False Mask
Second Chapter
"Riku, come here." My father shouted from his home office. I dropped the remote controller and headed for the office. "Your keys." I saw my father throwing something at me. I grabbed it easily and realized it was my car keys.
"Father?" Puzzled, I said.
"I got a call from the police officer. As it seems, the accident wasn't your fault. The teenage, what's his name? Oh, Sora. He's a suicidal kid. The officer said he had thrown himself front of your car." My father shook his head, picking his pen up. "You can't drive your car just yet, not until you get your windshield fixed. Now, get out of here. I'm busy."
I entered my bedroom – the large bedroom with queen-sized bed. I went to see my reflection in the mirror. My mind wandered to Sora, once again. Lately, all I do was just thinking about that guy. I was tired of thinking of Sora that I probably will never see again in my life.
Everything was fine, until that stupid party. Kairi was so furious at me, yelling at me. I never had a fight with her before, so it's little scary. The day after the fight, nearly everyone in the school knew about it already. Of course, they also knew about the accident, but didn't really care about it much. Strange… I thought about Sora more than I should about Kairi. After all, Kairi was my girlfriend for a year and I didn't even know Sora.
I looked at my alarm clock to see what's time it is. The eleven o'clock. I changed into the black pajamas and jumped into the bed. I tried to get some sleep but I can't seem to get any. I sighed, and stared at the ceiling. I must have been stayed awake for a whole hour or couple before the sleep finally claimed me.
I picked the bowl filled with the French fries then headed for the empty table in the school café. I slowly munched on my French fry, wasn't really that hungry.
"Hello, Riku!" I heard Wakka's voice, and saw him took a seat beside me. "The school's hottest couple broke up! Didn't think it will happen, ya." He smiled at me, and staring at me hard. I knew he wanted the explanation about Kairi and me. I didn't say anything but munching on the French fries. After the few moments of waiting, Wakka finally gave up staring and started to eat his sandwich.
"Ok, I got a feeling you don't want to talk about it. Will you come to play the soccer with the gang and me? After the school, ya?" Wakka continued, "I will win this time for sure!"
"I doubt it."
"Sooooorraaaa! Wait for meee!" I heard the loud shout, startled. Did somebody just called Sora's name? I looked over my shoulder, searching for Sora desperately. Then, I saw him. He stopped walking, nearby the doors. He seemed to be waiting for somebody. Here's my chance.
"Riku, wha…?" I heard Wakka said in the confusion. But it's hardly any mattered. I was determined to not lose Sora again. I struggled through the crowd, and finally reached the door. But Sora wasn't there. I picked my pace up and searched the hallway. Finally, I found him with the brunette. He saw me then froze in his place.
"Sora?" The brunette said in surprise, and then turned to the direction where Sora was looking at. "Riku!" I slowed my pace down and approached them.
"Hello." I said, suddenly became very self-conscious.
"Hi, Riku! My name is Selphie!" She said, beaming her smile at me. She nudged Sora, startling him.
"Oh, hello, silver hair. I mean, Riku!" He flushed a bit, looking down at his boots. Did he just call me silver hair? Selphie suddenly burst into the crazy laughter, pointing at Sora.
"Brown Hair, I will see you later!" She laughed as she ran away – or should I
say, bounced away? I moved my eyes to Sora who was still looking at his boots. I noticed he got a cast on his left wrist. And he had so messy, chocolate hair. I didn't think he combed it this morning.
"If you wanted to say sorry about the accident…" I was startled out of the thought when Sora finally spoke up. "Not be! I'm all over it." He grinned at me, and then shook my hand with his good hand.
"But sorry anyway." I said.
"Today's Friday. I always go to Diary Queen for the ice cream, wanna come with me?" His grin was still there. All invitations from the students, I always refused – but politely of course. But I felt so guilty about causing the broken wrist, so I nodded. "Awesome! See you after the school!" I watched him went off running until he turned around the corner. I went back to the café.
"Hey, Wakka." I sat down at the same spot, picking the French fry. Wakka looked at me with his confused eyes. I munched on the French fry, and scowled at the bowl. It's cold.
"About the soccer, ya?" Wakka asked, drinking his soda.
"I can't. I'm busy this afternoon." I said, remembering Sora.
"Crybaby. Too scared to take me on?"
"If I recall, I won the soccer games against you all time. It is you who should be scared. I will play you tomorrow at noon." I smirked at him, pushing the bowl away. Wakka looked away and mumbled something I didn't understand.
"Tomorrow, ya."
I walked out of the school and saw Sora waiting for me. He was easy to spot with his hair all sticking out and apparently Sora's color-blind. His outfit was almost screaming. Sora waved at me, grinning. As I got closer, I saw the band-aid on his forehead. I didn't see it before… Sora must had noticed me staring at his band-aid, because he said,
"Not ask about my band-aid." He flushed, looking very embarrassed. "C'mon, let go!" We took off to Dairy Queen; it was only fifteen minutes walk. For the few minutes, we walked in silence.
"I don't mean to be bother but why did you break up with Kairi?" Sora said, looking at me. I scowled immediately at mention of my ex-girlfriend's name. "I saw you together, it seems you were prefect for each one. Hard to believe." I rolled my eyes, and then glared at him. "I'll shut up, right now." He grinned once again, and started to hum. His humming was irritating, and I wondered why did I agree to come along with Sora. I wanted to say something but didn't know what.
"Kairi accused me for having a secret affair." I said, before realizing what I had done. Sora stopped humming, and gave me a surprised look.
"You have a secret affair?"
"No!" I yelled at him. "I don't even know why she thought I was cheating on her. I bet it was her mother who lied to her."
"Why? I mean, why did her mother lying to her?"
"She always hated me. When I last spoke to her, she said she dug up the grave and is waiting for me." I shuddered at the memory. Sora laughed, holding his stomach. "What's so funny about it?" I glared at him. He just shook his head and laughed some more.
"Nothing… nothing…" Sora said, chuckling. "Are your mother's same as Kairi's mother?"
"Of course not. What's about yours?" I noticed something dark flashed in Sora's eyes. He immediately turned away from me, hiding his face from me. I was surprised by a sudden change in his personality. He was laughing and now he just won't look at me.
"Sora?" I poked at his shoulder. Sora slowly moved his head, but wasn't looking at me. I only saw his side of the face. He was upset. Then in the second, it's all gone. He was grinning, ear-to-ear, looking at me.
"My mom's dead. And we're here!" Sora bolted into the store. I looked up and realized we had arrived at Dairy Queen. I was baffled by Sora. I sighed, already regretting by asking him about his mother. I entered the store and saw Sora drooling at the menu.
"I've enough for one, can you pay for yourself?" Sora said, looking at the menu. I shook my head.
"I will pay for both of us."
"Really? Great! Then I will order the large-sized one!" Sora was beaming. "Hello, Farrah! Usual in large-size." He talked to the DQ worker. She looked like nineteen years old. "Make it two!"
"Two?" I was surprised. Will Sora eat all of it?
"For you, silly! What, you think I'm going to eat it all myself?" Sora impatiently waited for his order. I secretly hoped it wasn't some disgusting food, like the Blizzard green apple candies with cheese and caramels. I tried it before and I got sick for whole day. Farrah, the worker, gave Sora the two Blizzard large cups. Sora handed me one cup. I looked at it, strawberries with oreos?
"It's so good! C'mon, taste it!" Sora looked at me, excitedly. I gulped and took a small amount of the ice cream on my spoon and tasted it. "Well? Well?"
"It's good." I said in surprise.
"Told you! I gotta go home, see ya later!" Sora laughed and walked out of the store. I watched at the door where he left. Sora, the suicidal kid? He seemed to be very happy, and content. In fact, he didn't look too shaken about the accident. Acted as if it never happened. I wondered if he truly has a death wish.
"Excuse me, sir? You have to pay, you know." Farrah said, waving at me in attempt of catching my attention.
