Kingdom Hearts x Awkward Silence

A/N:
Uhh. Yeah. –gets tomatoes and various other degrading things thrown at her- Like always, I'm really sorry for not updating. But y'all have to understand I'm way busy nowadays, I got a big part in the school play, and I'm in 8th grade and teachers are giving us waaaay too much homework to supposedly "prepare us for high school". Stress. I wish you guys could see how stressed and tired I look.

Disclaimer:
Kingdom Hearts doesn't belong to me. Neither does Halo. -.-


The gym grew quiet as Ms. Gemm came in with Mr. Strife's 5th period class. One by one, I scanned them, I tell you. I looked for Sora.

"Aww," Selphie whined, "he's not in this class, is he?"

"Guess not." I smiled, happy that he wasn't. "I am glad Mr. Jacobs isn't in this class."

"You guys are talking about Sora Jacobs?" one of the guys from the other class passed by us and asked. We nodded our heads.

"He went to bring some a female to the nurse's office."

"…huh?" I blinked. Why was this so hard to believe when Sora was one of the most popular guys in school?

"One of the girls from my class last period started complaining bout some throbbing headache and so Mr. Jacobs volunteered to bring her to the Nurse's office."

"Oh. Okay. Why are you telling this to us?" Selphie put her hands on her hips.

"Because I thought you needed my help? Say, would you like to have lunch with me today?"

"No." Selphie retorded. The boy, forever will he remain unidentified, went to his little group of seemingly nerdy friends and talked. Selphie rolled her eyes. "Some guys just hit on the first girl they see, don't they?"

Dinah laughed, while I, weird as it was, felt pain in my head. I observed it was in the same spot that the door had hit me earlier in the day. I started thinking about Sora again. If I he were here and I had started complaining about my headache, would he help me, or would he leave it to someone else?

"You okay, Kairi?" Ms. Gemm asked me. It was then I realized I had been in a trance and had not been responding to anything in my surroundings.

"Not really…" I sighed.

"You don't look well." Ms. Gemm started writing me a hall pass, "go to the Nurse's office. Your forehead looks a little red."

"Yeah, the door hit her earlier, so that might be it." Selphie added.

"Will you make it on your own, Kairi?" Ms. Gemm asked me. I nodded. I didn't feel like having Selphie around for the time being. I stood up, went into the locker room, changed back to my uniform and started walking to the Nurse's office.

"Shoot." I realized then that Sora might still be in there. "Oh well, I don't care. This headache is killing me so bad."


"Why, Ms. Valencia," Mrs. Babel looked up from her desk, "I don't see you around here often, what's wrong? You don't look too good."

"I have a terrible, terrible headache, Mrs. Babel. I don't know why." I put my hand on my forehead.

"Let's have a look. Why don't you sit down over there and I'll see what's wrong." She instructed, so I nodded my head and did what I was told to. She came to me and brushed my bangs up to see my forehead. "Dear, looks like you have a bruise here. Did you hit your head earlier? Oh my, looks like there's a tiny wound too."

"Huh, oh, what? Yeah…" I started feeling woozy. "I ran into the door earlier. Am I bleeding? Why?"

"Well Kairi," Mrs. Babel got iodine and a band-aid from a closet, "injuries to the head tend to bleed more easily since there's not a lot of muscle between the skin and bone, and the brain needs a lot of blood and oxygen, therefore there are also a lot of veins and arteries there."

"Oh. Right." I said, remembering Biology class from last year. She put iodine on my wound, and it stung a lot, and then she put band-aid.

"I'll let you have a rest until you feel better, sweetie." She told me, pointing to the next room, which had beds and such in them. I then remembered Sora and whoever that girl is, but again I put myself before them. I did not like this headache and if I run into Sora whatever, I want this headache out of me. I did not care.

Or did I?

I wandered into the next room, where the girl was lying down in a bed and Sora was lying down in the bed next to hers. How sweet, I thought. I walked silently to a bed farther away and hoped they wouldn't wake up.

"Hey, Kairi, what are you doing here?" Sora said quietly as I passed by his bed.

"My head hurts."

"That's funny," he chuckled, "my cousin Amy is having the same problem."

"Oh. That's lovely." I said without interest. "What are you doing here?"

"Ssshh," he hushed me quietly, " don't say this to anyone, but I'm pretending to be sick. I don't feel like P.E. today for some reason. I just wanna go home and play Halo."

"Halo, oh, that game." I nodded along, lying down on a bed that was two beds way from his.

"Hey, there's a band-aid on your head." Sora pointed out. No duh, I did. On Sunday, I thought him being so clueless was a bit cute, but today was just not my day. Too many things have been happening to me, I'm not appreciating it.

"Yeah, I got a little wound."

"Oh, sorry."

"No it's okay. I just need rest. I'm tired."

"Okay then. Sweet dreams." He said. I turned to my side so I wouldn't face him. That's when my reaction gear started kicking in. I blushed madly. Sweet Dreams? What does that mean? Is he telling me to sleep well because he wants me to get better? Was he trying to make me laugh to get my attention? What does this all mean?

If Selphie were here watching and knew what I was thinking right now, I knew she would be laughing so hard right now. I pulled the covers all the way up, completely engulfing me in precious warmth. The air conditioner was on and it was freezing.

"My parents are thinking of—oh, sorry." Sora brought up, but stopped once he noticed me 'asleep'. He couldn't tell, of course, since I had my back towards him and the covers were hiding me.

"No," I pulled the covers down, "go ahead. I'm having trouble sleeping."

"Oh. Well," Sora seemed to have a more difficult time now that he actually knew I was listening, "my parents were thinking that… uhh, they want to invite your parents over to our house for dinner on Saturday…"

"Have they asked my parents?" I asked.

"Don't think so. They were talking about it during dinner last night though.

"Oh. I see." I sighed.

"I'm really sorry about earlier," I could sense a sincere apology in his tone of voice, "I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, really. I'm just… stressed out, that's all."

"On a Monday?" he chuckled, "The week's just started and you're already tired?"

"Uhh, well," I stammered, "lots of things have come up, so…"

"You mean like Spanish class?" He laughed more. I shot up in a jolt and looked at him with eyes as wide as a light bulb.

"H-how did you know!" I demanded.

"Heh, well, I heard a couple of people talking about you."

"So there's someone you have a crush on?" Sora smirked.

"If you know that much," I sighed a sigh of defeat, "I might as well admit."
