Starz: Alright, now it's time for Riku to look like the bad guy.
Sora: What do you mean bad guy?
Riku: What?
Starz: Believe me people Riku will get better but now the drama must come and come down hard.
Both: (gulp)
Starz: Malevolence laugh!
Sora stood in the locker and shut the door in front of me to get undressed. Roxas knocked on the door. He was in a towel.
"Sora? What are you doing?" Roxas asked.
Sora said in alarm, "I-I'm just getting undressed."
"Why not do it out here like the rest of us?" Roxas asked.
Sora answered, "N-no thanks."
Roxas thought about this for a minute. The same thing happened to Axel when…he lost his virginity!
"Sora! Sora! Please, don't tell me!" Roxas said in a quiet panic tone. "Sora are you still a virgin?"
It got quiet for a minute between the two. Everyone else was playing around and taking showers. Sora banged through the locker and covered Roxas mouth.
"Shush! If anyone hears that Riku and I slept with each other I'll be on the deep end!" Sora whispered in a panic.
But the person on the other side had already heard what Sora and Roxas had said.
The next day, Sora walked right into school. There was no sign of Riku anywhere. But, Kairi and Roxas were there so Sora was happy. Sora opened his locker.
"Morning!" Kairi smiled.
Sora smiled, "Good morning."
"Where's Riku?" Kairi asked.
Sora responded, "I don't know? We talked yesterday but… he just disappeared today."
The bell rang and Sora stuffed his last book in his bag. The three quickly headed for class. Kairi sat down next to her friend and the window.
Her friend said, "Did you hear?"
Kairi asked, "Hear what?"
Her friend showed her the picture and whispered Kairi's ear. Kairi gasped.
"No!"
"Yes!"
Roxas sat down in the back of the room. Everyone was whispering. One girl and guy walked up to Roxas.
"So, if Sora did that? Does that mean your not one either?"
"What are you talking about?" Roxas asked.
The girl showed him a picture, "Y' know."
"Holy sh…!"
Sora sat down with a smile on his face and his mind on his lover. The teacher wasn't in yet so it was kind of loud. Sora was handed a note. He looked at it in its triangle fold. Where did you come from? Sora thought.
It said, " Guess what? I'm not a virgin! Riku and I did it the other day it was amazing! ~Sora"
Sora gasped, "WHAT?"
Sora stood and looked around. Everyone was laughing and he blushed.
"Who wants to know who did this? I do!" Sora said angrily. "Who wrote it?"
"YOU DID!" The class laughed.
The teacher took it out of Sora's hand and he quickly gasped everyone got quiet. Sora suddenly felt the hardest knot in his throat.
"Sora to the Principle's office."
"But I-I…!"
"GO!"
Sora started walking out.
"That's what happens to a slut."
"He was bragging he was some hero in the beginning of the year."
"What a liar."
"Gay."
All those words that were being said were breaking Sora apart. He arrived at the office, a place he never thought he'd go. He sat in her office as she read the note.
"To think of all people! You, Sora? You've changed. This isn't something to brag about." She said.
Sora said trying to fight back crying, "I-I…I didn't…"
"This isn't my school, this isn't something you should be proud of! Does your parents know about this?"
"N-no but I…"
"Nothing! We'll just have to speak with your parents. Tell them to speak with me whenever you can."
Her assistant came in and said a phone call was for her. She told Sora to stay and she left the room. Sora quickly took out his cell phone. Okay, how do I use this. I press this one right? No! Damn it, I can't take this technology stuff! He thought.
He was calling Riku.
"Hello?" Riku said.
Sora said, "Riku where are you? They found out everything."
"I know."
"Really? How? Where are you?"
"Ice cream shop, I decided I didn't want to go to school because I might have gotten in trouble."
"We both would have! I don't know what to do Riku! Why didn't you tell me?"
"Someone had to take the blame."
"Right, I guess it would be me."
"Yup."
"Alright, meet me at the beach later on."
They both hung up and the principle gave Sora a good lecture. All day Sora was alone, he didn't feel like sitting with Kairi or eating with Roxas. He had to think of how to get passed his parents. But now there was another problem…Riku.
"I don't think he loves you Sora."
"We trust Sora, he's a good boy."
"You've changed Sora."
"D-don't you think someone else could be with you?"
"Someone had to take the blame."
All those words popped into his head.
"What a liar."
"Slut."
"Trust Sora, doesn't love you, someone else, changed Sora, and take the blame."
"Sora?" Kairi said.
Sora who was stilling looking down and hadn't touched his food. Small tears formed into his eyes.
"I can save everyone else out there… But, I can't save….myself." Sora said finally.
"Ooh, Sora."
"Please, leave me alone." Sora said with tears down his cheeks. "Everyone please leave me alone."
Kairi walked away…leaving Sora alone. Roxas who didn't even look at his food also felt Sora's heart. Lea sat next to him a smile on his face.
"Hey, bud. Why the long face?" Lea asked.
Roxas replied, "It's Sora. This rumor, this lie Riku said, it's crushing him. He won't listen to Kairi or me. I-I just feel so depressed that I can't help."
Lea said, "So he's sad. Now's your chance. Cheer him up! I didn't do all this for nothing."
"YOU? You did this? You crushed his heart? You're the one who will get him in deep trouble?" Roxas gasped.
Lea rubbed the back of his head, "Well you were talking about how jealous you were that Riku…"
"YOU DON'T GO AND JUST RUIN HIS LIFE? YOU DON'T JUST DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!" Roxas yelled.
Everyone was in utter silence when Roxas was yelling this. Even Sora looked up.
Lea said quietly, "I was just trying to help."
"Yeah! Well thanks but no thanks." Roxas said walking away.
Sora said to himself, "Roxas…"
"Sora…"
After school Sora ran straight to the beach. Riku was sitting there under the tree.
"Riku." Sora said.
"Hey." He smiled.
Sora asked, "Do you know how much trouble we're in?"
"We're? Oh no, Sora I thought you were taking the blame."
"Me?" Sora gasped.
Riku stood and walked next to Sora. Who was kind of pouting.
"Did you mean it?" Sora asked.
"Mean what?"
"That you loved me. Did you mean it?"
"Uh…yeah. Why wouldn't I?"
"I just- I don't think- why am I-?" Sora couldn't seem to put his thoughts together.
Suddenly, Sora got a text. He looked at his phone as Riku played with sand. It was a picture of Riku…who was…he was kissing Kairi? Sora shut his phone and tears started running down his eyes.
"Liar." Sora whispered.
"What was that?" Riku asked.
Sora yelled, "Liar!"
He ran off before Riku could even grab him. Leaving Riku to wonder what he meant. Sora who had his sight set on telling Riku he would take the blame. A few minutes of watching the sunset and then time to go home.
Sora walked in with a face as blank as a white sheet of paper. No expression was on his face because he didn't want to think because he knew if he did he would have cried.
"Hi, Sora! Dinner is almost done and I made your favorite." My mother smiled.
Sora said, "That's nice."
"You don't want to know what it is. What's wrong sweet heart?" His mother said putting the top on the pot.
"I'm…fine…" Sora said with hesitation.
"A-alright…"
Sora walked up the stairs and shut the door then face planted onto the bed. He wanted to die, he never wanted to see another smiling face, and more. Why did he lie? Why am I taking the blame? Why do I…why do I love him? Sora thought. Kairi where are you? I need you…what d o I do about my parents? Oh my God my parents they'll kill me…what do I do? I'm in a tight spot.
His phone began to ring. Sora looked at it.
"Kairi." Sora cried.
"Sora! Are you alright? Where are you? Riku called me. What did you mean by 'liar?" She asked.
Sora asked, "Have you ever kissed Riku?"
There was a quiet pause. Sora sighed and waited.
"I-I have…"
"When?"
"Three years ago, it was a dare and Riku was willing to do it."
"Really? Then he isn't lying? Riku does love me!" Sora said happily.
"Sora!" My Father called down angrily.
Sora sighed, " Oh…shit…"
He hung up the phone. He opened his door slowly and stood in the hall trembling.
"What is the matter with you?" His father asked.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked cautiously.
His father replied, "Not speaking a word to your mother? She asked how you are you and you know how you lied! Speak the truth sometimes but…lies are sometimes good to…scratch that. Come down for dinner?"
"Yes." I said with a relieved sigh.
I walked down the stairs to the kitchen and sat. Thinking of a way to get out of the parent situation. A plate of mac & cheese with fried chicken. It was his favorite. He had many favorites but this is definitely one of his favorites.
"Looks great, Mom." Sora said with a smirk.
Feeling just a bit happy.
"How are you today, Honey? Did something happen?" Mom asked.
I replied, "Yeah umm… it was a rude note being passed around today and the teacher thought I wrote it."
"What?" Sora's father gasped.
Sora's mom said, "Perhaps we should go up there and explain you out?"
"No!" Sora said exclaiming. "I mean! I already explained it out with Riku! There is no need to come to my school."
"A-alright…" His mother said.
Ohh, my God. I lied to my parents (not the first time). It's been a while, but at least I'm out of it.
Truthfully, Sora does feel a bit bad. But, what his parents planned that night made it seem worse.
