KH: The Hole In Her Heart
He was the hottest boy in school. Those piercing sky-blue eyes and perfectly trimmed, spiky, chestnut-brown hair. He's been the hottest boy in school since 2 weeks after coming to Oceans Palm High as a freshman. The popularity has gone to his head though. He didn't even care that Riku and I had almost been dating for a whole year now especially because I thought he was more into me than Riku was. It didn't even phase him since he can pretty much have any girl in the whole damn school he wanted now. So why pick me? Exactly...
"Hey Kairi, how are you today?" I herd a gentle voice ask me.
I'm not entirely sure if I herd her or not because I didn't answer as deep in thought as I was.
"Pay her no heed Namine. She's goggling over a lost lover," the other said brushing her short jet-black hair behind an ear.
"Excuse me!" I shouted to Xion across the school lunch table returning to reality. I must have not noticed Riku beside me as he sat next to Namine shocked at my reaction. I slammed my fists on the table as hard as I could flinging my lunch at her head, barely missing her by an inch as words flew out of my mouth,
"I'm not goggling over a lost lover Xion! I've lost a best friend and I don't expect you to know what that's like! I have Riku, and I love him...I'm just missing my best friend," I said excusing myself from the lunch table walking to my locker with my head down and punching it as hard as I could. There was a hole in my heart now, and I know Riku understood since he had the same hole.
"Kairi...I-I'm sorry. It was just a joke. You cut me off so fast I couldn't finish my sentence," Xion explained looking down at the ground disappointed in herself. She knew how touchy I was when Sora was brought into the picture.
I couldn't hold back my next action as I flung into her arms and balled my eyes out. That hole in my heart hurt, and it hurt bad...how could it not hurt Sora like it did us? I just didn't understand as I felt Xion wrap her arms around me. Namine and Riku joined shortly after, putting their hands on either of my shoulders for support.
"Kairi...we all lost him...and it hurts us too," a calm and gentle Namine spoke.
"But what we do have is each other now," Riku spoke, "we have to hold on for ourselves. We can do it together Kai. Xion, Namine, and myself."
I loved how Riku talked. So bold, strong, and confident. I wish I could be like that. I eventually stopped sobbing, and apologized to Xion.
"Apology accepted," the jet-black responded smiling.
"Hey Xion? Namine? I wanna have a slumber party Saturday. Can...you guys be my two best friends?" I asked smiling awkwardly hoping if I involve them more in my life the memory of Sora will just fade away.
"I'd love too," Namine responded with a gentle smile slightly tilting her head.
"You bet," Xion said with a thumbs up.
I just smiled as the lunch bell rang. Luckily I had Xion in my next class, and that helped improve my mood. I kissed Riku goodbye and hugged Namine with a smile. See you in a few classes you guys, and with that we parted. What killed me is Sora was in my next class. We had AMP Lab honors with Mr. Vexen and a whole crowd of Sora-Wanna-Bees and Sora fan girls who just goo-goo-eyed him the entire class period. It pissed me off so much! Stupid girls don't know the half of what he's been through. I often wonder to myself if this is just some kind of lame joke. Like one day Soras going to open his eyes and be like...uh...WTF am I doing...this is all wrong, but I just don't know sometimes. My question is: Why would he go through so much to save Riku, and myself, if he in the end just erases us like we never existed? WTF is that all about?
"Hey uh Kairi?" Xion whispered trying to get my attention.
I jumped hearing her and then turned, with an awkward angry you interrupted my thought process smile, and replied, "Yes what is it?"
She looked at me kind of hostel like before smirking and saying, "Mr. Vexen wants one of us to teach the class today."
"Psh don't look at me. Be my guest," I said sitting back in my seat watching her look change to one of concern before dismissing herself from her desk. See, since Xion and I weren't busy trying to be a Sora wanna-be or gawking fan girl, we had the best grades in the class, and Mr. Vexen often asked her, or me, to teach the class so he could catch up on grading labs. I beat Xion by 2 points with a 99.5 in the class. My thing was she wanted to be a teacher when she graduated, and I didn't like teaching on days Sora was present in class so naturally she got the job almost every time. I wanted nothing to do with him anymore because the very thought of him clawed at the bowels of my anger-danger mood zone. So teaching in front of him was no bueno. I guess my older brother was right. Us red-heads live up to our personalities. Axel was a great older brother. Did anything for me. He loves me so much, and we share a close bond that became even closer when Sora-butt-head decided we didn't exist anymore.
"Alright class. First things first. Let's review the lab for our last session on the stages of Meiosis, Mitosis, and what cells are what," Xion stated reaching the front of the class.
I did as she said and pulled out my lab book opening it up to our Chapter 4 pre-lab. I loved how I color coded everything like a rainbow. It made me feel less aggressive towards life. I smiled slightly as a late Olette entered the class seating herself next to me on the side opposite of Xion. I liked Olette. She was a down to earth, confident, spunky, determined, outgoing fire bomb. She was one of my favorite friends aside from my group.
"Oh my gosh! I didn't miss much did I?" She whispered to me.
"Nope. Just opened our lab book to chapter 4 pre-lab," I responded listening to her try to catch her breath. Olette was in the marching band before this class and she was often late. She has a 90.3 in the class and is the 3rd smartest in here. I'm sure she'd be in number one if she didn't have to run across campus just to get here. She was lead flutist and often taught the marching band because her twin sister, Selphie, leveled her playing skills and took her lead when Olette had to direct everyone.
"Xions teaching again today?" She asked me with a look of why doesn't she take the lead.
"Yeah..." I said not wanting to talk about the reason.
She just smiled at me picking up on my sudden mood swing. I swear I could be bipolar or something because how quickly my moods float around in cloud 9.
"Alright section 3," Xion said moving on. I admit she was skilled at teaching.
As much time as I spent dawdling in the deepest corridors of my mind, like my life depended on it, I find it interesting how I can stay on task so well.
"Sora why don't we ditch this class tomorrow?" A girl next to him asked.
"Eh?" Sora said turning towards her.
"Aw come on Sora. This is so boring," the girl said again.
"Yuna!" Xion shouted throwing the lesson plan on her desk making her jump 5 feet in the air and scream like a 5-year old girl. "If I find out your planning to ditch my class again I swear I will hunt you down, pull you in by your ear, and spank you right in front of everyone with your own Lab Book," She shouted hearing every word Yuna had said.
"As if Xion. Get a life nerd," Yuna said crossing her arms.
"Don't think ill do it Yuna," Xion said 2 inches from her face, "Let's see...in this fancy book of grades...Yuna, Yuna, Yuna...you have...OH MY! F F F F F D C F D D D F D C D F D D D...hmmm grades suck. I predict I drop you from class next absence," She finished watching Yuna hide her face in embarrassment.
"Xion you just love putting others down don't you?" Sora asked crossing his arms behind his head.
Oh this was about to get good and I was in for it. Demoralizing Xion's character is something you don't do. Especially if you know Axel who was in the room next door.
"Excuse me pretty boy who doesn't exist. Just because your fan girl charade doesn't rub off on me doesn't mean you'll be given an extra chance in my book. Especially someone as low as you are," She said slimming her eyes an inch away from his face.
"You don't intimidate me Xion," Sora said not moving an inch. You could tell he wasn't bluffing.
"You better eat those words or you'll be missing something below your waist tomorrow morning," she threatened him grabbing her lesson book as the bell rang.
I could tell she wasn't done because she threw the lesson book at her desk, and walked up to Sora drawing her arm back landing one so hard on the side of his face that she dropped him to the floor. I just watched stunned and shocked. Mr. Vexen didn't do a thing though because he knew Sora had it coming. I think Xion had a worse anger management than myself because she tripped Yuna on our way out spitting on her before exiting the class room.
"Wow Xion. That was quite interesting," I said as she relieved some branded in tension I carried.
"Look, Kairi...what Sora did to you and Riku doesn't fly with me...I feel the pain you two feel, and it kills me. I stay strong for you both though, and Yuna's the school slut who broke my brothers heart. Poor Tidus still hasn't recovered from the way she used him. Stupid little..."
"Xion..." I said putting my fingers over her mouth to hush her just as Riku and Namine joined us, "I appreciate your help. What you did in there was amazing and it helped relieve some of my pent up lava. You don't need to explain I understand."
I saw Namine and Riku give us a questioning look but they were use to it. Either one or both of us usually came out of that class fuming and steaming at the ears.
"Don't ask," is all Xion said before we switched partners for our last class of the day.
"It was a Yuna, Sora thing," I whispered to Riku as he smiled.
"I know. It usually is," he responded as we walked into the last class of the day which was Dual Enrollment English 102.
"I love you Riku," I said kissing his cheek.
"I love you too Kai, and remember, you have people who care, and who will always be here for you no matter what," the silver said as we sat at our study table together.
"Good luck on today's test," I said giving him my good luck charm.
"You too," he replied hugging it towards his chest and winking.
