Now it's time to get a little anger stirred up because of the newcomer! Roxas also makes an appearance here :) And...for those of you who have no idea what Satoshi looks like, a good thing to do is look up in Google or Yahoo! images by searching "Satoshi," "Satoshi D.N. Angel," or "Satoshi Hiwatari."
Enjoy the chapter!
Is Love Joy or Sorrow?
Chap. 22 Who's the New Guy?
"The name's Satoshi. Satoshi Hiwatari."
Tidus was ticked, Well this Satoshi guy better not make any sudden moves on my gal.
He pulled Sora over to the side while the girls were still chatting.
"I don't like this. I don't like this one bit."
Sora put a hand on Tidus' shoulder, "Hey, don't worry about it! You're getting a little too steamed about the situation. It'll be fine."
"Fine? Fine! Just see how fine it will be when Kairi starts liking him!"
"Ha! Whatever, Tidus. There's no way she will ever-"
"Hey, Satoshi!" Kairi wanted to ask him something, "I'm guessing your pretty good at math, right?"
Sora was stunned, "...like him."
She wondered, "Can you help me with my homework today after school?"
"Sure," Satoshi answered her, "if you like."
Kairi smiled a big toothy grin and ran over to Sora.
"Hey, Sora, about our date tonight...can we do it tomorrow instead?"
"What!...I-I mean...why?"
"I was kind of...going to study with Satoshi later. Remember, he's a college graduate, so he can help me out a lot!"
"Oh, yeah. I...I guess it's no problem."
"Thank you, Sora!" she jumped up to hug him and kissed him on the cheek.
This can't be happening...Sora thought to himself, I could help her study, too...right?
Kairi continued, "I'm going to class. See you guys later."
"Okay...bye," Sora sighed as he watched her walk away.
Tidus loomed behind him and whispered, "See. I told you so."

Riku walked with Natalie down the hall the next day, since she had finally recovered from surgery.
"I can't believe I'm saying this," Natalie turned to look at Riku, "...I'm glad to be back at school."
He just laughed, "Really? I don't think I'd ever say that."
"That's what I thought so, too. But, after what happened to me I've learned to take my education seriously."
"Well," Riku took her hand, "I'm just glad you're okay."
"Me, too...Oh?"
Natalie had glanced over to the left, seeing Satoshi getting books from his locker.
"Heeeeeey...Who's that? He's really hott!"
Riku stopped dead in his tracks and gave her a look, "Excuse me?"
"Eeep! I...uh..." Natalie stuttered in embarrassment, "...What I meant to say was: 'Who's that guy over there who's hott but could never be as cute and handsome as my boyfriend, Riku?' " she smiled sheepishly.
"That's better."
"Um...maybe we should still introduce ourselves."
"Okay...sure," Riku reluctantly agreed, I can't believe she said that about him...
Natalie greeted him first, "Hi there, are you a new student?"
Of course he is, Captain Obvious, Riku chuckled to himself.
Satoshi replied, "Yes, I am. The name's Satoshi."
"Well, my name is Natalie and this is my boyfriend, Riku."
Riku shook his hand, regrettably, "Hi there..." and then he realized something, "Oh, so I'm guessing you're the new foreign exchange student Sora told me about."
"You both know Sora and the others?"
"Yep!" Natalie confirmed, "We hang out with them all the time!"
"I...hope you don't mind," he added, "but may I ask why you have that cast on your arm?"
"Oh, it's okay. I got, um...hit by a car and was in the hospital for a few days."
"I'm guessing that Riku took good care of you."
Riku was stunned that he said that, "Uh..." I didn't know he could be that considerate...
"He sure did!" Natalie grinned.
Riku took her hand again, "It was nice to meet you, Satoshi, but we need to get to class."
"I understand. Nice to meet you two as well."
As they walked away, Natalie asked Riku, "Are you okay with him being here? I'm really sorry about the comment I made earlier."
"It's alright."
"Besides, you know I love you and only you."
He looked down at her happily, "Right."

"Roxas!" Namine' ran over to her boyfriend as they embraced.
"How was school today?" he wondered.
"Oh, you know. Same old, same old."
"So...are you ready for tonight?"
"Tonight?" Namine' was puzzled, "What about it?"
"Nothing much...just a little surprise I have ready because-"
"You remembered!"
"Of course," Roxas was surprised she would think he forgot, "It's been exactly one year since our first date."
"So, lover boy..." she teased, "What's in store for me?"
"You'll just have to wait. Now...are you ready to go? Our date can start right now if you like," he kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"How could I refuse such an offer?"
They were about to lock lips when-
"Aaaaah!"
Their heads both jerked over, hearing the loud shrieks of girls by the sidewalk.
Namine' cheered as well, "It's Satoshi!"
Roxas was very interested in this person all of a sudden, "WHO?"
"He's the foreign exchange student who's staying for the rest of the year!" she sighed, "Isn't he charming?"
"Feh...What so special about him?" he crossed his arms.
Namine' added, "He already graduated from college and is a police commander in Japan."
"So! I could be...I mean...uh," he couldn't think of what to say in his defense.
"Roxas?" Namine' smirked, "Are you...jealous?"
"What? Me? No! Who would be jealous of him! Why does everyone think he's 'all that' anyway?"
She put her arms around him, "Don't worry. No one could ever take your place."
Roxas was a bit relieved now, "Same with you."
He leaned in and kissed her, but they were soon interrupted AGAIN.
"Namine'!" Selphie called her over.
"Just a sec! I'll be back Roxas, hold on," she ran over to talk.
Hmmm...wonder what's up, Roxas thought to himself.
In only a minute or so, Namine' ran back and told him the info.
She seemed very enthusiastic.
"Guess what? Kairi, Natalie, Selphie, and I are going to have a study group with Satoshi today!"
"WHAT!"
