Of Love and Lies

It Starts

I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!

I also don't like Biology very much. Nor does Sora. Which is why, at that particular moment we were outside the school gym, making out. We should've been in Biology, but we weren't. Just then, the bell rang. Lunch time!

It took a lot of inner strength for me to pull away from Sora, but I finally managed to. After we parted however, the look he was giving me was so cute... And, well...

Another 10 minutes wasted.

I was beginning to get hungry, though. Eventually , I successfully got Sora off of me, and we headed inside. (He wasn't too happy.)

We sat down with our friends and I began to talk with Yuna. Lulu wasn't there.

One salad later, however, she came in, many boys trailing behind her. Yuna and I had an extra cheerleading practice, so we got up to leave just as she was coming over. We were walking out, but Lulu grasped my elbow roughly, pulling me close so she could whisper in my ear.

"So, Kairi... That black Gucci purse of yours– It's cute." She turned her head to look me in the eyes. "Give it to me." I protested, but she continued. "Or I'll tell the principal why you and Sora missed Biology."

Oh, no! She knew about that? I could just let her tell– My parents wouldn't care. But I knew Sora's parents would... He was supposed to be the perfect student. So, grudgingly, I told her, "I'll give it to you later..."

Then, rushing after Yuna, I ran from the cafeteria. When I got to the door, I turned, and watched in horror as she took a seat next to Sora, smiling sweetly at him.

Cheerleading practice went extremely well. All the girls did great! But I still felt badly, because of that bitch, LULU.

All throughout the rest of the day, I dreaded the moment when I would have to hand over one of my favourite purses to Lulu. When that moment finally came, she simply yanked it from me, and then stomped off down the hall.

Leaving the school, I saw Yuna fingering the purse, giving Lulu a questioning look. I heard Lulu's reply, and felt anger boil inside of me.

"Oh, Kairi just gave it to me... She's so sweet..." Yeah, sweet. Unlike that Lulu whore. "She even seems to turn other people sweet... Sora's so wonderful... She's really lucky to have him for a boyfriend..."

Oh, no. She's going too far. She got my purse, I was not going to let her have my boyfriend.

I was going to punch her. March right over there and sock 'er one! But I couldn't. Because at that moment, my wonderful boyfriend just so happened to walk over.

"Hey, Kairi!" he called. He grinned at me, with his goofy Sora smile he was so famous for among our friends. Of course noone else in the school took note of it– They all thought he was a stuck up jock incapable of having a real sense of humour.

"Hey!"

Sora wrapped his arms around my waist, and leaned over to kiss me.

"So, need a ride home?" he asked.

"Yeah!"

I walked with Sora over to his car, a black Porsche. (I love his car... His parents gave it to him for his sixteenth birthday, which was like... 3 months ago. Except they bought it 4 months before that. Which is odd, but whatever.) Hopping in, I took shotgun. Score! Well, not really. There wasn't exactly anyone else coming with us, so it wasn't like, some major accomplishment.

As we pulled out, I watched Lulu talking to Riku. Sora and Riku, being best friends, had much the same taste in girls... Riku certainly seemed interested in Lulu... So, maybe..?

"Hey, Sora?"

Sora looked over at me for a brief second. "Yeah?"

"Um... What do you think of Lulu?"

"Well... She's..." Sora thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and spoke. "She's goth."

Goth? That's all he had to say? Oh, yeah! Sora hated goths! I grinned. Kairi: 1 Lulu: Zip, zilch, nada, ZERO.

But, hey... That's seriously all he had to say? Goth? What about bitch? What about whore? What about, "Oh, Kairi, I love you way more than anyone else in the world. Lulu's a whore. I hate her. She's a bitch for being mean to you. You're awesome. I love you."

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

Sora dropped me off at my house and I went inside, thoughts of Lulu spinning in my head. Yuna called later that evening, asking if I wanted to go out with her and Lulu.

I passed, of course.

That night when I went to sleep, I had a frightening dream, where Sora was abandoning me, going for her.
