Author's Note: Enjoy chapter 13. I realize that one of my reviews said my chapters are too short, the reason they're so short is because long chapters are for large events that happen in this story.
Special Announcement: I'll be at camp from August 13-19, so I won't be able to update, I know I just went on vacation before, but this is the last vacation until later.
Chapter 13: Thinking About YouI grabbed some supplies and walked out the door of my house. Today, I was going to Sora's house to work on the project. I've never actually been inside of his house. I walked up to his door and rang the doorbell. He came and answered the door and let me in. I fell in love with his house! It was so much nicer than mine! I went and sat on the most comfortable couch I've ever sat on. It was like, sitting on a cloud. I just wanted to lie down and fall asleep on it, but I couldn't we ad work to do.
" Man, your house is nice." I complimented Sora.
" Thanks, you want a soda or something?"
" Um, you got Pepsi?"
" Every single kind of Pepsi." Sora went in and came back out with a Pepsi and a Root Beer. " Here you go."
" So, was the house always like this, or did you redo it?" I asked opening my soda.
" We redid it. That reminds me, my room was so plain white until now! You got to come see it." Sora started to go upstairs and I followed. He opened the door to what I call a site!
" Oh my gosh! This is so awesome! Whoa, nice bed!" I went and jumped onto his bed. " Nice room! What do you have that I don't?" I laughed in amusement. Sora then took out a remote and pressed a button on it. A robot then came wheeling over to us. I thought my jaws were going to fall out.
" Number 7, two strawberry banana smoothies please." Sora said as he sat on the bed.
" NUMBER…7…AT…YOUR…SERVICE!" The robot spoke and out popped out two smoothies.
" Whoa. Thanks." I thanked him as I took a smoothie.
" Oh, and a rose, please." Sora asked for some reason. The robot popped out a rose. " For you." Sora handed me the rose.
" Thanks." I blushed. " How'd you know I like roses?"
" Selphie, she told me."
" Typical. Well, let's get to work now." I said as I put my rose and smoothie down.
I took out paper and began to write down things. I couldn't help but think, why did Sora give me a rose? Does he like me? Or is he just trying to welcome me as a guest? Why do I keep refusing to believe that Sora might feel the same way I do for him? Maybe it's just because I feel like I'm dreaming. Like, in a matter a minutes, I can wake up and it'll be the first day of 12th grade again. I'm so confused. My mom says I'm not dreaming, but that's what people in my dreams say. They always say, " you're not dreaming," and it just, creeps me out. If Sora does feel the same way, then this is a good start. I also have to find out if he's ever kissed anyone before, because if he hasn't, then when we kiss for the first time, it'll be a real special moment because we'll both be getting our first kiss because I've never been kissed before in my life. That's it! I had to ask!
" Sora?"
" Huh?" Sora answered looking at me with those innocent blue eyes that I can't resist.
" I have to ask you something." I said looking down.
" What is it?"
" Um, I know this will sound weird, but… have you ever…kissed a girl before?" I asked while blushing.
" What do you mean? Like, what kind of kiss?" Sora actually looked pretty confused.
" You know, like, a normal kiss. Like the kind that you get on a date or after a date. Not like a French kiss, but you know what I mean, just a normal one."
" Uh…well. Do kisses on the cheek count?"
" No, I mean a kiss on the lips."
" No, I can't say I have. I've given numerous kisses on the cheeks to cheerleaders, but no, I've never actually kissed a girl before. Why?" Sora asked.
" Just wondering." I put my head down hoping he doesn't find out I like him.
" Have you been kissed?" Sora asked me.
" No. I'm saving my first kiss for someone really special. I'm saving it for the first guy that says, "I love you" to me." I sighed. " Well, anyway, we should get back to work."
I felt kind of embarrassed asking Sora if he's ever kissed a girl before. Then again, he did ask me if I've been kissed before. So, I guess that makes two of us. I just continued on with working on the biography of Sora. A few hours went by and I was almost done with my essay. I glanced at Sora every now and then. Every time I did, he looked spaced out, like he was dreaming or having a vision or something. We turn away quickly whenever we glanced at each other at the same time. His father came home. Sora heard the doorbell ring, and his father came up to us a few minutes after hearing it.
" Hey you two, working on the project?" He asked. He seemed like a nice guy.
" Got it covered, Dad." Sora said.
" Kairi, your mother came by and said that you have an appointment at the recording studio now."
" Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about that! Thank you so much Mr. Nomura." I grabbed my things. " I'll see you later, Sora."
" Bye."
Sora's POVI watched as Kairi walked out of my room. I also looked at the calendar. Dang, it was still November. We still have a lot of time till the play. The play won't be presented until February. Since Romeo and Juliet is such a hard play to do. I'm actually doing very well with Romeo right now. I blushed when Kairi came back to my room because she forgot the rose I gave her. She said thanks and walked out. My dad grinned and came and sat next to me on the bed.
" You really like her, don't you?" My dad asked me.
" Yeah. She's every guy's dream of a girl. She's perfect. Kairi's beautiful, smart, funny, innocent, kind, and basically everything." I sighed as I lay down on my bed. " Dad? Why did you and Mom split up?"
" Sora, your mother and I, we just didn't get along very well. We got very violent at times. We split up to protect you and your brother. I just hope that when you marry, you marry the one woman that will care for you no matter what." My dad explained to me. " So, now, you can have a new mom with another little brother to look after."
" Dad, I just want to know, what is true love? I feel the love, but is it true?"
" True love is when you feel in love with a person and you'll always love that person no matter what happens." My dad sighed and then stood up. " Well, I let you go back to doing your work."
I decided to take a walk at this moment. I don't get cold easily. So, I can survive. I just walked out of my house and glanced over at Kairi's house. I guess she was back from her appointment. I saw her hanging from her window with a note pad. I could hear her singing. I guess she was trying to write a new song. Man, she is so beautiful. I can't believe she can't tell yet. I just walked through the town and towards the beach. It was sundown, so it looked real nice. I can imagine Kairi just standing there beside me gazing at the sunset with me. I went and sat on the rocks and let the breeze blow through my spiky hair. I was joined by Riku.
" What're you thinking about?" Riku asked.
" Nothing." I lied.
" You know, you suck at lying."
" Fine, I'm thinking about Kairi." I sighed.
" Dude, just ask her out already! I'm sure she'll say yes!"
" What if she says no."
" Then, you're in trouble, but just give it a shot." Riku shook me a bit. " You'll never know unless you give it a shot! Ask her to the upcoming dance!"
" No way! I already plan on asking her out to the prom."
" Ask her out ahead of time!"
" Riku, thanks for the advice, but I'm just not ready to admit that I like her yet." I said as I stood up.
I turned around and began to walk back home. Even though, I was popular, I still felt an empty space in my heart. If Kairi feels the same way I feel about her, then she will feel that empty space and my heart will be complete. Whenever I feel that empty space my heart, it makes me sad. I don't cry, but sometimes I want to. I just walked into my house and lay on my bed. I can remember the first time I laid eyes on her. My first day going to Destiny Islands High School.
FlashbackI walked into my new school quietly. My other school was smaller, so I was kind of nervous about going to this new, big school. I walked into the office and asked for my schedule. I looked to see what classes I had. I didn't know where my English class was. I saw a tall guy with long silver hair standing in front of a locker talking with a guy with blonde, spiky hair.
" Um, excuse me? Where's room 203?" I asked.
" Down the hall, to your first left when you reach the cafeteria." The silver hair guy answered.
" Thanks." The blonde boy came up to me and gave me a weird look.
" You're new, right? I'm Roxas. This is Riku." The blonde boy introduced him and his friend to me.
" I'm Sora. I transferred here from Traverse Town."
" I must say, welcome Sora. Let me see your schedule." Riku took my schedule and took a look at it. " We have the same classes, so I guess we'll have to give you a tour as we pass through."
I wasn't paying attention. I had my mind on something else. Or I should say, someone else. It was a girl. She looked my age. She had blue eyes and short, auburn hair. I watched as she walked down the hall past me. I couldn't stop staring at her. She was so beautiful. There were two other girls with here. One had brown hair that curled in the back and one that had long, blonde hair. I still kept my eyes on the auburn haired girl.
" Sora? Wake up!" Riku shook me and I snapped out of my daydream.
" Who's that?" I asked pointing to the auburn haired girl.
" Oh, that's Namine. Isn't she dreamy. She must have a billions of tiny holes poked into her head in order to keep all of that blonde hair." Roxas said in a dreamy voice.
" No! Not that girl! That girl!"
" Oh, her? That's Kairi Mimura." Riku answered. The bell rang. " Come on, you don't want to be late for Mrs. Hart's English class. She'll totally lose it!"
" Um, okay." I said as I took one last glance at Kairi before we walked to class.
End of flashback
" Man, I should of asked her out in the 9th grade!" I lay back down in my bed.
