It's chapter 3! Oh my God, will Namine be more than happy to see Kairi? Or will she chew her out completely? Muahhah, find out!

So enjoy :)

Chapter 3: Wish

*Namine's POV*

Oh my God. I wish I knew Kairi went to this school! Then I would've never come here! I wonder if my parents knew. Maybe they didn't, after all, this is the closest school to our house.

But anyway, now Kairi and I have gym together? Of all classes, why gym?

"Namine, oh my God! It's so good to see you." I could see she was about to cry, but I didn't care. She was coming closer to me, holding her arms out. I quickly moved out of the way, and she looked at me confused.

"Nami, don't you remember me?"

I looked down, and then glared so coldly into her eyes, "Do I remember you? How could I forget? You shattered my heart with a single letter!" I exclaimed, so loudly that she flinched. Everyone began staring at us. I shifted on one foot, even though I was so angry, I still didn't like being the center of attention.

She looked at me and then closed her eyes, "Namine, I am really sorry about that. And I mean it. But come on, are you saying you haven't moved on and found better friends?" I shook my head, and to my surprise, she laughed, "Do you honestly expect me to believe that the great Namine Strife made no new friends?"

"You know what? Yes I did make new friends. I was friends with everyone in the school. You want to know why? Because who wouldn't want to be friends with, or at least talk to me? You were my only true friend! You didn't become friends with me for popularity or my money. You became friends with me for me! And that meant so much to me!

"So yes Kairi, I made no true friends after you left. All I had were those bitches who were just trying to use me. And then, to get such a hurtful letter from my best friend? That shattered me to a million pieces. Especially because of the reason! Kairi, it was because of that reason. And I thought about our friendship every day! I tried to figure out why you suddenly hated me.

"But you know what? Forget about all of that. I wonder, did you even think about me?" I took a deep breath, realizing I didn't once take one during my little 'speech'. I coughed a bit, I haven't ever talked that loud for such a long time. It made my throat hurt.

She shook my head so her bangs would cover her face. Her huge silence gave her answer away, but still she spoke, "…I've been busy." And then I broke down. I didn't care what people said about me. Namine Strife was a human, and all humans cried, and none of them were perfect.

Tears poured down my cheeks, dripping onto the gym floor. I just wanted to go home. I wanted this to be a dream. I wanted to wake up!

I turned away, unable to face Kairi anymore. But she yanked on my arm, forcing me to face her. "No Nami, please. You're right, I'm, like, the worst person. You should slap me in the face. Or punch me. Or whatever. Nami, I deserve it."

I saw tears in her eyes. I never liked seeing people cry, it made me want to cry. And even though I hated Kairi so much, I felt a pang in my heart for making her cry.

I yanked my arm back, "God that sounds so tempting right now. But no, I'm better than that. Punching you isn't going to fix anything Kairi, and besides, who punches someone on their birthday?"

Tears began to fall rapidly down her cheeks. I was shocked at myself. I didn't know I still remembered her birthday. That just came out of my mouth, I didn't even think about it. I wondered if she remembered mine, then inwardly chuckled. Of course not, why would she?

"Namine, I'm so sorry." She was shaking violently and little bit of her eyeliner began to smudge. This is why I wear waterproof make up. Then I began to wonder if my make up was smudging.

We sat next to each other against the wall. The teacher was afraid that if we played basketball, we would probably try to kill each other. So instead, she decided it would be better to seat us next to each other, but in a place where she could see us.

It was such a heavy silence. I kept shifting uncomfortably, not knowing what to say. And I knew people were watching us, making me even more nervous. I was twiddling my thumb. What could I say?

"Hey Namine?"

I looked at her, and I noticed she refused to look at me.

"Um, do you want to hang out with me and my friends after school? I think they are doing something for my birthday. It would be amazing if you came.

She flinched as I glared at her. Good. "I hate being near you right now, so what would make you think I would want to see you after school." I saw the hurt in her eyes, and regretted what I said. But it was out of anger, and honestly? She deserved it.

The bell rang and she pretty much ran to the door. I decided to wait a few seconds after she left. The last thing I wanted was to see her in the hallway.

The entire period I was just wishing she would shut up, but she never did. I really hope that Gym is the only class I have with her. But then I realized, she was Sora's girlfriend. Didn't Sora say she was in a few of my other classes? Dandy, just freaking dandy.

My anatomy class was on the third floor, so I went up the first staircase I saw, and to my surprise, it stopped at the second floor. I tried to keep it cool, but inside, I was panicking. Where was I? How do I get to the third floor? Was there even a third floor? Was my schedule printed wrong?

Oh. My. God.

I decided to go back to the first floor, think I would have better luck down there.

I began to notice the hallways were emptying, and I still didn't know where the third floor was. I heard someone yell and decided to follow the voice, hoping I could get help. But of course, with my horrible luck, I just got even more lost and decided to just make a random turn, I felt myself suddenly getting pinned to the wall.

*Xion's POV*

I walked into my anatomy class, two seconds before the late bell rang. I went to my desk and sat down, taking out my books. My brother was always late, so he not being here yet was no surprise.

Sora had texted me a little while ago that Namine Strife would be in this class. I got super excited. Namine was my fashion idol! She looked amazing in every article of clothing, and I knew she had her future job of modeling ahead of her. It made me wonder why she even came to school. Why would you need school to pose in clothes and stay skinny and beautiful?

He also told me not to treat her like everyone else, that she never had many real friends who didn't just want a free ticket to popularity. It made me feel bad for her. So I agreed, besides, the way Sora described her, she seemed really nice.

I looked at the door, wondering where she was. Then again, this was her first day. She should be here in about ten minutes.

But when those ten minutes passed and neither Namine nor Roxas were here, I began to get worried.

*Namine's POV*

"Oof!" I exclaimed as my back hit the wall. "And who are you?" I heard a seductive voice ask me. I looked at him. He had blonde hair that seemed to spike more to the right. His eyes were a cerulean blue, kind of like Sora's. I began to wonder, was this brother?

"Who do you think I am?" I retorted. Honestly, who didn't know me?

"Namine Strife? I heard you would be coming, but I never would've imagined those rumors were true. I'm Roxas Fair." He looked at me, waiting for a response. Was I supposed to be disgusted? Or was he some God in this school and I was supposed to faint?

I rolled my eyes, whoever this guy was, he was testing my patience. 'Listen, I don't know, or care for that matter, who you are. But I like my personal space and you're kind of ruining that for me. So if you don't mind…"

"Are you kidding? I'm Roxas Strife!"

I widened my eyes, "Oh my God. You're Roxas Strife? As in, the Roxas Strife? The world famous…" I saw his blank stare and realized my guesses were not even close, "yeah, I have no idea who you are."

He rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding? I rule this school, well my friends do to, but every girl knows me. I know every sexy girl in this school, so there is no way I could not know you." I rolled my eyes, my first impression of this guy?

He was so lame, and used even lamer clichés.

He leaned in closer, was he about to kiss me? I tried to lean back and avoid him, but I was up against the wall. I turned my head, suddenly finding the roof interesting. Roxas chuckled, cupping my chin and pressing his lips against mine.

Even though I hated this Roxas, but I had to admit, he was a good kisser. Andhe smelled really good. But I was frozen, why wasn't I pushing him away? Why don't I just step on him? I'm wearing heel's for Pete's sake! I put my hands on his chest, but he must've taken it the wrong way, pushing me deeper in the wall.

I opened my mouth to attempt a scream, and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue in my mouth. I felt him explore every inch of my mouth, and I had to say, I kind of enjoyed it. Then I mentally slapped myself. Namine! What are you doing? You don't just kiss random guys who pin you to a wall!

Even if that person is cute. And smells really good. And is a good kisser.

He separated from me, and looked at me with a smile. As soon as my senses returned to normal, I slapped him, and the sound echoed throughout the entire hallway. I was proud of myself for leaving a big, beautiful, glowing red mark on his cheek. But just then, I saw a guy who looked to be in his thirties turn the corner and see us. "Hey!" He boomed, coming our way.

"Oh shit," Roxas whispered, "Dean Sephiroth!"

I could tell why he was a dean. I was so scared, I was afraid I might throw up. He had long silver hair, and I was afraid he wrapped it around kids necks and suffocated them. I shuddered, if it was that scary just thinking about it, I wondered what it would be like in real life. I tried to imagine him suffocating Roxas, and Roxas had the big x's on his eyes like they did on cartoons. It made me chuckle.

When he was right in front of us, I decided to put my acting skills to the test. I put on a sweet, sugary smile, "Excuse me sir, but I can't find the third floor. I went up the stairs but I can't find it. Was my schedule printed wrong?"

He took my schedule and looked at it, "No, only two staircases lead to the third floor. Roxas, if you don't want to get another detention, then take this girl to the third floor." Roxas saluted, "Yes sir. That's my class anyway." I frowned, I had a class with this pervert? Just great.

We walked together in silence, I liked it that way. This guy was disgusting, who kisses a random girl? He doesn't even know me and he kissed me because I'm, as he said, sexy. I wonder if it was just because I was Namine Strife.

"So Namine," he started, "I don't regret kissing you. I do it all the time to other girls. But how about you and I go out sometime? I fell something more with you." It was the way he said, it made something in my brain click. I felt like there was something more he wanted.

"I'm a nice guy. Sure, I went out with a lot of girls here. But I treated them right and only gave them what they wanted." People always called me gullible, but I always denied it, even though deep down I knew it was true. So when Roxas said that, I immediately believed him.

I shook my head, trying to hide my blush, "I don't date guys I just meet."

He shrugged, "Fair enough. But come on, two of the most popular people in this school going out? That'll be something to talk about."

I sighed, "Listen, I have people talking about me every day. If you really want to go out with me, you should at least try and get to know me first. And I hope you're not just asking because I'm so famous."

"Whatever." He said, trying to sound uninterested. Something told me otherwise.

I was about to respond, but the next thing I knew, we were in front of the class. When we stepped in, all eyes were on us. I heard some of the stuff they were saying. Great, most of them thought we were already going out. Did they think of me as a whore? I cringed at the thought, I don't want rumors being spread about me on my first day.

I was told to sit next to a girl with short black hair and Roxas."I'm Xion." She said, "I'm his sister." She smiled. I playfully grinned and touched her shoulder, "I'm so sorry for you." She laughed as Roxas frowned, "Yeah, everyone is!" We were laughing as Roxas rolled his eyes.

My first impression of Xion: very nice and acts nothing like her brother. But then again, neither does Sora. Yeah, they told me Sora was their brother.

The bell rang and I went with them to lunch.

"You know, you don't have to do this." I said as they led me to where they sit in lunch. I was confused when we passed the lunch tables and were at the parking lot. I was about to ask, but I saw a group of people around a few cars, so I assumed that was their group of friends.

Uh oh. Why did that red hair seem so familiar?

Oh no.

"Not Kairi." I mumbled. Roxas looked at me, "Do you not like her?" I rolled my eyes, "It's complicated." He didn't ask anymore when we were really close to them.

You know that awkward moment where everyone is looking at you like you're some sort of alien?

Well this was that moment.

No one said anything. No one did anything. It. Was. So. Awkward.

I looked at Kairi, but she was just staring at me with her big blue beady eyes. She looked like she was about to cry, so I turned away. I didn't want their first impression of me to be a whiny crybaby.

"Namine!" I jumped, when I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder. I looked and was happy to see Sora, finally! Someone who I actually talked to. "Hey Sora." I grinned.

"I'm going to introduce you to everyone you see here. That's Axel, he's Kairi's brother. That's Kairi, who is also my beautiful girlfriend. That's Xion and Roxas, my siblings." I wanted to say I knew them already, but I felt like it would be rude to cut him off, "And that's Larxene, Axel's on and off girlfriend."

Woah, when I saw that girl's glare, I felt like ice was stabbing right through me. It was so cold! This girl must really be mean and violent. She was glaring at Sora. I noticed him shiver a little, but otherwise seemed unaffected.

"Demyx is supposed to be here, but I guess he got lost."

"I know Demyx." I said quietly. "How?" The girl, Larxene asked me. I wondered how she knew him, but then again, considering she was Axel's girlfriend she had to know. After all, Demyx and Axel used to be best friends. "He's my, uh, brother." I mumbled. In that second, everyone burst out laughing, especially because he had just found us. Did Demyx not tell them about me? He probably just referred to me as 'my sister'.

The rest of the lunch period was fun. I got to meet Olette, Pence and Hayner. Sure, I couldn't become close with them because they were always going to Kairi, so I just stuck by Demyx. I could tell Kairi wanted to talk to me, but I made sure to ignore her. I almost made eye contact with her, but I had managed to turn away just in time.

The rest of the day was okay for me. I got to talk to Olette more. She's really nice, and its obvious to everyone that she has a crush on Hayner. But I didn't say anything, because I hardly knew her. I was supposed to meet a guy named Riku, but he didn't come in today.

When I went home, I couldn't stop thinking about Kairi's birthday celebration. I wondered if they were having fun. Demyx went, because he just loves parties. So do I, but I just couldn't be around Kairi. It hurt so much during lunch, and I wasn't even looking at her.

To be around her, pretending to be happy and trying, and probably failing, to have fun. I wouldn't be able to last. Thinking about her now made me depressed. Try to imagine me being at a party just for her.

I turned on my Ipod Touch and put it on shuffle. 'Airplanes' by B.O.B. and Hayley Williams began playing.

'Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?'

I looked up.

"I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now." I sang along. If I had a wish, it would be for everything between me and Kairi to go back to normal.

I just wanted my best friend back.

…

Okay that's it for chapter 3. Whew, this took a lot more time than expected. I know not much happened, but this is Namine's first day at school! Not much happened on my first day. So this was more about her feelings. Roxas is will be more persistent later.

And about Namine freaking about the whole staircase thing, that actually happened to me on the first day of my freshman year in high school. I went to the nearest staircase and freaked out when I saw that it didn't lead to the third floor xD In my school, there really are only two staircases that lead to the third floor.

So yeah, leave a review :D And if you have any questions, ask me :D I don't bite, well, sometimes xD
