------------
I leaned against my locker, looking up at the ceiling. I don't know why, but I was suddenly thinking about the auditions.
'Will Riku be in drama class?'
'Will he audition for Romeo?'
'Will I get the part as Romeo?'
'If I do get the part, will I be a good actor?'
'Will Kairi like me again?'
So many questions, not even one answer. I sighed. Suddenly, I saw visions in my mind...visions of my past...
"I am the ghost of Christmas future!" the boy said in front of me, dressed in a dark coat. My heart pounded faster...and faster...and faster.
"Uh..I...uh..." I said. 'What were the words?' I thought. I looked at the audience.
Thousands...no, millions...were watching me. Me. My heart pounded even faster. The boy in front of me looked at me as if to say 'Say your lines!'
"Uh..." I said, I still didn't know the words. 'What were the damn words....'
"Uh...bahumbug?"
And everybody started to laugh. The boy in front of me. The audience.
Everybody...
That all happened years ago. We were doing a play called 'A Christmas Carol' for my whole school. I was the main character, Scrooge. You see, whenever I get really nervous, I suddenly forget the lines. All of them. Its like I didn't practice at all or anything. But that was the past, right? So maybe...just maybe, it'll be different.
"SORAAAAAAAA!!!" A screamed through the hallways. "SORAAAA!!!"
"SOR--"
"I'm not deaf, Yuffie!" I said. Yuffie stood in front of me, smiling.
"I know! I'm not stupid!" She said, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, I got a plan!"
I raised one of my eyebrows. "A plan? Already?"
Yuffie's smile grew wider. "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
"Okay, so what is it?"
"I can't tell you now...not right here. Its gonna be top secret. I already told Selphie and Wakka. I call it Operation:Get-Sora-with-Kairi-instead-of-Riku-using-a-cellphone also known as: O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C!"
"Ummm...okay..."
"I'll tell you about O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C later...er...at lunch or something!"
"Okay...hey, can't we just call it something...uh...shorter?"
"No, because theres already a shorter name! I already told you its O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C!"
"Why can't we just call it...Yuffie's Plan? Or something?"
"Hey...thats a GREAT name! I'll go tell Selphie and Wakka!"
Yuffie skipped down the hallways until she was no longer in sight.
[Selphie's PoV]
"Wakka?" I asked.Wakka, who was drinking from the drinking fountain, stopped and looked at me.
"Huh?"
"Do you think we should be helping Sora with O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C? I mean, all he does is spend time with Kairi! He hardly even talks to us a lot anymore!" I said. I felt a bit angry at Sora for always talking to Kairi. Not that I'm jealous, but he should at least stop talking to her and talk to us! His true friends! The ones that hung out with him, talked to him, and, well, the ones that were his only friends in these past few years!
"Ya, we should. Afterall, he is our friend, ya? He's always..." Wakka said, but paused for a second. "Wait a minute, he's never helped us out when we needed help, man!"
"Exactly," I replied. It was true. When we needed help, Sora would just say 'I dunno.' or 'Uhhh....'
"But still..." Wakka said. "We should still help him out, ya..."
I glared at Wakka and then looked at the ground.
"SEEEELLLLPPPPHHHIIEEEE!" I heard a scream yell out. "WAKKKAAAAA!!!"
'Yuffie. Wow, shes loud...'
Yuffie ran up to us and stopped to catch her breath. She looked up at us and grinned.
"GUYS! I got a new name for O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C! Its...uh...what was the name?...uh..." she said, putting a finger on her chin and looking up at the ceiling. "Uh..."
"Well...?" I said.
"Uh...Well, I forgot the name, but its AWESOME!" She said. "Sora thought of it! Anyway, we're gonna talking about it at lunch!"
"Okay," I said. I tried to sound as happy as I could.
"Great! Well, gotta go!" Yuffie said, and ran back down the hallways.
"She really seems like this plan's gonna work," I said to Wakka.
"Do you think it will work, man?" Wakka replied.
"No."
[Sora's PoV]
[Lunch](a/n:im skipping ms.lionharts class, sorry. it is now lunch in this scene)
I got my lunch tray and walked outside. I looked around, hoping to find an empty bench. I saw Yuffie waving at me, she was was sitting next to Wakka and Selphie.
"Sora! Over here!" Yuffie yelled, waving. I walked toward their bench and sat down.
"Okay! We will now discuss O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C!...er...i mean...." Yuffie said.
"Yuffie's plan?" I said for her.
"Yeah!" She said, sounding excited.
"Wait a minute, THATS the name? Yuffie's Plan?" I heard Selphie said. Her tone was sad and depressed, or that was what I thought.
"Yeah!" Yuffie repeated. "Don'tcha like the name? Its sooo cool!"
"Yeah, right. Whatever," Selphie snapped, and turned away.
I glared at Selphie and said, "Geez, what is up with--"
But then I saw Wakka and Yuffie glare at me. I saw Wakka mouthing 'I'll tell you later, ya.'
I nodded. 'Wonder whats up with her...'
"ANYWAY, the things required for this is: A cellphone, Sora, and...well, thats all!" Yuffie said. "Once we get the cellphone, I'll give it to Sora, right? Then, when Kairi and Riku are alone in the hallway, alone and talking, Sora will get his cellphone and pretend to break up with his girlfriend. Oh, and--"
"I don't have a girlfriend." I said.
"I know, so Selphie's gonna pretend to be your girlfriend. Anyway, I--"
"WHAT!?" Selphie and I yelled at the same time.
"Aw, come on guys! We're only pretending! Just for one day!" Yuffie said, grinning. I sighed and Selphie crossed her arms.
"Okay," Yuffie continued. "So, Sora will pretend to break up with Selph. Oh, Sora, you're gonna have to say it loud enough for them to hear ya. Any questions?"
Wakka raised his hand, as if he were a student in a classroom.
"Yes, Wakka?"
"Uh..I don't get it, man," he said.
"Too bad," Yuffie said. "Any other questions?"
Wakka raised his hand again.
"Yes, Wakka?"
"Uh..what do I do?" he asked.
"Nothing," Yuffie replied. Wakka frowned.
"Any other questions?" Yuffie asked.
Wakka raised his hand, once again. Yuffie just ignored Wakka. Wakka waved his hands in front of Yuffie.
"WHAT!?" Yuffie yelled.
"Uh...nevermind." he said.
"Okay," Yuffie said, slightly annoyed. "Soo...this will all be done tomorrow. I'm the one who'll get the cellphone."
"Ummm...when are we gonna do it?" I asked.
"I said tomorrow." Yuffie replied.
"No, I meant when, like at what period and time."
"Ohhhh...Uh...I dunno. Whenever Kairi and Riku talk to each other in the hallways tomorrow."
After lunch, we went to our next classes. Once again, I saw Kairi and Riku walking together and talking. I glared at Riku. Riku noticed me glaring at him. You know what he did? He reached out and grabbed Kairi's hand, and held it. It seemed like Kairi didn't mind. 'Why that little asshole...'
Finally, it was P.E. 'I hope Riku's not in this class...'
But he was. He was standing with Kairi, and holding her hand...
"Okay, class." Mr. Guado, who was in the front, said. "Today, we will play Basketball. Uh-hee-hee-hee."
We were divided into two groups. I looked around. 'I hope Riku's not in my team...'
But he was, and so was Kairi. We heard the whistle, which Mr. Guado had whistled. The game begun.
Riku snatched the ball from a kid and began to run toward the basket, but he was surrounded by the other team.
"Riku! Give the ball to me!" I yelled. I was right next to him. He ignored me and threw the ball over to Kairi, who was farther away. Kairi caught the ball and scored. Our team won, and P.E was over. Most people left, but I stayed...and so did Riku.
"Riku, why didn't you give the ball to me!?" I asked, angrily. He ignored me again! I had enough. I walked over to Riku and threw my fist over to his face, but to my surprise, he 'caught' my hand and gripped it tight, really tight. I winced in pain. He was stronger than me and he then began to twist my hand...and then, he let go. He glared at me, and walked away. He had such a strong grip of it, I thought my hand was broken! Thankfully, it wasn't.
"Sora!" I heard a voice yell...Kairi?
"Sora!" She said again, she sounded very angry. She came to me and slapped me on the face. It didn't really hurt physicly, but mentally.(a/n:it hurt his feelings) "How could you do that to Riku? He's new!"
"What!? Do what!?" I asked.
"He said you punched him!"
"What!? No I didn't!" I said. I was confused. I didn't even punch him!
Kairi glared at me and said, "Are you telling the truth!?"
"Yes! I swear I didn't!"
"Uh-huh. Right. He wouldn't lie to me."
"I wouldn't lie to you either!"
I started to get angry. Not only at Riku, but at Kairi too. Why would she think I lied to her!? I would never lie to her! I mean, sure, I did try to punch him, but I didn't even get a chance to!
"Kairi, I swear, I wouldn't ever lie to you," I said again.
She looked at me in the eyes, turned to Riku, and stormed off. Then, they walked out of the gym. And soon, everybody in the gym left.
I was all alone. Alone again...
[Kairi's PoV]
I had a lot of questions on my mind.
'Did Sora lie to me?'
'Did Riku lie to me?'
'Did Sora really punch Riku?'
'Why am I starting to think Riku lied to me?'
'...and why do I keep thinking Sora told the truth?'
All of these questions...why isn't there any answer!? I felt somebody grab my hand. Riku. I looked up at him, his aqua eyes shining and looking down at me.
'Why is this reminding me of Sora...?'
I looked at the ground.
"Riku...are you sure it was Sora who punched you?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. I thought he was a nice guy and all..but I guess not," he said. He didn't sound like he was lying...but I can't judge him by his tone.
"Oh...okay...Riku?"
"Yes, Kairi?"
His voice...it sounded really sweet and caring...
"You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
"No, of course not. Why would I?" he said, and smiled. I smiled back.
'He sounds like he's telling the truth...but at the same time, he sounds like he's lying.'
Suddenly, I thought about the play. I don't know why, but I felt like I had to ask...
"Riku, are you gonna be in drama class?"
"If you are," he replied.
"I am in drama class."
I then told him about the play. He agreed that he would be in drama also. I also told him I was trying out for Juliet.
"Then I will be the Romeo," he said.
"I heard that..." I said, my voice trailing off.
"That...?"
"Sora's gonna try out for that part too. Selphie told me."
"He won't get the part. I'm your Romeo."
I smiled.
'Why do I somehow have a feeling Sora will get the part?'
"Right..." I said, my voice trailing off. He looked at me with concern.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing," I replied, faking a smile. He stared at me.
"Nothing...at all?"
"Nothing," I repeated. "Umm, I have to go, ok? So...uh...see ya!"
And ran off, not even looking back at him. I ran to my locker and grabbed all of my things and stuffed them into my backpack. I glanced at the clock. 1:39 PM. 'Yes! I'm gonna go home soon!'
Suddenly, I saw Yuffie walking and decided to talk to her.
"Hi, Yuffie. We...haven't talked in awhile," I greeted her.
"Hiya!" She replied. She was tapping her feet, thinking of something to say. "Uh...sooo..."
"So..." I echoed. I didn't know what to say. Our conversations aren't normally like this. We usually had a suject to talk about and chat about it until school ended. But the conversation was different. A lot different than the others.
[Sora's PoV]
I walked to my locker, slowly. A lot of things were on my mind. I looked at the clock on the wall. 1:52 PM. 'Might as well go home.'
"Hey Sora!" A voice chirped behind me. It was Yuffie, obviously.
"Hi..." I replied. I tried to sound happy, but I don't think she 'bought it.'
"Hey, whats wrong?" Yuffie asked.
"Nothing..."
Yuffie shrugged and said,"Well, don't forget the plan! Remember: its gonna be tomorrow! Meet me by the school entrance when ya get to school!"
And she ran off through the empty hallways. I sighed. 'I think this is the worst day of this school year...'

Author's Notes: That was a pretty long chapter. o.o; Hope ya liked it :D
Yuffie's Plan (aka O:G-S-W-K-I-O-R-U-A-C) will be in the next chapter. :D I don't think the chapter will be as long as this one, though. :/
Oh yeah, Y'know for Sora's flashback about the Scrooge thingy? I forgot what the ghost thing was called, so if I got it wrong, don't blame me (I'll edit it later if I did get it wrong) =P Also, remember it said 'Thousands...no, millions' were in the audience? That was just Sora exaggerating. :)
Well, since you got this far, why not review? -wink wink-
