Chapter ThreeI really don't want to go into detail about what happened at the restaurant. Why? Because we just ate, and that's all that happened, really.. Today is Monday, Dinah's first day in school, and I'm determined to find out her weakness.
When I arrived at school, there were not a lot of kids who arrived before me. I looked around the hallways for Dinah and maybe even Sora. It's really really strange how I don't see him at school. Maybe he's in the other building?
I opened my locker and unpacked the things in my backpack. I had to organize my locker every other morning, because somehow it manages to mess itself up while I'm not looking. I know no one's been looking through my stuff. It's just those bossy high schoolers like to kick the lockers in their free time.
"So, how was that dinner thing you, Kai?" Selphie asked me, with her books in her arms, leaning on the locker beside mine.
"Oh, it was just fine." I replied. Selphie looked me straight in the eye.
"Did you meet a cute guy?"
I almost choked on my own spit. Selphie had this bizarre way of telling exactly what was on my mind.
"What?" Selphie's mouth curved up into a smile. "Did I hit bull's eye again? Tell me, Kai!" She said excitedly as I rolled my eyes and let an aggravated sigh escape my lips. I got my drama notebook and my pencil case.
"I'll tell you in the bathroom." I whispered, closing my locker. I put the lock on, locked it, spinned the dial and tugged, just as we should do. I then pulled Selph into the nearest bathroom.
"Okay, so here's the deal." I whispered, looking around to make sure no one was watching. "There was a cute guy."
"I knew it!" Selphie whispered. It was more of a quiet shout, actually. I put my finger on my lips as a sign for her to keep quiet. That girl has serious keeping quiet issues.
"What's more, he studies in this school!" I continued. Selphie gasped and covered her mouth.
"No way!" She reacted. I nodded my head yes.
"Do you know his name?"
"Sora Jacobs." I replied.
"No.." Selphie said disbelievingly.
"What?"
"He's one of the star players for the school's basketball team! How can you not know who Sora Jacobs is!" She told me off almost in a scolding manner.
"Sorry," I scratched my head, "I'm not really into sports." I wasn't. I could care less about sports. If someone says, "Superbowl tonight!", I turn my TV to a soap opera. I really don't care.
Selphie sighed. "I should've known, Kai. You went off and met some popular hot guy and I didn't know.."
"Not my fault!" I testified.
"I know, I know." Selphie closed her eyes when a girl opened the door to the bathroom.
"Oh, you're Kairi! From yesterday, right?" The girl said. I looked and it was Dinah. Guess now I'm stuck with her.
"Yep, you got the right person! Selphie, meet Dinah. She just moved in here. Her mom owns that restaurant down in Ocean View Avenue... I forgot the name.." I introduced them.
"Pacifico Cafe." Dinah corrected me.
"Oh, right." I laughed nervously and looked away. Selphie's eyes widened.
"Get out.. you mean the Pacifico Cafe?" Selphie shook Dinah's hand.
"Yes." Dinah nodded her head and smiled that perfect smile of hers. When they stopped shaking hands, Dinah went into the cubicle and did her thing. Selphie and I looked at each other. She came out, washed her hands, got a paper towel and wiped her hands. When she threw it in the trash can, she missed, so she picked it up and put it into the trash can for real, but when she stood up her head hit the paper towel dispenser.
"Ouch! Hehe.. I'm okay.." She said, rubbing her head. She then got her hand bag, but dropped it. So she bent over and got it, but gravity caused the paper in her binder to fall out. Selphie and I helped her.
That's when I realized her weakness.
She was extremely clumsy.
