Chapter 4: Pause
Rikku laughed whole heartedly. "Tidus is like a mile away!"
I looked from my hand grasp on the oars to notice we were almost to the main island. Tidus was about 50 feet away. I had been rowing furiously in my pissed off mode, thinking about Riku with Kairi. I slowed my pace, but not by much.
A moment later we glided to the shore line of the main Island. Rikku jumped out of the boat doing a victory dance while I pushed the boat to the dock and tied it up.
"Come on Sora! To school!" she shouted grabbing me by the elbow pulling me to the entrance of Destiny High. It had been so long since I had seen this place. We barely went to school any way. Three days a week, five hours a day.
"I've never seen anyone in my whole life excited about school." I laughed at her.
We walked in and received excited greetings. I smiled a fake smile and pretended like I cared that all those people missed me. I didn't need their gratitude. I needed Kairi's. I trudged on as Rikku smiled brightly. She still held my elbow, a few of the guys and girls looked disappointed.
"This way," I mumbled and started to the only 12th grade classroom (small school). "Let's go Rikku,"
"You bet!" Rikku said looping her arm all the way through my arm. I glanced down at her but she didn't look embarrassed or uncomfortable. I was getting used to her being so up front, so I only turned red a little. I hope.
We arrived, to see only Riku and Kairi in the classroom. I sat on the opposite side from them and Rikku followed.
"Why don't you sit over here?" Kairi smiled and asked me.
"I like the view," I said, thankfully there as a window beside me. Rikku snickered.
"Oh, okay," Kairi said then continued talking to Riku. A second later Tidus arrived followed closely by Yuna. They sat in front of Rikku and me.
"Ya'll just missed a fight!" Tidus said excitedly as he reached us. "Bradirk pushed some guy named Leon," Tidus explained, "he was awesome. Bradirk got all-"
"Wait, did you say Leon?!?" I interrupted him.
"Yeah, that's right," He said confused at my sudden interest.
"Leon!" I said jumping up and raced out the door. Rikku followed. My other friends looked at me confused. Once I got out in the hall, I looked around. No Leon. No Yuffie. No anybody.
"Hey kid!" A voice shouted from the staircase
"Leon! Hey!" I grinned, something I hadn't done for a while. I noticed the rest of my friends I had met on my journey following behind him. My grin got bigger as my gaze fixed on each of them.
Leon.
Yuffie.
Aerith.
Cloud.
"What are you all doing here?!" I asked.
"Well-." Just then he bell rang interrupting Yuffie. We all hurried back to the classroom.
I walked into the classroom, Rikku beside me and the others trailing beside me. The class, besides Kairi and Riku, gave me and them surprised looks. Kairi smiled at them, and Yuffie and Aerith smiled back. Riku was giving them nasty looks.
I took my seat, and my long-lost friends gave me surprised looks when I didn't seat next to Kairi. My smile faltered and was replaced by a fake one.
"All right class it's nice to see old faces and great to see new ones," Mrs. Elmer smiled warmly, "today we are. . ."
(A/N- here is just the seating chart for any one who is confused. Just thought you would like to know, so here it is!
Tirana Selphie Nila Neog
Cloud Aerith Wakka Calli
Yuna Tidus Yuffie Gippal Jeffery
Sora Rikku Leon Kairi Riku
The seat between Wakka and Calli we'll be taken by the next surprise person who shows up on Destiny Island. And the seat in front of Calli will remain empty. If you are wondering who Nila and Tirana are they are made up people. Anyways, sorry if I wasted most of you people's time. This was just for the people who wanted to know. So, on with the story!)
(Kairi POV)
I'm so happy! Riku is so sweet to me. There is something weird though, Sora acts . . . distant to me for some reason. Riku was right; all he cares about are his new friends. It makes me really sad.
He's my best friend!
Correction, was my best friend. Now he barely even talks to me. It makes me really upset. But sometimes, just sometimes, he acts like his old self. He smiles and talks to me and we laugh just like old times, but only when Riku isn't around. Riku told me that Sora was gone longer than him because he was hanging out with his new friends. And for some reason that makes me feel really lonely. I know I must sound selfish because I don't want Sora to have fun without me, but I can't help it!
And that new girl, Rikku, hanging all over him. What is up with that? She's getting on my nerves. I can't believe Sora invited her to stay at my place. But I guess it was better than her staying at his place. That would have defiantly made me insane. I'm having this weird feeling whenever I'm around her, like. . .for some reason I wanted to. . .to. . .hurt her. And this was defiantly a new feeling. I never could even hurt a fly and now I keep having daydreams of me choking her to death.
I sometimes wish...I wish things were back to normal, like the way things were before the Heartless.
Back to normal.'
Author's Note- Wow. That was my longest chapter yet. I set up things a little differently this time. Like them hate them? Tell me! R&R! Was this to long, to short, just right? Well, anyways thanks for bearing with me and hopefully the next chapter will be coming soon!
