--Hey, thanks for the reviews! For those who are not reviewing, please review…PLEASE! It's just an easy thing to do…let me call it a favor…well, I got 133 hits and only 18 reviews (for now)…I'm still expecting more…oh well. I can't blame you if you don't want… but I really wish you did! PLEASE! (Puppy dog eyes) (Kairi hits HeartKisses on the head) (Kairi: Can you just start the story? We're waiting here!) Oh…yeah…the story! Here goes…--
Chapter 4: Disregard
Selphie and Yuffie glazed at Kairi full of jealousy. Kairi had just told them about Sora and about what happened last night. They can't believe their best friend's luck. Anyway, Selphie and Yuffie kept asking about her and Sora.
"Is he courting you? You're soooooo lucky!" Selphie squealed.
"He's not courting me. He just walked me home…the time when I'm alone because of you two!"
"But what about the kiss on the cheek you've just said a while ago? What does that mean?" Yuffie asked.
"Well…ummm…err—I…really…don't know. A friendly kiss perhaps…?" Kairi answered.
The three of them walked talking about the play, class stuff and the GT6. Then, they spotted someone. It's not just someone, (Guess who? I know you already knew…) it's Sora. BUT it's not just that…he's with someone too. (Guess again? Nope…it's not the GT6…) it's a girl. Someone the three girls never knew or met. Kairi froze…Sora's arm was resting at the shoulder of the girl. They were sitting SWEETLY at a bench in the corner. Sora was saying something to the girl that made her giggle. I think he was telling a joke or something. Selphie and Yuffie can't believe their eyes…after what Kairi had just said about Sora…this can't be happening.
I knew it…I knew I shouldn't have liked him! Why did I let myself be fooled on those charming words…cute smile…AMAZING EYES! Oh God! Why have I forgotten that he was one of those playboys…especially he's one of the GT6! Kairi thought.
It is break time already. Kairi just sat on a bench with a sad face and a teary eye. She can't believe she fell on his charm. Why? Why did he do this? Why now that she liked him so much…? She wasn't the kind of girl that can easily be fooled. Selphie and Yuffie are trying their best to make her happy. I thought there's something different in him… Kairi thought.
The two girls were in front of Kairi and are doing anything just to make her laugh. They look like clowns…but actually, they look more like stupid. But they don't care…it's for the sake of their best friend. Kairi looked up and watched her two best friends…they look funny but she didn't laugh…she was not in the mood.
"What are you guys doing?" Kairi FINALLY asked. She haven't talked to them much since the incident.
"You finally NOTICED us!" Yuffie said.
"YEY!" Selphie cheered jumping up and down.
Kairi shook her head and said, "I'm fine okay…you don't have to do anything…"
Selphie and Yuffie looked at each other then at Kairi. "You sure you're okay?" Yuffie asked reassuringly.
"Yeah…I guess…" she answered palely.
The three girls walked at the corridor going to their lockers. Kairi saw Sora with the GT6 walking towards their direction…she doesn't want to see him for a while. That's why she didn't sit on her usual seat in Geometry and History or at any class Sora's in. She was too hurt…maybe because she expected too much. And she doesn't want Sora to notice that…she doesn't want to show him she was hurt because of HIM.
"You know wha—" Selphie was pulled by Kairi before she could finish her sentence.
Kairi had her friends' arms in both hands…she pulled them away before they could see the GT6 and before Sora could see her.
"Where are you taking us?" Yuffie asked curiously.
"Oh…umm…to…the—the comfort room…I want to go to the…comfort room." Kairi said searching for words to say.
"You don't have to pull us…" Yuffie said taking her hand off Kairi.
"Yeah…" Selphie agreed taking her hand off too.
"I'm sorry…I guess I just got…umm…I mean…I—I really need to…uhhmmm…use the bathroom badly." Kairi blurted out.
She was relieved that Sora wasn't able to see her in her teary eye mode, sad face and bad mood. They walked to the nearest comfort room. Selphie opened the door for them. Kairi was astounded…she saw someone…someone she didn't expect to see. It's the girl…the girl I saw with my Sora…did I just said MY Sora?? Her thoughts flooded.
"Kairi! Are you coming in or what? I thought you needed to go to the bathroom BADLY! I'm getting pretty tired in here…" Selphie said who's still holding the door open for them.
"Oh…uhhmmm…" Kairi thought for a while…No turning back now…you're friends will get curious if you'd go away…
Good thing she saw Sora's girl walk inside one of the stalls. I don't want to see her either. It still hurts whenever I remember them together…
"Don't tell me you changed your mind!?" Yuffie said suspiciously as she observed Kairi.
"No…I'm just about to go in when Selphie asked me…" Kairi said hoping that her friends wouldn't suspect anything.
She entered and searched for a vacant spot where she could stay for a while until that girl would go out. Too bad all of them are occupied. And there are also short lines of girls waiting for their turn. She waited at the spot where there are no girls waiting. When the door clicked open, she was surprised to see…OF ALL PEOPLE…the girl she didn't want to see. She hurriedly entered the stall and closed it.
She sat there and her mind inundated with thoughts…
Why is it like this? The more I hide from them…the more they show themselves! I'm almost beginning to feel that they're doing this on purpose… (She took a deep breath) Why is this happening to me? Just yesterday I'm so happy…I thought this day would be HAPPIER…but… (She doesn't want to think about it)
Then her eyes focused on a glistening object at the floor. She looked closer at it and picked it up. It is a wonderful bracelet. But she didn't think about keeping it for herself…she is planning to give it back to the owner. Then she remembered, the girl…Sora's girl…was the last one in there. So, it might be hers. She doesn't like to even talk to that girl but she knew she have to.
She opened the door and searched for the appealing girl. She spotted her in front of the mirror. She walked to her and tapped her shoulder. The girl turned around and their cerulean eyes met each other's gaze.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Is…" Kairi really doesn't want to talk to her…
(Kairi: This isn't for the sake of Sora or for the sake of this girl…or even for the bracelet! This is for the sake of being a GOOD person!)
"Is this bracelet yours?" She asked showing the palm of her hand where the golden bracelet is placed.
The blond-haired girl picked the bracelet up from Kairi's palm and surveyed it.
She smiled and Kairi admitted that she really is gorgeous. "Yes, this is mine. Thanks for returning it!"
Kairi replied with a smile. Then she turned to face the mirror too. The girl is putting some powder and lip balm on. Kairi kept thinking of what to say…she's even practicing at her thoughts. 'Hey…umm do you and Sora…like, have a thing?' Nah…maybe this would work. 'It looks like you're pretty good friends with Sora…does he like you?' That's not gonna work to…'You and Sora looked sweet…and I think you two looked perfect for each other!' Her thoughts were disturbed when the girl began their conversation.
"Really, really THANKS! I owe you big! This bracelet is so special to me…I just received it this morning. And it's from…"
Please don't say Sora, don't say Sora, don't say Sora! It went through her mind on and on and on.
"…a special someone" the girl continued.
Kairi applied some lip balm when the girl began to talk again.
"By the way, my name's…" When she was about to say her name, some of her friends called her attention.
"C'mon already!" the girl's friend said.
"I'm coming…just give me a sec." The girl replied. She turned to Kairi again and said, "My name's…" Now, she was pulled by one of her friends. So she hadn't had the chance to say her name. "Thanks…" she said, searching for Kairi's name.
"Kairi." She merely shouted so that the girl would hear. The girl didn't have the chance to reply so she just nodded and smiled as she was pulled away.
Kairi faced the mirror again and…"KAIRI!" she turned to see Selphie and Yuffie at the door.
"Class is about to start…you don't want to be late right?" Yuffie said. Yeah…I almost forgot! Kairi thought. So she made a quick dash to the door and the three scampered to their locker to get their books. Then, they hurried to Computer class.
Next to Computer is Physics…after that, lunch break. She went to her locker to return her things. But when she opened her locker, her red folder fell and Sora's picture slipped out. It was crowded at that time…so when one of the students saw Sora's picture, she began shouting "Hey look! This girl got Sora's picture!" Almost all the girls went to Kairi's place to see the picture. But Kairi got her folder and the picture before anybody could see. She raced out to escape from the crowd that has formed near her. But unfortunately, they followed her. They chased her wherever she goes so she thought fast.
They keep following me…where'd I go? She ran to a place where she knew no one could see her. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall panting as if she had run a whole yard of a track and field. But then, she heard some moving…there was someone there! When she opened her eyes, 6 people stared at her. She surveyed the place she hid. She saw a wall with so many vandalisms. The biggest one says "GT6's AUTHORITY" with a black spray paint. She was astonished. They were all staring at her like saying 'What are you doing here?' And…Leon, he was looking at Kairi which feels more like a death glare. Sora was also there. She froze.
This is so HUMILIATING! What am I doing here? I didn't even know this is their authority! Now, what will I do? What?? There is only one possible solution…RUN! But she didn't run…she just stood there like a statue. Her breathing rate became faster and her heart was pounding loudly. I think I'm gonna faint! I wish I would…but…I can't. I WANT TO FAINT! This can't be happening!
