The New Girl: The Get-Together

It was five forty-five at Sora's house, and he had about ten minutes to get ready. He didn't really have time to change his clothes and fix his unruly hair, but I guess he could live with it for one night. So he sped downstairs, waved good-bye to his mom, and left.

As he was walking on the concrete path, he saw his friends Riku and Kairi walking along the opposite side of the street.

"Hey, guys!" He yelled waving his hands in the air.

He then ran across the street and over to his friends.

"Hey, Sora." Kairi said, smiling.

"So, you guys, you're heading to cafe', right?"

They both nodded as Riku replied reassuringly, "Yeah, but where's Augusta?"

Sora answered, unsure, "Well, she's not with me… so I guess she's already there."

Riku then replied jokingly, "Whatever… shortie."

He and Kairi then started laughing hysterically.

Sora just crossed his arms and replied angrily, "Would you quit with the 'shortie' nickname! I'm getting tired of it!"

Riku and Kairi stopped laughing and fakely apologized, "We're sorry…"

They finally got to the cafe' five minutes late only to find Augusta waiting for them at a table. The three friends then walked over towards the table. Sora beside Augusta, Augusta beside Kairi, Kairi beside Riku, and Riku beside Sora. The waiter then came to their table, the four teens placed their orders, and the waiter left.

Kairi's eyes widened as she said, "Oh, great… just what we need."

Everyone turned their heads around and saw Cloud and Alyssa walking into the cafe'. The two scanned the cafe' for a table but they found the four staring at them so they walked over to them trying to cause trouble.

Augusta then faced Alyssa and blurted out, "Oh… look what the cat brought in."

Alyssa still had that smirk on her face, "Cloud… Augusta's making fun of me…"

Cloud then quickly turned towards Augusta and walked over to her with fire in his eyes.

Augusta gulped helplessly until Sora came to the rescue by getting up from his seat, standing in front of Augusta and demanding, "Hey, why don't you just leave her alone?"

Cloud still with fire in his eyes stood tall and replied, "…Who said?"

Sora thought quickly and said, "… I did."

Cloud exchanged evil looks with Alyssa and smiled suspiciously, "Awww… Sora has a crush…"

Sora's eyes were as big as grapefruits by now, but he didn't reply.

"Oh well… have fun with your loser pals and your sweet little girlfriend."

They then both walked away as Sora plummeted himself to his seat.

The waiter then sat their coffee cups down on the table.

"You know Sora, you didn't have to defend me back there… I can take care of myself…" Augusta said as she stirred her coffee.

Sora didn't speak. He just grabbed a packet of sugar, poured it into his coffee cup and started to stir it. Everything was quiet. No one spoke.

Kairi couldn't stand it, she had to do something. "Come on, guys! Let's perk up! How about we ditch this place and go for a walk on the beach… huh?"

Everyone stared at Kairi for a minute until Sora replied, "Okay. Let's go."

So they all got up from their seats and walked out of the cafe' leaving some change behind.

After the long walk from the cafe' to the sandy shores of the beach, they finally arrived.

Kairi suddenly yelled, "Guys! Let's go get some ice-cream!"

She dashed towards the ice-cream cart with her friends following. After placing their favorite ice-cream order and receiving it, the four friends started their walk on the beach.

Kairi then got a great idea. She explained to Sora and Augusta that her and Riku wanted some time alone, so she grabbed Riku's arm and they headed for the sand dunes.

As they where walking towards the sandy dunes, Riku nodded and lifted an eyebrow, "Ahhh…I see where you're going with this...where are you going with this?"

Kairi rolled her eyes as she sighed, "I'll tell you. I'm leaving those two together so they can have some 'alone' time." She finished as they sat on top of the dunes.

Sora and Augusta where still walking along the shores as Sora apologized staring at his shoes, "Um…I'm sorry I defended you back at the cafe'. I know you can handle yourself."

Augusta placed a hand on Sora's shoulder and replied sweetly, "Oh, it's okay. I know you only did it because we're friends."

They stopped at a place in the sand, sat down beside each other, and gazed out at the sunset making sparkles dance across the water. Sora then took a moment to notice that Augusta's hand was right beside his so he took the chance and placed his hand on top of hers as he looked back into the sunset.

Augusta's head turned towards the ground beside her to find Sora's hand placed on top of hers. She smiled and didn't dare move.

She liked that warm feeling inside when he touched her. She felt safe and complete, but what about Sora? Did he feel the same way?

Me: So what did you think? Looks like Augusta has some feelings for Sora. But what if Sora doesn't have any for her? Please r&r to find out!
