Best Friends Or Nothing
LYRICS BY CASSIE VENTURA:;
Weve been through this a thousand times
And ive never been
more sure then i am right now
Cassie ugh shhh
Please

Its just about that time
I guess its
about time that im finnaly moving on
I dont really care if its
right or wrong
And in spite of the way i love your touch
You
know its gon be better for both of us
It hurts like hell but i
got to try
You already know the reason why
So no matter
whos right or wrong
I think its finnaly time that im moving on
Ohh i cant stop the way I love you
Ive got to let
this go
Although weve tried
Doesnt really matter no more
And i dont know what i stay here for
Especially when i
know i gotta make a move
I guess its about time that im
finnaly moving on
I dont really care if its right or wrong
And in spite of the way i love your touch
You know its gon
be better for both of us
It hurts like hell but i got to try
You already know the reason why
So no matter whos right or
wrong
I think its finnaly time that im moving on
Dont
tell me i should stay Its too late now
To think we can make
this work somehow
You should know the truth Its over
Over
and done
Ohh and i cant believe
All of this time youve had
me thinking
Thinking you would call me late night
Knowing
damn well you wouldnt do it
Telling me i was still on your
mind
I dont know why you had to put me through it
And im
thinking im still livin for your love
It was all over and you
knew it
Although its gonna be hard to let this go
Boy this
is something i gotta do
I guess its about time that im
finnaly moving on
I dont really care if its right or wrong
And in spite of the way i love your touch
You know its gon
be better for both of us
It hurts like hell but i got to try
You already know the reason why
So no matter whos right or
wrong
I think its finnaly time that im moving on
Gave
you all of my heart
All of my body
All of my soul
All
of my precious time
And you know its so hard loving somebody
I loved you so good baby you cant deny
You know this time
that respect goes away
Let it fade away
And the only way
to heal is to give me time and space
I guess its about
time that im finnaly moving on
I dont really care if its right
or wrong
And in spite of the way i love your touch
You
know its gon be better for both of us
It hurts like hell but i
got to try
You already know the reason why
So no matter
whos right or wrong
I think its finnaly time that im moving on
The song repeated over and over in Kairi's I-Pod as she walked home on that hot day. She was glad Mr. Owen let all the kids five minutes earlier, so she got to her locker, put her books away, and headed out the door before anyone else did. Anyone else, meaning Sora. She didn't want to deal with him pestering her about the getaway at the cafeteria. She even tried not looking at him during math class, but he had to do some student council thing and she didn't see him in her other classes. Now, she headed towards her house hoping that her mother was home making cheesecake. She loved cheesecake (too bad she couldn't make it herself). The song finally switched over to some song that you've probably never heard of and she was about to sigh, when there was a tap on her shoulder. Yuna.
"Ahh! What are you doing, trying to scare me, Yunie?" Kairi asked.
"Sorry, Leon told me you were crying for no reason, whats wrong?" Yuna apologized. "Its nothing, I was just overreacting over something so stupid. I'm so sensative..." Kairi sighed, she wondered if Yuna was the right person to talk to about these things. "I really want you to come to the amusement park with me and Tidus and Sora...I don't think It'll be fun with Renee. She is a cheerleader, and she might just be mean. Please come, Kairi!" Yuna begged. "I dunno. I'm not in the mood. Besides, you know rollercoasters scare me to DEATH." Kairi explained. "You're overreacting, just come. I promise Tidus won't pick on you, tehe." Yuna flashed her smile, hoping that Kairi would give in. "Sorry, but I have to think about it, and by the time I do-It'll probably be too late." Kairi said. "Oh, come on KaiKai? Listen, I have to catch up with a friend near my neighborhood but I'll be sure to call or something. Oh yeah-I hope that whatever the reason why you cried at lunch didn't have anything to do with Renee." Yuna waved goodbye and ran up the hill before Kairi could protest about anything. 'Is it that obvious to everyone?' she mumbled to herself. If Yuna knew that her feelings were hurt because of-jealousy? Did that mean that Sora knew too? Stupid Leon had to tell everyone!
Kairi made it home and put her bag over by the staircase as she plopped over by the couch. Her mother wasn't even home, and it made Kairi feel alone and abandoned. School drama sucked, and so did Renee. Kairi decided to just relax a bit, until a knock came on the door. She lazily got up and came to her white door and opened it. There stood, practically as a lifesaver-Leon, her big cousin. "How ya feeling, Kid?" He asked, with a concerned look on his face. "Fine. What do you want?" Kairi asked.
"Is my favorite aunt home?" her cousin asked. "Apparently, not." Kairi replied. "Good, because I think for your own good I have to take you somewhere you're probably going to regret and not regret." Leon stated. "Really? Then I don't wanna go. Its Thursday, what can I possibly want to regret and not regret?" Kairi sarcastically asked. "Come on, get in the truck...hmm you might want to fix your hair and change first, though." Leon said. Kairi seemed confused at first, but didn't hesitate to obey her elder. She came back looking fresh and clean, "So where are you taking me?"
"You'll see." Leon grinned.
Sora, Tidus, and Yuna stood waiting by the ticket booth for either Renee or Kairi to show up. Sora was regretting not catching up with Kairi earlier at school to ask if she was okay with the whole Renee-situation. To be honest, he realized that maybe Kairi was a tad bit jealous of the cheerleader. Soon enough, he saw Renee, and she was all dolled up as she approached the trio. "Hi, Renee." he said.
"Hey, Sora! Oh, I remember you guys...Yuna and Tidus, right?" Renee asked.
"Yeah, nice seeing you." Tidus added in. "Yes, thats our names. You think we should wait for Kairi? Leon said he was gonna-" "NO! I mean...er...shes probably not gonna come anyway, right Sora?" Renee interrupted Yuna. Obviously, she didn't want Kairi to be there at the amusement park. Yuna glared at Sora, half suspiscious. "Um, maybe she should show up now." Sora shrugged.
"There's Leon's truck! I see her!" Tidus exclaimed, pointing to Leon's car. Renee rolled her eyes, a bit disappointed.
Kairi sat holding her hands together in rage. Leon had went totally against her will. Out of all places, he took her here? The amusement park! "I'm not going, Leon." Kairi growled. "Why not? Look, Sora and them already spotted you-so you can't just make me drive you home." Leon said. He had a point. "I hate you! You don't know how stupid you are, Squall!" Kairi used his first name, and she had never ever used his name like that unless she was angered in pure hatred. "I don't expect you to forgive me, but Tidus just pointed to us, so get out." Leon sighed. Kairi gave her older cousin one last look before opening the car door. She slammed it shut with a guilty feeling sinking in. Maybe Leon was trying to do something nice... "KAIRI!" She heard Yuna's call from behind. She turned around and forced a simple smile that made Sora's heart melt. The three others ran towards the girl, and Leon drove off.
"I didn't think you'd come." Yuna added with a smirk. "Whatever, Yuna! I'm here, and I'm ready to ride some rides." Kairi grinned. She noticed Renee clinging to Sora, and in disgust she pointed out to the outsider, "Oh so you're here, Renee."
"Yeah, we all know how you hate rollercoasters, so I decided to tag along to be Sora's buddy for a bit. Right, Sora?" Renee glared at the redhead. Now Sora had to take sides, and he didn't want to get in between Renee and Kairi's fight. "Um, right." He guiltily replied. Kairi gave him a hurt look.
"Hey, lets go ride that scary haunted ride, guys!" Tidus suggested. "Definetely!" Sora cheered.
"Oh, Tidus...that ride has dead people on it and its a cave too. I'm literally going to be scared!" Yuna whined. "Don't worry, I'll ride with you and protect you, Scaredy-Yuna." Tidus chuckled. "No way will I be caught dead on that ride." Renee snobbishly declared. "Good. Then me and Sora will go on. Come on!" Kairi exclaimed. The five came to the lines, but Renee stood back since she couldn't go on. She seemed to be filled with anger and jealousy. Kairi was just glad to get away from the girl.
"Sora, I have a confession." Kairi blushed, as the two got their seatbelts strapped on the car. "Shoot." Sora replied. "If I scream so loud from this ride, don't say that I didn't tell you so. Okay?" Kairi asked.
"No problemo." Sora laughed. The carts began to move, and Kairi took one last look at Renee before screaming her heart out as a fake dead bloody man appeared to be ran over by their cart. She heard evil laughter and roars, so she closed her eyes, not wanting to look or peek at anything else. She could hear Sora laughing at her. "Kairi, its all fake! C'mon just look, I'm right next to you..." Sora said.
Kairi decided to peek, but in her horror she saw a creepy looking guy hung up from the wall. She screamed, and hid herself into Sora's sleeve. She held on to him for dear life. "Sora that wasn't funny!"
For a moment, the two decided to scream "JESUS!" the whole ride. And they did, actually.
When they got off, Tidus and Yuna were pointing their fingers at them and laughing. "Kairi, you were still screaming even before you realized the ride was over!" Yuna giggled. "So? T-that place was s-so scary!" Kairi gasped. Sora hugged her, "That was horrific, huh?"
"We heard you two scream 'Jesus' the whole time. Sounded kinda nasty..." Tidus chuckled.
Yuna elbowed him in the ribs. "Ow!"
Just then, Renee ruined everything by sliding in and making her way right next to Sora. "Was it boring, with me gone, Sora?" Renee asked, glancing at Kairi a bit. "It was fine. But I want to ride the rollercoaster, whos in and whos too chicken?" Sora laughed like a little boy. "I will!" Kairi shouted.
The five ran up in the line to go on an old wooden rollercoaster than Sora secretly loved for it's legend of breaking soon enough. When Renee got past the line wall, the worker stopped her. "Sorry, but all the seats are taken. You'll have to wait for the next ride." Renee looked at the man in disgust, "But thats so unfair, I paid money to experience rides with my friends and now look at what you have done! I DEMAND YOU GET ME A SEAT ON THAT CART! OR ELSE I WILL..." Her voice trailed off in the distance as Kairi was helped into her seat. Sora sat next to her. "Ready to die, Kairi?" he asked sarcastically. "Shut up. I'm only going on this ride because you are." Kairi admitted. "Really? Well in that case-" He was interrupted by the carts moving upward and the ride was about to begin. Kairi looked as if she was going to faint and swallow. "Just put your hands up in the air when we drop, Kai. And whatever you do, don't hold on to the railings!" Sora yelled over the screams of excitement. Then as the carts went up faster, the big drop finally came to view, "Sora, please dont let me go!" Kairi shouted. Sora looked over at her, confused. He offered her his hand, and she gladly excepted. "Here we go-WEEEYEAHH!!" He smiled as they all flew downward. Kairi couldn't help but scream, "DEAR HEAVENLY MOTHER OF GOD, SAVE ME, SAVE ME, AHHH, MOMMY, MOMMY, STOP THE RIDE, AHHH, SORA, SORA ,SORA!" It went on like this for a minute, until the ride finally stopped.
"Kairi, you okay?" Sora asked, fixing his spiky brown hair.
"No. I think I'm gonna be sick!" Kairi stated flatly. He helped her out of her seat, and the two walked over towards Tidus, Yuna, and Renee. "Have fun, Kairi? You look so sick." Renee smirked.
"Yea, maybe you should just relax a bit while we go on another ride." Yuna said with a concerned expression on her face. "Kairi, don't be such a baby. That was fun!" Tidus laughed. Yuna elbowed him again. "I think I will rest. You guys go ahead, I'll sit at this bench." Kairi decided.
"You sure you'll be okay? We're gonna ride the ferris wheel..." Sora held her shoulder with a hand.
"I'll be fine. But I might throw up if I go on another ride for awhile." Kairi admitted.
"Poor, Kairi! Lets just go..." Renee rolled her eyes. She grabbed Sora's hand and pulled him away.
"We'll be back, I promise!" Sora turned his head as Renee tried pulling his attention away from Kairi.
"I know you will." Kairi whispered. She then grew dizzy. Not because of the rides, but because of the fact Sora didn't let go of Renee's hand. She hated herself for thinking of him as someone to have feelings for. She hated Renee too.
Sora sat by Renee on the ferris wheel as the wheel went in slow circles.
"So..." Sora sighed. Howcome he couldn't talk to Renee? He could say a million things to Kairi and actually start a good conversation, but with Renee-these efforts were fruitless. Maybe it was because they had nothing in common. After all, Renee was a cheerleader.
"So, I was just wondering if you like me the way I'm hoping you like me." Renee stated.
Sora was surprised, "Isn't that a bit too straight forward, Renee?"
"Not to me. Isn't this supposed to be a date, Sora? Come on, I'm not like your Kairi-friend. I'm real. I'm a chick." Renee said as she looked into Sora's confused eyes. "What do you mean? Kairi's my best friend." Sora asked. "Whatever. I'm not gonna play all innocent like she does. The difference between her and me, is that I'm not stupid to act like I don't like you. I like you and she's getting in the way." Renee seemed so irritated at how slow Sora was being. "I think you're pretty, and a lot of guys like you, but I thought we were friends. I'm not just some guy, and Kairi isn't some girl you should be insulting like that, Renee. Ugh, I wish this ride was over...because now I realize what a shallow-headed jerk you are." Sora coldly told the shocked cheerleader. "Fine be that way, Sora. I knew you'd be an innocent loser anyway." Renee found the nerve to say, in spite of her state of shock. No guy had ever rejected Renee. Not even her friends talked to her in the tone Sora did. He was pissed. She was trying a way to revenge herself. Then she saw it. The perfect timing. Kairi was watching the two down below from the ground, and the idea popped up right in Renee's mind. It would be the most horrid and easiest thing she could do, especially because Kairi was watching. "You deserve this, Sora!" She announced boldly.
Sora turned to look at her with bewildered eyes, "What the-?" and she did it. Renee placed her big lips on Sora's skinny and unaware lips. His first kiss, stolen by the shallow cheerleader. Kairi watched in shock as Renee held the kiss. Sora didn't know what to do, he was too slow to react, and before he knew it-the ride was over and he could hear Kairi.
"How could you?" she gasped. He pushed Renee away from his face, "Kairi...its not what it looks like..." He jumped up and grabbed her left arm. "Let go of me! I know exactly what you're doing-making out with her!" Kairi indicated Renee, who was too pleased at the misunderstanding. Kairi had thought that it was Sora that had made the move, not the other way around. "Wait, Kairi! Let me explain!" Sora begged. She looked at her childhood friend and he saw the hurt in her eyes, "Please, stay away from me."
Then Kairi ran. As fast as she could. Sora was about to run after her, when he felt Renee's slimy hands touch his shoulder. "What do you freaking want?!" he shouted at the cheerleader. "Ugh! Nothing. God, I thought you wouldn't resist me but then again you are dumb, Sora." Renee snapped. "Shut up! You really want to know why I don't like you, Renee?" Sora questioned. "WHY?"
"Because guys like me don't like SLUTTS like you!" Sora snapped back. Renee gasped, stunned at his cold remark. "Whatever." Renee murmured as she swept past Tidus and Yuna.
"That went well." Tidus said. "I got to find Kairi, sorry!" Sora started to run as he called back to his two shocked friends. Too bad that they didn't have the time to tell Sora that they had just hooked up on the ferris wheel only minutes before. "Let him be." Yuna patted Tidus' arm, "He needs to apologize to Kairi." Tidus nodded his head. "Hey, you think Renee will give us her tickets?"
Kairi ran all the way home. She was so tired and angry at herself, that she didn't care to notice that her mother still wasn't home. Everything came back to her mind. That kiss was all that she thought about. A kiss that would've probably been hers, was taken away from Renee, Destiny's lovely cheerleaders.
"I guess he sort of was always into pretty, popular girls." Kairi sighed. She headed back to the couch and felt like dying. Something surprising happened. No tears came down her eyes. She thought all the way through her run that she'd end up crying and sobbing her heart out. But nothing had happened. Her heart felt broken, cold, and empty. The emptiness was so strong, that she didn't have any emotional feelings towards it. Everything just felt so numb. Her head began to go in circles and she would've fainted, if she hadn't heard the loud knock on the door. She jumped up, and ran to the door, hoping that it would be her mother to comfort her. To her dread, it was him. His spiky brown hair was a mess, and he looked like he had run the whole way. "Kairi..." Sora panted. Kairi couldn't say anything, so she tried shutting the door, but he had managed to put a foot in the corner to block the door from closing.
"Wait! We need to talk...what you saw at the ferris wheel with Renee-"
"I know perfectly well of what happened, Sora. So do yourself a favor and go back to her!" Kairi whined, trying with all her might to close the door. But he was stronger. "Shut up and listen to me, Kairi!" Sora inched his way through the door and it bursted open, leaving Kairi defeated and bewildered. "I didn't kiss her, Kairi." Sora explained. "Oh my god, stop being a liar...I saw you!" Kairi crossed her arms. He stood before her in the hallway. "No, she made the move on me! She wanted to make you jealous because I rejected her." Sora said with anger.
"You're pissing me off, Sora." Kairi stabbed him in the chest with a finger. She was surprised at how strong he was. "You're not listening!" Sora cried. Kairi decided the only thing to do was to kick him. She kicked him in the nuts. But he barely dodged it, and fell to the floor, bringing Kairi with him.
She looked at him with guilt and anger as she lay on top of him.
"You're the one who is so damn stubborn, Kairi!" Sora snapped at her.
"Me? You leave me confused and heartbroken every single day! You keep playing games with my head and I can't even tell if you're for real anymore!" Kairi snapped back.
"Oh, shut up! As if you don't do the same?"
"I try to tell you my feelings...but you're just so..."
"I'm what!?"
"I hate you!" Kairi yelped. Sora grabbed her arms, and shoved her over to the floor, bringing himself now on top. "Hate me? Well thats your problem, Kairi. You never realize anything in front of you!"
He angrily spoke. His voice was getting confusing to Kairi, somehow she felt that he was sorry.
"I hate you too, Kairi." He added in indescribable words.
Kairi rolled over and this time, she was once again on top.
"Then why are you here? Why stay my best friend if you're like this?" She questioned, her voice becoming lower and sadder.
He rolled her over again, "Because! You're irresistable, Kairi. I hate you, but I love you."
His words were above a whisper. Sora held himself above Kairi by his arms, and stared at her, breathing heavily. She grew silent.
"I don't want to stay just your best friend either, Sora." Kairi whispered in his ear.
She gently pushed his face towards hers, and their lips finally met. He was shocked, but quickly recovered by passionately kissing her back. She held him by the neck as his hands stroked her cheek lovingly. They loved every bit of it. But something was wrong. He started to press himself down more on her, but she realized that she loved this feeling-and she grew scared. "Get off!" She shoved him to the side. He fell to the right of her as she quickly got up. "Huh? Kairi-"
"Leave, get out! Leave me alone!" Kairi ran to the bathroom and locked the door behind her.
"Kairi? Whats wrong?" Sora asked, confused. He realized that she would not answer, and had no choice. He grabbed a piece of paper and pen from the kitchen and quickly wrote:
Kairi, I can't stand us being just best friends. If we can't be more than friends , then lets be nothing at all- Sora
He bent over and slipped it under the door. Kairi had her back on the door and saw the note. She read it from where she stood, and silently slid her back up against the door. She began to sob as she reached the ground. It was too hard to admit that she wanted him badly. Sora stared at the door with mixed feelings. He couldn't wait forever, and pressed his head up against the door, "Why do you have to be so difficult!" He banged his head in frustration. No reply came, but Kairi sat on the other side of the door with tears in her eyes and a frown. Sora muttered something else, and quickly turned away from the bathroom hallway. He made his way out the door, shut it, and left Kairi's house feeling stupid. He should have never made out with her like that. He should have never even invited stupid Renee.
Kairi sat on the floor crying. She wasn't sure why. She felt scared. Everything was new to her. And the fact that they had just fought and ended up kissing like that? It made her feel-confused.
"Sora, why do you have to be predictable and unpredictable at the same time?" She softly cried.
She ended up opening the door, and looking for her love. He was gone. She knew it was too good to be true, so she fled upstairs and fell onto her bed. Exhausted from crying, fighting, arguing, running, thinking, and kissing...Kairi decided to close her eyes and drift away to dreamland.
They hate eachother, but they love eachother? Sounds dangerous. Leave reviews, and story suggestions. What should happen next? YOU DECIDE! Oh and if you're wondering what happened to Yuna and Tidus, well Tidus kissed her on the ferris wheel and Sora was too love sprung to notice that they were holding hands. As for Renee...hey I would've put that she walked home and got kidnapped by some dude on the corner and he tried rapping her because she dresses too revealing, but then again shes a cheerleader and could do some kicks at the kidnapper. I mean, cheerleaders are strong and have to learn how to stretch their legs. Eh, but Renee isn't anyone in particular. I just like the name for the bad ass girl. She just had to be so revengeful and kiss Sora. Poor, Sora...he probably feels all rejected by Kairi. :/ -EssTelle
