Chapter 3

Kairi's Day

She sighed. After she spoke to Namine about their 'boy-problems' she felt so depressed. What if Sora didn't actually like her more than her friend? They knew each other since they were young, right? Maybe it was nothing more than a stupid crush. Maybe it'll pass.

Kairi laughed silently. "Yeah, maybe it will pass." She whispered.

She turned on her radio. She always tuned to her favorite station, Simple.fm.

Why? Because they always had her favorite songs and they also tuned in Jpop songs too. And she knew Japanese, who doesn't here in this island?

"Next up: Hikari by Utada Hikaru!"

Oh great, just what I need. Kairi thought.

Melody

"My light…" She whispered. Sora…

She remembered the day he asked her to listen to this song…a few weeks after he moved out, he came online and asked her to listen to it. She never forgot that day.

Flashback

KeYmAsTeR13: Hey Kairi

HeartfulGlory: Hey Sora! How's your new house?

KeYmAsTeR13: Yeah…it's fine. But I miss the island. I miss everyone there. I miss you.

(Kairi blushed. He misses me!)

HeartfulGlory: I miss you too. Everyone misses you here too. Will you ever come back?

KeYmAsTeR13: I dunno. It depends on my mom and dad. I hope we do.

HeartfulGlory: I hope so too.

KeYmAsTeR13: Yea…hey you heard of that new song, "Hikari"? You should listen to it. It's good.

HeartfulGlory: Really? Well...you have the file?

KeYmAsTeR13: Oh yea sure. Here ya go.

KeYmAsTeR13 is sending file Hikari.mp3 to HeartfulGlory. Do you accept or decline?

HearftfulGlory has accepted file Hikari.mp3 from KeYmAsTeR13. (Downloading)

KeYmAsTeR13: Hey I heard Riku's moving out too. Where do u think he's going?

HeartfulGlory: I dunno. He was in a bad mood since he found out he's going too.

KeYmAsTeR13: Oh…wanna play a game?

HeartfulGlory: lol…sure.

End Flashback

"How can my life get any worse? Sora surely doesn't like me. He just looks at me as a friend!" Kairi said, sad.

She buried herself in her bed, as if hoping that everything would go away. But nothing would go away. I wonder what Namine is doing right now…She thought.

"Oh what's the point? Here I am, liking a guy who is supposed to be one of my best friends, and everything's going bad because I don't like him, I love him!" She shouted, burying herself deeper and deeper into her bed.

I sooo wish Sora could see this!

Namine's Day

She looked at her drawing of Riku. She was an excellent drawer; she was born to be an artist.

She sighed. He was just too good for her. He wouldn't even think of her as anymore than a friend. Why did her crush have to be him? Why did she ever have crushes, anyway?

Or was it even a crush…

No. She didn't want to think about that. It has to be just a crush. It has to.

She started drawing another picture of Riku.

Art is my life, well kinda, but it is. I love art. I love art…I love Ri...ku…WHAT?

I can't believe I just thought that! No! I don't love him! He's just a crush! It'll pass! I know it will!

Sigh…

What is the point here? Right now, I'm just drawing him. Maybe I don't like him at all. Maybe I'm obsessed with him. I have to get rid of this feeling…I must get rid of this feeling.

Draw. Erase. Draw. Look. Draw. Erase. Blow. Draw.

"Draw, draw, draw! That's all I'm good at. I know, tomorrow, I'll tell him. Maybe that way I'll somehow feel better. And I won't tell anyone about this plan. I know what happened last time." She said.

Flashback

Namine walked over to her locker to put her books. There, she saw her crush…Jake…

She's been crushing on him for long. She never got the guts to tell him that. But today, today she will tell him.

Kairi walked over. "Hey Namine." She said.

"Hi…Kairi…" Namine said, distracted.

"Earth to Namine! He's not really there anymore." Said Kairi, laughing.

Namine blushed. She always seemed to do that nowadays. Oh yeah, the plan.

"Hey Kairi. I've decided to tell Jake that I like him." She said.

But Kairi was still laughing. "S-Sorry. What?"

"I've decided to tell Jake that I like him." Said Namine, softly.

"What? I can't hear you." Said Kairi.

Namine was irritated now. "I SAID I'VE DECIDED TO TELL JAKE I LIKE HIM!" She shouted.

Everyone looked at her. Including Jake. Namine blushed a deep red and walked away, Kairi trailing behind.

End Flashback

"That was the worse thing that has ever happened to me! I'm never telling Kairi again. She changes her ears to deafness when I want to tell her." Said Namine.

This time, I will make it - Namine -/

Aerith's Day

"Sir gave us a lot of homework today, huh Cloud?" Aerith said cheerfully.

"Yeah…" Cloud said, sitting on his chair, sniffing.

"Aw don't cry, Cloud. I'm here to help everyday, right?" She said, smiling.

"But you're always helping me. When will I ever learn myself? I'm a dumb person…" He said, depressed.

"Don't say that, Cloud! Remember, we're always together. We'll always help each other! Remember the deal?" Aerith said, smiling.

"Yeah." Cloud said.

Flashback

Ansem walked towards Aerith's locker while she was arranging her books in her locker. (Note: That time, Aerith and Cloud just started dating.)

Ansem leaned on the locker. "Hey, Aerith. What do you want to do today?" He asked, grinning.

Aerith hated this man. But she smiled and said, "Nothing. I just want to learn, since that is why I come to school for."

"Take a break for once. You'll have wrinkles by the time you turn 18 with all that studying." He said.

"Then that shall be it." She said, and walked away from him.

But he wouldn't let her go that easily. He grabbed her arm, and pulled her back to him. She dropped her books in surprise.

"Take a break." He said.

Aerith struggled. Now she's beginning to get scared. "NO!" She shouted.

"Now, now. Don't be stubborn." He said.

But a searing pain in his back made him let Aerith go.

"Watch who you're picking on." Said a person behind him.

Aerith recognized that voice anywhere. "Cloud!" She ran to him.

Cloud hugged her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Aerith smiled and nodded her head.

"What the hell? Cloud! Stay away from what I do!" Ansem shouted.

"I would never if it included my girlfriend!" He shouted.

"Your girlfriend! Hah! That will never happen!" He shouted.

Yuffie and Squall saw what happened, and rushed in to help.

"Stay away from Aerith, Ansem." Yuffie said, mad.

"Ah. Another beauty. You want to play with me too?" He asked.

"Never." She said, growling.

"Cute. But no time to play now. Cloud, I'll be waiting after school." He said, and walked off.

"Aerith, are you okay?" Yuffie asked.

"I'm fine." She said, smiling. "Sorry for worrying you guys." She said.

"No problemo! I would be glad to beat up that huge ass!" Yuffie shouted, pumping up her arms in the air.

"I won't let him go near you ever again." Cloud whispered to her.

"All right, then lets make a deal. You keep me away from him, and I'll help you with your maths." She said, giggling. "That way we can always help each other!" She said smiling.

"I would always help you. But that's a deal anyway." He said, smiling.

The bell rang. Cloud and Aerith hugged again and headed to their classes.

End Flashback

"I was scared that time. Ansem scared me." She said.

Cloud hugged her close and said, "I'll be there. Just call me if anyone bothers you."

"I know, I know. I'll call you, anytime." She said, hugging him back.

"Oh yeah. Homework." Cloud said.

"Glad you remember." She said, giggling.

Yuffie's Day

She just finished her homework. Now she wants to eat…CANDY…

"Now's my chance. Everyone's in their room, studying!" She whispered triumphantly.

She opened her door very slowly and quietly she sneaked to the jar of candy they had in case they felt like eating it. But Yuffie, well she's hyper enough and when she takes a bite, she goes even more hyper!

Must have candy…must eat candy…must breathe candy…and I can't let Squall see!

Almost there…

Squall just came out of the bathroom near Yuffie's room and found the door unlocked. Yuffie…

He walked quietly to the kitchen to see Yuffie trying to reach the jar of candy.

"Yuffie…" He said.

"Huh?" Yuffie turned. She saw Squall. Uh-Oh…

But she lost her balance. "AHH!" She shouted.

Squall ran to catch her. He caught her and looked at her. She was holding her arms to her chest, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Phew…thanks Squall." She said, nervously laughing.

"Don't do that again." He said as he put her down.

"Uh…hehe…" She laughed nervously.

"And what did I tell you about taking our candy?" Squall said.

"Uh…um…bye!" She ran. Well, tried to.

Squall caught hold of her arm and asked her with his eyes closed, "What did I tell you?"

"I shall not eat candy in the house or else I might destroy everything here." She said, grumpily.

"Right." Squall said.

"Sorry." She said as he let her go.

"It's ok." He said.

Yuffie couldn't stop thinking about Squall. He's so hot. She's in love with him. But…he'll never love her. He'll only love her as a sister…nothing else.

She sighed audibly. Squall sensed something wrong.

"What's wrong, Yuffie?" He asked, monotonously.

"Oh nothing. I'll be going to my room now." She said.

"…" He didn't say anything and just watched her leave.

….

Yuffie went to her room and switched on the radio.

"Next up: Addicted to you UP-IN-HEAVEN-MIX by Utada Hikaru!"

"I like this song…" Yuffie said.

She turned up the volume.

"Well…that was nice…" Yuffie said, feeling sleepy.

She fell asleep, and forgot to shut her door again.

Squall looked inside and saw her sleeping peacefully. He smiled and walked back to his room.
