Sora POV

This school year is going to be boring as every other year. Everyone I've seen so far is from the previous year. The only people I really hang out with are Tidus, and Kairi. There are a few others but they don't matter as much as my true friends. I sighed while gazing out the window. I'm not too interested in my classes this year, but I'm glad it's finally the last. I want to go to college afterwards but I need to finish high school since it's such a nuisance. Besides, I don't know what I want to do just yet. Afterwards, maybe I could get a girlfriend for some support. Yeah, that sounds just about right—

"Sora Hiroaki, are you daydreaming in the middle of class again?" Oh shoot Mr. Strife caught me….again.

"Sorry Mr. Strife, I'll pay close attention this time." I laughed it off picking up my book. I felt so embarrassed by the way my whole classed just watched me. I just wanted to sink into my seat. Especially the way one of the students in the front looked. He had silver hair that stopped a little further than his neck. His sea green eyes just look like they can pierce anyone's soul. His name was Riku Satoru. He was muscularly built and was the guy no one dared to talk to. Rumor has it that he put someone in the hospital or that he's in some type of secret gang. I wouldn't expect that from someone who's at the top of the class. Scratch that. The top of the school! He's the smartest guy I've ever seen! Who would come up with rumors like that?

"Sora Hirosaki read page forty-five out loud for the class since your mind is still in the gutter." Shit not again! Chuckles dispersed between the students as I slapped my forehead and slid it down my face. I peered up front in between my fingers and catch a glimpse of those sea green eyes staring at me again. What scared me was besides Mr. Strife, he wasn't laughing at all. I quickly picked up my book and began reading to get his attention off of me today or any other day.

"And that will conclude to you coming to detention today too, Mr. Hirosaki." Mr. Strife said continuing with the class.

"Sora dude, what the heck?" Tidus whispered over to me.

"Tidus would you like to join him—"

"No Sir!" He immediately stood from his seat as everyone burst into laughter. Way to stick up for me, you jerk! I slammed my head on my desk and groaned. Please let this day be over already!

Once the class was over, Mr. Strife walked up to me and sat on the desk placed in front of mines.

"What's gotten in to you today, Sora?" He asked.

"Mr. Strife, I thought we were cool!" I whined and began flailing my legs in my seat.

"Hey, it's my job to make sure you pay attention. Now could you tell me what's going on?"

"I was just thinking about my future." I replied looking back out the window.

"I remember those days when it was my last year in high school. You know, I still think about my future today." He chuckled and ruffled my hair.

"Really?"

"Yeah, like how I'm going to finally get you to start paying attention in my class."

"That's not fair Mr. Strife!" I yelled at him jumping out of my seat.

"Now about page forty-five…" I just groaned and slammed my head in my book.

Detention was such a bore! But I'm glad Tidus stayed after school with me, well technically not with me but somewhere in the building. I bet he was flirting with some of the girls still here!

"Hey Sora let's go to that abandoned warehouse I told you about earlier!" Tidus jumped in front of me pointing a finger in his face. I motioned to bite when he took it back with a squeal.

"Why do you want to go there out of all places?" I asked poking him in the face.

"What, are you chickening out on me?" And here we go…wait he didn't even answer my question!

"No I just don't feel like going at this time of day."

"You are chickening out on me! Come on it'll be fun! Unless you don't want to show Kairi how brave you are." And there goes my peer pressure.

"Fine, I'll do it just this once." I walked off with him. The sun was setting pretty quickly and we still haven't made it to that warehouse.

"How long is this going to take?" I groaned.

"We're already here!" He held both his arms out and stood in front of the run down building. Wonderful, not only will I go into a spider webbed rat infested building, but I will finally prove that I'm brave enough for Kairi…..just saying that doesn't cheer me up at all. Tidus grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the gate surrounding the place.

"Wait a second! There's a bike here." We both paused. It was a good looking bike, one of the newest kind too.

"Is that a Yamaha 2012 YZF-R1?" Wow I didn't know Tidus was fascinated in motorcycles.

"Come on and quit stalling." I'm stalling? Are you serious? We finally entered into the building and I was right. It was filled with cob webs from top to bottom and I cringe to the feel of one, especially trying to get them off.

"Quit being a big baby and come on!" Does he even know where we're even going? We've been walking through a lot of doors and still didn't find anything interesting. I heard something run a cross me and I jumped back and almost headed towards the door, but Tidus grabbed me once again.

"Sora…"

"Tidus…" We had a stare off for a few seconds until we heard laughter on the other side of the room.

"What was that?" Tidus said running close to where the room was.

"Tidus wait I don't think we should go over there!" I chased after him and hid behind the barrels where we peaked out from. Great, we're hiding behind web covered objects while stepping onto someone's territory. Can this day get any worse! I finally saw a glimpse of someone from the other room. He looks familiar—

"Is that Riku?" Tidus said.

"It is Riku!" I couldn't believe it. So the rumors were true. I suddenly felt something crawling up my arm when I looked down to saw a large spider on me. I couldn't help, but freak out and try to get it off of me. I ended up knocking something off a rusted shelf that made a loud ringing noise once it hit the floor.

"What the hell was that?" A voice said in the room. Oh man this day gets worse and worse!

"I'll check it out…" The person replied and steps out only to reveal that it's Riku.

"Tidus we have to get out of here." I whispered but he only stood there in shock. Come on Tidus this isn't helping the situation and he's just getting closer. I shook him a few more times when he finally snapped out of it.

"Sora what are we going to do?!" He held his head and began to panic.

"We go out the same way we came in, right?"

"That's the problem! We went through so many doors I don't remember the way out!" Tidus said and I almost began to panic with him.

"I'm going to make a run for it…" What did he just say? And with that he took off heading towards the door.

"Tidus, you idiot!"

"Hey!" Riku yelled out when he saw Tidus run out the door. He then glanced over to me with those piercing eyes of his. I gasped and began stepping backwards.

"Riku is everything alright— well what do we have here?" Another guy stepped out. His hair was silver too, but his skin tone was darker and his eyes were a frightening yellow.

"Leave this to me." Riku said making the man chuckle to himself and pat him on the back.

"You two play nice." With that he completely disappeared from the room. Riku started walking towards me when I just took off. I don't know why I listened to Tidus. I'm such an idiot! I was stopped by a room with two doors leading to different places. I really wasn't thinking when I ran into whatever door came to mind. And I was damned when I chose a dead end. Shit Shit Shit Shit SHIT! I'm in huge trouble now.

"Sora, I presume?" Riku walked into the room and slammed the door behind him. With a twist of his wrist, the door was locked and I had my back pressed up against the wall like it could go any further.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to trespass. It was all Tidus' fault and I didn't hear anything that was going on I swear! We just wanted to check out the building since it was just sitting here for a while." I covered myself as he drew closer.

"I'm guessing that was Tidus who bolted out the door?" Damnit, I just totally gave Tidus away! I'm a terrible friend.

"P-Please don't hurt us w-we didn't mean to. I began to stammer on my words. I was a complete wimp in this situation. I knew I was tearing up and I made me look even more pathetic.

"Do you really think I would believe you?" He slammed his hand above my head and trapped me against the wall so I wouldn't move. Hell, I couldn't move anyway. I was too scared. That Tidus is lucky that he made it out.

"It would be best to try…" I had an uneasy laugh to what I said, but seriously why the hell would I say that?! I might have provoked him to beat the hell out of me. Then he suddenly laughs. I've never seen him smile before. This is getting weird.

"You're funny." He simply said and wiped a tear from my eye. What was going on? My adrenaline rush was blocking my thinking process and making everything foggy. Why wasn't he hurting me? Why are his hands so soft and warm? I leaned into his touch a little more before snapping out of whatever I was feeling.

"And adorable too…" He grabbed both of my arms and placed them above my head. Riku leaned in closer and smashed his lips with mine. I failed to understand what was going on as I tried to escape his grip. He was too strong and I could barely do anything. Why did this feel sort of…good? No this isn't right and shouldn't be happening. I built up some courage and kicked him right in his groin. It was a petty move, but in this situation I could care less. I took the chance to dash away. I heard something fall, but hell if I'm going back to get it. I ran through another series of doors before I actually made it outside. I continued to run and there was no way I was going to take a break until I make it home.

"Sora how was your day at school— Sora what's wrong? You dash in here like someone was chasing you." You hit it right on the spot mom, someone was chasing me.

"It's nothing mom." I quickly shut the door behind me and attempted to head up to my room, but I was cut off by my mom.

"Why are you so red? Are you coming down with something?"

"No mom I'm fine." I ran upstairs and shut the door behind me. I slid down the door touching my face and walked to my mirror. Why did this have to happen to me? I trailed my hands down to my lips when a huge blush appeared on my face. I shook my head vigorously to get the passed events out my head. Man this bites. I walked over to my bag to take out all of my things, but something was missing. Oh no, this can't be! What I dropped back there was my wallet and it had my address and everything in it. Oh man, like I said, my day just gets worse and worse.
