The Love of Canon
Chapter 2
'One Missed Call' flashed on the screen.
Another black figure stepped into the dark hall. She turned her head towards that direction and she saw the black figure approaching. Is it him? Should I return the phone to him? Question of such ran through her mind as the black figure got nearer.
"…Namine!" the echoed sound woke her up from her fairytale. "What are you still doing here, it's getting late, and we've got to go back before it rains!"
And the thunder strike loudly, drawing her curtains down, ending her own fairytale. Kairi dragged her out of the hall and off they went running in the rain. But at that very moment she stepped out of the hall, he returned with a blue umbrella, almost brushing past her.
He threw the umbrella on the floor and pushed the heavy door apart with full force. As beads of precipitation drips from his wet hair, he searches for his electronic device. High and love, up and down, until, he reached the stage. The black piano stared at him. He walked round and round the stage, searching even in places he has never been before, but no use, he could not find it. He turned around and had a beeline for the piano. He looked in and out of the piano but still to no avail. Could she have taken it, he thought.
"Roxas! I knew I could find you here. It's raining so heavily, why aren't you going back yet?" Riku exclaimed, at the same time dragging him out of the darkened hall.
Disappointment replaces the oxygen in the atmosphere as he left the hall and disappeared into the rain. The pitter-pattering of the rain and the splashing of puddle by vehicles by the road, made his mood even heavier. He reached home and threw both himself and his bag on to the bed and the angry him drifted to sleep.
Night falls as rain slowly stopped. Again the phone vibrated and it was making a big din on her study table. She reluctantly got out of her bed and picked it up.
'Home' was calling. Confuse, she was, she did not dare to pick up this call. How can I be home and it's calling me? She mentally slapped herself after a few seconds, noticing that it wasn't her phone that was ringing. She slowly moved her finger to the green button and thought twice about pressing it.
"Hello?" her voice shivered.
"Hey, thank god you picked up. I was thinking you were going to take my phone and make money out of it. Anyway, I'm the owner of the phone you are holding on to now? So can I have it back?" he asked her not using much of politeness.
"Er… yeah, why not? How am I to get the phone back to you, mr-i-have-no-manners?" she questioned back as rudely.
"Will tomorrow after school be fine with you, young lady?" he asked with that sense of sarcasm in his tone. "And THANK YOU for returning me my phone."
"Whatever." She hung up the phone, but inside her she was excited, almost hyperventilating already. After all it's her crush she is meeting. She cursed herself under her breath for being so rude to him just a moment ago.
The call ended just like that, but the dial tone rang in her ear as she grinned from ear to ear. She can't help it, he was her crush. He was that basketball guy and then the piano guy. She knew him only by his name; after all he is that popular guy in school.
It was love at first sight, when she saw him playing in the court, his moves, his agility and his serious look on his face when he was on court. She fell into dreamland thinking all about him and their very first meeting.
"Namine…Namine!" someone woke her up from her beautiful dream, "You are going to be late if you sleep any longer!"
She just refuses to barge. So in order to be immune from the loud noise, she covered herself with her blanket over her head. She felt like as if she was on a ship which was shaking vigorously. Her covers was tugged and pulled but she just would not wake up. Then her phone on the side desk vibrated.
'Roxas, you are coming for training today right?' it wrote.
"Who is Roxas?" he spoke out loud.
"Sora!!" She jumped out of her bed upon hearing Roxas's name and grabbed the phone from her brother's palms and pushed him out of her room forcefully. Sora's mouth formed an 'O' after thinking for a while.
"Why do you have Roxas's phone?" he placed his hand on her room door, preventing her to close it as he questioned her with a weird frown on his face.
"Just go away!" she pushed him out of her room.
"I thought you said you are not interested in that kind of rich and proud guy!" he shouted outside her room.
That was her older brother, Sora, who never acted like his age. Although he is two years older than her but she was the more talented one in both studies and music, but there was one thing she wasn't good at compared to Sora, sports.
"Namine, now can you tell me why you have Roxas's phone with you?" Sora took away the jar of milk from her hand.
"He dropped it." She replied softly and took a sip from the cup in her hand.
"Oh… and you kept it. Are you planning to return him? Or are you going to blackmail him to fall in love with you?" He teased her again.
"What?!" she almost spit out the milk she just consumed. "I'm returning the phone to him alright!"
"Evil plan…evil plan indeed." He gave an evil laugh, later he took his bag and hung it over his shoulder, "If you don't hurry, I'm not going to fetch you to school!"
"Alright, I'm coming!" She quickly placed the empty cups and plates in the kitchen and dashed out of the house after grabbing her bag at the couch.
