I was walking down the hallways of the school frantically searching around. Roxas missed first period and I was worried, he's never skipped out on classes before. I ran down practically every hallway there was in our school and still no Roxas. I took a break and looked out the opened door to outside. I finally found him outside, standing by the wall. I sneaked up behind him and put my hands over his eyes. "Guess who," I sang.
Roxas put his index finger to his chin, as a mock impression of thinking about my question. Then he said, in his pretended Sherlock Holmes voice "Seeing as though you had to go on your tip toes just to reach my eyes to cover them, and the fact that your voice is so high-pitched. I would love to say that I have deduced that you are none other than Rain."
I guess I wasn't surprised he was able to guess it was me, due to the fact that not many people were as short as me. I was in the range of being a legal midgit, I am exactly 4' 8 1/4", so I'm puny. Though it's not my fault that I haven't grown since 6th grade.
"So where were you," I questioned, slightly hinting on to something deeper in my mind. My hint had almost a suggestive tone to it, which caught Roxas by surprise, and made him jump back a little. He looked at me, blushing while scratching the back of his head awkwardly. He had a goofy grin on his face, and I could tell he was hiding something. "You weren't skipping out on me, were you," I questioned with a noticable amount of anger in my voice.
Roxas laughed a short, awkward laugh and then said, "About that."
"What about that," A shouted, obviously hurt.
Roxas put his hands in front of himself protectively and then said, "No, no, no, no, no, no! Not that way, Rain."
"Then what way," I questioned further with my hands on my hips. I was impatient and didn't want to deal with Roxas's knack of walking around telling me what was happening. I usually let him off the hook but this time I was going to get it out of him.
Roxas looked at the floor and said, "Me and Riku had a bet."
"And what was this bet about?"
He looked up at me with his ocean blue eyes and I couldn't stay mad at him much longer. He was my bestfriend and I guess I was really worried, but over a bet! He pointed at me and then said, "It was about you."
I jumped at this, taken by surprise. Why would Riku and Roxas have a bet over me? What was the bet over me about? Roxas noticed my confusion and then said, "We had a bet, to see who could make you happier, me or RIku," he looked down at the ground and said, "but apparently I'm losing big time."
I bent down slightly and could see Roxas's face, yes I am that short. I smiled and asked, "What exactly does the winner get from this bet?"
Roxas looked at me not moving his head and then said sadly, "The winner gets to share a paopu fruit with you."
I looked at Roxas and asked, "Why do you want to share a paopu fruit with me?"
He smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Honestly I only want to so that Riku can't. That and your my bestfriend, our lives being forever entwisted would make me so happy."
I smiled at the thought and said, "You won, Roxas!"
Roxas looked at me confused and I explained, "Nothing in the world would ever make me more happy, than to share a paopu fruit with you. Your my bestfriend, also what you said help your odds even more."
Roxas smiled at me and I smiled back, then he reached his hand out to me. "Wanna ditch the rest of the school day?"
I picked up my backpack and said, "Sure thing! Sea-salt icecream?"
"I'll race you!"
Me and Roxas ran off towards the ice cream shop and when we enetered we saw RIku at the door. He handed roxas a paopu fruit and said, "This is rightfully yours, Roxas."
Roxas grabbed the fruit and split it in half, giving me a piece of it. Roxas grabbed the other half and then reached it towards me. I brought me half towards him and we shared a paopu fruit together.
{No for all of you out there this isn't a love story. Its a friendship story. If it were a love one I would've put Kate in instead.}
