A/N: Ok, here is the second chapter. I hope you like it. PLEASE REVIEW!

The next morning was pretty routine. Namine screamed up the stairs for me to get up and come down for breakfast. I rolled out of bed and dressed for the day. I slowly walked down the stairs to find Namine. She was sitting at the breakfast counter eating fruity Pebbles. I sat down next to her and poured myself some. For awhile all you could hear was the sound of crunching and the clicking of spoons.

" So what do you want to do after school?" I asked.

" I don't know, maybe we could go to the mall."

" Sounds like a plan."

We finished our breakfast and headed to my car. Namine fooled around with my CD player until she found a song she liked. I rolled my eyes, does everyone have to mess with my CD player?

" How long have you and Roxas been dating?" I asked.

" Um…four months this Friday."

" Exciting, so what do you have planned for your anniversary?"

" Nothing. Roxas told me he would take care of it. Speaking of Roxas, isn't that him and Sora?"

I looked around and sure enough, there was Roxas and Sora skating to school. I honked my horn as Namine practically jumped out my window. I pulled over and asked if they needed a ride.

" Yeah, that would be nice." Roxas said as they climbed into my car.

I listened as they all talked about old friends and what was to come this year.

" Oh my god, we have finals this year!" Roxas cried out.

" Yeah I know, but on the bright side that means only half a day then." Sora added.

" So are you guys going to try out for any sports?" I asked curiously.

" Duh! Blitzball of course." The boys said in unison.

I laughed as we entered the school's parking lot. I found a spot near the front we got out and headed for the counselor's office to get our schedules. I flipped through the names until I found mine. I scanned through it.

" Oh goody" I said with a frown.

" What?" Namine asked while looking at my schedule.

" I have geometry."

" It's better than calculus."

" Whatever, what does everyone have for their lunch period?"

"Fourth." Everyone said in unison.

I smiled. At least I had lunch with everyone, and this year we had open lunch. I said goodbye to everyone and headed to my first class. I had to climb some stairs and weave my way through people, but I finally managed to get to it. I opened the door and searched the class for anybody I knew. I found Cloud, an old friend of mine, sitting in the back. I took a seat next to him and gave him a friendly smile. He just nodded.

" Cloud, haven't I told you? If you want to be emo you have to wear tighter pants and eyeliner!" I said teasingly.

Cloud just shook his head and let out a small laugh. I gave him a playful nudge as the teacher walked in. He was a tall and slender. He had a weird beard and small glasses that kind of mushed into his face, which happened to be a tomato red. He sat down behind his desk and took out some papers.

" Good morning class, I am Mr. Kaiok. Take out your books and turn to page 10. I want you to do problem 20 through 45. It's just a review of what you learned last year."

The class let out a groan. He gave them a stern look and which made everybody take out their textbooks.

I opened mine and glanced at the problems. I didn't really feel like doing them so I turned my attention to out the window. The first period gym class was out on the track running laps. I watched as a few students raced to finish first. I let out a small snort as another kid tripped causing the domino effect. Before I knew it, class was over.

My next few classes were uneventful. I saw some old friends and some old enemies. It wasn't until lunch that anything happened. I met up with Sora, Roxas and Namine in the cafeteria so we could decide where to go. There was a lot of arguing about where to eat.

" I say we just go to McDonalds. It's cheap and fast." Namine suggested

" Ok, but I call shot gun!" Sora screamed.

We all made are way out to the parking lot, but were stopped by a familiar face. Nyah, Sora's old girlfriend was standing in front of us.

" Hey Sora, can I talk to you?" She asked while she fluttered her eyelashes.

" Uh, sure. Guys just go with out me, kay?"

I rolled my eyes and stormed of towards my car. I hate that bitch. She was every thing I wasn't. She had long beautiful hair and a pretty face to match. She was a straight A student and a cheerleader. She was perfect and here I was, just normal old Kairi. I opened my car door, got in, and slammed it shut. Namine and Roxas quickly got in afraid that if they took to long I would leave them. I took off out of the parking lot at full speed, hoping I might see Nyah and then I could run the bitch over. I headed down the street towards the McDonalds. Namine was playing with my CD player again. I slapped her hand away a turned it onto something I wanted to hear. She just sort of looked away, her cheeks red with embarrassment. We pulled into McDonalds and got our food. I ate in silence. I didn't really feel like talking to anybody. We finished eating and headed back to school. I drove slowly because I knew I had my next class with Sora. I walked slowly to my class too, trying to make sure I got in right before the bell rang.

I entered quietly, trying to avoid Sora. Unfortunately he saw me and called for me to sit by him. I let out a sigh and sat down next to him. For some reason, I wanted to punch him. I restrained myself and focused on the teacher entering the room.

" Hello class, my name is Mr. Kolokaski. I will be your English teacher for the year. I hope you are ready for your first assignment. I want you to write a page long poem about anything, well that's school approved. Now don't let me waste your time! Get started."

I groaned. I loved to write poetry but I hated to let other people read it. I took out a pen and some paper and began writing my poem. I had only a few lines down before I felt someone gazing over my shoulder. I quickly covered my work and turned to see Sora.

" Kai, can you help me with mine?" He asked innocently.

" NO! And don't call me Kai."

" I have always called you Kai, and why not?"

" SORA! God just drop it ok?"

" Kairi, what's wrong?"

" Nothing, and if there was something wrong I wouldn't tell you anyway."

I turned back around and began to finish working on my poem. I was fuming with anger so I stopped, not wanting my poem to turn out like a hate poem. I sat in my desk tapping my pen against it. I was aware that Sora was starring at me but I refused to meet eyes with his own. I was so tired of watching him date other girls, but I wasn't ready for what was to come next.

" Hey Kairi?" Sora asked me while tapping on my shoulder.

"WHAT?"

" Are you mad because I went with Nyah at lunch?"

" Sora, just drop it."

" Well, I was wondering if you would go to homecoming with me, I mean, if you don't want to you don't have to."

" What? Why?"

" Well, you are my best friend and I would like to go with you."

" What about Nyah?"

" What about her?"

" Nothing. I guess I'll go with you."

He smiled as I turned back around. I was in complete shock. The boy I had loved for so long asked me to homecoming. I felt a little depressed at the fact that we were going as just friends but hey we're going together. I wanted to jump up and down but I knew better. I just hummed a happy tune in my head. I also figured him and Nyah hadn't got back together. This also made me want to hug everybody. The rest of my day I was in an unusually good mood. Finally school got out and Namine Roxas Sora Rikku and me headed for the mall. We were going to meet the rest of the gang in the arcade. I drove and let Sora do what ever he pleased with my CD player. Once we were there, Namine pulled me a little behind and asked me why I was in such a good mood.

" Sora asked me to homecoming!" I said while beaming.

" OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

" Shut up, god, can you talk any louder?"

" Sorry, when did this happen?"

" In fifth hour. I was mad at him and he just asked me out of nowhere. He said he wanted to go as friends though."

" Who cares? It's better than not going at all. You can tell him at homecoming how much you like him."

" I think not."

" Oh come on, at least think about it."

She linked arms with mine and we headed for the arcade. We watched as the boys played DDR and teased each other. Namine and I were whispering back and forth when Roxas noticed us.

" What are you two whispering about?" He asked with a sly grin.

" Nothing!" We said in unison.

" Yeah sure, come on spill it."

" Namine was just telling me how good you look when you play DDR." I blurted out.

Namine's cheeks turned the brightest shade of red I had ever seen. I watched as her and Roxas sneaked away from the group. I grabbed Sora's hand and began to follow them.

" What are you doing?" Sora asked.

" Shh, I am following Roxas and Namine. Be quiet."

We followed the two until they stopped in front of a clothing store. Sora and I sneaked in behind them and quickly hid behind some clothes racks. I listened to their conversation.

" Yeah, I guess he asked Kairi to the dance." Namine said.

" Finally, I thought he was…"

My hearing was cut of because Sora had put his hands over my ears. I struggled to remove his hands from my ears. We ended up falling through the clothes and onto the floor at Roxas and Namine's feet. They both starred at us with shocked expressions. Sora and I fell into a fit of laughter. I finally stood up and faced the blushing couple. I was about to say something when my phone rang.

" God, it's my mom. Hello? Yeah, ok. I'll be home in a minute."

" You have to go?" Namine asked.

" Yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow."

I walked out of the mall and headed towards my car. I wonder what Roxas was going to say. I guess I'll just have to ask Namine in the morning. I shook off the thought and headed for my house.
