Is Love Joy or Sorrow?
Chap. 9 Date?
The school bell rang, and all of the students ran outside, screaming excitedly.
"Finally! Christmas vacation!" Tidus yelled as he went to his car, "Say, Riku, you wanna hang out today?"
"Um…sorry. I have something else I'm doing."
"During break? What could you possibly have to do?"
"I can't say."
"Why the heck not?"
"Let's just say there's someone I already have plans with."
Sora couldn't help but laugh, "So, is it…a girl? Hmmm?"
"What! No…I mean-"
"Spill the beans, Riku! C'mon!"
Tidus assured him, "We won't tell anyone else. We promise."
Riku hesitated for a moment, "Well…okay…It's-"
"Yeah?" Sora was curious.
"It's a girl. You guys were right," he sighed, "I met her at the party."
"Well, well, well…Riku, the 'big, tough guy' who wants to be a loner has a gal, huh?" Tidus remarked, "Sorry man…I had to say that."
"It's alright."
"So, where you taking her?" Sora wondered.
"We're just going to go out to a movie. The typical first date thing."
"Speaking of first date," Tidus thought, "…Why haven't you asked Kairi on one yet, Sora?"
"What? Tidus!" Sora hated that he had brought it up.
"He has a point, though," Riku agreed, "I mean…it's obvious she likes you as well."
"How?"
"The party…remember.?"
"But….but-"
Tidus saw the girls heading their way, "Hey, now's your chance, dude!"
"Hey guys!" Selphie greeted, "What you all up to today?"
"Riku's got a date," said Tidus.
"Oh, really?" she smirked.
"Tidus, you told someone! You promised!" Riku was upset.
"I know…But, she's my girlfriend!"
"Yeah. But she gossips!"
"HEY!" Selphe was now mad.
"It's kinda true, Selph," Kairi admitted.
"Oh…Riku I won't say anything, ok?"
"Better not." Riku crossed his arms, "I'm gonna be late," he walked to his car and drove off.
"Well, me and Selphie are going to go to my place to chill."
She glanced at Tidus, "We are?" and soon was bumped by Tidus' elbow, "I mean…we are!" her and Tidus walked to his car.
"Oh…ok," Kairi was about to head home when-
"Kairi, wait!" Sora exclaimed.
She turned around, "Yeah?"
"Um…do you wanna….I mean…maybe….." Man this is tough…"Are you free anytime during break?"
"Free…you mean like not doing anything?"
"Uh…yeah."
"You know what-" she just thought of something, "My parents won't be back from their trip until Christmas day."
"Then…how's Christmas Eve?"
"Hey, Sora?"
"What?"
"Are you…asking me out?"
"What! I mean…uh…..yes," he barely squeaked the last word out. (LOL)
Kairi smiled, "Ok, then. It's a date."
YAY! Now it's gettin' good! Stay tuned for their date in the next chapter!
