ATTENTION: For those few that have already read my story the first THREE chapters are just the first one split into 3 PARTS. I did this because I realized the first chapter was just way too long and was probably annoying. The FOURTH chapter is where you should start for those of you who have already read the story when the 1st chapter was LONG. And for those of you who HAVEN'T read the story…please ignore this? Okay? Great! On with the story!

Disclaimer: Psh…I WISH I owned kingdom hearts, but sadly I don't…like everyone else in this site.

Chapter 1: Evil English Essay

English class was always the most boring class of the day…and unfortunately for Sora it was also his last class, which just made it worse. The teacher,
Mrs. Oniwa droned on about grammar and how to identify an independent and a dependent clause in a sentence. He hated grammar. It was his worst
subject ever and it was probably one of the most boring subjects too. Who literally cared about independent and dependent clauses? It's not like while
Sora was reading a book he'd suddenly shout out, "MRS. ONIWA I FOUND AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE!" Yes…grammar was pointless in life.

He stared at the clock hoping that the last 10 minutes of class might pass by faster if he stared at the clock…but sadly his staring contest with the clock to
make it pass by faster wasn't working at all.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick

Plop…'What the…?' Sora thought as he noticed a small, folded, neatly, square shaped piece of loose leaf. He smiled to himself obviously knowing where it came from. He looked to his left to see Kairi smiling at him and giving him a small wave. Her crimson hair had grown over the years and was already past
her shoulders a little bit. Her eyes still had that same beautiful blue shine in them that glistened in the light.

He laughed quietly so the teacher wouldn't hear him while she droned on and on. His big cobalt blue eyes that resembled the sea, glanced around left to
right to make sure nobody noticed the letter Kairi threw at him. His light brown hair that stuck up every way possible swayed in every direction he turned,
as he searched to make sure no one noticed, but to his luck everyone was already asleep in boredom from Mrs. Oniwa's lecture on grammar.
He opened up the letter slowly and read three simple words written down.

I. Am. Bored.

Sora chuckled again, but this time Mrs. Oniwa heard him and turned around swiftly.

"Found something funny there Sora?" Mrs. Oniwa asked venomously.

"No Ma'am." Sora replied quickly. She eyed him suspiciously and noticed something in his hand.

"What's that in your hand? A letter! Give it here!" Mrs. Oniwa commanded. Sora glanced at Kairi who had a guilty look on her face. Slowly and with much

reluctance he went up and handed the teacher the note.

"Here," Sora mumbled as he gave it to her.

"Very nice note Sora. Class would you like to hear it?" Mrs. Oniwa asked…

Sora turned around to find the class awake. 'Oh yeah…NOW they wake up.' Sora thought.

"Oh what a nice sentence. It says…I AM BORED. Well Sora if you're SO BORED why don't I give you something to do over the weekend. Let's say a…20 page story with your choice on the topic. If you fail to do this or get a bad grade then you fail this quarter. You'll be so busy writing and not being bored
this weekend. Don't you agree? And…oh my what a coincidence today IS Friday," Mrs. Oniwa pointed out rather rudely.

Now he knew why her last name was Oniwa (Oni means devil in Japanese).

"Ring! Ring!" the bell rang throughout the building signaling the end of school. Sora sighed in relief as he grabbed his backpack and zoomed out of the

classroom. 'This is just great…my nice weekend is killed!' Sora thought angrily.

"Sora! Wait up!" Kairi shouted as she ran toward him. Her plaid skirt bounced a bit as she ran to catch up to him. (A/n: picture her school uniform from
kingdom hearts 2)

"What…?" Sora asked gloomily.

"I'm so sorry Sora. I didn't mean to get you in trouble. Please forgive me?"

"Whatever Kairi it's no big deal…" Sora replied waving his hand in the air.

"But it is a big deal! Sora, you're almost failing English; it's your worst subject. If you fail this, you fail the quarter, Sora! I can't have that happen. I'd feel
so guilty about it! Let me help you write it this weekend! Please?" Kairi pleaded. This was the typical Kairi. She had a huge heart and always helped
people.

"No Kairi. You already got me in trouble…I don't want to kill your weekend. It's my fault for laughing so loud anyway." Sora explained.

"Come on Sora…I can help!" Kairi exclaimed and pouted in frustration.

Sora tried to think of a quick lie that could end the conversation fast, "Well you see…but…my mom—"

"Sora don't even try. I know your family! And I know they wouldn't mind having me over. We've known each other since were babies. I'm practically her
adopted daughter."

'Damn it! She knows me too well!'

"Kairi I don't want you to waste your weekend helping me when you can be having fun! So please just have fun?" Sora begged.

"Please? Please let me help you. Please?" Kairi pleaded with a extra special pout she only used on Sora to get what she wanted.

'Oh god no…I can't stand it when she pouts and says please. She looks so…' Sora didn't bother to finish his train of thought and blushed a bit, but it was barely noticeable. "Kairi," he whined, "I can't have you ruining your weekend. I really don't mind doing this 20 page story."

"I know you do mind Sora. Just please…? I feel so bad and English is my best subject so I could help."

'Must resist…' Sora thought, but he truly wanted her to be with him this weekend. It actually sounded kind of…fun…if she was there. She always managed to brighten things. "Oh alright," Sora finally gave in.

"Yay!" Kairi squealed as she gave him a hug, "Okay I'm going to go home and get changed and then meet back at your place. See ya later!" Kairi waved
good-bye and started to walk to her house, which was almost next door to Sora's.

"God why didn't I just say no? Now she'll be bored this whole weekend and it's all my fault…" Sora mumbled.

"HEY SORA!" a boy with long silver hair shouted.

Sora jumped for a second and his train of thought was broken once again.

"What do you want Riku?" Sora asked sourly.

"What's your problem?" Riku asked as he raised an eyebrow at Sora strangely.

"Nothing…anyway what do you want?"

"I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with me, Roxas, and Namine this weekend. Roxas is teaching Namine how to skateboard. Can you picture
that? Namine? Skateboard? Yeah it doesn't seem to match, but she begged him and he just couldn't say no."

"Wait a minute…I thought Roxas doesn't let anyone touch his skateboard…" Sora pointed out.

"I don't know. Anyway can you come?" Riku asked.

"Uhh…I can't…" Sora replied as he looked down at his shoes.

"Why?" Riku asked inquisitively.

"I'm hanging out with Kairi this weekend," Sora muttered quickly.

"A-HA! I knew you'd finally have the guts to ask her out SOMEDAY—"

"RIKU! It's not a date SHUT UP!" Sora interrupted trying to explain.

"What? Sora and Kairi are on a date?" A blonde boy with spiky hair similar to Sora's, but not as large, asked. His light blue eyes widened in shock as he
just registered what he heard.

"Finally…" A girl with long blonde hair and light blue eyes said.

"Roxas! Namine! Shut up! It's not a date! I-got-in-trouble-in-class-because-Kairi-was-passing-notes-to-me-and-now-I-have-to-write-a-20-page-report-and-
she-felt-guilty-so-she-decided-to-help!" Sora rambled quickly.

"So you and Kairi are on a date?" Riku asked loudly.

A group of gossiping girls turned to stare at Sora since they overheard. They giggled a bit and started walking once again.

"Great now THEY heard it!" Sora yelled. "Man this weekend is going to suck I have to write a 20 page report!"

"Was it Mrs. Oniwa?" Riku asked quietly. Sora merely nodded and Riku threw his head back in laughter. "KNEW IT! That witch failed me last year."

"Then why are you in normal English?" Sora asked inquisitively as his eyebrows raised in shock.

"Oh I bribed this lady to put me into normal English for my grade…" Riku's mouth formed an evil smirk. Namine gasped in shock at what Riku had done,

while Sora just laughed. He knew Riku too well and never underestimated his actions.

"Really? Who is she? Can I do that?" Sora asked hopefully.

"Oh no she got fired…" Riku explained casually.

"What? How?" Sora asked as his hopes sunk down once again.

"She was fired for putting me into normal English and getting bribed by me," Riku pointed out as Roxas and Namine started laughing.

"Typical Riku…" Namine laughed.

"I have to get home now…" Roxas reminded impatiently.

"Yeah same…" Namine added glancing at Roxas.

"Alright bye! See you tomorrow!" Riku yelled waving frantically at them like a lunatic.

"Bye!" Namine and Roxas said at the same time as they walked away together.

"They're awfully suspicious…" Sora mumbled.

"So are you! You're the one who likes Kairi, but won't admit it," Riku yelled.

"I DON'T LIKE—" But as hard as Sora tried to say it he couldn't. He couldn't deny the fact that he didn't like Kairi, because he did (as a friend he thought)
…he just wasn't sure how much…that's all. Sora had known Kairi since he was born.
Their parents were best friends and they ended up becoming close. They've been best friends for 16 whole years. When Sora and Kairi were 5 they met Riku. Then when they went to middle school they met Roxas and Namine.

Roxas and Namine had been best friends when they were born too, similar to Sora and Kairi.

"See…you just admitted it. You can't say you don't like her because you DO like her." Riku smirked like he turned into Thomas Edison and invented the light bulb. Sora just rolled his eyes at him

"Don't you have a home to be getting to? Or did your mom kick you out again?" Sora asked jokingly.

"Don't you have a date to be going to with Kairi?" Riku retorted smartly as he smirked in pride.

"SHUT UP! IT'S NOT A DATE!" Sora denied as a whole bunch of people started staring at him again. "I'm leaving! BYE!"

Riku started laughing that his stomach started hurting as he watched Sora stomp away.

"Stupid Riku…" Sora muttered to himself as he walked home.
