CHAPTER 3 - It's only natural
"GOOD JOB, TIDUS!"
"THANKS, COACH!" yelled back Tidus. It was P.E. class, and he had just scored a wonderful goal. Sora stared at him in awe; Tidus was really good at sports, just like Riku. He couldn't help but imagine the two of them in a fight - who would win?
"But I'd still prefer if this was blitzball." Tidus told Sora from his spot on the camp. Tidus must have noticed the worried look on Sora's face, because he then said "Don't worry. You'll do just fine. Go there and kick everyone's as-"
"SORA! Come here, it's your turn!" informed Cloud, their P.E. teacher.
"Aw no..." Sora said, looking at Tidus. The boy gave him the thumbs up, and Sora felt a bit more confident. He headed for the middle of the camp - they were practicing soccer passes and scores. He was never really good at any sport - except maybe sweord fighting, but they didn't have that at school - so he was damn right nervous. What if I make a fool of myself?
Tidus passed the ball to him, and he passed to the boy on his right. Good, everything is going fine.
But in that moment he heard a girl screaming on the other side of the fence, where the girls were having their own P.E. class (voleyball) with Tifa.
"Yuffie! Look what you did to the poor girl!" one of the girls whined. That Yuffie, she's always making someone get hurt...
"Aw, sorry there, Kairi, didn't see ya." came Yuffie's voice. What??? Kairi was the one who got hurt?
"SORA, WATCH OUT!" someone yelled, but too late - a ball, which came fom nowhere, hit Sora square in the face really hard. For a moment, everything was unfocused. The coach came to him and asked if he was okay - but little colored starts prevented him from seeing anything.
"Someone, get him to the infirmary!"
Sora was carried to the infirmary, and after the school nurse made sure his nose wasn't broken, he got out and saw Yuffie sitting outside in the waiting seats.
"Heya mate!" she said.
"What are you doing here?" Sora asked, looking for bruises in her or something like that.
"Oh well, you see, there was a tiiiiiiiiiny little accident," she hold her fingers really close to indicate that, " with a girl while we were playing, so I had to take her here. Go figure." Yuffie finished, shaking her head.
Sora remembered the scene - Kairi was the one who got hurt. He immediatly asked "Is Kairi okay?"
"I think so, yeah" she said, eyeing him suspiciously. Suddenly, there was a mischievous grin growing in her face as she asked "Why do you care so much?"
He blushed a bit. What was she planning? "Wha-what? What do you mean? I-I don't care that much, I ju-just thought..."
Her grin only got bigger.
Oh no. Here it comes.
"SORA HAS A CRUSH! SORA HAS A CRUUUUSH!!!" Yuffie started to sing loud enough for the entire floor to hear.
"Psssst, Yuffie! I do not!" Sora said desperatly. Do I? Oh well, I don't need Yuffie telling the whole school that, truth or not!
"Yep, you do."
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"You were blushing. You know what that means?" Yuffie said, still grinning, with a teasing tone. "It means you DO have a crush. Do not argue with me! A crush on Kairi! Well, no wonder, she's pretty, intelligent, and nice. There's nothing to be ashamed about! It's only natural, y' know."
Sora thought about that for a minute. It's only natural. Yes, it was, he could perfectly like Kairi - but they hardly knew each other, they had only one conversation until now and besides, he wasn't what people would call attractive. He was cute, but that's it. At least, in Sora's opinion. To his surprise, Yuffie answered his unasked question.
"I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, I'll help you get to her." she said, winking at him. "Trust me."
Sora could only say "Thanks.". He would have to trust Yuffie. After all, she knew his secret already. Of all the people to trust, it had to be her...
In that moment, the door to the infirmary opened, and Kairi got out. "Don't worry Yuffie, it was nothing bad." she said, and noticing Sora, she added "Oh hi again Sora! Are you okay? The nurse told me you got hit by a ball right in the face."
Damn. "Yeah, but it's fine now." he answered.
The three of them stood there silent. Yuffie slapped herself mentally, and made a note to herself to work on Sora's initiative skills.
"Soooo, hey Sora, why don't you tell Kairi about that party on Saturday?" she asked, hoping Sora would carry on. But seeing the confused look on his face, she pressed again, "You know, *that* party! The one you were planning to make!"
Sora stared at Yuffie blankly, and asked "What are you talking about?". Kairi watched confused.
Yuffie discretly stepped on Sora's foot and then he got it. "Oooooh, *that* party? Right, yeah," he turned to Kairi, "Hey Kairi, we are making a party on Saturday."
"Oh, that's nice." Kairi said.
"Invite her, you freak!" Yuffie murmured to Sora.
"Ah, yes, would you like to come?" Sora asked her. She nodded.
"Oh, I would be really glad to. Where is it?"
"Ah - well - where is it again, Yuffie?"
"In the Moonlight Club, do you know it?" said Yuffie, smiling to Kairi.
"Yes, I know which one." she then looked at her watch. "Oh my God, we will be late for our last class! What time should I be in that club?"
"Eight o'clock." Yuffie answered.
Kairi waved goodbye and rushed to their classroom, leaving Sora and Yuffie behind. "What's this Moonlight Club?" he asked her.
"You'll see." she answered with a grin.
Sora didn't like that mischievous grin at all.

A/N: Heeey, another chappy. I honestly didn't like this one much, it was pure dialogue and no fun... I'll try to make up for it in the next one. ^_^ So, while you wait, how about reviewing? It makes me VERY happy, you know? And happy author, better chappies, quicker updates. So what's there to lose? Hehehe...
Anyways, in the next chapter, we'll get to know more of Kairi's friends (Did you guess who they are already?) and Yuffie, Tidus and Riku will try to help Sora with the Kairi situation. Don't miss it! =)
