Chapter 4- Confessions

For some reason, I kept getting side tracked from my homework when I got home. My mind kept telling me I was so lucky to have my friends. I already knew that, but I didn't know why it stayed in my head. I tapped the pencil against my head as I stared at my unfinished essay for English. We had to write about what we were thankful for. 'Duh! Why don't I just write about my friends if they wont leave my thoughts?' I shook my head.

What I am thankful for the most would have to be my friends. They're always there for me, cheering me up when I need to be. My best friend Namine is always there for me. She's exactly like a sister that I never had. I couldn't be any happier that she's apart of my life. I don't know what I would do with out her.

I looked at my work. So far so good. I continued on with my essay and soon I was done. I placed my paper into my binder and I ate dinner. Soon after, I watched a little TV before I fell asleep.

The next day was just about as boring as any other school day that has to torture us. However in art, we got a break from all the hard work. Mr. Bulman told us to get into groups of four and work on a project together. The project was to combined all of your talents with your group members and create a masterpiece. Namine and I stood up from our seats and looked around the classroom for people to join us.

"So who's going to be in our group?" Namine asked. I looked around some more.

"Uh…. I have no idea…" I told her.

"Hey, can we join you?" Sora asked pulling up a seat next to me while Cloud sat next to Namine. Namine blushed as Cloud smiled at her.

"Sure." I said with a smile. Namine and I took our seats. 'Maybe getting him wont be so bad.' Mr. Bulman passed out a large piece of paper to each group along with colored pencils.

"So we have to draw a landscape using all of our skills?" Cloud asked looking at the blank sheet in front of us.

"Yeah. Pretty much." Namine said blushing even more. I put my hand over my mouth and looked down. I wanted to laugh so badly. Namine looked at me and let out a sigh that sound like she was in love. I let out a small laugh.

"Well, let's get started." Sora said so readily and positively that it sent chills up my spine. We worked on our project for about fifteen minutes when Namine told me something that made me stop dead in my tracks.

"Um Kairi." Namine said. I looked up from drawing a cloud.

"Hum?" I asked looking at her. I noticed she wasn't looking at me. She continued to draw.

"Uh…. You remember how that private school was taking new students? And well I said I might try to go for it?" She said quietly.

"Yeah…." Now Sora and Cloud were looking up.

"Well, um, I went for it."

"And?"

"Well, I got in." I looked at her. I was still. I knew she really wanted to go there, but the consequence for me was she wouldn't be here with me anymore. Sora decided to speak up.

"You got in?" He said with a small smile. Namine slowly lifted her head and nodded. "Same with Cloud and me." My heart was sinking so fast. Now not only did I find out that Namine was leaving, now Sora and Cloud. 'I can't believe this. I don't want to.' I felt as if my stomach was turning into a huge pit. I snapped out of my staring faze and gave a fake smile.

"Good for you guys." I said looking down at our drawing. My vision was getting blurry. Tears filled my eyes. I quickly wiped them away.

"Are you okay?" Sora asked. I made sure that I couldn't feel any more tears. I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes. I sighed.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I looked over at Namine. She just looked at me blankly. I looked back down and continued to draw. I'll admit it, I was mad at her. 'Why is leaving? I can't believe she would do this to me!' Then I began to really think about it. 'Wait, I can't be mad at her, this is her choice. But now she'll have both Sora and Cloud. I don't want to be alone. I think…. I think the reason why I can't deal with it was because…. I was scared.' Tears began to cover my vision again. One lonely teardrop left my eye and landed right under my cloud.

"It's raining!" Cloud joked around. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry." I said wiping my eyes again and sniffling. Next thing I got wasn't something I was expecting to get. Sora pulled me closer. He wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back. When he let go, I smiled at him. He smiled back at me. Again I got another hug, but this time it was from Namine.

"I'm sorry." Nam said when she let go.

"Don't be. It's not your fault. Congrats on getting in." I truly was happy but just a little upset at the same time.

"Thanks." We all continued to work on our project until the bell rang. We went on to the rest of our classes trying to keep of the subject of Nam leaving. Finally the very end of the day was here, everyone in choir was packing up and leaving.

"I'll see you later Namine." I said.

"It's the weekend! Why are you staying at school?" Namine looked at me like I was nuts.

"Wow, you really are blond. Remember? I have to work on that play for the trio act."

"Oh yeah! Ok then, I'll you." Namine left. I sighed as I walked into the back into the choir room.

"Ok Kairi, stand in the middle. Put your hands on your hips. Lori and Selphie stand on each side of Kairi. All of you look down." Mrs. Stephlin said as we got into our starting position. "When we began the song, look up."

No chance, no way

I wont say it, no no

"Good. Now Kairi, look down into the audience while you sing the beginning. Girls, look at Kairi while she's singing. Talk, well… sing, but make it look like your having a conversation when it's your turn. Try to find out who Kairi likes."

We went through the song. It was actually pretty fun. Finally at four o'clock, we were done. The song was getting kind of annoying after about two hours. I walked outside and headed home.

"Kairi!" I turned around to see Lori and Selphie behind me. "So Kairi, is there any lucky guy you have in mind?" Lori asked. 'Figures she would ask that. Miss boy-crazy.'

"Uh, um…" I began. I couldn't tell her. I didn't trust her after all the crap that happened in middle school. Every time I liked a guy and told her, she would make my life a living hell. And now with her popularity, it would just get around faster. Selphie on the other hand was nice and I trusted her.

"Well, obviously you do like someone our else you wouldn't have stalled this long." Lori said kind of evilly. I looked away rolling my eyes as I continued walking.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked. They were following me.

"I could see you were thinking about someone while we were singing."

"Fine, I do like someone." I admitted.

"Who?"

"Well… Sora Landon." I couldn't believe I just said that.

"Oh! Yeah, he is pretty hott. I have a crush on him as well. How weird that me and you like him." Lori said. 'Wonderful, now I have major competition.' "I was planning on asking him out."

"Oh…" I felt even lower then I did before. First Namine, now this. "I better get going. Bye." I ran as fast as I could. After a few blocks, I walked home.

"Hi." I said quietly when I walked in.

"How was school?" My dad asked. I just shrugged and went into my room. I laid on my bed with my back against the wall. My mind was boggled with all this information. I started to daze off and I went into a flashback.

Flashback

It was the first day of seventh grade. I rode the bus to middle school since it was further away then the high school. When I got on, I looked at all of the people. I saw a small girl with blond hair and shy blue eyes. I gave half smile as we got each other's eyes. She smiled shyly back as I made my way to the back of the bus and sat down.

Now it was the first day back for eighth grade. When I got on the bus, I saw Namine Fuller. She smiled and gave a small wave when I sat down a seat across the isle from her. I returned the hello.

This time, it was ninth grade. Namine became one of my best friends. I got on the bus and saw that she wasn't sitting with anyone. I sat down next to her.

"Ready for school?" I asked.

"Yeah right." She looked funny, but then we ended up laughing.

End of Flashback

I soon began to think about Sora. Now he was leaving me, again, plus the short time I still have left with him, Lori will be trying to get with him. Sora was perfect in every way possible to me, even when he made a mistake, I didn't see it as a fault. Why did Lori try taking every guy I had? First Caleb and now Sora. I'm not going to let her, not this time. I sighed as I turned on my radio.

"This is 'Everything To Me' by Liz Phair." The DJ said on the radio. The music began to play. (A/N: since it's a brand new song, it's not out anywhere yet… that is if you're trying to look for the lyrics or song, but as soon as I find the lyrics, I'll post them up. All it says is how if you really like me, will you be there when I need you, type of thing.) 'Oh how this song works.'

I got up and looked in my mirror. If this means I have to fight for Sora, I will. She not going to control my life anymore. I know I can win. I walked out of my room and into the living room.

"Mom, I'm going to the beach, I'll be back in a little while." I said as I opened the door.

"Ok." My mom said back as I walked outside and closed the door.

A/N: Well this chapter was a little longer. Please Review!
