Chapter 10: An Old Friend

"How does it feel to know that your first semester of college is almost over?" I asked Selphie as we sat down at CiCi's for lunch.

"Good I guess. It just seems like it's gone by too fast. I can't believe it's already the middle of November." She answered.

"Yeah. Just think after next semester I'll be a senior." I told her after taking a bite of pizza.

"And I'll be a sophomore. Will I get to live in an apartment then?" she asked.

"Maybe." I answered.

"Not that I don't like Olette as a roommate it's just I don't like the dorms."

"I know how that feels." I answered.

"Riku?!" I heard someone exclaim. "Riku Aiawa?!" the person exclaimed again as they came over to our table. I looked up to see a girl with short blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Chloe?" I asked.

"Yeah. It's me! I'm so happy to see you again!" she exclaimed as she hugged me.

"Wow. It's been a long time." I stated as I hugged her back.

"Yeah, since sophomore year of high school right?" she asked.

"Right." I answered.

"So what are you doing in Twilight Town?"

"I got scholarships to TCU. I'm a junior now."

"Really?! I'm gonna transfer there next semester!"

"Cool."

"Riku, who's this?" Selphie asked.

"Sorry. Chloe, this is Selphie Tilmitt my—"

"Hi I'm Chloe Spritz." She introduced herself to Selphie."

"Hello." Selphie greeted her.

"Would you mind if I sat with you guys for a minute?" Chloe asked.

"No, I don't mind go ahead." Selphie answered as she moved over. "So how do you know Riku?" she asked as Chloe sat down next to her.

"We were high school sweethearts until I moved to Twilight Town." she answered.

"You said it was sophomore year right?"

"Yeah. Those were the days. Right, Riku?"

"I guess." I answered.

"I'm sorry, I have to go now. I'll be late for a class. I'm just so happy to see you again." she said as she got up and hugged me again.

"Yeah. It's good to see you too." I replied as I hugged her back.

"Could we get together again sometime and talk?" she asked.

I looked at Selphie. She just shrugged. "Yeah. I'd like that."

"Okay. I'll call you."

"Sure." I replied giving her my cell number.

"High school sweetheart?" Selphie asked after Chloe left.

"Only my sophomore year." I answered.

"Did you love her?" Selphie asked me.

"She's just a good friend. We only went out for a couple weeks and decided it'd be better to be friends."

"Okay. I'm sorry. I guess I'm just… well never mind."

A few hours later I had just gotten back from my last class of the day and Chloe called me to go hang out. We walked around the park talking. We had a lot to catch up on.

"So you and Selphie were high school sweethearts too?" she asked me.

"Yeah. I ran into her my junior year. She was a freshman." I answered.

"I see. You know I never stopped thinking about you. Did you feel the same way?"

"All I can say is that I didn't forget about you. I mean, you were one of my friends in high school."

"That's not what I meant. Did you ever feel like we should've tried to stay together?" she asked.

Oh boy. "It wouldn't have worked, Chloe. We tried that remember?"

"I know but I still…" she trailed off as she sat down on a bench. I sat next to her. "I still have feelings for you. I always have."

"Thanks, but I've already got someone."

"Riku, you don't understand. You were my only friend in high school and everyone in college treats me like I'm anti-social." She said as she started to cry. I put my arms around her to comfort her and she leaned into me. "Since my parents moved to Radiant Garden, I don't have anyone. I just stayed here for college. I haven't even seen them for over a year!" she cried.

"I'm sorry. Life sucks sometimes. I wish I could help but I don't see how I can."

"You still care about me?" she asked.

"Yeah. I'm still your friend." I answered as I looked down at her in my arms.

At the moment I looked down she leaned up and kissed me. I had just started to kiss her back and immediately decided against it. I gently pushed away.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Chloe, I can't do this."

"You said you're still my friend. Can't we try again for something a little more than that?"

"No, because Selphie isn't just my friend. She's my fiancé." I answered.

"You're getting married?"

"Yeah. We're hoping New Year's." I answered.

"I'm sorry." She said as she turned away from me.

"It's okay." I turned her back around and hugged her. "I'll still always be your friend." I said as I kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks, I should probably be going though." She said as she got up and left.

I looked up to see Selphie, Naminé, and Olette coming toward me. They all looked angry.

"What was that?!" Selphie exclaimed.

Selphie's POV:

After lunch with Riku I went back to my dorm and saw Naminé and Olette playing DDR. After a while we decided to go to the park. We got some cocoa and walked around the park talking. Perfect for a Thursday afternoon.

"Hey isn't that your fiancé?" Olette asked me pointing across the park.

Naminé and I turned to look. Riku was sitting on a bench with Chloe.

"Who's he with?" Naminé asked.

"She's just an old friend of his from his earlier years of high school."

"That doesn't look like just friends, Selphie." Olette stated.

As I looked I saw Riku's arms around Chloe. They were kissing! I immediately looked away. No. He's not cheating on me he's just not. Riku isn't' like that. He wouldn't do that. I looked up again to see him kiss her on the cheek. How could he do that?!

I watched Chloe get up and walk off. I started running over there and realized Olette and Naminé were right behind me. I walked up to him knowing I was on the verge of tears.

"What was that?!" I exclaimed.

"Selphie, calm down. What are you talking about?"

"You had your arms around her and you kissed her!"

"Selphie, let me explain."

"Explain what? You told me she was your high school sweetheart before me! What did you decide you want to go back to her?!"

"Selphie! I would never cheat on you. I love you. You know that." Riku said.

"I'd hardly call that love." Olette defended me.

"Olette, you don't know what you're talking about." Riku said to her.

"She not the only one who thinks that, Riku." I stated. "I can't believe you kissed her." I started to cry.

"Selphie, please, just let me explain."

"There's no need to."

"Maybe you should hear him out." Naminé suggested.

"I don't want to know. I know what I saw. That's bad enough. This time is not like high school when Tifa tricked me into thinking you were cheating on me. I actually saw it!" I started to run away but Riku grabbed my wrist and turned me around.

"She kissed me and it was because she's unstable right now."

I tried to jerk out of his grip. "Let go of me."

"She's just going through a rough time right now and she needed a friend. I didn't kiss her back. I pushed her back and told her you're my fiancé. I would never hurt you, Selphie."

"Just let me go." I replied as I tried again to run.

"Please, Selphie." He turned me around and kissed me passionately. I lightly slapped him with my other hand and ran away.

A/N: Not again. Oh no. What have I done? Selphie just has to take it in. Hopefully everything will be fine. Please review!
