A pair of green-coloured eyes shrunk into a glare as the image of the red-haired girl and the brunet boy burned into his eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest, a foot of his on the wall, and his silver-hued hair shined as if sunlight were hitting it all the time.

"That doesn't make sense." he mumbled to himself as people passing him ignored him. "Not one bit."

He then kicked himself off the wall, and proceeded to class. If he were right, he'd have the same class as the brunet boy.

And Kairi was SURE not in that class.

--

"I'm in the class nearby, so we could walk later, alright, Sora?" Kairi asked, pointing over to another room nearby.
He nodded in approval, "But are you sure that this isn't troubling you? I mean, it's not fair of me to take advantage of your kindness,"
Kairi giggled, "Oh, Sora, you're a new kid. I can't just leave you in the dust like that! I've gotta help you." she told him.

And just by your looks, girl, you're taking advantage of ALL of me, Kairi added silently with a glint in her eyes.

"O-Okay, Kairi." he was defeated, "I'll see you later then..."

Merrily, she nodded, a smile on her face. "Alright! See ya!"

The brunet boy turned around as he eyed the classroom with slight nervousness. His cerulean eyes darted around for the teacher as he entered, but all he got a a pair of cold, emerald eyes, staring daggers into Sora's eyes. He gulped.

He doesn't seem too friendly, avoid at all costs, Sora biased to himself as he looked away to find the teacher.

"Hey, you new here?" a somewhat cold voice; deep and masculine, but it held a sense of curiosity and concern.
Sora's blue eyes met with the same pair that biased this kid before, and gulped. "Yeah." he mumbled to him in reply. Gosh, where is the teacher, I REALLY need to get away from this guy, Sora panicked silently in his mind.

"Oh. Well, you better get yourself a seat, buddy," the boy continued, "They fill up quick this period."

The brunet's head nodded in agreement; I can see that, Sora reasoned in his mind. But, in reality, he said, "Uhmm...thanks for the tip..."

Emerald eyes shrunk into a smirk as he realized the blue-eyed brunet boy was left hanging. He doesn't know what to call me, he mused with himself. The boy then stuck out a hand, "Call me Riku."

Sora grasped onto Riku's semi-chilly hand lightly, then shook it. His eyes locked into Riku's green-coloured eyes, "Sora." he smiled lightly at the taller, silver-haired Riku. His sheepish smirk then became a wide smile as he felt the firm grip of his new friend. I finally feel confortable around this guy, he said to himself, maybe's he's not is bad afterall.

"Hey, Sora," Riku addressed the boy, pointing towards the front of the room, "the teacher's here. I think you should go check with him."

His ocean-blue eyes widened as the sight of the first adult in the room registered in his mind, "Oh, thanks, Riku!" he said gleefully, then, he turned around to greet the teacher, and introduce himself. The typical "New-kid" kind of things.

No problem, Riku mumbled in his mind as he stared at the boy, wouldn't wanna get caught up in this whirwind of a school, would you, Sora?

His hair was quickly brushed back as he made his way to the back of the classroom, where his assigned seat was positioned.

--

"Hey, Sora!" the chesnut-haired boy whirled around at the sound of his name, as that familiar voice rang suddenly, "Over here!"
"Kairi!" he directly addressed as he told Riku, "I'll be back, Riku."
She smiled at the boy, with her wide, affectionate smile, "How was the class? Learn anything new?"

He shook his head in reply, "Not really. Just the teacher." he mused as he heard Kairi giggle quietly. "And some new friends."

"Oh, new friends?" she asked, with curiosity, "I wonder who they could be. So, tell me, Sora, who are they?"
"Well," he began to ponder about the new faces, "There was this really nice guy named Riku in that class, and some girl-"

"Riku?" The red-haired girl mimicked, "You mean, the silver-haired one, green eyes, kinda reminds of of a wolf?"

Sora's head bobbed up and down, as his spikes still remained upright. "Yeah, him, " he replied, staring at his schedule. "He was really nice to me, he even showed me where my next class was for me."
"Oh..." Kairi then continued, "Well, I'm glad you made new friends!" she cheered. "So, what's next, Sora?"

"Room...twenty-six. Gosh, these are just really far apart." he muttered with unenthusiasm. "What do you have?"
"I don't have a class anywhere near yours." she answered, with dismay and almost a reluctance, "You know where to go, right?"
The brunet nodded, a grin on his face, "Don't worry, Kairi. I've got Riku in that class, too."
She chuckled slightly, "Yeah. I guess he could point you in the right direction." she mumbled, "Just make sure he doesn't rape you."

"What was that, Kairi? 'Rape'?"
"Oh, nothing!" she laughed with nervousness, "Did I say that? I think I said something like 'Don't get lost'."
"But that sounded nothing like-"
"Oh, crap!" the red-haired Kairi mumbled under her breath, "I've gotta get to class! Don't want a tardy slip now. You should go get going."

"Uhmm...alright, then, Kairi." he waved, a timid smile on his face, "I'll see you another time."
"Yeah, I guess." she replied quietly, not sure if the brunet caught her remark. "See ya soon, Sora!"

And she turned around, with a frown on her face. There's not WAY I'm letting Riku steal this girl, Kairi uttered angrily in her mind. He can have all my other ex-girlfriends for all I care, but he's not getting this one. Oh, no, no, sir, he is NOT.

Kairi then ran to class, with a troubled look on her face.

Yes, I know. This was somewhat late, but I don't have THAT much of a legitimate excuse for such an action. Sorry. I'm kinda sick right now, coughing and stuffy nose, and OH! Woulddya look at that, my eye's PINK!

I'm probably not infected with "pink eye", the disease, probably just an annoying irritation, because I DID have a Spring concert (5/20/08/) a while ago. LAWL. Oh, gawd, I swear, I lost like ten pounds running around, trying to get where I'm supposed to be in time! D:

It was REALLY troubling. Gosh, 'specially when you're playing Clarinet and the Bass Clarinet, plus your music, gosh, that's a LOT to carry around.

D:

Oh well, I hope you guys like this chapter. It's kinda introducing Riku, and how he's affecting Sora and stuff. You'll see he plays a major role in Sora and Kairi's relationship in this story (for some people, I MIGHT'VE accidentally spilled the beans. So, if you know, STFU. It's not fair to the other kids I was actually paying attention to.

LAWL. I'm joking. I'm just kinda stupid, so some people were lucky enough to actually hear/read those from me.)

:D Gotta go now, (The enigmatic eCZi exsists, excluding herself as an egg...May 20, 2008.)
