Namine's POV

I seemed like a major dork, holding onto Roxas and all. Gah, I bet he is laughing at me right now. Blushing at the thought, I walked back to Axel who greeted me with a small smile. "Where's Roxas?" He asked me, and I could have sworn he looked a bit more relieved. I sighed "I just wanted to tell him something" I told him.

Axel nodded, "I see. What did you tell him?". But before I could answer, I could hear someone screaming my name.

"Namine!!!!" Kairi screamed. I sighed for a moment in annoyance, "Just a moment" I told Axel, and ran to Kairi and Sora.

"Gee, everyone in the whole dance floor could hear you screaming" I said, twitching my right eye. Kairi smiled, "I can't help it" she said, shrugging.

Sora had a cup of punch in one hand, he took a sip. "This punch makes you feel dizzy but you can't help but to drink more" Sora said, sipping again. Namine sighed, and patted his shoulder.

"Don't you ever hear rumors about people spiking drinks?" Namine asked, trying hard not to burst in to laughter. Sora only arched an eyebrow, shrugged and took yet another sip of the punch.

Sighing, Namine and Kairi just shrugged. Sora was just too stubborn.

The three friends walked off, leaving a poor clueless Axel behind. "Namine!" Shouted Axel, looking around for Namine. She was nowhere in sight, Axel swearing before stomping off somewhere.

Roxas PoV

"I want to know what you said to Namine!" Rayna screeched at me.

I glared at her, for the thousandth time. "I told you already Rayna, all Namine did was thank me for saving her that one day!"

Rayna still looked unconvinced, she winced when I rose my voice to her. She decided not to push it any further and left the subject alone for a while, atleast thats what I thought. Instead, she goes and acts all sweet to me, trying to find out what we said to each other, bit by bit.

"Did Namine mention me?" Rayna asked me one time when we were dancing in the big crowd. I thought for a moment, and remembered Namine's words. Don't worry, I know you and Rayna are close.
So technically, didn't Namine mention Rayna?

So I nodded my head, and Rayna's fake smile turned to a scowl, "What did she say?!" Rayna snapped. She must have forgotten her pretend-to-be-nice voice, because she quickly covered her mouth with her palm and gigged.

"Whoops, sorry." Rayna said softly, a fake smile on her lips. "What did she say?" She asked in that annoying trying to be seductive voice. Realizing I just got Namine in trouble, I quickly changed the subject.

"Let's get some punch" I quickly added, Rayna had a disappointed look on her face. She scowled and snapped out a "Fine".

We both walked down to the punch table, me pouring a cup of blood red punch into her cup. Without a 'thank you', Rayna snatched the drink. She finished the whole cup before I started pouring the punch into mine. "Roxas, sweetie, I'll be back in a jiffy" Rayna said, batting her eyelashes. An evil smile curled against her lips. Before I began to answer, she gave me a peck on the cheek. "Thanks, sweet pea. I knew you'd understand.

Shrugging, I waited for Rayna patiently. She was like, gone inside the crowd at the dance floor. Scanning the room, I caught sight of Namine. But something about the people around her caught my eyes. I could remember those brown spikes anywhere. My body went numb, and I remembered my two other best friends. Kairi, the smart, loving girl. And Sora, that childish little kid any girl would love.

I grinned, that cheesy grin I never had plastered on my face in months. I had to admit, I missed my best bud Sora. We had each others back since pre-k, and it wasn't going to change now. I glanced over my shoulder one more time in case Rayna was coming back. When she didn't come back I was convinced she left me.

I was about to walk over to the group of my "old buddies", and I looked at Rayna tugging on my shoulder. "Where are you going?" Rayna asked, wide eyed, tugging on my arm harder. How did she come out of nowhere?

I sighed, a little annoyed. I had been so excited to see Kairi and Sora again, that I wished Rayna would flip off somewhere else. "Where were you?" I asked Rayna, with wondering eyes.

Rayna curled her tongue to her front teeth, "Nowhere important", she snapped at me. I tried not to flinch when her voice got higher.

"Where were you going?" Rayna asked, pulling herself closer to me so she was leaning on me basically. Trying not to fall flat on my face from her weight, I simply told her I was on my way to look her for, Rayna looking pleased for a quick moment.

"For a moment I thought you were walking toward Namine and her dorky friends" Rayna said, a tone of mock in her voice.

"Stop. Namine and her friends aren't close to dorky" I growled through clenched teeth, hissing maybe. Rayna heard the threat in my voice, so she didn't mention much anymore.

---

Still Roxas's POV-

Pretty soon, Rayna got in the topic of shit talking Namine and her friends again. I knew she was testing if I still had feelings for Namine, so I lied and joined in with her shit talk, feeling guilty on each word that came out of my mouth.

"I can't believe you dated that little skeez" Rayna said, rolling her eyes in annoyance. My hands turned to fists, as I tried not to snap back for Namine's defense.

My throat got dry as I croaked out, "Yeah, I know. Stupidest thing in the world I've done."

Rayna gave an evil grin as she hugged me, "Now be honest. Who was better for you. That freakish Namine thing, or me."

This question was unexpected, so I gave a blank face. I didn't bother hugging her back. Rayna gave a surprised look, a scowl plastered on her face. "It's her then" Rayna glared, looking the other direction.

"No, I didn't say that-" I started, only to get but off by Rayna.

"Then what are you saying?" Rayna asked, her eyes had the look of terror. I thought of the good times I had with Rayna, but then flashbacks of Namine and I reflected without being asked.

"Namine, I'm moving..." Roxas said, looking at the floor. Namine's heart shattered to a million pieces.

"W-W-Why...?" Namine said a look of depression in her eyes.

"When my mom found out what Riku and Seifer did...she wanted me to move far away as possible from them." Roxas said, as he didnt dare look into Namine's eyes.

"Oh...So I guess this is goodbye?" Namine said, a tear falling from her eye. Roxas sighed, taking Namine's hands in his.

"No, we will see each other again. No matter how far we will be...I want you to know one thing. I'm madly in love with a girl. And her name would be,Namine." Roxas said, in a serious tone. Namine had never seen a mood like this in Roxas.

"Umm...oh." Namine said, a tear falling from her eye. She wiped it quickly and hugged Roxas, "Just promise me this, where ever you are, you'll find me."

Roxas hesitated for a moment, and hugged back. "I promise"

I gave a frustrated grunt, "I don't know Rayna, I just don't damn know."

Rayna closed her eyes, tightly as if to take back what I said, "I see" was all she told me. " I'll be in the girls room. Go have your own party and have fun." Rayna told me, a weak yet disappointed smile on her face. Before I could explain why I couldn't choose between the two of them, Rayna stormed off.

'Go have your own party...'

Even if it seemed mean to leave Rayna unhappy, I wasn't going to miss out on the old gang. Quickly before Rayna could change her mind, I looked around for Sora's noticeable hair. I finally found Sora, and he was slurping down the punch, two full cups in his hands.

"Sora!" I called out, trying to reach him through the thick crowd at the dance. Sora turned around, looking for the person calling him. He was alone, eyebrow raised, and sipping the punch at his left hand.

"Sora over here!" I tried to call, but muffled as the same fat guy came in front of me. Trying not to get fully squished alive, I raced toward Sora, and once getting out of the crowd, I was panting. I reached forward, clutching my knees to take in a few breaths. Sora was right in front of me, his cups of punch accidently dropped to the floor.

"Woah dude, Roxas?" Sora asked, scratching the back of his head.

I rolled my eyes, "No, I'm a guy named Nick Spitz."

"Oh sorry Nick, you look exactly what my friend in highschool would look like today" Sora said, looking at the spilled punch on the floor, mumbling a 'damn'.

"Sora you fag, of course I'm Roxas!" I spat out, looking at the mixed reactions on Sora's face. First of all, Sora had a confused look on his face- wait, he always looked like that. Second, Sora looked surprised, like he had just seen a dancing hamburger just now. And third, he had happy look on his face.

"Roxas! Long time no see bud." Sora grinned happily, reaching out his hand for out 'handshake'. I looked at it blankly and tried to remember the steps to the handshake. Was it punch the shoulder first and then high five and then the rest of the shit, or was it do the shit first, then the punch and then highfive? I struggled to remember but Sora only chuckled and looked the other way.

"You looked like me when you first taught me how to do it" Sora grinned, shaking his head as if ashamed.

"Shut up, If I looked like you I would be looking completely confused, and thinking about Kairi in a bikini" I snapped back smartly, grinning like mad at Sora's scarlet face. Doing his ever so famous pout, he stomped his foot like a first grader.

"Speaking about Kairi", I quickly said before Sora's face could get any redder, "Where is she and Namine?"

Sora rolled his eyes, "The ladies room. They only went there because I couldn't"

The two of us obviously knew what the two "teenaged" girls were talking about. Usually they talked about things they wouldn't want us to hear. Usually Kairi would talk about how "ah-dorable" Sora looks, and then Namine would magically turn the topic to me. I know this because I actually managed to sneak into a bathroom stall, and listening without being noticed.

I doubt Namine talks about me anymore, probably sucking up to that Axel kid. The thought of Axel made my hands curl to fists, "I hate that guy" I whispered to myself.

"What did you say?" Sora asked, thinking that I was talking to him.

"I said, I like apple pie" I lied as I lifted up my annoying prince- like pants that puffed out in an ugly fashion. Eyebrow arched in a what-the-fuck way, Sora shrugged.

"Is Namine mad at me?" I blurted out, surprised how it had come out.

Sora sighed, thinking, "A little heart broken, yes. But I don't think she is mad at you...but yeah, she's pissed at your girlfriend". I was stunned for a minute about Namine being mad at Rayna, but then I wondered how Sora knew about Rayna.

"How do you know I have a girlfriend?" I asked, though it sounded kind of distanced, as if I didn't really care. Sora must have ignored or not even notice the tone of my voice as he replied in his cheerful voice that he knew because Kairi and Namine got into a fight with her in the mall, resulting in a smoothie, ice-cream, fist fight. And that the fight caused a lot of attention. As if disappointed by my taste in girls, Sora shook his head in disapproval.

"What?" I asked, glaring at Sora's rude gesture.

Sora only sighed, the childish sigh that Kairi would adore. "Don't get mad at me for saying this, but it's the truth. Dude, Rox, Rayna's a bitch." Sora said, stuffing his hands in his pocket, well he tried to. He didn't seem to have pockets in his costume.

My left eye twitched, and I swatted the back of Sora's head with my now sore hand. "How the fuck can I not get mad, when you go and tell me my girlfriend is a bitch!" I glared, but I knew that deep down I was laughing because it was true, so it was pretty hard not to laugh.

Then the next moments became a blur because all I remember was someone yelling, "Fight by the girls restroom!".

It struck me instantly, Rayna must have seen Namine and Kairi walk off, and she and her friends must have followed. Pissed off, I grabbed Sora's arm, "Lets go!"

Third Person POV/// Its Before Someone Yelled Out Fight

Namine and Kairi were in the restrooms, reapplying makeup that smeared from sweating. "What do you think about Axel?" Namine asked, trying not to blink, as her mascara wand applied a new batch of black thickness to her eyelashes. Kairi on the other hand was powdering her nose, the powder being a pale color.

Kairi shrugged, "I guess you could say he is hott"

Namine only sighed, obviously Kairi was lying, since Kairi's version of hot is a guy with spiked brown hair and ocean blue eyes. "Kay, I'm ready to go, you?" Namine asked, putting her mascara container away. Quickly, she got out her delicious tasting lip gloss, and in one quick movement of her wand, put a shiny coat upon her lips.

Kairi put away her things, and she and Namine were out of the girls room. But before the two could go back to the dance, they were stopped by the "trio".

How could they be stupid enough to think they would have a Rayna-free night? The three girls stood planted on the ground, each wearing a skanky outfit.

Yuna, supposedly it was her, was wearing a super short black witch dress, purple ribbons dangling around her bony body. On top of her head, to the side was a hat, and she was carrying a stylish yet tacky broom. Rayna wore her princess outfit, and a plastic tiara on her head, she was holding onto a cup of punch. Yuffie was wearing an outfit that just right away tells you that Little Bo Peep gone slutty, with a girly stuffed sheep.

By the looks of it, Rayna looked straight at Namine, and her teeth gnarled together, as if she was refraining to eat Namine any second. Kairi moved in front of Namine defending her. Namine wasn't a fighter, she was just so bony and weak she couldn't land a punch on Rayna without hurting her own fist.

Rayna only flashed her eyes at Kairi's direction for a second, and then turned her gaze back toward Namine. "I think you win my vote as wearing the cheapest, fugliest, and dorkiest costume in the whole party" Rayna snickered, as she checked Namine's outfit out. Namine's face turned bright red, from embarressment and anger, but she didn't have the look to cry.

"Where are you going after the party? Slut Land?" Kairi snapped back, in Namine's defense. Rayna and her groups eyes flickered to Kairi, and they only glared.

"Atleast my dress my dress isn't stained" Rayna shot back.

"Well thats too bad, because my dress isn't stained" Kairi said, a tone of confidence in her voice.

Rayna only smiled, a look of innocence...only for a moment. "That could be arranged" Rayna said, as she took her cup of punch and dumped the red juice onto Kairi's dress. Kairi's face was flushed red from anger. Rayna's group grinned and laughed, saying "Buuuurnnn!" and laughing some more.

Knowing Kairi, she wasn't going to stand for this. Kairi didn't cry, though she looked like it. "You bitch" Kairi said, as she closed her eyes and calmed down.

Rayna had a bored look on her face, "Yeah, I get that a lot"

"Good" Kairi said, as she screamed and thrust herself onto Rayna, and the two of them were on the floor, fist fighting and hair pulling.

Rayna dug her nails into Kairi, since Kairi was busy pulling her hair. The yanking stopped, as Kairi pulled her arm back in pain, and ran her hand through the spot where Rayna's nails had left a mark.

Then Namine realized it was Kairi versus three, and soon enough, Yuna came into the fight using her broom stick to smack Kairi. Kairi didn't seem to care, as her main battle was with Rayna. So then Namine came to help, even if she was weak, but Kairi was in trouble.

So basically the battle was:

Namine vs. Yuffie&Yuna
Kairi vs. Rayna

Namine strugged to fight the two girls, as Yuna used her broom as a weapon, and Yuffie tried using her stuffed sheep to trip-and-smack Namine. Namine was sprawled on the floor, Yuffie and Yuna sat on either side of her, and kicking and slapping Namine. Namine only blinked, to bring back the tears that tried to fall off.

"Roxas ten times happier with Rayna then he was with you!" Yuna shrieked as she continued landing punches on Namine, making Namine almost lay unconcious, but she fought the urge to keep on going.

Namine finally knew what the fight was about, Roxas. Giving a frustrated scream, and as if she was suddenly given more energy to fight. She got up, a shoved the two other girls onto the floor. Namine grabbed Yuna's broom stick, and ran toward Kairi and Rayna, who were both brusied and bleeding.

"Stop it!" Namine cried out, a look of annoyance on her face. This fight was about Roxas, how irritating was it to keep telling Rayna she didn't like her boyfriend like that!

When the two fighting girls refused to listen, Namine used Yuna's broom stick to seperate them, and then Namine helped Kairi up.

Namine's POV.

I had a look of annoyance on my face and my eyes felt like there was dancing fire in them. I faced Rayna, no longer afraid of what she was going to do to me. Rayna looked terrible, I got to give Kairi her credit because Rayna's nose was bleeding, and Rayna had a bruise near her left eye, her bottom left chin, and on her right cheek.

Rayna held her nose, trying to stop the bleeding, but she gave an evil snicker, "Namine, you fight like a sissy" Rayna snapped, menace in her voice. I ignored her, she could make fun of me all day and I still couldn't care.

"Why do you always think I'm in love with Roxas?" I demanded to know, as I saw Rayna's snicker turn to a grin.

"When is it never Roxas to you?" Rayna shot back, and I could feel my fists begging to strike her.

This once, I let them do what my fists wanted, and I ended up bitch slapping Rayna.
