One Hell of a Field Trip

Chapter 3

"Gees Nanime, I know I said I'd help you with carrying your stuff and all but for crying out loud."Sora complained carrying her stuff into her first period class room.

"Do you really need all this crap?" Roxas asked helping with the rest.

"Of course! Plus if I get bored in the hotel room, I have all my art stuff with me!" She said with a gentle smile.

Roxas and Sora both gave a sigh of relief when they were done carrying her stuff, and walked into their own classrooms. They had already brought their stuff into the classroom and set it along the wall in the back room.

"Hey guys! How's it goin'!" Seifer greeted giving Sora a hard clap on the back, causing him to fall over.

"Oh sorry about that!" He said turning to Roxas. It didn't take Seifer very long to forget what he had apologized for which showed that he cared very little for what he has just done.

Sora groaned from the ground he was about to sit up when he noticed a hand in front of his face. He looked up to see who it was that was offering him a hand up.

"Need a hand?"

"Uh yeah, thanks Riku!" Sora said taking his hand. Riku easily pulled him up to his feet, but Sora's face found it self VERY close to Riku's. It took everything within his power to keep the blood from rushing to his cheeks.

"You might want to try to be more careful." Riku advised in a hushed tone as he gazed into Sora's blue eyes.

"Uh...yeah..I'll do that." He said taking his hand away from Riku's.

Riku and Sora both then went to take their seats. Riku smirked as he did so and Sora was now blushing and trying to get himself to stop.

Most of the class was sitting in different seats then they were yesterday, and he noticed Kairi sitting nearby. Since he had nothing better to do, he was listening to her and her friends talk.

"So how are we getting there?"One of the girl's asked.

"I think. Because it's cheaper, we're taking a boat there. And then we're going on charter buses. And before we get to our hotel's we're stopping at one of the towers to eat, and we can go up on the observation deck!" Kairi answered excitedly.

Sora's stomach turned. 'Did she say observation deck?' he thought suddenly feeling sick. He hated to admit it, but Sora had a slight fear of heights. And he always got nervous in elevators.

"Hey are you alright?" Asked the girl from the group.

Sora turned to look at her. "Uh..did you say we'd be going on an observation deck?" He asked.

"uh yeah why?" The girl asked confused.

"Oh no.." Kairi said. "Your not afraid of heights are you?" She asked him.

Sora nodded hesitantly."Oh, I'm sorry." Kairi said sympathetically. "Well if you want, Sora was it?..you can hang with us. A group of large people might take your mind of the heights." She offered.

"Oh okay..thank you." He said great fully.

Roxas finally got out of talking to Seifer, after Axel rescued him. All Seifer wanted to talk about was his sister, he was getter ready to punch the guy in the face. Although, punching a guy with biceps as big as you head isn't the smartest idea.

"Thanks for that." Roxas said to Axel.

Axel sat down in the desk, gesturing for Roxas to sit next to him.

"It's no problem, we all know how Seifer can get." Axel said watching Roxas take a seat.

"So I take it you'll be rooming with your brother correct?"Axel asked.

"Yep. I don't know what Namine will do though, I hope she'll be comfortable."

"I'm sure she will."Axel insured him. "The girl's are friendly enough." He said with a shrug. "Well...most."

"Thanks Axel...I feel much better now."He said rolling his eyes.

Axel laughed. "You worry too much."

"Maybe you just don't worry enough." Roxas countered.

"That would be true."He said with a smile.

"Alright everyone, I'm going to take attendance then we can loud the buses and go."

"Hey you should sit next to me on the bus."Axel said with a wink.

Getting to the boat on on the school buses took no time at all. The boat ride however, took a little longer.

Since the school didn't want to take their buses on the boat, they would have charter buses waiting for them, after the boat reached it's destination.

Everyone had just gotten all of their belongings loaded on to the bus, and now people were getting on the bus.

Roxas had completely forgotten that Axel want him to sit with him, but he would soon remember.

When Roxas was walking by, Axel reached out to Roxas and grabbed him. He wrapped his arm around his waist and pulled, causing Roxas to yelp in surprise and lose his balance. He went crashing into Axel's lap and almost hit his head on the window, but Axel moved his hand behind his head just in time.

Roxas his heart was racing.

"Don't tell me you forgot..."Axel said with an almost hurt expression. He was trying to keep a straight face but it wasn't working.

"Okay..I won't." He said giving a nervous laugh.

Axel laughed. "Are you comfortable?"

"Not really."Roxas said trying to sit up.

"That's to bad." Axel said easily pushing Roxas back down into the previous position he was in before.

Axel brought his mouth close to Roxas's ear. "I think I like you like this."He whispered and laughed after pulled his head away.

"Cut it out." Roxas said flustered. 'I just got chills.' He thought surprised. After a few moments, some of the teachers took attendance. Soon afterwards the bus was put into motion.

Sora was seated next to Namine who was currently drawing him.

"Quit moving."She told him forcefully.

"I can't help it! We ARE on a bus." He complained.

Riku was sitting conveniently behind the two, and of course Seifer was next to Riku, watching Namine draw.

"Hey Seifer could you cut that out." Riku asked glaring at Seifer.

"What? Did you say something Riku?"

"Yes, I said you need to stop drooling on me while your watching her."

Seifer gave him a look and punched him in the arm. "Shut your mouth."

Riku glared. "Don't forget who gave you that scar." Riku warned.

Sora turned around which made Namine sigh. "Oh! I give up."

"You two should really calm down." Sora said watching Riku and Seifer begin to argue.

When they heard what he said they both responded to him with a glare.

"Did you say something shorty?" Seifer asked.

Sora glared "yeah I did."

Seifer was about to say something to Sora when he got a slap on the right side of the face. Riku got one on the left.

Seifer and Riku both turned around to see Rikku, she was occupying both of the seats.

"I've had enough of listening to you two argue." She said glaring. "Now be nice to the newbies, they're cool!" She reprimanded.

"Thanks Rikku." Nanime thanked great fully.

"Not a problem." She said saluting with two fingers as she gave a wink.

A few hours went by and half the bus was asleep. Roxas and Sora were one of those people.

Roxas was still draped across Axel. They had gotten into an argument about him laying on Axel, and Axel had won. Axel and the few people that were awake around them, laughed quietly as they messed with Roxas in his sleep. Axel was poking Roxas's ears with a pencil. They'd snicker every time Roxas would do something, especially if he would talk.

A loud thump was heard through out the whole bus, and Riku started laughing.

Sora had attempted to roll over in his sleep, and fell off his seat and landed in the walk way.

"Oh! Sora!" Namine exclaimed. Seifer couldn't stop laughing and Riku was still working on stoping.

"Owww." Sora moaned. Riku's smiling face appeared over Sora's.

"Idiot."He said still smiling. "That's what happens when you try to rollover in a charter bus seat."

Sora, surprised by Riku's sudden appearance, quickly sat up.

"Son of a..!" Riku exclaimed after Sora rammed his head into Riku's.

Sora fell back to the ground. "Oh man!" He whined.

The bus came to a stop.

"Okay everyone." said Tifa, who was Namine's first period teacher. "We're stopping for a break."

While Riku was holding his currently bruising forehead, he got Sora to move mostly out of the way, as people start piling off of the bus. Namine even got off the bus, forgetting her wounded brother, with the thought of the restroom.

Sora was still groaning in pain.

"Are you okay?" Riku asked moving in front of Sora.

Sora suddenly felt uncomfortable, when he realized no one was on the bus.

"No..I feel a little dizzy." Sora said blinking rapidly.

Riku moved closer to Sora. Their faces, once again, close.

Sora waited for him to say something. He was going to ask Riku what it was, but never got the chance.

Riku closed what little space was left in between them, and placed his lips over Sora's.

If Sora was able to gasp, he would have. His heart began to speed up, as blood rushed to his cheeks.

After Riku pulled away, Sora scrambled for something to say.

"W-what did you do that for!" He asked.

The same expression was on Riku's face. "I was bringing you back to your senses." He said standing up.

"What! But-"

"Well it worked didn't it? You don't feel dizzy anymore. Do you?"

Sora got quiet. "well...no."

Riku smirked and started walking off the bus. 'If you think there isn't more, you have another thing coming my dear Sora.' He thought with a satisfied look as he walked down the steps.

Sora watched him get off the bus, and brought a hand up to his lips. "Is that all he did that for?"Sora wondered aloud.

(HA! How'd you like that one! Good, no? Well, just wait till they get to the observation tower! Well! Feel free to review and if you think you should, go ahead and critique, and give some advise!)
