Location: Destiny High (Couldn't think of a high school. :p)

It's three ten and Kairi noticed her classmate Hayner walking from the building. She slowly walked toward him, then waving when he saw her.

"Hi" she said freely. Hayner merely glanced at her and continued to walk.

"Hayner!" she spoke.

"What?" he said.

"Um. . . do you like it here?"

"What do you want Kairi?" he said walking a little faster. Hayner was known by his old friends to have a short temper. He wasn't very fond of people and kept to himself. She suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted him around.

"Listen! Do you know who I am? Nobody walks away from me!"

"Fine you little brat! What do you want my number or something? Jesus, I'm trying to walk home and you won't shut the hell up!" he said snatching his arm away.

"I . . .saw you in class and . . .no one wanted to sit with you. I thought everyone was against you. Sorry I bothered, you just remind me of my old friend" she said lowing her head. Hayner began to feel some remorse.

". . . .You want to . . . . talk about it?" he said.

". . .o. ..ok" she said lifting her head up. As they began to walk, she grabbed his hand. He closed his eyes shook his head as she smiled at him.

"Don't push it Red" he said referring to her hair. He moved his hand away but she grabbed it again. She giggled and moved a little closer to him. Hayner sighed and allowed the action.

Meanwhile . . . .

Location: Sora's House

Sora hadn't gone to school that day or the previous because he overslept. He was still asleep until a light tapping at his door awoke him.

"Sora? Tidus is here" said the sweet voice of Sora's mother.

"Tell him to come on up mom" he said while stretching. He slept in the middle of a tidy, compact room. The carpet on his floor emitting the sweet aroma of Febreze, he sits up and breathes it in, his hair mashed against his head. He noticed he was still in his jumper, his shoes placed next to each other under his bed and jacket on the arm of his chair.

"That's right, I slept with Tidus on the beach. He had to carry me home again." he said to himself. He heard someone knocking on the door. "Come in" said Sora. It was Tidus who slowly pushed the door open and then closed as he entered.

"Hey Tidus."

"Hey Sora" he said as he sat on the bed. "You know I had to carry your ass home last night, right?" said Tidus with a laugh. Sora laughed as well while he moved next to his best friend.

"Hehe, but I knew you wouldn't mind" said Sora.

"Yeah ok, just don't get so comfortable on me from now on. I could have gotten in trouble if your mom caught me"

"Ok, sorry Tidus. I won't do it again" said Sora rolling his eyes.

"Don't antagonize me Sora, I'll leave your but there next time" said Tidus.

Sora giggled and leaned against Tidus. The two were silent for a while until Tidus started fixing Sora's mashed hair. They looked at each other passionately, until Tidus spoke.

"Hey, you didn't see the new kid yet have you?" said Tidus.

"Uh . . . I don't know. What's the name?" said Sora.

"I'm not sure, but it's a guy,I took a picture of him though" said Tidus taking out his phone.

"Ohh, let me see!" said a excited Sora. He took the phone from his friend and laid his head on his lap. He began browsing the pictures on the phone, including the one of him and Tidus sleeping in his bed that Kairi had taken. Tidus peeked his head down and looked as well. He looked at Sora and they began laughing. Tidus leaned back on his arms and looked at the ceiling. Sora went on through the pictures until he stopped again. He looked at the picture in slight shock, his eyes widening. It was the boy that no one wanted to forget. The boy who taut him everything he knew about anything. His best friend from so many years ago. . .

"Riku . . ." whispered Sora. Tidus looked at the picture and then at Sora.

"I miss him Tidus"

"I miss him too" he said rubbing Sora's hair. "We'll see him again someday."

"You mean it?"

"Of corse" said Tidus. Suddenly the phone began to ring, it was Wakka. Sora pressed the talk button and put the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sora, Where's Tidus?" said Wakka while someone giggled in the background.

"Here, it's Wakka" said Sora handing the phone to Tidus.

"Hey Wakka, what's up? (Pause) Really?! Wow, I'll be there in half a minute!" said Tidus hanging up the phone. "No need for the picture, the new kid is with Kairi by the pier right now!" said Tidus.

What?!!? No! He can't be with Kairi. It's not gonna happen! Sora thought to himself. He was in love with Kairi, or so he thought. She wasn't interested in Sora because she thought he and Tidus were "to close of friends." Sora remained silent as he and Tidus left the house to go to the pier.

As Sora and Tidus arrived at the bushes behind the pier, they saw Wakka and Selpie quietly spying on their friend.

"Okay, what's happening Wakka?" said Tidus as he knelt down beside his friend.

"Why don't you check for yourself, ya?" said Wakka slightly pulling the bush back. Tidus leaned in, peeking through the bush at Kairi. Sora sat with Selpie, frustrated he couldn't see. Selpie happily pissed him off more by talking. Tidus looked at the pier and saw Kairi and Hayner sitting next to each other, they had some food and were talking.

"So where did you come from?" Kairi asked, flipping her hair out of her face. Hayner looked strait ahead, taking a sip from his drink.

". . . Twilight Town."

"Any particular reason why you moved here?" she said.

". . . . well, there was someone I once knew. My best friend. One day, that someone was gone, without a trace. I came here because a friend told me it was where I should start looking. We were in love . . . that's why" said Hayner looking at the girl.

"Wow. I hope you find her . . . or him" she giggled. He laughed with her sipped his drink again.

"Your cute, Red" he said.

"Your not bad yourself tough guy" she said grinning. Hayner liked his lips and looked away.

Tidus moved away from the bush and looked at Sora.

"What happened man?" said Wakka.

"There just . . . talking" said Tidus.

"Yeah I'll bet said Sora. Let me see" said Sora shoving Wakka out of the way. He leaned in a looked at Kairi. What he saw made his ears squeak. He couldn't see the male, but he could see Kairi laying in the fold of Hayner's arm.

"Son ofa BITCH!" screamed Sora as he ran out of the bushes. He began to walk toward them, he could hear the whispers of Tidus and the others telling him to to come back. He ignored them and continued his pursuit. As he got closer he spoke with pride.

"Hey Kairi?" he said. Kairi and Hayner both turned their heads and looked at Sora. Before Sora could speak, his eyes met Hayner's, who was staring at him. Sora began to do the same.

"You . . . . it's you" said Sora slowly raising a finger.

"I finally found you. It's been far too long" said Hayner.

"No . . . .not you" said Sora.

"All the time I've wasted being angry with you. You were still around" said Hayner.

"Why are you here?" said Sora sobbing lowly.

". . . .because. I've been searching for you for a while now" Hayner said as Kairi moved away. He stood up and walked toward Sora. "I had to make myself come to grips with the truth" he said approaching Sora and grabbing him by his arms.

"I love you, Roxas" he said before kissing Sora passionately. A gasp could be heard from every mouth, except one. Tidus, who was more than shocked, he was destroyed. Tears formed in his eyes as he clinched his teeth. He whimpered as he stomped away to the secret place.
