Sora rolled out of bed and glanced at the clock, it was blinking 7:30 A.M. in bold neon red.
He put on his red shirt and baggy pants; his hands were trembling a little when he was zipping it up. He was just so excited for school to start again only finally he'd be in High School for his freshman year. On the way to school he saw one of his good friends, Kairi. He couldn't miss her with her vibrant pink hair flying beside her. "Hey Kairi! How are ya' doing?" he asked her.
She smiled, happy to see Sora even though they'd seen each other over the break. They were dating after all. "I am fine, thank you," Kairi said. "Did you hear about the new boy that moved in the house down street from you?"
"Sorry, I haven't"
Sora and Kairi got to school quickly and they saw some of their friends Axel, Namine, Zexion, Demyx, and Xion standing at the board with all the class postings.
"Sora, Kairi, do you know what class you are guys in?" Xion asked them.
"Not yet, we just got here" Kairi laughed to Xion.
Xion looked to the large paper on the wall behind her and searched for her friend's names. "I just found you! Sora, you're in class P2 and Kairi, P3."
"Aw, It's too bad we aren't in the same class, I'll see you guys at lunch then" Sora called as he walked to his class.
He walked to his class feeling sort of lonely, he rummaged through his bag in search of the school map to tell him where to go when he walked right into something. Or rather someone, it was a boy with long snow like hair and cold blue eyes that made Sora look away. "Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going" The boy just walked past him and didn't say anything. Sora wondered if he was okay.
The bell rang for the end of day. Sora walked out of the class room and saw the boy from earlier. Being polite, Sora introduced himself with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Sora! What's yours?"
"Riku."
"Yeah, sorry bout earlier" Sora rubbed his head nervously.
Riku walked away without another word, heading for a black car that obviously belonged to him. Sora watched him drive away, still smiling, until Kairi sought him out. They walked home together, and Sora saw that familiar black car on the way.
After he put his book bag down, Sora heard the door bell ring. He opened the door to see his friend Demyx.
"'Sup, Sora?" Demyx said.
"Why are you here?" asked Sora.
"I need help with my homework."
Sora sighed deeply. They spent most of the night working together on their homework, but Sora was preoccupied and not much help. He couldn't stop thinking about the new boy, Riku.
The next morning, Sora saw Kairi standing outside of class.
"Hey! How are you?" Sora asked her.
"Doing well. Thanks," Kairi said.
He looked up. Riku was walking past on his way to class. Suddenly, Sora's face turned a shade of light red. All of his friends looked at him, concerned.
Kairi spoke up, "Why did your face turn red when the new kid came by?"
"I don't know. It just sort of… did," Sora said.
Sora went to class and the rest of the day went fast and normal once again.
The ball rang for end of the day. Instead of walking with friends, Sora walked home by himself. Soon enough, the skies turned grey and rain slowly pelted down on the asphalt. The boy ran all way home, and quickly went to his room.
He lay on his bed and thought about the random blush when Riku had walked by. Sora didn't want to think about what might happen if they ever saw each other again.
