Sorry, I don't mean to take so long, but I live in a house with four girls. Somebody always needs a computer for something.
Anyways, on with the show! (Or story in this case.)
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Beep! Beep! Beep!
I slammed my hand down on the poor alarm, hitting the snooze button. I groaned, looking over at the time. I looked over at it, and groaned. I didn't wanna leave my warm comfy bed to travel out into the world today. I sighed and threw the covers off.
Looking in the mirror, I brushed my hair, glaring at myself all the while. I still couldn't get the rid of the feeling I was missing something, or that there was something I had forgotten. I sat the hair brush down and started going through my closet, trying to distract myself. I found another pair of skinny jeans, and threw on a band tee. I found a pair of mismatched socks, and put on my converse.
I did a quick mirror check and left my room, heading down to the kitchen. I wasn't hungry, so I just grabbed my bag and headed to the bus stop. I dug my Ipod out, and put it on shuffle, stopping on a song by William Fitzsimmons. I listened to the low melodies, and let my mind wonder. I found myself thinking about Sora. His laugh, his eyes. How could I feel so comfortable around him? I had only met him two days ago. I had only said a handful of sentences in front of him. It didn't make any sense.
The bus pulled up, and once again Daniel is running down the road at the last possible moment. I roll my eyes, and sit in an empty seat. Again no one sits with me.
We eventually pulled into the high school. I cut off my Ipod and stuffed it into my bag as I walked into the cafeteria. I walked over to the table from yesterday, but it was empty. I sat down anyways, and pulled out a book.
I only had read maybe half a page before the room went dark. Someone had covered my eyes with their hands. And I had a really good idea who.
"Jake. What are you doing?"
He removed his hands.
"How do you always know its me?" He pulled out the chair beside me and sat down.
I laughed. " Cause it's always you." I closed my book and put it on the table.
"Okay, be that as it may, I actually had something I wanted to talk to you about."
"Oh, and what is that?" I asked, thinking he wanted advice about his relationship or something.
He took a deep breath, looking uncomfortable. "I saw how you were looking at Sora yesterday. And I was just curious what that was about."
I felt my jaw drop."Um... I honestly don't know what your talking about. I didn't think I was looking any specific way," I denied it.
He raised an eyebrow. "Uh, huh. Yeah, sure. Look, if you don't want to talk about it right now, I've got a bit of advice for you. I like him and all, but not for you. He's too old and too experienced for that matter. I just don't want to see you get hurt. You deserve the best this world has to offer, and I want that for you. So be careful. And try not to give me a heart attack, okay? He stood and kissed my forehead.
"I love you, girl. I'm here if you need for me."
With that he walked away, and my jaw refused to worked. I just stared as Jake sat down at the table, soon joined by Sora, and his group of friends.
I sighed and looked at my book. No way I was gonna be able to pick it back up. So I stashed it in my bag as Rikku sat down in front of me.
"Good morning." She said looking cheerful as always.
"Morning. How were your first two days of school?" I asked.
"So boring. I had like eight cups of coffee. I was sent to the office like eight times," she laughed.
Rikku's coffee slurges usually ended in near decapitation. She didn't do it on purpose, she just tended to get so hyper and ADHD, that objects tend to start flying, and no one knows whats gonna happen.
I laughed at her. "Yeah, I see that happening. And it was probably for the best too."
She took a moment to glare at me, then smiled. "Yeah that is true."
I shook my head, then jumping to hear Sandy yell at us from across the room. She waved her arms over her head while running over.
She tripped over her foot in the process, and caught herself on the edge of the table. Rikku and I burst out in laughter.
"When are you gonna get your land legs?" I asked her.
Sandy had spent most of her life on her father's fishing boat.
"Shut it."
"You love me, just admit it." I shrugged.
"So not the point." She glared at me. "Besides, your lucky I love you. Otherwise you would be dead. Just saying."
I pretended to look scared. "Ohhh, look who's scary now."
Rikku giggled at our exchange.
"Okay, more important matters. That new guy-"
Rikku got cut off by the bell. Time for Physical Science.
"We'll talk about it tonight. You guys should come over after school." I suggested. I hadn't had any girl time in a while.
They both agreed, and we parted for first period.
I walked to my class, and settled into my seat in the back row. Mai came in just as the bell was ringing.
"Hey girl," she said sitting down in front of me.
"Hey," I said.
She then rambled on about her new boyfriend and how amazing he was. As all girls do at the beginning of a new relationship. I saw the relationship ending with the week when she got bored with him.
"Class settle down and pull out your textbooks please."
I pulled out my book, along with some blank computer paper, and started to doodle while she was lecturing.
I was suprised to hear the bell ring, ending that class period. In front of me where 3 peices of paper filled with completely random figures.
I sighed. Well I know what I'm gonna be doing the whole year.
The next class period, and Club 1 went by in much the same manner. Soon I was walking into the class I shared with Sora. I sat in the same seat as before, and put my bag on the table, pretending to look for something, all the while, glancing up at the door.
He walked in just as the bell was ringing, blue eyes shining, a smile gracing his lips. I looked down quickly and sat my bag on the floor.
Sora sat down in front of me and smiled. "Hey."
"Hi" I said shyly.
"Why do you do that?"
"Do what?" I asked confused.
He shrugged. "Be all barbs and sarcasm one moment, especially when your with Jake, and so shy the next moment, I need a hearing aid to hear your words."
"Maybe I have a multiable personalities disorder." I said as nonchalantly as I could.
He laughed, and I was captivated.
"That is always a possiblitly. Maybe you should have it checked out." He said.
"But that would take all the fun out of it." I laughed.
He opened his mouth to say something else, but Ms. Stokes was standing in front the room, "Alright, today we will have another free day, mostly because I'm still getting everything prepped for your first project. Next class, the real fun begins. But for today, at least pretend to be drawing something."
I just stared. This woman was crazy.
"Wow." I said.
"I'm gonna like this class," he laughed.
I pulled out some paper and a pencil. Not looking at him, I asked, "so what made you move here?"
"My family moved here from Traverse Town. The hurricane pretty much destroyed everything. I'm just glad they got everyone to safety while they could," he explained.
I stared at him. "Oh, ummm." I was speechless. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear. "I'm sorry..."
He looked me in the eye. "Don't worry about it. I didn't lose anything important to me. I'm lucky to still have my family and my own life. Nothing else matters."
I nodded. I still didn't know what to say to him.
"I think we should get away from such depressing conversation."
I nodded again.
"So The Beatles." He pointed to my shirt.
I grinned. "The Beatles. That's all that needs to be said."
He smiled. "Yeah, they're pretty legit. My favorite song by them is 'Let it Be'."
My jaw dropped, then I gave a bright smile. "Mine too. No joke."
We both grinned in disbelief. We continued to talk, both asking questions about music, and video games, finding that we had alot of things in common.
Eventually the bell for lunch rang, and today instead of rushing out of the classroom, he walked with me. We had been in line for a couple of minutes when Cloud spotted us.
"Hey Kairi!" He hugged me.
"Hey, what are you up to?" I asked.
"Just hanging out, chatting up the girls." He laughed.
He pointed with his eyes towards Sora.
"Oh yeah!" I exclaimed, " Cloud this is Sora, Sora, Cloud."
They shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.
We went through the line as a group, but parted at the register. Sora went and sat with the girls from the other day.
I sighed, and Cloud looked at me.
"I don't like him."
I looked at him in suprise. "What? Why?"
"He's gonna hurt you one day." He said cyrptically.
Why did people keep assuming I was interested in him? Was I really such an open book?
"Where in the hell did that come from?" I asked.
He raised one eyebrow. "I see the way you look at him."
What the hell?
" I'm so sick of people saying that. I don't look at him in any specific way."
I sat down at our table, and stared at whatever in the hell they were serving today. It was some kind of chicken and rice jello concoction. "Ew." I poked it with my fork.
"Well don't say I didn't warn you."
I glared at him. "Shut up."
He shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject. " Would you rather go to the canteen, cause I don't think even a goat would eat this mess."
I nodded. "Yeah, this is... I don't even know what to say about it." I poked the glob again. " I'm kinda afraid if I try to eat it, it might try to eat me." We laughed, and threw our food away and put our trays up.
We ended up getting 4 bags of chips, some powdered doughnuts, a couple packs of cookies and some sodas. We took our hoard and sat down in corner and snacked and talked until the bell rang. We divided up what was left, and he walked me to class.
"I'll see you later." I hugged him and went inside. Sora was already sitting down, and I took my seat across from him.
He didn't say anything, or even look at me for that matter.
Feeling kinda crushed, I took out a piece of paper and started drawing, trying not to look at him.
We didn't speak again for the rest of the class period, and when the bell rang again he rushed out of the room. I stared after him, confused. I grabbed my things and went to my next class.
I just sat down, and pretended to pay attention, but really my mind was on Sora. Trying to figure what to could possibly have changed after just thirty short minutes. Wallowing in my own self pity, the bell rang and I went to meet Rikki and Sandy. I could definitely use some girl time.
