" He really said that?" I asked shocked.

" Yeah, it came straight from his mouth." Namine said, " Remember, you promised you wouldn't say anything."

" Don't worry I won't. Tomorrow we're going shopping for our dresses ok?"

" Ok, pick me up around noon. I 'll see you then."

I hung up the phone. Namine's words rang through my head. " He said he really liked you, and he just didn't know how to tell you." I couldn't believe it. He really did like me. Now I could tell him at homecoming how I feel. I smiled as I crawled into my bed.

The next morning flew by and before I knew it, I was at the mall. Namine and I were searching through the dresses. I could not find anything that I wanted. I knew I wanted something that would make me beautiful but nothing I tried on did that. I sighed as Namine squealed when she found her dress. It was a gorgeous halter dress with shirred black mesh over a strapless aqua lining. It had black lace wrapped around the waist with a satin ribbon, setting off the full, tea-length skirt. It complimented her figure perfectly. She helped me look through the dresses for one of mine own. She picked out a few a shoved me into a dressing room. I looked through the pile until I found one that caught my eye. I tried it on and found it to be perfect. It was a sheer, gathered mesh trimmed in satin ribbon. It created a handkerchief hemline beneath a ruched bodice. It was strapless and red. It hugged my curves and went wonderfully with my hair. I stepped out of the dressing room and showed Namine. Her eyes sparkled as she walked in circles around me.

" This is defiantly the one." She said as she pushed me back into the dressing room.

I changed back into my clothes and paid for my dress. I never thought last minute shopping would ever turn out this good. I now had three days left until homecoming, and let me tell you, three days seemed like eternity. The days were so slow and boring. I tried to pass the time by forcing myself to not look at the clock. That didn't work though. I think it is physically impossible to not look at a clock. The day of Homecoming finally arrived. I woke up at eight and went over to Namine's house. We planned to do our hair first. When I arrived, she was still snug in her bed. I shook her violently.

" NAMINE, GET UP! WE ONLY HAVE TEN HOURS UNTIL HOMECOMING!"

I watched as she shot out of bed about five feet into the air.

" OH MY GOD KAIRI YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" She screamed with her hand on her chest.

" I'm sorry but we need to get started."

" Ok, do you know what you want to do with your hair?"

" Yeah, I figured an updo, what about you?"

" The same."

" Ok let's get started!"

We worked for hours at our hair. I think I had to wet mine down at least five times. I ended up with a loose updo with curls falling all around. Namine had something similar to mine. We admired ourselves for a few moments until we realized we had twenty minutes to get dressed and finish our make-up.

I smiled as I heard the doorbell chime.

" I'll get it!" Namine's mom called up the stairs, " Girls, the boys are here."

We walked down the stairs to meet the boys. Both of their jaws hit the floor.

" Kairi…look…great…" Sora stuttered out.

" Yeah…great." Roxas added.

" Thanks guys, you look great too." Namine giggled.

" So are you guys ready?"

They nodded their heads and held out their arms. We walked to my car, and headed for the dance. I had to admit it was a little cheap having me drive us to the dance but whatever. The ride was a very interesting one.

" You girls look great." Sora said.

" Yeah you do." Roxas added as he kissed Namine's cheek.

" You guys already said that but thanks." I replied.

I watched as Sora fidgeted with his pants and kept running his hands through his hair. I laughed at the sight. We pulled into the parking lot and walked into the gym. It was glamorous, you would have never guessed it was even a gym. A disco ball was hung out in the middle of the dance floor and underneath it was students dancing wildly. Tables and chairs were set up all around the gym. We searched around and found our friends.

" Hey guys! Wow you all look amazing!" Selphie chimed as we sat down.

" You look good too, do you have a date?" I asked while looking around.

" Of course I do! I'm here with Tidus. He is just getting punch, and rumor had it that it's spiked." She said winking.

" Really?" Roxas asked he looked around for the punch bowl.

" Roxas, don't even think about it. I don't want to drag you home drunk." Namine scolded.

I turned my attention to someone tapping on my shoulder.

" Kairi, do you want to dance?" Sora asked as he offered me his hand.

I took it and followed him to the floor. We danced until our feet hurt. I stopped to take a breath when a slow song began to play. Sora gently placed his hands on my waist. I followed by putting my arms around his neck. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, " You know, you look beautiful tonight."

" Why Sora, are you coming on to me?" I asked teasingly.

" Maybe." He said with a smirk.

I felt my cheeks turn red. I had never seen this side of Sora before. He pulled me a little closer and whispered in my ear again.

"Kairi, why don't we go outside for some air?" He asked as he began to pull me towards the doors.

I followed him in a trance. I figured the expression on my face was enough to tell Namine what was going on. She gave me a thumbs up and returned to dancing with Roxas. Sora found a spot and sat down motioning me to follow. I sat down and waited for him to say something.

" Kairi, I know Namine told you that I like you." He said, " and it's true. I really do like you."

I sat there as he leaned towards me. His lips were just inches away from mine. I felt my stomach jump into my throat. I thought I was going to die. His lips finally met with mine. It was like fireworks had exploded all around me. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him into a deeper kiss. After a while we broke away due to the fact that we needed air. I felt blood creeping it's way into my cheeks. He smiled and pulled into a backbreaking hug.

" Uh Sora, as nice as this is, I think you should loosen your grip." I said.

" I'm sorry." He said as he loosened his grip.

" Does this mean we are dating?"

" Well I assume so unless you go around kissing just any guy."

I laughed as he placed his chin on my head. I had never realized that he was so much taller than I was. We headed back into the dance but were cut off by Nyah.

" Hey Sora! You look nice. Kairi you wouldn't mind if I stole your date for a dance would you?" She asked innocently.

Sora just looked at me. I didn't really know what to say. I had never had a say in anything that involved Sora and girls. I just nodded my head and watched as Nyah pulled him onto the dance floor. I went back to the table to find a tipsy Selphie.

" Um, Selphie are you ok?" I asked as she swayed back and forth.

" I am GREAT! How about your selfffffff? Where is Mr. Sora?" She slurred out.

" He is dancing with Nyah. I don't think you should have anymore punch."

" Uh oh, he's with Nyah? That's not a very spectacular thing…BURP…excuse me."

" Why not, it's just a dance."

" You don't know do you?"

" Know what?"

" I guess not."

" KNOW WHAT?"

" Sora and Nyah slept together. She was his first…BURP…hehe…excuse me."

I sat there and looked at Selphie. Was she saying this because she was smashed or just because it was true? I turned to a shocked Tidus and asked him if it was true.

" I…Kai, don't ask me. You know it's not my place to say anything." He said.

" Tidus, tell me the truth." I said sternly.

" The truth about what?" Sora asked as he sat down next to me.

" Nothing." I said quickly.

" Kairi, don't lie. Sora, she is mad at you for sleeping with Nyah." Selphie giggled out.

Sora looked shocked. He turned to me to say something but closed his mouth. This told me it was true. I stood up and walked away. As soon as I got out of the gym I ran to my car but was stopped by Sora.

" Kairi, I'm sorry." He said softly.

" Sorry? Sorry for not mentioning you slept with Nyah? Yeah, it would have been nice if you mentioned it." I screamed at him.

" Kairi, it's not a big deal. One person isn't going to matter."

" No, it matters to me. Everyone knew about this except for me! I thought I was your best friend."

" Kairi, I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to hurt your feelings."

" Well, it's too late for that. Believe it's way to late for that."

" Kairi, just…please…I'm sorry. Please let's just start off fresh, like me and Nyah never happened."

" Sora, you can pretend all you want but if you look in the dictionary Pretend is the antonym for reality."

" Kai, that's harsh."

" Well deal with it."

I got into my car but Sora got in too.

" What are you doing?" I asked harshly.

" I'm going where ever you go." He replied.

" No you are not."

" Yes I am."

" SORA!"

" KAIRI!"

He pulled me into a bruising kiss. I tried to push him back but it was useless. I wanted to say that I didn't enjoy the kiss, but that would be lying. I tried to control my self, but that was a failed plan. He pulled me closer, which was uncomfortable due to my gearshift. I pulled away finally to see him smiling.

" This doesn't make it ok." I stated.

" I know, I'll make it up to you I promise." He replied smoothly.

" How is that?"

" I'll seduce you and turn you into my slave of love."

" Yeah not going to happen but nice try."

" Can't blame a guy for trying."

Suddenly Namine opened the car door with tears streaming down her porcelain skin.

" Namine, what happened?" I asked concerned.

" Roxas broke up with me!" She wailed.

I noticed Roxas running in this direction. As he got closer, I noticed he had a bloody lip and a black eye. I wasn't prepared for the drama that was coming my way. The next three hours were hell on earth.

A/N: Yep, that's chapter four. I am going to stop updating because I am determined to get AT LEAST ten reviews! Then maybe I'll think about updating. Lol.
