I tried to ignore the ringing noise of my cellphone in my ear. Whoever was calling was being persistent, they'd called how many time now? I think three, maybe four, I'd kind of lost count. Well it was way to early in the morning for anyone to be calling me and actually expecting me to answer.

I opened one of my eyes, peering a a small clock on the nightstand next to my bed. It was 12:45.

It took my mind a few seconds to register the fact that I had plans for noon with Riku. Then it took another few seconds to register that I was 45 minutes late.

I sat up, restraining from screaming out profanities through my house. With such a small place my mom would be sure to hear them. Then again, she was probably working at the moment.

I quickly picked up the ringing phone, looking down at the caller I.D. Sure enough, it was Riku calling; I had six missed calls. Oops.

"Hello?" I asked sweetly in the phone. I could hear him sighing on the other end.

"Hey Naminé, finally decide to wake up?"

"Well actually you didn't give me much of a choice..."

I heard him laughing on the other end along with the sound of voices chattering in the background, "Who you with?" I inquired, "Sora and Kairi?"

"Actually the whole group. Wakka, Selphie, Tidus, Kairi, Sora..."

"I love how you put your best friend last."

"Like he's actually important." I couldn't help but giggle at the sound of Sora in the background complaining about being unappreciated, "So, when you coming? All of us are going to go to the beach. Plus me and you are still going to talk later."

I knew exactly what he meant by that, "Yeah, just let me get dressed real quick. Where are you guys?"

"Sea Shack Diner."

"Be there in a few, bye."

"See ya, Naminé."

I hung up the phone. Quickly throwing on a green and white polka-dotted bikini, some tan shorts, and a brown tank. I dialed my mom's cell number into my phone while throwing a towel into a beach bag.

"Hey Mom."

"Hey sweetie."

"I'm gonna go to the beach to hang out with some friends. I'll be home later, kay?"

"That's fine. Be home by eleven, I have to talk to you."

"Ok Mom, love you."

"Love you too, Sweetie."

I hung up the phone again, stuffing it into her beach bag. Since I didn't really need to look nice, I threw up my hair into a ponytail and stuck a pair of big rimmed sunglasses on top of my head.

That didn't take very long.

My stomach grumbled in hunger and I knew that I should probably eat something...

Then again I was already late.

Deciding that I needed to eat something I grabbed a chewy bar and rushed out the door. Realizing that I would have to walk there since my car broke down, I quickened my pace a bit. It was a good thing that the island I lived on in Destiny Islands was so small. Actually it was one of the larger ones, but not as large as the main one. That's where our school and stuff was, all that was on ours were houses and restraunts. That and a few hotels.

Perfect for tourism I guess.

When I finally reached the Sea Shack diner, I heard a squeal coming from inside. It was Selphie.

"Naminé!" She shrieked in my ear, running up and wrapping me in a bear hug, "I thought you had died or something..."

"Nope I'm a live..."

"Well that's good." She grinned, releasing me from her grip, "You look cute. New bathing suit?"

"You betcha."

"Cool!" She ran back over to the table. Riku patted the seat next to him for me to sit down.

"I ordered you something to eat, figured you'd be hungry." He said casually, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, "So you better be or else you'll have wasted my money."

"I'm starving!" I giggled, "So what're the plans for today?"

"Beach, stuff, more stuff, probably some for stuff, us talking then...who knows."

"Sounds great."

"Oh my gosh! Naminé you will not believe this!" Kairi interrupted, "I heard next year we're gonna have to wear uniforms to school!"

"No way."

"Yes way."

"That's not cool."

"No it isn't. Can you see me in a long blue plaid skirt. Supposedly its a 'nation' wide thing. All schools here are required to where uniforms."

"Only in America." Sora grumbled in between bites as he stuffed his face with shrimp.

"So our school's colors are blue?"

"Awwwhhh, I wish they were yellow!" Selphie whined. She punched Tidus, who was sitting next to her, in the arm, "Tidus, I want yellow uniforms!"

"What am I supposed to do about it?"

"Start a protest."

"Sorry Selph, I don't even like the color yellow."

"I'd look so cute in a yellow tie though..."

"Ties?" I practically yelled. Please don't tell me Selphie just said we were wearing...

"They're really cute!"

"Selphie..."

"Yepperz?"

"I have to agree with Tidus."

A waiter came by and set down to crab cakes in front of me, my favorite of course. Everyone that knew me only a little knew I was obsessed with them.

I shoveled them into my mouth, ignoring the conversation that surrounded me. I could really care less about uniforms really, they probably wouldn't be to bad.

"So who's ready for the beach, ya?" Wakka asked, causing me to start paying attention.

I nodded my head in an attempt to respond, I don't think anyone saw though.

Oh well, we were still going.

"Riku it's cold!" I knew I sounded whiny, but the water was freezing. Freezing like...a cup of ice water freezing.

Cold enough?

"Awh come on Naminé! Don't be such a baby." He scooped me up and I tried to kick my way out of his arms, I really did. Problem was that he's way to strong for me, way to strong.

Everyone was laughing at me as I stood up in the freezing cold water, I probably looked like a wet dog.

"Riku!" I yelled, hitting him on the shoulder. I could see him wince in pain. I hope that hurt.

"Naminé!" Selphie waved at me, a wide smile on her face, "Let's jump the waves!"

I laughed as a wave came by and crashed down on her and Kairi, causing them both to scream. Now both of them were soaked. I didn't feel as...wet...now.

We jumped the waves for the while then all of us girls went on the beach to tan. We watched the four boys splash each other and throw mud on each other. Boys will always be boys.

"So how are you and Riku?" Kairi asked, pulling her wide rimmed shades over her eyes.

Oh yeah, Riku and I have been dating for the past eight months, "We're pretty good. How bout you and Sora?"

"He took me on a date yesterday."

"Awh really!" Selphie said excited, sitting up from her towel and propping herself up on her elbows, "Was it cute?"

"Mhm...he took me to watch the sunset on our island."

"Our play island!" Selphie squealed in excitement, "That place was so much fun! I love it when we all get to hang out there!"

"I do too, and that is soooo romantic." I cooed, leaning over and pinching Kairi's cheek, "I bet you blushed the whole time!"

"I did not!" She whined, scrunching her face up.

Selphie and I laughed, there was nothing that could separate us, ever.

I already knew what was coming as Riku and I walked along the beach. It had to at least be 9:30, all our friends were gone.

"So we both just need a break..." He had been babbling about us both needing a break from each other for the past 30 minutes. It was mutual actually, we both had agreed on it earlier. We had just come tonight to settle it once and for all. No hard feelings, no bad relationships, just friends.

It actually seemed like a good idea to me because with a new school year comes new guys...

I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of happy about this break up.

"No hard feelings." I reminded him, "You can stop babbling, this is mutual remember?"

He smiled down at me, "It's gonna be hard without you Naminé."

"Pft. I'll be right here. Best friends no matter what."

"We'll get back together one day." He grinned, wrapping me in a tight hug, "I love you, Naminé."

I gave him a quick hug back, "I love you too, Riku. I'm gonna head back, kay?"

He nodded his head and waved me goodbye. He had offered to walk me home, but I told him it was fine. Single at last. Was it bad that I wanted a little freedom. I mean, I really did love Riku and all but...I'm still in high school, I don't need a long term relationship yet.

I was ready for the new school year.

I was sitting on the couch when my mom walked in. She looked tired from working all day, but at the same time she seemed a little nervous.

Maybe it was what she said she wanted to tell me earlier.

"Hey Mom." I greeted, giving her a small smile, "How was work?"

"Not the best. Happy to leave though, that was a tough job."

Woah, rewind...what?

"Huh?"

"Honey...there's something we need to talk about." She sat down on the couch next to me and wrapped her arm around me, "Honey, you know how things have been tough since your father left."

I cringed at the mentioning of him, no hard feelings? Yeah right.

"Yeah."

"Well sweetie, I found this dating site and there's this really nice man and..." She stopped and looked at me, "...Sweetie we're moving to Twilight Town."

I looked at her for a second, not thinking she was serious.

She was, being serious, and I was moving to Twilight Town.

Just great.
