Chapter 8: The Game

I was running to school this morning! I had to get there quickly to see if Sora and I got the parts of Romeo and Juliet! I was so fast that Namine and Selphie were out of breath by the time they caught up to me! I busted right through the doors and looked straight at the bulletin board. I looked at the top where the main characters were. I read it. And…I GOT JULIET AND SORA GOT ROMEO? I fainted when I saw that Sora got Romeo and I got Juliet. Namine had to catch me and Selphie had to find a way to wake me up. I woke up in the nurse's office with an ice pack on my head. I was still quite dizzy.

" What happened?" I asked a little queasy.

" You fainted when you found out that you got Juliet and Sora got Romeo." Selphie said.

" Seriously? YES!" I jumped high in the air.

I walked out of the nurse's office with a pass to first period. This was so exciting! I was going to be Juliet! I walked to my locker and grabbed my things for Spanish class.

End of the day

At the end of the day, everyone was cheering for today was the championship Volleyball game! Selphie and I hurried over to the gym as soon as the bell rang. Namine was talking to Roxas and said that she'll meet us there. When we got to the gym, we took out our jerseys and put them on. I was quite nervous. While we were getting dressed, the coach gave us a reminder that it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, we're just here to have fun. I actually didn't care about winning either. 2 minutes later, Namine walked in quickly and got dressed. I put my hair up in a ponytail to keep it out of my face. Namine did the same. We also changed our shoes. The coach made sure that we were ready and then the announcer began announcing. The announcers were students. Namine said that Riku and Roxas were announcing.

" Good afternoon, Destiny Island Bears, we have all gathered here to honor the hot chicks that will be…" Riku began announcing.

" Riku! Anyway, we have all gathered here to honor the STUDENTS that will be playing in this year's championship Volleyball game!" Roxas interrupted, but then said the right thing. The crowd began to cheer.

" First off, let's bring out the ladies that will be playing today. First off, it's the Key West Wolves!" Riku announced as Key West High School came out. I had no idea we were playing against them again! They kicked our asses in 10th and 11th grade! I was scared to death now!

" And our very own…Destiny Island Bears!" Roxas cheered. All of us ran out and waved to every one. " Today, we will answer the question everyone asks at the beginning of the year! Who will leave today as today's champions!"

" Key West!" The Key West team cheered.

" Destiny Islands!" We cheered.

" Whoa, looks like this is going to be a tough game today! Now folks, just sit tight and the game will start in 10 minutes!" Riku announced.

The team began to stretch out. Selphie wasn't that flexible, but Namine and I were. We were in gymnastics in 1st grade and we quit in 2nd grade because we got bored with it. After we finished stretching, we each had to take a volleyball and practice a little bit before the game started. I just continued to bump to Namine then she would bump to Selphie and so on. I heard footsteps behind me. I wondered who it was. I was hoping it was Sora, but it was someone else. An evil someone else.

" Hello, Kairi." I heard and evil, female's voice. I turned around and there, I saw my worst enemy. She used to go to the same school I did in Jr. High, but she transferred in 8th grade.

" Hello, Tifa." I just simply said madly.

" Today's the day, Kairi. The day you and your little pipsqueak friends get your asses kicked." Tifa glared. " I've kicked your ass two years in a row."

" You're right. We've lost to you in the past two years, but guess what, Tifa, this is the day we're going to kick your ass!" I was pissed now.

" That'll be the day." Tifa flipped her hair back and walked away.

" All right, girls! You ready?" I asked the team. " We've lost to Key West two years in a row now! Today is going to be the day we get our revenge on them! Everyone, tripe T, -K, -A."

" Time to totally kick ass!" All of us said together.

Minutes later, the game began. We served first. I served overhand and it went over the net perfectly. However, one from the other team bumped it over to someone else, then that person set it to Tifa and then she spiked it earning a point. Tifa smirked at me and walked back to serve. Tifa overhand served the ball to us. Olette bumped it, Selphie set it, and I spiked it, but Tifa of course bumped it back over. That caused her to earn another point for her team. This was unreal! We were getting beaten again! 20 minutes passed and the first match was over. There are three matches in a volleyball match. The first one was over. We lost to Key West. It was 20 to 25. I was so tired after the first match. I talked to the coach and decided to keep me out for the first half of the next match. I went to the concessions stand to get some water.

" One water, please." I asked as I gave the student working a dollar.

" Hey, Kairi." I turned around and saw Sora behind me.

" Sora? What're you doing here?"

" Watching the game. You're really good, even though your team is losing." I could see Sora blushing.

" Thanks." I blushed too.

" Here's your drink." The student at the concessions stand gave me my water.

" Well, I better get back."

" Good luck!" Sora waved to me as I walked back to the team.

I walked back to where the team waited and sat on one of the chairs I told the coach and changed my mind about sitting out. So, she's going to let me go out. The second match began and it was time to play again. Selphie was the first one to serve. Selphie did an underhand serve to the underhand serve. Tifa bumped it over the net, but Yuna set it to me and I spiked it.

40 minutes later…

It was the end of the final match. We won the second match, but now things were starting to heat up! It was a tie and there were only 30 seconds left of this match. This was the last serve! The score was 24 to 24. Tifa was serving the final serve! If we don't get it to the other side, we're done for! Tifa took the ball to the back of the court and served it. It came flying to our side. Yuna bumped it to Olette and Olette set it to Namine. Namine jumped to score the winning spike, but when she did, she didn't realize her shoes were untied! She tripped on the lace and fell onto her knees. The ball was still coming! With 10 seconds left! I sprinted over to where Namine was, jumped onto and off her back and spiked it! It went onto the other side and…WE SCORED! The entire crowd that was cheering for our school jumped up and cheered. Namine tied her shoes and began jumping with Selphie and I as our coach was given the championship.

We walked out of the school the happiest ever! We had never beaten Key West before! The cool thing is Sora was there and actually saw me spike that ball! Roxas decided to walk with us tonight. I knew that if Roxas and Namine were to be a couple, they would be a happy couple. I continued walking, but some of my stuff fell out of my bag. I told the others I'll catch up with them. I picked up the stuff, but looked up to see Sora looking down at me with a huge grin.

" Kairi! You did it!" Sora pulled me up into and embrace. " You scored the final point!" I was blushing like crazy now and my heart was skipping beats! Sora was hugging me! I grinned and hugged him back slowly. " Oh, and did you see the cast list?"

" Yeah." I said as we pulled away.

" Can you believe it? We got the parts!" Sora was happy too.

" I know! So, are you walking home tonight?" I asked.

" No, I drove my car today. You want a ride?"

" No thanks, I'm walking home with my friends. But thanks."

" I'll see you!"

I ran up to where my friends were waiting for me. They asked me what took me so long, but I told them that I was talking with Sora and that he hugged me. Of course, Selphie squealed. The fact that Sora and I were Romeo and Juliet, this was going to be one interesting play.

Author's Note: Yay! Kairi and Sora got the parts! And Sora hugged Kairi! Review please!
