Okay! 2nd chapter now and there's some SoKai! (: Yippee! There's also some drama or well, prep for drama if you could call if that xD

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters.

"Hey Kairi!"

"Hey Olette!"

I sit down next to her and greet everyone else. "Hey Hayner, What's up Pence?"

"Hmm, not much. This lunch today isn't really that good though." He answered making a sour face at it.

"Oh so, I don't get a 'what's up, Hayner?'" He questioned.

"No, you don't because you suck." I stick my tongue out at him.

"Psh, I am awesome, Kairi Hikari, and you can't deny it!" He says pointing his finger at me.

"Awesome, my butt." Ahh, it was just like Olette not to curse. I smile at her innocence.

"She's got a point you know." Pence added.

"Hell yeah!" I agreed.

"Okay I get it, I'm not awesome, now quit picking on me, you guys!" he whined.

"Awwh, we're just kidding Hayner! Of course you're awesome!" Olette comforted and gave him a hug. Oh what a surprise that he blushed! And that's sarcasm.

We all just laugh and continued having a good time at lunch talking about today or some plans in progress and what not. The bell rings and it's time to go. Olette and I wave bye to the boys as we head for our next class.

"So, Kairi, how's it going?"

Many things go through my mind on what she could have meant. "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean! How are things going with you and everybody?"

Oh yeah. Only she, Roxas, Xion and Riku know how I feel about being around with the popular crowd. They're these people that everybody knows, everybody likes talking to, and everybody adores. I'm not. So naturally, I feel out of place and weird when I'm with them. I still hang out with them, just usually one or two of them together (mostly just Xion, Riku, and Roxas) instead of them all of them together.

That's why I don't sit with them at lunch. I sit with Olette, Hayner and Pence, who have been my pals since freshmen year.

"It's okay. Why wouldn't it be?"

"You just hang out with them so much. And at least to me, when you feel left out a lot, it starts getting to you, ya know?" She said softly.

"Mhmm, yeah I do. But it's alright. As long as I have you guys and the friends I still actually talk to and feel comfortable with, in the group, I'll be okay." I said smiling at her.

"Of course, Kairi! It's just.."

"What, Olette?"

"If you feel so different when you're with them all together, why do you hang out with all of them so much?"

So I can stay close to him. "So it's not so weird when they see me hanging out with Xion, Roxas and Riku all the time. It's not like I hate them or that they make fun of me, Olette. They just tend to forget I'm there when they're all together."

"You sure you're fine, Kairi?" She asked as she sat down in her chair.

"Of course I am, Olette."

"Roxas and Namine broke up!"

"What?"

"Yeah! After-school, they broke up!"

"Why?"

"I don't know why, Kairi!"

"Why not?"

"Because they're not telling anybody why! I think they don't want everyone to know the reason and then have people start spreading rumors."

"Well, even if they don't tell, then people are going to try to guess and spread their own rumors, Xion!"

"That's true but still. Maybe they just like keeping their privacy and not having every little thing about their relationship known."

"Gah, you're right. But they were so good together! What would have made them break up?" I really couldn't believe this was happening.

"I'm not sure."

"Well, how do you feel about this, Xion?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Roxas is single now. And what are you gonna do?"

She hesitated. "Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?"

"I mean I'm not gonna try to be his girlfriend. Or make him change his mind and want me instead of her."

"Why not?"

"Because Kairi, who knows how long this break-up is going to last? Who knows if it's not some minor thing? But we all know that Roxas loves Namine and not anyone else. And she does too."

"Xion.."

"You know I'm right, Kairi."

"Yeah. I know you are. But how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. I know Roxas and I will never have a thing but we will always be friends. And that's all I really want from us."

I give my cousin a huge hug. Looking at her while she said all that, I knew that she was in pain, she still really likes him. But she knows what's right. And she's staying strong.

"Xion, you're definitely going to find love one day. And you're going to be very happy. I just know it. He'll be the perfect guy for you too."

She pulls away smiling and says, "Thanks Kairi." I just smile in return. "Now, come on. We're going for a visit."

"Hey Sora! Is Roxas home?"

"Yeah, but he's upstairs in his room. He hasn't really said much since we got home."

"It's fine, we're going to go see Roxas. Come on Kairi."

I look at Xion and sigh. I wanted to stay down here though. "I'm coming." We both go up the stairs and I knock on Roxas' door.

"Roxas, it's Kairi! Open the door!"

"Go away."

"Rude!" looking at the door surprised, I walk out of the way so that Xion can try.

"It's Xion, open up!" As soon as she finished, he opens his door, grabs her by the wrist and yanks her inside locking his door. I just stand there, shocked. Why didn't he let me in? I thought we were best friends. I just awkwardly stand outside his door looking down at the carpeted floor.

A couple minutes later, Xion walks out the door looking a bit appalled. I look up at her expecting her to say something. "Roxas is mad at you."

"What? Why?"

"I can't say."

"Do you at least know why he and Namine broke up?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you that either. Now, I'm sorry. I got to go talk to Roxas some more. I'll see you in a bit." She then goes back inside closing the door.

I just stand there staring at the door like a fool. Roxas is mad at me. But I have no clue what for. And he still must be upset with the break-up. What if they're connected? I walk down the stairs with my head hung low. Roxas is mad at me, and only with me does he stay mad for a while. Everyone else he'll forgive the next day, but not me. What did I do? Why's he mad at m-

"Hey, what's wrong Kairi…?"

I look up at stunning blue eyes staring back into mine. I gulp feeling nervous and look away. "Roxas…"

"What about Roxas? Did something else happen?"

"He's mad at me." I start rubbing my arm awkwardly.

"That's it? That's not so bad. Cheer up! Roxas always forgives people! Really easily too!"

"Not with me. He's only been mad at me once. But he took a while to forgive me. And he ignored me for days."

"Come on. Let's go in my room and sit down."

"Are…are you sure?" I ask nervously.

"Yeah, of course. Let's go. The folks won't mind." He leads me up into his room and sits me down on his bed. He sits on his computer chair and faces me. Using his hand to cup my chin, he brings my head up. "Kairi, are you okay?"

I gulp again. I was feeling pretty nervous being so close to him. "I don't know. But I think what's really getting to me is that he wouldn't even talk to me but he talked to Xion and we're supposed to be best friends! Plus I don't even know why he's mad at me so I have no idea what I did wrong or what I did to make him mad at me."

He smiles. Looking at it just makes me want to smile back. "It's going to be okay. He always forgives you in the end right? I'm sure whatever you did that made him upset wasn't that bad and Roxie's just overreacting."

I giggle at the pet name. "Ahh, look at that smile! It's pretty gorgeous you know?" Not as much as yours. "Besides, Xion is in there talking to him right now! If that doesn't help him forgive you, then me talking and nagging him, will!" I just smile even bigger.

We keep on talking for a while and I'm glad it's not ending but then Xion walks in.

"There you are Kairi! It's times to go, it's 10:30! We've been here for two hours! Let's go!"

"Okay." I get up and start walking towards Xion into the hall. We all go downstairs to the front door.

"Bye! Thanks for letting us come over!" Then she walks out the door waiting outside for me.

"Bye Xion! Bye Kairi, it was nice getting to talk to you and being able to cheer you up." He grins.

I smile and decide to do this before I could change my mind. I give him a hug and say, "Thanks Sora, not just for caring but for cheering me up too. You helped me a lot. " I let go of him and walk out the door. I turn around while walking and shout, "Bye now!" Then I catch up to Xion with a smile still on my face.

"Hey, why were Sora's cheeks red?"

Yay! SoKai! :D Mhmm, I love SoKai(: So, it kinda seems like Kairi has a thing for Sora, huh? Explained more later on:P and so will why Roxas is mad at Kairi and why he and Namine broke up.
