Chapter 5: Chyea boi! Its finally here. Terribly sorry about the almost 2 month wait for this chapter, but I got busy and ended up in another state for a month after school was over. But I can write some more now that I'm home and its summer. Don't be a tweak and read/review.

Kairi woke up and found that she was in her room and the morning birds were singing happily. She didn't bother to get up, why would she want to? If she went to school, she'd have to face him. Kairi wasn't ready to deal with Sora, or even forgive him for last night…or was she?
Maybe they'd never be friends again. It pained her to think about it.
Meanwhile, Sora was already walking to school since it was already 8:00 AM. He spotted Roxas chatting with some dude who looked like Hayner, and Riku was nearby. Roxas always got to school ten minutes earlier than Sora, somehow. "Whats up with you, you look freakin' like you drank ten cans of Bud." Riku slightly teased his friend. "He's been crazy since he came home from his little date with Renee." Roxas rolled his eyes. "You went on a date with a cheerleader?" Hayner seemed pretty shocked. "Correction: The cheerleader." Riku added. "Shut up. I don't want to talk about it." Sora frowned. "Jeez, since when did you become all emo, Sora!" Riku said offended. "Just leave him alone-oh look theres Namine!" Roxas caught a sight of the blond-headed girl carrying some books. "Hey Roxas, have you seen Kairi? She was supposed to walk with me today and we wanted to go check if the principal got sued." Namine questioned Roxas.
"Nope. Did you ask Yuna?" Roxas asked. "Yeah, she said Kairi was pretty upset about something to do with Renee the Cheerleader and didn't even stay at the amusement park…I'm sensing Sora has something to do with this…" Namine tapped her foot on the cement. "Don't look at me, I'm not in the mood." Sora sighed. "What did happen to you and Kairi last night, bro?" Roxas questioned in a concerned tone. "I don't remember." Sora lied. "Pft. That's a great excuse, dude." Riku crossed his arms. "Well…uh…oh look theres the morning bell! Gotta get to homeroom!" Sora quickly tried to escape from his explanations. "Wait, I didn't hear the morning bell, did you?" Namine asked Roxas as Sora stormed off. "Great. Lets just hope he didn't screw things up with Kairi, I bet Leon would kick his a-" Just then, a teacher walked by and Roxas quickly shut his mouth from saying the "booty" word.
Sora didn't see Kairi all day at school, and figured that she was playing hooky to avoid him. Kudos to him for figuring out that! It was lunchtime, and he took his tray over to sit with his guy friends. The girls were mysteriously off somewhere else-and so was Roxas. Tidus stuffed a handful of Hot Cheetos in his mouth, "I wonder where Yuna is…" he said, but sounded kind of stupid since his mouth was already full. Sora was too caught up in his own thoughts to notice Tidus was looking at him still. "Sora, so what happened to you and Kairi? I hear Renee is pretty pissed at you, too." The beach blond-haired guy asked. "A lot of weird things happened last night, but I'm not so sure if I really wanna talk about Renee." Sora once again, for about the millionth time that day (who knows maybe even the bijillionith time) he sighed loudly. "I'm not so sure that's possible-since the fact she's coming right towards us now…" Riku pointed to the back of the cafeteria. Sora turned his head around and saw the evil-faced girl with a group of her posse. Sora gulped, "Just my luck."
"Roxas?" Namine asked the boy as they both sat on the park benches. The park actually belonged on school property, and few kids spent their lunch hours in the park because of its far distance from the other classrooms. But Roxas had decided to take Namine to the park, because it was the only place where they could be alone. "Yeah?" Roxas looked down from his view of the trees to see the blond girl. "I don't think Sora is ever going to hook up with Kairi from what I hear." Namine explained. "Oh? I think they will." Roxas replied with a smirk on his face. "What makes you think that?" Namine questioned. "I don't know. They've been friends for a really long time and eventually they're gonna want each other badly enough." Roxas shrugged. "I don't think its possible." Namine quietly said. "What are you saying, Namine?" Roxas asked. Namine looked into Roxas's eyes and frowned, "Well I've known a girl and boy and they've been friends for a long time and…well, I don't know…"
"And what? Tell me."
"They've been friends but he never asked her out or anything. So where's the hope in that!" Namine finished her statement quickly. It was silent for a few moments, until Roxas spoke:
"Oh, I see. And who are these people that you knew?"
"What does it matter, anyway." Namine shrugged.
"I dunno," Roxas scratched his spiky blond head, "Can I ask you a serious question, Namine?"
"Better than anyone else I know, Roxie!" Namine sarcastically said.
"Ha ha, very funny. No, seriously…what if theres a girl you really, really think you possibly might have more than a crush on but your afraid to tell her because a ton of other guys already liked her and she rejected them… so you think that you don't have a chance with her, but still you're dying to kiss her…?" Roxas asked. Namine thought for a moment and then she smiled her prettiest smile, "I'd do the exact thing that he was dying to do: Kiss her." For a moment Roxas was confused, but he wasted no time. He leaned in, closed his eyes, and was about to meet lips with Namine when all of a sudden…
"ROXAS!"
"Huh, wha-Woah!" Roxas cried as he accidentally fell off his seat and landed stomach flat on the grass. "Omigod. Roxas are you alright?" Namine quickly got up to check on the boy. "Ouch." Roxas rubbed his elbow. "Roxas, there you are! I need you right, right now!" A familiar high-toned voice called from behind. Roxas and Namine turned to see Sora, who had obviously ran the whole way from the cafeteria just to find them. "Uh, did I interrupt something?" Sora scratched his head. Roxas groaned, "No, you did nothing wrong." He quickly got up with the help of Namine and took Sora by the arm so Namine wouldn't hear their conversation. "What is it! I was just about to kiss her!" Roxas tried not to yell, but failed bitterly. Namine just blushed and looked away off to the side as if she didn't hear a thing Roxas had said. "Well oops, my bad! Renee came to my table and told me she was sorry and wanted to go to a party and I told her yes." Sora quickly said. "What? Why would you do that…I thought that Renee was a skank?" Roxas asked in confusion. "It doesn't matter. Renee seemed pretty cool about it and Riku agreed to go too. I think maybe its time I moved on from Kairi and looked at other options." Sora said plainly. "What?! Oh my god, are you that crazy, Sora? To think I always called you my 'justice-serving' brother when you just wanna rendevouz with Renee to get over Kairi? I thought you 2 were best friends, what happened last night, Sora?" Roxas's temper was quickly rising. "Just stay out of it, Roxas. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go too. I mean, you always said that it would be cool to go to a party like Cloud does, and now you're yelling at me? This could be your chance to actually get with a cheerleader! Remember all those times you used to say how cool it would be now that we're in high school?" Sora hollered loudly, and Namine heard all of it. "You wanted to get with a cheerleader?" Namine asked Roxas. "No, I wanted to…but not now, I want someone else-" Roxas turned to see the blonde girl. "I thought you said you weren't like Cloud and all those party boys, Roxas! Then who is that 'someone else' anyway? The head cheerleader?" Namine interrupted him in pitiful disgust. She was hurt. Roxas is a typical hot-girl chaser, to think he'd actually want to kiss me, Namine thought. "That's not true, Namine. I don't like any of the cheerleaders!" Roxas cried. "No it isn't, what about that one time when we were watching Riku play basketball, and Kairi said that the one cheerleader Adrienne was too sluttish and you said she was so hot…" Sora wasn't helping at all. "Shut up, dude! And don't go to Renee's party…Namine wait! I did say that, but I don't like Adrienne or Candace or Holly!" Roxas chased after Namine, who was already running away. "Whatever, dude!" Sora yelled across to Roxas. Roxas just flipped him off and continued trying to explain to Namine that he wasn't a jerk.

Kairi didn't go to school, but got ready anyways. She was popping in some cookies in the oven around 5:30 PM, and was sort of feeling upset that her mother was out working late again. She wore her favorite pink outfit, and had her hair in curls, but inside she didn't feel pretty. She felt depressed. Not only did she and Sora fight, he admitted he loved her. Loved her. Out of all the guys that had an eye on her, she wouldn't have guessed that Sora would be the first to admit it. He was a dork for crying out loud. He was a sappy-cute-sexy-dork. He was her dork. Scratch that-he used to be her dork. Now he was nothing. I should've gone to school and tried to talk to him, she thought sadly to herself. Just then, the doorbell rang. "Coming, I'm coming!" Kairi called after the third ding-dong. To her surprise, it was Namine. "There you are, Kairi! I've been having a bad day." Namine rushed in to hug her friend. "Bad day, tell me about it." Kairi sighed, hugging Namine back. They departed and Kairi invited Namine inside. "Mmm, smells like cookies. I could really use that." Namine giggled. "Whats wrong, Namine?" Kairi asked as she showed Namine the kitchen. "Roxas disappointed me. Nothing more. He's probably off kissing some cheerleader Audrey, Molly, Polly-whatsherfacee. I honestly thought he wasn't a party boy, but that just proves I'm stupid." Namine sighed as she sat on the counter seats. "Sounds dramatic." Kairi sighed as well. "Wait! You didn't tell me about your double date with Sora, Tidus, Yuna, and…Renee. How did it go, Kairi?" Namine asked. "I really don't wanna talk about it, Namine." Kairi sadly said. "Oh c'mon tell me! I promise to be understanding, unlike anyone else. Sora seemed pretty depressed today anyhow. He didn't tell me or anyone a thing. Which is shocking…" Namine urged. Kairi took a deep breath, "It's a long story, Nammie."
"Tell me, I've got all the time, Kairi." Namine flashed a small smile. Kairi felt that she had to tell Namine this, if anyone else. So she told Namine everything. About Renee, about the fighting and the whole conversation between her and Sora. Absolutely everything. Namine listened to every word. And when Kairi was finished, all she said was:
"So what do you think, Kairi? Do you love him back?"
"I don't know…he really hurt me, but at the same time I think I love him even more." Kairi admitted. "Well, you'd better get your feelings straight before he makes a fool out of himself. He's so depressed, him and Riku are going to a party and he might get with Renee if you don't come clean about your heart soon." Namine explained. "What party?" Kairi had a smile on her face. Namine grinned back, "Before we crash it. Can't we take some cookies? I want to get stuffed with junk food so I can feel better about Roxas."
"Sure can!" Kairi's grin grew bigger, from ear to ear.
AN: Uh oh, they're gonna crash the party and try to get Sora back to senses. Not without a fight though, Renee still is a very popular cheerleader and sooo hates Kairi. I'm thinking Namine might throw a cookie at Roxas for calling a cheerleader hot. Poor Roxas, he couldn't even explain his true feelings to her without stupid Sora ruining it. But that's High School. Reviews would be nice!
