Sora took a deep breath. He was cool, totally cool. All he was gonna do is ask his crush to help him out with Spanish, no big deal.
He was brought out of his inner pep talk by a tap on the shoulder. "Ah" He turned in surprise. "Oh, sorry about that." A dreamy smile crossed his face once he realized who had tapped him.
It was Kairi Lancaster, the red-headed genius of Destiny Islands High. She was brilliant, dedicated, hardworking, and had the best smile. Riku called her a nerd but she was an amazing nerd.
"Could you get them?" Kairi once again brought him back down to earth
"Sorry, what?"
"I dropped my glasses, could you get them?" She politely repeated.
"Sure!" Sora beamed before leaning over and picking up the said article.
"Thanks," Her hand accidentally brushed his as he passed them to her. "I can't see anything on the board without these ugly things."
Sora would disagree on calling them ugly, but he knew that wasn't exactly the kind of thing you told an acquaintance.
"So, uh, Kairi?" Sora mentally prepared his question in his mind.
""Yeah?"
"Uh, Coach said I need to bring up my Spanish grade, and since you like make A's in the class I was like wondering if you could tutor me some?" Sora sincerely hoped he didn't sound as awkward as he had to himself.
"Sure I'm free," Kairi smiled. "I know you got practice during the week, does Saturday sound good?"
"Saturday sounds great!" He replied. "Can we meet at the library at 2:30?"
"Works for me," She answered. "If that's all, I really got to get back to my homework, 'kay?"
"Okay." Kairi went back to work, but all Sora could do was grin like a maniac. It had worked, he really should be paying attention, considering he's failing, but it had worked.
