Phone Calls and Dinner Calls
"Naminé, would you stop throwing a little hissy fit! For God's sake it was a joke."
I was NOT throwing a hissy fit. Maybe if Roxas hadn't been acting like such a jerk I wouldn't be in such a bad mood. Maybe if he hadn't made me embarrass myself in front of my whole class on my first day of school, I would be a little nicer to him.
Lunch had been fantastic. Seifer actually enjoyed having me around, unlike Roxas, and he made a point of making sure I knew he wanted me around. Every time one of his friends started pestering me or making me uncomfortable he'd step in, and as he put it, 'set them straight'.
And he's really hot.
Unfortunately after lunch my day had gotten completely ruined, no thanks to the unruly, self centered, blithering idiot that was currently trying to make up for his mistake. Not only that, but he wasn't even really sorry. The only reason he was trying to win my forgiveness is because Hayner had threatened him if he tried to do otherwise.
My day had gone perfectly fine without little Roxie, but he always had to put a word in. After lunch, I just had to have my next class with him.
Of course, because life would be too easy if I was actually able to avoid him the whole day.
Before I even had a chance to make a good impression on my fellow classmates, Roxas had stormed over to my desk.
"What the hell are you doing talking to him?!"
Okay, so I had already known he would be pissed about Seifer, but he's the one who told me to leave.
"He's my friend. I'm allowed to talk to him."
"Really, your friend? You think Seifer fucking gives a shit about you?" Roxas was really really really really really really angry. Part of me was rejoicing at the fact that I had semi gotten him back for all the trouble he's put me through so far, but part of me was wondering why he hated Seifer so bad.
"He's nicer to me then you are."
By now we already had the attention of the whole class. None of them were actually looking at us, but you could tell that all conversation had died off and that everyone's ears were listening in.
Couldn't he have waited for a time that was a little more... private? Of course not! He had to make a scene in front of everyone.
"He's nice to you because he wants you."
"Wow, I finally feel appreciated."
"If you feel appreciated by him, then you're just a little slut."
The whole class started whispering under their breath amongst each other. As if I actually couldn't hear what they were saying.
Roxas just called her a slut for talking to Seifer!
Woah! She's talking to Seifer? I thought he said that he...
Wait til Seifer hear's about this...
Wow, Roxas is so straightforward...
How in the world is she talking to Seifer? He's the hottest guy in the whole school!
You think she really is a slut? If she is I would so totally tap...
I couldn't say anything in response. I didn't know these people. I didn't known anything about these people. Heck, I didn't know anything about Seifer. I couldn't even defend myself, because I didn't even know what I was defending myself against.
I stood up out of seat, glaring at the oh-so-satisfied Roxas who was leaning on the desk in front of me.
He was enjoying my misery. My embarrassment. Hy humiliation.
"I hate you." I only said it loud enough for him to hear, because I didn't need to make a spectacle in front of the whole class like he did.
With that, I walked out, because the last thing I wanted to see was that satisfied look on his face.

Hayner and Roxas had gotten the hint that I didn't want to talk to them after a few times of trying to open my locked door.
I was not in the mood to accept anyone's apology, and there was no way in the world I wanted to talk to either of them at the moment. I wasn't really mad at Hayner, but I already knew Hayner didn't like Seifer. He'd had to explain to me the whole car ride home how he had specifically told me not to talk to Seifer.
Not that I had been listening.
I was starting to calm down though. Earlier I had wanted to bury Roxas alive. Now, I just kind of wanted to strangle him.
See, not as violent.
I moved my head so that it wasn't buried into my pure white pillow. Reaching out for my cell phone. I'm sure Kairi wanted to know how my first day went.
I stood up off my bed, walking over to the door to unlock it.
If they tried to come in now I'd be on the phone.
"Naminé?" a voice asked as the ringing finally stopped.
"Yeah, it's me! Hey, Kairi!"
"Oh my goodness! Sora, Riku, it's Naminé!"
I laughed, glad to hear a familiar voice again.
"How are you, Dear?! How was school? How is life? How is... everything?!"
"Hi Naminé!"
"Hi Sora! Oh, and everything has been... good." Yes, I have come to realize I'm a liar, but I don't want Kairi and them to worry about me when I've only been here for a few days. "I miss home already."
"You better miss us! We all miss you like crazy! School is so empty without you!" Kairi started babbling on about some nonsense that was going on at her school that involved Selphie. Selphie always was the little drama queen of our group, but we loved her none-the-less.
"...but anyways that's not really important. Let's talk about you!"
I put the phone on speaker, setting down on the bed next to me.
"I'm having... fun. It's rather interesting over here."
"I hope you aren't having too much fun over there..."
"She probably is! Hey Namine, find any hot guys... better looking than Riku... AH RIKU"
I could hear Sora cowering as Riku continuously bonked him on the head. It wasn't as if Sora wasn't used to it. I'm surprised his whole body isn't bruised from Riku's beatings. He must be immuned to it by now
"Hahaha poor Sora... tell Riku I said hi."
"Riku says hi, but really... any hot guys?"
"Well... um... uh..."
"AWH do tell Namine! Who's the cute guy..."
"Well his name is..."
I jumped as the door to my room opened, revealing the last person I wanted to see. Why did I unlock it again?
Hold your temper Naminé, it's not a big deal.
"Roxas?"
"Roxas? Do you not know his name?"
"Oh no... Roxas is my mom's boyfriend's son..."
Wait. Hold on. That is NOT what I meant to say.
"Wait! NO that's not what I meant..."
"EW NAMINE THATS LIKE INCEST OR PREINCEST OR SOMETHING!"
"Preincest isn't even a word!"
"WHAT?! Namine likes her brother?" Great! Sora would blow things out of proportion big time
"NO! I DONT LIKE HIM!"
"Who're you talking about?" Why did he have to talk?! Why oh why could Roxas not be born mute?!
"Is that him? is that who you like? I WANNA TALK TO HIM!"
"Shut up Sora! I don't like anyone!"
I quickly grabbed my phone before anyone could say anything again, hanging it up. I let out a sigh of contentment. I really hoped Roxas hadn't heard all that.
"Okay, can you get out of my room now." I buried my face back into my pillow. Even if I had gotten over the whole him-being-jerk thing, I still didn't want to look at him.
"Do you want me out of your room?"
Bad time to be cocky Roxas, really bad time.
I got off my bed, trying to make the most intimidating glare that I could manage. "Get out!"
It didn't work. He just started laughing.
"Ha! Can you make that face again?"
"Get out of my room, Roxie!" He took another step into my room, his eyes wandering around as if he became uninterested in just looking at me.
I walked over to him, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him back through the door he came in through. It didn't work.
"Even if you're a tom-boy, you aren't strong enough to move me little girl."
I punched him in the stomach, causing him to bend over in pain. He gave a quick tug, pulling him outside of my room.
"That... was... cheap..." he mumbled as he straightened back up.
"I could've hit you somewhere else."
I tried to walk past him, back into my room, but he blocked the doorway. "Yeah, right. After that little ordeal you think I'll let you back in?"
I aimed for his stomach again but he caught my fist. "Nice try, Princess."
I was just about to start screaming at him when Hayner walked up.
Hayner saves the day!
"What are you two doing?" he asked. He tilted his head slightly as if the sight he saw before him was confusing.
"He wouldn't get out of my room!"
"I tried telling her that dinner was ready, but she just started yelling at me."
Oops.
"Would both of you just grow up and come down stairs. Your foods getting cold."
Roxas dropped my hand, following Hayner as they left for the dining room.
I take back anything I said earlier. I want to bury him alive.

"How was school?" my Mom pestered from across the table. "Did you have a good first day?"
"It was fantastic."
"You're saying that sarcastically."
"Maybe." I shoved a bite of chicken into my mouth.
"Did something go wrong?"
"Naw it wath gweat." I swallowed the chicken, giving her a sweet smile. "How was your day?"
"I got to go with Gippal to work!" She grinned, grabbing the aforementioned man's arm. "I've never been to a place with so many machines!"
"Rikku was a big help actually. She solved a problem that we've been working on for months. I didn't even know she knew anything about machines until day."
I could see my mom turn about 20 shades of red. It was cute, because I knew that when she was blushing she was in a really good mood. She hadn't for a while.
"You don't have to say it like that...!"
I blocked out the rest of the conversation, knowing that my opinion was no longer a part of it.
"Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day." Hayner smiled at me. At least he tried to be reassuring. "I've been thinking about the whole Seifer thing."
I didn't know guys had the mental capacity to think.
"If you really wanna talk to him, I'm not gonna get mad about it. But when he pisses you off I don't want you to get mad at us for not warning you."
I nodded my head, putting another piece of chicken into my mouth.
"Roxas agrees with me by the way."
He glared at Hayner before shooting his gaze back down to his food. "Whatever."
"Can... I sit with you guys at lunch tomorrow?" I asked. I'd feel rude if I came back uninvited.
"Of course you can."
"Only if you aren't as whiny as you were today." Roxas added in.
Wow, I'm excited already
