Helping Wakka to the boys' locker room, Sora and Tidus covered him in their jackets so no one can see Veronica's work. After a million times of saying thanks, Wakka changed back to uniform and went back out to the courtyard. Seeing Selphie with Kairi, Tidus decided to stay with the boys.
"Just tell her already Sora! You don't have to be so afraid like a chicken!"
"Who said I'm scared Tidus."
"If you aren't then tell her!"
"Fine I will!" Tidus and Wakka clapped for a while at their achievement. So they can tell Sora's ready, but is Kairi? He walked up to them using a diversion to get Selphie to buzz off. So he told her that Tidus wanted to tell her something.
She went to him, taking the sign that Sora wanted to talk to Kairi. "So you finally got them together?"
Tidus gave her the look of a half answer. "Sora does, what about Kairi?"
"Dunno, let's watch."
In his mind, Sora was trying to find the right words. Kairi stared at him with her innocent eyes, still wondering why he sent Selphie away. Looking at her, his throat was caught in a trap of nothing.
"Sora, why'd you do that?"
"Kairi… will you… what are you doing on Friday?" Although school was over and no one was really there to see this, Kairi wasn't ready for him, at least not yet.
"Wha? Sora, I… I'm not sure." She stuttered, "Um, Friday's probably not okay. Sorry."
Shocked at how she answered, Sora tried to show no emotion. "It's okay. I was just wondering." She noticed it looked like he was looking for a yes and that now he could cry. She wanted to say yes, she just couldn't. So Kairi gave him a big hug because 'Sorry' didn't look like it was getting through to him. Sora didn't know what to do; he knew she was saying sorry. Just how to say 'It's ok' was too hard for him. He decided she'd understand if he hugs with her too.
Wakka, Tidus and Selphie saw everything; Sora asking her, Kairi saying no, the hugs for sorry, and him looking as if he could go break down. Selphie bit her finger and looked at the boys. Wakka held his head down and Tidus looked a bit mad.
"What should we do Selphie?" he finally asked
"It's sort of our fault this happened. We should just leave them alone for a while. Let them heal before we actually talk to them."
The next day of school, Sora and Kairi's first class was pottery again.
