CHAPTER 4 - The Giant Finger of Doom
The next day Sora woke up thinking about the day before. So much had happened only on his first day at that high school. He had made new friends, beat his own record in making a fool of himself, and had a crush on the prettiest and most popular girl in their year.
After getting dressed, eating breakfast and saying goodbye to his mother, Sora got in the boat that would take him to the main island, as Riku had already gone ("You're such a lazy bum, Sora! I won't be waiting for you forever!"). It was still Tuesday, but now he felt insecure for Saturday. What the heck is Yuffie planning to do? And what is that Moonlight Club?
He got out of the boat and was heading to the high school. His mind being elsewhere, Sora didn't notice someone calling for him.
"Hey there, Sora!". It was Riku running to meet Sora.
But Sora continued walking towards the school, "Oh hi Ri-", and forgot to stop, colliding with a pole. "Owww... how many times have I got hurt in the head already..." Sora whined.
"Geez Sora, be more careful while walking!" said Riku chuckling.
"B-but it wasn't my fault!" Sora looked quickly to his sides as if to spot the guilty person. "Did you see who it was?" he asked Riku when he saw nobody around.
"Sora...that was a pole, for God's sake." Riku explained, sweatdropping.
"Oh, right," Sora turned to the pole. "Sorry there, Mr. Pole."
Riku felt like slapping Sora in the head for being so dum, but in that exact moment something grabbed him from behind through his neck and Riku gasped.
"Helloooooo dear Riku~~!" said a squeaky feminine voice. Riku rolled his eyes as the girl dangled behind him while grabbing his neck, since she was so small. Sora took a look and saw that it was a brunette girl from Riku's class, bouncing up and down.
"Ack-no-not-you-again-Selphie!" Riku managed to choke out, obviously suffocating from the girl's weight.
"Aww, you're no fun!" said the bouncy girl disappointed. Spotting Sora, she screamed "Oh my God! Is that your friend, Riku? Oooh, he's so cute! Can I hug him? Can I? Can I?" she asked Riku, looking like a five-year-old. Riku just mumbled "Whatever" as he was still recovering from the suffocation.
Sora frowned his eyebrows at his friend, but before he could do anything the girl jumped on him and both fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Heee, now *you're* fun!" she said, poking Sora's cheek slightly, "That one there," she pointed at Riku, "Is always so moody it's not nice to play with him." Riku scowled at her, but she took no notice. Instead, she turned to Sora again, and said "By the way, I'm super-duper-cool Selphie! Nice to meet ya!"
"Er-" God, she seems worse than Yuffie! "I'm Sora. Nice to meet you too."
"Oh yeah, Sora, Yuffie just told me everything." Riku said, smirking. Oh no! Does he know that I like Kairi? I swear I'll kill Yuffie - I should have done that sooner... - Riku will now tease me even more than before!!!
"Everything what? What am I missing?" asked Selphie, looking from Riku's smirking face to Sora's I-can't-believe-she-did-that face. Selphie hated to be left out, after all, she was one of the most popular girls at school, she HAD to know everything, didn't she? But as none of the boys spoke, Selphie decided to use her secret weapon. Yes, the weapon will teach them! Heh!
"C'mon, tell me... or else..." she said misteriously.
"Or else what?" Sora asked, not sure if he really wanted to hear the answer.
"Or else I'll have to..." Selphie continued even more misteriously. "I'll have to..."
Sora and Riku listened carefully. Selphie could be bouncing and annoying, but you better take her seriously when she's NOT bouncing or annoying.
"I'll have to," she pointed her finger to the sky dramatically then yelled, "use my GIANT FINGER OF DOOM and poke you to DEATH!"
Fortunetly, the school bell rang that minute so Selphie said with a grin "Oh well, maybe next time, eh! See ya later Sora cutie! See ya in class Riku~!" and with that, she ran to the school entrance and raced up the stairs to classroom 2-A.
Sora had a puzzled look on his face. "Giant finger of what...?"
"Don't even try to understand." Riku said looking like he had been through that for a million times. "She's always like that to everybody. Incredibly annoying..."
Sora chuckled. "How did you get friends with her?"
"Well, apparently, she has a new 'victim' every week, and guess who was this week's victim?" said Riku with a scowl. "She just won't leave me alone. But I suppose she's like that to everyone, so go figure."
Sora was laughing harder, but Riku ignored. "The point is," he continued, "She's one of Kairi's best friends. We could use that to our advantage."
So he did know. Sora remembered the day before, when he saw Kairi sitting with her friends at the cafeteria, giggling. One of them must have been Selphie.
They got up to the second floor, each one to their own classes. Sora sat on his usual place behind Kairi, hoping he'd be able to talk a little bit more with her. He saw Yuffie sitting on a desk in the line close to the windows; she had her hands behind her head, tilting the chair back and forth looking very relaxed. Typical of Yuffie.
Running his eyes through the class again, Sora spotted Tidus; he sat more to the front, and was talking animatedly with a friend. When he saw Sora looking at him, he waved and grinned at the smaller boy. Sora smiled back. Must be talking about blitzball. I should really introduce him to Riku someday. But then he thought again, and realised hat wouldn't be good. They'd probably cause the next World War or something.
Kairi had just arrived in the class. She thankfully (for Sora) sat in front of him. "Good morning, Sora!" she said. "Almost got late today."
Sora could only manage to say back a "G-good morning, Kairi." He could almost hear Yuffie's muffled laugh next to him. Brushing Yuffie out of his mind, he remembered the party. "S-so, still up to Saturday?"
Kairi smiled. "Yeah. What will your costume be?"
Costume? What is she talking about?
"Eh?" Sora asked.
"You know, that Moonlight Club is known for hosting costume parties. Surely that's what you were planning, right?" she asked, eyeing Sora suspiciously.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. I still haven't thought of a costume for me..."
"Ah, me neither. And, will it be okay if I bring my friends, Selphie and Yuna?"
"Sure, no problem." Yuna must have been the one with eyes with different colors. She was a bit weird...
"Oh, good, then." sai Kairi, turning her back to Sora to watch the Geography teacher entering class.
Sora spotted Yuffie and glared at her. Why didn't she mention I would have to wear a costume?! Yuffie just smiled back, and winked.

A/N: Hi! Did everybody have a good Easter? I did ^_^ *eating lots of chocolate* Hehe... Nothing I said that would happen last chapter actually happened (lol, I hope you're not disappointed!)...anyway, the Giant Finger of Doom thing is copyright of my friends on Demon Squirrels Forum (sorry Dark Chii and Yuna for stealing that idea... ^_^;). And I'm glad people are liking this story *wipes away tears of joy*. I honestly thought "Aw, why bother, it's really crappy and nobody will like it anyway...", but when I saw my first reviews I felt... loved ^_^ it's a really good feeling. You should all try that! =D Lol. Let's see if we can get to 15 reviews, okay? *crosses fingers*

BubbleFairy03: It's so nice to see you again! ^_^ Thank you so much for your comment, and I didn't make Kairi a complete snob because I hate characters like that =) (and I believe many people agree, right? =D).
