getting help from Paine on my essay." I lied

Not.

"For two hours?" Lulu said, with a puzzled look on her face

"Yeah, two hours, they take along time." I lied more

"We could have helped, Yuna."

"Lu, Paine's in my class, she heard what Mr.Hage said about the Mi'hen highroad."

"I learnt that when I was I year ten." Luzzu chipped in

"How was I meant to know?" I shouted without meaning to

"What's with ya Yuna, eh? They're only trying to help." Wakka said, trying to comfort me

"I-I've got to go, bye."

Then I walked off. I felt so bad about leaving like that. It was true, they were only trying to help and they did not know I had a secret. I am still glad I told them later about my new friends, they would freaked if I told them then.

"What's with her?" I heard Lulu ask Gatta

"Beat's me!" He said back

"Yuna, there you are. I was beginning to get worried about you." My mum said as I entered my house

"When's dad home?" I asked

"He's right behind you Yuna!"

"What, really?"

"Oh darling, look how much you've grown!"

"Father!"

I was so happy he was home. He never has time to come back from Bevelle or Zanarkand. Now, he was back where he belonged, home. Yes, home.

"I've two pieces of news's for you, Yuna." My father began

"Really, what is it?"

"It's that your co-

-Beep, beep-

Why at that moment did someone have to interrupt my father's news? Oh, poop up my perfect moment! Meanie (Now I am starting to sound like Rikku)!

Hey,

Its me, Paine. Sorry if ive interrupted n e think.

Can u meet up at the same place 2morrow?

Plz come, 'Lai, Gip & Nooj will be there.

Do not worry bout Nooj, hes always like

that. C u 2morrow.

Byez,

Paine xxx

Oh, it was just Paine! She is great as a friend to me and we have literally just met. I hope Nooj doe's loosen up or he and Gippal will keep on fighting. That would be terrible.

"Yuna, Teas ready!"

"Just coming."
