For the next month or so, Namine ignored me completely. She sat alone at lunch and never talked to me I class. I was almost...Worried about her. But, what could I do? Was it just me, or did she have a problem with everyone? I was confused, and frustrated. I wanted an excuse to talk to her, but then again, What the hell could I possibly say to her to make things better? She must have been going through hell lately. People pointed at her and insulted her. She ran to almost every class, she was also failing. I wanted so badly to help her, but obviously she didn't need my help. Over time, I'd eventually forgotten about her completely. She was just another student at this school, no one special.
As I was walking down the hall, Kairi came running at me with something in her hand. She practically threw it at me. I held it in my hand for a couple seconds.
" What is it?" I asked suspiciously.
"An invite, to a sleepover." She said bouncing up and down. I raised my eyebrows. Kairi punched me playfully on the shoulder.
"Not for you! For Namine!" She said. Wow, It had been about three weeks since I had heard that name.
I nodded and agreed to give it to her in our next class. For so long I had wanted an excuse to talk to her, but now that I had one, I realized I didn't really want to talk to her. I was upset all of a sudden that I had to be the one to give it to her.
Namine was already sitting down when I came in the room. She was staring out the window, she barely looked awake. I took my seat and tapped her on the shoulder. I felt her jump, returning to reality.
I kept tapping her until finally she sighed and turned around. The expression on her face quickly turned from irritation to surprise. She looked into my eyes but I looked away. I handed her the envelope .
"Kairi said to give you this," I told her. My voice had a dull, flat tone to it. The way she looked at me was kind of...Sad. She looked at the invite for a couple of seconds. Then she whispered my name, I looked up.
She didn't say anything so I once again looked down. I could feel her staring at me for the next minute or so, but I didn't look up at her. Finally she turned around. I heard her open the envelope.
The bell rand and Namine ran out the door. I did the same. I looked out the doorway and saw Riku holding Namines hand And then...He kissed it. What the hell was he thinking?! I walked up behind her and snorted at Riku. Trying my best not to cause a scene. I wanted to beat the living hell out of him, he had crossed the line. Namine turned around really quickly. I think I made some kind of sound. I wasn't sure. Namine looked past me to see Selphie nearly in tears and I almost laughed at how stupid Namine was.
I went to walk away and Namine stopped me in my tracks.
"How much did Selphie see?" She asked in a frantic whisper. Once again, I almost laughed.
"Long Enough!" I shouted, louder than intended. I wasn't exactly mad at Namine, I was pissed as hell at Riku though.
" You have no right to be mad at me. I didn't do anything, so you can't think of me badly," She said, she looked so helpless right then. I felt sort of bad for her , She was having such a hard time with everything.
"I don't think of you badly," I said, calming down a little bit. I was trying to cool it, for her sake. She still looked at me with the same pleading gaze.
"Then what kind of look was that, I mean it's not like I knew that Selphie was here," She yelled. So she would have felt better about this if Selphie wasn't here? I wondered if she knew what she was saying. I rolled my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. I started laughing, and Im not entirely sure why.
"Your really clueless." I said looking into her eyes. I walked away, leaving her there.
As I walked alone and angry to gym class I began to wonder If I was too harsh on Namine. I mean, It wasn't her fault that Riku kissed her hand. But the way she worded it "Its not like I knew Selphie was there"
I don't see how it would have made any difference, Selphie would have figured it out pretty soon anyway. Seriously, EVERYONE saw it! I couldn't help but be mad or jealous at Riku. Was he begging for a punch in the face? Usually, Im not a violent person but for some reason I...Felt, well, protective over Namine. And I couldn't help it. Although, I should know by now that I couldn't possibly win her over. Hmm, at least not with Riku around.
As I walked into the gym I laughed at how ridiculous I sounded. Whether Riku was here or not, Namine could never fall for me.
I walked into the boy's dressing room and changed pretty quickly, even though Sora tried to talk to me.
He must've known I was upset, he is good at that. But I walked right past him I passed Namine and Kairi who were talking about something stupid.
The gym teacher screamed at us, Informing us about an upcoming blitzball game that I, being on the team, already knew about. I drifted off into what felt like sleep. I wasn't listening to the gym teacher or even thinking at all. I was just...Blank.
My eyes flew open when I heard my name being screamed. "Roxas!Here!" The gym teacher yelled, shoving a ticket (More like a pass, to prove I was on the team) Into my hand.
After ten minutes of staring at the paper in my hand a hand slapped my back. I blinked, confused, and looked up.
"Good luck." Sora said. "And I'm not talking about the game." He added nodding torward Namine, and winking. I forced a smile, and then the bell rang.
Hah! Luck? Yeah, I'll need more than that to get on her good side!
