Chapter 2- Lazy Bum

"Wow, I see you guys are happy." Riku said from behind us.

"They're in all our classes!" We said in unison. 'We sure did do that a lot.' We laughed.

"Well, except one." I began.

"Yeah, they have band while we have choir." Namine finished.

"Great, now that's all we're going to hear from you." Cid said, who had just heard everything we just said. Namine and me just laughed and nodded.

"Well, let's get to class." I said grabbing a hold of Namine's arm. We went through Science, Math, and History staring pretty much only at Sora and Cloud. Finally at the end of History, the bell rang for lunch.

"I have to talk to Mr. Ziller." Namine told me.

"Alright," I walked out of the door into the hallway. I figured I would head to the lunchroom and if she really needed me she could call on my cell phone. I started to walk down the hall when I heard my name from behind being called.

"Kairi! Wait up!" Namine called out running out of the classroom. I turned around, and right when she got to me, she tripped over her own feet. I tired to hold her up, but I need to balance our weight, so I tired to put one foot behind me. Little did I know, I was standing on my shoelaces. Namine toppled onto me while I fell backwards. Talk about embarrassing. 'At least no one saw us.' I thought when I got up. Wrong. I turned around to see Sora, Cloud, Wakka and Tidus trying to hold back they're laughing, while on the other end of the hall, Cid and Riku were some of his other friends laughing their butts off. Me and Namine both blushed. We ended up laughing too. I mean, it probably did look pretty funny.

We went to lunch still laughing. My stomach was growling. I began to keep my mind occupied with one out of like a million songs I loved. I hummed 'True' by Ryan Cabrera to myself. Then I eventually began to sing the words out loud. I'm not the best singer, but I was pretty descent. I can sing better with some musical instrument to back me up.

I wont talk, I wont breathe

I wont move until you finally see

That you belong with me

You might think I don't look-

I heard the soft rhythm of a guitar behind me, along with Sora's sweet voice.

But deep inside the corner of my mind

He stood next to me, smiled and leaned towards me a little, just enough for me to notice it.

I'm attached to you

Sora continued to play on his way to lunch with his friend behind him. A huge smile consumed my face. Nam nudged my shoulder with hers.

"He liiiiiikes you." She said in a teasing manner. I blushed and looked the other way. 'Was he singing to me, or was he just trying to hear me sing with him?' Forget it Kairi, don't let him take over your mind. To late. He's all I seemed to be thinking about now.

"What would you like?" A females voice asked. I snapped out of it. I realized I was in line to order a sandwich. 'Was I thinking for that long?' She looked at me. I smiled.

"Um, sour dough, turkey, salami and American cheese." I watched her make it.

"Lettuce or tomato?"

"Nope." She handed me my sandwich. I stood by Namine who was ordering hers.

"Just sour dough and turkey." She told her. I still don't know how she likes just turkey. Oh well. We went to pay for them. Nam and me gave the lady two dollars each.

"Where did Cid go?" I asked realizing he wasn't with us.

"Don't know." Namine said. 'Huh, oh well.' I shrugged. Namine looked around at the tables as we passed through the commons, trying to find Cloud. I knew she was because I was looking for Sora. And I knew, where ever one was, the other was with them. I spotted Sora at a table filled with people. He was leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head. He looked so carefree while he talked to Tidus. All of a sudden I heard Namine, it sounded like she ran into something. I looked over to see what had happened.

"Sorry!" She pleaded. She had run right into Cloud.

"No, I didn't see you. Sorry!" He replied. They both looked down, faces both as red as cherries as they walked away fast. I laughed to myself.

"Smooth." I said with a small laugh. Namine covered her face with her free hand. She sighed.

"Wonderful. How embarrassing!" Her face still bright red. "He probably hates me now."

"Oh my gosh Nam!" I slapped her arm. "Stop thinking negatively." I was getting tired of hearing her negativity. She was super negative about everything, even her appearance until we became really good friends. I taught her to think positive. It has helped, somewhat.

"Ow!" Namine sighed again. "Okay, he doesn't hate me." I knew she still thought he did though. She was usually telling me positive things like that so I don't get mad at her. She just doesn't know I know.

"Better." We sat down up against the wall in the hallway where we fell. I took a big bite of my food. 'Num!' Finally I had food. Her and me smiled at each other. Half way through lunch, I saw Cid walking with Caleb. I knew Riku was eating with his other friends. We were still close, but just not as close as we were before. He was older then me, which meant he got along better with the kids in the grades above us.

"Hey!" I said as Caleb sat down next to me. He smiled. I was happy I was with Caleb. The bad thing is that I never told him about Sora. I started to feel slightly weird around Caleb though. He didn't act himself, at least how he did last year when we first went out. It didn't help that we didn't have any classes together. My stomach turned at the thought of us breaking up. We all ate in silence. The bell rang fifteen minutes later. Nam and me headed to art with Mrs. Bulman. We learned how to add details to a simple drawing to make it look more extravagant. It took the whole class. After, we went to Choir, the one class with out Sora or Cloud.

"I know that this is the first day of school, but in a couple of months, we're going to have a competition at Coldwin High School." Mrs. Stephlin told us. "We, as in the choir and band." I smiled at Namine. She smiled back. "Let's practice." We sang the whole hour, nonstop. My voice was wearing out by the end of school.

As we walked out, I told Namine that I wanted to visit the old part of the island where we all used to play when we were little. She said she had to get home, so we said our goodbyes and walked our separate ways. It seemed to take forever to get there. When I arrived through the cove entrance, I noticed the bent Paopu tree first. It was actually pretty deserted now a days.

I walked into the shack to the pier to cross over to the mini-island holding the Paupo tree. I set my bag down at the base of the tree and sat down on it. I kicked my feet back and forth since I couldn't touch the ground. I watched the seagulls fly around. I couldn't stop thinking about Sora. I heard footsteps coming up behind me. I turned around. My stomach did a flip at the sight of the exact person I was thinking about.

"Oh, heh, sorry to bother you. Don't mind me." Sora said when he reached me, standing at the trunk of the tree.

"You can sit down if you want you know." I said scooting over so he had room to sit down.

"Thanks." He said. Sora sighed as he looked out into the ocean. "I used to come here when I was younger. Me and my friends all used to hang out here." He mentioned. I just smiled. Of course I had already known that considering I was one of his friends.

"Are you glad to be back home?" I asked him. He looked at me and smiled.

"Of course. I just haven't seen one of my best friends, Kairi. I've seen Riku and he told me that they still hang out every once and awhile." Sora said. I looked at him and smiled, trying hard not to laugh. I mean it was kind of funny how he couldn't recognize me. Well I guess I have changed. My hair is longer and darker, plus I am more developed since last time he saw me. I was only 9. I jumped off the tree and grabbed my bag. He looked at me.

"It was nice talking to you Sora." I said starting to walk off down the pier.

"Wait, I didn't get your name. And wait a minute aren't you in almost every single class with me." He asked jumping off of the tree and looking at me. I turned around and smiled at him.

"Yeah I am almost in all your classes." I said ignoring the part about my name. I wanted to see if he would catch on if I called him by an old nickname that I used to call him. "See you tomorrow, you lazy bum." I turned back around and walked into the shack. I laughed to myself. I would always pick on Sora and call him a lazy bum since I would always find him sleeping on the shore when we were little. When I left the shack and headed to the Cove door, I turned around to see if Sora caught on. He looked completely stunned. He was still looking at me. I waved goodbye and walked through the door.

A/N: sorry it's so short! Hope to still get reviews!
