A/N-wow thanks for the reviews guys! I was expecting like…two. So six was a nice surprise, especially for such a short chapter. This one isn't quite as short, but it's not exactly as long as I'd like either. But I figured since I wrote it pretty fast that you guys wouldn't be too mad. Anyway, on with chapter 2.

Yuna sat on her small balcony, watching the water from her pool ripple ceaselessly from the small waterfall feeding into it. It had been a week since Rikku had proposed the idea of Yuna tutoring Tidus, and despite Rikku's constant reassurances that everything was taken care of, Yuna still felt apprehensive. What if it all fell through and she'd have to find another typical girly way of getting him to notice her? Yuna wasn't stupid, she had seen every attempt to get with Tidus that existed. She had been to every party, every blitzball game and it was always the same. The same girls wearing the same clothes with the same objective; Tidus. And it always ended up with some meaningless two or three week relationship.

Yuna rolled her neck until she heard it crack, releasing some of the built up tension from the past week. She sighed deeply into the warm night air. Their house was set slightly away from the rest of the neighborhoods built outside of Zanarkand's city limits. Thanks to her father's forward thinking, she could enjoy the night sky without all the light pollution blocking her view.

"Yuna." Yuna turned to see her father halfway through her doorway, holding the phone in his hand. "It's for you, sweetie."

"Thanks dad," she said, walking through her double doors and into her room to take the phone from her father. "Hello?" Yuna prayed that it was Rikku, maybe she could give her some insight to the whole Tidus situation…like there even is a situation, Yuna thought bitterly.

"Hey, this is Tidus…Wakka told me to call this number if I was 'looking for a good time.'"

Yuna let her mouth drop, and after several seconds of agonizing silence, she heard a trickle of laughter filter through to her end of the phone.

"Sorry, just a joke. He actually told me to call you because you needed someone to help you in French."

If his first statement had been a shock, it was nothing compared to what she was feeling now. "Wha-what? Excuse me?"

"You need tutoring?" the voice on the other end of the line contained a hint of uncertainty.

"Who told you this again?"

"Wakka. He just gave me your number and told me to call you because Rikku said you were struggling."

Yuna closed her eyes and sighed inwardly, how could Rikku do this to her? Aside from not needing any tutoring in foreign language, she was the one that was supposed to be doing the helping, not the other way around!

"He might have been misinformed," she said slowly.

"So…you don't need help? Because now that I'm on academic probation I'm pretty much free whenever." Yuna could definitely hear a distinct note of bitterness in his voice as he said this. It did clear up a couple things though, if he was already suspended from playing, Rikku would've had to have come up with something else to get them together. But that still doesn't explain why Rikku didn't tell her about it…

"Why were you suspended?" she asked, even though she knew the answer. She still had to play it out like this was all new to her.

"Low test scores in math. Algebra 2, if you want to know the details."

"Hey, you know I'm in that class too," She said nonchalantly. "I can help you study if you want." Yess, score one for Yuna.

"Yeah…that might be a good idea. But hey, I thought I was the one that's supposed to be helping you." My thoughts exactly.

"We can do both," Yuna said in a dismissive manner. She'd just have to dumb down a little bit when he was speaking French to her.

"Alright, well how's about Thursday at 7. Is your place okay?"

"Er, yeah, that's fine."

"Alright, seeya then." And with a click he was gone.

Yuna sat in front of her computer, occasionally typing a sentence or two, but otherwise too distracted to write anything of real meaning for her Spirian History essay. She kept thinking that in less than 24 hours Tidus was going to be in her room. Tidus. In her room. Preferably without any clothes….

"Ack!" Yuna shook her head forcibly and pushed herself away from her computer and onto her bed with a soft 'umph.'

What is wrong with her? She was acting exactly like all the girls that she made fun of…and it was killing her! She couldn't afford to trip over her words just because of him. She couldn't afford to be smiling like an idiot the entire time either. That'd be waaay too obvious, it's not like she'd get that giddy over homework.

Yuna squeezed a pillow over her head, trying desperately not to feel nauseous. She didn't remove it when she heard a knock.

"Yuna? It's me, can I come in?" her father asked from behind her door.

"Yeah," she said, though slightly muffled.

"Hey." She heard him open the door and walk over to her bed and sit down. He gently pulled the pillow off her face. "I'm having a little get together tomorrow night and I need you home, okay?"

"Tomorrow? Dad, I told you that's when Tidus is coming over," she said slightly exasperated. She loved her dad dearly, but sometimes he just didn't listen.

"Oh, well then just invite him over for dinner and then you two can study."

"But dad-" she began but he stood and cut her off.

"It'll be fun," he began to exit her room. "Now get some sleep, dear." He said over his shoulder, turning the light off before he shut her door.

"But, dad…." Yuna turned to look at her clock. "It's only 8."

A/N-Okay..so they probably wouldn't have French in Spira, but for the sake of the storyline will you guys let it slide? Thanks, and again, please review!
