Chapter 3- Sleepover Invite
The next day finally rolled around. I got ready and waited for Namine to show up.
"Hey Nam." I said cheerfully as I saw her my door.
"Hey Kai. You seem happy." She replied. I just smiled at her. "So where are we going today?"
"We can go out to eat and then go rent some movies." I said.
"Alright." We walked over to a small little restaurant. Namine and I sat down at a small table reading our menus.
"Can I start you off with something to drink?" I heard someone ask us. I looked over my menu.
"Riku?" I said shocked. Riku looked up from his order booklet.
"Kairi?" He responded in the same manner.
"Riku?" Namine said.
"Namine?" He said looking at Nam.
"I didn't know you worked here." I said.
"I just got the job." Riku looked at Namine. "Hey! Haven't seen you in forever, how's your new school?"
"I love it there." Namine said.
"Listen I better get back to work, I can't chat with the customers." Riku said.
"Okay, I'll take a sprite." I said.
"I'll take a coke." Nam said. Riku marked it down.
"Be back." We ate our lunch and headed to the rental store. We ended up renting three movies; we headed back to my house.
"Okay, Red Eye, War Of the Worlds, or Exorcism of Emily Rose?" I asked holding up the three movies.
"Uh, Red Eye." Namine said sitting down on the couch. We watched all three movies until it was time for her to go. "I had fun."
"Me too. Thanks for coming!" I said hugging her. She smiled. "Bye."
"Bye." She went home. My last day of my weekend went by too fast for my own liking. I got ready for school at my normal time and headed out. I walked to meet everyone in the commons. When I got to the table, Selphie jumped up out of the chair next to Tidus and almost made me fall backwards. Luckily Sora caught me. I smiled gratefully.
"Sorry Kairi." Selphie said. "Um, I'm having a sleep over at the beach behind my house on Saturday to Sunday. Wanna come?"
"Sure." I smiled sitting down at the table. The bell rang not too long after.
English was regular old English. History came. Leon happened to be in this class with Sora, Tidus and me. Again, he sat next to me. It went Leon, me, Sora, Tidus and two other people I didn't really know. We all sat in the back row. Mr. Lou cam in, he was pretty young. I looked over at Sora who smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Okay, the person next to you will be your partner. We're going to have the two of you present a chapter to the class." Mr. Lou said to us. "After everyone presents in three weeks, I'm going over everything that anyone missed. Now I'll assign your chapters." He went on from the first group and made his way around the room. "Kairi, Leon, you guys get chapter 13."
"Alright." I nodded and looked at Leon. He smiled at me so I smiled back. 'Leon's really nice and all, but I wish I was paired with Sora.' I looked at Sora and Tidus, they were laughing about something.
"Okay, you may work on your projects until the end of class." Mr. Lou said. We all began to talk. For the whole hour, we discussed what we're going to do. When school ended for the day, I was relieved. I just wanted to go home. Once I got home, I got online. Selphie was on.
KairiCat333: Hey Selph
LotOfLove7: Hey Kai, can u make it sat?
KairiCat333: Hold on, I'll ask.
LotOfLove7: ok
I ran out of my room and into my moms. I asked her and she was okay with it.
KairiCat333: Yeah, I can. Should I bring my swimsuit?
LotOfLove7: yeah, can't wait!
KairiCat333: So who's all going?

LotOfLove7: I g2g, see ya
KairiCat333: ok, bye bye
I stayed online for a bit long, but no one got on. I got off the computer, turned on the stereo and laid on my bed. That song by Liz Phair, 'Everything To Me' started, the one that reminded me of Sora (A/N: if you guys remember, I said if I found the lyrics I would post them. : D I got em!) I sighed and sang along.
I bet it makes you laugh
Watching me work so hard to reach you
You never gave a damn
About all of those things I did to please you
All that you wanted, you found somewhere else
And nothing could drag you away from yourself
Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me
Lucky I've been through hell
Backroads and shortcuts I know them well
Baby just stick with me
We'll make it together, just wait and see
Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me
The walls they close in
The air it goes out
We're left with nothing but a shadow of doubt
Nobody talks, no one is here
It's just you and me
Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me
Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me
I bet it makes you laugh
Watching me work so hard to reach you
I gave a small laugh at the end of the song. 'Yep, it still fits me.' I thought. The rest of the school week went by super slow. I was glad when Saturday rolled around. I found out Namine couldn't go since I called the day before to ask. I was bummed since I would be left alone, well not really alone, but with Lori.
"Okay mom, I'm gonna go! See you tomorrow!" I yelled from the door.
"Okay, have fun!" She called back as I left. I ran as fast as I could with my backpack filled with my pj's extra clothes, swimsuit and other things and my pillow in my arms. When I got to Selphie's house, which was four streets away, I was pretty tired. I knocked on the door and she answered.
"Hey! You're the first to show up!" Selphie said as I stepped into her house. We walked into her room, where I put all my things down. I decided to change into my extra clothes. Selphie went to get us drinks as I changed. "Hey, nice outfit." She replied walking in with two Pepsi's
"Thanks." I was wearing a short faded black denim skirt with a red tank top and a small red hoodie with my black vans.
"Lori should be here soon." Selphie said while we got things gathered outback for her sleepover. Her back yard was huge! She had a big deck with a hot tub on the corner edge. At least fifty feet of grass and a white fence separated the beach and her yard.
"Gosh, you much be rich!" I said gazing out at her backyard. She laughed. We heard the doorbell and Selphie's mom answered it. Just seconds later, Lori came out. I sighed but put on a smile.
"Hello Selphie, Kairi." Lori said. I waved while those two hugged. "So when are the other's arriving?"
"A little later tonight." Selphie relied. We set up everything else until eight. "Hey, you guys remember your lines from our concert last year?"
"Yeah…" Lori and me said.
"Want to sing again, except we'll have fun instead of playing it out?" Selphie asked.
"Alright!" I said. Selphie got out her CD player with the song on it. We all walked to the edge of the grass by the white fence and faced the back of the house. Lori started the music. We all began to sing.
We all let loose and started dancing. It was hard not to laugh, I'm sure we looked like complete idiots. The song was coming to an end. The two girls sang their 'sha la la's' as I sang my ending.
At least out loud, I wont say I'm in (Sha la la la la) Love.
My eyes were closed as I sang the last part. Once the music ended, I opened my eyes. From the porch came clapping. My mouth dropped open at the sight of Sora, Cloud, Leon, Tidus, Wakka and a girl from choir named Kelly.
"Uh, how long have you been there?" I asked looking at them.
"Only half way." Kelly replied. I blushed. The three of us were acting like complete morons up there.
"Sounded good." Cloud said walking up to us. I noticed all of them had extra things as if they were sleeping over.
"Um Selph, can I talk to you?" I pulled her to the other side of the yard. "Are they sleeping here too?"
"Yeah, we invited Riku too, but he had to work. Why?"
"Why didn't you tell me? I'm going to die! If my parents find out, I'll be in so much trouble!" I said freaking out.
"Kairi, calm down." Selphie said putting her hands on my shoulders. 'Oh, I'm going to be in so much trouble!' I thought to myself biting my bottom lip. "You wont be in trouble, they wont find out." I shook my head.
"Maybe I should leave." I said running up to the house and into Selphie's room. The least likely person I was expecting to come in came in.
"Kairi, you can't leave. I was wondering if you could help me out on something, please." Lori asked. I turned around.
"Meaning?" I crossed my arms. Selphie came in.
"Well, I want to go out with Leon. I really like him. Since you two seem like friends, do you think you could help me?" Lori actually sounded serious. I sighed.
"Fine." I replied bluntly.
"Yay! You're staying!" Selphie ran over hugging me, Lori did too.
"Thank you so much Kairi!" Lori said.
"Are we going swimming or what?" Sora said from the door. He was in red and black swim trunks.
"Hold on, we'll be out soon." Lori told him. We all went into separate rooms and changed. The nine of us all jumped into the luke warm ocean water. Since the sun was setting, the pink and orange sky reflected off the blue water, giving it a purple tint. We all ended up getting into a water fight, so I swam under the water a few feet of hitting range. When I reached the surface, I saw a blond staring at us with a bag on the porch.
"Namine!" I yelled happily swimming to shore. When I reached her, I pulled her into a big hug, getting her clothes a little damp.
"Hey, are all of them sleeping over?" Namine said pointing to everyone.
"Yeah." I said looking back at everyone who was now running up to meet us. I looked back at Nam and gave her an evil smirk. "Even Cloud." Namine smiled.
"Hey Nam, I thought your mom wasn't going to let you come?" Cloud asked giving her a kiss.
"I told her, 'How often do I get to see my friends from Destiny High?'" She explained.
"Good point." I agreed.
"Well, hurry and change, so we can go swimming again." Selphie said as everyone but Nam and me ran back into the water to continue their water fight. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me as the two of us walked into Selphie's house.
"Selphie's room is down that hall and her bathroom is across from it." I said pointing down a long hallway.
"Okay, be right back." Namine said walking down the hall as I went into the kitchen. I opened the fridge to look for bottled water. Suddenly, I felt a pair of cold wet hands grip onto my shoulders. I jumped up right and spun around to face who touched me.
A/N: yay another chapter is up! Hopefully if I'm not too busy the rest of the weekend, I can get chapter 4 up! Please review and thanks reviewers!
