Day 6
I woke up the next morning and went outside to find it raining. I endured it and ran off to Riku's. His mom told me he was sick, so I sat on the beach, in the rain. Then Sora came up. I sat there smiling and thinking about stuff. Sora sat down and we talked for what seemed like hours and hours.
"You're really weird, in a funny way. It's entertaining to watch." I said. He laughed.
"I'll take that as a compliment!" He said. Wow. This whole time and he hasn't said anything stupid…yet.
"Kairi? Why aren't you with Riku?" Sora asked.
"Can't I hang out with my best friend?" I asked. Did I just call him my best friend? I'm going to regret this…
"I'm your best friend?" He asked.
"Yeah. Is that a problem?" I asked.
"No! It's a good thing. I like it like that, just as friends." He said.
"Why?" I asked astonishingly.
"Because everything is easier, no complications, no break-ups or fights that will destroy our relationship, it really is nice." He said.
"Wow. That is really sentimental." I said.
"Kairi. You look really pretty today," He said.
"Drenched in water lying here in the sand?" I asked.
"Yeah. I've never really seen you this close before, and you really are much prettier than I thought," He said.
"Thanks." I replied nervously.
"You know Sora, it's really weird to have two guys as your best friends. Especially when they are fighting over you," I said as I lay down, looking at the sky. "I think this is all breaking up our friendship."
"I know what you mean." He said, sitting up. "Me, you and Riku used to be able to go swimming together without fighting. And Riku and I would go surfing together. Everything's different now."
I sat up too. "You know what?" I exclaimed. "We should rekindle our friendship!"
"We should!" Sora replied. "But first!" He pulled out a remote. He pressed a button on it.
"We dance!" He screamed. Really catchy music was playing through the waterproof speaker on his house.
"Why?" I asked.
"I feel like dancing!" He replied. He was dancing like no one was watching! I wish I could do that, without feeling self-conscious
"Dance with me! Come on!" He exclaimed.
"Alright," We danced every single kind of dance. Even ballet! And you know what?! I didn't even care if anyone was watching! I think that right then was the happiest moment of my life. When we finally got tired we sat back down.
"That was fun!" I said. "But very random." I was breathing heavily from exhaustion.
"Yes it was," Sora replied.
"You're really fun to be around." I said.
"You too." He replied. It was still raining, which made the dancing more fun. He was sweating but the rain was washing it all off. We were so close together! We sat up at the same time and leaned in more. Much more. Before I knew it he was kissing me! I didn't pull away, but I didn't like the idea. He really was a good kisser! I mean he always brags about it. But he really is. And it was so romantic, because it was raining, and stuff. When it was over, I was both relieved and disappointed at the same time.
"Sora," I said.
"Let's just pretend it never happened," Sora said dismissively.
"Ok!" I ran home for supper.
"Why are you smiling so much?" My mom asked when I walked in.
"No reason, I'm just happy!" I said.
"Want some help with supper mom?" I asked. She gave me a job and I worked at it. After supper I went up to my room and straight to bed. I was still tired from all that dancing.
I kissed Sora, and you know what, it was somewhat enjoyable!
