Crush or Love? 2: Regrets and Memories
Chapter 1: Chicken Sandwich
---------------------
School was now in session at Destiny High School. The corridors of the school were now filled with teenagers who hurried to their next classes. There were who seemed lost and others that knew their way. Some bumped into other teenagers. Just like Sora. Having alot in his mind, he never looked where he was going so that came to conclusion to bumping into someone. That someone was now the guy who had taken over his dearest's heart. The only girl that counted for Sora. But yet, they weren't enemies, and they did get along, but he knew Sora wanted Kairi back so he wouldn't let Sora once again break Kairi's heart. The spiky brunette picked up his things and left hurrying to his next class. The brown-eyed guy just looked in Sora's direction seeing him leaving.
"That was weird." Sam said to himself. Josh appeared beside him.
"What's weird?" Josh asked.
"Nothing. Anyway, we have to get to class! Do you know by any chance where room 216 is?" Sam asked. Josh nodded and chuckled.
"It's on the second floor! Good luck man getting on time! It's gonna ring soon! Anyway see you at lunch!" Josh said leaving to the same room Sora was going to. In that class, there was Sora, Josh, Danny and Namine. They all sat in the back one beside the other. Namine decided to pass notes since the teacher was explaining the rules of the class and the school. Namine wrote on a little sheet of paper ' Sora? R u ok?' She passed the note and Sora read it. He simply nodded smiling a little bit. Namine wrote again on another sheet of paper. 'Is it bcuz of Kai?' She passed it and he nodded after reading it. Namine felt bad. She was Kairi's best friend and she owed to Sora for matching her with Riku but she couldn't take over Kairi's mind that Sora was always depressed. Since the day of the sleepover with all the gang, Namine felt Sora was acting different. And even if she knew, she would have known he was acting weird. He wasn't the same happy boy with that goofy smile that she met. He was more now, the guy with his feelings confused and nowhere to go. And knowing Sora didn't feel right, it actually made her feel bad. She felt guilty. She would try every night to talk to Kairi about Sora. Sora the guy Kairi fell in love with for years and that now, he's just a distant friend. Yes, a distant friend. They didn't talk as much. They would occasionally say hi and then goodbye or other things but never mentioned their past relationship.
-------------------------
At lunch, they weren't all the gang anymore. They had separated into groups. Sora sat with Riku, Roxas, Jen, Kairi and Namine. Since the tables were for six, it actually came in handy Sam hung out with Sophia, Josh, Mike and Sarah. Vanessa was with Dave, Kevin, Christina and Jessica. Selphie and Tidus were together and they were with Yuffie and Max. Paine was sitting with Danny, Ashley and Wakka. Catherine had left to Twilight Town to tell Hayner, Pence and Olette what had happened since they had left. They couldn't believe Sora wasn't with Kairi anymore but Catherine insisted until they finally gave up knowing she wasn't lying.
------------------------
After School, Sora waited for Roxas at the entrance to walk home. Sora had started working since his doctor told him his leg came fine. He was really happy to walk like anybody else but he was still fragile. After minutes of waiting and watching the other teenagers leave, Roxas finally came out of the school building making Sora sighing.
"You take too long." Sora complained to his cousin. Roxas laughed nervously.
"I just have to get used to this school. Sorry!" Roxas said rubbing the back of his neck. Sora just rolled his eyes.
"Do you do that at every new school you go to?" Sora asked.
"No! It's because here, it's different." Roxas explained getting a playful punch from Sora who was teasing him.
"You have become such a teaser." Roxas exclaimed. They came to a stop at a corner. Sora went to the right and Roxas continued on walking after crossing the street. Sora was going to work. He had already his uniform in his backpack saving him time to get to work.
----------------------
Kairi and Namine were walking home too, just like everybody. Namine didn't use the limousine for school. She didn't want to be better than the others. She just wanted to fit in. Kairi had her mind on something that Namine wanted to know.
"What is it Kai? You've been like that all day!" Namine said. Kairi averted her gaze to Namine.
"Well it's..the but." Kairi tried to explain. She looked at the ground hoping Namine wouldn't ask a question but she would because Kairi didn't give her a really straight answer.
"What but?" the clueless blonde asked. She was wearing a white skirt and a white tank top.
"Well you know, at Sophia's barbecue..." Kairi started. "He said...I..'I love you too...but..'. And I still wonder that but." Kairi explained.
"It's been almost a month! Why can't you ask him?" Namine said getting looks from people walking around. Kairi looked uneasy. She didn't feel like talking about that.
"I can't! What would he think? He'd think I'm just a silly girl who's hormones are overreacting about some stupid but!" Kairi yelled. Namine closed her eyes in fear.
"Kai?" Namine gently laid her hand on her friend's shoulder. "I think he's waiting for you to ask the famous 'but'." Namine tried explaining her.
"Huh?"
"Look, I think he's waiting for you to ask him for the but, because it will show him how much you care about him. Right now, he feels like you don't care about him."
"Oh yeah? I don't care about him? Why is it that all I can think about is him and all I talk about is him?" Kairi suddenly overreacted. Namine was fearing this.
"Kai! Kai??? Hello! Everyone is watching you!" Namine pointed to some people.
"I don't care! I'm going home." Kairi left Namine standing there who got looks because of her overreacting friend.
"This might take a while." Namine said to herself. She continued walking.
-------------------------
Everybody knew for Josh and Sophia. They had revealed it at Sophia's barbecue, well put an end to those true rumors. Danny and Ashley would always be together except for the times he'd hung out with Wakka. Ashley would be with Sophia, Christina, Sarah and Jessica. They'd go shopping and invite Vanessa along or Namine or Kairi. Paine was always in a serious trance. Mike recalled that she wasn't like that before. Something happened that made her be like that.
--------------------------
At home, Kairi thought about what Namine had said to her. Maybe she was right. She clutched a pillow against her chest and held it tightly.
"Is Sora waiting for me?" she asked herself. She thought about it for a few minutes then got up from her bed and walked out of her room in a hurry. She got to Sora's home and knocked on the door. Roxas opened the door surprised by Kairi's visit.
"Is Sora there?" Kairi asked impatiently.
"Does it look like Sora's here?" he asked. She rolled her eyes. Roxas had gotten better at teasing people because of Sora's lessons.
"Whatever..Do you know where he is?" she asked. He nodded.
"He's working. Maybe you should come back when he gets home from work. Meanwhile...this algebra is kind of har..." Kairi cut him off. "Ask your girlfriend! Bye!" Kairi said before leaving. She got to her house grabbed some things and left again. She knew what restaurant Sora worked for. It was the one near the park they used to go together. She put on hes sunglasses and held her purse. She came into the restaurant taking a seat. A busboy came. He smirked whilst she scanned the menu.
"Can I help you miss?" the busboy asked. She nodded.
"Can I have the.." the busboy cut her off. "Answer to but?"
"Huh?" she hadn't looked who was the busboy but when she heard what he had said, she turned around seeing who it was. She took off her sunglasses.
"You can't fool me that easily, Kairi." he said. Her heart started pounding when she heard him say her name. She laughed nervously.
"I was ..uh..just testing you. Yeah testing you!" she lied. He smirked.
"Sure...so what's your order?" he asked.
"I'll have...the chicken sandwich with water and fries." she ordered.
"Ooooh miss is feeling a little chicken?" he teased.
"Right..your lessons are rubbing off on your cousin. But the stupidness is the same." she said smirking. He stood there and laughed nervously.
"Sure.."
"Yes he's even bad like you at algebra." Kairi stated.
"You told him to ask Jen?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Sora!" yelled a worker behind the counter. He turned around then fixed Kairi.
"Well chicken sandwich coming up! Gotta go!" Sora said leaving. Kairi let out a breath after Sora left. Her cellphone rang. She answered seeing it was Namine who was calling.
"Hey Kairi!"
"Hey Namine!"
"Why'd you left me there?" Namine asked.
"I don't know. I just had to think." Kairi said.
"Where are you? I can hear people's voices in the back." Namine said.
"My parents weren't home so I thought I'd go out to a restaurant." Kairi lied. Sure her parents weren't there but there was another reason why she was at the restaurant.
"Okay! Well I was just calling you for.."
"Here you go miss chicken!" One chicken sandwich, fries and water for miss chicken!" the busboy exclaimed.
"Kairi?" Namined asked who was cut off.
"Yeah?"
"Is that Sora?"
"That's just a busboy." Kairi said smirking knowing Sora was listening to her talking.
"Isn't Sora a busboy?"
"I just said busboy. I didn't mention any name." Kairi said. She looked at her order. There was an hamburger with fries and coke.
"Anyway, I have to go. Something is wrong with my order." Kairi said hanging up.
"Excuse me mister busboy!" she exclaimed getting Sora's attention.
"Yes miss chicken?"
"There's more than what I ordered." she said pointing to her order.
"That's because mister busboy is eating with you for his break." he said sitting in front of her. He grabbed his hamburger and took a bite. she just watched him whilst she did the same with her chicken sandwich.
"How long has it been, since we have talked like that?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know. It seems like forever." Sora said.
"Namine has been pleading me to talk to you." she started. Sora stopped eating, took a sip and took another bite.
"Well, me and Namine have been close these times. Not that close but I guess we're getting to be better friends. I'm glad, she's cool." Sora explained.
"Yeah, things have really changed these couple of months." Kairi started.
"Yeah, Roxas came, then his hometown friends, then those who were at camp and new people and your neighbors. I mean we have become a big gang but it's okay not to be always the gang together. Sometimes you feel left out because some have the attention and others don't. "Sora explained.
"Yeah."
After eating Kairi left and Sora continued working. He had watched her leave all happy and that made him smile. She was all jumpy and happy. At home, she stumbled on her bed clutching a pillow.
