Chapter 3: Bad Habits and Close Calls-Part 1
That Friday, Sora and Riku's art teacher, assigned the class some projects. Of course Sora and Riku were paired up and figured out what project they were going to do. They chose to do the project that involved going outside and choosing a place. They had to pick a spot, and draw what they saw. After school that day, they decided to get started on it right away. Sora was excited about it while Riku was just excited about spending more time with Sora.
They started walking until they found the perfect spot; right by the waterfall. Sora ran up to the stonewall that outlined the pond and sat down on the edge. He placed his bag beside him and started taking out his supplies. Riku on the other hand, slowly walked towards Sora. He then paused at the site before him. He continued staring at Sora who was almost beside the falls and had started working on his drawing. Riku didn't know what was going on in his head but he suddenly felt the erge to draw that scene. He sat down and started getting his supplies out too.
Sora didn't really notice what Riku was doing but did wonder why he was sitting so far from him. He just shrugged it off and continued to focus on his own work. He first lightly sketched the outlines of the falls and the pond below it. He then went over the lines again with a darker pencil. Then he worked on the little details like the plants and vines that hung over the edge of the wall on the other side of the pond. He was very quick with his work and was very focused.
Riku was focused but on something different. He followed a similar pattern as Sora did with his art except for the things in the drawing. Riku made sure that all the details on Sora, were perfect. He spent most of his time on drawing him. Once in awhile, if Sora would have looked at Riku, he would have seen him blushing sometimes. Riku was just drawing Sora, sitting down in the picture but he was drawing him differently in his mind.
The two were so focused that they didn't even hear footsteps coming towards them. It was Kairi and Selphie (she's a girl with shoulder-length brown hair that curled at the ends and who can be hyper at times.) They were on their way to Kairi house and noticed the two boys there. They thought it was odd to find them sitting so far apart and most of all, seeing Riku actually drawing. Selphie sneeked up behind Riku and tried to scare him, but it didn't work. He was too into his drawing. Then he realized she was there and immediatly tried to hide the drawing under his arms.
"Awww...why can't I see it? Don't be mean." Selphie cried playfully at Riku.
"No, I...uh...I'm not done."
"So? I still want to see it."
"I'd rather you not see it. I'm not liking the way it's turning out." Riku lied.
"That's bull! If it was that bad, then why hide it?"
"Because...I just....I just don't want to show you."
"Oh, come on. You are so pathetic. It's just a drawing. Or maybe it's not just a drawing, to you anyway."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Selphie had a big smirk on her face. "Maybe you drew something that you really like, and you don't want anyone to know."
Riku blushed but tried to hide it. He knew she was right but didn't want her to know that. "No, I'm just really bad at art, okay?"
Kairi had stayed out of the conversation but decided to step in. "I don't think you're bad at art. I think you're pretty good. Maybe almost as good as Sora." That sure caught his attention. Riku then looked at Kairi and Selphie and finally gave up.
"Here." He said as he handed Kairi the drawing. She looked at it and smiled. She really liked it and thought Riku did a good job on it. She just couldn't figure out what Riku was trying to hide though.
"This is really good. You've gotten better from the last drawing I seen you make." Riku blushed at her comment. "I really mean that too. Have you shown Sora yet?"
"Ummm...not yet."
"Well, why not?"
"Ummm, he's been busy and I wanted to leave him alone and..."
"Stop making excuses, Riku. I think he should see this."
"Wait...no...I..."
"What's wrong Riku? You don't want him to see that you've been drawing him? Oh, wait a minute! I think I figured it out." Riku felt very nervous as Selphie leaned in towards him. "You like Sora, don't you?" His heart started racing as he thought about it. He didn't like to lie but he just had to.
"No. Why would you think that?"
"Oh, just wandering. It sure seems like you do."
"How so?"
"Well, for starters, you were drawing him. Second, you seemed to blush whenever we mentioned him. Third, you didn't want him to see the drawing meanwhile you guys share everything with each other. Do I have to keep going?"
"No! No...just stop it. You are wrong. I just didn't want to show Sora my drawing until I was done. That's all."
Selphie didn't believe him but decided to go check on Sora and Kairi. Riku sighed and covered his face with his hand. 'Man, that was close. I thought she had really figured it out. Well, then again, how could she, if even I haven't yet.' He thought to himself before getting up. He started heading towards Sora and the others, in hopes that Sora wouldn't think that same thing Selphie did.

Well? That was close for Riku. Will Sora think the same thing when he sees Riku's drawing? Read to find out. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can.
