And here's chapter 3….thank you so much Amu123 for your review and kind words. You are my first review for my first story. And yes Roxas is in this story. Oh, and about Demyx, don't be so quick to judge. ^_^
Please enjoy.
I decide to wake up early and take the long way to school today since it's such a beautiful day. I can't stop thinking about tomorrow -Saturday-, the day we all go out. I've been in such high spirits. In fact, thinking bout the weekend made the rest of the first and second days of school -Wednesday and Thursday- go by faster. Today is finally Friday.
Cloud, Yuffie and I had a three-way phone conversation last night about our plans for tomorrow. We decided we'd all meet up at Cloud's place, hang out there for a while, then go out to eat and see where it went from there. I tried to tell him that that's not really a plan, and Yuffie said it was lame, but he immediately reminded us that he's the one that set the whole thing up and that if he wanted to just chill, then we're just going to chill. So that was that. And we couldn't argue.
I make my way up the path, humming a tune I can't identify, swinging my shoulder bag back and fourth. The weather is really nice today. I hope it's like that tomorrow. I wave to a few people that pass and smile. I love Twilight Town.
With the humming and daydreaming, it didn't even feel like I had taken the long way. I was walking down the path to my school in no time, where students were hanging around outside the front. I look at my cell phone clock to see that I have about thirty minutes until class starts. So I head to the cafeteria for some food, texting Yuffie on the way to see where she is.
I receive her response as I enter the quiet lunch area where, as always, few people are eating breakfast. Turns out she's running late and won't make it for breakfast. I sigh and sit at our spot by the window once I get my food. I'm eating cold cereal today, which is pretty rare for me. I pour the mini milk carton into the paper bowl filled with lucky charms and look around to see if Sora's made it yet. No he hasn't. I guess there's nothing left to do but stare out the window.
I'm a daydreamer, so it's easy for me to entertain myself in my head, whether I'm thinking about something I saw on TV last night or thinking about what it would be like to date Sora, it isn't such a big deal to be alone.
Now I'm thinking about tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow will be the day Sora and I hit it off, I think as I eat a spoonful of cereal.
"And then he fell, like boom! and got mad when I started laughing," Demyx interrupts my thoughts by noisily walking into the cafeteria with Riku. No Sora. They walk to the front where there's no longer a line.
I watch them all the way until they sit down. According to my phone, we have about twenty minutes left until class starts. So I go back to eating the remainder of my cereal and daydream, trying my very best to ignore the loud guy who's forever loud, even in the morning.
The bell rings before I finish all of my cereal, as I was eating super slow, and got tired of it after awhile. I pick up my stuff and throw the now soggy cereal in the trash. I notice that Sora isn't here. That's odd.
I see Yuffie on the way to class and she tells me about how she bragged to her friend, Selphie, about how she was hanging out with Demyx tomorrow. I also see Hayner on the way, who tells me about a party he's having for his birthday soon. Then it's off to first period math.
-------------XII-------------
Then second period P.E., which I have with Cloud. I like that I have it so early this year, so it isn't hot when we have to run. Though I hate having it with Cloud, because his super talented athletic-ness always make s me look bad, since he always does things with me. He's a good runner. I'm not a very good runner. And that's the way it is.
-------------XII-------------
Third and fourth period are science and literature. I have fourth period literature with Yuffie, so with our note passing, I have something to do. Though today's note weren't very fun since all he wanted to do was obsess over Demyx. Bleh.
-------------XII-------------
Fifth period art was fun today. Since it's only the third day of school, we got to do whatever we wanted, as long as it was some form of art. I wrote a poem. I like poetry, and I like to think that I'm pretty good at it.
So now it is lunchtime and I'm starving. I do the usual routine of dropping my stuff off at my locker, getting munny, walking to the cafeteria, and sitting down at our table with that oh so perfect view of Sora's table. Cloud's the first to arrive at the table.
"Good afternoon, Kai," he says cheerfully.
"Hello," I reply. As I watch Riku and the rest make their way to their table. No Sora.
"Where's Sora?" I wonder out loud, momentarily forgetting that Cloud is there.
"Oh, he's out today," he answers me, pulling his two slices of pizza apart.
"Is he alright?" I ask. Cloud smirks.
"How should I know?" Cloud shrugs, "it's probably nothing."
"Yeah," I respond. I hope he can still come with us tomorrow. It'll be pointless if he doesn't show. Well for me at least.
I hear Yuffie's 'hey!' before I see her.
"Anyone know who the cute new dude is?" she asks as she takes her seat next to me and across form Cloud.
"What new guy?" Cloud asks her.
"I'm not sure that he goes here," Yuffie states, "he wasn't wearing a uniform but he was bringing in some boxes to the gym area." I shrug, shaking my head.
"If I wasn't completely in love with Demyx, it would be him," she gets this dreamy look, "I love blondes."
I look at Sora's table to see Riku and Demyx leaving the others and heading our way. Yuffie squeals in delight. Cloud turns around to meet Riku's grin about something or another.
"So what are we gonna do tomorrow?" Riku asks as he approaches the table with Demyx in tow.
"Meet at my house to hang out, then go eat or something," Cloud declares to them as Yuffie snorts. Seeing as Sora isn't there, I lose interest and continue eating. Now they're just talking about whatever. Yuffie's even trying to put her input in on some things, considering Demyx is there. I just eat and stare at nothing in particular.
"Oh, yeah, I don't know if Sora can make it," Demyx announces. I instantly flick my eyes over to him.
"Why not?" Cloud asks, glancing at me.
"Dunno," he shrugs, "Think it's got somethin' to do with his aunt." My face falls in disappointment. Cloud gives a sort of sympathetic look.
I eat the rest of my lunch in silence. There goes my chance of hitting it off with Sora. I try not to look too disappointed though, since that might raise questions for Riku and Demyx.
The bell rings for sixth period and my good mood has evaporated. Cloud catches up with me on the way and tells me not to look so down.
"It's just one day," he assures me, "plus Demyx said he doesn't know if Sora can come." I agree so he'll leave me alone and go to class.
I enter the class and sit down, slouching in my seat. Cloud's got a point, even if he was just saying something to brighten the mood. Oh well. This really shouldn't get me down. I'm being unreasonable. I tell myself that as I try to concentrate on class work.
-------------XII-------------
Yuffie offers to walk me home but I tell her to go ahead. I'm going to the library. I like to read and our library has lots of interesting things in it. I prefer coming alone since Yuffie talks too much, even when she's suppose to be reading, and Cloud hates to read and complains or plays around too much. So I come when I can get them to go away.
I walk into to the library and smile at the librarian. Since I come here so often, she's become kind of like a friend. She recommends things to me and is great to talk to about some things.
I've already checked out a few books, so I head straight to my favorite spot: the big red beanbag by The Window. It's The Window because it's a giant window that covers the entire wall. So it's basically like a transparent wall, like the ones you see the mannequins in at stores. It's in the back, where all the beanbags and arm chairs are. So peaceful and light, it's the perfect place to read. Or sleep.
I sigh contentedly as I collapse on my beanbag. Then I retrieve my book from my bag and get to reading. I'm reading a supernatural story, where the guy can't be with the human girl because he's some kind of immortal being. (A/N: There's probably many stories like that, but I was just being lazy…). It's kind of sappy and overdramatic, but since I started, I might as well finish it.
I read for about an hour before deciding it's time to go home. So I pack up and head back to the front. The place is practically empty. I wave goodbye to the librarian, whose name always seems slip my mind, and exit the library. I walk down the long hall, taking out my cell phone to check the time. It appears I have a new text message. I click read now but before I can read it, a crashing sound makes me look up. Books and three now empty boxes are sprawled out on the floor.
"Damn," a guy mutters, bending down to gather the fallen items. I place my bag down and bend down across from him. He looks up as I crouch down.
"Uh, hi," I smile, not really knowing what else to say. The blonde looks at me blandly before continuing. I can barely keep myself from staring. He's absolutely stunning, with 'swirly' golden hair, deep blue eyes, and soft features. He isn't in a uniform. Just a loose black t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Who's this guy? It doesn't take long to clean up the books. We stand back up and he stacks the boxes again.
"Need some help?" I ask him as he tries to balance them on top of each other. He's bound to drop them again sometime along the way it I don't take one. I put my bag on my shoulder and hold out my arms. He doesn't reply. He just turns to me and slides a box into my arms and starts walking down the hall. So I follow him in silence.
We turn in at the library. I follow him behind the counter, where he drops the boxes, placing my box next to his. Then without a word, he walks out, so I follow.
We make our way back to the front of the school and he goes to the multipurpose room. He suddenly stops, making me walk right into him.
"Is there a reason why you're following me?" he asks impassively, not turning around. I'm taken aback a bit by his question.
"I uh, was trying to see if you needed any help," I tell him in a quiet voice. He turns around and stares at me, his face void of emotion. I feel my face heat up.
"No. Go home." He commands before going into the room, closing the door behind him. I stare at the door. He didn't even thank me for helping.
I walk to the entrance of the school.
And as if on some kind of cue, I get the same reoccurring feeling that something isn't right. This time, however, I feel as if something else isn't going to ruin something good. I'm going to ruin it.
What the hell?
