Chapter 3: My Customer

(Kairi's POV)

I can almost declare this day to be very strange. Girls staring at me like their itching to strangle me on the spot. Roxas has been quiet and haven't said anything to me since first period. The worst thing is the darn sea porcupine keeps on looking at me giving the chilly smile of his. Ugh, can't this day get any worst; I've been here for a month already but then still no changes. Still can't find Naminé and that sea porcupine keeps on bugging me.

It was lunch time; Roxas and I were heading to the cafeteria.

"Hey Rox is something wrong?" I always use that nickname when I'm serious talking to him.

Out of nowhere he just dragged me off to another place, a secluded place with no person in sight.

"Okay, first off what's the thing between you and Sora?" Roxas asked.

"Who?" I asked oblivious to the mentioned named, not that I cared who the person was anyway.

"You know the one you were supposed to punch last time…" Roxas said worried which meant trouble was up.

"Are you referring to that sea porcupine, what about him?" I asked wondering what he was aiming at me.

Roxas raised an eyebrow and touched his spikes.

"Oops my bad buddy." I said grinning. I almost forgot that Roxas' hair was also spiked.

"You mean you haven't heard yet. Girls are totally gossiping about it and other students are poking their noses in to it." Roxas said.

"Roxas I'm not a gossiper and you know that; even though I'm female now." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Okay, okay, it was going around that Sora has a thing with the new girl. The rumors even say that she's his new girl." Roxas said holding his pointing finger up.

I kept on replaying what he just said and then it hit me.

"By new girl do you mean… Me…" I said eyes widening.

Roxas nodded and this putted me in agitation.

"I am no one's girl, definitely not!!!" I said. "I'm a male for Lurline's sake." Roxas covered my mouth.

"Not so loud people will hear. Remember that you and I are the only ones who know it." Roxas reminded me.

I swap his hand off and did a deep breathing.

"And well that's what everyone was noticing by the way, these past few days." Roxas said. "They say Sora keeps on looking at you that it was becoming obvious." He said.

"That punk is brewing trouble for me. So what do I care, it's just rumors…" I said panicking. No wonder the girls were giving me the death glares.

"And another thing is that everyone here thinks Sora's going to steal you from me." Roxas said. "Which is totally not true I mean, hello I'm straight." He said in frustration. Typical Roxas he'll definitely turn something serious into a joke whenever he can.

"So everyone also thinks we're an item." I said; could this get any worse.

"Well I'm not going to wonder since we've been sticking together, ever since your first day here." Roxas said. "The thing I can't believe is that this kind of rumors spread like wild fire in a matter of days." He said.

"What do I care about the guy anyway? I barely know him." I said; but then I thought, there was no way I'm going to let something like this go on.

I had to talk to him even if the mere thought resents me. But then how, I figured it's not going to be that easy, there's no way I couldn't talk to him without anyone noticing. If were seen talking to each other, it'll rise another rumor and that is the last thing I wanted.

I had a lot of classes with him but then I seat as far from him as possible. At the end of the day I ended up with nothing. There's no way to talk to him without anyone noticing. He seems to be the center of attention at this school. So I gave up and decided that the rumors will die soon, I hope and pray they do.

Working at the café has kept me busy and tired. Well working hours and I still have to study. Roxas insist that he help me but I couldn't ask for too much. The thing I resent about it here is that I have to wear this sissy maid outfit not to mention it's pink. I'm beginning to grow a deep hatred to the color pink.

I was busy to notice a new customer coming in. I delivered the order slip at the counter and headed for the new comer.

"Welcome sir may I take your order." There was something about the new comer that was so familiar.

The customer then put down the menu and smiled at me, showing his immaculate white teeth.

'Oh gods can this get any worse.' I blinked my eyes to get myself to focus.

"So you work here." Sora said his smiling ever widening.

"Orders sir…" I said calmly.

"Well let me see?" Sora said but then he wasn't really paying attention to the menu as I see that his eyes keep on shifting from the menu to me.

I definitely cannot have this.

"Umm, if you've made up your mind I'll be just at the other table." I said and was about to leave when.

"Wait I've got it. Umm… A cappuccino and a black forest slice." He said as if he decided at the spur of the moment.

I jotted it down and said; "Anything else sir." Eventually I have to be polite or else I'm screwed I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid that'll get me fired.

"Nope that will be all." Sora said handing over the menu to me.

I took it and walked away keeping my head align. Its okay he's just here for a snack to eat I told myself. I delivered the order to the counter and went to busy myself with the other customers. But then I was curious so I secretly keep on glancing at Sora's table and I would find him watching me, smiling. It brought the chills down my spine.

I heard the chef ring the bell so I went to the counter and lifted the tray and went to deliver it at Sora's table. He was still staring at me as I laid the tray on his table.

"Is there anything else you want sir?" I asked smiling.

"Nope, that will be all thank you. But I'd appreciate it if you give me your number." Sora said flashing me a handsome smile.

My eye twitch at the memory of how I used to do that and girls would sigh in a daze. But heck I was a guy, well I used to be and his charm isn't going to get to me.

"That would definitely be impossible enjoy." I said and left him.

(Sora's POV)

I don't know the reason why I'm sitting here at the café, drinking a cappuccino and eating a slice of cake. I'm not a coffee drinker but then when I saw Kairi at the other side of the glass in a pink maid outfit and serving customers; I just had the urge to enter.

I don't know why I'm damn interested in the red head girl. She doesn't show any interest in boys, she doesn't talk to any of them, well except for Roxas and his male friends.

Now that I thought about it, my mind began to drift between Kairi and Roxas. What's the relation of the two? Are they an item or something like what the girls say?

And what's up with her, I just asked for her number. Girls would eventually kill each other just to have my number but in her case she declined. I usually heard about this kind of tactic; what was it? Playing hard to get; if she's doing that to get my attention then heck I would say she got it.

I wonder until what time is her shift. Oh well I'll just wait, this is my chance to talk to her. I mean she has been avoiding since the punching Roxas accident, I tried so hard not to laugh out loud at the memory.

Kairi Valentine… She has definitely got my attention; I just got to get to know her. Heck I don't care if her so called boyfriend Roxas is going to get angry at me.

(Kairi's POV)

Finally my shift has ended. Time me to get home. I packed my things and said goodbye to the others and left. I walked down the street it was late at night and I am so tired to my bones. When I get home I'm going straight to bed, it's a good thing it was a Friday, and I can sleep the entire day tomorrow.

As I was walking I heard footsteps behind me. I started to get nervous, I've heard in the news that robbery was quite high these days. I murmured some curses and started to fasten my pace. But then I could still hear it.

I could hear my heart racing. I just hope it's just another person who's by coincidence heading my way. That was what I thought until somebody grabbed me from the arm.

"Let go!!!" I said struggling.

My mind was in chaos, my sight hazy from exhaustion. But still I had enough power for a punch. I smacked my fist into the guy's face and he fell with a loud thud.

I looked at the person and recognized the brown spikes. It was that sea porcupine. Ugh, doesn't he have better things to do than scare me to death. He was unconscious.

"Humph! Serves you right." I said and was about to leave him.

But then I stopped at my tracks and looked back. He was there unconscious in the darkened street. Anything could happen to him and it was my fault for going hysterically like that. Gods I hate my conscience.

I went back and carried him on my back which I'm having difficulty because of two bags I had to shoulder. It was a good thing the apartment was insight already. I marched on with a monkey on back. I don't even know what to do with him, I better call Roxas.
