That night I laid in my bed listening to the sound of nothing all around me. Tomorrow I shouldn't be sore anymore and will be back on my feet pretty much. When I woke up the next day I quickly got my clothes on and headed outside to see Fuu waiting for me, as soon as she saw me heading down the steps she began to walk in the direction of the school. I blinked hard but didn't say anything. It's not like you can really talk to Fuu anyway… but soon I knew I would have to.

"So why are you here exactly?" I asked her making the girl stop and turn to me.

"For you." She stated as we neared the school. I noticed Seifer, Rai, and Vivi hanging out in front of the school, not far from my own group. When her leader noticed her he nodded. Fuu just nodded back and walked a little faster toward them… I don't think I'm that bad of company.

Suddenly Roxas was running up to me looking a little worried. "Are you doing okay?" He asked softly making me look at him oddly. The boy glared realizing I didn't understand and proceeded to poke me nice and hard in the stomach. I winced but didn't double over like I would have yesterday.

"I'm doing better today." I informed him softly and forced out a smile. He nodded slowly then took hold of my wrist and began to drag me over to the group. Before we could get there Seifer stepped out in front of us. He didn't look at Roxas at all, only having eyes for me.

"Go away Chickenwuss." He growled turning to Roxas. The boy glared at Seifer but then glanced over at me. I motioned for him to go ahead and go. I can handle myself a lot better than he can since I know Seifer while he doesn't give a fuck about him.

"What do you want?" I asked as the blond inspected me from head to toe before playing a finger lightly against the area on my stomach he had beaten yesterday. The bruise is still bad but a lot better from before. Suddenly he turned around and started to go.

"I don't think I could beat up a cripple… it would ruin my reputation." He said not even turning around. I glared after him but said nothing and headed over to Namine. She's the only one who understands in a way so I might as well stick to her. My friends looked me over but none of them knew what to say so they just went on like normal… like I wasn't there.

When the bell rang I headed into class and sat down where I'm supposed to. Seifer sat down beside me and said nothing. For a while it was easy just hanging out doing class work… ignoring the man next to me, and that's when it happened. A note appeared on my desk.

Okay it didn't just appear but it could very well have. I mean… why would Seifer give me a note? Quickly I opened it up and read through the note quickly.

Does it hurt?

I blinked in minor surprise then quickly wrote back asking 'does what hurt?' Sending the note back to him I tried to focus on the teacher but everything coming out of his mouth sounded like the adults in Charlie Brown. There's just no way for me to understand… instantly I got the note back.

Does it hurt knowing I'm going to beat you up after school?

I glared and glanced over at him seeing the blond with an arrogant smirk on his face. Sighing I continued to watch the teacher… the only words I was understanding were the ones that pretty much said I'll have no life this weekend since I'll be working on this class, bastard.

When class ended I hurried out of the classroom ignoring a frantic Olette. I don't care about her opinions at the moment or what she wants to talk about… I just want to train with Sora.

Luckily he didn't go easy on me.

"What's up with you?" I asked as he looked at me oddly. I could tell he was mad beyond belief. I did my best to dodge each attack but it was obvious he was going to tear me apart soon if I didn't pick up my game. It'll kill me but I probably need to.

"Vivi and I were talking about you yesterday." He growled. I stared at him in shock trying to understand. Instantly he made a lunge for my gut, I fell to the ground and rolled over then stood up and got serious.

"What were you two talking about that made you so mad?" I demanded feeling the pain in my stomach, at least this might help the stiffness in my joints, and also prepare me for the fight Seifer promised later on.

"He said you doubted something that is so stupid to disbelieve!" He cried not making any sense at all.

"What's wrong with you?" I shouted as Sora stopped fighting and collapsed to the ground.

"Seifer made Vivi break up with me. Fuu and Rai can't date either. They're going to be single for him… because Seifer can't be with the person he loves." Sora growled and then covered his face. I knew he was crying and I knew it hurt him a lot. Every time I saw him and Vivi together I knew it was love.

"I'm going to leave you alone." I whispered and kissed the top of his head before leaving the gym. I think practice is over today and I think I'm going to need to talk to Seifer. This is just wrong… he shouldn't force his friends to break up with the person they like just because he's stuck without someone! I would never do that to my friends! I doubt I even could…

Why would he do this?
