Chapter 4- Sora: A normal school day? I think not.

.Sora's POV.

"Oh, when did you remember?" Cloud asked his hand to his mouth.

"When Luxord was hurting me and when Riku came to save me." I answered. I was beginning to think that I might have a crush on Riku. It was quite possible. He was hott, and sexy, and, and… I let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Cloud asked.

"Nothing." I responded smiling brightly.

"No, I can tell something is wrong." Leon said.

"Fine… I think I have a crush on Riku. I want to look good tomorrow at school, but I don't have any nice clothes, or cute clothes for that matter." I said letting another long tired sigh pass through my lips. Cloud looked to Leon who shrugged his shoulders and went back to reading some book he had.

"We can help with that! Me and you can go on a shopping trip. You need some really sexy clothes to impress him. Except, with him saving you and all I don't think you need to worry about your clothes." Cloud said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It means we think he already likes you." Leon said, not taking his eyes off of the book he was reading. I just blushed and tried to cover my face with my hands. Cloud laughed. He grabbed his wallet and keys and turned back to me.

"Ready to go?" He asked. I got up out of my chair and followed him to the car. The drive to the mall was a quiet one, but when we got there it was all talk from Cloud,

"What style were you thinking about? You could be an emo, or goth person. Or you could be the bubbly type that is always happy." He said.

"I think I'll go for the goth-bubbly mix." I answered looking at all the different stores. Cloud then pulled me into a store called hot topic.

"Pick out what ever you want." He said. I was so excited. I ran around looking at all of the different clothes. I pulled several things off the shelf. I had all sorts of clothes. I had some tight fitting tees and some with sayings on them. After we were done at hot topic we went to vans for shoes. I bought four pairs of vans, a black pair, a brown pair, a navy blue pair, and a white pair. Then we went to radio shack for electronics. Cloud bought me a 4 gigabyte Ipod nano 2nd generation, a new laptop, and a PS2 with some games. After shopping there we decided to go home. I carried 5 of the 10 bags we had of new things for me. It was a great shopping experience.

"What you get?" Leon asked once we had everything inside.

"A lot… I don't even know…" I said. Cloud laughed as Leon chuckled.

"So what outfit are you wearing tomorrow?" Leon asked.

"Ummm… I'll have to try some on and then decide." I answered picking up my bags and heading for my room. I went in and started to try on a pair of black baggy trip pants from hot topic. Once they were on I decided to try on the tight lime green tee shirt with black lettering that said 'Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them'. I put on some lime green and black wrist bands and I knew that was what I was going to wear tomorrow. As of right now though I was tired. So once again I changed and went to bed dreaming of Riku and his shocked face when he sees me tomorrow.

When I woke up it was 6 am. I groaned and went into the bathroom and turned on the shower taps. I waited for it to turn warm before jumping in and cleaning off. When I got out I wrapped a towel around myself and found a hairdryer. I then proceeded to dry my hair. It takes awhile to dry it completely so I only dry it most of the way before heading into my room to get dressed. I pulled on boxers followed by my pants. Then I slipped on my shirt. After that I put on my black and green wrist bands and grabbed my socks and black vans before I went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"You look good this morning." Cloud complimented.

"Thanks Cloud." I replied back sitting down so I could pull on my sock and tie my shoes. Then I turned to the table so I could eat some breakfast. Cloud had made eggs over easy, with toast, and sausages. I poured all three of us some milk and we all sat down for breakfast.

"Sora, I want you to catch a ride with Riku after school to the ice rink we have a meeting to go to and you have ice lessons. So grab a pair of sweats or something and throw them in your school bag. Okay?" Leon asked.

"Sure thing Leon." I answered around a mouthful of food.

"Sora don't talk with your mouth full." Cloud scolded, smiling.

"Sorry cloud." I said smiling back.

"Alright, one of the kids your age in the neighborhood agreed to walk to school with you, her name is Yuffie so you have fun and be careful at school, okay?" Cloud said handing me my backpack and shoving me out the door.

"Okay, Bye Cloud! Bye Leon!" I yelled to them. They both replied with a simple 'bye'. I started walking when I was mauled by a girl with short black hair and a band of fabric around her forehead.

"Hey! You must be the new kid! You must be Sora!" She said smiling happily. I nodded.

"And you must be Yuffie." I said.

"That's right!" She said throwing her arm around my shoulder.

"We have all the same classes so I can show you where to go and who to avoid." She said laughing.

"I'm glad that I already know someone that will be in my classes!" I said placing my hand on my heart in relief. Before I knew it we were at the high school. I suddenly got very nervous of seeing Riku again. My palms started sweating. Yuffie and I walked in the doors and she pointed out my locker and the offices and all the other places I need to know. Her locker was to the right of mine. And guess who's was to the left. Yes none other than Riku.

"Sora!" He called to me, "You look great today. I guess were locker buddies." He said smirking as I blushed. I opened my locker and threw in my book bag. I grabbed out my notebook for science, a pencil, and a pen. Riku watched me do it and then turned back to the group around his locker. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. He was hanging with a girl with blonde hair that was in all sorts of braids, a girl with short brown hair, a girl that had silverish, gray hair, a boy with blonde kinda spiky hair, and a guy with red hair. "Alright guys we can go to class now!" He said looking back to me he leaned down and whispered, "Bye Sora, see ya at lunch."

I merely waved my hand to him. Yuffie watched in amusement as I blushed like mad when he whispered to me. When he walked away and we started walking to our class she started teasing me.

"Sora's got a crush!" She basically sang.

"Shhh!" I hissed, "I don't want anyone to know!" I said.

"It's hard NOT to know the way you blush around him!" Yuffie said back.

"Oh shut up…"I said blushing again. When we arrived at class she showed me the group she sat with.

"Alright, the blonde one is Roxas, The Brown haired one is Selphie, the red haired one is Kairi, the other blonde is Hayner, and the other brunette is Pence." She said. They all acknowledged my existence some how. I gave them all a small wave.

"Hi…" I said. Kairi and Selphie smiled big.

"He's adorable!" Kairi said. Roxas, Hayner, and Pence waved me over to sit next to them.

"You're Sora aren't you?" Roxas asked.

"Yes…" I answered.

"Nice to meet you Sora! I'm Pence!" Pence said smiling at me

"I'm Hayner." Hayner said.

"And, I'm Roxas. Don't worry about what Kairi says. She can be kind of weird, sometimes." Roxas said.

"Cannot!" Kairi squawked hitting Roxas on the arm playfully.

"You can too! Don't deny it! We all are." Selphie said. I smiled at all of them.

"What period is lunch?" I asked.

"We have lunch 5th period. Why? Can't you wait to see Riku?" Yuffie said.

I blushed and spoke, "I just wanted to know when it was so I didn't mix up my schedule." I said. Yuffie rolled her eye at me.

"Yeah right." She said stilling smiling ear to ear.

"Does Sora have a crush on Riku? Like senior class Riku? Like most popular kid in school Riku?" Kairi asked.

"Yes he does and he won't admit it." Yuffie said. I blushed more.

"No. I'm just catching a ride with him after school." I lied making a cover up story.

"Sure you are…" Yuffie said right as the teacher entered.

"All right class, We have a new student today. His name is Sora Leonhart. Let's make him feel welcome here." A young woman with long black hair told them.

"Miss Tifa?" One kid asked.

"Yes, Seifer?" She answered.

"Why would we want to make him welcome?" He asked smirking. Tifa glared at the older boy.

"Because you will get a detention if you don't." She answered back. The smirk on Seifer's face was gone quickly. My smile went to a frown very quickly. Roxas noticed this and turned to me.

"Don't worry about him. He thinks he's a gangster." Roxas said. I laughed when he did say it. Then Miss Tifa started class.

Time Skip… 5th period

I was walking with the group to the lunch room, when I heard someone yell my name. I turned around and it was Riku with his little group of people.

"Hey Sora. How were your classes so far?" He asked.

"Pretty good… This one kid named Seifer already hates me though…" I said frowning.

"Seifer hates everyone, but I could 'chat' with him if you wanted." Riku said making air quotes on the word 'chat'.

"That would help. Thanks Riku." I said before speeding up to catch up with my group. Before I could get anywhere Riku grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"Riku… What are you doing?" I asked earning a few snorts from his friends.

"Aren't you going to eat lunch with me?" He asked.

"I guess I could…" I said looking from my friends to Riku and back again. We walked into the lunchroom. Riku and his group sat down around the table farthest in the back. I sat down next to Riku.

"Alright, the blonde with the braids is Rikku, the Brunette is Yuna, the scary looking girl over there is Paine, the blonde guy over there is Tidus, and the guy with red hair is Axel." Just then Roxas sat down next to Axel.

"Hey Axel." He said giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Hey babe…" Axel responded pulling Roxas into his lap.

"And that is Roxas, Axel's sophomore boyfriend." Riku finished.

"I know who Roxas is. I just didn't know he was gay." I said. Riku gave me a quizzical look.

"What don't like gays?" He asked.

"What? Oh! No, it's nothing like that. I can't not like them. I'm gay and Cloud and Leon are gay." I said making him laugh.

"It was a joke Sora. I know you wouldn't care. You live with Leon and Cloud for god's sake." Riku said.

"Speaking of them, they said I needed to catch a ride with you to the rink after school." I said.

"Okay, but what are you gonna do there?" He asked me.

"I have private lessons today." I answered.

"So the new kid figure skates too? That's just too precious." Seifer said. I looked down at the table.

"Seifer, come here." Riku said. Seifer walked over and Riku continued, "I swear to god if you pick on Sora, you will not make it to junior year." Riku growled.

"Why? Riku got a soft spot for the new kid?" Seifer joked. Riku looked back to me but I didn't see it because my head was down. Then he grabbed Seifer's collar and punched Seifer hard across the jaw. Seifer reeled back and fell on the floor. Riku got up and walked over to Seifer. He crouched down and said in a low tone.

"It would be wise if you didn't pick on him this year." Then he got back up and came over to the table and sat back down.

"So, Sora, why did you move to Destiny Islands anyway?" Rikku asked.

"Well, ummm, Cloud and Leon took me in after the death of my parents." I said.

"OH! You poor thing!!" Rikku said glomping me. I was so surprised that I didn't even realize my lack of oxygen.

"Rikku let go of him. He's turning blue!" Riku said. She let go of me and I gasped for air. Roxas laughed at me.

"Why did you really come here?" He asked.

"That was the truth. My parents were killed by my Dad's colleague. Then I ran away from the police I narrowly escaped being murdered, I was in the hospital for a while, and then Leon and Cloud brought me here." I summarized.

"Wow… That's really sad. I'm sooo sorry that your parents died." Roxas said. Axel hugged him tighter.

"It's okay. They were gone a lot anyways. I mean yeah they were my parents but, I never really got to know them…" I said.

"Awww!" Rikku said and she glomped me again. Not quite as tight this time so I didn't mind it. Riku kinda glared at her and I smiled. He was jealous.

"So kid, do you have a crush yet?" Axel asked.

"Ummm, why is that relevant?" I asked.

"Just answer the question or he'll keep bugging you." Riku said.

"Yes I do." I answered.

"Who is it? Anyone in this room?" Axel asked.

"Yes they are in this room…" I said blushing. Roxas smirked.

"Sora why don't you tell them already!" Roxas said, smirking.

"Shut up Roxas!" I said back playfully.

"It better not be Roxas!" Axel said angrily.

"It's not me Axel." Roxas said twisting in his seat to whisper the name into his ear.

"Roxas don't tell him..." I started saying, but then Axel's eyes lit up, "Too late." I murmured.

"You like him! Of all the people in this school, him." Axel said laughing.

"Don't laugh at me!" I said. When he continued I got up and ran out of the lunch hall. I could hear someone running after me, but I didn't care.

"Sora!" The person yelled tackling me.

"Leave me alone!" I said.

"No! Why are you so upset?! Who did you like anyway?" The person said.

I almost said it when I realized who it was. "It's no one." I said.

"No, who is it?" Riku asked.

"You wanna know?" He nodded, "I like you. Okay? That's why it's so funny." He said.

"You like me..?" He asked.

"Yes… I'm sorry." I said getting up and running for the bathrooms. When I had not come out for a while Riku came in.

"Sora? Come out. I want to tell you something." Riku called. I slowly made my way out of my hiding spot.

"What?" I said.

"I want to tell you that I like you too. I liked you when we met at the skating rink yesterday. I wanted to ask if you'd go out with me." He asked. I smiled and hugged him.

"Of course I'll go out with you."

Yay!! I finally got it out! I hope everyone likes it!! It was a really long chapter to make up for taking so long. I just had to have Sora and Riku hook up in this chapter! It was the perfect time too! When Sora was in need Riku jumps in to help him! How romantic. lol. Please review!
