Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry for not updating in a while, I've been kind of busy with...stuff. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter, I really enjoyed writing it. Enjoy!


The Geek And The Cheerleader - Chapter 12

Well, it's official. I'm going to the dance with Lightning. To be honest, it was a pretty spontaneous decision, I mean, I couldn't have said no to her. I'd have no good reason to anyway. Grr...stupid computer. Why are you so slow!?

Finally. Now to tell Ventus and Riku.

"You're going with Lightning!?" Ventus shouted, a little too loudly. I sighed. Why is he making such a big deal of this anyway? It's not like we don't know each other, and she's a nice person, though she can be possessive at times.

"Yeah, she asked me like five minutes ago, right to my face. What could I say apart from yes anyway?" I replied. I guess I have to forget about going to the dance with Aqua. Speaking of, I think I'm gonna call her in a while. I want to talk to her anyway.

"Hey Riku, guess what?" Ventus said enthusiastically.

"What did you do Sora? Did you do that again?" Riku sighed, laughing a bit.

"No, that was just one time, and the police made it very clear that if I did it again I would get arrested." I was really trying to forget about that too... "Anyway, who have you guys asked to the dance?" I would be surprised if they both actually got dates.

"Uh...I was going to ask Namine, but...yeah." Ventus frowned. I guess he's too afraid to ask her, which is weird since Ventus is usually confident.

"Xion hates me, remember?" Riku frowned. So my only two guy friends won't be coming with me to a crowded place...full of...people? I feel a little dizzy.

"You guys have to come, I can't go by myself." I pleaded, seriously hoping that I wouldn't be alone.

"You have Lightning, right. So you'll be fine. Besides, we can't go to the dance without dates, that would be weird." Ventus pouted. Why doesn't he just ask Namine to go with him!? It's obvious that she likes him, so I don't know why he's so afraid.

"I'll think of a way. I've gotta go guys, see you on Monday."

I guess I need to go shopping for a suit to wear tomorrow, but the mall is always crowded. Oh well, I'll just have to make it quick. That reminds me, I should probably text Aqua.

Um...lets see...'Hey, what's up?' should be okay. Now comes the hardest part, waiting for a reply.

After about an hour of waiting I finally got a reply. Are all girls usually like this? 'Nm, you?' It took you a whole hour to come up with two words? Seriously!? Why do I even bother. It was her that told me to text her in the first place so you would think that she would think that she would at least reply quickly.

'Fine thanks, you?' I replied, hoping that it wouldn't take her another answer to reply with 'good'.

'Good. Um, I'm just wondering, but are you busy tomorrow?' It only took ten minutes this time. 9 minutes too long... Am I busy tomorrow? I've gotta go shopping, but other than that...

'Not really, why?' It would be much easier if we talked over the phone instead of texting, but I'd be too nervous to.

'Well, do you want to do something together?' She wants to meet up? Outside of school? This seems highly suspicious. To play it safe, or to give in...screw it.

'Sure, how about we go to the mall? I've gotta pick some stuff up anyway." Wait, won't it be a bit awkward to go shopping for the dance with the person who you kind of secretly want to go to the dance with? Plus, what was with that kiss? If Lightning or Zack found out they would kill me.

'Sounds good. I'll meet you in front of the mall at 9.' 9!? I was thinking more like 2. I've never been up at 9 on a weekend before. Well, I guess it's okay, I still need to ask her about earlier on, I'll do it tomorrow.


Yawn...how do people get up at this time in the morning? 8:30? I mean, come on. Today I need to get a suit for next Friday.

After getting ready and rushing to the mall, I realised that I was late by 10 minutes. Girls don't care if guys are later though, right? I looked around for a moment, but then I saw her. She was dressed in a white top with a pink skirt. Excuse me for this, but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaym. She looks so cute!

"Uh, hey." I said sheepishly, feeling kinda embarrassed seeing her outside of school. She looked in my direction and smiled, which made me blush like mad.

"You're late." She frowned. Wow, talk about a change of tune...

"Yeah, sorry about that, my alarm clock broke..." I lied, really, I just slept in later than I was planning to.

"It's okay. Lets go." Aqua smiled and took hold of my hand. My hand feels so happy right now! Wait...does that even make sense...? Does it!? oh well, in short I'm pretty happy right about now.

If I didn't know any better...I'd think this was a date, but that'd never happen. She's got Zack after all, but despite that she still kissed me. Does she like me now or something!? I'm so confused my head is starting to hurt...

First, Aqua and I went to get something to eat because I said I wanted to talk to her about something. That doesn't seem suspicious does it...? When we sat down I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the awkward conversation which was inevitable.

"Aqua, I need to ask you about that kiss." Pretty blunt, I know. Upon hearing this, Aqua blushed and looked away. So cute.

"Well...I kissed you because I...Lightning did it so...I wanted to..." Well that answer wasn't completely vague or anything! Sheesh. I guess I just need to ask the question differently.

"Okay, well let me ask you this: why did you kiss me when you already have a boyfriend." Aqua stuttered a bit, trying to answer, but it seemed like she couldn't find an answer for my question.

"...Forget about that for now. Lets just go shopping." Aqua stood up, grabbed my hand and dragged me off.

My smoothie! I can't just leave it behind! Smothieeeeeeeeeee! Despite my struggles, it was too late. I couldn't save the smoothie which Aqua dragged me away from mid sip. Smoothie, you will be missed...

Aqua dragged me to a clothes store, and ran around the store grabbing clothes while I just stood there like some weirdo with everyone around me staring at me. I'm so uncomfortable... "Sora, I'm just gonna quickly try these on, wait for a little bit, okay? "She smiled as she ran into a nearby changing room.

10 minutes sure is a long time when you're in a woman's store standing right outside a changing room looking awfully suspicious because you can't stop sweating because everyone is looking at you. Someone please save me...

"Sora?" My attention shifted towards the changing rooms, and my eyes fell on Aqua. She looked absolutely stunning. She was wearing a dark blue dress which perfectly matched her hair, and high heels which made her look even taller than me than she already did before. I feel so little...

She blushed and fidgeted a little. "Well, what do you think?" What do I think? What do I think? What do I say? Logically thinking, I have 3 choices here:

1.) You look great.

2.) That dress makes you look fat (Not recommended).

3.) Just stutter awkwardly.

Option three it is. After stuttering a little, I regained my composure, or what's left of it at least.

"You look stunning." Nice one Sora! Way to play it cool! I'm such a smooth talker.

Aqua blushed even more deeply, but smiled directly at me. "That's the first time anyone has ever said that to me."

"Not even Zack?" I asked, dumbfounded. She shook her head. What a jerk, he really doesn't treat her like he should...Grr...it makes me so angry...

"Well he should say it more often, because you're beautiful." Did I just say that out loud? Because that just sounded like a love confession to me. It's okay, calm down Sora, she probably didn't even notice...

I felt two hands on my cheeks, and looked up to see Aqua getting closer...and closer...oh god please don't get any closer... and then she kissed me. In public. Right in a bunch of middle aged women I've never seen in my life soaking the drama of the situation up like sponges. One woman even said 'it's just like out of my favourite book'. Yeah probably 50 shades of grey, pervert.

I heard something hit the ground a few metres away from me, and my eyes wandered over to it, mid kiss. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh noooooooooooooooooo!

"S-sora...?" Lightning whispered, looking straight at me. Talk about being caught in the act.

Well, if one thing has been made apparent, it's that I'm completely, and utterly,

SCREWED.


So, how was this chapter? What will Sora do now? Please review, and I'll try to update soon. Hope to see you guys in chapter 13! Peace out!
