Chapter 3:: Just Another Day...
---------o----
Another day, another morning sitting next to Riku in first hour science. The brunette quickly took his seat as he walked through the door the second the bell rang. He heard a soft snicker to his side. Riku. Glaring ahead at the teacher, he ignored the gesture and took out his notebook so he could take notes. Scribbling away furiously, Mrs. Lockhart began calling up students to write their answers on the board. Great, Sora thought, another chance to embarrass myself.
"Sora, can you please do this next one?"
Sora froze in his seat. His pencil slowly dropped onto his paper as he scooted out of his seat and strolled up to the front. Grabbing a green marker from the small basket hanging from the bottom of the board, Sora pulled on the cap, struggling to get it off. Clenching his teeth, he pulled harder and finally it snapped off. His elbows flew to his sides and let out a nervous giggle.
"Ahem, are we ready, Sora?" She pestered him as he ate away her class time. Sighing softly he pressed the marker up against the board and it slowly squeaked away as he wrote down the first 5 elements that came to mind.
"Lithium, or LI, umm, Gold, or AU, Silver, or AG, Neon, or NE, and Helium, or H!" he mumbled as he wrote down each and every letter.
"Good, You can return to your seat, Riku your next... List.." Sora turned to his table and bee lined to his seat to avoid anymore embarrassment. But it was too late. On his way to his seat he bumped into the one and only Riku who was headed up to the board. Lucky for Sora, he still had the green marker in hand and it made a long straight line down his white shirt. The tall silver haired teen only smirked and asked politely for his marker. Quickly jamming the cap on the green thing, he shoved it in the tall ones hand and rapidly returned to his seat.
He began to mumble to himself softly, "Look at his stupid hair, falling past his shoulders like he's a super model, swaying back in forth as he turns his head to write on the white board... its disgusting, and that stupid streak on his shirt just matches his emerald eyes... but his eyes... they are so..."
"Sora? The bell rang you know...Sora?" The brunette felt a soft nudge on his shoulder and he quickly stood up.
"Yeah, I knew that... I was just... just.. absorbing the lesson.."
"It was review..." Namine laughed and then added on..."Well we will see you at lunch, have fun in Gym.."
"Like that will happen, see ya." He waved farewell to the new couple and headed to what he would call hell. It seemed like it was heaven sent... when he walked up to the locker room door it stated and large bold print.
Mr. Lionheart's Gym Class Will Be In The Libray Today.
Saved. A few more hours had passed and he was finally at lunch... The brunette sat down in his usual spot and waited for his friends to come piling in. Pulling out a brown sack he plopped it on the table and took out a rather disgusting looking apple. Setting it down he sighed and poked at the mushy sides waiting for someone to finally sit down.
"Hello, Sora..." a smooth, cool voice called. Looking up from his entertaining apple his eyes all of a sudden looked like a deer in the headlights. A tall silver haired teen was sitting right across the table from him.
"Hope you don't mind me dropping in.." he smirked.
"That... that seat is taken.." Sora shot back. Pushing a small spike away from his eye he glared into the emerald hues trying to make him go away.
"Sora, I'm sure your friends won't mind much... Besides, I'm sure one more person can fit at this table..."
"Hey Sora... and Rik..ku? Glad you could join us?" Demyx mumbled as he took a seat besides his flustered spiky haired friend.
"He won't be joining us... he was just leaving.." his eyes glued on the silver strands.
"Its all good, I can stay a while longer..." Riku said as he placed an identical brown sack on the table in front of him with a large smirk.
The table was now filling up with many unfamiliar faces... must have been Naminé's friends. Gossip filled the air as everyone intently listened and munched away at chips, and slurped down whatever drink that pleased them. Sora had had enough and he excused himself to the lunch line to get himself something, a treat. Pulling open one of the small fridges he looked through the assortment of drinks. He then eyed a Red Bull and picked it up with a big smile on his face. Just what he needed to rid himself of his Riku issues.
"That will be $3.50..." the lunch lady said. Inflation. Sora emptied out his pockets and paid out his dues and returned to the table. Demyx welcomed him back and eyed him carefully.
"Sora, you know what happened last time you had one of those... right?"
"Sora! Get down from there you're going to get hurt!" a blonde haired boy yelled who appeared to have a mullet of some sort.
"NEVER!!!!" The crazed brunette said as he climbed higher into the winding tree. The wind picked up and started to gently rock the tree back and forth. Sora, who was now about 24 feet above the ground looked down and laughed hysterically.
"What are you doing!!" Demyx yelled from below.
"I'm going to fly!!! Red Bull give you wings!!"
"SORA NO!!!" But it was too late. The crazed child had his arms spread out and he leaped out of the branches and waved his arms frantically above the air.
"LOOK I'M FLYING..." Thud. Sora had face planted into the ground. Demyx ran inside his house and called 911. Sora had landed himself in the ER with a concussion and a broken nose.
"Look Demyx, there aren't any trees in the lunch room..." Sora smirked as he cracked open the small blue can.
"Oooh! I remember that hospital visit. I don't think I had ever laughed any harder!" Kairi piped in. Riku eyed the group curiously as he munched on a juicy peach waiting to see what this energy drink could do to such a stubborn boy. Sora quickly downed the Red bull and slammed it on the table with a loud refreshing " Ahhhh..."
"So, Is Sora sober?" Demyx laughed. Sora smirked as a wild laughter escaped his lips.
"I would take that as a No..." Naminé giggled.

The silver haired teen watched Sora's lunch time action unravel as he chewed slowly at his lunch staying rather quiet and to himself. Occasionally one of the brunettes friends would eye him, or add some small talk, But nothing seemed to fathom Riku. As the brunette got up to go to the lunch line he wondered if he was going to come back. Soon enough, the stubborn boy returned to his seat with a blue can in his hands. All his friends went crazy as he took his first sip and warned him not to do so. Soon enough he understood why.
"RIKKUU!!" the boy bursting with energy squealed as he ran around the table and pounced in his direction pushing him off of his seat and onto the ground.
"Sora what in the world are you doing!!!" Kairi yelled as she held back much laughter.
The silver haired teen was shocked and let out a soft murmured sentence. "Does he... always.. do this?"
"Sora I think you should get of..."
"RAAWWWRRR!" Sora roared at his friends. "Kitty likeess Riku.." the crazed brunette said as he let out a soft purr and his spongy pink tongue slobbered up the smooth face of the tall emerald green hued boy.
"OH... my GOD!" Naminé shrieked.
Riku didn't know what just happened.
Soon enough the bell rang and all eyes were on the two laying on the floor. Everyone laughing as they threw away there half eaten lunches and walked through the double doors. The brunette whined softly as he got off and walked to his next class.

The rest of Sora's day was a blur once again, not because of dodge ball at least. He felt like the biggest idiot that had ever walked on this Island. Every person that had passed him snickered softly or just simply said "Rawr". He was sick of it. Officially, he decided he would never touch an energy drink again. Once on the bus he sat down quickly in the front to avoid the eyes of his fellow peers. When his red headed friend entered the bus she sat down next to him and sighed softly.
"Your performance at lunch was hysterical Sora..."
"Kairi please, I don't need to be reminded..." Looking out the window he sighed.
"How could I let myself do that... I hardly even know him, or then again like him."
"Well... 'Kitty Sora' sure did..." Kairi said with a small smile. "Come on Sora, lighten up what's the worst that can happen?" she said with a small nudge on his shoulder.
"I don't even want to know..." he did have to admit that it probably wasn't as bad as the tree. Who knows maybe everybody would forget the next day.
"Hey there Sorraa, want some more Riku today?"
"Rawwrr"
Sora was sick and tired of this by now.
It wasn't even first hour yet. Great... first hour he got to visit his best friend. He walked to class early to escape the constant pestering in the hallways, and quickly took his seat with his head down on the desk.
He heard the chair next to him move and he could smell the sent of Riku lingering all around his table. Soon enough the bell for class rang and Mrs. Lockheart was now standing at the brunettes desk, Sora unaware, with a ruler in hand tapping her foot impatiently.
"Mr. Sora, I thought I told you yesterday no heads down on the desk!! Detention after school!" Sora's head shot up and he sighed softly. Could this get any worse? he thought.
"Mrs. Lockheart, I do believe you didn't start class yet, so Sora here has every right to have his head down on your desk..." a voice from besides the brunette spoke.
"Riku... I do believe... that when I walk through this door class has begun!! Detention for both of you!" She yelled as her black hair flew behind her and she furiously wrote on the white board. Perfect. A whole two and a half hours with Riku alone after school.
