Hey, everyone

Hey, everyone! Time for Chapter 9! I'd like everyone to ignore the spam reviews left by Roxas1031, just typing my pen name several times over. I have reported them all as spam and they should soon be removed.

Those Daily Things Chapter 9 – Namine's Grudge

Sora was half exhausted, half spaced out. He'd only gotten some 4 hours of sleep, after Axel had thrown a big goddamned party the night before, leaving Sora to get enough energy for only the first period the next day: English. No-one in the class would have had a problem with English, simply because Tom would have probably gone to the party as well, and Tom was never one to run off 4 hours' sleep. But Tom was in Australia, so he got the Year 10 Teacher, Aerith.

Ms Gainsborough was very nice – Sora couldn't understand how Riku hated her – maybe it was personal issues. She was not one of the teachers who had a problem with favouring one of her students over the others, and Sora was a clear favourite, often she picked up and applauded or read out his narrative, making Kairi roll her eyes. "She is such a shotcom!" She would preach. (A/N: For those who don't know, a shotcom is a Japanese word for an older woman who likes younger boys.)

But it wasn't first period anymore. Now it was second period, with another six torturous minutes until Morning Tea, and Sora had his head buried in his arms, with another 30 kindred spirits, with only one wish: to not be there, listening to the teacher Vincent drone on about the Algebra Maths homework.

Sora sighed. More maths homework? Now how would he be able to spend any time with Kairi, let alone his other friends. Damn Redmond trapping him after the party and taking him to Squall of all people. First he had detention, then Maths, History and Geography homework and then work on his English and Science assignments.

"LEONHART, WHAT IS THE ANSWER!" said very intensely by a very nervous maths teacher that happened to be called Mr. Valentine.

"Uh..." said Sora now realizing that he was being put on the spot for a complicated maths sum that he had no idea how to do. "...64 Sir?" continued Sora bracing him self for the crack of a gun being aimed at the wall.

"THERE WASN'T EVEN A QUESTION! I ONLY SAID IT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION AND NOW YOU'VE LANDED YOURSELF IN DETENTION, MEET ME HERE AT LUNCH!" returned Valentine quickly.

"Hey Redmond, have you seen Sora? I've been looking for him all lunch." asked Kairi.

"Nup. But Roxas said that he was in detention from Valentine's class." replied Redmond innocently.

"Oh yeah, thanks anyway." said Kairi grumpily as Redmond walked away licking a lollipop. How come he always seemed to have a lollipop, but more importantly, why was Sora was always getting in trouble lately?

-a-

"You're a good man, Redmond, a good man." Squall Leonhart said happily. "Perhaps a few detentions will keep Sora from thinking he's better than me at the Dorm War!" He cackled evilly to himself, throwing Redmond another lollipop.

"Thanks, Mr. Leonhart!" Redmond said happily, pocketing the confectionary. "You know I love stirring things! Should I upgrade to trying to ruin Sora and Kairi's relationship?"

"No. Don't go that far. At least, not on my order." Leon said, folding his arms stubbornly. "I mean, if you break those two up, I will personally pull your bowels out through your kneecap."

"Ouch. Just light pranks and detentions, then." Redmond, said turning to leave the room.

-b-

"Today this ends, Riku!"

"I agree, Sora! En guarde!"

Both Sora and Riku suddenly began doing some scissors, paper, rock to settle a conflict of some nature. Riku flung out paper while Sora pulled out scissors, making Sora the winner. "Haha, Riku! I thought you would know me well enough after 14 years of friendship to know that I ALWAYS picks scissors!"

Riku grumbled something about how Sora had NEVER picked scissors in living memory, but begrudgingly handed over his beloved Minutes To Midnight CD for Sora to listen to. Sora laughed at Riku and waved him goodbye, joining up with Roxas in the hallway.

"Alright, Sora." Roxas said in their greeting.

"Alright, Roxas." Sora replied in the same manner.

The two started walking along side by side, talking about multiple things. Suddenly, Roxas' shoulder collided with that of Seifer's, the school's juvenile delinquent and general asshole.

"Respect your superiors, Roxas." Seifer said in a highly infuriating tut-tut-tut manner. "It would be good for your Mum if I had to go back for another round!" He asked, doing one of the highly annoying 'Ya Mum' jokes.

"Hey!" Roxas said. "You keep my Mum out of this, and I'll keep this out of ya Mum!" He said, gesturing to his crotch. All around, people oooohed and glared Seifer to see what he would do next.

Seifer gritted his teeth. "You, of all people, shouldn't be making such calls. You can't even kiss your girlfriend!" He said, laughing.

"Hey, fuck off!" Roxas said, trying to dart at Seifer, but Sora held him back. "She has rights and motives that a simpleton like you could never understand!"

"Whatever, man." Seifer said, turning around. "But if you think you're impressing anyone with that I'm-going-to-cater-to-my-girlfriend's-wishes-no-matter-what routine, then you're wrong."

"At least he can actually have a meaningful relationship!" Sora called back after the retreating jock. Sora was furious – he, Riku and Roxas had been friends since primary school. No-one insulted him without Sora backing Roxas up.

Meanwhile, in the Australia…

Pope, one of the Science Teachers at the school, was talking to Tom casually about things. The two had been best friends since they had coherent interaction, and had decided to pursue their careers together – they were back to visit their families in Australia together, but they were also there to meet the new History teacher the school had hired.

"Hey look, here comes that new History teacher, the one you got the hots for. You gonna buy her lunch or something?" Pope teased his friend as Tom began filling out a clipboard.

"One: no, I do not have the hots for her, Two: Her name is Frankie, and C: Any self-respecting man wouldn't give her the time of day." Tom replied stubbornly.

"Hey boys, I'm Frankie. And you must be Pope and Tom." She said, shaking both of their hands. "Say, any of you have the time?"

"Threetwentyfour P.M." Tom stammered out, very nervously. He was blushing like crazy, and trying to hide it.

"Why thank you, Tom. I'll go get ready." Heather said, walking up into the elevator to get to her room.

"I… I gotta go…" Tom said, trying to hide his blush and running off.

"Now THIS will be interesting." Pope said to himself, thinking of ways he could push the two together.

Back at the school, Science class.

"You're pathetic, you know that?" Seifer whispered into Roxas' ear. Roxas willed himself to not to listen, to just keep working. He sighed and continued with atoms, molecules and elements, writing down the chemical equations.

"I mean, d'you really think you're proving yourself to be a particularly good person?" Seifer said. "C'mon, if you really loved her, you'd show that you and her can take your relationship to the next level, no more being afraid."

"I can't force her to do something she doesn't want to do." Roxas said, and Seifer scoffed.

"You really think you're helping your relationship? She's just using you to gain social status, man."

"SHE IS NOT!" Roxas yelled, standing up from his seat and shouting at Seifer. The whole class turned to look at him. "Oh- I'm sorry, Mr. Church." Roxas apologized, and sat back down. The teacher just continued on, and Roxas tried to until Seifer spoke again.

"Jeez, no need to have a psyche. I'm just making a point is all."

Lunch. That single words are joy and relief to all students, and the time of lunch brings couples together. It's reputation was upheld as Sora was judging which juice box held more juice. Satisfied he had found the one with more, he gave it to Kairi and began drinking the small one. Kairi and Stephanie were actually getting along great, talking about things, Stephanie trying to ignore Riku as he tried to wrap his arm around her waist. Eventually she gave in, and burst into laughter mid-sentence, causing everyone to laugh. Only Namine was without her boyfriend, and her depression sunk further when Redmond walked over with his girlfriend in tow.

"Hey guys!" Yuffie chirped happily.

"Yeah, what's happening at the boyfriend and girlfriend club? Mind if we join?" Redmond asked, setting his Yuffie's lunches down on the table. Yuffie suddenly stared at him strangely.

"Boyfriend? Who ever said that?" Yuffie asked.

"But-but I thought…" Redmond stuttered, looking confused and upset. "… I thought I was your boyfriend…"

"Oh, hell no. I've had a boyfriend since I got here. He's just been away on a student exchange to Germany. He should be popping in…" She checked her watch. "3…2…1… Now." Suddenly, the doors exploded open, and in walked a boy Redmond's age. He was as tall as Redmond, had a neat cut of blonde-brown hair, brown eyes, wore a black t-shirt, and jeans. Yuffie ran to embrace him. "HEEEEEENNNNNNNRRRRRRRRYYYYYY!!" She squealed, tackling him in a hug.

Redmond began to cry and ran out of the cafeteria, in front of the whole school, no less. The whole school burst into laughter, including Yuffie, Henry, Sora, Kairi, Namine, Riku, and Stephanie.

When finally the laughter quietened, the doors opened again and Roxas walked in. "Hey guys, what's wrong with him?" Roxas asked as he saw Riku lying on the table, still in tears of laughter.

"Yeah, the most hilarious thing just happened…" Sora laughed, patting Kairi's back as she almost choked on her food from a burst of laughter that came on when she thought about it.

Roxas sat down next to Namine. "Namine, do you really love me?" He asked.

Namine looked confused by the question. "Of course I do, Roxas. I've never loved a human being as much as you."

"Are you sure?"

"Never been more sure. What's brought this on?" She asked. "What are you doing with this?"

"I'm doing this." Roxas said, and pushed Namine's lips against his in front of the whole school. Namine squeaked in shock and surprise, the whole group staring in shock. Namine shrieked and with incredible force, pushed Roxas off her.

"WHY?" She screamed, her face drenched in tears. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? I TRUSTED YOU! I LOVED YOU, AND YOU BETRAYED ME!" She screamed, and ran out crying. This time though, there was no laughter, only a shocked silence.

"Asshole." Kairi spat at Roxas. "Namine, wait!" She called after her retreating friend. Selphie also stood up from another table and followed.

Roxas grew angry and stood up, shouting to all the people staring at him. "WHAT! DON'T LOOK AT ME, SHE'S OVERREACTING!" He shouted. Some people nodded, others remained with frowns and stared. Roxas stormed out, shortly followed by Riku and Stephanie. The whole cafeteria turned to Sora, to see which side he would take. Sora ran out of the cafeteria through the third entrance – the one the other two hadn't traveled.

-f-

Sora dialed the number on his mobile. It took a little longer than expected, but Tom picked up on the other side of the world. "Hello?"

"Hey Tom, it's Sora!"

"Oh, Sora! Hey buddy, how's it going?"

"Not well, that's why I called."

Tom sighed. "I leave home for a few days and look what happens, haha. But seriously, what is it?"

"Well, Roxas kissed Namine in public, and now they're in a huge fight."

"What? Okay, here's what you gotta do. You gotta stop as many people as possible from taking a side."

"Okay. I won't take a side."

"That's my guy. Listen, I gotta go, that know-it-all History teacher is calling. I see you when I get back in two days." He said, then a shout. "Okay Frankie, I'm coming! Look, I'll see you later, Sora." The end tone was heard and Sora hung up. Seconds later, he received a text message from Kairi.

Hey Sora,

I know you're with us, right? That bastard Roxas took it too far. The nerve of that guy! Anyway, We've had to take Namine into town for some cheering up, so I'll see you later!

P.S. Love and kisses later, Kairi :P

His phone beeped again.

Yo Sora,

I'm glad you've got my back. I mean, she's overreacting, we all know it. I can't believe her, I was sure she'd understand! Anyway, I'll see you later for some games, man!

Bros before Hoes,

Roxas

Sora shrank down on his bed and put his head in his arms. He'd theorized that this would be a wild week. He hated it when he was right.

-g-

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Redmond yelled, storming up to Henry and Yuffie. Henry began waving his hands, telling Redmond to calm down.

"Okay, okay. Now what I want you to do is go down to the hardware store… You listening?" He asked and Redmond nodded. "Buy some concrete, pour it all over yourself…" He suddenly shoved Redmond, the boy falling down. "AND HARDEN THE FUCK UP!" Henry yelled and left, giggling with Yuffie.

--

Well, that's the end of that! It was a bit shorter than others, but it needed to be done quickly! Alright, I'd love some reviews! Btw, SkyLandOcean, no offense is aimed at you for the character of Frankie! Also, Henry is not a bully, just an asshole.
