What will Kairi think of Sora when they finally confront after the "incident"?

Is Love Joy or Sorrow?

CHAP. 16 Regrets

Sora stood at the flagpole after school, waiting for Kairi.

I wonder what's taking her. We agreed that we would meet here…I'm really confused.

After a while passed by, Sora finally gave up and decided to find out why she didn't come. So, he walked in the direction of her house.

Kairi just lay on her bed, her head buried in her pink, frilly pillow.

Why would he lie to me about that? They aren't just friends. Why else would he hug her that way if he didn't really care and maybe…maybe even like her?

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on the front door.

It was opened by her mom.

"Kairi, honey! It's for you, come down here!"

She sighed and whispered under her breath, "If it's Sora, oh boy is he gonna-"

"Hi, Kairi!"

I spoke too soon.

"Don't you 'Hi, Kairi!' me, Sora!"

"Whoa whoa, Kai, what's up with you?" Sora seemed quite alarmed by her tone of voice.

"You should know."

"Kairi, I just came over to see why you didn't show up after school…And, you act like THIS?"

"Sora, stop pretending you don't know what I'm talking about!"

"Well, I don't! So stop yelling at me!"

Kairi shivered. She hated arguing like this. She and Sora had never fought before.

"I…" she started to cry, "I'm just scared."

"Kairi…it's okay," he stepped closer so he could hug her, but was taken aback when she stepped away.

"Kairi?" his eyes were now starting to glisten with tears, "Why won't…I'm just trying to…"

"Sora…..I'm scared that, even though you say I'm the only one…that I'm not."

"But-"

"Just leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

The look on Sora's face made it seem like someone had just stabbed him in the heart.

He asked, "Kai…you don't mean?"

The sorrow in his voice was too much for Kairi to bear, but she continued:

"We're through…Sora."

She closed the door, and Sora's cheeks were soon stained with tears. He dropped to his knees, and his hands covered his face.

What did I do to make her so…so angry? I can't believe it. She really meant it…she broke up with me and I didn't even…I didn't…

Moisture fell from Sora's eyes and stained his jeans. He was crying so much he was shaking, and his choking sobs grew louder every second.

"Kairi…Why?...I…I love you…" His words were muffled through whimpering cries.

Kairi noticed him outside her window, but soon pulled the curtains so they would close again, trying to ignore him. She sat against one of the walls in her room, and started to cry, too.

As Kairi got to her locker, she fumbled trying to put in the combination.

She slammed her fist on the metal, "Stupid lock!"

"Kairi!" Selphie had been there most of the time, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing!"

She finally opened the door, quickly grabbed what she needed, and slammed it shut.

Selphie stared wide-eyed after her as she stormed away.

"What's her deal?"

On the other side of the hall, Sora was in a similar mood. Riku and Tidus tried to talk to him, but he never answered.

"C'mon, dude, what's up with you?" Tidus questioned.

Riku agreed, "Yeah, you aren't yourself today."

Sora stopped what he was doing and didn't move, "Just…go away, you guys."

"Hi, Sora!"

"WHAT!"

He turned to see Namine' looking up at him, mouth agape and eyes glossy. Her head was now faced down.

"Oh…Namine', I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay. I just didn't expect that. Are…Are you-"

"No…No, I'm not okay," he walked away.

Sora sat toward the middle of the classroom, ready for the most boring class ever…when Kairi entered, coming over.

"You're in MY seat," she told him.

"How is it your seat, huh!" he snapped back.

"I always sit in it!"

"Not today you aren't!"

Kairi let out a breath of frustration and went to another seat, "Hmph!"

The rest of the students who had observed were pretty sure this is the LAST thing they'd expect to see. Sora and Kairi fighting? Not possible.

At the end of the day, Namine' noticed that Kairi was acting funny as well. She decided to walk over and ask:

"Kairi, are…are you okay?"

"NO! And it's all your fault!"

Namine' was really confused now, "Me?...Why me?"

"Oh, don't go all innocent on me. I think you know."

"Know what?"

Kairi just turned around to walk in the other direction, and was soon outside.

Namine' caught up with her, "Kairi I just-" She ran faster, "I just wanna know-"

"Hey, Namine'!" a voice shouted.

She turned to a boy with blonde hair, who was waving at her.

"Roxas!" she ran over to him.

Kairi slowly glanced over, "Wh…What?"

She decided to see what was going on and went over there as well.

"This is why I hate that he's home schooled," Namine' explained to her, "I never get to see him much."

"But, who…is he?"

A hand was now shaking hers, "I'm Roxas. Namine' is my girlfriend."

Girlfriend!

Oh boy, now what? I hope you all review lots for this one! I really want to know if it was a good one or not. Thx!
