Finally the bell rings, thus ending free period. Kairi rushes to her locker, trying to avoid Riku for some reason. 'Ugh. Why the heck am I avoiding him? I was gonna ask him why he and Selphie are working together?' Noticing him out of the corner of her eye, Kairi sped up her getting her books. After she finally got them all, she started to walk toward class. Just remembering Riku had the same classes, Kairi decided to turn around to finally face the truth. Shifting all her weight to her left leg and swing around with her right freely, she kicked Riku causing him to fall to the ground.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Riku! I didn't know you were there!" She stuck out her hand to help him back up. He shook his hand as if to say no but Kairi just grabbed it and helped him to the nurse's room.
The nurse intern's name was, "Yuffie. So what's the problem?" Riku pointed to his 'boo-boo' as he would refer to. " A boo-boo, hmm?" She took a picture of his leg where Kairi kicked him. The photo quickly developed, and she was holding up another picture of a leg of some sort. Yuffie disappeared into a closet and then came out with some crutches.
"Riku?" she asked, " The injury is nothing to worry about. It's just a simple browse. But it'll get swollen if you apply too much force on it. Here, use these and take this." She handed him a medical pass. It was laid flat on her hand, so Riku and Yuffie would have to hold hands a bit for the pass to be passed on. When hand and hand met, it held for about two minutes before they snapped back to earth. "Sorry." They said in unison.
Kairi and Riku finally left the nurse in her room as they slowly walked back to the class.
"Kairi to Riku. Does he like Yuffie? Over." She joked as if she were an astronaut.
"Huh, no…no, well… yeah." He said as he dove into a whisper.
"Yeah you do."
"NO I don't!"
"Whatev. What's going on between you and Selphie?"
"Nothing. I have NO relationship with any girl but in family ones."
"Sure you haven't forgotten on the yard where you said you were working for me and Sora? Yeah, what happened 15 minutes ago is soooo hard."
"Oh that. It was Selphie's idea."
"Weird. 'Cause she said you wanted to do that. Listen, Riku, just lay off. We don't like each other, and if we did, then the time will come."
Riku was shocked at how the fun loving, carefree girl became so serious. Maybe she didn't want anyone messing up her life. " Ok, I promise my life on it. We won't mess up you and Sora."
"WE AREN'T TOGETHER!" Wow, Riku made her mad this time. Her yell could be heard through out the whole hall. Mrs. Celestial came out and told them to be quiet and hurry to their class.
Sora could hear them conversing, or more like arguing. 'Huh? Was that Kairi? Who is she talking to? And what does she mean by together?' Too many questions, so little time, so he decided to drop the thought and continue the test. Sora was in deep thinking for so long, the test time was down to 3 minutes. "Damn!" he said to himself.
Wakka heard his remark and turned his head to his friend in distress. "Dude, number 32, 67 and 69 are trick questions." He turned his head back after Sora filled in the answer and stood up to hand it in to the teacher. Everyone else finished before him.
"Thank you Sora. Now we can finish the lesson." The teacher sent him to his seat and they all sighed knowing there was still more of the class.
After 2 hours, school was finally over. Riku got out of some mobbing clichés, mostly Veronica's, and caught up with Selphie.
"Selph, she's onto us!"
"About what?"
"That we're trying to hook them up." He pointed to Sora and Kairi, who were glancing really quickly at each other.
"Ohh, that's not good. What do you wanna do now?"
"I promised her we'd lay off, so I can only watch you do your magic."
"Sorry Riku, same here. I promised my life on it."
"Hmm, okay. So all we can do is just watch and cheer them on."
Selphie gave him a nod and he jolted off to help Sora out of more of Veronica's clichés. Oddly enough, she was the one in the middle. Riku jumped in, wrestled her off Sora, and they crawled their way out.
They did their handshake (which sorta looks like a girls) and Sora spoke up, "Thanks man. I thought I wasn't going to get out alive, or at least not married with 'Her.'"
Riku gave a small chuckle. "Yeah, I think you two will make a good couple." His voice was way too full of sarcasm, it sounded like he was being sarcastic with sarcasm.
"Is that a comment, insult or just a joke?"
"Try both Sora."
"But there's three choices!"
"Exactly what I'm saying."
"Huh? Seriously Riku, what the hell do you mean?"
"Nothing, Sora." Riku finished his sentence and ran off to the nurse's room. It's true, him and Yuffie are going out.
"Hey Riku, ready for tonight?" she said, putting her jacket on.
"More than you can ever be." He said with the excitement of a five year old at a candy shop.
Not knowing why he left to see the nurse, Sora was all alone to be mobbed by clichés. Being smart for once, he went over to Wakka and Tidus.
"Hey Tidus," he said, "You done with the book?"
"Aw no man, don't tell me you told him of the bogus book?" Wakka said with a tone of disagreement.
"Well, not necessarily. He asked me about it." Tidus said in defense
"Nuh-uh! I asked if you were making a book, and you said yes!" Sora was sorta outraged.
"And that counts as you asking me!"
"NO! You told me."
"Yeah, so exne on the booksay."
"Tidus man, I'm no dumb boy. You told him!" Wakka interrupted. Tidus gave a small growl. "Majority rules mon."
