Sora died on the spot. He had just said what was possibly the most cringe-worthy crap that had every graced his lips. 'I wouldn't have it any other way' what a pile of bullshit.

Riku smiled coyly at Sora's response, his teal eyes sparkled with amusement. Roxas simply burst into a large fit of laughter whilst Kairi just smiled, trying to be kind and holding back suppressed fits of laughter.

The bell rang out. Thank god, Sora had art first. Sora always enjoyed art, he found it was relaxing, although he wasn't too great at it.

"Um Riku?"

"yeah?"

"Where is the art room?" Sora whined.

Riku rolled his eyes and sighed "come with me, I have art too."

Sora followed the bright silver hair through the crowds across from the B block to the E block. He followed Riku into the room, a pretty woman dressed all in black sat at a desk.

She had deep dark blood red eyes. He long black glossy, but not greasy bangs fell across her face, covering the whole left side, dark glossy corn rows pulled up into a tight bun, three plaits hung down her back from the bun to her waist. Her pale white skin shimmered like moonlight, contrasting starkly with her fur lined low cut black dress, decorated with grey-brown flowers along the edges. A criss crossing mesh of belts filled a gap created by a large split running up the front of the dress. She was clearly not Japanese.

"Sora Yamagata?"

"Yeah" he smiled at her cool features.

"I'm Miss Lulu, I prefer you yo use my first name." she said abruptly. "Take a seat on the back table." She smiled again.

Sora found himself sitting on a table with Riku, and a small pretty blonde girl.

He hair was long and came over the one shoulder, it was a pale ash blonde it shimmered and sparkled like a star. She had deep dark violate-blue eyes, she wore a short white strapped mini-dress.

"Hi." She smiled shyly "I'm Namine."

"Sora" He beamed back at her.

The lesson rolled by, and Sora discovered that both Riku and Namine were fantastic artists. He also discovered Miss Lulu was extraordinary critical about everyone's work. Riku seemed to have retreated back to his rather grumpy mood of the day before. Sora chose not to bother him.


The day seemed to drag, he had English with Marluxia and Namine, then Science with Roxas and Kairi. After many hours of boredom and 'not taking' (Sora's notes mostly consisted of stick men doodles.) The bell rang. LUNCH, Sora loved lunch, food was great!

He walked with Roxas and Kairi, thankful that he had them to walk with so he didn't have to hang about in the lunch hall for long.

Kairi lead them both over towards a table.

"Hey Roxas! Over here!" Marluxia called, graceful as ever, his pink eyes shone with a genuine pleasure to see Roxas. He was sitting with the pretty people from the day before.

Roxas turned and looked at Sora, guiltily.

"Go on! You need all the friends you can get!" Sora forced a smile as Kairi nodded in agreement.

He sat down with rose haired teen. She smiled, a little awkwardly.

"You know, Riku's taken a real shine to you" she mused into the air, not really directing the statement at Sora.

"Feel loved! Riku, lover of few, hater of many!" a hyper, possibly sugar fuelled voice twittered from behind him. She stole one of the crisps from Sora's recently opened packet. "HI!!! I'm Yuffie!!" The girl jumped up and down excitedly. Sora took an instant liking to the girl, she was warm friendly and had as much useless energy as Sora did. Her actions reminded him so much of.. No, don't think about him, you're not going to see him for a long time. Sora pushed the thought to the back of his mind.

"HEY DOUCHE WAKE UP" The girl was waving in face. "He's back Kai."

"You totally zoned out for a while there!"

Sora looked up and studied the girl properly for the first time. She had short midnight jet black hair that reached just past her jawline, her eyes we're a light green and glistened mischievously. She was wearing a black tank top with a large white floral print running through it, with beige shorts, beige knee high boots and black over the knee socks. Her cheeky smile seemed to be an almost permanent feature on her face.

"HELLOOOOO?!"

"Um hey sorry! I'm Sora!"

"yeah, I know it was easier to ask Kai! You're a total space cadet!"

space cadet...

"Aha! I know, sometimes I just think and then I forget about what I'm doing" Sora gave her one of his infectious grins.

"He's re-entered our stratosphere!" Yuffie jumped up and saluted.

"Yuff, sit down!" Kairi said giggling.

"HERE COMES CLOUD! WOOOOOOO CLOUD" Yuffie yelled running up to a perturbed looking blonde boy, with tall gravity defying ash blonde hair. His fringe covered his icy blue-grey eyes with thick spikes. He was wearing black baggy pants and a skin tight sleeveless black zip up top.

He smiled at Sora as he sat down, clearly a rare occurrence, as Yuffie kindly stated that 'they were all fucked as cloud was smiling.'

"Yuffie, you talk way to much." Cloud said rubbing his temples. Yuffie was like a walking migraine inducer.

Sora sat and ate his lunch watching in slight awe, as Yuffie bugged the hell out of Cloud. Cloud just grumbled and swatted her away with his hand, Sora got the distinct feeling that anyone else would provoke a much larger, much angrier reaction out of him.

"Um.. Where's Riku?" Sora stretched his neck out to look towards the lunch hall doors.

"He'll be here soon enough" Cloud replied. Sora struggled with Cloud, he'd only known him a few minutes but he was completely impossible to read, Sora wasn't sure if Cloud liked him. "He's in a bad mood, so try not to annoy him." Turning his attention to Yuffie with his icy blue eyes.

"Me?" She feigned a hurt expression. "Oh Cloud, how you hurt me so."

He raised an eyebrow.

The lunch doors banged open, Sora craned his neck once more, and saw Riku heading towards their table, with a brisk purposeful walk. The brunette boy from the pool also followed, looking smugly pleased, taking his seat on the beautiful table. He dropped onto the seat next to Sora heavily. The table fell silent with awkward tones hanging in the air.

"Riku.." Kairi looked over at her best friend worried glassy sea blue eyes that could rival even Sora's, stared intently at the albino boy sitting opposite her, trying to get a glimpse of his teal eyes. Riku's long bangs easily hid the watering eyes from her. What the did not hide were the shimmering tears that dropped from his face.

Kairi stood up, knocking the table, fists shaking, she got up and began to head over to the lunch hall doors.

Sora and Yuffie looked at each other in befuddlement. Clouds expression sharpened greatly, his head shot in the direction of Kairi. In one swift movement, he stood up, darted towards her and grabbed her arm.

"Don't do anything you'll regret, Riku won't thank you for it." he hissed into her ear.

"I know it was him Cloud, he's done it again, you know exactly what he's like." she hissed back.

"We have no proof he did anything."

It appeared Yuffie had clocked on, she got up, grabbed Riku by the hand and pulled him up, taking him out of the lunch hall.


Riku couldn't help himself, a huge wave of emotion had broken, smashing right into him.

Pushing him in to the corner of an empty classroom she asked"Riku? What happened?" Yuffie's cheeky smirk and mischievous expression had been replaced with a serious concerned frown. "Its Leon isn't it? What's he said now?"

Riku looked up through his silver-white bangs. "He knows."

"What? How can he, nobodies said anything. He's just being a prick."

"No, he knows, he heard me and Kai."

"Riku, it doesn't matter what other people think about how you ar-" She shot back, an angry expression formed onto Riku's soft features.

"WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE IT? I FUCKING AGREE WITH HIM!" Riku screamed at her, pain evident, creasing his face as he yelled. He sank, sliding down the wall to the ground. Yuffie crouched onto the balls of her feet.

"and now he knows... My life is over."

"You'll always have us." Yuffie smiled at him, it wasn't a warm smile, not a sad one. A smile that reassured him, a everything's going to be okay sort of smile.


"Squall Leonhart!" Kairi bellowed angrily down the table of pretty people. Sora watched as the brunette boy from the swimming changing rooms stood up, a coy smirk on his face. "What did you do." She hissed, eyes narrowing.

"I simply told him what I knew." His voice was calm. He knew how a calm opposing voice would piss off a very angry Kairi.

Cloud gestured for Sora to stand with him, Roxas too got up and stood with them. Neither knew what was going on, but felt the should stick together.

"Oh and what have you made up this time? Not had enough of making shit up?" Sora looked, up, the voice had not been Kairi's who spoke, but in fact Cloud.

"Paha. Made up? I heard it from Riku's own mouth." Leon smirked, This was going to be good.

"Like anyone's going to believe you're endless spout of bullshit." Kairi's voice was calm, but her shaking fists gave her away.

By now the whole room was listening.

"I distinctly heard Riku, yes Riku Inoue." Leon stated to the room. "crying. Crying to Kairi, that he didn't know what he was going to do."

Kairi's face dropped, even the cool Cloud's eyes widened.

"Leon no." he growled.

"Ha. She made this happen, not me." Leon gestured towards a quivering Kairi. "You know what he was crying about? Because he didn't know what he was going to do."

"LEON." Kairi screamed, tears running down her cheeks, her eye make-up running down his face.

"About what?" He smirked at her, clearly enjoying her sorrow.

"About being gay." he stated bluntly.

"What the fuck?" Leon's cool escaped him for a moment, as Kairi's fist collided with his face. He staggered holding a hand up to his nose, blood pouring out. "You'll regret that." He growled at her.

Cloud stood in front of her, creating a solid barrier between Leon and Kairi. He raised an eye brow, Leon turned, and left the lunch hall. The silence now broken, the room murmured. Kairi too left the hall. Followed by Cloud, he turned and gestured Sora and Roxas to follow.


a/n Sooo chapter two. You know, parts of this story are based on parts of my life, the lunch hall scene being an over exaggerated version of my life. A lot of the characters too, are based on people I know. I hope this can make the story feel a little more real :) Anyways, if you bothered to read it, and enjoyed it could you maybe give me a review? It really does mean so much and brightens up my day when I get a nice little review :)

I will try to reply to them :)
