Chapter 4

At The Mall

Riku was sound asleep. There were no classes that day and he just wanted to sleep. It was a long night last night with the whole performance and all.

"RIIIIKKKKUUUU! WAKE UP, DUDE!" Juan shouted. Riku pulled the covers over his head and rolled to his other side so he was now facing the wall. Juan took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and exhaled. "Come on! I want to go to the mall!"

"Can it wait 'till later?" Riku asked, sleepily. Juan grabbed Riku's shoulder and shook him violently.

"Come on, Riku! Aura always goes to the mall on our days off!"

"So?"

"So, maybe you will see her there."

"What does it matter?"

"Don't you like her?"

"As a friend."

"No, no, no, I mean 'like, like'."

"I just met her two days ago and you want me to tell you if you I 'like, like' her?"

"Yes."

"No, I don't."

"Why?"

"I just don't."

"Why?"

"Friends is good enough for me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Really, really?"

"Yes, yes."

"Really, really, really?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Really, re-"

"That's it! We're going to the mall!" Riku shouted as he got out of bed. Juan smiled in victory. He knew that if he kept bugging Riku he would cave in. Riku grabbed his weekend clothes (outfit from KH2), got dressed, grabbed his cell phone and wallet, and the two boys left to go catch a bus.

Once at the mall

"Why are we here again?" Riku asked. Juan turned and looked at his silver haired friend.

"Check it; today the new game store opened, American Eagle is having a HUGE sale, and A LOT of cute girls come to the mall on weekends."

"What are you? A pimp?" Riku asked.

"No," Juan said. "Now let's go!" Juan grabbed Riku's arm and dragged him to the gaming store. Riku stood next to Juan as his friend looked at all of the games with awe. He eventually bought a fighting game (two people can play it (he's going to make Riku play it) and they left the store. Riku was thankful. Then they went to American Eagle, a place that Riku actually liked. They walked into the store and was greeted by a woman. They smiled and walked past her.

"What do you think?" asked a familiar voice.

"I think the light brown is better," said a unfamiliar voice. Riku and Juan walked to the back of the store where the dressing rooms were and they saw Aura and her best friend, Heather. Aura was trying on a new outfit of ripped jeans and a long sleeve white shirt with a blue eagle on the front and it said American Eagle on the left arm.

"Who's that girl?" Riku asked. "I mean, I've seen her in class, but I never heard her name before."

"That's Heather," Juan said. "She is really nice." Heather had auburn hair that was three inches below her shoulders. She also had green-blue eyes. She was wearing blue jeans that were slightly baggy, black flip-flops, and a lavender tank top.

"You think?" Aura asked. "The light brown looks better?"

"Uh-huh," Heather said. "Well, go try it on again."

"Okay," Aura said. She walked back into the dressing room and put the other shirt back on.

"HI HEATHER!" Juan said.

"HI JUAN!" Heather said. Juan grabbed Riku's arm and dragged him over to Heather. "Hey, who is your new friend, Juan?"

"This is Riku," Juan said. Riku shook Heather's hand and she smiled. "He's the newest pianist at our school. He's really good."

"Oh, yeah," Heather said. "Aura told me about you. Anyone who treats my best friend with respect like you is a friend of mine!" She gave Riku a hug and then pushed him aside and looked at Aura.

"See, now that is a nice outfit!" Heather said. "Doesn't she look sexy you guys!"

"Tttttttttooooooooottttttttttaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy," Juan said.

"Heather..." Aura said. "How does it look? That's all I want to know."

"You look nice," Riku said.

"I still think she looks sexy," Juan whispered to Riku. Riku elbowed his friend in the side. Aura smiled and walked back into the changing room to try on the next outfit.

"How about you guys try on some clothes?" Heather asked. "This place has nice stuff."

"That's why I'm here," Riku said. Riku turned and chose a few shirts and a few pairs of jeans, as did Juan. Heather decided to join them. Aura changed into dark blue jeans that were slightly baggy. Her shirt was a cream colored tank top with gold strips (horizontal) on it that were widely spaced from each other. Over that she wore a red, love sleeve, sweater that came down to her mid stomach which was a v-neck. It showed off the rim of the tank. Heather changed into blue jeans, a brown belt, and a green, short sleeve shirt that said "American Eagle" on it in different colors. Riku changed into baggy jeans with a few rips in them. He wore a white short sleeve shirt under a blue, collar shirt which he kept unbuttoned. Juan changed into the same jeans as Riku, but weren't ripped. His shirt was gray with a black guitar on it.

"Hmm, I know," Heather said. She walked over the rack were Riku got his shirt, but grabbed a pick one. She pulled the blue shirt off of Riku and he put the pink one on. "It takes a real man to wear pink!" Aura got her camera out of her purse and asked the woman that worked there to take a picture of the four teens. Aura and Heather stood next to each other, giving each other a hug, with Riku to the left and Juan to the right of the two girls. She snapped the picture and gave the camera back to Aura, putting it back into her purse. They purchased the clothes and walked out of the store.

AT THE FOOD COURT

"Okay, where do you wanna go after we eat?" Juan asked, taking a bight our of his pizza.

"Eh, I wanted to go back to the school," Aura said. "Heather and I were going to watch a movie in my dorm."

"Hey, Riku, then you and I can play the new fighting game I got earlier today!" Juan said.

"Sure, I guess," Riku said. "Sounds like fun."

"Good, 'cause even if you didn't want to play it, I would make you play it with me, dude," Juan said, looking at his silver haired friend.

"And, Riku.." Aura said. "Cedric is really, really mad about the other day, so I won't be able to hang around you in school for a day, two tops. If he was to see me with you, who knows what he'll do to you."

"He'll beat him into a pulp!" Heather said with a smile.

"Is THAT supposed to make me feel better?" Riku asked. "Well, I think Cedric needs to chill out."

"Singing is his life," Aura said with a frown. "I don't think he will ever chill out." They all ate the rest of their food, after Heather changed the subject.

BACK AT THE SCHOOL

"Come on! You said you'd play the game with me!" Juan said.

"Just gimme a sec!" Riku said. "I'm checking me email." Juan plopped himself onto the floor and turned on his PS2.

Riku,

You? Private school? What the-? Your parents didn't even ask you if you wanted to go! That's is just wrong! Sora was right; how are we going to hang out and all that stuff? Hmm...nope. I got nothing. Oh, Sora is at my house right now and he wants to write to you as well. Later;

Kairi

I MISS YOU, RIKU! I WANT YOU TO COME HOME! Okay, yeah, that's what I have to say. Oh, I also want to know about these new friends of yours and about you enemy! How you can have an enemy in a school for musicians I will never know. Bye!

Sora

Riku closed his laptop and smiled a little. Juan grabbed Riku's ankle and pulled him off of his bed.

"Ow!" Riku said when he hit the ground. He looked down and saw Juan holding onto his leg.

"Play now!" Juan shouted.

"God, you're like a kid at Toys R' Us," Riku said. Riku and Juan sat down in front of the TV and started to play. Waiting for dinner hour to come a long.

A/N: Sorry that this took so long, but I've been away, visiting friends, and blah blah blah. I'll try to update faster next time! Please review!
