Sora's P.O.V



I was with Riku because he woke me up early. I started grumbling about having to wake up early. I started grumbling about having to. Riku looked down and said, "Stop being grumpy. I thought you liked waking up early to be surrounded by girls." I glared up at him and yelled, "why, would I do that?" I would rather be sleeping;" there was a smirk on Riku's face. He then said, "Then why do you?" I retorted with an, "huh?" He snorted and said, "Why? Why do you gat up every morning to come with me to school to check out the chicks?" I turned away and said, "don't have to tell you nothing." He snorted again and retorted with a, "Yeah right."



I thought ' why do I care?' I was leaning against a tree while Riku was flirting with some girls. I felt something in my chest but dismissed it as nothing. Then suddenly I saw a guy come up to me. When he was really close he gave me a sweet smile and said, "Hi I'm a new student. My name's Haku Shinogu. What's your name?" I blushed thinking he was kind of cute. I thought out of shock, 'Cute? He's cute, I guess. Does that mean I'm gay? I guess that's kind of why I'm attracted to Riku. God, this is pathetic I fell for my best friend, this isn't good. Oh well this guy looks interested in me.'



I was still blushing when I said, "My name's Sora Narita," I gave him a shy smile. Then he said "who's that?" I was confused so I said "Eh?" I then looked behind me to see that Riku was looking at us. I turned my head back to Haku and smiled. I then said, "He's Riku, my friend." He gave me another charming smile and said, "nothing more, eh?" I didn't answer and I didn't want to. It would hurt too much. Anyways the bell rang so I couldn't answer.

He was still smiling and he said, "I'll see you later, okay?" I nodded still blushing at the thought of actually talking to this guy again. I felt a thump and my hands flew to protect my head. I looked up and saw Riku, his hand still hovering near my head. I wasn't sure if he was happy about my new friend. He then said, "You looked happy and your flushed," he rose and eyebrow. I shrugged my shoulders and said nothing.

We started walking to class, it was a silent walk. Out of no where he asked, "What's his name?" I looked at him with an confused face and said, "Haku," he just nodded. So he wouldn't get suspicious of me I asked, "did you get another date?" It hurt me to say that but somehow in my heart I wanted Riku to be happy even if it was with a girl and not me. He shook his head and said, "But, I got a new girlfriend."

I was shocked, this was his first girlfriend. Maybe it was that or maybe it was from all the emotion that I was feeling all at once. All I did was say a meek 'oh' because I couldn't trust my mouth or voice to say anything without it sounding watery. We departed at a hall and went to our separate homerooms.

On my way there I thought 'I guess it was time to stop seeing Riku in that light and I should just move on to other possibilities, like Haku!' I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that no one was in the halls anymore. when I got to my homeroom, Haku was with the teacher at the front of the classroom. The teacher got really mad and would have given me a detention if it wasn't for Haku who stopped her and asked her id I could be his guide. She smiled at him and said, "Yes." She also assigned his seat next to mine in the back.



On our way to our seats I asked for his schedule. As he was walking he took it out of his back pocket. I looked through it and saw that the other classes we had together were also with Riku. One of them was P.E., which was next.



After class we walked to the boy's locker room to change into our sweats, or P.E. clothes. I introduced him to the P.E. teacher, and the teacher gave him a locker near mine. Luckily he had baggy black shorts with a baggy white shirt. I was stuck with black spandex and a skintight white shirt. It looked good on me but it just left no room to imagine with. Girls always whistle at me because they like the view of my arse.

As I was walking to roll call Riku came up behind me, he said, "I saw you with that guy again." I blushed and said, "Yeah I'm his guide for the day," he narrowed his eyes. Then he said, "Did you volunteer for the job?" I gave him a look and said, "No." His eyes were still narrowed as he sat down. "NARITA," hn.. I turned around, the teacher called me. He continued with "You go detention," I'm sure my jaw dropped. I stuttered out a "why?" He said, "Because you're not at your number. You're talking to Riku." I sighed and walked to my number.



Today in class we were playing basketball. It was two against two. On my team was Riku and on the opposing team it was Wakka and Tidus. I was getting tired, and was tired of all the catcalls and compliments that Riku was getting. All of sudden there was the loudest catcall and the person yelled, "Move that nice ass, Sora," Wakka dropped the ball and I took it. I shot it and my team won the game.

I was wiping my face with a towel when Riku came over. He said, "You know the only reason we won the game was because that person yelled out that compliment at you." I nodded and said, "But I don't know why he dropped that ball. You were getting lots of compliments and that didn't change anything," he narrowed his eyes. It seems like that's been happening a lot. he then said, "You didn't know?" I gave him a confused look and said, "Know what?" He sighed and said, "That voice?" I wasn't getting what he was talking about. I said, "What about the voice? Riku just tell me." He said, "Fine, okay. Well that voice was Haku," I dropped the water bottle I was drinking from. I blushed all over. Riku was giving me a suspicious look.



I was in detention when someone came in. I looked at the person and saw that it was Haku. He sat next to me. I asked him what he was doing here and he said, "Because I said the word ass when I yelled at you during P.E." I was flushed again, it felt like I was doing that a lot lately. he just smiled and I said, "Do you want to go somewhere after this?" he looked surprised but all he did was smile again. He then asked, "Where?" I thought about it then I said, "What about to that island where most of the coconut trees are?" He smiled and said, "Sure that would be great place to hang out at."



We were walking down that tree to the island and talking about video games when Riku found us. It looked like he was pissed but I don't know why. He gave us a sneer and said, "well aren't we having a nice chitchat," I took a step back. Then he said, "Come on Sora, I'll walk you home." I didn't budge from my spot, who was he to tell me what to do. He then said, "Sora?" I shook my head and said, "Sorry Riku but I was going to hang out with, Haku." His jaw dropped and said, "Where are you going to hang out?" Haku blurted out, "The island with all the coconuts." Riku narrowed his eyes and said, "Was I asking you? Huh, new boy was I? No I wasn't."



Just then a girl yelled, "Riku" really loud and latched on to Riku's arm. I winced at the voice. I looked at Riku and saw him put his arm around her. I felt something hurt in my chest looking at the sight. I quickly spun around and took hold of Haku's hand. I started pulling him towards the island, we were walking hand in hand. When we got there my hand was still in his. With a grin he let go of my hand and jumped onto the bended tree (the one Riku's always sitting on in the beginning of the game). He then patted the space next to it and asked if I wanted to sit next to him. I jumped up and landed next to him. We started talking again about stuff, like music or TV shows.

We were having a nice time until someone not wanted came along.

Riku and his girlfriend came. Riku had his arm around her shoulders. I winced again, then Riku said, "That was rude, you know? I was still talking to you before you ran off." I just shrugged my shoulders, I was also shivering since it was really cold. Something draped over my shoulders, it was Haku's jacket. I looked at him and he was smiling down at me, I blushed and whispered a thanks.



Riku got really angry all of a sudden and yelled out "You Fags," we looked at him. His girlfriend was really laughing. I was shocked. He then said, "You guys disgust me." I felt cold inside, I shedded the jacket and jumped into the water. I swam far out, I kept dunking myself thinking I could get rid of their laughter that way. I stayed under water, I think I stayed to long cause I lost conscience.

In the morning I woke up, my mom told me everything that happened and that Haku saved me. I was thankful that he did and blushed. My mom yelled and bickered about how irresponsible I am but I knew she was just worried.
