Chapter 2: Falling for your Best Friend

"Haaaayner!" I called, searching the crowded hallway. School had just began and all the students were at their lockers and preparing for their morning classes.

"Oh, Hayner! Where are you?" I called out, louder then before. I wanted to see if Selphie had been telling the truth about him and Olette kissing in the hallway yesterday. I didn't find him and I decided to wait for lunch to bother him.

As soon as my last class ended, I headed for lunch, anxious to see Hayner. I really wanted to see his face when I told him the gossip. I walked to our table only to find Kairi, Namine, and Olette. No sign of the brunette I was looking for.

"Hey, guys," I greeted. "Anyone seen Hayner?" I payed attention to Olette's face. She turned pink but said nothing.

"Hi Roxas. Did you give Sora the invitation?" Kairi asked, ignoring my question.

"Yes, yes, I did. Have you seen Hayner?" I replied impatiently.

"He went home early because he was feeling sick," Namine told me.

"Oh," I was utterly disappointed. Then, I thought of something. I grinned evilly.

Namine and Kairi exchanged glances. "Roxas...what are you up to?"

I ignored them and said to Olette. "So, Olette," I smirked. "What did you do during lunch yesterday? I couldn't find you."

She looked at me and turned red. "Uh.." She nervously took a sip of her water.

I grinned. "Congrats for kissing Hayner!"

Olette immediately prayed the water she was drinking out of her mouth. "H-How..?" She stuttered, her face turning crimson. It's a good thing no one was sitting across from her. They would have been sprayed with water.

"Olette! You kissed Hayner? Why didn't you say anything!" Kairi demanded.

"Lay off, Kairi." Namine said, noticing her brunette friend getting even more embarrassed. "You too, Roxas."

I shrugged. "Selphie told me. You know how she gets."

Olette smiled, still red. "It's okay, really. Hayner and I..well..." She started.

"You're his girl friend!" Kairi jumped up, excited. "Oh yeah! Go Olette!"

"That's it. I'm going to sit with Sora and the others. Unless you already told them..." Olette got up and looked at me.

I shook my head. "I didn't tell him. I swear."

"Good. I'll see you in English." Olette carried her lunch to Sora's table.

Kairi was still beaming. I didn't know why she was so pleased. But, as I looked at her, I could see some sadness in her expression. Before I could ask my she seemed sad, the bell rang. I threw the remains of my lunch away and headed for my locker.

-------------

After school, we all got together -Me, Namine, Olette, Riku, Selphie, Sora, Tidus, Yuna, and Pence- and wondered what we were going to give Kairi for her birthday.

"Let's go to the mall!" cried Selphie.

"Let's not." I replied. I hated malls. Especially on Fridays and it was Friday. The mall would be super busy and crowded.

"Well, where else can we go?" Namine asked.

"My driver's test is today. Maybe if I get my licence we can go down town!" Riku said. Riku was sixteen and was in driving school. I wasn't sure if I could trust Riku's driving skills. Once I watched him drive a course and he knocked over all the cones. So I decided I didn't want Riku to be our chauffeur.

"Or we could ask my mom to drive us somewhere. She's got a van so we can all fit." Sora suggested.

"Yeah, let's do that." Pence said. "Besides, Riku needs to take his drivers's test in.." Pence looked at his watch on his wrist. "Hey Riku, didn't you sat your test was at 3:00? Because it's 2:55 right now."

Riku looked at him and scowled. "Awww, shit!" (A/n - Sorry for the swears but it's only necessary. Any teen would swear at a time like this. ) Riku started running toward his driving school. "You guys go ahead. I'll get a present with Hayner tomorrow!" Riku sprinted as fast as he could.

"Good luck!" Selphie and Yuna called.

"Heh, I bet he'll fail." Tidus snickered.

"Think positively!" Yuna scolded him and hit him on the head.

"Well, it's not my fault he sucks at driving," Tidus mumbled. "Oh crap! I've got soccer practice!" Tidus yelled.

"Man, everyone's forgetting things today," Sora said.

"Okay, how about I go with Tidus to his practice and you guys get a present for us," Yuna handed me her munny. "Get something good." Yuna smiled and ran off with Tidus. I knew Yuna liked Tidus. I knew it.

"So now it's just me, you, Namine, Olette, Selphie and Pence." Sora said to me.

"Yep." I replied. "Let's go to your house and ask if we can go to the mall," I dreaded the mall, but it was for Kairi.

--------------

We went to the mall and each bought Kairi a gift. I got her an iTunes gift card for her iPod; Namine got her a pair of really nice earrings and matching bracelets; Selphie bought her a collection of romantic novels; Pence got her a DVD of The Simpsons; Olette bought her a soft scarf that, according to Sora, matched Kairi's eyes; Sora didn't get her anything. He was having trouble finding the perfect gift and he just didn't find one.

So that brings us to our current location. I was at my stepmom's house- Sora's house- in Sora's room, pondering what to get Kairi. The rest of our friends had already gone to their houses. Actually, Sora was panicking more then trying to find a solution.

"What should I get her? What should I get her? Roxas, you could help me you know." Sora glared at me.

I sighed, getting impatient. "Sora, why don't you just kiss her for a gift. You know, she does likes you." I clamped my mouth shut. Oh, crap. I'd just told Sora Kairi's secret. Kairi was SO going to kill me.

Sora stared at me. "S-She likes me?"

I sighed again. "Yeah. But don't tell her I told you. She'll have my head for blowing her secret." Why did Kairi even tell me anyway? Probably because I was related to Sora. Yeah, that must be it.

"So, s-she'd like it..i-if.. I, you know.." Sora paused, blushing at the thought. "..Kissed her."

"Yep." I replied lazily. I don't know why Sora was stuttering. It's not like Kairi is here or anything...

I looked out the window. I half expected to see Kairi. I laughed at myself for thinking that.

"Roxas, I need to go ask Mom something," Sora started.

"She's not my mom." I replied softly.

"Oh, right. Uh..be right back." Sora slipped out of the room.

I shouldn't have acted like that. I was acting weird, even though I didn't need to be. I sighed and lied down on his bed. My thoughts raced by my head as I thought of my dad. He was such a jerk. Getting Sora's mom pregnant then leaving her. She must have been devastated. Then he had to get my mom pregnant. Then, he left her. Two weeks ago. He just left. I clenched my teeth. A jerk like that shouldn't be roaming around.

I cleared my head. I didn't feel like being emo right now. Yes, sometimes I turn emo. Without knowing it, my thoughts were on Namine. She had such beautiful blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes...

I immediately sat up. Namine was my friend. I am not falling for her. I was not. I was complementing her. Yes, that's it. My cheeks felt hot. I was blushing. No. Oh, no. This is bad. Namine is one of my best friends. I can't fall for her. I won't.

Then Sora barged in again. "Roxas! I'm going to kiss Kairi on her birthday!" He announced. "Mom.. er, my mom approves of it." He beamed. "I will finally tell her how I feel."

"Great." I replied. "I need to get going now. See you, Sora." I walked out of his room.

"Bye, Roxas. Thanks." Sora said.

"No problem," I replied. "No problem." Although I had a problem. I was falling in love with Namine!
