Schoolgirl Crush
Kairi sat on her friend, Selphie,'s desk, gossiping to her clique of buddies about whom Sora got that love bite on his neck from and how annoying Aeris, the goody-two-shoes of the class, was. (1)
Kairi knew in her heart that this gossiping was mean, but she did it anyway. It would be a waste for her, after spending most of her school career as the popular girl, to have to climb down to the bottom of the social ladder just because of something her conscious told her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a smudge of pale yellow and white. Without thinking, she whipped her head around to see what it was.
A petite girl with pale blond hair and even paler skin, almost milk-white, stood at the doorway of the classroom, taking delicate steps to her desk. "Hello, Namine." Kairi said to the girl, smiling softy. Namine's cheeks flushed to peach as she waved absentmindedly back to Kairi.
The bell rang, and Kairi slid off Selphie's desk and into her own as Namine took her own seat on the right side of Kairi.
Namine pulled a pencil and notebook out of her book bag as the teacher, Mr. Vexen, began the lecture. Pretending to take notes, she doodled numerous hearts and drew crooked lines through them, thinking about Kairi. She was never able to isolate Kairi from her group so she could talk to her alone about how she felt. If she ever did, she'd be too shy to say anything anyway. Namine sighed audibly.
"Miss Namine, do you know the answer to the question, since you've been taking notes so diligently?" Mr. Vexen boomed.
Namine sighed again and blushed. "No, sir." She whispered. She wanted to be over this lovesickness. The bell rang and class ended.
In the hallway, Namine and Kairi were both headed for the same class, but not walking together, though they both wished they were. As Namine walked past a door, she heard chattering voices inside and briefly stopped in front of it. It sprang open and Yuffie, a peppy classmate of hers, jumped out, bumping into the frail blonde and knocking her over.
Kairi saw the incident as she walked slowly with her group of friends and immediately ran forward to help Namine up. "You okay?" she asked, kneeling down next to the shy girl and placing a hand on her small shoulder.
"F-fine." Stuttered Namine, blushing once again, "J-just a little winded." With that, she stood up, gathered her book bag, kissed Kairi on the cheek, and continued walking. After a few steps, she let a tiny smile show, cheeks still flushed with happiness. Kairi stared at her and burst out laughing.
(1) – It was Riku who gave Sora that love bite. I also made Aeris the annoying goody-two-shoes because that's how I see her because I'm biased and hate all FFVII het. This has been your daily peek inside the mind of Aoi, please tune in tomorrow.
