Disclaimer: NO. I do not own KH.
(Oh yes, if you didn't catch on by now, the italics are usually Sora's thoughts...but sometimes I use it as other character's thoughts. Lol…that sounds kind of dumb/confusing. But whateverjust nod your head and pretend you get it.)
Sixth period finally came; Sora sat in his seat (nearly about to fall off of it though) and attentively watched the hands of the clock move SLOWLY. Oh c'mon. RING DAMNIT. He was dying to get out of class, everyday he dreaded coming to this class. Biology, Mr. Felix's class—the BORINGEST teacher in the WORLD (A/N: ok…lol, that's really my bio teacher Mr. Felix…I DO hate his class with a PASSION lol). Sora tapped his pencil on the open book in front of him. The rest of the class was dead silent. God..I'm so friggin BORED. I've gotta get out of here…He turned his head slightly to the right and looked out the open door. (Him being in the back of the class and last row) He saw Yuffie and some random guy standing at the doorframe motioning for him to leave with them at the same time trying not to make a sound. Sora smiled and shoved his things back in his bag quickly but cautiously, he pulled himself down to the ground and slipped on his backpack and peered between the rows of desks to see where Mr. Felix was.
Mr. Felix was on his computer putting in grades; Sora only saw the side of him. So he began to crawl across the class over to the wide open door, Yuffie and her friend tried hard to hold back their giggles and laughs. Mr. Felix was an old guy, the entire time he was oblivious to this. A lot of things happened around him that he didn't notice, like the one time during SAT's this weird kid Corban jumped out the open window (A/N: don't worry, the class is on the first floor of the school. And lol, that really happened. When we were taking SAT's Corban finished first and got bored so left class 'early') when the teacher was faced towards the dry erase board.
Corban noticed something moving from the corner of his eye and then turned to see Sora crawling and attempting an escape from the class. He shook his head laughing softly to himself and then leaned forward again to continue reading. Sora was grateful for Corban not ratting him out—but of course Corban wouldn't, Sora never ratted him out before.
Half way there Sora was still on all fours, he kept crawling…going forward towards freedom. Almost…there… he told himself in his head. Then he placed his hand on the ground (on top of a piece of paper) and then slipped. He hit his chin on the ground with a light thud, but of course Mr. Felix did not hear. Yuffie had her hand clamped over her mouth refusing to let out her shrill of laughter. Sora didn't mind cause no one else saw that except for his best friend and someone he did not know. He pulled up back on all fours and continued but now doing the 'crab crawl' backwards.
"Sora." Yuffie whispered but Sora didn't stop.
BOOONG. Ow. Sora bumped his head into the paper towel dispenser that was nailed to the side of the lab counter. The clunk echoed through the serene lab. Mr. Felix looked up and Sora froze. He was behind a counter right by the door by now so he wasn't seen. Mr. Felix scanned the classroom; Corban immediately stood up and created a diversion.
"Uh…that was my—" he slightly turned his head a bit to the right and shot Sora a 'GET OUT OF HERE YOU DUMB ASS' look from the corner of his eye.
"What is it, Corban?" Mr. Felix trudged down the rows of desks towards Corban. Sora darted out the door still crawling. He got out into the open hallway and the three sprinted for the exit laughing.
"I uhyou know." Corban bobbed his head a bit trying to think of something, "I dropped my tampon." He bent down pretending to pick something up and then sat down again as the entire class began to laugh hysterically.
Mr. Felix gave Corban a strange look and then, not being aware of the missing Sora, he just headed back to the front of the class and continued typing in data. The class's fits of laughter finally died down and the room grew quiet again.
Sora barged through the big double doors out into the fresh air. He breathed it in and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his skin. He hadn't been outside much (since in rehab they kinda have you in a locked down facility). He hopped onto his board and slid down the railing of the stairs. Yuffie scurried beside him laughing the whole way down with her friend trailing along. She had auto right now, so she always got out at least ten minutes early. She jumped over the last two steps and beat Sora down.
"HA!" she pointed at his face, "Even on your board I'm way faster than you!" she jumped around merrily and then remembered the silent boy she was standing by. Sora stepped on the end of his board causing the other end to fly up in grasping range. He took hold of it quickly in his left hand and then looked up at the two.
"Er—this is Reno. He has sixth period auto shop with me." Sora looked up at the (bright) red haired boy in a faded blue a&f logo tee and a messy pair of jeans with..MANDALS? Sora lifted an eyebrow at this. So this guy was a prep—Sora couldn't say anything about it though because he used to be one also (A/N: I call the sandals for boys mandals—it just sounds so cool).
Sora just smiled slightly, "Hey." Sora shook his hand and they all trekked over to where his car was parked.
(Yuna's POV)
"Hey. You're still here?" a voice came from behind me where I sat on the front steps of the school. I snapped my head to the side to take a look at who it was.
It was Tidus, my partner in Chem. He's a junior, but I'm guessing he failed that class last year. I put a smile on my face, I don't know why. I think I'm forming a—um semi-crush on him. I can't help it…he's so cute. I think he has a girlfriend though; she's a junior also. I'm new to this school, and it wouldn't be a good idea to get upperclassmen disliking me. So, right now I'm the only one who knows about this little crush.
He approached me and plopped down beside me, I smiled again. DAMN IT STOP! "So?"
"Huh?" I sat up straighter.
"What are you still doing at school? It's almost 4…we got out an hour ago." He said gesturing at his watch.
"Oh…my ride went home early, so I'm waiting for my aunt to pick me up." I replied looking back up at him. Even sitting down he still was an inch taller than me. I feel so small.
He looked at me from the corner of his eye for a moment and smiled then looked back ahead at the street before us.
"So—er…" I pondered a bit thinking about something to talk about. I hated awkward silences, "Why haven't you gone home yet? You have a car, don't you?"
He laughed, "OF COURSE I DO. What loser doesn't?"
I arched my right eyebrow, "I don't."
"Well, you're a sophomore, and a girl. A junior guy without a car—heh…you KNOW he's girlfriendless."
"What do you mean?"
"Girls want boyfriends who have a car, or a job at least. Without neither, what's the point of having a girlfriend?" Tidus shook his head slightly chuckling under his breath.
"And I assume you have…both?"
"Heck yes." He said a bit cocky, as he leaned back slightly propping himself up with his arms.
I laughed, "Ok. So—why are you still here?"
"Oh, I'm waiting for my girlfriend," I could feel my heart drop at the mention of his girlfriend. For a few moments I had forgotten he had one, "to get out of her 7th period."
"She has a 7th period?"
"Yeah. She does Leadership." (A/N: YES…Leadership is a 7th period. Doesn't that just bite hard? I hate having to stay a period longer—but it's for a good thing. Leadership is fun.)
"Oh. So she's into…um. Getting involved with extra curricular activities and stuff?" God why am I getting DEEPER into this convo of his girlfriend? I am SO DUMB.
"Yeah…" He looked at me from the corner of his left eye again. He's probably thinking the same thing I am.
"What does she do beside Leadership?" God I am dumb. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO dumb. I scolded myself in my head and at the same time kept a 'smile' on my face.
"Oh…she's in—well she was in cheerleading, she quit though. And er—she's in composition, soccer's starting but she said she doesn't feel like playing it this year."
"Oh…wow. Are you in anything?" I finally got the subject back on him.
"Yeah. I'm in water polo." Oh I'd love to see him in the water shirtless sometimes. I smiled slightly bigger shifting a bit too make sure he didn't noticed.
"Oh…cool." I took my gaze off of him and down at the bottom of the steps.
He sat up this time leaning forward with his elbows propped on his knees, "You know you should come and see the games sometimes. They're awesome."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Kairi comes to all of my games…" He trailed off a bit. By the way he was talking and the look on his face I could tell he really, really…does loves Kairi. That or he just totally appreciates her coming to all his games and cheering him on. Maybe it's both. LUCKY. Both of them.
He glanced at my face and I noticed we had locked eyes and I quickly looked away. That was weird. He continued, "Yeah, but she gets a real kick out of it. She still doesn't really understand all the rules of the game—heh, but I'm pretty sure it's mainly seeing all the guys out of breath and wet from the water." He joked.
I laughed along with him, "So—um." I hesitated to ask.
"Huh?" He looked at me now.
Great. Make it HARDER for me to speak. Man, his eyes were just burning into mine. It's so difficult just keeping my eyes on his for more than 10 seconds. I smiled trying to hide my edginess.
Just then I noticed something from the corner of my eye but could not wrench my gaze away from Tidus. The person's hands clasped over his eyes gently and he placed his hands over them. I looked up to see a girl hunched over behind him (from behind). She had semi-long auburn hair half way to her elbows, pretty blue eyes, and a nice smile (she looked nice, I mean. Not that I suspected her to be a bitch or anything).
Covering his eyes in a childish way she said, "Guess whooo." She giggled as Tidus felt her hands and then took a guess.
"I don't know…Barbara?"
"Who's Barbara!" she removed her hands from his eyes but he kept hold of them.
He laughed quietly and pulled her lower, "I was kidding baby. I knew it was you." She pouted a bit and then began laughing as well. She skipped down two steps so that she didn't seem too tall for eyelevel with us. I smiled at her and Tidus remembered I was there finally. "Oh yeah. Hun, this is Yuna."
(Kairi's POV)
Tidus introduced the girl sitting beside him and then I remembered the name. 'Yuna'. I recognized her at last and just gave her a simple smile, "Hi Yuna. I'm Kairi." I shook her hand and then glanced back at Tidus as he began speaking again.
"Yeah. She's new here. She's my partner in Chem., she's friggin smart." He laughed still holding on to my hands. Yuna looked away from Tidus (I think she likes my boyfriend, but why? Isn't she already with Sora?) to the car that had stopped behind me. I turned around to see whose it was. I'm guessing it was her ride cause it wasn't anyone I knew. Just then the girl got up and patted off her jeans,
"Well, um—my aunt's here. I'll see you guys tomorrow." She waved and smiled politely as she began walking down the stairs. I returned the smile and then looked back to Tidus.
"Bye Yuna." He called out after her as he stood up and wrapped his arms around me.
Without turning around she waved back at him over her shoulders and then got back into the car. I didn't watch her anymore from that point. I turned my attention back to Tidus who beginning to whisper something into my ear.
"What?" I didn't catch all of it.
(Yuna's POV)
I glanced out my window, before the car took off, and saw Kairi and Tidus were still there. He was whispering something in her ear and she just giggled. Ok…I'll admit. I'm a little jealous. ok I lied, I'm totally jealous.
(Kairi's POV)
I don't' know why Tidus waited after school for me today—he has work. And I had my car anyway…what a nerd. But whatever, he left for work and I just drove home on my own thinking more and more about that girl Yuna. Is she really dating Sora? Why is she all over Tidus? ARGH, I'm not the type to be a total bitch cause I've got a sneaky suspicion that she's AFTER ALL MY BOY LEFTOVERS, so I didn't say anything. But is she? Cause that'd be kind of creepy if she were.
I pulled up into the driveway and parked my car; for some reason I was really pissed off. I don't know why. I slammed the door shut and walked briskly up the stairs; I was home alone so I didn't need to stop and greet anyone on my way in. Closing my door roughly behind me, I let out an earsplitting scream and tossed my (expensive) purse against the wall. Still continuing the deafening scream I knocked some make up and etcetera off my vanity mirror. I flopped myself on the bed and stared up at the ceiling,
"GOD! I hate Sora." I huffed and then rolled over onto my stomach. I glared at the picture frame of Tidus and myself at the beach that was set on my nightstand. Rolling my eyes now I sat back up and then tossed my pretty pillow across the room. "Gosh, who the heck does he think he is! Coming back, from who knows where, and just throwing a new girlfriend in my face like that. And now she's allover Tidus too! I mean…ARGH. I hate him. HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM!" a few seconds past and I lay on my bed staring at nothing. First of all, why am I so mad? I mean, after we broke up I did get a new boyfriend, and it was kind of in his face. But…darn it. Ok, I'm just being a dumb little kid. I WAS the one who broke it off between us anyway…right? And…GOSH. I just hate this. Sora just keeps making me—
The phone rang. I let out an exasperated sigh and then slid off my high bed. Walking over to my desk and answering the phone I answered, "Hello?"
"Ok, was it just me, or was Kairi totally 'spaced out' today?" Selphie asked the other girls. She, Alyssa, and Tammy were at the mall shopping.
"Yeah, in English class she was like, SO zoning out and the teacher nearly threw a BF (bitch fit)." Tammy stated as she went through a bunch of skirts.
"Really? I didn't notice her acting different at all today." Alyssa said finally pulling out a denim (super) mini skirt from the rack; she held it up to her self trying to grasp an idea of how it would look on her. "Do you think this looks nice on me?" Tammy nodded.
"Well, I did. And it's worrying me." Selphie checked herself out a bit in the large mirror in front of them and fixed her hair a bit. "I caught her taking glances at the new girl today during lunch."
"Who?" Alyssa lifted an eyebrow.
"You know, the chick we nearly ran over this morning." Selphie shifted her purse on her right shoulder and then turned away from the mirror facing the other two.
"Oh. Yuna. Why would she be staring at her?" Tammy moved her bangs out of her face as she stood up straight now holding a pair of sandals in each hand.
Selphie shrugged, "No idea. But she was."
"Who is she anyway?" Alyssa asked still clueless.
"Kairi. DUH you friggin blonde!" Tammy shouted tossing a thong at her friend jokingly.
Alyssa shot her friend Tammy a 'I'm the Blonde?' look with one eyebrow arched up, "No, I mean Yuna. We don't exactly know anything about her besides her grade and name."
"We know what grade she's in?" Tammy fiddled with her purse trying to pull out her cell phone.
"Yeah, she's a sophomore." Selphie added before walking to the other side of the small store.
"She's younger than us?" Tammy plopped herself down on the recliner beside a small end table with magazines spread across the top.
"Yeah…" Alyssa answered and then sat down in the recliner across from Tammy.
The two sat there going through magazines and waited for their friend to finish trying on clothes. In the dressing room Selphie had tried on 6 things. She had 13 but the limit of things to take in was 6. She stared at her reflection in the glass mirror and tilted her head a bit. She had on a hunter green logo tee and a pair of loose khaki cargo kapris. She slipped off her flip-flops and then pulled off the pants. She pulled on a jean skirt and examined herself once more. 'Oh this looks nice on me.' She thought before taking off the clothes and exited back into the room the other girls were in. They waited for her to finish paying and then they all left the store and eventually the mall.
The car's stereo system was blaring music and the windows were rolled down. Wind flew in blowing Yuffie's hair and the sun just shined through on to her skin. Today was a really hot day, plus the car's AC wasn't working so the three were a bit sweaty. Sora sat in the driver's seat and just tapped his fingers on the steering wheel along with the beat of the drums (from the song they were listening to) bobbing his head up and down a bit. Yuffie laughed a little at the sight of goofy Sora all into his music. She turned her head to her left to look over her shoulder at Reno. He gave her a nervous smile. He had stripped off his tee shirt because of the heat and his hair was a mess. Yuffie giggled noticing herself staring at Reno's upper body too much. She couldn't help it though, a hot shirtless guy with a sweaty glistening (MUSCULAR) body, would you look away? Reno shifted a bit feeling uncomfortable,
"Yeah?" He scratched the back of his head with his right hand.
Yuffie snickered and shook her head, "Nothing." She turned around and faced forward again. "So where are we going?" she directed the question at Sora.
He continued to drum the steering wheel, "I don't know. What can we do on a Wednesday?"
"Go see a movie?" Yuffie suggested.
"Who goes to the movies on a Wednesday?" Reno inquired.
Yuffie shrugged, "I don't know. REALLY BORED PEOPLE?" she rolled her eyes and gazed out her window again.
"Ok. Movies it is then." Sora said as the light turned green. He accelerated the car and got onto the free way. The drive there was quiet (aside from the earsplitting music) without any conversation. The three were either too hot, too focused on other things, or just didn't feel like talking.
"Hey Kairi?" Angel said into the receiver.
"Yes?" Kairi forgot to check the caller ID before answering.
"Hey chick. It's Angel."
"Oh hey hun. What's up?"
"I'm at the movies, Lana flaked on me last minute. You wanna come see 'Constantine' with me—I'm like, such a loser here by myself."
"Hah ha. Chick, why'd you two plan on going to the movies on a Wednesday?"
"I don't know, it was Lana's idea. But she flaked and I already bought the tickets."
"Uh huh…"
"So you wanna just come?"
"Alright, where are you at?"
"River Park."
"Ok, hun. I'll be there in 5 minutes."
"K bye."
Kairi set the phone down and pulled on her shoes again. She took one last glance at the picture frame before exiting the room.
Reaching the Theatre within 5 minutes like she had said, she found her friend Angel standing out front of the theatre fanning herself. It was REALLY hot. Kairi felt the heat hit her as soon as she opened her car door and got out of her cool air-conditioned car. She looked around and then pulled her skirt down a bit, placing her keys in her purse.
"HEY!" Angel called now with a smile on her face.
"Hey babe. Geesh, you're freakin sweaty. That's hot." Kairi joked.
"But it's not fun. I'm like, burning up. ARGH—let's get inside before I start to smell." She tugged on Kairi's left arm and they entered the large glass doors. Just as the girls entered the theatre Sora and his friends approached the large lines.
"So what are we watching?" Sora asked shoving his hands into his pockets.
Reno shrugged. Now the decision was up to Yuffie. She rolled her eyes, "How bout 'Hitch'?"
"No, I already saw that last week." Sora griped, "I'm not watching it again."
"Why not?"
"You always make me do that. For example when you made me watch 'The Grudge' with you twice even though I already saw it. That was not fun. And you spilled all your popcorn on me when you jumped."
Yuffie placed her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at him. He was right. "ARGH. Fine—what about 'Constantine'?"
Reno lit up a cigarette, "Yeah, that sounds like a good movie."
Yuffie snatched the cigarette from his mouth, "I hope you know Constantine was dying from smoking too much."
"How do you know?" Reno tried to seize the cigarette back from the shorter girl.
"DUH, friggin Beth saw the movie last weekend and told me about it. She doesn't know when to shut up, NEVER go watch a movie with her. She does NOT stop talking!" Yuffie took a step forward (the line was moving slowly).
Sora chuckled, "'Constantine' it is then."
Yuffie dropped the cancer stick on the ground and stomped on it. Reno's face expressed shock; his mouth was open and was about to say something. "It's not like you're going to die without it."
"YES I AM!"
"ARE NOT. It's what is MAKING you die faster IDIOT!" she used her right index finger to push his forehead back slightly.
He snorted, "Whatever."
Yuffie rolled her eyes and the group waited in silence. The line moved a bit faster after that and then the three practically kissed the floor as they walked in feeling the cold air hit them, it was heaven compared to the heat outside.
"Hey, I'll be back. I forgot to buy candy. Did you want anything?" Kairi said to Angel as she stood up from her seat.
"Um…a soda? Coke."
"Ok," Kairi nodded and then went down the steps.
The lines were long but moved quickly. When she reached the counter she heard a girl talking loudly in the next line over and turned to see who it was. To her horror it was Yuffie—not that she didn't want to see her friend Yuffie, but wherever Yuffie was Sora had to be near by. Kairi gulped and then
"Excuse me miss?"
"Yeah?" She snapped her head back forward facing a guy about her age wearing a hot pink apron on top of a black 'RAMONES' t-shirt. One of his ears was pierced with a large 3/8 black plug and his jet-black hair was in a mini Mohawk (like Pierre's Mohawk from SIMPLE PLAN) and his eyes were a piercing gray shade. She struggled to yank her eyes away from his. His eyes were just—extremely captivating yet at the same time overpoweringly—scary? It was unexplainable actually; Kairi noticed the bored expression of his face. "I'm sorry. Um..can I get a medium coke and a bag of M&M's?"
"No you can't."
Kairi's eyes widened, "Huh? But I—"
The boy laughed at her face expression, "I'm kidding. If I was serious I'd be fired."
Kairi looked at him strangely and then said, "Oh—k…" under her breath.
The boy turned around and started filling up a cup with soda and then Kairi heard Yuffie's voice call, "HEY Kairi!"
Kairi turned to her left and smiled, "Hey guys."
Yuffie skipped over and the boys followed. "OMG, you aren't here alone are you?"
Kairi laughed, "No. I'm here with Angel."
"Ohh…What movie are you guys seeing?"
" 'Constantine'. How bout you guys?"
"AWESOME! We're seeing the same movie. Theatre 6?"
Kairi nodded. "Ahem?" She turned her full gaze away from the quiet Sora over the cute 'Mohawk' boy on the other side of the counter, "Here's your stuff."
"Tommy?" Yuffie asked.
He laughed, "Hey Yuff."
Yuffie picked up the things and handed them to Kairi, "You do know these things are on the house."
"They are?" Tommy was confused.
"Yes. Thanks. HAH HA!" she took off darting between the lines of people with the bag of candy in her arms with her other hand grasping onto Kairi's.
"WOAH…SLOW DOWN CHICK!" Kairi said trying not to spill the soda. They finally came to a stop and waited for the guys. When they arrived Kairi couldn't help but stare at Sora. His eyes were always downcast in her presence; did he really NOT want to look at her that badly? This kind of made Kairi feel bad.
"Oh yes, this is Reno. My friend from auto—isn't he hot?" Yuffie said putting an arm over his shoulders forcing him to hunch over a bit from height difference. He gave a small smile and then fought to get out from Yuffie's grasp. Didn't work—there was no use of resistance. Yuffie pulled his head lower with her arm tightened around the back of his neck at the same time giving him a noogie.
She laughed and looked up at Kairi, "I'm such a bulley."
"Yes. You. Are. Hah ha. Let's go inside before the movie starts." Kairi began walking through the doors but stopped to let Yuffie and Reno pass by. Sora's slow paced walking eventually caught up to Kairi and he just ignored it.
"Hi Sora." Kairi smiled at him even though in the dimmed lighting in the hallway made it difficult to tell face expressions.
"…Hi."
She cleared her throat, "I'm doing really good." Ok, I shouldn't be bragging of my wonderful life now, "Uh—you?"
"I'm out of rehab. You could say I'm doing a lot better. Right?" That totally came out of no where.
"OMG. You were in Rehab?" he didn't answer, "What for?"
The reached the stairs by the seats, "SHHH" some old lady hissed at them and then sat down again.
Sora just glanced at her and then trotted up the steps. Kairi blinked a bit dumbfounded then followed. The seating was from left to right, Angel, Kairi, Sora, Yuffie, and Reno. Throughout the movie, every 10 minutes Kairi's mind would drift back onto Sora. It wasn't fun.
A/N: ok ok, this bit. It's just a 'filler chapter'. But since I am so bored—I've not only updated with ONE chapter—NO NO NO, BUT TWO! ok i lied. lol. i've decided to just update the other one tomorrow. lol. i still need to proof read the other one and add some finishing touches.
