False Mask

First Chapter

The black, sleek car drove rapidly on the quiet street, ignoring the stop posts. The driver, in a very bad mood, accelerated the speed. The driver ignored the surroundings, pondering about his situation with Kairi. She was beautiful and very kind, but she wasn't like that when I met her in the party. That scared me. I remembered seeing Kairi and then she and I argued, then later I stormed out of the party.

It was raining, I realized. I looked ahead of me, seeing only the light mist and thick rain. I got a little fidgety, knowing the danger of speeding through the heavy storm. I slowed my car down a bit.

I heard a short scream before a loud smash. I stomped my foot on the brake. The car skidded and went off the street, but didn't crash into the tree – luckily. I watched in shock at my cracked windshield. Ahead of me, I saw the tree, just a few feet away.

Did I just hit an animal? I desperately hoped it wasn't a person. I forced myself to open the door and took a look at the street. At first, there were nothing, but I spotted something. It was dark and lying on the grass, just next to the street. It was definitely not an animal.

"Hello? Are you ok?" I waited for the reply but didn't get any. I didn't really know what to do. I glanced at my surroundings, hoping to find any sign of people. But nobody was around. It was getting dark, and the forest was getting to look a bit scary.

I slowly made my way over to the person. It was a guy, facing down in the grass. I knelt down next to him. My mind wasn't really working as I just dazed at him. My heart was beating so fast; I was surprised that it didn't burst.

The cellphone! I jumped on my feet and went for my car.

I looked at the magazine – 'Latest Fashion'. I flipped the pages but wasn't really reading. My mind kept wandering to that guy. Will he make it? And when he wakes up, will he go on a killing spree to get his revenge? I closed my eyes, made a mental note to not watch revenge movies anymore.

I dropped my magazine on my lap, and then tilted my head so I saw the white, bland ceiling. Oh, god. It was so torturous, just waiting.

"Riku!" I heard the familiar voice. I jerked my head to the caller's direction to see my parents. Oh uh. My father sure didn't look too happy. I winced, lowering myself even deeper into the chair.

"Oh, darling! Are you okay?" said my mother, looking at me with sad eyes. She put her hand on my forehead to check if I had a fever. She always did that, I didn't really know why. She seated herself in the chair next to mine. She swung her arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tightly.

I half expected my father to scream at me, but he surprised me. He kept silent, just glaring at me. I didn't really know if it was a good thing or not. I noticed the familiar doctor, approaching us. He was the guy's doctor.

"Riku? He's fine. Just bruised." The doctor said with a smile. "You should be very exhausted, with those officers and the accident. I suggest you go home and have some good rest. You may come here if you wish to visit Sora."

"Sora? That is his name?" I raised my eyebrow, wondering why he had a girl's name.

"Yes. He was conscious for some time. He said his name was Sora but this is all. I have no idea where he lives, or his family. Do you know?"

"No. Sorry." I answered.

"Come on, Riku. Let's go home and get some rest like the good doctor said!" My mother said, grinning at me. She took my hand and led me out of the hospital. I looked back at the large, white building and already wondered how long it would be till I saw him again.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" I groaned, still only half awake. At first, I thought my father's annoying pager was beeping. I then realized it was my alarm. I slapped my hand on the alarm, hoping that I somehow hit snooze. But it went on beeping.

It's a wonder I didn't break the alarm when I smashed it, finally silencing it. I stayed in bed, fully awake. But I felt so comfortable in bed, all warm.

"Riku! Breakfast's ready and you've got to go to school! Get up!" I heard my mother shouting from downstairs. I groaned as I forced myself to get out of the bed. I went to my bathroom to shower.

After the shower, I changed my clothes and spent a few minutes admiring myself my mirror. The realization dawned on me. Sora. I can't believe I forgot about the accident. I scowled at my reflection. I regretted driving so fast in the street. Thanks to me, Sora's now lying in the hospital in pain. I turned away from the mirror as I suddenly found myself disgusting to look at. I headed for the kitchen to reach my cereal. I glanced at the clock, hanging on the wall and saw the time. It was only half an hour till school! I wolfed down the cereal and grabbed my backpack.

I ran out of the house, reached for my keys in my pocket. What? I can't find my keys. I shoved my hand in another pocket, but couldn't find the keys there. Oh. I remembered my father had taken it from me because of the accident. Ok, I've got two choices. Get my mother to drive me to the school or run like crazy.

I bolted at full speed to my school. I'd rather die than be seen with my mother.

I arrived, but was fifteen minutes late. I hastily made my way into English class, apologizing to Ms. Mackay, who was a very kind teacher and wouldn't give me a detention for being late – unlike a certain teacher I know. I sat in class, pretending to be very interested in the speech made by Ms. Mackay. Soon, as she turned her back to the class, I zoned her out. I stared through the windows.

"So, is it true, Riku?" Tidus whispered from behind.

"What do you mean?" My eyes didn't move from the windows as I spoke.

"The car accident, guy in the hospital. Party."

"What… how do you know about that?" I jerked around, surprised. Tidus made an innocent face at me. But I knew him. He probably picked it up from gossips and rumors. How many times did I have to tell him not listen the gossip?! The blonde guy's face changed, now serious.

"I never knew you were that cruel." Tidus attempted at a frightening scowl but since he was Tidus, he couldn't pull it off. It ended up sort of like a deformed face. I tried not to laugh at his face, and managed not to.

"I didn't intentionally crash into him." I whispered, didn't want to catch Ms. MacKay's attention. I noticed there were a few students eavesdropping on us. "What are you looking at?" I gave them the frightening scowl and it worked like magic. The students snapped their heads forward, looking a bit fearful. I smirked, and turned back to Tidus.

"I mean Kairi."

"Oh." I ignored him and looked at Ms. Mackay.

"Why did you break up with her?" Tidus said, with an angry tone. I continued to ignore him. Tidus tried again but failed to catch my attention.

It'd been a nightmare. I swear. The students kept asking me questions about the party and Kairi. Seemed to me they were more worried about Kairi than Sora, who could've died last night. Well, Kairi was more popular and she was a cheerleader, but still… Anyway, after that student, I think her name was Jane, or maybe Janet, asked me another question about Kairi. I decided that was enough of these questions and frightened her nearly to death.

After that little stunt, most of the students stopped chasing and asking me. I smirked at their actions. Well, too bad I can't get Tidus off my back.

When school was over, I didn't go to my house. Instead, I went to the bus station. I was so eager to see Sora again in the hospital, to see how he was fairing. After all, it was my fault he was in the hospital.

It took half an hour – stupid traffic – to get to the hospital. I walked to the clerk and asked her about Sora.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Sora got better and left the hospital an hour ago."
