Chapter 2: Let's Sing!
Previous chapter:
" So, who's the lucky guy?" Riku asked as he and the others turned around.
" No one!" I lied. I hated lying.
" Yeah right! Go on, Kairi! Tell them who you like." Selphie gave me a tug. I took a glance at Sora and then at his friends.
" Okay, I'm going to be honest with you." I could tell that Selphie was getting excited.
" I likeā¦"
This chapter:
" I have a long distance boyfriend." I lied again. I watched as Selphie's jaw dropped. Namine closed it.
" Oh. Okay, sorry for bothering you." Roxas apologized. For popular boys, they were quite friendly. We went back to eating.
" Why didn't you tell them?" Selphie asked.
" Because, I'd embarrass myself and Sora. He would hate me for sure if I did that." I sighed. How was I ever going to tell Sora?
Lunch ended and it was time to go to science. The three of us got our things and headed to the science classroom. We were taking chemistry since we liked working with chemicals. It was a real coincidence because Sora and the others were in this class. It was like, destiny that we were to be in the same classes. Oh well, we walked on and sat at a lab table. The science teacher then started to talk about everything once the bell rang. 7th period was world history. I went and took a seat, but really freaked out when I saw Sora take a seat next to me. My heart was skipping beats. I really hoped that Sora didn't have Choir. The three of us slit up for our last class of the day. I walked over to Choir and my friends walked to their other classes. I sat in a chair in one of the rows of chairs. The instructor came I and began the class.
" Okay. Now, for today and the next few days, I'll be recording solos of each of you in the recording room to determine your level. And if your level is high enough, I will have Miss Spence, the Drama teacher, consider you participating in our High School musical coming up." The instructor said as she took role.
Once she was done with that. She began calling us in one at a time. After a few girls went in and came out, it was my turn. I took in a CD that I brought from home. There was a song I wrote and recorded on there. I recorded the music on there when I once went to my mom's job. She works at a recording studio for singers. I walked into the recording studio with my CD.
" So, Kairi, what will you be singing today?"
" Well, it's a song I wrote. The music is recorded on there. It's called, 'When There Was Me and You.'" I gave the CD to the instructor and she put it into the CD player. (A/N: This song is from High School Musical.) I began to sing.
It's funny when you find yourselfLooking from the outside
I'm standing here
But all I want is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
'Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
My dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star that's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song
I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams are meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
'Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I like the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Because I like the view
I thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
I took a deep breath after I finished singing. The teacher looked interested. I walked out of the recording studio and sat back in my seat. I was holding onto the CD I used. Many minutes passed by and school was over. Everything was just the same every year except for choir. This time, they recorded solos of you. I sighed and walked out of the choir room. I walked upstairs to my locker and grabbed my things. I met Namine and Selphie outside. It looked like they had a good time in their electives. We started to walk towards our houses. Strangely, I was still holding the pencil Sora gave me this morning.
" So, did Sora give you any more pencils?" Selphie teased.
" No. I didn't talk to him." I sighed.
" Why not? He seems like a nice guy." Namine encouraged me. " So, anyway, how did your solo go?"
" It went good. The teacher really liked it. If she liked it that much, she'll have the Drama teacher consider taking part in the High School musical coming up."
" Wow. Sounds exciting!" Selphie said.
I went my separate way from them as I came up to my street. I hummed the song I sang during class while walking. As I walked, I took a glance at the house that was next door to me that I've never been to. I don't know why I've never been to that house. I think it was because before the new family moved in four years ago, the neighbors were total idiots. So, I guess my parents have always prohibited themselves from going over there. Oh well, I never saw my neighbors. I was always with Selphie and Namine. I walked into my house, which was empty. I had nothing to do, so I decided to try and write a new song to be recorded. I took the pencil Sora gave me and began writing. I couldn't decide what to call it, but I decided that the plot of this song is that a girl was kidnapped in order to save her dad and she wishes she could go home. That's when I decided to name the song, "Home." (A/N: This song is actually from Beauty and the Beast: The Broadway Musical.) I started to sing after I wrote most of it.
Yes, I made the choiceAnd Papa I will stay
But I don't deserve to lose my freedom in this way
You monster
If you think that what you've done is right
Well then, you're a fool
Think again
Is this home
Is this where I should learn to be happy
Never dream
That a home could be home could be
Dark and cold
I was told
Every day in my childhood
Even when we grow old
Home should be where
The heart is never or were so true
My heart's far, far away
Home is too
Would I give
To return to the life I knew lately
And to be
My complaint
Of that dark, crucial time
Is this home
For my year or my day or forever
My singing was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. I put my notebook to the side and answered. My heart skipped beats when I saw Sora! He had something in his hands.
" Sora, what're you doing here?" I asked nervously.
" You dropped this on your way out of school." Sora handed me the CD I took for choir. Of course, he knew it was mine because it had my name and address for if someone found it.
" Oh, thanks." I took the CD and put it to the side. " You want to come inside?"
" Nah, I have to get to work. I only stopped by to give you that." Sora turned around, but looked at me again. " Oh, and by the way, I heard you singing in choir today. You're really good." He grinned and walked off.
" Thanks."
I had a knot in my stomach now. He said I was good at singing? I never felt so good before. First, the pencil, and now this. I was too happy I couldn't write! I walked up to my room and plopped onto my bed. I wish he wasn't so popular. Maybe I would have a chance with Sora if he wasn't. Why did High School have to be so rough?
Author's Note: Please don't sue me for the LONG songs. Kairi sings a lot in this story, so please do not sue for the songs! Anyway, read and review please!
