Ok, I've been sick lots lately (for more than a week!) And I worked on this as soon as I could when I got better
Is Love Joy or Sorrow?
Chap. 6 Nerves
"Oh, honey, you look so handsome!"
"Ah, Mom," Sora grumbled, "Please…"
"Okay…But, I can't help it you look so-"
"Stop right there! I'm going."
"So…Any pretty girls you gonna dance with tonight?" she giggled.
"Bye, Mom! I'm leaving!" Sora went out the door to his car.
Maybe I should ask Kairi to…nah…
Sora hopped into his car and drove over to Riku's to pick him up.
Knock knock!
"Hey Sora. You look nice. Get all 'pertied' up for someone special?"
"No! It's the dance, you're supposed to do that."
"Haha! I know, I know…"
"So, you think Tidus will want to drive my car again?" Sora asked nervously.
"If he does, "…that crazy driver…"You just have to say no."
Sigh…"Yeah, no offense…But, I don't think he should even have a license."
"How bout I drive then? I'm not too shabby. Besides, I've always wanted to drive something like this!"
"Sure, go ahead."
They arrived at Tidus' and he came out with Sephie.
"Awwww…don't you two just make the cutest couple?" Riku asked in a high-pitched voice.
That made Sora laugh.
"Don't we though?" Tidus winked, "Selphie in the most beautiful dress I've ever seen, and me in my famous blue tux!"
"Ya, blue. How trendy," Riku said sarcastically.
"Riku, you wanna meet Mrs. Fist!" Selphie was angry, "He looks cute," she leaned her head on Tidus' shoulder as soon as they were all set to go and in the car,
"Thanks, babe," Tidus kissed the top of her head, then laid his on top of hers.
Sora observed them as Riku started the car and headed toward the high school. Their forms seemed to change as he daydreamed…he saw Kairi and him sitting in their place, and he couldn't help but think, I have to ask her tonight…I HAVE to…
Kairi entered the gym, seeing sparkling disco lights and streamers everywhere. It had already started, and people were on the dance floor. The song playing now was slow, so she was about to turn around to go sit.
"Kairi!" Selphie grabbed her arm, "I requested our song! You have to come dance with me after this!"
Kairi smiled from ear to ear, "Can't wait."
As soon as the Macarena played, they ran to the middle and started leading everyone else in the actions. The students were having a blast, and Riku and Tidus joined in as well.
Sora had went over to get some punch (for the sixth time already that night), trying to calm his nerves.
He decided to walk over to see what the others were up to, and they all were walking toward him.
"Man, Sora, you should've been dancing with us, it was so much fun!" Selphie told him.
"Oh…hehe. I'm not that good at dancing."
"Neither are we!" Riku commented, "But we do it anyways!"
"Ok, I'll TRY next time I you guys want me to."
Then, Kairi came over as well, "Hey, Sora, how's the dance for ya?"
Sora saw her in a light blue, long dress with small straps at the top and a long pink ribbon wrapped in her hair.
"Uh, not bad. You look…um…nice tonight."
"Thanks. You do, too."
Tidus asked, "You all wanna take a break? I'm pooped after that last one!"
"Yeah!" Selphie exclaimed, "I'm famished. Snack time!"
Some more songs played, time passed, and Kairi sat on a chair, watching people have fun. Sora leaned on the wall across from her, seeing that she was lonely.
Oh my gosh…perfect timing. But…ah! I can't do it! I can't…
He looked at her again, taking a deep breath.
I can do this…I can!
He stood up, and walked across the room to where she sat.
Just relax…
"Hey, um, Kairi?"
She looked up, quizzically.
"You…wanna dance?"
Kairi had no idea he was going to ask that. Figuring he was just asking a friend, she agreed and stood up.
Sora took her hand, leading her over by everyone else. Ironically, a slow song played as they reached the dance floor.
"Um, I don't know how to slow dance," Kairi admitted, "I never have before."
"Neither have I. Guess we'll both be trying."
They looked at the other couples dancing for guidance.
"Um, ok…" Sora put his hands around her waist, "I think this is right." He blushed.
"Hehe," Kairi put hers around his neck, "Yeah, you are."
Kairi didn't know why she felt so comfortable around Sora all of a sudden. Maybe she was finally getting used to him being around. She was now able to talk openly without getting nervous that much.
Sora tried to keep his cool as they slowly rocked to the beat of the music, Hey, this isn't as hard as I thought.
Kairi then, on a pure instinct, laid her head against Sora, and it made him quite surprised.
They both closed their eyes as they continued to sway to the rhythm.
CUTE CUTE CUTE! Not sure what the next chapter will be about…I'll surprise you all!
