Chapter 2: Awkward moments

*Kairi's POV*

When I woke up, the first thing that popped in my mind was what Olette told me the other day. Namine was here. Namine. My once best friend. Olette made it a huge deal the famous and beautiful Namine Strife was here and was enrolled to go to our school. I played along, acting like I was so shocked and excited, but inside I was dreadful.

After I had moved from Radiant Garden and away from Namine, we had promised to write to each other. But then, I stopped writing to her. I realized that while I was writing to Namine, I didn't want any other friends. I was cold to people who tried to be nice to me, and I people began to see me as weird. I realized that Namine was the past, and that I would never see her again.

So between my best friend and what other people thought of me, I chose the people.

And sure I thought of Namine a lot, but I thought it didn't matter. I told myself I would never see her again.

But now, I know by some twist of fate I would see her. Whether it is in the hallways or a class we both have. Maybe I'll pass by her house without knowing, or I'll see her across the street. No matter where it would be, I knew I would see her.

And of all days, why on my birthday?

My brother came in just as I was about to start crying. "Hey little sis, happy birthday- hey, are you crying." Axel was never one to be too serious, but when it came to someone important to him, he could become downright scary.

I wiped my eyes and turned away. "No."

He sat next to me, "Come on Kai, I'm not stupid. I had to play the parent for how many years now? I think I could tell when my sister is crying." He was right, my mother died when we were kids, and my father was now almost never home. "Tell me what's wrong." He continued.

I couldn't lie to him, "It's about… Namine." Immediately, a smile lit up his face, "Oh yeah! I remember her. Her dad was pretty much interviewed yesterday on the news. I heard that they are going to your school." Then he frowned, "Hey, do you think she forgot about your little, err, letter incident."

"I doubt it. I must've really hurt her." When I wrote that letter, I felt a part of myself die.

"Hey," I started, "It's my birthday, how about you let me stay?" He began roaring with laughter, and then looked at me, and his laughter died down, "Oh, you're serious?" I groaned and pushed him out of my room.

Not only did I dread having to see Namine, but now I would have to put a fake smile for everyone. This day could not get any worse.

*Namine's POV*

When I woke up this morning, I felt really nervous about the new school. I really hoped I made quality friends this time, not the ones who just want a quick way to popularity. I shuddered, wondering who the popular crowd was, and who the leader of that crowd was. I didn't want to steal popularity from anyone. I didn't want any enemies.

Demyx walked in my room and looked at me. "It's your first day of school and you're going in your PJ's?" I looked at myself, realizing that I still wasn't dressed yet. I didn't even have my outfit planned. I couldn't believe Demyx was ready before I was, considering it took him almost an hour to style his hair to 'perfection'.

"Oh my God and school is going to start in an hour." I shrieked. I pushed Demyx out of my room and rushed off to the bathroom.

I looked in my mirror, making sure I was pleased with my appearance. I was wearing white jeans, and blue and crème striped off the shoulder top, and black wedges. I always wore heels because I was short. I had on black hoop earrings and a silver necklace with a wing on it, and a crystal bracelet. I looked through my bags and sunglasses, wondering which ones I should use.

Someone knocked on the door, "Are you decent?" The voice belonged to Demyx. I chuckled, "Yeah, I need help." Squall rushed in with a serious look on his face, he must've thought something happened to me.

"Which ones?"

"Are you kidding?" Squall groaned. But Demyx looked at my accessories and examined my outfit very carefully. "That Marc Jacobs bag and those purple Dior sunglasses." This is why I just loved Demyx. He always had the perfect fashion advice. Even now, he dressed elegantly but still with a simple look. He had on black vans, black jeans, a white T-shirt and a black vest.

Squall groaned again, "Could we just leave?" Grabbing my bag, I happily followed.

*Kairi's POV*

"Happy Birthday!"

"Oh my God, Kairi, you look amazing."

"Happy Birthday sexy."

"You should throw a birthday party."

I smiled at everyone who told me happy birthday. I would feel so happy if they actually remembered, but I figured they found out through Facebook or something.

"Hey there birthday girl." I felt someone cover my eyes with their hands. I smiled widely, already knowing who it was. "Wow, I can't believe you're seventeen. We're now the same age!" My boyfriend Sora grinned happily at me. I turned around and we kissed for several minutes.

"Who cares? We're in March. You'll be turning eighteen in June! Then you'll graduate before me and leave me here in this stupid school." I playfully pouted.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist, "True, but then you'll just have to wait a year and before you know it, you're in college. Then I'll get to see my baby every day." We kissed again, this time more passionate. He opened his mouth a little, allowing my tongue access.

But of course, the moment was ruined when the rest of our gang saw us. I saw my Sora's brothers, Roxas and Vanitas. Sora and Roxas were twins and Vanitas was a year older than them. I also saw their sister Xion, who was also my best friend, as well as my other best friend Olette. I also saw Hayner, Pence, Riku, Axel and his girlfriend, Larxene.

They all wished me happy birthday and when the bell rang, we went our separate ways.

I walked with Xion to my first class. "You look like you're ready for a party." She told me with a mischievous glint in her eyes. I was wearing a sparkly blue tank top with matching flats and black ripped jeans. Axel went all out in choosing my jewelry for me, giving me a double heart onyx and silver studded necklace. He also gave me a black and a crystal bracelet, and then another black bracelet, and teardrop earrings. I had to look perfect for my birthday after all.

I laughed, "You all wouldn't happen to be planning a surprise party for me, would you?" She shook her head, but Xion was a horrible liar. Its okay though, I'll just act surprised.

With all this fun and excitement, I was able to push my earlier thoughts of Namine to the back of my mind. I didn't want this to be a depressing birthday.

*Namine's POV*

You know that awkward moment where all eyes are on you and you want to do something, but you don't want to make a fool of yourself?

Well, this was that moment.

Squall had dropped us off at our school. Of course he had to take the Infiniti G37 convertible, and drop us off right at the front of the school. So as soon as we stepped out, all eyes were on us. I shifted uncomfortably; I hated being the center of attention. I was too shy for this.

Demyx, however, was not.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "The Strife's are here!" He exclaimed loudly, making sure everyone could hear him. It only took a second before everyone came around us, asking for autographs and pictures. I nudged Demyx, "You dumbass! Look what you did!" He chuckled, grabbed my wrist and led me away.

"You have got to be used to that attention by now." I shrugged, "I just don't like it. You know how shy I am." As we were walking, I noticed I was just about to pass by my first class. "Demyx…" Understanding what I was trying to say, he pushed me in my class and walked on.

Of course, now all the eyes were on me. I hate Demyx so much right now.

"And you are?" The teacher, with the most boring voice, asked me without looking up. I took off my shades and shook my hair a little, making everyone gasp. The teacher looked up and immediately stood up, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea we would be having the famous Namine Strife join our class. Please, sit where you like."

I scanned the room, people who had an empty seat next to them straightened up, hoping I would sit next to them. But I wanted to find someone who didn't care that it was me. I mean, there had to be one right? I brightened when I saw 'him'.

I wasn't sure who he was, all I could see was his gravity defying chocolate spikes and his cerulean eyes. He looked at me once and then went back to doing whatever he was doing before. And even better, he sat all the way in the back.

So I sat next to him, he glanced at me smiled. I could he was a really friendly person. Don't ask, I just have this crazy ability to read people.

"Hey Namine" he greeted me, "I'm Sora."

I smiled back, "Nice to meet you Sora. Well, I guess you already know me." I laughed, great now it was awkward. Think of something, think of something!

"Let me see your schedule. I wonder if you have any classes with my friends." I handed my schedule over to him, he was so nice to me. I was so happy, he wanted to be friends for me, not my popularity.

'Let's see, you have gym next. My girlfriend is in that class, she has red hair. Trust me, she's super easy to spot. Then you have Anatomy and Physiology. Let's see, my brother and sister is in that class. Roxas has spiky blonde hair and Xion has short black hair. Also impossible to miss. Oh cool, you have lunch the same time as us. I could formally introduce you to my friend."

"Why are you doing this?" I asked. He looked at me, confused, 'What do you mean?" I shrugged, "Why are you being so nice to me? I mean, introducing me to your friends? No one has ever done that for me before."

"Well, I thought I would introduce you to people who don't want you for popularity. And besides, we pretty much rule this school, so we wouldn't be using you for popularity. And they're really nice. Plus you're new, I was just trying to be nice." He cast his eyes downward, and it made me feel like I just punched a cute little puppy.

"No, I'm not mad at you or anything. I'm really happy you're doing this for me. I'm just not used to some much genuine kindness." As soon as those words came out of my mouth, his entire face lit up.

Ha handed me back my schedule, "My friend Olette is in your History class, I think Xion is there too. For your Spanish class, Roxas and my friend Riku is there. For your art class, Roxas is also there. And for your Trig class, Roxas, Olette, Xion and my girlfriend should be there.

I laughed, "Well what about you? Won't I see you in any other class except this one?" He shook his head, "Sadly, you won't see my sexy face anywhere else except lunch and here. I'm a senior, so I have senior classes and I get out earlier. My brother and Riku decided to be stupid and not take Spanish and their elective class earlier in their high school years."

"So why are you in English 6 instead of English 8?" He looked down, his face becoming pink. "Sora?"

"Ifaengsh" It all came out as a rush of words. I blinked, "huh?" He cleared his throat and his entire face became red. "I failed English last year. So now I have to take two English classes." If possible his entire face just became as red as a tomato.

I was biting lip, trying to hold back my laughter, but as soon as the bell rang, I just couldn't hold it anymore. I was roaring, and I knew people were staring at me, but no one dared to laugh at me.

"You failed English? Who fails English?" I said between laughter.

He narrowed his eyes, "Looks like you can walk by yourself to your next class."

My laughter died down, and by his frown, he was not kidding. I ran up to him, "No please? I'm new! You can't leave me here to dry. I'll get lost!" He smiled at me, ruffling my hair, which I immediately fixed. Namine Strife always had to look perfect; it was just a part of the job description.

"I was going to walk you to your next class anyway. I'm only messing with you, kid." I smiled as we began walking. Other than Kairi, this was the first time I had made a true friend. I knew nothing could bring me down for the rest of the day.

At least, that's what I thought.

As soon as we reached the gym, I waved goodbye to Sora and thanked him. With a huge smile, I entered the gym. He said his girlfriend had red hair and was impossible to miss. And he was right, she was impossible to miss. But oh my God, I never imagined it would've been 'her'.

The one who broke my heart with a single letter.

"Kairi?"

*Kairi's POV*

"Kairi?"

I heard someone call my name and smiled. It must've been someone else making sure to wish me a happy birthday. I mean, this is the only way they thought they could actually talk to me. After all, I was Kairi Valentine, the most popular girl in this girl.

I turned around and was not prepared for this surprising yet inevitable reunion. It was funny, even though I knew it was coming I still wasn't ready.

"Namine?"

;O;O:o:o:o:o:o:o:O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;OI;O;O;O;O;O;;O;OO;;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O;O
