Chapter 17- Loss of Friendships
The cold milk continued to roll down my body. I turned to face my friends who all had their mouths dropped open. I felt like crying. I ran out of the cafeteria and to the nearest bathroom. I looked at my reflection as my fingers gripped the edge of the sink. Tears were starting to form in my eyes. I couldn't believe this. I just lost my best friend in the whole world.
I turned the water on and cupped my hands under the running water. I leaned back and dumped the water onto my head. Soon, there was a small puddle of milky water under me. I didn't care though. My hair was now completely wet. At least it wasn't with milk. I turned off the water and leaned against the wall, sliding down it so I was sitting against it. I put my hands over my face.
"Kairi?" someone said quietly. I looked up to see Amanda and Selphie looking at me. "Are you okay?" Amanda asked, as her and Selphie bent down next to me. I shook my head not wanting to reply
"It'll be okay Kai," Selphie said putting her hand on my head.
"No it won't. I just lost my best friend." Tears started to stream down my face.
"I know it's not the right time to say this but Namine kind of has a point," Selphie spoke up again. I looked at her. "You really should have asked if Christy could hang out with us."
"Selphie! I didn't ask her to!" I said standing up.
"Still…"
"Still nothing!"
"Kairi… I'm just trying to-"
"If you are Namine's side, then leave," I said angrily as I fought back more tears.
"Namine was right," she said looking at me almost as if she didn't recognize me. "You have changed…" Selphie turned around and left. I couldn't believe this. Now two friends left me. Amanda looked at me.
"That wasn't right of Namine. Or Selphie for that matter. I still don't trust Christy, but I'm going to trust you," she said. I stood up to hug her. Okay so now I have two people on my side. Amanda and Sora. Now I have four peoples opinions left. "Come on, the bell's going to ring." We both left the bathroom. Sora and Riku were waiting outside.
Sora pulled me into a hug. "Are you ok?" he asked. I closed my eyes, so tears wouldn't fall from them.
"Please don't leave me…" I said quietly. He hugged me tighter.
"I would never leave you," Sora said. I pulled away from him but we both still had our arms around each other. My hair fell in my face. Sora smiled at me and moved some strands out of my eyes. He kissed my forehead as a tear rolled down my cheek. "Please don't cry."
"I can't help it." He wiped away my tear. The bell rang and people started to enter the halls.
"Let's get to class," Riku said. We dropped Amanda off at her class before we headed to P.E. On the way there, it was pretty silent, that was until Riku said something. "Just to let you know Kairi, I'm on your side too." I looked at him.
"Thanks Riku," I said with a small smile, and he returned it with a smile of his own. 'Okay so I have four people, I wonder what's up with Tidus, Wakka and Cloud now. What a stupid question, of course Cloud will agree with Namine.' I sighed at the though. We all went into our separate locker rooms.
"Wasn't she the one who got milk poured on her?" I heard one girl whisper as I passed by.
"I think it was." I heard another one reply. I rolled my eyes. I continued to hear more remarks about it as I changed. After I was done I quickly ran out of the locker room to meet up with Sora and Riku who were already done. The three of us sat together at one end of the gym. I looked around and noticed Selphie and Namine walking out of the locker room. Cloud walked up to them. The three of them started talking about something, and then Namine hugged him. They went to sit on the opposite side of the gym from Sora, Riku and I.
"What do you think they were talking about?" Riku asked. I shrugged.
"Okay class!" Our teacher called out to us. "Today we're going to play dodge ball!" Everyone was pumped up. Our teacher started to separate us into teams. Luckily for me, Sora and Riku were on my team, but on the down side, Namine, Cloud and Selphie were on the opposing team. Both teams spread out along the back walls of the gym. The balls were all aligned in the middle. Our teacher blew the whistle and we ran for the balls.
I stood back since I hated being hit. Sora and Riku were up fighting. Balls were flying everywhere. I managed to dodge all the ones thrown at me. Some of our team started to disappear. They were all sitting on the middle line of the gym where the balls were at the beginning of the game, facing towards us. The only way you could put them back in the game was if you pulled them back in with out either of you getting hit. The game was taking forever; I knew it would last until the end of the period.
I looked up to see most of our team gone, along with the other team. I looked over to see who was left of the other team. Cloud was looking directly at me with a ball in his hands. 'CRAP!' I yelled in my head as he threw the ball towards me. I covered my head looking away. The ball never hit me. I looked up to see Sora catch the ball. Since he caught it, Cloud was out. Sora looked at me and smiled causing me to smile back. He threw the ball at Selphie, but Namine threw a ball at him, hitting him, and Selphie dodged Sora's ball. Sora lowered his head and walked towards the middle sitting down. Selphie tired to throw the ball at Riku, but he caught it. She sulked as she went to sit out.
Namine and Riku looked at each other. They both had a ball. I looked around for a ball, but there weren't any left, they were all on Namine's side. Riku threw the ball at Namine, but she thought too fast and dropped the ball she had, catching the ball Riku threw. I looked around the gym. Everyone was sitting in the middle, looking at either Nam or me. Namine smiled at me evilly.
"You can do it Kairi!" Yuffie, who was on my team, yelled from the center.
"Come on Kairi!" People on my team started to cheer for me. The teammates for Nam started to cheer for her too.
"Namine, you have all the balls, you can easily get her out!" Selphie called. Nam nodded picking up a ball. I looked at her with an empty expression. Namine got ready to throw the ball.
"Don't let her get you!" Riku called out to me. Namine threw the ball. I saw it coming at me at what seemed like 100 miles per hour. It would have hit me square in the stomach if I didn't let myself fall to the ground. My whole team cheered as I quickly got up and grabbed the ball. I turned to face Namine, who was turning to grab another ball. I threw the ball with as much strength as I could gather. It flew through the air to the other side of the gym. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as Namine dropped the ball she had in her hands and held them out to grab the ball I just threw. I closed my eyes I didn't want to see. Out of nowhere, everyone cheered really loud. I knew didn't make it. Suddenly I got tackled by a whole lot of people.
"You did it Kairi!" Yuffie said as I opened my eyes. Sora kissed me. My whole team was surrounding me cheering. I looked over the other side, where Namine's team was congratulating her for a good game. I turned back to my team.
"Where did I get her?" I asked.
"Leg," Riku answered.
"I'm so proud of you, Kai," Sora said. I smiled at him.
"Good game class! Well, you're dismissed," Our teacher said. We all went into the locker rooms to change. I met up with Sora and Riku outside with the rest of the class. Namine, Cloud and Selphie were no where to be seen. They must have been somewhere within the group. The bell rang and we all scattered out into the hall.
"Time for computers. Yippy," Riku said sarcastically.
"Did you have to remind me?" I asked. This was the one class I was dreading the most. We entered our classroom. Most of the students were already there. Christy was on the other side waving at me. I lowered my head and Sora guided me towards our seats. Riku sat down next to Sora and I sat on the other side of Sora. Namine, Cloud and Selphie still hadn't arrived. The door to the class opened and the three of them walked in almost on cue. Namine sat down next to me. I looked at her, but she never looked back. Class soon started up. It was the most dual class I had been in all day. I thought it would never end. I took out a piece of paper and wrote a note.
Meet me on the side of the school after class. Love Kai.
I passed it over to Sora who read it and nodded. I pointed to the note and then to Riku. Sora passed it to him. Riku read it and nodded to me too. After what seemed like an eternity, the bell rang. I gathered my things and ran outside as fast as I could. I waited by the side of the building for Riku, Sora and Amanda. After a couple of minutes, they arrived.
"Why are we here?" Sora asked.
"Because I don't want Christy to find us…" I said looking around the corner. I saw here walk down the front steps, a few people behind Namine, Cloud and Selphie.
"Namine…" Christy said nervously, as the three of them turned to face her. "Do you know where Kairi is?"
"How should I know?" Namine said. Then the three of them turned around and headed home. Christy looked around until she spotted Tidus and Wakka who were walking toward the sidewalk.
"Hey you guys," she said to them as soon as she caught up. Sora, Riku and Amanda were now watching too.
"Hi…" Tidus said looking at her awkwardly.
"Do you know where Kairi is?" she asked them.
"Nope," Wakka answered.
"Oh. Alright, thanks." Christy started to walk down the street in the opposite direction from my house. Once she was out of view, the four of us walked over to Tidus and Wakka.
"Yo, Christy was just looking for you," Wakka said to me when we reached them.
"I know," I said crossing my arms. "I know it's kind of random, but I really need to know. Are you on my side or Namine's?"
"I'm sorry Kairi," Tidus said. I looked down feeling defeated. "We're not on either of you're guy's sides. I mean you both have a point, and we don't want to pick sides. It's not really necessary."
I looked up at him. "It's okay Tidus. I understand," I said nodding. "But another question… who are you two going to hang out with since our group split?"
"Hope you don't mind, but we'll chill with some other friends until you and Namine come to your senses," Wakka said before him and Tidus left. I looked back at the remains of the group.
"What do you think he means by that?" They all shrugged. I looked up into the clear blue sky and sighed.
A/N: I know it was short, but it's just getting good. Let's just say the next chapter is kinda predictable… it leads for chapter 19 to be awesome! I hope you guys like my story so far! Hope u review! Thanx guys!
