Chapter 4: Ice Cream Anyone?
The rest of the day went smoothly. I just had English and Calculus. Two of my best subjects. The only thing that was left in my day was whether or not I go to the mall with my new acquaintances. Something told me not to become too attached with them, while something else told me to go. I decided to go, only because I had hoped that Kairi would be there.
Why can't I stop thinking about her? I just met her.
I didn't care what the reason was, but I just wanted to be able to see her. So immediately after school, I found myself at Twilight Town Mall. I wandered around the mall until I found the food court. I didn't bother to look at the directory, I prefer figuring things out as I go. I glanced around for a bit, and found the six lunch-mates standing in front of Uncle Scrooge's Ice Cream Parlor.
"Hey! Look who decided to show up!" Riku ran over and dragged me over. The clerk behind the counter turned around.
"What can I get you today?" He asked.
"Seven bars of sea-salt ice cream!" Tidus said enthusiastically. I began to reach for my wallet when Riku stopped me.
"Don't worry about it, it's on me." He assured me. We all got our ice cream and pulled tables together so we could all sit together. Tidus and Roxas sat across from Yuna and Naminé. I sat next to Riku, and Kairi sat…across from me.
"So where did you come from Sora?" Naminé asked.
"Traverse Town," I murmured. They all looked at me dumbstruck.
"He speaks!" Roxas exclaimed. I let out a small laugh, making them look even more astounded.
They've been the only ones who have been able to make me laugh…Maybe…they really could be my friends.
"Well, what now?" Kairi asked after we had all finished our ice cream.
"I know!" Yuna said, "We can go shopping!" The three girls all giggled in agreement. The rest of the guys and I just looked at each other and shrugged. We walked around a bit, until we saw Victoria's Secret rising in front of us.
"This isn't going to be good," I heard Tidus mutter. The girls were almost inside when they noticed we weren't behind them. They all turned around and stared at us.
"Aw, come on! It won't hurt for you guys to come in with us!" Kairi said. Riku, Roxas, and Tidus took a step back. Before I could step back too, it was too late. They swarmed me and began to drag me inside.
"Nooooo!" I pleaded, but they wouldn't hear it. Before I was in, I could hear Riku say something.
"He's a dead man."
I did the best I could to cover my obvious embarrassment. They made it worse by asking my opinion on what the thought looked good on them.
"Ooh! What about this one Sora?" Yuna giggled. I didn't move, nor did I say anything. I just stared at the floor, while they all made get redder with each question and article of lingerie they showed me. Yuna and Kairi ran farther into the store, and Naminé pulled me away into a place they couldn't see us.
"You can see it, can't you?" She asked.
"What are you talking about?" I said, still flushed with embarrassment.
"Kairi is what I'm talking about. You mean to tell me you can't tell that she has a crush on you?" I was shocked. I mean…I had expected it, but I didn't think it was possible. We just met!
"But…we just met!" I blurted. "I mean, we know nothing about each other, and you mean to tell me that she like me?"
"Yes, and I can tell you like her too." I looked to the ground doing my best to hide my red face. "You were staring her all through second period today! Not to mention how many times you trying to sneak a glance at her while we were eating ice cream."
Oh…She's good.
"But I- I mean- Uh…Uh I've gotta go!" I stammered as I began to run out of the store. I saw the guys sitting on a bench and ran over to them.
"Sora! You're alive!" Tidus said.
"I would've never survived that. You get major kudos for that man. Major kudos." Roxas said. I ran my hand through my chocolate spikey hair.
"Yeah well, I'm just awesome like that."
By the time we all left the mall, it was already 10 PM. My parents didn't really care, even though I had school the next day. They thought it was good that I had friends for once. I made my way upstairs to my room, and plopped on my bed. So many thoughts were running rampant in my mind right now.
Kairi likes…me? I still can't believe it. Now I can't even look in her direction without turning into a tomato. Not to mention, they're the first people in a while to make me talk and break me out of my shell. I knew you were trouble when I first saw you Naminé.
I smiled to myself and drifted off to sleep.
Oooh. Sora knows Kairi likes her. Not to mention he's actually talking now! I wonder what'll happen next! Will Sora have some near death experience? Will Kairi fall in love with someone else? Will Riku just hit Sora for no reason! I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet.
