Am I...Feeling?

Chapter 1

The alarm clock on Riku's bedside table went off and he almost jumped before he realized what it was, telling him to get ready for stupid school. Riku hit the top of the clock looking for the snooze button, while he was half asleep, but couldn't find it. Going impatient and angry at the annoying clock he pulled out the plug from the outlet making it shut off. 'That works' and he went back to sleep not really caring that he will be late to school. Just as he was about to go to sleep his annoying sister, Kiari, was suddenly over him and shaking him, trying to wake him up, "wake up Riku! Time for school!"

Kiari annoyed Riku so much. Kiari was preppy, loud with that squeaky voice of hers, and…well if you had a little sister then you get what im saying. Sometimes Riku would try to convince Kiari that she was adopted cause compared to Riku, Kiari was nothing like him but Kiari would just walk off and just laugh saying that 'you're funny Riku! We're related just face it'

Ugh. She discusses me.

"Riku! Do you want to be late? It won't be a very good thing on you permanent record." Kiari went on.

'Maybe if I ignore her she will go away' Riku thought, hopefully.

"Ugh! Fine but you're going to be late!" Kiari mocked.

'Finally! Now I can go to sleep' Riku settled into bed and drifted slightly into a deep sleep. But then again he was interrupted…

"RIKU! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP!" Riku's mother yelled from downstairs. There was nobody and nothing more than he hated and was kind of scared of than his own mother. And really the only one he obeyed or shall he say had to obey for that matter. "RIKU!!" his mother yelled yet again.

Riku knew that Kiari told on him. Yes, he knew Kiari enough to know that she will tell mother on Riku if it was the last thing she did. And that was another annoying thing about Kiari. Obeying, Riku got out of bed and got ready for school. Sighing in annoyment.

"You got everything sweetie?" Sora's mother asked.

"Yep" sora answered shifting his backpack on his right shoulder. Sora was starting a new school in a new place. This isn't the first time though, he's been to many different schools in different places because of his mom's work. Whenever she announces that they had to move again she always freaks out cuz of me, cuz I had to leave all my friends and the stress about a new school. I don't blame her about the new school idea but not about leaving his friends cuz really, he didn't have any friends. Nobody would want to be his friend just because they think he's a bit strange…and too quiet. So he never felt bad about moving cuz of the leaving the friend situation. Though he didn't like moving and moving to a new place all the time cuz he even forgotten where he was born…his hometown. So if people ask about where he was born or his hometown he would say 'I don't know' which was kind of sad. His mom said that this will be there official place to live, no moving or packing included. And Sora had to admit that he was a bit happy about that, now he has a chance to finally make at least one friend. One was good enough for Sora. He would be pleased if he knew at least one person cared about him…

"Are you sure? Do you have your pens? Pencils? Oh how about-"Sora's mom went on pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Mom! You're freaking out again. Its just school." Sora interrupted, laughing at his mom. She always freaks out about certain things. Especially if it's the first day at a new school.

She took a deep breath "sorry sweetie. Thanks for telling me before I gone crazy" she giggled. She looked on the wall clock. "Oh! You better go before you are late!" She said pushing her son out the door. "bye! Have a good first day!" she called after him.

Sora was walking as fast as he could to get to school before the bell rang saying that class has started.

Sora was in front of the school and was staring at the most biggest school he has ever seen. Before Sora notice what he was doing the bell rang and it snapped him out of his thoughts and he ran into the school going to his locker and only taking out the stuff he will need and ran towards his first class. He opened the door without knocking. Everyone was staring at him at his sudden entrance.

Sora blushed.

"Can I help you?" the teacher asked.

Sora was still blushing and he was so nervous he couldn't speak so he just gave him his schedule without saying a word. The teacher studied it "oh yes! You're the new student I was expecting" he gave Sora back his schedule and said "go sit next to Riku in the back. Riku raise your hand."

Sora looked out toward the students to look for a raised hand.

'Did he just call my name? Oh whatever' Riku wasn't paying attention. He was doodling randomly on a sheet of paper that was suppose to be for notes but he was so bored he didn't care.

The teacher sighed "Riku!"

Riku snapped his head up "what?!" rather annoyed.

"I told you to do something!" the teacher scowled

Riku thought for a while

"You weren't listening were you?" he sighed

"No I listened"

"Then what did I say?"

"You asked me if I was listening…duh!" he was talking back 'man he's asking me if I was listening?he should be asking himself that'

He sighed "it's useless. I told you to raise your hand!"

"Why?"

"I'm the one to ask questions! Sora just go sit by him" he turned to sora who was watching both of them argue.

Sora went to sit by the white haired boy with blue eyes…or was it green? Hmmm… it was blue with a little touch of green in it. He had to admit his eyes were unique and breathtaking. He looked away quickly from the white haired boy named Riku when he turned his gaze towards sora.

Sora blushed.

Riku turned toward the brunette named…Sora was it? When he felt like he was staring at him. 'Great! Just great! Now he has to share his personal space with the new kid' Riku thought really annoyed now. He looked at the new kid with a disgusted face. Studied his style and his hair. 'What is up with that hair?' He looked back towards his face and noticed that he was looking at him too. The first thing he noticed was his eyes. They were like a sky blue or like an aquamarine kind of color. 'Wow' Riku's jaw dropped and he was shocked. He couldn't look away. It was like he was hypnotized. 'Look away Riku!' but for some reason he couldn't

Sora didn't know why he was still staring at the white haired boy's eyes they were just so beautiful and his hair. He was…beautiful. 'What am I saying?'

Riku finally snapped out of his trance and looked at him the way he did before "what are you looking at?!" he said in a mean rude voice.

Sora blushed and looked away quickly, sinking into his seat slightly.

The bell rang

Sora jumped the second he heard the bell and left the classroom. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' he kept repeating into his head as he stormed to his next class.

Riku sat there still while half of the students left. Finally he shook his head and realized he was still sitting. He got up and went into the hall trying to look for him but couldn't find him anywhere on his way to class. He was so distracted on finding Sora that he didn't notice some of the girls saying hi to him. 'Why was I so interested in finding that brunette boy?' Riku was confused. He went into his classroom and saw that Sora was sitting in the back of the class and for some reason he wanted to sit by him but sat somewhere far away so he wouldn't be distracted again like he was before.

Riku tried his best to stay far away from him but sometimes he had to sit by him. He had so many classes with that new kid. Why can't he run away from that brunette? He felt really bad about his rude attitude towards Sora and somehow he wanted to make it up to him. He didn't know why he just did. Well…it was probably because he has tripped him and pushed him on purpose in the hallway so he will be humiliated.

'Where is he?' Riku looked around and spot him at his locker and he just walked over towards him.

'Why is he picking on me? Why is he so mean? Is he doing this on purpose? Making me have the worst first day ever? Making me fall on my face for everyone to laugh at' Sora got his things out of his locker and headed out towards the door after a long horrible day.

"Sora…" a familiar voice whispered into his ear causing him to stop into place and shiver down his spine. The white haired boy who was mean to him all day and the one who made him cry in the restroom earlier today during lunch came into view in front of Sora.

"Hey" Riku kept an unreadable, calm face.

'Why is he nice to me? Should I say hi or should I just walk away?... walk away' Sora looked at him, confused and just walked away without saying hi back.

"Wait! Sora!" Riku grabbed Sora's shoulder and spun him around. He sighed "look I'm sorry I've been rather rude to you."

Sora blushed at Riku's touch. He tried to hide his face, looking away from him.

"Hello?! Do you speak?" Riku said it in yet another rude voice. He realized it "oh sorry"

Sora stepped away from him

"at least say something to me "Riku said it the nicest way he could do it.

"Um…yes I do speak…why did you do those rude, mean things to me today?"

Riku was shocked at how deep his voice was, it kind of gave him the chills. 'Snap out of it!' "Look I said I was sorry. I didn't…I…" he sighed "come on I'll walk you home"

Sora jumped a little 'why does he want to walk me home?' before Sora could protest Riku grabbed his shoulder and dragged him outside. Sora blushed at his arm around him.

After a few minutes of silence Riku finally answered Sora's question "the first day, well actually the first week, at a new school is suppose to be one of the worst day of your life. So I picked on you because you were a new student. Don't take it personal. I do it too all of the new kids."

"Too late." Sora was humiliated in front of half of the school and Riku expects for him to not take it personal? Wrong.

Riku sighed "I want to make it up to you… why don't we go for some ice cream or something sometime? How does that sound?"

Sora popped out of his sulky mood and jumped up "yeah! That would be awesome!" sora had a big grin on his face. He loved ice cream, his favorite was chocolate. Well… he practically lived off chocolate.

Riku couldn't help but chuckle at Sora's expression. "Good how about this weekend?"

Without thinking he straight out said "yes!"

Riku chuckled. "So are we anywhere close?"

Sora looked around "oh right here" his house was right next to them and he didn't even notice. Both of them walk up to the front steps of the house. Both of them secretly didn't want to leave one another.

"So um… guess I'll see you tomorrow." Riku put his hands in his pockets

"Yeah…" Sora looked at him for a couple of minutes then opened the door with his key, unlocking it. "See you tomorrow" he said before closing the door. He went to his window and watched Riku stand there for a minute until he finally turned away and walked to his own house.

Riku stepped into his house to hear his mom and dad arguing up stairs. He sighed.

"Hey Riku" Kiari had a smile on her face that read 'I know something you don't know about' or a 'you're in big trouble, I'm going to tell mom on you' kind of face.

He sighed yet again "what do you want?"

"Why do you always assume that I want something?" Kiari was still smiling

"Cause you do. I can tell by your smile"

"I smile all the ti-"

"Kiari!" Riku interrupted

"Ok fine… I saw you today hanging with that new kid Sora. You like him don't you!" Kiari was jumping up and down with her smile that Riku wanted so much to slap right off… or really he would rather slap her whole mouth off and send it off to an unknown island. Maybe then he would probably get along with her.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Riku was telling the truth. He didn't know what Kiari was talking about, he doesn't like that brunette boy he barely knows him for crying out loud! 'There is nothing going on between us'. "I'm not gay"

"Are you sure? With that hair of yours I beg to differ." She giggled completely enjoying this moment.

"Whatever Kiari" He walked off into his room. He closed the door behind him and locked it. On his way to his bed he slipped off his shoes and threw his backpack on the floor. He laid down on his bed on top of his sheets.

He sighed.

'He doesn't like Sora…why would she jump to that conclusion? I only knew him for on day. Well actually he barely knew him. Why would she think that I am in love with Sora? In love with a GUY? Seriously she was dropped on her head when she was a baby!' (Not for realz lol) All Riku was thinking about was his day with Sora and how he would blush whenever he was nervous or embarrassed, which was pretty much all day. It was true that Riku would pick on the new kids on their first day but never this much…

ugh!

Why did he pick on Sora five times worst than he usually does? Why was he extra mean to him? He knew why cause Sora was special in some way he didn't figure out himself. Hmm… he's special…but in what way? In a good way or a bad way or some way in between or some thing different? Could he possibly be special enough to create Riku's attention more than he'd ever given attention to anyone in his life before?

He grunted 'why do I care so much??? Why do I give a crap?'

Riku fell asleep in frustration and confusion. Dreaming, unsurprisingly, of the brunette.
