Living, Learning, and Kairi

Chapter Two: What Happened To My Fallen Angel?

Sora felt so dizzy, shaking so badly, ears ringing with her words. His mind was racing, running on caffiene, therefore screaming thoughts in his head such as "DENIAL! MAN, SHE'S NOT SERIOUS!"

Kairi sighed. "I'm serious. I'm... sorry, Sora..." She wiped a tear from her eye as she walked away, regretting her actions, but knowing it was for the better.

Sora stared at her back in complete and utter shock, trembling so harshly he collapsed to his knees. Slowly, not caring who was around, he dropped his head and sobbed into his hands uncontrollably, soaking his white theif gloves. Let them see me cry. All those who stand out of my way, those who shun me, those who look up to me. Let them see big boy Sora cry his little heart out. Sora thought with pain pulsing through his veins. Let them see, but I won't be ashamed... I still love Kairi Mayor...

Sora shook with unsteady tears, taking in a deep, shuddery breath as he clenched his fists with determination. He would win her back, he had to. "I still love you Kairi..." He whispered hoarsely to no one in particular. He raised his head to the sky, watching as a couple birds soared gracefully and peacefully overhead. He closed his eyes, squeezing out a couple more tears. "I STILL LOVE KAIRI!" He shouted to the world, letting them know to look out, because Sora was out to win a girl, and he was pumped.

Sora trudged into school the next day, ignoring the invite to go nag Tidus. Around 5th period, he hadn't caused any havoc. The teacher was scared and sent him to the nurse.

Sora skipped the nurses office and went straight for the bathroom. What the hell was he supposed to do? Live depressed the rest of his life? What was the point? He sat on one of the toilets, hugging his knees and wiping a few tears on his shorts, leaving dark stains. He blinked back a couple more, and was just about to get up when he heard a familiar voice.

"Yeah, so that girl... Kyra or something... she recently broke up with one of those dudes that thinks he's all super-duper... you know who I mean..."

Sora leaned forward, clutching the cold metal sides of the stall with his hands.

"I mean, she's pretty hot, considering I dunno her name."

Sora was on his knees, barely pressing his ear against the door.

"She should join us, eh? Give her a break from So—"

Sora couldn't hear the rest of the sentence, since he was too busy falling on his face. A Sora sort of thing to do, hm? Yeah, he kinda forgot he was still sitting on the toilet and leaned out too far, opening the door with his head. In front of him were Leon and another dude he'd never met, yukking it up.

"Well well well. If it isn't Elephant Trunks." Leon chuckled, pulling Sora up by the collar. "Eavsdropping, are we, punk?"

Sora glared at Leon, grasping at his collar, trying to loosen it to keep from choking to death. "You just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time." Leon continued. "And you know what happens to those of you who mess with me."

Sora shuddered as Leon's breath hit his spine. Recently Leon and him hadn't been getting along too well. Leon claimed that Kairi had 'softened him up', and Sora defended her. Now they were rivals, and Leon had started a new gang of his own. Psh. Wanna-be.

Sora smiled as fakely as he could muster, and managed in a choppy voice "I think you're mistaken, SQUALLY." He pulled back his fist, letting it spring forward right into Leon's face, making imapct.

Leon stumbled backwards, letting go of Sora. Sora took the advantage and scrambled to his feet, dashing out the door. He could hear Leon cussing like a drunken sailer/shoe-fitter(A/N: Refer to CoaTTM if you're confused. XD). "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, SORA!"

The next day Sora was cautious as well as quiet. He didn't join Riku and Cloud in their chanting of "Stay in school and WEAR CLEAN UNDERPANTS!", or having tic tac wars with the junior class clowns. He just sat there... thinking... wondering about Kairi.

Sora was just making his way down the hallway, minding his own business. He was planning up some way to get Kairi to talk to him, when two hands grabbed his shoulders and forced him down, and something jumped over his body. Sora gasped. "PLEASEDON'THURTMELEON!"

The figure blinked. "What the hell, Sora?" Riku asked blankly.

Sora's shoulders dropped. "Man, Riku, you scared my pants off." He shuddered slightly and stood up. Riku laughed.

"You looked like Cloud's mother when she wakes up in the morning."

"I HEARD THAT, RIKU!" Cloud glared.

Riku gulped. "Anywayyyy..." He started. "Sora! Want to go fling sea moneys at the biology teacher? Well tell her it's a cure for her acne."

Sora shrugged. "Nah, I'm okay." Riku blinked again.

"WHAT?!" Riku yelled. "WHAT THE CRAP IS WRONG WITH YOU, SHORT STUFF? Lately, all you've been is mope mope MOPE! I KNOW you're sad, but DUDE. MOVE. ON. WITH. YOUR. LIFE. AND. EAT. A. TOOTSIE. POP." He stormed off, dragging Cloud behind him.

Sora leaned against the lockers, watching his two best friends disappear down the hallways. He sighed. He KNEW Riku was right, and he knew he should let go, but something inside of his heart was hanging on with all it's might, and it wasn't letting go. It was telling him he and Kairi were meant to be...

Sora shook off the tears that were coming on and made his way towards the double doors that led to the real world. He needed fresh air. He pressed on the handle bar and was about to step outside when a voice sounded behind him.

"Where're you going, kid?"

Sora turned around sharply and gasped.
