"Something Sweet"
Chapter One : Rainy Day
Kairi honked loudly for her friend Selphie to come out. She sighed heavily at the heavy rain that had started early this morning. Rolling her eyes she massaged the spot where a bruise was yet to be. Selphie climbed into the car, she was already denched from the 20 feet from her house to the car.
"God took you long enough, hooker!" Kairi joked. Selphie laughed at her friend who had of course been joking.
"Kairi you dont look ok. What happened?" Selphie asked examining the bags under her friends eyes.
"Just wanted to get out of that hellhole. Stepdad's fighting with my mom again. I swear, I dont know why she married that jerk. All he does is bitch." Kairi said stepping on the gas as she turned the corner.
"Well its ok, soon you'll be at school with Riku!" Selphie smiled.
Kairi didn't say anything. Her boyfriend was different lately. He was sweet sometimes but others he wasn't so loving. He's big shot in school. Head of the football team and a major bully. Itts not that hes bad looking or anything, girls flock over him. His long silver hair and soft blue anyone could make anyone fall for him. Kairi was thinking of breaking it off but then, Riku might become obsessive and eventually more violent.

At School

Kairi examined herself in the locker door mirror before closing it, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she turned to look into the aquamarine eyes which belonged to Riku. He kissed her hungrily and grabbed her hand, firmly interlocking fingers. She smiled slightly at him.
"Hey baby." He greeted her. She rolled her eyes and turned to walk to first period, Riku trailing behind her. "We still on for tonight?"
"I guess so Riku." Kairi said. She let go of his hand and gave him a soft kiss before going into her classroom. He watched the door close and turned around.
He spotted a kid just a little shorter than he was with brunette spiky hair. He looked at Riku with a quirked eyebrow. The two guys began walking away in short conversation.
"God Kairi is so fine. I cant wait til...Well you know...Your a guy." Riku hinted, nudging Sora in the side a little.
"Dude dont talk about her like that around me. She's my best friend. " Sora defended. Riku gave him some kind of smart ass look and the two boys pressed on through the hallways.
Sora was the unpopular kid, Riku's best friend but also just a kid. Riku never treated him like a best friend. Sora was not popular, he was just the skater kid who listened to Blink 182 and played guitar. He was the type of kid with minimal friends and who normally sat in the back of the classroom. He had a slim figure, muscular arms, tanned skin, and bright blue eyes. Sora had been best friends with Kairi since 3rd grade. Somehow, he wasnt convinced Riku was doing his best to make Kairi happy. She always seemed so sad. Whenever he asked her about it, she always made up something like "I ran into the corner of a wall." or "some guy elbowed me on the streets."
Secretly, Sora had developed some feelings towards Kairi. He could never tell her though. She'd think he was bogus. Why have him when she has a popular guy like Riku? Sora wondered about this constantly, and sighed as he and Riku parted and Sora stepped out into the rain to go to first period.

At Lunch
----------
Sora found Kairi and Riku sitting together, he rolled his eyes and sat a little further down from them. He noticed some girls gawking at Riku from afar. He sometimes hoped that some girl would look at him the way girls looked at Riku.
"Hey Kairi...Im gonna have to reshceduale our date tonight. I gotta go somewhere with the football team." Riku stated. Kairi's expression immediately fell and she turned her gaze to the floor. "Why dont you and Sora chill together? You two are friends right?"
Sora looked at Kairi to check her expression. She gave him a reassuring smile and nodded slightly. He nodded back at Riku.
"Ok Kai, my house. After school. My parents arent going to be home so we can have a movie marathon." He smiled at her and she laughed back.
He loved seeing her laugh. It was even more satisfying that he was the one who had made her laugh. She didn't laugh much these days. Sora enjoyed the feeling of making someone laugh. Especially Kairi.
The rest of lunch, Sora was pretty much left out. Kairi and Riku got caught up in the usual couple talk. Ocasionaly sneaking a kiss or two. Which made Sora turn his head slightly.
The bell rang and Kairi and Sora headed in the direction of their fourth period...Film Production. Kairi had a secret dream of wanting to edit films or even direct. She had told Riku this, but he didn't seem to care much. Sora however, had told her about the class and forced her to take it with him. His plan was to get her a new camcorder for her next birthday.
"Sora?" Kairi asked during passing period.
"Hm?"
"Ever feel like you aren't really wanted? Like you deserve more?"
He looked at her. "Where is this coming from?"
She sighed and wiped forming tear out of her eye. "I think I have to tell you something... Later at your house?"
He nodded and opened the door for her to the class.
'Hm. What could she want to tell me?'
