[A/N: Ha! I bet you guys thought I wasn't going to update, and this story would remain unfinished like my other one!(and I'm sorry to say, I don't think I'll be updating that one anytime soon. But if you want to write it and give me credit just let me know in a review.]

Chapter Two
One week of spring break was hardly enough. It never was, and the Monday coming back to Destiny High was always torture. Kairi's first class that morning was gym, and her teacher, Mrs. Wellsbrooke, was no softie.
"Alright ladies," she yelled, clapping her hands together. "Let's see who worked out over spring break. 20 minutes, running, and don't even think about stopping to rest. GO!" Kairi heaved a humongous sigh, then began to jog at a slow pace. She definitely DID NOT work out over spring break. The most exercise she had other than her 5 blocks of panicked sprinting was walking to the fridge and back. It was a sad fact: she hated exercise, and loved food. Even though running was supposedly good for you, it left a slightly-out-of-shape person almost dead.

Luckily, Xion was in the same class as her, so they could complain about life together and catch up on things they missed since spring break started.
"Well I ran a 10k last week, but that was it."She laughed, keeping pace with Kairi. Her midnight black hair was tied in a spiky bun, to match her spiky personality. She was wild and fun, but she also was a trustworthy person whom Kairi could always count on.
"I ran 5 blocks after I sent my letter. " Xion gasped, despite being almost out of breath.
"You applied to Paopu?! Damn it, that's FANTASTIC! I would hug you but Coach Olympics here would probably give me detention for stopping."
Kairi smiled. She knew she could count on Xion for moral support and encouragement.
"Just wait till we tell Namine!"

After that gruelling gym class,Kairi had Trigonometry, which was the one class she, Namine, and Xion shared. As usual, Namine was there early, sketching in her art book. To everyone else, Namine was a shy, quiet girl who sat at the back of the classroom sketching. But once you got to know her, you couldn't keep her mouth shut. She always had good advice, funny jokes, and great sketching tips. Once she found out Kairi had sent THE LETTER, she flipped out as much as Xion had.
"Oh my gosh, you really sent it?! YOU'RE GONNA BE FAMOUS!" She squealed. Kairi felt her face flush with embarrassment. Since their current teacher was strict about talking, they exchanged very few words after that until lunch.

By the time lunch rolled around, Kairi was jittery with excitement. The first lunches back from break were always the best. The cafeteria seemed more like a jungle of chattering animals than a school of students. Kairi, Namine and Xion always had epic recollections of their spring break activities to share. But today, they were mostly buzzing about the possibility of Kairi becoming an author.

"When you're famous, you can't forget about us, even if you're having lunch with super important people." Xion said in fake sterness. Kairi and Namine giggled in response.
"Don't worry I don't think I'll ever forget you guys."
There was talk about vacations and what each sibling had said and who ate what flavour of ice cream. But not long after there was commotion at the entrance of the cafeteria. The populars had entered, and took their rightful place at the centre of the cafeteria. HE was with them, dressed in a classic blue jacket and pants, looking adorable, as usual.

His squad consisted of 3 boys, and 3 girls. There was Vanitas, a player that had no respect for girls and seemed to only care for sex. At that exact moment, he was making out with his current girlfriend Larxene. She too, was a bitch in her nature, and Kairi personally hated her the most. Next to them was Tifa and Aerith, which weren't as bad as Larxene but weren't that nice either. Seifer stood nearby, smoking a cigarette in one hand, and playing on his phone with the other. Then there was Riku, a seemingly strong silent type that Kairi didn't really know much about. He was very mysterious, and never said much, so she didn't have anything bad to say about him. Then of course there Sora, who was laughing at something Riku had said, smiling his perfect smile. Kairi couldn't help but stare, he was too beautiful.

He briefly turned his head towards her table, and she started to sweat. Then he stood up out of his seat, and began WALKING TOWARDS HER. That's when she lost it.
"Shit, guys! Sora's walking this way, and my hair looks horrible!" She cried, desperately trying to smooth her red tangly mess. Xion and Namine turned their heads, then immediately took action. Xion began fixing Kairi's hair, and Namine hid her head in her sketchbook while whispering encouraging words to her.
'Please, dear God, don't let him stop here...' Then she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned around slowly, hoping it wasn't him, even though she knew it was.
'I knew I should've gone to church that day.' Kairi thought bitterly as she now sat face to face with Sora.

He looked even better up close, and with a full view of his gorgeous face, Kairi's cheeks began to take on a pinkish glow. He kneeled down next to her and said,
"Hey Kairi. How are you after that nasty spill the other day?" He grinned, flashing his pearly whites. This caused Kairi's face to get a little hotter.
"Oh I'm ff-fine. I really am sorry for running into you, I'm such a klutz sometimes." She laughed nervously, wishing she was anywhere but right here.
"Aw, that's ok. We all have our bad days right?" Sora leaned into his pocket, reaching for something inside.
"After you left in such a hurry, I tried calling after you, but I guess you couldn't hear me. You dropped this as you ran across the street. A car almost ran over it." In his gloved hand now held a small gold chain, with a tear drop shaped pendant dangling from it. Kairi gasped.
"I've been looking everywhere for that! I thought I'd lost it in my room." She added wistfully.

Sora was grinning now, and as he placed it gently in her hands, Kairi's face went from pink to fire truck red.
"Tt-thank you so much, S-Sora." She stammered.
"No prob. I'll see ya around." Then he waved and walked back, leaving Kairi in a trance. Once he was out of earshot, Xion all but yelled, "YOU ran into Sora Takahashi? Is that what you meant this morning, when you said you ran 5 blocks?" She grinned, already knowing the answer. Kairi tried to swat at her, but Xion easily ducked.
"Why didn't you tell me Kai, you could've asked him for Riku's number for me!" Kairi rolled her eyes. Xion saw and replied,
"I'm sorry, but he is cute. And he has a great ass." She noted, checking to see if she could look at it from this angle. Namine shook her head.

"You two have gotten yourselves caught up in the popular guys. You need to find a boy who's sweet, sensitive, and will fight for you just to win your heart." She sighed, glancing at the table where the fencing club boys sat. At the very edge of their table was Roxas, an outspoken person and Namine's secret love. He noticed her staring and waved, but Namnine buried her head deeper in her sketchbook. Xion grinned.

"Yes Namine, we all know about your MOCOR." Kairi raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?" Xion's grin spread wider.
"Massive Obsessive Crush On Roxas. MOCOR." Namine blushed profusely and began to sketch furiously in her notebook. Xion laughed, and although Namine's head was in her book, she smiled shyly.

The rest of lunch hour was not unusual, but Kairi couldn't stop thinking about that unusual encounter. She touched the necklace, now dangling around her neck. It was only Monday, and she'd already had enough of school for the rest of the year.
