Chapter 5- Kairi's Birthday Surprise
-Sora's POV-
I stood up to face him, gripping my notebook tightly at my side. I gave a very slight glare, nothing too noticeable but something that was there. Why him, of all people, does he have to be right here at this moment?
"Look Sora, I know what I did to Kairi was pretty horrible, but see the thing is I see she was so happy to be with you. By the looks of it, you miss her too." Caleb said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked. Yeah, he might have been true but no way was I going to let him know that.
"Because you're always looking at her. After band is over, you wait in the door way until Choir lets out and after Kairi leaves, you do too." He said. Ok, so he did have a point. He has come up to me before and asked what I was waiting for and it just happened to slip out of my mouth.
"Okay… the point of this conversation would be what?" I asked slightly irritated.
"I want to help you and Kairi get back together." Caleb said casually. I thought my eyes were going to pop right out of my head.
"Wha… wait what did you just say?" I asked in disbelief.
"I. Want. To. Help. You. And. Kairi. Get. Back. Together." He said clearly. I still couldn't believe what I just heard. I mean this is the guy that broke Kairi's heart in the first place. Why in the world would he want to help me?
"What's the catch?"
"There isn't a catch. Look, even though I don't like her in that way, I don't want to see her hurt. Yes, I know I've hurt her when I broke up with her and when ever I think about it, I feel like crap." Caleb said quietly. (A/N: He really did say something similar to that. I think my niece was talking to him about our break up and he said something close to what I just wrote.)
"So you don't like Kairi?" I asked cautiously. I wanted to get as much out of him as possible.
"Not in a girlfriend kind of way. Just as a friend. That's all we are." He responded. I sighed.
"Okay then, what do you have in mind?"
"Just talk to her like nothing happened. Act like the two best friends you were before you two even started dating. It may not seem like much, but she'll begin to see-." Someone calling him cut him off.
"Caleb, dude. Come on!" It was Pat, Caleb's best friend. "We're going to be late!"
"Sorry, I got to go." Caleb ran over to meet up with Pat before they started to run down the street.
"Well that was pointless!" I said to myself. "Just talk to her like nothing happened? Like we're best friends again? What's this got to do with anything!"
"Who are you talk to?" I spun around to see Namine.
"Oh, Namine. Uh, well I'm just… uh. Never mind. What are you doing here?"
"Well I was on my way to the Shooting Star because Cloud said everyone was meeting up there to discuss what we're doing for Kairi's birthday." She said.
"Oh. Right. Let's go then." The two of us headed over to the Shooting Star and met up with everyone else.
-Kairi's POV-
I was completely bored out of my mind. Nothing was on TV and I really didn't want to start working on my homework. 'Bored!' I yelled in my head out of frustration.
"Hum, I'll see if Namine wants to hang out." I said picking up the phone and dialing her number. It rang a few times before the answering machine picked up. I hung it up. "Great, still bored."
"Why don't you hang out with someone besides Namine?" My mom said who walked into the living room.
"Because she's the only one I've talked to really since Sora and I broke up." I said looking at her.
"Well Kai, maybe you should try to stay friends with all of your friends because then you'll be bored the rest of your life. That means talking to Sora too." She said before walking into the kitchen.
"Why are mom's always right?" I sighed to myself.
"You'll understand why when you become a mom." I heard her call from the kitchen. I laughed slightly to myself.
"Thanks mom." I called back. I figured I'd start working on my homework and then talk to my friends at school and gradually start hanging out with them again.

October finally rolled around. My 17th birthday was on Thursday. It was the seventh today. I sat on my couch watching TV when my phone rang. My parents were out for dinner, so I leaned over the couch lazily and picked it up.
"Hello?" I said.
"Kai! I'm coming over! Where something cute but casual!" Namine said and with that, she hung up the phone.
"Uh, okay." I said aloud. I hung up the phone and changed. I wore favorite blue jeans, my black vans, a black tank top, and Sora's black, gray and silver hoodie that he gave me from where we were together, plus the star necklace with a 'K' inside that he also gave me. I heard the doorbell.
"You're sleeping over tonight. We'll come back later to get your things." Naming said pulling me outside after I opened the door. She started running down the street. I was keeping up pretty well.
"Where are we going?" I yelled since she was a little ahead of me.
"You'll see! Come on!" Nam yelled back. I sighed to myself. Finally five long blocks down, we arrived to our destination. I looked up at the black and midnight blue building. The big blue and gold neon sign said 'Shooting Star'. Since it was almost 7 PM, there was a line starting to from at the entrance. Nam pulled me to the bouncer dude in the front. He looked at us.
"Private party." Nam said. He pulled out a clipboard.
"Names." He said staring at the papers.
"Namine Fuller and Kairi David." Namine said with a big smile. He made two checks.
"Go on in." He said. Namine started to pull me in, when the bouncer dude stopped me. I was slightly scared of him. He looked so tough, big and scary. "Happy early birthday Ms. David."
"Uh, thanks." I said with a smile. I looked at Namine who was smiling at me before pulling me inside. I gasped at how awesome it was inside. The ceiling was pitch black with tons of lights mimicking the stars. There were blue and gold dangling Christmas lights hanging on all the walls. "Wow."
"Cool huh?" Nam said to my reaction. There were already tons of people inside. I noticed a stage with a lot of instruments. I was assuming there was going to be a band preforming for us. "Let's get something to drink." We walked over to the bar. Cloud was right there.
-Sora's POV-
I was in the backroom getting ready for our performance for Kairi's birthday. Everyone figured that I should sing songs that would best fit for how I feel towards her. 'Why not, maybe she'll catch on, but maybe not, humph, I'll just do it.' I got up and looked at the other band mates.
"Are you guys ready?" I asked.
"Of course buddy, chill." One of the guys said. I didn't even know who I was preforming with really, I just need people who knew the songs we were going to do.
"Should we practice before we go out there?" One girl asked.
"That'd be the best thing to do." I agreed. They nodded and we all got up and started to warm up.
-Kairi's POV-
"Hey there." Cloud said. "Oh, happy b-day Kai."
"Thanks." I said smiling. I realized that Sora wasn't around. "Hey, um, where's Sor-."
"Sora's busy." Cloud said. "So, what to drink?"
"Two Pepsi's." Namine said.Namine and me sat down at the bar, talking and drinking our Pepsi's.
"So why did you take me here?" I asked das we watched everyone dancing.
"Be back." Cloud said taking off his apron and leaving the bar to the back room.
"You'll see." Namine replied to my question.
"Ugh. I'm impatient!" I said to her. She laughed. I heard a microphone turn on. The two of us averted our attention to the front.
"Can I et your attention." Cloud announced. He had his guitar strapped to him. There were more people behind him with their instruments. I noticed that there was one microphone left standing. It went silent. "We're going to have two songs preformed tonight. Please put your hands together for Sora!" Everyone clapped. Out from the backroom, Sora walked out to the stage.
"This song is dedicated to the birthday girl." Sora announced as he got his guitar. "Happy birthday Kai." I smiled up at him. A sudden spot light hit me and everyone clapped. Talk about embarrassing. The band began to play and the spot light moved over to Sora.
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
(Chorus)
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
(Chorus)Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only my only one
(Interlude)
Here I go...so dishonestly leave a note for you my only one
And I know...you can see right through me
So let me go...and you will find some one
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one...no one like you
You are my only my only one
My only one(x3)
You are my only my only one!
"This next song is... well... how I feel." Sora said after the crowd stopped cheering. 'How he feels? What's that supposed to mean?' I thought as I watched them get ready to sing.
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things that I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all awayTo have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things that I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
After the song ended and the crowd went wild, the private party members got sent to the backroom for private parties. Namine closed my eyes as we walked in there.
"Nam, what are we doing?" I asked. She uncovered my eyes. The room was dark. "I still can't see you know." A light turned on. Everyone I knew was tehre.
"Happy birthday Kairi!" They all yelled. I was shocked. I didn't expect this. A big cake with 17 candles were lit right in front of me.
"Make a wish." My mom said. I put my finger to my chin and closed my eyes. 'I wish that Sora and I would get together again.' I thought as I blew out the candles. I opened my eyes to see Sora right in front of me.
