A/N: OMG! Second chapter! I'm sooo sorry that I take so long to even update a single chapter! I get veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery distracted, like an ADHD person, plus I've been super duper BUSY! Oh well, cause I haz some awesome shit planned for this story and I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited! Are you not wondering who Sora and Roxas' parents are? What really happened with Aya's dad? What traumatic experiences has Amaya really gone through? Who am I directing these questions to? When will I stop asking? (XD) BTW! I don't own any of the songs from the last chapter cuz *LE GASP* I forgot to put a disclaimer :3 Oops… Anyways, 6 Foot 7 Foot belongs to Lil Wayne and Superbass and Starships belong to Nicki Minaj! Oh, and in the last chapter, I said 'humping on the trampoline' but I mean jumping not humping. Hahahaha I need to learn to edit my stories well… Well, I need to learn to actually EDIT my stories but, ah….. OH WELL! I take anything you have to say in reviews! On to ze story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts….. Yep. If so then if my Amaya character wasn't approved for the game, SoRiku would totally be cannon.

My nose hurt, my ass hurt, and I could almost feel Riku's beautiful eyes burning a hole in my head. Not only that, people were actually starting to stare at us. It's probably because Riku happened to be waving his hand right in front of my face, asking if I was alright. Me, being the airhead I am, continued to stare at Riku's godli- (nope not going there) -ke body. Luckily, I've had so much experience with situations like this one, so I was able to keep my face from looking like a complete tomato. Do you know how many hot guys were at Radiant Garden's high school? Tons, and tons, and tons of them. I was already hated enough at that school so why should I make myself not only look loser, but also a pervert? Wow, that would've been perfect for my rep. So blushing was something I have become almost immune to, not counting certain situations. Though I have to admit, I was pretty surprised my face wasn't a red as a cherry tomato right now.

"Usually cute girls like you get nosebleed after they see me shirtless not before," A smirking Riku said, breaking me out of my trance. I glared at him as I touched my finger tips to my nose, indeed feeling a smooth liquid dripping from it. My fingers quickly pinched my nose with the already bloody fingers, probably making more of a mess than it should have been. Man, no matter how cute he is or how much my stomach seemed to be fluttering, I was pissed. I mean, like, watch where you're going or something!

"Most assholes like you don't hit cute girls in the face with a door or is that just a polite thing guys do here on Destiny Islands?" I retorted, tilting my head forward. Yeah, most people tilt their head back when you have a nose bleed, but I learned in health that really, you're supposed to tilt your head forward. Don't ask why, that's about the only part I remember from that entire lecture.

Riku scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Cute girl with an attitude, better watch your mouth or I might not help you pick up your things"

"Personally," I growled, "I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have helped me in the first place, so you might not want to go around filling empty promises." I reached down with one hand to retrieve said school things, but my hand was stopped by another ghostly pale one. Once again, my tactics to not blushing came in handy, or else, I would've been blushing like one of those mad school girls. You know the ones that always swoon over the jackasses and never the guys worth your attention? Of course, that had been slightly me with Hope last year… Ahem, not going to think about it, not going to think about it.

"No, seriously, let me carry it for you. Besides, I need to get your dust covered ass to the nurse's office," He said, not even peeking to look at my butt, but this time, I couldn't even help but blush that deep crimson color that I have been holding in.

"I don't even want to know when you decided to look at my ass, but be my guest yah little perv!" I sneered. I saw Riku pretend to try to sneak a glance at my backside, but I was luckily able to flick him in the head before he even got a glance. "Try to take note of my sarcasm next time, kay?"

He mock saluted with one hand while carrying my back pack with his other hand. "Okay, whatever you say. Just to let you know, I'm not the only one trying to take a sneak peek." I indeed turned around to see five or six guys checking me out, and when I caught their eye, I did the first thing that came to mind; flipping them off.

"That definitely going to stop them from basically raping you with their eyes," Riku sarcastically muttered. Even though it was true (I'm surprised guys where actually checking me out for the most part) and it greatly bugged me, I couldn't help but laugh at that. The humor of It all was the things we were saying was not really awkward at all, even more surprisingly, I really enjoyed joking around with him. All I hope for is that he's not a liar, which is possible because he's in Drama… Great… "Let's just go to the nurse's office."

"Okay, okay, don't get you panties in a twist!" I nasally said. The throbbing of my nose came quickly, sending quick pains shooting up to my forehead. I let out a quiet hiss, though Riku seemed to still hear it.

"Oh man, I didn't know it got you that bad. We should probably actually start heading to the nurse's office instead of standing around like idiots!" Riku rambled, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the school building.

"The only idiot here is you," I muttered, only loud enough that Riku could hear. He turned around to playfully glare at me, but ended up running into a wall. He needs to work on knowing where he was walking when not looking forward. I giggled Riku's head jerked back and he swore under his breathe. "They always say Karma's a bitch."

"Whatever." He muttered, wincing as he held his forehead in his palm. He was different, that was for sure. But even after making a total fool out of himself and bumping into a wall that was clearly coming up, he still seemed to walk with that pop-jock swag guys had in the movies. This made me feel slightly awkward, considering we were now walking side-by-side.

"So, did you move here recently?" He asked, not at all interested, obviously. Oh, the boring art of making things seem 'un-awkward'.

"Yep, four days ago. Took a hella long time to get here though. 14 hour plane rides with pedophiles with eye-patches, with a side of having a kangaroo-kid sitting right behind you does not roll along the lines of an enjoyable ride," I muttered. The truth of it was unbelievably annoying. Though I left out the part where I almost got my mother and I kicked off the plane by half strangling the pervy pirate and the premature kangaroo kick-boxer.

"Sounds crappy. Where'd you move from?" He asked yet again.

"Many places. Just moved from Radiant Garden, before that Pride Rock, before that Hollow Bastion, and the worst of all, Atlantica," I mumbled. Most people found this one of the most beautiful and musical places on the planet, but I had an entirely different opinion about that.

"Most people I've met who've gone there says it's amazing." Riku replied. That's true, but how long have they been there? Maybe a week or two, but never more than a year.

"Well, I say that Atlantica is the number one cause for migraines. I swear, if I hear any voice anywhere near the ones in that headache-hole, I swear they will need to find a way to pry their arm from out of their throat," I mumbled dangerously. He turned his head to face me and raised an eyebrow.

"Personally, I have no comment about that," He replied, looking rather….. Amused, strangely.

"Well Sora agrees with me." I muttered bitterly wondering what his reaction might be. Riku stopped dead in his tracks, me following suit. He gave me a confused look. Behind the confusion in his eyes were plenty more emotions; anger, shock, even a hint of fear. A fear of what is what confused me for a second, but I ignored the feeling when Riku spoke.

"How exactly would you know that, rather, how do you know Sora?" Riku questioned me.

"A gal gets to know someone when they live right next door to someone. It's the polite thing to do when you first move into a house." I stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, but don't you think it's a little weird that you're getting a little too close to my best friend?" He surprisingly growled out. Oh, now I knew where this was headed.

"A possessive little shit, aren't you? Well just so you know, I don't find that quite fair considering you're dating you 'best friend's' crush," I retorted as bitterly as possible. I put air-quotes in the designated areas, making sure he got my point. Take that, jackass. Score= Amaya: 1, Riku: 0.

"How would you know? We sat by each other on the bus, big deal. We're what you call friends, counting Sora. Three Musketeers to be exact, emphases on three. So that obviously doesn't include you," He growled back. Point taken. Amaya: 1, Riku: 1. Well played, Riku, well played…

"Okay, so I'm guessing the text you sent Sora was completely fake and not real?" I countered, sending Riku into a fit of stutters. Amaya: 2, Riku: 1. His stuttering stopped and his glare hardened.

"I don't why this is any of your business. It only concerns me, Sora, and Kairi. So why are you suddenly deciding to play a part in my life?" He countered, looking like he could blow his top. Why was I doing this? Actually, I'm not sure. But now after I've started, I can't seem to stop. Something about this guy just makes me completely and utterly pissed. Like an uncontrollable emotion was taking over inside of me, boiling up and exploding into fireworks through my insults and words.

"It concerns me when you break your best friend's heart. Personally, I doubt he would even consider you his best friend the way you betrayed him," I ended up yelling out. Riku opened his mouth to say something, but I shut him up with my words. "I don't even want to hear what you're going to say. Is it going to be a pick-up line? Because I don't think your 'girlfriend' will really appreciate you flirting with other girls you cheater!" Oops. Well that was kind of low. I'm not exactly sure why I've been jumping to so many clues, but I'm pretty sure I pulled the last straw with him at that being said. Yep, I really did. Fire just seemed to burn in his eyes, ready to just fly out and singe my skin. He walked up to me and looked me straight in the eyes, snarling.

"You know nothing, nothing about what is going on with me and Kairi, so what the hell gave you the idea you could even say something like that," He spat out, making me flinch. Oh, I really pushed the wrong button, because he was done. I picked the last straw. "I know exactly what type of person you are. All you care about is attention and manipulating other people to get what you want. How do I know? This has happened so many other times before that it's getting old. Am I really worth pretending to be someone I'm not?" This is bad, bad, bad, bad. Why am I such a conceited bitch whenever I get grumpy? Why did I have to wake up at five or sometime like that? Amaya:2, Riku 1000000000.

"Personally, I feel like punching you in the face right now, but I feel like being the good guy right now, unlike a bitchy little faker like you! All you are is a simple low-life looking for her way into the in-crowd. You're a complete loser," He spat out, taking deep breaths. I just now noticed I wasn't holding my nose anymore. I just now noticed that my schools things were lying on the floor. I just now noticed how close Riku and I was. I just now noticed the single tear inching its way down my cheek. I just now noticed my upper teeth biting on my lower lip, trying to keep from sobbing noises from escaping my mouth. I just now noticed the guilt in Riku's eyes appearing behind all the anger. And then I collapsed.

The sob escaped my mouth, loud and clear, and loud enough I'm pretty sure people from the floor above us could hear. I haven't cried in months, well, days considering I just moved from Radiant Garden four or five days ago. Everyone knew I had friends, but I met them outside of school at a nearby arcade. At school, I was at a public school and my friends at a private, I wasn't that lucky. That single word, 'loser', is what started that single stream of bullying for an entire year and a half of my life. It wasn't something that I expected to happen with everything that happened before in my life. My father, Zack, apparently died in battle, but I swear to God I saw him on the Islands at least once. And then all this ridicule and teasing started. At first in as on the DL, but then it turned to rumors, then it actually got physical, then people photo shopped me and some of the teachers doing 'things'. The memory of when the bullying god serious and bad just came flooding into head like a river of pure poison, disintegrating my good memories stored somewhere in the back of my brain.

A pair of nice toned arms wrapped around my thin waist in a comforting way. They were strong, obviously muscular without being to buff, and they felt so nice and inviting. I knew who it was and I was surprised. He probably thought it was because of the whole yelling thing, but really I've learned to let most insults roll of my shoulders. Only this time, a single word floated around in my head, bringing stingy tears to the corners of my eyes; he called me a loser. I don't know about you, but I've had a bad experience with that word and it still haunts me. And nobody knew about it besides me and the people at the event. Oh God, I remember when I'd just be crying up in my room and when my mom came up to comfort me, she didn't know what to say or do. She would just hold me in her arms and rock me back and forth, trying to find a way to comfort me. Comfort, gosh that's the only thing that describes what I need right now. So I found some.

I wrapped my pale arms around his neck, pulling him closer than he was before. He quickly tensed up, but just as fast as he did, he relaxed. Tears literally gushed out from my eyes as I cried into his shoulder. I'm not exactly sure why I'm crying this much; usually I'm not so emotional. But when I'm around Riku, I get so angry, and so sad, just full of different feelings. It's really….. Weird. That the only way that I am able to describe this. My emotions around him are so bipolar. For five minute I'll think he's hot and sexy, then I'll think he's a complete ass, then he'll crush my heart! What's with that?

I finally pull away, sniffling and hiccupping. I touched my hand to my eyes and looked at the outcome; there was black smudged all over my finger. "Great, my mascara is smudged," I though sarcastically. My eyes drifted to connect with Riku's. Whoa, Riku actually looked worried about me. He bore a worried from and his eyebrows were furrowed. Why wasn't he upset that I just cried into his shoulder without an explanation? I… Wait-!

"SHIT!" I yelled, literally jumping backwards. "I am so frickin' sorry, I'm not even sure why I was crying and, well I have reason but you don't know what it is and OMG what did I just-" A hand was placed over my mouth as I noticed the same silver locks from before. Riku looked half confused and half amused.

"And why exactly are you trying to apologize considering I'm the one who called you a bitch!" Riku said, smiling softly. It was kind and genuine and made me blush. Damn him…. I opened my mouth to talk, but Riku's hand was still over my mouth so I yanked it off.

"Well I'm the one who made a mountain out of a mole-hill over somebody I just met! Besides I have no idea why you are even going out with Kairi. Like you said, it is none of my business," I stated, trying to reason with the silverette.

"Well I shouldn't have yelled, and personally I give you permission to punch me in the face for doing so," He said, that familiar smirk appearing on his face. God, he can smirk and make it fit the situation at any time!

"Well, if I punch you, it basically will feel like being punched in the face by a bunny. I'd be weak and yet somehow utterly cute," I joked. Good time to lighten the mood. Riku laughed, luckily.

"Somehow it's just hard to imagine even being punched by a bunny," He said while smiling down on me. "Hey, want me to tell you secret?" I raised an eyebrow. Really? A secret? Such a juvenile word, yet even me saying something is juvenile and I'm not is like saying that I wouldn't marry chocolate fudge Pop-Tarts if I was given the chance. Because I would.

"Knock yourself out," I answered.

Riku took a deep breath before he spoke. "I'm only going out with Kairi because she has a plan to get Sora to like her by making him jealous enough to admit he has feelings for her. I'm the awesome actor-best-friend who goes along with the plan." Did thy ears deceive-eth me? It's not like I've heard this plan dozens of time before…. More like hundreds. I started nodding my head while using my expression to combine the feeling of confusion, guilt, and understanding, Along with a large side helping of doubt. I turned to Riku and looked him straight in the eye.

"You do know that this plan will only make things a lot worse for you 'Musketeers' here?" I explained, referring to what Riku had call Sora, Kairi, and himself earlier in the conversation. Though my statement was perfectly correct, Riku just shrugged his shoulders.

"I know that fact with perfect clarity, but Kairi can sometimes be an airhead when it comes to love. She always gets straight A's, yet sometimes she lacks the higher grade with coming up with good plans," Riku muttered, now sitting against the wall I now realized I was leaning back on. Why don't I notice these things?

"Don't take this the wrong way, but you just make me feel like a complete jerk who buts into other people's business." I mumbled, collecting my knees with my arms.

"You shouldn't feel that way. I'm who yelled at you then made you cry," He said, giving me a sheepish look while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well, technically, I only cried over one thing you said," I muttered, not exactly in the mood to talk about it. Riku leaned forward a little and cocked his head to the side, obviously curious.

"And thing is….?" His voice trailed off as if asking me to finish the sentence. I sighed and looked at him, and what I mean by looking at him, I mean accidentally checking him out. Before I blushed, I swallowed the lump forming in my throat, and looked him in the eye. It would be confusing if I didn't tell him the entire story of the night.

"You called me a loser. It's weird because most people wouldn't get so affected by something as simple as that but…." I stopped for a second, taking a deep breath before I continued. " I've had a very bad experience including that one word."

"You don't mind telling me?" He asked hopefully.

"Not at all, Riku. Actually," I said, "I should probably get it off my chest considering you'd be the first person I'd be telling."

"Really?"

"Mhm.

"Then I guess I'm honored," He smiled.

"Well, I guess it might've started with the first step I took into Garden Willow's High in Radiant Gardens. The first friend I made there was the most popular guy who went there; Hope Estheim. He was so nice and caring and was just right out nice. But the thing is, he was dating a really mean girl. Her name was Larxene. She was really nice to me, at first. Then suddenly, Hope broke up with Larxene. That is when I started noticing subtle whispering behind my back, a few pointing incidents. It really was nothing extreme, and I didn't realize it until after the big incident that it had even been there. And I guess I'd have to admit, I was very popular. But then one night, I found out all that popularity had been fake." I looked at Riku. He nodded at me to go on.

"It was actually after homecoming, and there was an after party at Larxene's house. It was fun, people were drunk, I was sober, and it was kind of awkward. Hope kept flirting with me, but I thought it was all just the alcohol getting to him. I guess Larxene was jealous or something because she look like she was about ready to kill somebody every time Hope was even near me. It was just plain obvious that she still had feelings for him. So anyways, it was around eleven when the party died down a bit, and people started to get sick from the alcohol. That's not very important but oh well.

"So, Larxene brought up her friends Tifa and Aqua, Aqua being the only nice one up there. Then she sent someone to fetch me. When I got up there, they all had this really weird…. Look plastered on their face. I'm not even sure how to describe it, but I knew it was there. So, Larxene said that she had an announcement to make. Everyone immediately got quiet because they knew if they were talking while Larxene was talking…. Let's say it wouldn't be a very, um, kind thing that she'd do. Well she said there was another award she wanted to give out, a queen that has never been given recognition. After a few moments of silence…. She called me up to stand by her. I really was utterly shocked that she called me of all people up. Then I did the one thing I very much regret; I smiled. It was small and barely noticeable, but it was definitely there. So she set a tiara on my head, moved me up to the very edge of her balcony (which had very shot railing, may I add) and…. And she….. Whispered….." I swallowed the knot in my throat closed my eyes, making sure no tears would dare to fall out.

"She whispered, 'This is what you get for stealing my boyfriend, loser!' She literally screamed the last word. Then she pushed over the balcony and-"

"Wait, wait, WAIT!" Riku said, holding his hand up. "She pushed you over the balcony into her backyard?" I furrowed my eyebrows at his incredulous look. "If what you're saying is true, it can't be because she would've murdered you!"

Oh. "Oh, did I forget to mention she pushed me into her backyard pool?" I sheepishly added to the story. He visibly relaxed, though he looked very, very pissed.

"Well if she was trying to make your life a living hell, then why'd she give you a tiara?"

"Um, I guess I also failed to mention that it had the word 'loser' one it…"

"Uh yeah, you did."

We sat there silently, just staring at the floor. We did that until a thought came to mind. One that I had been thinking for a while, but have failed to ask.

"Why are you acting like you actually care?" I asked. His eyes widened in surprise. "We literally just met, so why are you listening so intently, as if you really want to know?" He stayed quiet for a second, seeming as he couldn't form a response. Mouth agape, eyes wide, and his breathing seemed to freeze in time, also. Finally he sat up straight and put a cocky look on his face.

"So, I'm guessing since you know I'm just naturally an asshole, it means that I'm not allowed to be nice? I can be when I want to," He smirked. I rolled my eyes. Yah know, no matter how cute/hot he is, this guy really gets on my nerves. I sighed and looked up at the clock. 7:25…. HOLY FREAKING CRAP!

"OH MY GOD SCHOOL STARTS IN FIVE MINUTES!" I yelled, jumping onto my feet and started running down the hall. I almost fell flat on my face when a hand yanked me back and turned me around. I was face to face with an amused grin from Riku.

"We should still get your nose checked at the nurse's office; it is less than thirty seconds away," Riku insisted.

"B-but… N-n-n-n-n-n…. W-we'll…. Lateness…." I stammered out like an idiot, not wanting to be late for my first class. He rolled his eyes.

"The nurse can write us a note excusing us from getting a tardy, so let's go before the nurse doesn't give us an excuse to be late," He persistently added. Luckily, he was very persuasive, so I allowed me to drag me down the hall to the nurse's office (Which was ten feet away). The door was open, like many other school nurse's rooms have been, and he just pulled us right in. The room was small far a high school clinic. Five chairs were lined up along the wall to our left, with a large filing cabinet standing next to the row of chairs. I could make out a little square area beyond the cabinet, but only because of a faint light bouncing off of the metal. A door was on the far wall that indicated a handicap bathroom, along with another, only this room was for sick students to lie down and rest, obviously. The next wall had a counter with all kinds of different medical stuff; Band-Aids, cough drops, Q-Tips, cotton balls, popsicle sticks, etc. There was a desk in the corner that connected with that wall and the one next to it.

Sitting at that desk was one of the strangest women I've ever seen. She had dark black hair with a few braids and feathers. She wore a black shirt and a white doctor's lab coat. She was typing something intensely on her computer sitting on her desk, along with different assortments of desk-like things (Pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, staplers, etc…). The lady's head rose from her laptop as Riku and I walked inside the hospital smelling room.

"How may I help you Mr. Dawn?" The nurse asked.

"How do you know it's me who's hurt? It's only the first day!" Riku raised and an eyebrow. It's sort of strange that the nurse already knew Riku's name, so I'm guessing Riku probably gets hurt a lot. Geeze, that explains A LOT.

"Last year, and hour before class, you and Mr. Fuoco showed up in my office, both of you with bloody noses and minor bruises yet you were dragging behind you another unconscious boy," She retorted. Riku turned his head away from me so I couldn't connect with his eyes. "Plus, his clothes where singed."

"I told him not to touch Axel's basketball, while I was trying to break it up," Riku muttered. I giggled as the nurse rolled her eyes and came out from behind her desk.

"So why exactly are you two here?" The funky-haired nurse asked. Riku's face went slightly red as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

"He opened the front door while accidentally hitting me in the face with said door," I explained. "Personally, I want to know whether or not it's broken so can you just like…..?"

"Hmmmm, why am I not surprised? C'mon over here to the counter," She said as she walked over the counter with all of the medicine stuff. I followed and Riku sat down in one of the waiting chairs.

The nurse checked my temperature (I have a bloody freaking nose and why'd she decide to take my temperature? I really don't freaking know) and checked my nose to see if it was broken by moving it around and other things. She went behind her desk and kneeled down by a mini fridge, getting something. She stood back up and came back with a paper towel filled with a couple ice cubes.

"Your nose is not broken but put this ice over it to keep it from swelling. You may come back during the day if the pain increases or continues to return," The nurse spoke. She patted me on the back and returned to her desk.

"Um, yeah, just thought I'd apologize again, because I feel absolutely horrible," Riku muttered sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. I shook my head.

"It's absolutely fine. Y'know, the whole saying when God closes one door, he opens another? Yeah, God may have taken that saying a little too seriously for my liking," I joked, elbowing him in the ribs. Rolling his eyes, he stuck his arm out. So chivalrous, this idiot is.

I grabbed his arm and only glanced back as the nurse mutter something about her 'brand new OTP is'. Not even caring what the hell the hell that could even mean, Riku and I walked along to our first class.

Great first day so far, huh?
