CHAPTER SIX: Smashed pieces
_____________________________________

"Rikku, stop that!"

Everybody halted in their actions and looked at the
young blonde standing in between the curtains.

"Gippal!" Rikku gasped in surprise. She then
shook her head, "Go away! Why are you doing this? Do you enjoy
embarrassing me in front of my friends?!"

Gippal smirked and shook his head, "Me
embarrassing you?! Look at yourself! You were about to..."

"That's none of your business, now leave!"
Rikku screamed and pushed him back through the curtains.

"No not without you, I'm taking you home!"
he said and started to pull her by her arm forcefully.

"What are you doing?! Gippal, ouch! You're
hurting me! Let go!" The perky blonde complained and tried to struggle
herself out of his grip. "Gippal!"

Yuna stood up and walked towards the quarrelling
couple. "Come on, Gippal. Why are
you ruining all the fun? She doesn't want to go with you, what part of that you
don't understand?"

"Although you look very sexy and oh so easy as
always Yuna, I have to say that this time you have gone too far. If it wasn't
for Rikku being your cousin, I'd already slapped you in you face, bitch. Mind your own business."

Yuna gasped in dismay and that's when Rikku threw up
on the floor.

"I don't feel so good..." she
whimpered. Gippal pushed Yuna out of the
way and kneeled next to Rikku.

"I'll drive you home, Rikku, it's alright."
He whispered and scooped her up, carrying her out of the lodge.

"Now that's one hell of a party crasher."
Paine whispered and stood up, standing next to Yuna.

"I hate him." the brunette muttered
underneath her breath. "No one makes a fool out of me."

Shuyin had just been watching the scene in silence and
felt like there was something that he had missed. "Who's this
Gippal?" he asked towards Tidus, who was still sitting next to him.

"Rikku's ex-boyfriend." The blonde muttered,
standing up. "He and Rikku have had an on and off relationship for quite a
while now."
Shuyin frowned and held back a chuckle, "And she
was still a virgin?"
"I get your point." Tidus whispered,
"Let's say that Gippal isn't that kind of guy... he's very protective when
it comes to her. I guess she got tired
of waiting for him to make a move... but she got what she wanted and I think she
didn't regret it, right?" He
chuckled and turned around to comfort Yuna. "I think we'll call it a
night, the mood isn't there anymore."

"Yeah, right." the Zanarkadian whispered and
stood up.

Bummer...

The next day at lunch, the group sat at the 'high
class' table in the cafeteria. All were
wearing sunglasses, to cover up their red-rimmed eyes. Yuna sat in Tidus' arms, eating grapes that
he was feeding her. Rikku wasn't present
but she had called them to say that she just couldn't get out of bed and that
she would be back tomorrow.

He felt like shit, his head was throbbing and his
vision was blurry. In one word he was a
mess, although he didn't look like it, he felt like it. Shuyin stood up to get a cup of coffee and
was so deep in thought, that he didn't notice the girl standing next to him by
the coffee machine. As he stood back up
with his cup in his hands, his eyes fell on a pair of long, slender legs under a
uniform skirt. Moving his gaze up, he
halted on the beautiful face smiling gently at him. For a moment they just looked at each other,
uncomfortable, and then she gave him a shy smile. Even though his head told him to just walk
away and leave her standing like she had done with him, his heart overcame his
feelings and he found himself smiling back.

Lenne...

"Hi." She nervously spoke, looking at her
feet.
"Hey." He answered, his heart beating
forcefully in his chest.

Say something then, you idiot! You see, I told
you you'd still like her.

"Umm..." she started, hoping to start a
conversation, "Why the glasses?"

Say something, now!

"It's for the drama classes."

Dumbass.

"You're telling me that you've signed yourself
up?" she asked the surprise evident in her voice. "Seriously?"

Shuyin scratched the back of his head, "Argh,
no... Just kidding." He smiled at her. She smiled back although her face
was still confused.

"There you are!"

Shuyin looked around and saw Yuna walking towards him,
her hips swaying seductively. "Hey, whats'up?" Shuyin said. The brunette put a hand on his left shoulder
and smiled at him.

"We got to go to math, are you ready?" Yuna
looked at Lenne and raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing with her? Is
she running after you or what?" she said with a hint of disgust in her
voice.

Shuyin looked at Lenne for a moment, who was looking
puzzled at him. He smirked and lifted
his shoulders, "I don't know. She seems to be everywhere I go or
something."

Yuna chuckled at him and he looked at her. In that moment Shuyin took a decision.
"Come here."
He grabbed the back of her head and pulled her to him,
pressing their lips firmly together.
Yuna smiled into the kiss and pressed herself more against him. He hadn't intended to go so deeply into it,
but she was definitely giving it all she had.

Finally he pushed her off him gently and turned to
look at Lenne. She wasn't standing there
anymore. His eyes scanned the room and
he saw her leaving through the exit in a daze.

This isn't right. What have I done?!

He felt Yuna's hand curl itself around his and
intertwining their fingers.

"Forget about her. We're better together. I'm glad you've come
to choose what's best for you." She turned his face towards hers and
softly kissed him again. "You'll see I'll take good care of you."

Her words hit him like a dash of cold water.

_____________________________________

What had she been thinking? Of course he had already moved on. It was understandable after the way she had
walked out on him yesterday... she had
known from the start that he was the flirtatious type... but he had seemed so
sincere in the way he had talked to her... in the way he had spoken those
gentle words against her skin...

"You liar..." she sobbed in front of the
toilet mirror, "I can't believe I've fallen for those cheap pick up
lines... I'm such an idiot!" she was more mad at herself for letting
herself be fooled by a high class spoiled brat... she even regretted the way
she had threaten him, even though he was an idiot...

The reason why she hated those snobby empty heads was
because she and her father had suffered a lot due to things such as stupid as
social status... Her mother had been the daughter of a rich ambassador and had
chosen her father, a mere history teacher as her husband. That union had caused a lot of havoc in her
mother's family and they absolutely refused to even be present when their
granddaughter was born. This had caused
a lot of sadness to her mother who used to be close to her family.
It eventually killed her.
Not much after Lenne had celebrated her ninth
birthday, her father got this job as headmaster in this school for rich
kids. He had accepted the job, in hope
to show the family of his wife that he could fit himself to the laws of the
high status.
They didn't even care and continued to threat him like
he was a piece of gum that was sticking on the bottom of their shoes.
Lenne's mother had been literally heartbroken about
this and had sunken into a depression.
Four months after Lenne's birthday in April, she died due to an overdose
mix of her pills. It all happened 10
years ago...
From then on she had vowed to herself that she
wouldn't let her life be messed up by the wealthy class of the society. Messing around with them only got you in
problems. But her heart was telling her that love overcame the boundaries of
classes. She had witnessed that so many
times during the moments that her mother and father had been happy
together. Love like that could work...
but it cost a lot of effort and endurance.

Lenne kept staring at her reflection and wiped away
the single tear that was running down her cheek. She softly chuckled and shook her head. "He doesn't want me anyway... he has
that... that bitch!" She could
barely restrain her anger as she spoke the words. She melancholically laughed and put a hand on
her forehead.
"I can't believe this... I'm jealous... But
what's the use? She is so much prettier
than me. Richer. Sexier. Even popular to
a fault. No wonder he fell for her. She
is everything I'm not... Why...?"
Her eyes watered up again and she started to sob
again.

Someone chuckled in a dark corner of the girls'
lavatory and Lenne spun around to find a smirking Paine looking at her.

"You forgot to say that that bitch doesn't pity
herself like you do. So woeful." She chuckled. Lenne took a step back and looked at her feet
in embarrassment.
"But I can understand you know." The
silver-haired girl continued, "My heart would break too if I found out
that the guy I'm hitting on had sex with a girl he only met a day before."
Paine could barely hold back laughter at the sight of the girl standing there
with her eyes wide open in shock.
Another tear rolled on Lenne's cheek as she felt her
heart officially break in two.

Paine finally let out a soft chuckle and turned around
to leave. "But of course I wouldn't be so foolish to hit on a guy who's
totally out of my league."
And with that she left and smacked the door shut
behind her, a large grin plastered on her face.

Usually she never let words harm her, but this time
she was so exposed and felt so miserable that she wished that she could just
die right now. Never had she felt
something like this. It was like the
remaining pieces of her heart were being cut up in tinier pieces and it hurt.

It hurt very badly.

_____________________________________

The day had passed by without anymore encounters with
Yuna, Paine or Shuyin. Lenne was so
grateful for this and as soon as the final bell rang at 3.30, she hastily made
her way out of the building, not wanting to let anyone see the tears she had
had to hold back.

After the long bus ride through downtown Bevelle, she
ran towards the coffee shop she worked and immediately shoved her school bag in
a corner of the kitchen, putting her working apron on.

"You're here early." Said a voice she
recognised as being that one of her boss, Gippal.

"I just had a rough day, okay? I don't want to
talk about it." She whispered, tying a knot in her apron and trying to
hide her watering eyes. Gippal put a
hand on her shoulder and turned her around.

"Stop. Sit down.
There aren't that much costumers yet, you can talk to me, Lenne. Was your day that bad?" he softly
whispered, rubbing her shoulder. She
sighed and closed her eyes. Turning her
face to look at him she took a deep breath and told him everything, after all
he was her friend and they had known each other since the beginning of the
summer when she had taken this job.
Gippal, 21 years old, had inherited a chain of coffee shops here in
Bevelle from an uncle. He was of high status too, but he didn't seem to care
what class she was. After she had told
him the whole story, she hadn't been able to hold back her tears.

"Oh, Lenne..." he whispered and took her in
his arms, while she let her tears run free once again. He knew who this Shuyin was... after he had
driven Rikku home this morning, they had fallen asleep together and woken up
around 12. She had told him about this
newcomer, and he had indeed remembered seeing a blonde guy resembling Tidus in
the club. After kissing and cuddling each
other, he and Rikku had gotten back together.
Now that he had heard Lenne's story, he felt very angry at Yuna who was
responsible for all of this. Once again.
He just couldn't believe that a lovely girl as she could turn out to be
such a fucked up bitch. And she was
trying to get Rikku to be like her, but he would put a stop to that.

"It's ok, I'll just have to get over it,
right?" Lenne whispered, softly sniffling, taking a plate and making her
way out towards the diner.

Gippal shook his head and dialled Tidus' number. If there was anyone who could do something
about this, then it was him.

"Yeah, Tidus, it's Gippal. Could you come over to
'Bahamut'? I need your help on
something."

"Sure.
I'll be there in 10. What's the
problem?"

"Just get here."

"Ok."

"Thanks."
