Notice Me
Chapter 3: Conflict Begins
Normal POV
"Oh hi Seymour," Yuna said nervously as he opened up his arms for an embrace. She gave him a quick hug and let go.
"I haven't seen you all summer beautiful, how was your vacation?" He asked.
She smiled. "It was alright how about yours?"
Seymour's dad, Jyscal and Yuna's father, Braska were old time friends. Yuna knew Seymour for most of High School, but they were not as close as friends. Seymour moved from Guadosalem to Besaid at the start of Freshmen year. He had long blue spiky hair and had 2 bangs in the front and wore a white t-shirt with jeans.
"Eh, Guadosalem was alright. Going home is not bad, though I would have preferred staying here." Yuna nodded. "I heard about you and Shuyin. Good riddance, I think you deserve better than him." Seymour and Shuyin were never the best of friends. Actually they were enemies ever since day one of High School and Seymour never liked the fact that Shuyin dated Yuna.
"No, I think he deserves better than me," Yuna replied sadly.
"No he does not. All he deserves is some whore who can entertain him. You deserve much better, someone with class. Do not blame yourself Yuna, he probably is kicking himself in the balls so hard for ever losing a girl like you." Seymour smiled charmingly.
"Thank you, you really flatter me," She said quietly blushing. Boys always complimented her, but she always seemed to blush every time. "I have to leave now for Lunch to meet up with some of my friends. Do you have Lunch now?"
He shook his head. "I am heading towards class now."
"Oh okay, well nice seeing you again Seymour." She smiled and started leaving. She never seemed real comfortable towards Seymour because they have dated before for a few days, during Sophomore year. She knew somehow that he wanted her back, but technically he broke up with her and they remained friends.
Yuna was paying more attention towards the floor that she did notice that she bumped into somebody. 'Great, what's up with me bumping into everyone today?' She asked herself as she looked up and was startled to see a girl with long black hair there. She had dark skin and wore skimpy clothing.
"Hello Dona," Yuna said smiling slightly. "It's amazing to see you this year."
"And what do you mean by that?" Dona inquired.
Yuna smirked. "What is it a crime to say a nice thing?"
"Cut the act Lesca, we all know your not fooling anybody with your innocent look. Of course, everybody knows who you've been sleeping with," she said smiling at her. "Poor Shuyin, you should be ashamed. He deserved much better than you."
"I am not a whore like you Dona, so I am pretty much clean. I am also not the one who has no life and starts rumors about people," Yuna answered coldly. She knew very well who would have started rumors about her and that would be Dona.
To get back at Yuna for taking Shuyin, Dona wanted to make Yuna's life miserable as hell. She was pretty much happy upon finding out during the summer that they broke up, but was disappointed to hearing that he moved. But on the other hand, Yuna and Shuyin were not together so that made Dona happy. Yuna and Dona have never been friendly with one another and Shuyin was not the only reason they hated each other.
Dona laughed. "You better watch your back Lesca," she said and she left.
"Well then you better watch your front!" Yuna yelled out before Dona can turn to go somewhere else. Yuna smirked and took her bag and left to go to the cafeteria. She never let Dona's words worry her.
She spotted Rikku and Paine with other people at a table and walked towards them. She could see Rikku smiling at her as she smiled back and went towards the seat that was saved for her and sat down.
Tidus' POV
I was bored with all the classes I had so far. Some of them were hard to find, leaving me to being tardy, but this whole school was huge! Not as huge as the school in Zanarkand, but it was still big. There was nothing to do, so I basically slept through mostly all of them. Gippal was in most of my classes, so it was not as boring, but annoying. Every time I tried to fall asleep in Science class, Gippal would either flick a paper clip or throw a paper airplane at me.
I woke up and sent him death glares, showing him that if he would not stop doing that, then I would kick his ass. It seemed like he did not get the memo and kept on doing it. I was so close to jumping out of my chair and totally jumping his ass, but he was so lucky the bell rang.
I actually met a few guys who were into Blitzball as well and they were in some of my classes. One guy who had brown eyes and orange short hair that was up in a weird way was named Wakka. He was in my weaponry class and we were partners for that class. I wondered how his hair defied gravity and thought it was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having it like that, yeah I am just joking right now. The look just suits Wakka. There were other guys I talked to a little during the classes.
Anyways I was pretty happy when the bell rang during 5th period of boredom, signaling lunch. Gippal and I left the room to go to the cafeteria because we had lunch first, than class. Other students from our class had to go to class first and later on go to lunch.
It wasn't hard to find the cafeteria, because I had to go through it to go to some of my classes. We figured to go quickly and buy lunch, before the line would get bigger and we succeeded.
"Hey guys, over here!" Someone shouted as I turned to see the owner of the voice. It was Wakka who was waving at us and we decided to head towards there.
"Hey Wakka!" Gippal and I greeted at the same time taking a seat. There were a few people at the table that I knew. I just waved at everyone and they smiled back. "We're just waiting for Baralai to come so that we can go to the courtyard." Baralai was a friend of Wakka's and he also was a Blitzer. He had silver hair that stuck up like Wakka's, but in a different style.
They came with their lunches in a few seconds and we all got up to go outside. While walking, Baralai turned to me and asked, "So how do you guys like this school so far?"
Gippal shook his head. "It's alright, boring but I don't have to worry about being bored that much." As he said that, there was a girl who passed by us and he stared at her ass.
I sighed, Gippal can never control his horny self and the other guys laughed. "Yeah it's alright," I said sitting on the bench. Gippal was pretty much right, there were many girls who were hot. Some even stared at me during class, but I was pretty much used to it. I am not conceited or anything but when you have good looks like me and was the star player of your old team, you are bound to get noticed.
The food in the cafeteria wasn't bad, I thought that in every movie and show, it seemed that the food would be gross. I kind of liked it and didn't mind. I guess lunch was the only thing that kept me awake throughout the day.
"So you guys were on the Zanarkand Abes?" Yaibal asked in disbelief.
"No, we did not live in Zanarkand and lived in Bunniesville and were part of the Bunny Abes," Gippal said sarcastically while eating some of his fries.
"Jeez sorry but did you have to be so sarcastic?"Yaibal asked.
"Yes," was all Gippal said and I laughed.
"But either way," Wakka started. "We need some good players on the team this year. It's our last year and we want to make it special, so hope you guys can join, ya?"
I nodded. "Well don't you worry because we are trying out, though I still think we don't have to be tested. We're already good!"
"Right," Wakka said rolling his eyes.
"Hey Wakka!" Someone said as I saw the girl, Lulu walk up towards us.
"Hey Lulu!" He said giving her a quick hug. "It's great to see you after so long."
"It only has been summer," she replied.
"I know, but still it has been many weeks. How have you been?"
"Could be better if I wasn't too tired but yeah." With that she greeted everyone and spotted Gippal and me. "Hey you guys are in my English class right?" We nodded. "Oh well welcome to Besaid and I am Lulu, but you probably already know that."
"Thanks and my name is Tidus and this is Gippal," I said as she smiled.
"Sorry for not introducing you guys to her. Yeah Lulu is the best friend a guy can have," Wakka said and then faced Lulu. "Lu can we talk privately?" She nodded and he stood up, so that they can go somewhere else. I wondered if they were dating or something.
Normal POV
"So how are the girls doing?" Wakka asked Lulu.
"They are okay nothing really out of the ordinary," She said.
"And Yuna?"
"She's fine, but..." She bit her lip. "She denies herself way too much and that concerns me." He nodded. Wakka knew Yuna from when they were little kids and were friends. The same went with Rikku, Lulu and Paine. He knew all about what happened with Yuna and was concerned as well as the rest.
"Give her time," he said as Lulu nodded while looking at the ground. "So..." He began saying and she looked up at him. "How are things with you and Bickson?"
"Everything is alright, he went to Zanarkand for the summer and I thought it was great to see him today." Wakka nodded. As much as Wakka did not like Bickson, he did want to show his dislike towards the Blitzer. Bickson used to live in Luca and was part of the Luca Goers and had to move to Besaid a few years ago. He joined the Besaid Aurochs and Wakka had to deal with his stubbornness.
"And you Wakka how is everything?" Lulu asked.
"Everything is alright and I have high hopes that this year will be better than the other ones," He replied back looking like he was in deep thought. "You know how it is, everyone is looking up to the captain and I have to be strong for my team, ya?"
Lulu stared up at the sky. "Give it everything you've got because this is your last year." He nodded. "Maybe there will be a change this year."
He laughed nervously. 'Maybe,' was all he thought in his mind.
Yuna's POV
"I just got you what I got," Rikku stated as I nodded happily. My stomach was hurting me and urging me to eat, so I quickly started eating.
"What took you so long?" Paine asked taking her eyes off the summer reading book to look at me. She was almost finished with the book so that she would not get in trouble in English class. I didn't blame her though, because when your on vacation somewhere else then you don't want to do work. The key word is "vacation." I read the book in August when I had nothing to do and kind of enjoyed it.
I took a bite of my cheeseburger and it seemed like everyone at the table was staring at me. "Met up with the old hag," I answered back as Paine nodded understanding. I would always call Dona an old hag to piss her off. She always did get angry and it was funny to see her reaction.
"She already ruined my day when I had to see her in the hallway," Rikku said eating some French fries.
"Good news though Yuna," Nhadala said. "Mostly many people are ignoring those stupid rumors that were started today."
"I heard a rumor about Shuyin finding out about you having a love affair with him and slept with multiple guys. Who would believe that bullshit?" Calli asked. "I bet you a million dollars that Dona and her friends started them."
"Those bitches have nothing else to do but annoy the crap out of us," Rikku stated getting furious. "Like seriously if they are that bored or have no life, they should get a hobby." I laughed at Rikku's statements and was happy to have Rikku as my best friend and cousin. Rikku would always make me laugh when I am down.
"Can we drop the subject?" Paine asked impatiently and I smiled at her. The best thing about Paine is that she can drop the subject when it's uncomfortable to her or someone else. I did not really want to talk about it and I think Paine could see that.
"Sure Dr. P," Rikku answered as Paine glared at her.
"Where's Lulu?" I asked looking around.
"Probably hanging out with her boyfriend," Rikku stated while rolling her eyes.
I sighed while opening my water bottle. Rikku and I never liked Lulu's boyfriend because we never were comfortable with him. Sometimes Bickson was an ass and every time Lulu would want to hang out with him, he would always cancel. He always neglects her when he is with his friends. Sometimes I wish I can beat the shit out of him, mind my language.
Lulu was happy though and that's what I want for her. She was there for me when I had my own problems with Shuyin and she knew I was happy with Shuyin. I should be happy for her, but I can't. I am scared that he would break her heart and nothing will be the same. Shuyin did not dump me like any ass would, he had to leave and I accepted that. But at times I wish he was still here and holding me. But either way, sometimes I feel like Lulu changed a bit and we don't hang out that much.
The only reason why we hung out a lot over the summer was because he went to Zanarkand for the whole summer. She always constantly calls him and it concerns Rikku and me. They have been dating for a year now and we really thought he was going to dump her over the summer. (We really did not want that to happen!) That's why we tried convincing Lulu to break up with him first, but we didn't tell her directly. I never told Lulu what I thought of him, Rikku always dropped hints. Paine never showed any emotion towards him, but she never liked him either.
I did not want to stay inside and I could tell Rikku and Paine seemed bored as well. "Want to go outside for some fresh air?" I asked. Paine shrugged and Rikku nodded. The others wanted to stay inside and said that they will be there in a few minutes.
Rikku finished eating and threw out her trash and had a bag of chips in her hands. I did the same and had my water bottle in hand. Paine put her bookmark in the book and followed us outside.
Upon going outside, it was pretty warm and the sun was shining. There were other people in the court yard who sat and were eating and chatting with their friends. I spotted Lulu talking with Wakka and smiled. They made such a cute couple! As always her boyfriend was a little farther away from her talking to some of his friends. That caused me to roll my eyes.
"So," Rikku began as we walked around and sat somewhere. "What did Dona say to you?"
"About how I should watch my back and all," I said sighing. It seems there always will be conflict, even the first day of school.
Rikku laughed. "Yeah like she can really beat you up or something. She might break a nail," Rikku said while showing her hand and acting like what Dona would do. I laughed and shook my head at Rikku's silliness.
"She would never lay a finger on you because if she tries, I would beat the shit out of her," Paine said clenching her fist.
"Thanks," I said happily.
"Yay Paine to the rescue!" Rikku said happily while eating a chip and offering us some. I shook my head and Paine took one chip. I was okay with being in big groups with people, but at times it would be more fun to just be with a couple of friends. It was pretty fun being with Paine and Rikku and hanging out with them. Don't get me wrong, going places like parties with many people is fun too.
"So that's all that happened?" Rikku asked as I smirked at her. She could always read me like a book and knew when I would leave some things out.
"I met up with Seymour," I said taking a sip of my water.
Paine raised an eyebrow. "What did he want?"
"Just wanted to say hi because we haven't seen each other all summer." I bit my lip and suspected Paine never liked him since the day we were friends. Paine just nodded, not saying anything else. I sighed because there was nothing to say.
"Hey guys," Lulu said while walking up to us with Wakka waving at us.
I smiled happily. "Hi Lulu and Wakka!"
"Hey Yuna," He said while I stood up to give him a quick hug. "How was your summer?"
"It was alright, how about yours?" I asked.
"Eh same here." He turned to look at Rikku and Paine and smiled quickly saying hi to them. Rikku stood up and gave him a hug and Paine sat there.
I knew Wakka since Elementary School and we would hang out with the others, but he went on vacation as well. He and Lulu used to date and I thought they were the most perfect match. But they broke up 2 years ago and remained close friends. I kept on wondering if he was jealous of Lulu's loser boyfriend. I wonder if Rikku thought the same thing.
I went to every Blitzball game to cheer for the Besaid Aurochs. They almost won championships last year against Luca, but lost. I always suspected that Bickson did not even try his best to win last year because they were against his old team. They weren't as bad, but not the best. Wakka is a great captain though.
"Hey Girls!" Yaibal said walking towards us. "How are you fine ladies?"
"We are doing fine, how was your summer?" I asked giving me a quick embrace.
"It was alright, wished we had more days though. You?" I gave him a 'I agree with you' look and he took notice and laughed. "Anyways are you ladies going to Blitzball tryouts?"
"Well duh! We would never miss it for the world. It's tradition because we go every year!" Rikku exclaimed. Most of the time it was quiet and I knew something was wrong. I did not take notice of Rikku being quiet until now and I knew that she was deep in thought.
The bell rang for sixth period. I got up from my seat and stretched. Wakka and Yaibal went back to their friends and Lulu went to see Bickson. Rikku and Paine stood up as well with me and we walked inside to go to History.
A/N: Yay time for social studies with Mr. Auron. I wouldn't mind having him as my History teacher.
I had to rewrite the whole lunch scene because I hated my original idea. So sorry if it took so long! Please tell me what you think and tell me if I made any mistakes!
Ok for all you wondering some things I kind of left out.
Yuna in lunch hangs out with Paine, Rikku, Lulu (most of the time), Nhadala, Yaibal (sometimes), Calli, Maroda, Issaru and other people. It really does not matter much, just know that there are some people there. But they are in their own little conversations. When they sit outside, there are many people there so yeah.
Tidus hangs out with Wakka, Baralai, Gippal, Yaibal (most of the times) and other people. Such as Luzzu, Gatta and the Blitzball players. (The Besaid Aurochs in the game: Datto, Botta, Keepa, Letty and Jassu. But they are not always there. Just a couple of friends of Wakka's who enjoy Blitzball.)
The Blitzball teams consist of 6 players and the main people who play will be Wakka who is the captain, Baralai, Tidus, Gippal, Bickson, and Yaibal. There other Blitzers, Luzzu and Gatta who are part of the team as well. There are others too.
Because there are many students attending Besaid High School, you can't say that everybody at once has lunch. Some have lunch after 5th period and the start of 6th period while others have class. When the bell rings, those who had lunch go to 6th period and the ones who had class go to lunch.
Anyways please review!
