oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Ok, it took me a while to find out another idea for this story. I had to make two stories and deleted one. That sucks, I know. So on forth with it.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"We can meet at school, Sora." Kairi said on her cell phone.

"No, we're being watched there too. How about… no there too." He said, both of them trying to think of a way they could actually meet and talk.

You see their families have been in a feud ever since they could remember. They're secretly in love but Sora and Kairi aren't allowed to see each other and she's already in an arranged marriage with Riku. She doesn't like him, but he does so he sticks around her like an annoying piece of tape that won't come off. Even when the teachers pair Sora and Kairi together, their parents come in and start on a riot.

"There's a grotto in the park. We could meet there." She said.

"Okay! So what time?"

"Hmm," She checked her watch and looked at her schedule. "Let's make it at night so that the dark can cover us. I'm free at eight."

Her room was pretty big and she was sitting at her porch. The door was all the way on the other side where she can't hear it when it opens. And so enters her mom; she walked up behind her, eavesdropping on her conversation.

"Okay, Sora. Eight o'clock at the park grotto." She turned around and stood face to face with her mom. Oh man, did she hear that? "Hi Mom! So what're you doing in my room?"

"Don't call me mom, makes me feel old. I'm Skyla to you." Skyla said. "No eight o'clock date for you. You have another photo shoot at that time." Her mom was a cosmetic line producer and she put Kairi as the model for it.

"Mom!" Skyla stared at her. "Fine, Skyla. I don't want to do this! I never did, you just put me up to this."

"And without you, people won't but our products. You wear it, we take the photo, consumers buy them, and we make money. See? Everybody wins!"

"But me." She muttered under breath.

"What was that?" Skyla said, her stern face even scarier.

"Nothing, Skyla. Fine, I'll go." Her mother smiled, snapped the phone closed and left the room.


Otherwise Kairi and her family all rich and stuff, Sora's weren't (they weren't all that rich either). They believed that her family was testing it on animals. Naturally, they'd say that they weren't, his family would say they are, no, yes, no, yes and no until one of them would finally give in. But really, when would that happen? With the feuding families, the kids have restrictions too, like they can't see each other at all


"Kairi? Are you still there?" Sora asked because she forgot to say bye while she could. His dad came into the tiny room as well.

"Sora, get ready for your work. You have to get there in fifteen minutes." He said.

"Nightshift? I already did my share for today. Why an I suddenly working the nightshift?"

"Sora—" his dad tried to stop him, but Sora just kept on talking.

"I'm a growing kid, I need my sleep. I need 'me-time.' I need to socialize but I can't if I have to sleep at school. Dad, I need a life."

"I know that, I was like that when I was a boy. You're taking my shift because we're going over to that Kairi's house. I don't know why you even call her as a friend. Oh, and we're going over to start a riot."

"Dad! Why are you guys so mad at each other?"

"We're trying to stop them from using animals as test subjects for their cosmetics, that's why Sora."


"Kairi dearest! Guess who's here to see you?" Skyla yelled out.

"Mom!" Kairi said.

"Who's Mom?"

"Skyla! Who the heck is it?"

"Come on down and you'll see your photo buddy!"

"Photo buddy? Guess I'll go and see." She said to no one in particular. Kairi flew down the stairs.

Waiting for her was, "Honey, this is Riku, the boy I said you'll be marrying instead of that low-life Sora you've seen around." Riku was a tall silver haired boy in a tux holding a bouquet of roses that were apparently for her.

He stepped toward her, making Kairi step back a bit herself, and bowed down. "As so you have already come to know, my name is Riku. And I suppose these are yours." He stood up and handed her the gifts.

"Eh, thanks?" she said, unknowingly taking the things into her hand.

"See dearest? He's such a gentleman." Skyla said, giggling a bit and left the room, lifting a hand as she disappeared.

"Who is this Sora your mother has talked about?" he said in his English accent.

"Cut the accent okay? And Sora is none of your business."

"May or may not, I am still curious." Riku said, the accent apparently real.

"Curious or not, Sora is none of your business, so buzz off, Mr. Accent. Oh and while you do that and explore our house, don't feel free to explore my room."

He started to joke around so he straightened his body frame and said, "Ma'am yes, Ma'am!" in an army tone.

She waved him off but before he completely disappeared, Kairi spoke up and said, "Oh and by the way, what does my mom mean by 'photo buddy'?" He didn't answer but she could hear a bit of cameras clicking when he left.

Kairi checked her watch and it was eight o'clock. She didn't care if her mom would get mad if she didn't go to the photo shoot, she just cared to see Sora. When she stepped out, it was about dusk and a pick-it line was forming. Kairi squinted her eyes to see the signs all about Skyla's cosmetics. "Is that…Sora's dad?"

He turned his head and spotted her and yelled out something she didn't understand, probably a code they worked out. No sooner than later, stones came flying her way. She put her arms over her face getting ready for impact, which never happened. Kairi opened her eyes and saw a man in a tuxedo. "Riku?"

"Get inside, it's safer there." He said as she ran inside.

Yeah, yeah, I know the first chapter sucks; I just needed to throw in the major points. Please read and review because the next chapters are better! I promise! Oh, and my updating time changes from fast to slow at one point (maybe). Sorry about that!
