Tell me you're Secret

The day had gone by like any other day in Destiny Islands. Blue skies, happy people talking amongst themselves, blitz ball's being passed by children at play, and the lovely palm trees swaying at the winds that moved the currents. Everything was just perfect, at least for everyone but a silver haired boy with light blue eyes named Riku. The teenager was grumbling while sitting on his favorite palm tree that bent at a good enough angle that allowed him to sit on its trunk. The tree was on a small island that was about thirty feet wide across and a perimeter about seventy feet around. The small island connected to the other islands by a boarded bridge that people could walk across.

Sighing, Riku took out a charm that was made up of sea shells that were sewn together to make it look like a paopu (also known as Star Fruit because of its shape and was the color of yellow), a fruit that the islands produced on some of their palm trees. It had a legend that said, anyone who was to share it with someone special would make them connected for the rest of their lives. The charm that looked like this fruit belonged to Sora, who held on to the charm as if his life depended on it. It wasn't the fact that Sora obsessed over it that irritated Riku, it was the fact on why hewas obsessing over it. The charm was a gift to Sora by Kairi. Man did Riku hate that girl, which is why he decided to steal the charm from Sora's room when he wasn't looking. Kairi never did anything bad to Riku to make him hate her; it was just that Sora seemed to hang around her more often with her than with Riku ever since she moved to the Islands. I guess you could say that Riku was well, jealous. He missed his friend because he was the only person he was truly close to. Sora was the light in his heart.

"Rikuuuuuuuu!" Turning around Riku found a spiked haired brunette boy with eyes blue as the oceans themselves running towards him. Had he finally found the person he truly belonged with? "Riku, why did you take my charm?" Apparently not…

Riku looked down at the charm unable to speak. Sudden guilt rushed through him, realizing that he hurt his friend by taking his most precious possession. He held out his hand holding the charm towards Sora. "Sorry I took it…" Riku cringed at his words. He wasn't really truly sorry, but what else was there to say.

Sora took the charm without saying a word and walked off crossing the wooden bridge with his arms straightened at his sides as he huffed out his anger. Riku couldn't help but smile. He looked so cute like that. Riku forgot all about Sora being mad at him. But it was alright, everything would go back to the way it was in the morning, Sora would forgive him and would chat with him in the morning like he always did.

Riku woke up at the sudden ring of the clock. He didn't want to get up. Wanted more sleep. "Ugh!" Riku put his pillow over his ears trying so hard but failing at blocking out the sound of the irritating clock. Why did he even have the time set anyways? It wasn't like he had school that day or anything. Wait! Riku rushed to his calendar that hung on his bedroom door and stared at the data that was circled. He read "June 10, Riku's Birthday." Damn how much of an idiot was he to forget his own birthday? He had just turned sixteen, that meant he had more freedom but also more responsibility. Riku groaned.

"Riku!" A loud voice echoed through the house. Riku rolled his eyes, it was only his mother. "Riku come down here! Your friends Sora and Kairi are here."

Sora? Riku got all excited at the name he had just heard. He actually remembered his name. Riku was about to take off running down the stairs like a little school girl till he realized Sora wasn't alone. He brought that idiotic squealing, laughing, stupid, I love pink and ponies girl, Kairi with him. Wow, great way to start out a birthday, not that he really cared so much about it any way. He was getting too old for childish nonsense.

Riku turned the door handle to his closet and got out a pair of black jeans and a blue t-shirt. Slipping them on, he hurried to the hallway leading to the staircase. Once he reached the bottom steps he stopped. He really wanted to see Sora, but not when Kairi was with him. He couldn't stand the girl after all. So Riku did something stupid once again.

He ran out the back door.

Riku headed towards his boat that was just moving along the small waves of water, but still attached by a rope that was hooked on to the dock. Taking one step into the small drop from the dock, Riku sat in his boat, one of the many places he felt comfortable in. He untied the rope and picked up the oar that was at his feet. Riku used the oar to push himself from the dock and row his way to the island hang out that everyone went to when they were bored, also the island that was right next to the small one that Sora found him on.

The boat smoothly reached the dock, which Riku couldn't help but notice, that the dock was covered in sand, oysters, and seaweed. He grunted as he pushed himself up on the dock, then walking to a small lodge that was close by. When he went inside the lodge was cool and welcoming, with a chair waiting for him, still and quiet. Riku smiled at the chair, it was Sora's favorite chair because Riku made it himself and gave it to him when Sora had turned nine. That was a good day, unlike this one.

Riku sat in the chair remembering all the good times he spent with Sora. Riku wasn't one to cry but he felt a small drop stroll down his cheek. "Damn it… damn it all." Riku muttered not noticing a pair of gold eyes watching him.
