For the next several hours, Namine and Kairi were both up until nearly midnight, discussing the plans of Sora's embarrassment.
"Namine, please don't do this to him. He's still special to me. I understand that people have said I'm gross and that he wants to protect his reputation. I'll let him protect it!" Kairi's eyes were sad as Namine was typing away on her computer, adding more edits to the porno website.
Namine rolled her eyes. "Get real Kairi. He only wants the sex. What makes you think he really truly loves you? I mean, he was willing enough to leave all because of some stupid shit Seifer said."
Selphie and Olette groaned. The two girls had been fighting ever since Namine got on her laptop, costing the other two brunettes their lack of sleep.
"Would you two go to bed tomorrow? I have a chemistry test I need to prepare for. And that preparation requires a full night's rest. You have that test too, Namine." Olette pulled the covers over herself, trying to sleep.
Namine waved her off. "No, no. I don't need to study. I've got this."
Selphie sat up. "Namine has a point, I mean she is the smartest one out of us four."
Olette rolled her eyes.
Kairi was practically on her knees as she begged at Namine's side. "Namine don't. If you do, Sora will know it's us! Then everything will be revealed. The website, the photos, along with the blackmail for Vanitas."
Namine's typing slacked as she thought over Kairi's point. Vanitas had seen when she was at the boys' dorm, ready to serve Sora his end. "Ugh." She closed the laptop in frustration.
Kairi's violet eyes brightened. "Thanks Nami. I was worried that maybe you would go through with trying to humiliate him. I just wanna try and make it up to him. If he really loves me, I don't mind being in the shadows of his popular life."
This made the three remaining girls all give Kairi an astonished look. Even Selphie and Olette were shaken out of their attempted slumber.
"Are you fucking kidding me? That's stupid as hell Kairi. You shouldn't let Sora degrade you like that just because he thinks he has a popular life to maintain. Seriously, look around. Once high school is over, all his 'friends' and his 'social status' will be gone. It'll all of been for nothing. Because you know what comes after high school? The real world. Jobs, college. Careers." Namine crossed her arms, furious with how the red-head was taking the situation.
"Well it matters to him right now. And if that's what he wants, then he can do it. Because I love him." Kairi's violet eyes were burning.
Selphie and Olette rolled their eyes at Kairi's foolish words.
"God, Kairi...you're gonna be one of those girls who will be depressed the rest of their lives because they pick the shittiest people to date. Unless if he shows you some real respect, he is not your man." Olette looked at Kairi, fearful for her decisions.
Kairi rolled her eyes. "You guys are all stupid. You wouldn't know anything about love anyways, you guys aren't dating anybody!"
Namine's blue orbs were ice cold. "Kairi. We're giving you life support. We know how this is gonna end. And it'll be bad. Like Olette said, unless if Sora shows any type of commitment, he is not the guy for you to date. He will break you, use you, and crush you. From the sound of his whole 'dilemma' about keeping his 'reputation' straight, he doesn't sound like a good guy. But you're too stupid to find out anyways."
"Well guess what Namine? If you hadn't been stupid, and had just checked your phone, maybe you wouldn't of caused this mess. It would've been better if we could fuck without me knowing he doesn't want to be seen in public with me. He is my world right now. I don't know what I would do without him. He can break me all he wants, he knows I love him, and he loves me too." Kairi crossed her arms, confident that her own decision was right.
Namine lost it. "How DARE you even say those words to me. You know what happened to my mom. You know how powerful they are. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE THROUGH THAT AT NIGHT?! YOU DON'T KNOW BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T WALKED IN MY SHOES!" Namine's face was red with anger.
"Damn it Namine, if only you had picked up the phone, she'd be okay!"
The familiar words echoed in the pale blonde's head as Kairi's violet eyes softened with fear. That night had been the worst night of Namine's life. Her innocence was taken away completely.
"Namine..." Kairi's voice softened. "I'm sorry, I completely forgot."
Namine turned away, the anger already taking over. "Don't talk to me Kairi. Talk to Sora instead. I mean, after all, he's just your world, isn't he?"
Olette hopped out of her bed, resting her arm on Namine's shoulder. "Maybe you better think about your priorities first, Kairi. And just think about what we've been trying to tell you."
Kairi's anger was back once again. "Well it's her fault, she walked in!"
"Kairi stop. Namine isn't okay right now. She doesn't need you making things worse. To be fair, you guys weren't supposed to be together in the same dorm. That's really risky." Selphie sat up, looking sadly at Namine.
Namine's eyes were closed as she faced away from the scene behind her. I wish I could forget...but it's always there..
Kairi rolled her eyes, climbing into her own bed. She felt defeat as both brunettes talked Namine through the situation so they could all go to bed.
Kairi, Selphie, and Olette had all known the damaging things Namine went through. They all knew about the fateful incident. It made Namine so insecure for the rest of her life, and the girls had learned to accept her. They needed a little muscle in their group of friends, and Namine was the one.
Kairi rolled over as she stared off, looking at the wall. Sora...I do love you, and I want you to know that. I just want us together...
Tears stained Kairi's pillow as she drifted off.
RxNxRxNxRxNxR
The next day was sullen for everyone. It had been raining all day, and the clouds made the atmosphere outside the campus dark and brooding. There were many tests that day, causing morale to go down for almost every student in the school.
Namine propped her chin up with her hand as she tapped her pencil on the wood surface of her desk. She stared at her finished chemistry test, already knowing she had aced it. Selphie and Olette were doing hand gestures to each other every time the teacher wasn't looking, signalling what answers were what.
Kairi sat in the back of class, struggling with her test. She glared at the back of Namine's head. Stupid Namine..she probably has already finished. Not to mention she ruined me and Sora..
The grudge the two girls had set between each other was fresh the next day. Kairi hated the blonde more than Namine hated her.
Namine's legs were aching for movement just as the bell rang, signalling the end of class. The blonde got up, stretched, and turned in her test confidently. She was quite happy to see her newest enemy Kairi, sullenly turning hers in as she was reluctant about her answers.
Kairi tried to catch up with Namine in the hallway. "So Namine..still pretty mad about me and Sora? Because I'm planning on making up with him, and we'll just live our relationship in secret. Looks like your advice was a sham."
Namine rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up and stop acting like you know everything Kairi. I know we're still gonna be friends. We can't hold grudges long enough to be considered 'enemies'. If you don't wanna heed my warnings and you wanna make stupid decisions, go ahead."
"It's not a stupid decision Namine. Me and Sora will get through high school, and then we can live our lives together."
"What about high school reunions? Because then you guys will both get invited, and if you two show up together, then his old 'reputation' will finally be tarnished." Namine stared at the red-head, waiting for her answer.
Kairi thought it through a minute. "We'll just go separately."
"Pftt, yeah, good idea." Namine clutched her books closely as she headed with the rest of her friends to the lunch room.
Namine sat down with her lunch, digging in as Roxas sat down. She gave him a smile.
"Hey Roxas."
Roxas's blinked at her a few moments before replying. "Um..hey."
Namine started chewing slower, detecting suspicion. "Everything okay?"
Roxas nodded. "I'm gonna ask you something later...but..I'll probably have to text you. We're gonna get piled with homework today and I can't afford to stall."
Namine swallowed her food which now tasted stale at the sound of his words. "Oh..um...right."
Roxas ate his lunch quietly as he pondered his thoughts. He just couldn't bring himself to ask her face to face. He knew it would have to be over the phone.
Kairi sat down quietly by Namine, avoiding Sora as the brunette sat next to Roxas. Roxas looked up at Namine, giving her a questioning look. Namine just mouthed the words "later".
Selphie and Olette took their usual spots while chattering, bringing relief to the awkward silence that was lingering as Sora and Kairi put up barriers to one another.
"So...you um..you know...do that thing for me?" Roxas was talking quietly, trying not to draw attention to the two blondes.
Namine felt her lunch go stale again. In the events of Sora and all these unexpected pop-ups, Namine had completely forgot about the plan she was supposed to come up with as an excuse for Roxas's note. "I..um...I'm planning on it real soon, it's been hard when I don't have classes with her."
Roxas's nodded, understanding. "Well it's no rush. I mean obviously it would be nice if it was before the double date she was invited to, but if it's hard, it's okay." Roxas's cheeks were going red as he looked down at his food.
Namine's knuckles were turning white as she grasped her sandwich tightly, practically murdering it. Aqua...damn you..
Namine knew it was pointless to feel angry with the blue-haired girl, especially since she didn't even know the situation at hand. Namine stared at the boy in front of her. She desperately wanted to explain her feelings to him, but she knew she just couldn't. Not with his feelings lingering towards Aqua. Her time was up, it was too late for her to try.
"So Kairi, I have a question about this math homework. I was thinking maybe I could ask you about it after school, you know? Once we have all our classes over." Sora's confident blue eyes looked up as Kairi's hand froze from picking over her salad with her fork.
Roxas's stopped in the middle of eating his sandwich, staring in disbelief at the brunette. Sora had actually asked Kairi a question instead of avoiding her.
"S...sure.." Kairi slowly looked up, in disbelief herself. Sora's confidence wavered as Namine directed her piercing gaze to him. He hadn't forgotten about the night before.
Even Selphie and Olette had stopped their meaningless chatter, exchanging confused looks between Sora and Kairi as they stared each other down. Sora opened his mouth to say more, but lost the words.
Kairi just stared at him, happiness filling her. Sora actually had the respect to talk to her, and that meant so much to her.
Roxas smiled, clapping the brunette boy on the back as Kairi got up to throw away the remains of her lunch. "Well, looks like you took my advice."
Sora gulped, looking at Namine. "Yeah...advice.."
Namine narrowed her eyes at Sora, wanting to scare him as much as possible. "Don't get too comfortable Sora. Just because you have common sense now doesn't mean you're not capable of screwing things up even now.
Sora's blue orbs looked terrified as Namine pierced him with hers. Roxas looked back and forth between the two, completely oblivious as to what had happened last night.
"Namine, calm down. Sora's got this, right?" Roxas pat him on the back again. "I'll keep him in line. We'll make sure he doesn't fuck this one up. Since he seems to have a habit of it."
Sora winced as Roxas tightened his grip on Sora's shoulder blade. "Y...yes."
Namine gave a final glare at Sora, then looked back down, poking more lettuce onto her fork and shoveling it into her mouth. Selphie and Olette were striking up girly conversation to the pale blonde while Kairi was in the bathroom.
"Do you think she's gonna be able to trust him? I mean look at him. He's practically a joke." Selphie crossed her arms, glaring at Sora. He hung his head.
Olette surveyed Sora as though he were an item up clothing, her eyes traveling from his head to his feet. "Mm. Sora, you do know how to be civilized, right? I mean, you disappointed our girl, Kairi. Surely you understand this Roxas."
Roxas nodded, his blonde spikes waving in the air. "Of course. I gave him a thorough talking to yesterday after he pissed Kairi off. She never looked so upset, Sora. You better learn how to fix this. It's not a game. Girls aren't toys."
Selphie and Olette applauded Roxas professionally. "Wow Roxas. You actually know how to not be a douche." Selphie's bright green eyes were sparkling. "Now if only Tidus would pay attention to me."
Roxas followed Selphie's gaze over to the table across the room. Tidus was sitting with a group of friends, his trademark grin evident as he laughed at a joke that had just been told to him. "You like that joke? Oh man, Selphie. He's nothing."
Selphie sat up, the dreamy look in her eyes gone. "Roxas! Maybe you aren't as civilized as I thought you were." She angrily got up, her small curls at the ends of her hair bouncing.
Olette rolled her eyes. "She hasn't been able to take her eyes off of him. I tell her she's wasting her time, Tidus never even looks at her."
Roxas raised an eyebrow. "You're one to talk, Olette. I see what you're trying with Hayner every day. You always try to talk to him in the hallway. Sounds like you have a case of your own troubles."
Olette glared, putting down the carrot she was about to devour. "Thanks Roxas."
Roxas shrugged. "I mean, you don't have to be mad. He likes you back. He just has issues with relationships. He always screws it up somehow. Mainly like Sora." Sora hung his head.
Olette squealed, drawing attention to several different people around them. "Really?! Why doesn't he say!"
"I told you, he's weird. He just has his quirks. Don't get me to try and make it work." Roxas went back to eating his sandwich as Kairi returned from the bathroom.
Olette was biting her lip, dreamily staring in Hayner's direction across the room. "Uh..what's her problem?" Kairi jabbed her finger towards Olette.
"The same thing you all have. The love blues." Namine buried her nose in her history book, doing some last minute studying.
RxNxRxNxRxNxR
Namine stared at the ceiling as she laid in her bed. She had finished the school day, managing to have no homework from all the tests they had encountered that day.
"What am I gonna do for you, Roxas?" Namine put her heads on her head. How was she to go about dealing with the whole Aqua and Roxas situation? Namine knew that it was already late to give the note, seeing as it was now ashes.
Selphie was texting away on her orange phone about the newest gossip. "Stalling won't help Namine. I say you make up your own fake note and give it to her. Boys usually have terrible handwriting, so you can probably just wing it."
Namine sat up. "And gossiping more and more each day isn't gonna make people like you!"
Selphie was about to offer a rebuttal but was interrupted by Namine's phone going off. The pale blonde picked up her phone, seeing the ID labeled as Roxas's number. She read the text:
Hey...do you happen to know more about that porn website between Riku and Vanitas than everyone intends you do?
Namine felt her face go white. Selphie looked up, noticing her disturbed expression. "What's your problem?"
"He...knows." Namine swallowed, staring at her phone. Olette practically jumped up from the news. She had been writing in her diary, and had drawn an accidental harsh line across her neatly written words after hearing the problem. Selphie and Olette crowded around Namine's phone.
"Shit..you have to reply now. He has an iPhone, he can see when it says you've seen the message. He knows you've read it." Selphie pointed to the little "seen at 3:20" icon below the message as an example from their past texts.
Namine grit her teeth in frustration. "Fuck..guys you have to help me think of what to say!"
Olette chewed her lip. "First, ask him how he found out. There might be a snitch."
Namine quickly typed her reply:
How did you find out? You don't know half the story..
The three girls waited in anticipation as it said Roxas had seen the message. They waited for the bubble that indicating Roxas was typing to finish:
Vanitas was being a pussy and begged for me to scan the 'mysterious' number through some contacts in my phone. I lied though and said I didn't know. Just so we could watch him suffer, lol
Namine and the two brunettes breathed a sigh of relief as they learned Vanitas had no idea of the identity of the true blackmailer. They waited as Roxas typed another message:
But why though? Did he do something extremely horrible for you to result to this?
Namine and the girls quickly discussed what they should say next. Namine typed out the message:
He deserves what he's getting. Have you seen the way he treats everyone? He's a complete asshole. I was given an opportunity to humiliate him, and I'm using it. I gave him a warning, he only did it to himself. Then his mistakes resulted into me creating the website.
Namine chewed her lip nervously. Roxas typed back, sending his message:
I get it, it's okay lol. I'm completely with you on this, I won't let the word slip. But I wanna know how you were able to get the pictures. Do you have an inside source?
Roxas's next question threw the girls for a loop.
"Now what? He's expecting an answer and he might get suspicious if we don't reply soon!" Selphie started panicking.
Namine started to type the truth about their secret discovery in the closet when Olette stopped her. "Namine no, if we tell him, he's gonna think we're weird. Like we were purposely spying on them. Especially when they're naked."
Namine's fingers faltered as she considered the danger. "Guys, if we don't do this now, it'll never be done. We need to tell him the truth. Even if he thinks we're weird. It'll be okay." Namine bit her lip, thinking about Roxas spying through the hole in the girls' locker room.
She typed again:
...there's a hole in the closet next to your guys' locker room. We can see almost everything perfectly, so we took pictures of Riku and Vanitas. He had no intentions of spying on any of you guys, we just wanted to make sure Vanitas would pay..
The girls waited in anticipation as Roxas read the message, then waited a bit for replying.
"We're ruined. It's over." Olette flopped on her bed, feeling like her hopes with Hayner would be ruined since Roxas couldn't provide help. Selphie sat on her phone again, resuming her texting.
Namine's phone buzzed:
I guess we're even then. I can't really be mad when I've looked into your girls' showers too. Which if you wouldn't mind, you should let me know when Aqua usually showers..
Namine rolled her eyes, giggling. She quickly hid the message away from the view of the two curious brunettes. She couldn't risk letting them know that Roxas had used the hole to spy for his own purposes.
"He just said that he accepted the fact that we used it strictly to sabotage Vanitas. He said it's all good." Namine looked at the two eager brunettes, trying to get them to calm down as they asked eagerly.
"Yay! We can still spy on all the hot guys!" Olette and Selphie high fived each other.
Namine typed a reply to Roxas:
I'll have to let you know when she's on her way to the shower, lol. But you have to help us whenever Riku and Vanitas are in the showers. Our website needs new material
Namine smiled, knowing her and Roxas had built a small bond. Over something sexual, of course.
Roxas replied:
Lmao, will do. I've gotta go. Laterz
Namine typed her goodbyes as she set her phone down, smiling. She would have to make sure to shower whenever Aqua would. Maybe she could change Roxas's opinion on who he liked better.
"Hey, have any of you guys seen Kairi since school got out?" Olette looked around their dorm. The girls had just now noticed the red-head was missing.
Little did they know, the red-head was laying sprawled on the cold concrete floor of the janitor's closet next to the boys' locker room, trying to contain her moans as Sora shoved his shaft deep inside her warmth. The two were moaning simultaneously, trying to be quiet.
Namine strained her ears as she thought she heard some type of moaning. She asked Selphie and Olette, but both brunettes shrugged after hearing the moaning die away. Namine shrugged her own shoulders, shoving her earbuds into her ears as she selected a song from her playlist casually.
Sora and Kairi gasped as they released together, once again rekindling their feelings for each other, not caring that it would most likely end up being a lethal relationship.
