Okay so I went and fixed this slightly and I apologize 1000 times for my inactivity, I will upload the next few chapters tonight. Sadly I haven't seen all this in 3 months, the thing I had wrote them on had been unable to function so I didn't want to start over. But I have been having thoughts on rewriting the whole thing.


"Xion! Oh thank god I was so worried!" Roxas wrapped his arms around her. "Your mother called me last night and I thought you might've been attacked or like raped or something." He pushed off her and looked her over to check for wounds and lifted her arm spotting the faded ink. "What's this?" The arm was quickly pulled away and held protectively to the girl's chest.

"N-nothing!" How was Roxas acting as though nothing happened? He smirked at her mischievously cocking an eyebrow. "That's a phone number isn't it?" Then it hit her, Roxas was trying to act like it all never happened. Xion smiled to herself realizing she too wanted to forget it all. "Oh, you smiled it is a phone number isn't it? Who gave you their number?" Roxas started getting all nosy . He clearly was trying way too hard to be friendly.

He managed to attract their other friends who questioned his behavior. "Xion has a number written on her arm." Roxas grabbed her arm and showed the group.

Kairi squealed and ran over to her and hugged her. She seemed to be way too excited about this, like it was her not Xion. Blue stared into blue as Kairi began badgering her like Roxas had. "So who is he? I wanna know the man who asked out my dear Xion." She could tell by the look on everyone else's faces that they were all curious too, even Riku seemed interested.

"Yeah after all it's not everyday that our little Xion gets asked out." Sora chimed in grinning Xion shook her head a few times before responding. She felt pressured, sure it was very unusual for her to receive a guy's number but must they make a big deal of it?

"Ok first of all I ran into him in an alleyway, like seriously ran into him. So he helped me up and we chatted for a bit and he offered me a drink, which I declined! Then he drove me home. He did not ask me out, he just cheered me up cause I was crying and running around late at night." She inhaled after spitting all that out, it was quite tiring to explain this. She knew soon she was going to be pestered as in why he gave her his number and what his name was.

Selphie just giggled at her for a bit then jumped up "So what's his name? Surely he introduced himself?" And with that the redhead bounced again "That's right and why did he give you his number huh?" 'I totally called that' Xion thought to herself. She knew her friends too well and usually could figure out their actions before they did.

"You are not getting his name and he gave me his number so I could call him if I needed someone to talk to." Xion went to cross her arms but Olette stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

"It's signed with a V." She said smiling. "That narrows it down." Olette put her slim index finger to her chin to show she was in thought. Kairi and Selphie than copied the gesture.

"Guys we really shouldn't pry if she doesn't want us to know." Riku's calm voice surprise them all. Xion smiled at him glad that he understood and was respecting her privacy. Her other friends could learn from Riku but of course she knew that would never happen. As if to work in her favor the bell signaling that class was beginning rang throughout the yard.

"Don't think you're getting off the hook just cause class is starting." Kairi said with a sly smirk on her face.

Selphie had the same expression. "yeah come lunch we'll get some answers!" And with that the two girls took off into the school.

Xion waved goodbye to her friends and turned to leave. But stopped when she heard her name called in a calm tone, soft like the person was debating whether to actually call to her or not.

She turned and saw Riku there his hair covering his eyes. "We have first period together... We might as well go together." He shrugged slightly. The shock was obvious on the girls face. Riku preferred to do things alone. Riku was the independent one of the group, which made Xion wonder why he hung out with them. Not to say she didn't like him, she actually really enjoyed his company.

"Yeah, let's go then." She offered him a smile so he would know he was welcomed. Riku's mouth twitched upwards slightly and he gave a small smile in return. The two headed into the school then to class without speaking to each other. Xion could feel the awkward air around them. She wanted to say something to start a conversation but wasn't sure what. She knew Riku wouldn't. When they got into class they sat together and Riku finally broke the silence.

"Are you alright?" He asked concern was lined through his voice. He had worry written into his beautiful eyes too. The sapphire eyed girl was confused before it clicked.

"Oh you mean about the guy? Yeah, he didn't do anything bad don't worry." She smiled at him again trying to let her face prove it too. Riku just stared at her intently only to shake his head after.

"Not about that, about what happened with Roxas..." His voiced trailed off when he saw her smile immediately drop and the colour drain from her face. "We all know but were told to leave it alone." That explained everyone's hyper behavior, Xion thought to herself They all were pretending it never happened.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." Her voice was making her sound unsure. "It's not the break up that upset me, it was the fact that my best friend lied to me." She could feel the stinging of tears welling up in her eyes. She wasn't gonna let herself cry but she knew Riku would be able to see the wetness of her eyes.

Riku wasn't looking at her though, his face was looking to the floor. "He... Lied to you? He said that you guys were uncomfortable with the whole dating thing and decided it was best to break up." His words were confused but when he looked up at her there was slight anger in his green eyes. "What really happened?"

Xion felt she did something wrong, Roxas was clearly trying to avoid drama and telling people about him and Axel. Did she just mess this up? She looked away and shook her head she knew if she told him it would be bad. Riku sighed and nodded in understanding.

"Look, I know it still hurts but sometimes you need to talk about it... I know not liked very much, if you're uncomfortable talking to me-" Xion waved her hand and shook her head.

"No no that's not it, I like you a lot! But ... No that came out wrong..." she blushed crimson and Riku just chuckled softly at her flustered expression. "Ok, don't laugh that's mean!" She pouted at him and he looked away. "Okay I'm gonna start again," Xion let out a breath. "I will tell you but please don't tell anyone." She put her hands together.

Riku turned back to her still slightly smiling at her pouting. "I didn't plan on it anyways, you clearly don't want people to know." He shrugged looking at her. Xion could feel her mood drop when she thought about what happened.

"Roxas asked me to go out with him, but apparently it was to cover up that he was dating someone else..."Riku cocked an eyebrow again. "It's Axel... He's... Dating Axel. He was embarrassed and didn't want anyone to know." Xion realized that she was fighting on Roxas' side here even though he was in the wrong.

It was quiet aside from the other students discussing their work. Riku was totally silent, it was a bad silence too. Xion looked at him and sighed covering her face in her hands. She separated her fingers and looked at the sheet the teacher handed out earlier. Ick fractions and blah, she wasn't a math fanatic and having it first period sucked. She glanced at Riku. He was lost in thought. She thought how funny it was for him to be in her class.

He wasn't proud of the mark he got back when he was in her grade so he took the class again to fix it. He got some eyes at first, mostly from the girls. Xion would admit it made sense since he was fairly attractive. Not only that but he was smart, athletic and kind... Well unless you got on his bad side.

The class ended sooner than she thought and soon she and Riku went their separate ways. She waved to him and he returned the gesture. Xion headed towards her next class, English. She had no friends in this class so she'd be bored.

When Xion got in class she saw a supply teacher walk in with a tv and movie. 'So it's one of those day huh?' She thought. The girl wished she had her phone but it was probably still in her jacket at Roxas' if Axel didn't burn it, which she figured he would've. As she sat down she put her head on the desk already bored of the class and wants lunch to arrive. Well maybe lunch wasn't what she wanted since her friends would be harassing her about Vanitas. Once the name was said that's what her mind clung to.

Vanitas, he was so kind to her even though they hadn't known one another, he even gave her his number. That made Xion wonder if she should actually call him or if it was a fake number. That wouldn't surprise her. He was kind though he wouldn't do that, would he? Along with acting like a nice guy he was quite good looking. Spiky black hair and golden eyes. He was definitely attractive. Xion quickly shook those thoughts out but they slowly crept back and she was snapped out of her thoughts by the bell. Finally it was time for lunch.
