Hey everyone. So right after I posted the story, I realized that Sayomi was supposed to have hurt her ankle...oops. Well let's just say that's the reason why Sora one. And yeah. hehe Sorry! Also, I was going to put some other people's love moments in this chapter, but I was writing this at 2 am and didn't really feel like adding them. Deal with it. So here's the next chapter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sayo...I think I'm falling for you..."
The next morning was quite hectic since there was school that day.
"Riku! Hurry up!" Sora yelled as he pounded the bathroom door.
"Just hold on a second Sora! I'm doing my hair! God!" Riku yelled back equally as loud.
"Riku! What's your problem, you're like the only guy I know that spends more time on his hair than any other girl."
"An example?" Riku asked.
"Me!" Sayomi exclaimed as she walked out of the other bathroom.
"Yeah. See! Sayo went in after you did and she got out before you!"
"Well, that's not a good example Sora! Sayo's not a girl...well I mean technically she is but...Well she's just Sayomi, ok!" Riku explained. "And plus, it takes time to get hair to look this good." Riku remarked as he walked out of the bathroom patting Sora on the head while smirking one of his signature smirks. Only to receive a growl from Sora and a giggle from Sayomi.
"Ha! look at that! Even his girlfriend laughs at him. Sora, you're completely hopeless." Riku added with a smirk.
"She's not my-" Sora covered his mouth gasping and realizing what he just did. "Um...I mean uh, she won't be if she keeps that up...yeah..."
"Whatever, come on Sayo, let's go downstairs and get breakfast while Sora gets ready."
"Ok!" The two headed down to the kitchen while Sora walked into the bathroom grumbling something about chainsaws, a shaver, and having to wear a wig.
Sayomi sat at the table eating her toast while Riku sat there deeply thinking, as usual, about something. 'Riku looks so hot when he thinks like that all serious and stuff. AIIIEE! he's so cute!' Sayo thought.
Riku's POV
Something's going on with those two. Why would Sayomi "act" like Sora's girlfriend. And this morning, Sora said she wasn't his girlfriend too. But surely, the way they act is kind of boyfriend and girlfriend-y. hmm... I've got to talk to Roxas, Tidus, and Wakka about this. Maybe the girls know something too.
Regular POV
Sora came downstairs all ready, and started to eat his breakfast, but was quickly haulted and rushed out the door because they were late.
"Hey! I'm freaking hungry here!" Sora exclaimed.
"Well too bad! We're already late for school because of your stupid bathroom ordeal!" Yelled Sayomi. 'I don't know why I thought I liked her! I guess I was in a temporary state of insanity or something last night. Sheesh! Sometimes she's just so-Ugh!' Sora thought. They jumped into Riku's car and drove off to school.
"So Sayo? Did you get your dress yesterday?" Riku asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, for homecoming? Yeah I did. But then after that I got bored and met up with Sora at gamestop." Sayomi replied.
"Oh, cool. Wait a second...does that mean that Sora wasn't with you guys when you were trying on dresses?" Riku asked. "Wow Sora. You're not as much of a perv as I thought you were."
"What are you talking about Riku! You're the one!" Sora exclaimed, making Riku laugh even more.
"God Sora. He was just joking. Tsk Tsk. No wonder no one dates you as much as they date Riku." Sayomi remarked. Riku gave her a weird look and Sayomi realizing her mistake added, "except me, that is. ehehe...Since we were good friends and all...Oh lookie we're here!" Sayomi jumped out of the car pulling Sora with her and dashed into the school.
"They're so strange...makes me wonder why I'm friends with them." Riku said to himself while he locked his car and walked into the school. When he reached homeroom, everyone was already settled in and he realized he was late.
"Oh, um...sorry I, uh-"
"He was helping me get my things, right Riku? You see I hurt my ankle yesterday and didn't want to go to my locker to get them, and Riku offered to help." Sayomi covered up.
"Very well then, take your seat." The teacher said.
"Thanks Sayomi." Riku said to Sayomi as he took his seat next to her.
As lunch came along, everyone filed into the cafeteria and the gang sat at their usual table.
"Where's Sora?" Riku asked Sayomi.
"Why should I care?" Sayomi responded.
"Because he's your boyfriend?" Riku suggested.
"Oh...well that doesn't necessarily mean I have to keep track of him or anything." Sayomi added.
"Whatever..." Riku said as he turned to the other guys. "Did you guys just see that?" Riku whispered.
"See what mon?" Wakka asked.
"The way Sayomi acted about Sora." Riku answered. "Don't you feel like something strange is going on?"
"No...why would you think that?" Tidus questioned.
"Never mind..." Riku replied, as he continued to think.
Riku's POV
I just can't figure it out. Why would Sora and Sayomi act like they're a couple. I mean what could they possibly want to do? The other guys are obviously no help. But maybe it's something at homecoming. hmm.
Regular POV
Sora finally came to the cafeteria and explained that he had been held after class by the teacher.
Later that night was the homecoming dance. There was mass havoc of girls getting ready, guys doing last minute bookings of restaraunts, groups of people planning what to do after the dance. Sayomi was getting ready at Sora's house since she was staying there. She put on her dress and went into the bathroom to apply her makeup. 'God, this is harder than it looks!' Sayomi thought after poking herself in the eye with the mascara applier. After 1 hour of getting ready, and many bad pokes to the eye, she was finally ready for homecoming. Except...she was 2 hours too early. So she decided to head by Riku's house to see what he was doing, plus she needed to pick up some stuff she left at his house anyways. Sayomi told this to Sora and drove to Riku's house.
"Oh, hey Sayo." Riku said while keeping his eyes glued to his game.
"Hey. Oooooooo! Is that FFVII Dirge of Cerberus!" Sayo exclaimed.
"Uh, ya...Woah!"
"What!"
"Sayo, you..you're already dressed? You look...you look uh different."
"uh yeah. ehehe guess I thought I was gonna take longer. And um...thanks?"
"Oh, sorry. I mean you look great." Riku added. 'She looks really cute like this. That reminds me, I wonder what Kairi will look like' Riku thought.
"Hey, can I play?" Sayomi asked pointing to the game. She picked up the controller and started shooting at a boss.
"Oh yeah. Sure, go ahead. But there's this one boss that I can never beat and-"
"Fine, then I'll beat it for you. Gosh Riku, grow up!" Sayomi said while laughing.
After a few minutes of struggling, Sayomi finally beat the boss. While Riku sat there awestruck.
"That wasn't that hard Riku. You suck at games." Sayomi said jokingly.
"What did you say?" Riku asked while raising an eyebrow. A small grin was forming on his face. "You know what? I don't have to take that from you"
"Oh really, and just what are you going to do about that?" Sayomi asked while also having a sly grin. Riku then suddenly picked up one of the pieces of popcorn he was eating and threw it at Sayomi.
"Oh it's on!"
Soon, there was popcorn, pillows, candy and other items being thrown around Riku's room. And then, they were both laying on the floor laughing uncontrollably.
"look ahahaha at hahahaha my ahhahahahahaha dress ahahahaahaha!" Sayomi managed to get out. Riku sat up and look at the now very wrinkled dress and started laughing even more. The door opened, and in walked Sora, staring at his two friends lying on the ground laughing hysterically.
"Ok guys, what did I miss." Sora said while shaking his head. "Oh, nothing" replied both Sayomi and Riku. While Sayomi went to the bathroom and cleaned up her dress as best as she could, Riku and Sora decided to take a nap before they left. 'That was so much fun. I don't ever think I had this much with Kairi, or anyone else. Maybe I'm dating the wrong girl...hmmm. Maybe, Sayomi's the one I really want...I don't know' Riku thought. After Sayomi came out of the bathroom, she found the two boys sleeping, so she decided to wake them up. After that, they drove off to the dance in Riku's car. They met up with Kairi, Namine and the other guys at the dance. Once their pictures were all taken, they went to the dance floor and started to dance. Sora started dancing with Sayomi and looked over at Kairi and Riku. He saw Kairi look in the same direction and quickly looked away. 'Hehe, she's jealous! The plan worked!' he thought to himself. As the song ended, he took another peak at Kairi and their eyes met. Riku happened to catch this. 'So that's what's going on. Sora's using Sayomi to get Kairi.' Riku figured out. They stepped off the floor and headed to their other friends and started talking.
"Hey Sayo, why do you have popcorn in your hair?" Selphie asked
"Oh, oops. Well thank Riku for that!" Sayomi replied. The two started bursting into laughter again and everyone stared at them.
The announcer stepped up to the mike and announced that they were going to reveal the royalty. The groups' ears only perked up when the announcer said, "And the Junior class King: Riku, and the queen: Sayomi!" Riku and Sayomi both looked at each other and walked up to the stage.
"Now as you know, the kings and queens have to share a dance, so everyone clear the floor."
Everyone obeyed, and Sayomi and Riku stepped on with the other grades' royalties. A slow song cam on and Sayomi looked up at Riku.
"I guess we have to do this.." Riku declared.
"Yeah, guess so." Sayomi placed her hands on Riku's shoulder and Riku placed his hands on Sayo's hips and they started to slow dance. Everyone watched as they started leaning closer and feeling more comfortable with each other. The dance turned very passionate as they moved across the dance floor. Sora couldn't help but feel a little jealous of their heated dance. Soon the dance was over and Riku made an important decision. Meanwhile, during that dance, Sora and Kairi were talking and becoming friends again, well at least not mortal enemies.
Everyone soon left the gym and the gang headed to Sora's house to have the barbeque party. The group started dancing some more and eating the food and hang out in general. Sora went in to get some more drinks, and Riku followed. They reached the kitchen, and Sora realized that Riku was behind him.
"Oh, thanks for helping me Riku." Sora said. Riku went up closer to him and came face to face with Sora.
"I know you're using Sayomi to make Kairi jealous and come back to you. Look, I don't know if you like Kairi or Sayomi or both even, and I know that you and Sayomi made an agreement on something. So which do you like?" Riku asked seriously.
"What? wait...Riku." Sora asked confusedly.
"Which one do you like?"
"I don't... I don't know. I guess I can't choose. I like them both. I mean Kairi's been really nice to me and waited for me, but Sayo's fun to be with and we can relate, plus we're kinda dating. I guess Kairi's more of a sister,than girlfriend, and I realize that now. So I pick Sayomi. "
"Well then, I guess I'm now officially your competition. I realized something important tonight. I felt something different when I dance with Sayomi." Riku stated. Sora looked very puzzled "Let me clarify this for you then." Riku suggested.
Riku then leaned over and whispered menancingly in Sora's ear, "I'm gonna steal Sayo from you." Leaving chills down Sora's spine as he walked away with a smirk on his face.
