"I'm going ahead." I closed the door and turned around. I just finished my part time job and was on my way home. I grinned and sneakily approached a girl passing by. "Selphie!" I hugged her tight and tickled her. "I haven't seen you for awhile." I let go of her and greeted her properly.

She sighed and closed the book she was reading at the moment. "You seem to be more energetic than ever." She opened her bag and set aside her book. After putting her book, she looked back at me. "What brings you here? Isn't it a bit too late for you to be here?" She asked while the two of us continued to walk.

"Part time."

"I see. I wanted to have one but exams are almost on the corner. I need to study or else I will get thrown out by my mother. But you must have a valid reason to work…." She stopped talking and looked at my doomed and shocked face.

Exams are on the corner? Exams?! EXAMS! When are the exams anyways? Oh my god I absolutely forget about that! I already had poor remarks during our last exams. Boy oh boy, Aqua will disown me for sure.

"You forgot?" She asked me with a smile on her face. "Kairi you never cease to amaze me."

That is a compliment I was never been glad to hear. I smiled slightly and looked at Selphie. She's slightly different from before. She acts so mature. Her stature is even different I wonder what's wrong.

"How are you and Sora?" She suddenly blurted giving me no chance to ask her. I bumped my chest and looked at her proudly. "I already moved on!"

"Moved on? That's not what Namine said."

"Namine? What the hell did she say about me?"

"She said that you are so proud on saying that you already moved on but when she visited you on the café she saw you crying in front of Sora and hogging his attention. She said you were so despicable. She doesn't want to see you anymore."

I felt a stabbed of pain on my chest as I remember those moments perfectly. It's been awhile since I heard her words. I guess I'm not invincible after all. Those words really hurt. BUT AM I THE ONLY OUT OF THEIR CIRCLE? Even Sora has contact with Roxas.

"This is my stop. We need to separate from here." Selphie said and waved goodbye upon the fork on the road. She walked a couple of steps and stopped. She softly mumbled to me the words, "How's Sora?" and dismissed it immediately.

It was definitely weird. What was that question about? Selphie knew Sora far more than me. They were practically playmates since toddlers. They are more close than we are so why asking this? She acted like they don't have communication with one another. Now that I think about it, they never really talked last summer. Selphie was not the person to ignore someone or feel awkward with someone even when she is in a new environment.

"Waaah! This is brain wrecking!" I shouted while I was sitting on chair on the classroom the next day. Something is really weird going here! There must be something wrong. I clutched my head and screamed my hearts out.

"Good morning." Sora put down his bag and casually greeted me.

"Hey!" I said and took Sora's attention. "Is there something going on with you and Selphie?"

His body trembled and his eyes began to wander. He averted his gaze away from me and clearly showed signs of uneasiness. He was hiding something from me! I'm 100% positive about it!

"Sora I've heard that you dated those annoying girls from our class in just one week."

It was three years ago. It's been two months since I transferred out from the school. Sora was playing with girls to let his frustrations and pains out. Selphie was near them and couldn't stand the way Sora acted.

"But I heard that you got a great catch this time, Xion was it?"

Sora leaned back on his chair and putted his arms behind his head. He smug and answered them with a grin on his face. Selphie bit her lip and trembled in anger. She really didn't like what her childhood friend was doing.

"She kinda looked like Kairi when we were younger right? Maybe you should let her suffer. Do things you want Kairi to feel. Get revenge." His idiotic –but influential—friend said.

Selphie stood up and looked at the boys with hatred. She approached them and slammed the table right in front of them. The boys didn't falter and grinned as if they weren't threatened. She then yelled to Sora and said, "What's happening to you? The hell are you doing this things to girls. YOU ARE NOT SOME KIND OF GOD TO TREAT THEM LIKE THIS."

After Selphie shouted, the classroom became quiet and silently anticipated what Sora would say. The two boys, who were at Sora's side and the one he was talking to, stood up and pushed Selphie away. She fought back but her strength was no match compared them. Not to mention it was two against one.

Sora only looked at them with a blank look on his face. He didn't care. The boys did a couple of kick and punch on her and pulled her hair a couple times. Her cries of despair echoed the room but none of them have the strength to help her.

The bullying lasted for minutes. The amount of her scream was loud enough for the other students to hear them. That was when Irvine and Squall rushed in the scenes and helped her. Selphie was deeply hurt. There were no bruises but the amount of pain she took was so great. Sora approached her with a blank face. She slapped him the moment he appeared before her.

"We're not friends anymore. I don't want to talk to you."

"You don't know the pain of your loved one leaving you." He said with hatred on his voice.

Selphie tried to slap him again but she stopped halfway. She held her hand tight and glared at him. "You don't know the pain of being played by someone you loved and knowing that they didn't love you at all."

Sora was lost in words. He knew what he felt was painful but no one never really pointed out that playing with someone's heart was painful. He suddenly felt guilty. Irvine and Squall took her out of the classroom and offered to escort her to the clinic.

Sora bit his lip and as it bled, the drop of blood fell down on his face, he whispered. "I will not do it again. I'm sorry Selphie."

"So that thing really happened when I'm gone?" I raised my phone and talked to it while remembering what Sora told me yesterday.

It was Saturday and it's my day off. I called Selphie and asked her if she was not busy today. I was sitting on a local café in our hometown. Wearing my normal hoodie t-shirt and trusted pants and sneakers, I happily hummed a tune while waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"Kairi!" The two of them shouted as they approached me. I stood up in my seat and greeted them. "You guys are last. Sora! Selphie! Walk a little faster."

The two stopped and looked at each other. They didn't realize each other's presence not until I said it. They looked at each other awkwardly and greeted each other with a fake smile.

You set us up! Sora glared and silently conveyed his message to me. I smiled courteously and turned to Selphie offering her the menu. She declined the offer and sipped the water on the glass that was served to us. She put it down and looked at us with a serious look on her face.

"Be frank to me, are you trying to make us reconcile with each other?" I nodded and gulped. I never saw her this serious before. Booyaka Kairi! Isn't Mr. Laguna dreamy? That's the Selphie I knew and grew up with. Even Sora was scared.

"I'm not angry with him and I'm not against it. But do you really think he wasn't force to be here?" She said and glanced over Sora. He immediately shook his head and hands and said, "If you weren't angry, why should I? My friends were the one who hit you and to top it all off I didn't even helped you. I'm sorry Selphie. I'm sorry for all the things I have done and sorry if I only apologized now."

"No problem." She said, turning back to her normal self. "It was really hard to avoid you, you know that? Squall and Irvine even threatened not to talk to me if I will not reconcile with you. I tried to tell Kairi the other day to give you my message but I was really scared so…."

Ah, that was why she was acting strangely. She was thinking. I never knew thinking could be something that can change ones personality. It's so scary. Well at least this problem is now solved.

Selphie waved goodbye and went on her way after we had an hour of stay in the café. We, on the other hand was on a walk since Sora suggested one.

"Thanks."

"That's what are best friends for. Meddling, meddling in someone else problems!" I said while the both of us laughed. "I never knew you had this kind of past with Selphie. Now I know why she was crying that holiday."

"Holiday?"

"Yup! The day we saw each other near the train." I said that somehow shook him. But isn't it strange? Didn't he say in his story that he was sorry and will not do it anymore. So why did he still have 24 girlfriends if Xion was his fourth girlfriend that time? Could he be lying to me?

"You know…." He paused and caught my attention. "I'm going to take Xion for a date next week."

[A/N]

Am I getting sloppy? Sorry for that. My storyline is getting out of proportion and doing a first person point of view story is starting to work on my nerves. I can't make a scene without Kairi in it. Bah!

I will promise to get it together. My mind is just floating. I'm writing two stories right now and I have one suspended and needed to be continued badly. And as of today, the storyline of this story and the suspended one are still not fixed. It's not because I'm writing multiple storylines but because I haven't decided the next part yet. ^^

Please take care of me. *bows*
