Part 2
Riku's head was filled with plans to discover Sora's secret.
First plan: take a look at the notebook while Sora was busy doing something else.
After having observed his victim's behaviour for a while, he gave up on this idea. The notebook was never left unattended, not even when Sora went to the toilet, Riku suspected.
Second plan: convince some stupid guy to take the notebook for him.
But the only guy that was stupid enough to do something like that was a blonde boy called Demyx. The problem in having him carry out his plan, was Demyx's boyfriend, a gloomy black haired boy. Riku didn't remember his name, but he knew that he was the blonde boy's watchdog: it wasn't possible to separate them.
'The notebook is never left unattended, Demyx is never left unattended, what the hell should I do?' he thought, more than annoyed
He had no more ideas left. Riku walked into the school gate, sighing loudly.
"Hi, Riku!" two familiar voices shouted to him
He turned around and saw Axel and Roxas, walking while holding hands in an embarrassingly lovey-dovey way.
"Hi, guys." he answered without even a hint of enthusiasm in his voice
"What's wrong?" Roxas asked, seeing him like that
Riku reflected on the best kind of answer to give to that question.
"What would you do if you wanted to have a look at something that belong to someone else, when this someone doesn't want you to look at it?"
They widened their eyes, giving him a shocked look.
"I wouldn't look?" Roxas said, quite uncertain
"I would wait for him to show it to me himself?" Axel tried, at the same time
Riku shook his head: they both were far too honest to came up with a good idea.
Not looking wasn't even a choice and waiting for Sora to show him the notebook was out of question. He sighed again.
Finding out Sora's weakness wasn't as easy as it seemed.
"Oh, my, look, isn't that Riku?" a girl in the courtyard screamed to her friend
"You're right! We're so lucky he transferred to our school!"
Riku wasn't paying them any attention, as usual, but their screams made him realize something. His influence on girls could be extremely useful.
If Sora had a friend who was a girl, she would have known something about the notebook. And girls were usually glad to tell him everything he wanted to hear.
"Roxas, do you know if Sora has a girl friend?"
Roxas gave him a perplexed look. Probably he was thinking about a girlfriend.
"I mean, a girl who's his friend." Riku explained, a little annoyed
"Oh, yes!" the blonde boy answered "Her name is Kairi, they're childhood friends. She's in my class...why do you want to know?"
Riku practically run away, the name of his new target in mind.
Once more, he was too lucky to be true.
But, when he was thinking that, he had yet to meet Kairi!
He looked at that reddish haired, tiny girl and smirked. 'Too easy' he said to himself.
"Are you Kairi?" he asked he, with his most fascinating smile
She gave him an incredulous look.
"Yes, it's me!" she exclaimed "Is there something you need?"
Riku was very satisfied with that answer. Sometimes, Sora's cold behaviour made him wonder if he wasn't charming enough. Seeing girls head over heels in love with him made him feel better. Now all he had to do was wrap Kairi around his little finger.
"Yes, princess." he smiled brightly "You know, Roxas told me that you were Sora's friend, but he never told me that you were such a beauty!"
Kairi blushed and smiled back at him.
"Oh, no, what are you saying?"
"You know, I'd really like to be Sora's friend too, but he doesn't seem to like me." he sighed, spying her reaction "So I thought, maybe if I can discover his hobbies, we can become friends. For example, I was wondering what is written on the notebook he always..."
Hearing about the notebook, the girl immediately stopped to smile.
"You mustn't look at that notebook, no matter what." she said, coldly
He gave her a confused look. He had been too conceited, thinking it would have been so easy to have Kairi tell him everything.
"What? But why?"
"None of your business." she hissed "You'd better leave Sora alone. There are things...anyway, don't look at the notebook!"
After that, Kairi turned around and walked away without saying another word.
Riku was shocked. He had never thought the notebook could be so important.
Riku started to think that there was something serious about that matter. Maybe Kairi was right: it was none of his business. He was just doing it for fun, it might have been right in another situation, but...
While he was nearly repenting, fate unexpectedly decided to step in.
He bumped into Sora, making him drop the notebook.
Sheets of paper and photos scattered everywhere.
Sora shrieked and fell on his knees, trying to pick everything up as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry." Riku apologized "Let me help you..."
He was about to pick up a photo, but Sora tore it off his hand.
"Don't touch it!" he screamed hysterically
Riku was shocked to see Sora's eyes filled with tears. He stood still, while the other boy was gathering everything and running away.
For the first time in his life, Riku felt that he was an horrible person.
That afternoon, Kairi waited for him after school.
As soon as he noticed her, he already knew the reason. Not to mention her aura was incredibly menacing.
"I told you to stay away from him, you jerk!" she screamed, overwhelmed with anger
"It was an accident..." he tried to reply
"Liar!" she interrupted him "You wanted to be his friend only because you were bored, weren't you?"
She was really sharp. Like she had a sixth sense. The boy couldn't deny it.
She vented all her anger onto him, before leaving.
But Riku didn't care. It wasn't his usual way of not caring about something because he felt superior. He didn't care neither if she got mad at him, nor if she hit him...he knew she was right. After seeing Sora cry, he was feeling lifeless.
His game has caused that boy to suffer, and he couldn't forgive himself for that.
He had to find a way to fix things.
However, he still couldn't understand why Sora had acted that way.
After all, all he saw were clothes's sketches and photos of an older boy.
I'll publish next chapter soon! Please review it! =)
