Day- 9
"Yeah, it's going to be great!" I said, handing out another invitation. After hours of begging Cloud and printing out invitations, I had managed to lay the ground work of my grand plan; a huge Christmas eve bash at my house. Everyone was invited, it was going to be a huge party. Everybody was excited, and everyone I asked instantly perked up and said yes.
Soon, the whole school was abuzz, all talking about the party I was going to be throwing. It was going to be perfect. Everybody would get there and be happy, Christmas Spirit would be everywhere, and the best part was I had even set up a Secret Santa in second period. The whole gang was excited when they read the names they had gotten, carefully making sure their 'victims' never got wind of who their Santa was, all the while going back and forth, trying to think up the perfect gift. All I could do was smile and look at the one name I had wished for; Sora.
I would get him the best Christmas present ever! I had absolutely no clue just what that was right now, but I would get it for him! I just had to. I smiled at Selphie as she passed by saying "Hey, Christmas Eve party at my house, you in?" Selphie nodded enthusiastically, saying "Totally!" I handed her another invitation before bouncing away, beaming. This party was going to be perfect. And if I managed to pull it off, it would also be where I asked Sora out.
"Hey Roxy!" Think of the angel and they shall appear. I smiled whipping around as Sora hopped up looking excited. "I can't wait for Christmas Eve Roxy! It's gonna be the best party ever! And then Santa's going to be here with presents the next day! It's going to be awesome!" I nodded in agreement, unable to stop grinning in front of my favorite brunette. "So who'd you get for the Secret Santa Sora?" Sora was opening his mouth to answer when he caught himself. I winked at me before saying "Nice try Roxas, but I'm not telling. It's a Secret Santa, remember?"
I frowned, before screwing up my face, trying to pull of the puppy dog pout Sora had managed. "Please?" Sora busted up laughing and I scowled. "Oh my gosh, your face was perfect! It was like some puppy dog rape face, it's hilarious! Do it again Roxy!" I turned away, crossing my arms. "Aww, come on Roxy, I'm just playing." Sora said, throwing his arms around me. I blushed beet red, before muttering "It's not funny." Sora tried to stifle a giggle, solemnly saying "Of course it isn't. Roxy." After a few seconds though, the giggling came back.
"Jerk" I muttered. Sora squeezed me tight, and I froze, closing my eyes as he leaned up, breath tickling my ear. "Roxy" He said slowly, and I shivered unintentionally. "Hey scum!" Somebody shouted. Sora froze where he was, and I slowly opened my eyes to find Riku standing only a few feet away from me. Everybody had gone quiet, waiting to see what would happen next. "Sora, go stand by the wall" I murmured, not wanting him to be part of whatever was about to happen. "Roxas" Sora whispered, but Riku interrupted saying "Move over Sora, this is between me and Mr. Nobody here." Sora glared at Riku and was opening his mouth to retort when I grabbed his shoulder.
He glanced back angrily, but sobered up under my gaze. "Let me fight my own battles. Just trust me ok?" Sora watched me for a long while, before nodding and walking to the wall. He stayed right there, watching me intensely, waiting. I turned back to Riku waiting patiently. I was in dangerous territory now. Any sort of real confrontation would ruin any hopes I had of getting on the nice list, I had to play this one carefully. One wrong move, and it would be game over for me. "What's up Riku?" I asked, standing my ground.
"Who do you think you are? You're nobody, some little freak with now home, just coming in, and now what? You think you're some kind of hot shot who can just throw some kind of party? That's my thing freak. I've been putting up with you long enough, but I can't do it anymore, you're worthless. I even try to be nice to you, and what do I get? You're rude, disrespectful, and now you're going to pay for it." I managed not to roll my eyes, asking "And how am I going to pay for it?"
Riku snorted, saying "You're gonna pay for it by going back where you came from and staying the hell away from Sora! If I ever see you near him again, I will beat you so bad you won't be walking for a week, understand?" I didn't growl, I didn't fume. Stupid as his remarks were, and as angry as I was, I forced myself to remain calm. I glanced over to the other side of the hall, where I noticed that Ansem was now standing, watching to see how all of this would play out. I managed to force myself to smile before saying "I'm sorry but I can't do that."
Riku growled, coming up to me, fists clenched. "You want to run that by me again freak?" What I wanted was to slam his face into the lockers right behind me. But I resisted the urge and repeated. "I said, I'm sorry but I can't do that. I can however give you this." I reached into my bag, pulling out one of my Christmas Eve party invites. "What the hell is this?" Riku asked, slapping it out of my hand. "It is an invitation to the party I'm throwing on Christmas Eve. Everyone's invited."
"To hell with your party stay away from Sora." I forced my smile to stay up and tried my hardest to make my voice sound sincere as I said "I do hope you can make it to the party. And if you can't, I hope you have a very merry Christmas." Riku let out a growl, throwing his fist back for a punch. I flinched closing my eyes, waiting for a blow that never came. When I opened my eyes in confusion, I saw that Riku was staring in horror at a hand that had grabbed his arm, preventing him from hitting me; Ansem. "I don't recall allowing violence to reign supreme on this campus." Ansem said coolly.
Riku spluttered for a few seconds before saying "It was his fault, he started it!" Ansem raised an eyebrow. "Really? Forgive me if I am imagining things, but I am almost positive that I witnessed Roxas offering you an invitation to a Christmas Eve Celebration and wishing you a merry Christmas. Would you care to clarify how that would be considered a threat in any way?" Riku spluttered some more, and Ansem turned back to all of the students. "I am most positive that you all have places to be and things to do. If you don't, I will gladly give you some." As one, the students rushed off, heading for class. I was turning around to leave when Ansem called back to me.
"Roxas." I glanced back, and Ansem nodded his head once in approval. "Well done." I nodded back, saying "Thanks sir" before turning back and rejoining Sora. "Thanks for not fighting." Sora murmured, pulling me close. I smiled and nodded, trying to focus ahead. The worst that could happen was now behind me, probably getting detention as we went. I only had a few days left, I was staying on the nice list, and Sora and I seemed closer than ever. This was going to be a perfect Christmas.
Ok, confession time; when it comes to confrontation scenes, unless a sword or actual fighting is involved, I suck (worse than usual). But hey, it works, kind of anyways, and so I hope you enjoy! Have a holly jolly Christmas!
