I'd planned to meet up with Riku the next day. We were going to go to the cinema after school. it should be fun, maybe he'll help me get my mind off of Sora. Because he is sweet, and he's smart, and he makes me laugh too. Maybe being with another guy is exactly what I need right now.

I woke up early today and started getting ready for school, making sure I wouldn't be late again. I shouted goodbye to my mum and walked round to Sora's.

I met him outside his house at 8:40 and we made our way to school together.

The whole journey we hardly said anything to each-other, except from Sora asking if i was ok. I just replied "I'm fine." and carried on walking.
How could he not tell that I was upset? Boys are so oblivious to a girls feelings. This was a time when I really needed a girl to talk to. A girl would understand.

But instead I was walking with Sora. Irresistible, beautiful, heartbreaker Sora. What am I thinking? He's probably got a thing for Alice now. So I have to move on. I HAVE to. He's my best friend, and nothing more. I can't risk breaking our friendship. I would rather keep Sora as a friend and have him never love me, than not have him at all.

Just as we were approaching school Sora broke the awkward silence.
"So are you up to much after school then?"

Should I tell him about Riku? Why not? He's my best friend, so I should tell him everything, right?

"Yeah, actually, me and Riku are going to go to the cinema together," I smiled at him and then faced forward, trying to ignore the confused look he gave me.

"Riku from maths? Come on, you can do better than that!" he punched my arm lightly and winked at me. I showed no emotion on my face. I sighed deeply before facing him.

"Really, Sora? Do you think I could ACTUALLY do better? Because I doubt many people would agree with you." I turned away angrily and walked through the school gates. I didn't turn to see where Sora had gone, but I didn't hear his voice call after me.

I felt upset that I had snapped at Sora, we never argued or even shouted at each-other. What a mess. My feelings were sending me over the edge. If I wasn't careful, I'd lose my best friend.

At lunch I chatted to Larxene, Olette, Selphie and Namine.
Selphie told us about how Tidus's parents seemed to really like her. Her brown eyes sparkled as she excitably told us about it.

"His mum was so nice to me! She said I was free to go over there whenever I wanted! I was so relieved!" she beamed from ear to ear. she turned and looked at me.

"So did you guys have fun at Soras?" She asked me. I told them about Alice coming over and how Sora flirted with her basically the whole evening.

"Alice? Seriously? God, I sit by her in Science and shes so annoying!" Larxene shouted. we all tried to make her quiet down, but we all ended up laughing because we knew it was true.

"Hmm, speak of the devil, here she comes now." Namine looked subtly in Alice's direction. Alice sauntered over to us, and in a shrill voice said:
"Hi gurlies! Have you seen Sora around?" she grinned at us as if we were some of her best of friends.

"Umm, nope. I think the boys are all off somewhere doing something," Olette said vaguely, returned Alice's smile and looked at me, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, ok. Well if you see him, tell him I'm looking for him. Bye!" Alice gave us a small wave before flicking her hair and walking away. I felt jealousy all over again. What, were they seeing eachother now or something?

"Yea, ok then." Namine widened her eyes and laughed. "So Kairi, what's this we hear about your little date with Riku tonight?" Selphie winked and grinned at me.

"Aww guys, its not a date. But Riku's really sweet and I think we're going to have a great time."
I smiled and they all raised their eyebrows at eachother.

"COME ON! Kairi it's a date, admit it." Larxene smiled at me.

"Talking about that Riku again? Pffft, Kairi has more sense than that. Riku's a dork! It's not a date, right J?" I turned to my right to see that Sora had arrived and had sat himself down beside me. Why was Sora acting like this? So he is allowed to flirt with anyone he likes, but I can't go out with someone without his approval? I suddenly changed my tone as raised my head and looked Sora in the eye.

"Actually, I think it is a date. I really like Riku, and he's really sweet to me. He likes me anyway. So what's wrong with giving it a shot?" I smiled and looked back at the girls. Who all grinned at me.

"What?" Sora laughed, "Are you serious? Your gorgeous, you could get anyone!" he shouted at me. I was taken aback. Whats up with him? I was suddenly getting all choked up. I looked past Sora and noticed Alice almost charging across the room to see him.

I knew that I now had to leave. I looked back at Sora, feeling tears of anger and jealously well up in my eyes.

"Really Sora? I could get anyone? Well guess what? That's a lie, because I can't get you!" I stood up and began to storm out of the room. Everyone had gone completely silent. Roxas, Axel and Tidus were just entering the room.

"Hey, Kairi. What's up?" Roxas looked at me worriedly.

"It nothing, honestly. I, I have to go." I pushed past them and headed straight for the girls toilets.

I realised what I had done. Now Sora would know. He'd know I love him and our friendship will be ruined. A tear began to roll down my cheek. How could I have been so stupid?
