Chapter 3:

Shuyin was mumbling to Sora about the plan. Sora finished putting the last tube onto the tower for his homework, and walked off to his desk humming happily.

"Got that?"

"Yeah, yeah," answered Sora as he dressed up for the dance.

Today was the day where Riku had held the dance. And it was the day where Sora would humiliate Riku once again.

"Shoot," Sora said. "I can't find it."

"What?" Shuyin asked. Sora shook his head and head out the door for the dance. Shuyin shrugged.

"Oh, when I get that Hikari kid, I'm going to crack him," Riku said dangerously. His glare made everyone back away that a blower.

"You should take a –"

"I will not take a rest! That bastard is bugging me to hell, and I can't take it anymore!" Riku yelled at Seifer. "You will help me, oh yes you will, and when the dance ends, something's better happen to Sora!"

"Y-yes," Seifer stuttered before running away. Riku had just got rid of the pink hair and now was thinking 101 ways to kill Sora.

"And now Kairi's turning away from me. I can't take it anymore!" He slammed his fist on a poor boy's locker, and the boy scampered away quickly, shaking with fear. No body messed with Riku. And now Sora was really going to pay the price.

Namine looked down at her skirt. She wasn't really into dancing, and from Sora's face, she could tell that Sora felt the same way. He was wearing the same thing, being too lazy to change. She decided to wear her white dress that reached down to her shin. It was almost like her favorite dress.

"I hope you know what you're doing," Namine told Sora.

"I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe Shuyin does. And whatever he does better not get me into trouble. My parents will ki – I mean they just won't be happy," Sora said. He hasn't told anyone about his abusive parents. How did I survive? I hope no one read my diary.

"Are you okay Sora? You seem… distant lately."

"I'm okay," Sora answered hurriedly. "Come on, we'll be late." Four years past, eight months came, two weeks later, one the day of Friday, right in the school. Does anyone know? Nobody knows. And when they do, it's too late.

They walked together, no hand to hand, into the ball room, which was located at the seventh floor, the highest part in school excluding the roof part (pretty big huh? OO).

And when they opened the double doors, he found a bouncy Selphie and a sleepy Tidus. Will I ever be like them?

He looked around the dancing room, and found Namine tugging his sleeve. "Let's go find Shuyin. He said he was going to be at the girl's bathroom."

"The girl's bathroom?" Sora asked. "Isn't that a little… weird?"

"Don't worry, nobody ever goes in there," Namine said assuredly. They strode over to the bathroom, passing a lot of happy looking couples, and Riku and Kairi dancing. Riku didn't seem to notice Sora though. Will Kairi find out? Sora shook his head to stop thinking such thoughts. Sora took Namine's wrist and dragged her away to the girl's bathroom.

"Hello?" Namine yelled in the big – no very big bathroom. She kept yelling "hello" until a hand went over her mouth.

"Shush, you don't want us to be found here, do you?" Shuyin hissed in her ear. Namine quickly shook her head.

The bathroom was pretty much two rooms connected. One part was the sinks, and the other part was the bathroom stalls. Water was slightly flowing out of one of the taps and resulted as hitting the ground. There was a drainer built because of the problem.

"Okay, I've already set the trap up," Shuyin said. "Now I need a little help. We do not want this problem to include us; we want it to exclude us. Riku may already know that it would be you or one of your friends. But we don't want anyone else to know so we're going to disappear here okay? I'll be okay because I'll hide.

"What's the trick?" Sora waited patiently for his answer. What if I do get in trouble? My parents will kill me.

"I've put colorless ketchup, chocolate milk, and lots of other things in the beverages. I've frozen cockroaches into ice cubes and put them in the beverages as well. It's not one of the big ones I made –"

"Like putting alcohol in the drinks last year," Namine whispered and sighed.

"– But it's a starter, and my parents will seriously kill me this time if I did that trick again," Shuyin finished.

No, my parents will kill me, Sora mused to himself and finished his long line of thoughts.

"So I'd advise you to go out now, and tell that to the entire fellow Outsiders," ordered Shuyin.

"We're not in the military," said Namine. "Come on Sora, I don't want to get in trouble either."

Either way I'll be in trouble with Riku. Sora nodded in agreement and hurried away with Namine to find all his friends. Their friends soon got the message and left.

"Kairi, why were you so friendly to Sora?" Riku took a sip of the "beverage." A few seconds later he sputtered the liquid out and spat swearing words.

"Is there something wrong with the drink?" Kairi asked. She tried to change where the conversation was going, but Riku was aiming to keep it on the road to where he wanted to be.

"Don't act 'I don't know anything'," Riku angrily. The orange juice tasted horrible, something almost like… ketchup with mayo. And he hated both.

"I-I… I was just playing with him," Kairi lied. Riku looked surprised, then he smirked.

"Just how I like my girlfriend to be. Now let's ignore the juice and get back to the slow dance." Kairi nodded swiftly, not uttering anything more about the topic.

Meanwhile, Shuyin cackled silently. "Riku, Riku, that drink was especially made for you," Shuyin snickered. That was the only drink he added with something else, so the rest of the victims that also drank the orange juice wouldn't act like Riku in the morning…

"My name's chicken wing o' grandpa," Riku said tiredly when he woke up. Seifer heard his comment and lowered his head down, looking at Riku from the top of the bed.

"Are you okay?" Seifer asked. Riku giggled and slapped Seifer.

"Sorry," Riku laughed. Seifer raised an eyebrow, and then jumped off of bed to get the blood rushing back down to his body.

"You're so not yourself," Seifer said suspiciously.

"Ooh, really? It must have been that orange juice yesterday. It's not alcohol, but I don't feel really well," croaked Riku. He moaned before lying back down to his bed. "You go on without me. I don't want to get humiliated in front of my fans, and not Sora," Riku spat the last word like venom out of his mouth. He was still angry that nothing happened to Sora yet, and that all this had to happen. But he was going to save his energy if he wanted to beat Sora up.

"Sora, when I get better, you'll regret the day you stepped into my life," Riku sighed with anger.

Kairi looked over to her desk. There was a picture of Riku hugging Kairi. They were camping, and obviously, Kairi was scared in it.
Kairi didn't feel like she should be its owner. Maybe it would be better off with Riku. But then again, Riku gave it to her on Valentine's Day.

Then she spotted something over at the top of her binder. Some kind of book. Kairi looked at its nice cover. A sewing an island found at the top of the red frame, sewed to the blue background. There was a bookmark hanging in the book, with a mini plastic key at the end. A blue ribbon bounded the front and back covers, and in the middle, which the frame surrounded, was his name. His name. Sora Hikari.

Kairi opened the book and read the random page.

June 30

'Nother day of hurt, despair, and… something. My mom and dad went away to a cruise ship party, and they would never let me get included. Instead, they made me clean, polish, and make everything perfect in the house. If there was even one place bad, like maybe a small scratch on the desk, they'll ground me until I go back to my boarding school. And they'll punch me, kick me, cut me, almost anything they could think of. I guess I'm really a Nobody. Nothing much more to say, except my left hand is bleeding like mad.

Sora

Kairi couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at the back of the book. It had a little note:

From: Mom

To: My Sora

Happy Birthday Sora. You're five years old. I'm sorry I couldn't live long enough to see forth to this day. Good-bye.

Kairi flipped to the first page.

July 26

My daddy is still missing. And my mommy died. Now they are ordering a funeral, and I am getting new parents – my aunt and uncle. And I know how they are and they will make me call them "mommy and daddy." I will use this diary to remember that my mommy still loves me, and that my daddy may still be alive. I feel lonely.

Sora

Kairi closed it quickly. She didn't feel like reading it anymore. How could Sora be that way? When she first met Sora, he was strange, and really talkative. And that was his life?

A pain of guilt rushed through Kairi. "I'm sorry, Sora. I'm so sorry."

Author's Endnote: If some of you guys are confused, Sora was trying to find his dairy at the beginning of the chapter.
