Author's Note: Here's chapter 19. Sorry for the long delay! School's been getting in the way, especially Speech class. I had to write a speech and practice it a lot! Oh, and I'd like to give credit to my friend, Anais05 for helping me come up with new chapters. Anyway, here's chapter 19!
Chapter 19: Pep RallyI tapped my pencil on the Trigonometry test I was hoping to finish today. I liked math, I just hated taking math tests. Not only was I eager to get out of math class soon, but I was also eager to get out of school soon. Tonight was the pep rally, which was a party for the Blitzball players. Sora, Riku, and Roxas were on the team, so I knew they were going to be there. Speaking of Riku, Selphie has been acting quite weird lately around Riku. She doesn't have a crush on him, or does she? I just forgot about everything I was thinking about and went back to finishing the test.
I finally finished the test and handed it to my teacher. My guess was that we were able to do whatever we wanted for the rest of the period as long as we were quiet. I just sat back at my desk and began doodling on a sheet of paper. I couldn't get the fact that Sora almost kissed me out of my head. I was SO close that night, until my stupid cell phone rang and disturbed us like in movies.
The bell finally rang for us to go to third period. Gym was the next period. I hope we weren't running on the track today. Even if we did, I wouldn't mind because I could just run with Sora or my friends. As I walked down the hall I saw flyers up all over the hallway.
" Pep Rally?" I asked myself.
" It's a party for the Blitzball players." Sora said as he read the flyer next to me. " You going? Everyone in the school's invited."
" Um, sure. It sounds like fun." I grinned. " Well, we should head on over to Gym."
" Yeah."
I was so happy about Gym today. We were playing Volleyball today. The coach divided the class into teams. My team was playing against Tidus's team, so I knew Selphie was going to want to give him a piece of her mind. We played for about a half an hour, but Selphie got really pissed at one point. She was going towards the ball to set it, but she missed and Tidus started to laugh like crazy. Selphie then, even though she sucked serving, scored the final serve causing us to win the game.
The rest of the day went by quick. I went home right after to get ready for the pep rally. It was going to be a party for athletics, so I decided to wear my Volleyball jersey, which was just a light blue sleeveless jersey with the number 34 on the front and it said, "Destiny Island Bears" on the back. I wore that over a white T-shirt with some sweatpants. For my hair, I just decided to brush it again and then put it in a ponytail. My mom gave me some money and Roxas came with Selphie and Namine to pick me up.
Sora's POVI knew for sure that tonight was going to be crazy because all of the fan girls are going to be all over me. I looked at myself in the mirror as I put on my Blitzball uniform. (A/N: You know what the uniforms look like if you've played FFX.) One of my hopes was that Kairi doesn't get jealous of the other girls, but she might not. It's not like I'm dating them. I ran one my hands through my hair as I took a deep sigh. It was almost time for the pep rally, so I took my car keys AND house keys and walked out the door. I was never going to forget my house keys again after that embarrassing moment where I had to stay at Kairi's because I was locked out.
Anyway, I drove off to the high school where the rally was being held. As I arrived in the parking lot, I could see that Roxas's car was there, so I guess that he was already here with the girls. I got out of the car and put on my hoodie and pulled the hood over my head and face. I had to go undercover until I at least got into the school. Once I was in and went to the football field, I was finally able to take it off. I saw Kairi and her friends walking around a bit. Man, she looked so pretty in her jersey. What the heck! She always looks pretty! I was pretty calm about the crowd until then…
Kairi's POV
Namine, Selphie, and I walked over to take a seat where the seniors sat for opening announcements. As I did, I couldn't help, but notice a huge pile of girls in one spot. I didn't know what was going on, but it looked like…they were clanging on Sora! Poor Sora, I thought to myself. Sora managed to escape the ambush and get over to where we were.
" Are you okay?" I asked Sora who looked like he was just beaten up.
" I…I think so." He answered rubbing his head.
" Sora, come on, it's time for opening announcements." Riku said as he came over to us with Roxas.
Sora stood up and walked over with Roxas and Riku while we just waited for the announcements. The announcer eventually came up onto the stage that was set up and began to introduce us to tonight's pep rally.
" Hello Destiny Island Bears! Tonight we are partying here to honor the seniors that were chosen for this year's Varsity Blitzball team! First, let's introduce the seniors!" The announcer announced and all of us seniors stood up while the crowd cheered. " Now as you all know, seniors, the prom is only a couple months off, so, girls, start looking for the lucky guy who's going to escort you to the prom. And now, let's introduce this year's Varsity Blitzball team!" The crowd went wild as the Blitzball players came onto the stage.
" Sora! Sora! He's our man! If he can't do it, no one can!" I heard the cheerleaders cheering as Sora came onto the stage and waved.
" Now, as of Monday, these players will be training and playing their hardest to take home this year's High School Blitzball championship! They came close last year. They lost by only one point, but I have a feeling that this year's team is going be lean and mean!" The crowd went wild as the players waved. " Now, let the festivities begin!"
Finally, we didn't have to sit through hour-long announcements like you sometimes have to. There was lots of stuff to do. I looked at Selphie who looked like she was falling in love with this game where you pop a balloon and there was a dare you would have to do. Namine and I ended up following Selphie over to the game. There was a dare where this guy was dared to shave his best friend's legs. Selphie decided to go next. She was given a pin and popped a green balloon that was right in front of her. The paper fell onto the ground. She picked it up.
" What does it say?" I asked.
" It says, 'you have to kiss the best friend of your best friend's crush.' I have to kiss your crush's best friend?" Selphie looked shocked.
" Oh, hell no." Namine looked concerned.
Selphie looked behind her and saw Riku. Poor Selphie, she looked so embarrassed. Riku looked embarrassed too. She took a breath and quickly kissed Riku on the lips. Everyone was cheering, which made Selphie even more embarrassed. She just backed away from the crowd and walked away. Namine and I followed her. When she stopped, it looked like she was on the verge of tears.
" Selph, are you okay?" Namine asked.
" No, I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life." Selphie began to sob a bit.
" Selphie, that was nothing compared to embarrassing moments the rest of us have had." I informed her.
" Yeah, like, remember when Kairi bombed in Romeo and Juliet." Namine laughed.
" Don't remind me." I said putting my face in my hands. " Well, you see, our point is that everybody gets embarrassed sometime and people are going to laugh at you, but the only people who would never laugh at you, is us, your friends."
" Yeah." Selphie grinned and wiped away her tears. " BFFs."
" Speaking of which, I think you might want help out Sora a bit, Kairi." Namine suggested to where Sora was being yanked and pulled by a bunch of cheerleaders.
" You're right." I agreed and jogged over to where Sora was. " Sora, you need help?" '
" YES!" Sora answered trying to escape them.
Sora then got an idea. He took off his shirt and threw it out towards the cheerleaders. Then, the cheerleaders started to fight over his shirt. What is it about those cheerleaders? Sora and I began to run anywhere as long as we were getting away from the cheerleaders. We hid behind a tree for now. Sora took out an extra shirt and put it on him. I then looked around and saw a place where the cheerleaders wouldn't dare to look for Sora in. It was in a portable bathroom. It wasn't the best hiding place because it stunk and it could only fit one person at a time, so were kind of squished up against each other.
" Sorry this isn't the best hiding place." I laughed.
" It's all right. As long as we're away from the crazed girls. Boy, I sure am glad you're not like them."
" Yeah. So, you looking forward to the Spring Break trip in a week?"
" Hell yeah. I so need to leave this country for a week. Besides we get to go to the place where the burrito is known as a Mexican hot dog." Sora laughed. " I'm also looking forward to eating at one of their restaurants, La Casa Lopez, where they have these monster size burritos that I want to try. It's filled with beef, beans, cheese, chicken, pork…"
" Sora, you're making me hungry." I laughed.
" So am I, let's get some food."
We began to slowly move towards the door to the portable bathroom. Apparently, we were really squished now. Sora suggested that I try and get out first since I'm smaller than him. We began to move around a bit, but as I did, I moved my head around too. When I turned my head, my face accidentally went crashing onto Sora's, causing our lips to touch accidentally. We broke away immediately and blushed in embarrassment, but at least we managed to get out of the portable bathroom without dying.
The end of the pep rally came several hours later. The finale was that the Blitzball players had to dress up like cheerleaders and the cheerleaders had to dress up as Blitzball players. As the Blitzball players came onto the stage dressed up as cheerleaders, everybody cheered and laughed. Same thing happened with the cheerleaders. What a party this was!
Roxas and Namine dropped me off before Namine headed home. I went upstairs to my room and just plopped onto my bed. Man, I was so beat, and I was so not used to having so much room after being stuck in the portable bathroom. Well, at least I was stuck with Sora.
Author's Note: Hope you all liked that chapter. I think the next chapter is when they go to Mexico for Spring Break. So, review if you want the gang to go to Mexico!
