Authors Note: 'ello there lovely readers of this fantastic story! If you review, I, Kairi (a.k.a. Sorasgirl333), give you a cookie! Now on to this my side of the story!
Chapter 2
Hey there everyone, my name is Kairi, but mostly my friends call me Kai. You can call me what you want. I guess I'm pretty well known at school... I'm friends with mostly everyone, just ask my three best friends Namine, Tifa and Selphie.
I've grown up on the Destiny Islands forever, along with everyone on my block. It's kind of cool that I happen to live on the corner of this street that houses all my friends. Next door is Namine, across the street on the other corner is Tifa and a few houses down from her is Selphie. Just on the other side of Namine's house is Riku and next to Tifa's house is Sora's. Our other friends, Tidus and Wakka live down a few houses from Riku and Selphie. Coincidence huh? It's cool though.
Here's what's happening currently... everyone seems to be liking someone... meaning all of our friends. When it's the girls day out, we've talked about it. We've found out that Tifa likes Riku and Selphie likes Tidus. Namine and me didn't say anything. However, I did say I didn't like anyone but that was just a lie. Only Nam knows the truth.
Sora, Riku and I have grown up together from when were younger. I didn't want to admit it to anyone but I've liked Sora for an unbelievably long time now. Namine thinks I should try to talk to him, as more then just a friend and go out on a date, an actual date... not some friendship thing. I decided to wait it out.
Well, today happens to be the first day back to school for all of us. Eleventh grade at Destiny High. What a wonderful thing... yeah right. Here's how the story goes...
----
"Hey Kai!" Namine smiled as she ran up to me as I walked out my front door with my binders in my hands. Her light blonde hair swayed neatly side to side, her blue eyes sparkled brightly.
"Hey there Nam." I reply with a calm but very alive smile. "So you ready for school?"
"Yeah right." She said sarcastically. I laughed. "Hey, can I get a ride to school? I don't feel like driving."
"Yeah sure. Do you think anyone else would?" I asked waiting for the rest of my friends to step outside.
"Probably." Namine said. As soon as she said that, Tifa walked out.
"Kairi! Namine!" She waved happily. Tifa's long brown hair was tied up into a pony tail as part of her bangs draped over part of her face. Her brown eyes were big and bright.
"Hey there Tifa." I smiled as she reached my drive way.
"Hey Kai, do you think you could give me a ride to school?" Tifa asked politely. She was a sweet person but if you got on her bad side, well... you can ask the people she beat up.
"Yep, come on. We're going to be late if we don't get in." I said unlocking the doors. We all got into my car and buckled up.
"What about Selphie?" Nam asked looking from the passenger seat and over a few houses down.
"She's already at school." Tifa informed us.
"Ok." Namine turned back around. I backed up into the street and drove the three of us to school. This school wasn't too big, one story but it was long with quite a few different buildings you had to get to. Each building was labeled as 100 hall, 200 hall, 400 hall, 500 hall and 600 hall... yeah there isn't a 300 hall and I never understood that. I think they count it as the library.
"What class do you guys have?" I asked the two as we entered the commons. Tons of chattering students from the grades 10 to 12 were there. I guess since we only had 3 grades, it'd explain why the school wasn't so big. (A/N: in Douglas county, it's weird because elementary is K-6th, Middle school is 7-9th and High school is 10-12th)
"I have Science." Tifa said pulling out her schedule.
"I have Math... oh joy." Nam rolled her eyes as I laughed. "What about you?"
"I have History." I replied.
"Same here." Riku said walking up behind me. His silver hair was now a little longer then his shoulder and his eyes were more green then blue. He was defiantly a lot taller too!
"Oh cool! At least I have a class with someone I know." I said. The bell rang the obnoxious ring it had telling us to get to class or get in trouble. "Well, I'll see you guys at ten minute break."
"Later!" Namine waved at Riku and me as we headed to 400 hall to History. With block schedule I have History, Psychology and Photography on my 'A'days. Each class was almost two hours long, with a ten minute break in between 1st and 3rd period and then a 45 minute lunch before 5th period. My 'B' days consist of 2nd period English, 4th period Jazz Dance, which was my PE class and 6th period Math. (A/N: That really is my schedule too, and man to I hate 'B' Days!).
"So what classes do you have today?" Riku asked me as we headed outside from 200 hall to the 400's.
"I have Psychology then Photography." I said. He looked at me. "Er... what?"
"That's what I have to." He smiled.
"Nice." I laughed. "Wait, what teachers do you have?" He pulled out his schedule and started to look over it.
"Newlon for History, Newlon for Psychology and Kaluza for Photography." He read to me before sticking the paper back in his pocket.
"Ha, same here." I smiled.
"Cool." He laughed. The two of us headed into 400's and went to History class. We sat down on the side of the classroom in the middle. The bell rang again say that class was starting. I looked at the door and who I was assuming our teacher walked in. He was a tall heavy man with thin short light brown hair and glasses.
"Welcome to History! I'm your teacher Mr. Newlon." He waved. The class remained silent. "Aren't you all just so happy to be here, back to school..."
"I'm not." A boy in the back row said.
"Well, get in line." Mr. Newlon said turning to the board to write something. "When that bell rings, I'm first out that door. I'm a big man, I can knock you all down." That remark caused quite a few laughs through out the room. Riku and me were one of them.
"Mr. Newlon." A girl on the other side of the room raised her hand. He turned around to look at her. "Can I go to the bathroom?"
"I don't know can you?" He asked causing us to laugh again.
"Uh... does that mean I can go?"
"Again, does that mean you can?" Another girl sitting next to her whispered something I her ear.
"May I go to the bathroom?"
"Yes you may." Newlon smiled. We all smiled too. He seemed like he was going to be a cool teacher. I was glad I was going to have him for two classes. Mr. Newlon explained the class rules just like any normal teacher would on the first day back. After class was over, Riku and I headed to 200 hall to the 'pit'. The 'pit' was this odd shaped circle, on the outside was like a bench all around except for the ends. There were two things of stairs across from each other where just 3 steps down was inside the 'pit'. It was like the outside with a bench lining the inside on both sides.
"So how was your first period?" Tifa asked. Namine and me sat down.
"Good, fun class, cool teacher." Riku answered.
"Hey guys!" Selphie, our 24/7 happy-go-lucky friend waved enthusiastically as she ran down the hall to us.
"Hey Selph." Nam waved.
"Dude Riku! What's up man?" Tidus said walking through the doors.
"Not a lot, you?" He replied as they gave each other high-fives.
"Hey Tidus!" Selphie grinned.
"Hey." Tidus said with out even looking at her. "So did you watch the game last night!" I changed my attention to Selphie and Namine.
"It's okay Selph, he'll come around." Namine said.
"Yeah don't worry about it." Tifa said.
"Yeah I know." Selphie sighed.
"Hey guys!" I looked up to see Sora walking up to the pit. I bit my bottom lip nervously before I smiled and waved back.
"Hey Sora." I replied. He smiled back at me.
"Hey, uh what classes does everyone have?" Sora asked pulling out his schedule. The rest of us did too.
"I have History then Art." Namine said.
"I have P.E. then Art." Selphie smiled. "Yay, we have a class together!"
"I have History then Math." Tifa rolled her eyes.
"I have P.E. then English." Tidus read.
"Psychology and Photography." Riku said.
"Ditto." I responded.
"Science then Photography." Sora told us.
"Yes, the three of us have Photography together." I cheered. Riku and Sora smiled at me. Unfortunately the bell rang so we had to go to class. Riku and I headed to Psychology, Namine and Tifa went to History, Selphie and Tidus went to P.E. and Sora went to Science. Once again Newlon just explained the class rules for this class. It was cool cause he said we get to bring in food if we're hungry as long as we pay attention. I was pretty excited about this class.
After 3rd period, the group once again met up with each other at the pit. We agreed to head to Dairy Queen for lunch since we get to eat off campus. We walked across the large soccer field to the fast food restaurant. I knew it was going to be a mistake, every sophomore now got the privilege to eat off campus and I knew there were going to be there! I knew this cause, well... I did last year too. We got in the super long lines and ordered our food. After a while of waiting we got everyone's lunch and went to look for a seat.
"Hey over here!" I looked up to see Aerith waving her hand in the air. She was sitting next to Yuffie, Leon and Cloud. The seven of us sat by them. "How was your summers?"
"Good, how about yours?" I answered for all of us since all we really did was hang out the whole time.
"Aerith and Cloud are going out!" Yuffie yelled. We all looked over at them. Aerith was blushing and Cloud was... smiling.
"Aw!" I smiled.
"How sweet!" Namine said.
"So tell us the details!" I said eagerly.
"Hey, do you guys think of anything other then this stuff?" Leon asked. Namine and me looked at each other before looking back at them.
"No." We replied simultaneously.
"You two wont ever change will you?" Cloud said shaking his head. The two of us laughed. We have known the four of them since middle school. Cloud, Leon, Aerith and Yuffie are all seniors this year. After talking about Cloud and Aerith and eating lunch, we headed back to class.
Sora, Riku and I headed to Photography together. Our teacher had set up the tables so it was three rows and six columns, only two people per table. Sora and me sat next to each other and Riku sat across the isle closest to Sora. Our teacher, Ms. Kaluza came in.
"Hello class. Welcome to Photography." She said. She handed us papers explaining what we were going to be doing. A girl with long blonde hair and big, bright green eyes walked in.
"Sorry I'm late. I've got a pass." The girl walked up to Ms. Kaluza and handed her a yellow pass.
"Well... Destiny, go ahead, looks like there is a spot next to that gentleman right there." She pointed to Riku. (A/N: I really do know a Destiny, but she's nothing like this one. I just needed a new girl) Destiny nodded and sat next to Riku. We began class. After school was out, we headed out to the parking lot.
"Did you see that girl?" Riku said.
"You mean Destiny?" Sora asked. Riku nodded. "Yeah, she's defiantly not bad looking!"
"Who's Destiny?" Tidus asked.
"This really good looking Junior in Photography class." Riku answered. I rolled my eyes. 'Idiots...'I thought. We walked by my car.
"Hey, Selphie you want a ride home with me, Nam and Tifa?" I asked.
"Sure." She responded. We waved to the guys as we got in the car.
"Great, now the guys are obsessed with a girl they don't even know!" Tifa said.
"Yeah... hey Kai, what's this girl look like?" Selphie asked.
"She's a decent height, maybe 110 pounds, perfectly straight long blonde hair, shiny green eyes... and she's well developed for our age..." I said as I pulled out of the parking lot and started to head home.
"Oh, she's one of those girls." Namine said rolling her eyes.
"Yes, unfortunately." I agreed.
"Least you guys don't have to worry. Sora and Riku are probably getting Tidus interested in this chick. Now I have to worry." Selphie said.
"Hey, I have to worry about Riku." Tifa said. Nam and me looked at each other. If only they knew that I had to worry about Sora. I felt bad for Namine because she didn't really have to worry, I mean it's good that she doesn't and all but it's kind of depressing that my best friend can't find a guy. We arrived home after a short drive. The four of us went to our homes.
"Hey, I'm home." I said as I walked in the house. My orange and white Persian cat, Precious, walked up to me and wrapped around my leg. I picked her up and hugged her.
"How was your first day back?" My mom asked from the den.
"It was boring." I responded. I started to head for my room.
"Did you and Sora hang out?" She had a smirk on her face. My eyes widened.
"How... how did you know?" I asked shocked.
"I'm a mom, I know these things." She laughed. I shook my head with a smile.
"Unfortunately no. I think the guys are interested in this new chick, Destiny." I explained.
"What about Tifa and Selphie, aren't they worried?" My mom asked. The four of us are close to my mom so they trust her enough to tell them things. I nodded.
"I'm gonna go hang out in my room for a while." I said walking to my room. I put Precious down on my bed and watched TV until it started to get dark. I called up Namine.
"Hey Nam, meet me in my backyard." I said.
"Alright." We both hung up the phone as I walked out into my backyard. I laid on my back and watched the stars twinkling above. After about a minute, Namine came and she laid next to be. It was silent.
"I can't believe this. I really don't like this new girl." I said after a long period of silence.
"I'm sorry Kai." Namine said. I sighed.
"It's so pretty out here. I'd love to do this with Sora some time." I said examining all the stars so high above.
"You will. I hope I'll find someone..." Namine got quiet. I looked at her.
"Namine, I promise. Someone is out there for you. You'll meet him soon." I said reassuringly.
"You think?" She asked.
"I know." I smiled. She smiled back.
"Thanks Kai." Namine said.
"Hey, that's what best friends are for." I turned back to the stars. 'I wish Sora was here...' I sighed.
A/N: so I'm done with my chapter! Yay me. I made mine a decent size too. Hope you guys liked it and love to hear your reviews!
