Chapter 7- Homecoming- Hell to Heaven
I looked at the tab. I had written a small 'S' with a permanent marker, when I got home that day. I was so happy at my luck.
"I remember that day," Namine said smiling. We started to look through the box. Before we knew it, we were being called downstairs. Nam and I did some last minute check ups, before heading downstairs to meet Cloud and Sora.
We walked down to find my mom and dad next to Sora and Cloud. Sora looked so dreamy. He was in a dark gray dress shirt, which made his ocean blue eyes turn a little gray. It didn't look bad at all, if anything he looked more mysterious. Cloud looked mesmerized by Namine.
"Wow," was what I heard from the both of them when we reached the bottom step. Namine blushed. Sora and Cloud reached their hands out to us as we stepped into the living room.
"By the way Namine, your mom called and said that they'll bring your bag of clothes over here a little later for you to spend the night," my mom mentioned. Namine nodded. The four of us got our pictures taken before we left the house. We all agreed to walk, since school was only two blocks away, plus it was beautiful outside.
"You look wonderful, Kairi," I heard Sora say. I looked up at him. He was looking at me with a sweet smile. I could feel my face get hot.
"You look good too Sora," I replied. Sora took my hand and held it on the way to school. This was already heaven for me and we haven't even really officially started the night. By the time we arrived, we could hear all the commotion coming from inside. We walked into the gym where the dance was being held. Riku and Destiny greeted us at the door. Riku had a navy blue dress shirt on and Destiny had a gold colored long dress on. Not too long after, Selphie and Tidus, and Wakka and Lulu arrived. Selphie was wearing a light green dress on while Lulu had on a dark red one. Tidus had on a dark green dress shirt and Wakka had on a blue dress shirt. I was so excited to be here with everyone.
"Let's dance," Sora said pulling me out into the crowd of dancing high-schoolers. I noticed everyone following behind as we made our own group. I was a little nervous at first, not really knowing how to dance, but when I saw everyone just swaying around, I easily began to follow suit. After about six actual dance songs, a slow song started. I looked at Sora nervously. I was actually going to holding him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and gently pulled me closer to him. I looked down trying to hide my blushing face, as I placed my arms around his neck. I rested my head on his chest as we swayed to the rhythm of the music.
"Be right back, I'm really thirsty," I heard Namine say to Cloud. I saw her walk by towards the refreshments table. About a few seconds after Namine got to the table, I saw Christy with three of her friends. They were all holding something behind their backs. I squinted my eyes trying to see what they were hiding. Christy and her friends snuck up on Namine who was pouring punch into a cup. I finally saw what they were hiding. They each had a bottle of ranch. They put them in front of themselves in the pouring position.
"Namine!" I cried out breaking from mine and Sora's romantic moment. Namine turned around. Right as she did so, the four girls squeezed their bottles of ranch all onto Namine's dress. She screamed as it rolled down her once beautiful blue dress onto the floor. We hurried over to them.
"Pay back is a bitch…" Christy said coldly. I was half expecting Namine to start crying. What she did though, completely shocked me. Namine slapped Christy hard across the face. Christy stepped back into us, holding her cheek. Namine glared at her, with the most evil glare I had ever seen her give.
"No, you're pretty much the bitch," Namine said quietly but still loud enough to be heard. My mouth completely dropped open. I wasn't the only one surprised. I could see tears starting to fill in Christy's eyes as she turned around and pushed everyone in her way. Her little followers trailed after her, leaving all of us standing in awe. By this time, the vice principle had come along and told us that we needed to leave.
"Holy crap, Namine, when did you get such an attitude?" Riku asked as we began to walk toward the door. Namine put on a sweet smile.
"I've always had it," she said sweetly, as if she didn't do anything wrong. I couldn't help but laugh. She did have the perfect innocent look to her, but I guess everyone has to let out their inner devil sooner or later.
"I'll walk you home," Cloud said taking her hand. They started to walk out of the gym.
"I have to go too. Namine's spending the night, remember?" I said to Sora, bummed.
"Then I'll take you home, after all I don't want to stay here, if you're leaving," Sora said taking a hold of my hand again. I smiled at him as we followed Cloud and Namine to my house. When we got home, the guys waited down stairs as I took Namine into my room to find her something to change into. She took an orange tank top and dark blue pants into the bathroom. Namine came out holding her ranch-covered dress.
"I'm sorry I ruined your night with Sora," Namine said placing the dress on my chair. Namine always apologized, even when things weren't her fault.
"You didn't ruin it. There's always a next time. I'm just sorry that Christy ruined your night with Cloud," I said. Namine hugged me. There was a knock at the door breaking the moment. I opened it to find Sora and Cloud standing in the hall.
"Kairi, can I talk to you?" Sora asked. I nodded as we walked out into the hall and Cloud went in my room. Sora kept walking, down the stairs, through the long hallway, out onto the porch and finally out onto the grass.
"What are we doing out here?" I asked. Sora looked up at my bedroom window. Cloud and Namine where there with smiles. Cloud placed my small stereo in the windowsill when he opened it. I was confused. Namine pressed the play button, as her and Cloud walked into the middle of my room. 'A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes,' from the movie Cinderella started to play. I looked at Sora.
"May I have this dance?" He asked holding out his hand. A smile consumed my face. I placed my hand into his. Sora pulled me into him. We began to dance under the star filled night sky. The sound of some crickets chirped in the background. I looked up at Sora to thank him. He looked me in the eyes, so seriously yet so passionately. He leaned his head in towards mine. We both closed our eyes. I could hear him breathing slowly as he got closer. I felt his warm, soft lips grace mine. I just wanted to stay in his arms forever. This was everything I had hoped for on my first date with Sora.
