A/N: As my fellow reviewers, who are also very talented writers, they must know that it is hard to update their stories when you have school going on. And you're own person problems. :
Ever since I've last updated ... I've had my heart broken twice & way too much homework. And I'm only in my seventh week of school! It's terrible, too. But thank god today I was sick, so I actually had time to update. Anyways, all apologizes! I shall try to update when I don't have paper on my desk or have a ripping heart.
My Life Lesson: Boys are insecure about their feelings.

x Chapter 7: Bombs & .. Bets?x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kairi studied the permanent black ink on the obviously wrinkled paper. Surely, it was one of the school's whores or school's obsessive compulsive stalkers. The note wasn't really to be taken seriously .. right? She read a couple more times but finally crumpled it up herself and shoved it into her jean pockets. If somebody was SO jealous of a measley little date with her and Sora, they needed to get a life.
Pretending it had never happened, Kairi grabbed her books and carefully shuffled them between her hands; being careful not to let them fall from her grasp. Standing up, Kairi shut her locker with her foot and began to walk slowly away. That was until ..
B00M!
"!!" She screamed out of being frightened by the disturbing noise. Without knowing it, she'd also dropped her stuff for her classes. God damn it!
Kairi turned around to see what the commotion had been. She didn't think there was some kind of a maniac in the school with bombs, but she didn't think it was her imagination either. With a disrupting noise like that, it was anything but. However, when Kairi turned around to confront what it had been, she couldn't help to laugh nervously.
About 20 feet away, she noticed smoke slithering out from beneath the Boy's bathroom door. Coloured smoke, to be more exact. Sora was standing no less than a foot away, coughing his brains out, into his hands. As far she could tell, Sora's face was an odd colour and his normally un-natural spiked hair, was down and messed up like one big rat. Thus, she continued to laugh.

Sora turned around as soon as he had finished up his round of coughs, being less than oblivious to the fact that someone found it amusing that he looked like crap. Hey, setting off smoke bombs was a lot harder than it looked. And it was obviously not that entertaining to himself, seeing how he'd accidently set them off wrong; giving the bathroom a whole new atmosphere.
When he did turn around fully, he was afraid it was one of teachers of some sort, laughing at him because they found it highly amusing that he'd only be in bigger shit after this. But instead, it was Kairi. At this, he smiled in relief.
"You think that's funny? The bathroom toilets all stink like coloured crap now, thanks to me," Sora said as he began to walk closer towards Kairi's direction.

"Huh? Oh, sorry."
Kairi hushed her giggles of the highly amusing scene and put on a smile instead. It wasn't everyday you saw that at school or anywhere else. But as Sora had finally came pretty close to her, that smile had been taken over with her two front teeth biting down on her lower lip.
"I guess you dropped your stuff when you heard the smoke bombs go off," Sora started to snicker as he bent down and started to gather her stuff on the floor.
"H-he he. Well, you know .. .. it's not every day somebody sets smoke bombs off wrong. Not to mention in the Boy's bathroom .." Kairi chuckled at the funny thought.
"Here you go," Sora said as he handed Kairi's organizer and books.
"Thanks."
After that, there was a fairly common awkward silence like always. What was she suppossed to say now? Tell him about the note? Ask why he set off the smoke bombs? Ask if he really liked her friends? Laugh at him? Because of what she was unsure to do, she shuffled her feet back and forth and kept her gaze on the ground .. even though she could feel Sora's on her.
"Well, see you in detention!" Sora suddenly cried out as he turned around without any warning and began running down the the oppoisite direction.
"Huh?" Kairi watched him flee the scene for a couple minutes, until something that concerned her a little more, interrupted her watching.
"Excuse me but why aren't you in class?"

"He gave you another detention?!"
"Mhm .." Kairi played around with school's macaroni n' cheese with her fork, as if she intended on eating it soetime soon.
"What a bitch!" Yuffiie said.
"Meanie," Selphie slightly mumbled.
No more than a minute after Sora had fleeted, her history teacher had apparently caught her in the halls, not in class. Kairi had tried the 'i'm just going to my locker to get my books' approach, but apparently, he had not fallen for it. However, Mr.Leonhart was one not to fall for any excuses despite how real they were. So, because she was 'tardy' for class, she had a detention for after school.
"And Sora just ran away, right?" Yuffie asked.
"Yeah ... ..."
"That jerk!"
"Eh, not really .." Kairi shrugged as she put down her fork.
"Meanie!" Selphie said out of no where.
"Mm ... well, I have to get going you guys. Apparently, the 'leader' of the girl trash squad wanted to talk to me in the bathroom alone," Kairi rolled her eyes. "So, I'll see you during 8th period if I'm still alive"
"Bye Kai'. Good luck."
"Bye Bye Kairi!!" Selphie waved to Kairi as she got up from the table with her tray in her hands. Kairi just smiled back slightly. This would probably be the last time she ever saw her friends again. Knowing how mean every girl in the trash squad was, their 'majesty' would probably decorate her with makeup or just flush her head down the toilet.
"Sayanora."

On the way out of the cafeteria, Kairi had slightly looked around to see if Sora was already sitting down and eating if food. She was planning to ask him where detention was being held after school, but apparently she hadn't seen him, so she'd just have to ask one of her teachers herself. Pretty typical .. but it wouldn't affect her too much.
"Bet he's setting off more smo--" But she was interrupted before she could finish herself.
"How's the bet going?"
"Pretty good, actually .. .."
"You have two weeks."
"I know."
... If Kairi wasn't mistaken, she was pretty sure the two voices belonged to Sora and Riku. Stopping in her path that she'd been originally walking in, she'd leaned up against one of the school building's walls as she continued to listen to the two on the other side of the corner. Normally, she would have walked away; ignoring her curiousity. But this time it was getting the best of her.
"So, tell me this: how far are you actually planning to get and when?"
"Pfft, don't tell me there's something more?"
Silence.
"There is, isn't there?" ( READ BELOW!!! )
