Quick updates ; u ; Maybe this is a bad thing I'm doing but I've been home for the past couple days (sick) so I've been writing for this story a lot more now! That chapters are short too though, I mean I'm already on Chapter 5 and they're still in the first day of school;;;
It's really hard for me to express some characters, so I hope I'm doing an okay job at it!
I also haven't put this disclaimer in for a bit so

You guys might have also noticed that I have a lot of FF13 characters as teachers~ It was so hard for me to write Coach Villiers all the time instead of Snow, I really dislike calling him Coach ; -; but I have to deal with it for my own story * n *! I also took the time to make up a schedule for the main characters. I might make schedules for the others but that be so much work since it was already hard planning who's classes each person will be in, and making sure to not have Chocolina (Yes Chocobocolina from FF13-2 LOL) not doing two different Spanish Classes at once! But here is the link to it (.). It's all colorful and everything, I made it very easy for me to read so I could just look for matching colors ; u ;. I hope i'm able to put links in this, I looked at rules and stuff and didn't see anything about it so ` u `. If i'm not allowed to put links please inform me ASAP!11!1!1!1
Edit: Lol yes as you can see the link turned into a dot OTL I'll try putting it on my profile so look there if you're interested!
Okay, onto Chapter Five!~
Chapter Five
Everything seemed calm and peaceful to him until a white haired boy came up and broke through the silence.
"Hey, what's your name?" He asked, sitting down to his knees in front of the brunette.
"S-Sora!"
The latter boy smiled. "I'm Riku!"
"Rikku? Like the pixie!" Sora looked at the boy in awe. Sora's mom would always read him stories about The Gullwings, which was a group of three pixies; Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. They were explorers who would find new treasures everywhere they went and would carry them back home to their Pixie village so that it could flourish.
"N-No," Riku blushed. "Riku, like the land. R-I-K-U, Riku!"
Sora still didn't quite understand. The mind of a four year old was not that expansive in understanding anything but fairytales and fantasy. "Okay, Ri-Ku." He pronounced slowly, emphasizing on the 'ku' and giving a cheeky smile.
Selphie hopped her way down the bleachers to the glossy wooden floor and over to Coach Villiers. "Coach Villiers?"
"What is it now?" He sighed, looking at the sheet of paper on his clipboard. The sassy girl put her hands on her hips. "Am I still guaranteed my spot on the team this year?"
"Yeah, just like everyone else."
Selphie cheered to herself in her head, and then something clicked. "But wait," she said. "Leon graduated last year."
Villiers looked up at her. "Oh yeah, you're right...," He began to ponder what to do. "Satoshi, get down here!" He yelled at Riku, who came down and stood next to Selphie. The coach began to quickly write something on a sheet of paper and handed it over to Riku. "I want you two to go over to the other classes and announce try outs for a fielder position on the team."
"But doesn't that still leave about ninety-eight percent of the school population needing to know?" Riku blatantly stated.
"'Ninety-eight percent of the population'," The coach mimicked irritably. "Of course I know that. I'll get the student news to make an announcement next week, but I'm sure the information would spread from these couple classes."
"Let's go, Riku!" Selphie pulled him along with her to the other side of the gym. As they were leaving Coach Villier's had quieted his class and began to tell them about the tryouts.
"Why are we announcing for tryouts?" Riku sighed, sounding irritated.
"You were wrong this morning," Selphie pointed out, earning a confused look from the teen. "Leon was a senior and he graduated!"
"Oh." Riku felt a bit dumbfounded. But then again, who really ever remembered Leon? Selphie, that's who.
The two stood in the center of the gym. Selphie pointed over to the freshmen class, "freshmen first!" she said.
Sora was watching all of their movements, wondering what they were doing. "Sora!" Roxas snapped in his face, frowning.
Sora quickly turned to Roxas and Axel, pursing his lips. "I'm here, I'm here!"
"Welcome back to Earth, kid." Axel said. Sora noticed he was sitting in between the two.
"You guys finally stopped bickering?" He nervously smiled.
"As long as Axel keeps his hands off me." Roxas stated.
"Yeah, yeah." Axel blew him off, making his hand do a 'shooing' motion in Roxas' face. The blondes face fell flat as he glared at the latter.
"Okay class," The female teacher yelled, grabbing all of her students' attention. "I'm Oerba Yun Fang, just call me Fang, don't make any fusses, and we'll get along well!" Her accent sounded as if she wasn't natively from Destiny Islands. It kind of reminded Sora of his art teacher's accent, but more pronounced. She seemed pretty tough, maybe even quite wild, most likely an animal lover too. "Though I wasn't your teacher last year, I'm pretty sure all the rules are the same. Each day everyone must change unless told otherwise and-." She stopped, seeing Riku and Selphie at her side. They began to exchange a few words, not loud enough for Sora and the others to hear.
"Hey look, I think I found who Sora was staring at!" Axel teased, noticing Sora's face turn a sharp red. Sora quickly hid it as he bent over, face to his legs and forehead resting on his folded arms. Roxas lightly laughed.
"Okay, I'll be letting these two take over for a bit." Fang moved aside and the two turned to face the class.
"Hi everybody," Selphie cheerfully yelled. "I'm sure you all already know us by now, and if you don't then-" She closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out, which signaled Riku's signature eye roll. He looked at the sheet of paper. "Uh, previously the Blitzball team was filled but since one of our players graduated last year, a spot is open." He said, clearly not as enthusiastically as Selphie. The class seemed to get more interested now, their minds filling with the thought of becoming a star player like popular good looking Riku who probably got all the girls he ever wanted , which appealed to the guys, or even Selphie who was always so skinny and toned, and what girl doesn't want to look like that. Perfect role-models.
"The spot that's open is a spot as fielder," Selphie continued off of Riku. "More information on that will be held at the tryout meeting in the next two weeks on September twelfth, which is a Wednesday." Selphie looked around at each student, searching. "Is a Sora Hibari here?" She asked. Riku looked at her from the corner of his eyes, seeing a snake like smile appearing on her face.
Sora, head still in his lap, panicked. He sat up to see everyone staring at him. Raising his hand slowly, he nervously smiled. "We'll be looking forward to seeing you at try outs!" Selphie finished. She and Riku then walked off back to their original class. Everyone began to whisper, and Sora could hear his name being said in a couple sentences.
"What's that about?" Roxas asked, looking at Sora. Axel questionably looked at him too.
"I don't know." Sora whined, slumping his head back down. 'Why me? Why me?' He cried in his thoughts.
"You should join kiddo." Axel encouraged.
"I really hope you're joking," Roxas looked at Axel, blue eyes beaming. "Sora would get pummeled and plus, he'd be around Riku. I'd rather have him die from old age than murder."
"Heyyy," Sora sat back up, a frown upon his tanned face. "Riku isn't a bad person. And I wouldn't get pummeled, I can be tough!"
"Yeah," Axel put his hands behind his head and leaned back. "As tough as a watermelon."
Sora pursed his lips. "I am tough!"
The teacher began talking to the class again. She went through some of the activities they were to be doing as well as what is to be expected from the students. The bell rang at the end of the class and the students began to walk to their next classes. Sora was hopping down the bleacher seats, next to his friends. "Hey, Hibari!" He heard Selphie's voice from the other side of the gym. He turned his head whilst hopping to the next step to look over to the culprit of the call, though that proved to be the wrong thing to do since he ended up tripping over the back of one of the bleacher rows and tumbled down to the bottom. Roxas, Axel, Riku, and Selphie stopped in their tracks, staring at the boy falling down the bleachers in disbelief and somewhat shock. "Hmph," Riku flipped his long white hair, looking to the side at the floor. "Not the brightest kid you're choosing to possibly ruin." He murmured. Selphie hunched over, sighing.
"Sora," Roxas was the first to move towards the hurt brunette. He kneeled down at his side. "Are you okay?"
Sora sat up, rubbing the back of his head. "I think so." He said, still feeling a bit of pain from the tumble. Axel came to his side as well. Selphie then arriving, Riku walking in beside her.
Roxas looked over to them angrily. "What do you two want? You've already caused enough trouble." His hands balled into fists at his sides.
"We're sorry," Selphie waved her hands in front of her. "We didn't expect him to trip, honestly!"
"It's okay." Sora stood up, turning to look at the two.
Riku looked the boy up and down, his teal eyes stopping at Sora's face. "Your nose is bleeding."
Sora blushed and quickly covered his nose with his hand, feeling some of the droplets fall into his palm. "Roxas," He whined, slightly sobbing. "Take me to the nurse before something even worse happens!"
Riku started walking off. "C'mon Selphie, we're going to be late to class."
"O-Okay," She began to jog over to him. "We really hope you attend tryouts, Sora." She smiled. They exited the gym.
"Roxas, are you alright with going alone with Sora?" Axel asked, receiving a nod from Roxas. "I'll head off to my next class then. And you should hurry before he ends up staying his uniform. Bye honey!~" He ran off, leaving a growling Roxas and sobbing Sora behind.
Riku and Selphie were walking to their shared English class. "Don't you think he's really interesting," Selphie asked. "What if he makes it onto the team?"
"Do you really think a kid who can barely walk without tripping over his own two feet will make it on to a Blitzball Team?" Riku sighed, hands in his pockets.
"Maybe you're just scared he'll steal your lime light!"
"Pfft," Riku grinned. "Nice joke, Selphie." Selphie stuck her tongue out at him, giggling.
Hope you enjoyed this! I already have part of the next chapter written so expect it in a day or two.
