Chapter 2b

"So, Kairi what did you think about them?" Kairi thought about it for a moment then came to the startling conclusion that she really liked them. "I think they're really nice Selph, I thought that they were really funny." she giggled at the thought of Sora's goofy grin and Riku's sheepish grin at her amused look. Selphie frowned.

"What's wrong?" Kairi asked. They were very nice. Did she not think so? Selphie looked at Kairi a little incredulously before responding. "Well, didn't you think they were... more- than- friend material? Cute or something?" Kairi blushed.

"Ah ha! So you do think one of them is cute." Kairi's blush deepened. She thought of Riku's eyes his flowing hair and Sora's deep blue eyes and his sweet smile. "Selphie..." Selphie giggled and flipped her hair. "Don't worry so much Kairi, I won't tell."

Kairi couldn't help but doubt her friend. Selphie couldn't contain information anymore than Tidus could stop being so cocky. Selphie was naturally honest but also naturally ditzy. Kairi loved her friend but felt she couldn't trust her sometimes. It was pretty uncomfortable feeling- not being able to trust one of her closest friends.

"Selphie, I felt weird when I was around them. You know how I usually am but this time I felt so...weird." Selphie smiled uneasily at her friend. Kairi felt Selphie just didn't understand her anymore. They used to get along great but recently she was always so distant.

They walked home in silence Kairi thinking about how life had changed them and Selphie about, well, things that girls like Selphie thought about.
