"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! SMASH!" There was a loud crash as I slammed my hand on my alarm clock. Oh man, I broke another alarm clock. "Ugh there goes another one" I sighed. I got up out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror. Messy blood red hair flowed down to my shoulder. Of course I looked like a mess so I began getting ready for school and as I was looking for my knapsack I saw my calendar. 'February, 14' I glanced at the little box of handmade chocolates I had made last night. They were for Riku, a little crush I've had since 7th grade, but I was now in 8th grade.
As I put the little box carefully in my knapsack, and pulled on my socks and shoes, along with my uniform. (Kh2 uniform) I smiled and went out the door, grabbed a breakfast bar and headed to school. "Hey Kairi over here!"
I looked and saw my best friend Sora Hikari. He and Riku were my best friends since 7th grade, but I had met Sora in preschool, so we were really close. I waved at him and placed a huge genuine smile on my face. Today I was ready to confess to Riku. I could imagine our first date…."Hey you still alive?" Sora said teasingly. I smacked his arm and said "Shut up Sora!" We headed off to school and I told Sora I had some business to attend to so he headed off to class. I walked to Riku's locker, looked around to see if the coast was clear, and slipped the love note in his locker. I practically ran to class and got ready for an agonizing day of school…..
Riku Pov
Ugh another day of school. I was on my way to my locker, put in the combination and a cute little note on pink stationary with hearts on it came out.
Dear Riku,
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Nothing in this crazy world
Could keep me from loving you!
Meet me in room 14
At 4 after school
I hope to see you soon!
Love,
Your secret Admirer
Hmmmm I wonder who it is…..
The foyer 4 o clock
It was the last period of the day, and awful close to 4 o clock. I was so excited I could barely contain myself from jumping up and leaping in joy! Sora was sitting next to me and passed a note
Hey you busy after school?
I look at the note and scribbled down
Ummm I'm sorry I kind of am, maybe we could do something tomorrow?
I passed the note back to him and he whispered, "No that's alright…" He wouldn't look me in the eyes for some reason and was suddenly interested in learning math with a new enthusiasm. I shrugged and forgot about it and thought of Riku.

RING!
YES I screamed in my head, I told Sora I was going to stay after school today and so he walked home by himself. I rushed off to the foyer and waited…..and waited. I got out the chocolates and Riku came in casually into the room. "So you're my secret admirer?" he said shocked. "Y-y-yeah….." I handed him the chocolates and said "I like you!" I said with my heated face and looked at him. "I'm sorry Kairi, but…. I can't return those feelings, I really am truly sorry." I dropped my hair down so he couldn't see my face. I grabbed my knapsack, and ran out the room. I felt rejection wash through every bone of my body and felt the hot tears run down my cheek. I ran and ran, but found myself not going home but to the old playground I and Sora used to play on.
It was where Sora and I went whenever we were really depressed. When I got there I was absolutely shocked to find Sora on the swing set just swinging. I quickly hid so he couldn't see me and got a closer look. Sora's once happy go lucky expression was a depressed face that had tears streaming down his face. I walked up and sat on the swing next to him. He quickly composed himself and wiped his tears, and gave me a fake smile. "Hi Kairi, What's up?" But then he noticed my red puffy eyes and the tears running down my cheeks. "Oh my god what's wrong?" I never answered though; I just sat there and cried. He came up and comforted me. I hugged him and soaked his shirt with my tears.
Sora POV
Well as I hugged my best friend, there on the playground my face went tomato red, but Kairi didn't noticethankfully. This is the worst Valentine's Day ever….
