Chapter 2
The weekend before the Kiss
Finally the weekend. Sora smiled in relief, they didn't have school tomorrow either. This was going to be a great weekend. He had it all planed out in his mind.
First, tonight, Riku was coming over to spend the night. They were going to watch scary movies late into the night, or rather early into the morning. Then they were going to catch the Friday double flick of classic humor at the theatre. Then they were going to go over to Tidus's and hang out. Well...then.. they had a whole Saturday and Sunday to do whatever. OK, so Sora didn't have all his weekend planned out, but, most of it. Well anyway, all he had to do was, wait. The bell was almost about to ring. Almost. Sora fidgeted impatiently in his chair, ready to sprint for the door. The last remaining ticking of the clock taunted him.
"Sora?"
"Yeah?" He rushed, looking to the red head who had called his name, "What is it Kairi?"
"Are you ok? You keep fidgeting." She smiled, amused.
"Yeah, just can't wait for the weekend" He stated anxiously.
"You have big plans?" Kairi questioned.
Sora only nodded, pulling his backpack from the floor to his desk, "Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun, me and Riku..."
"Riku?" Kairi questioned suddenly.
Sora lifted a brow, but dropped it suddenly, "Yeah" He nodded, confirming his answer.
Kairi nodded, "You two are always do'n something together." Kairi stated mater of factly.
"...Yeah" Sora nodded once more, unsure of Kairi's sudden flash of... sadness.
"What
time are you going to the movies?"
"O fun, yea I'll go, wait...mhh" She paused to think, "Riku's going to be there too?"
Sora lifted a brow again, "...Yeah"
"mhh, ok" Her smile turned into a mischievous grin, "Only if you can walk me home."
Sora nodded, "Ok"
""Ring""
Sora stood hastily, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then" He called to her, then walked out the door.
Freedom! Yes! Sora mingled through the crowd of teenagers in the halls, heading towards his locker.
After putting the unneeded items away, he shut his locker then began for the schools exit.
Where's Riku?
Sora glanced from left to right, looking through the anxious crowds of teenagers, eager to leave school grounds.
Not there, not here, maybe over there? Sora started to walk towards the side of the school, where the volleyball court was located.
Oh, there he is. There's Tidus too.
"Hey Sora!" Tidus greeted him with a wave and friendly smile.
Sora waved back, walking up to where he and Riku was standing.
"Sup Sora?" Riku smiled, "You ready for a long night filled with horror?" Riku lightly laughed.
Sora nodded vigorously, "Yea!"
Riku nodded in acceptance to his answer, "Just don't get to spooked." he warned.
Sora frowned, "Not before you." Sora teased back.
Riku shook his head grinning.
"Alright with all that put behind you two, are you still com'n over tomorrow?" Tidus questioned.
Both Sora and Riku nodded.
"Yea, you gonna come with us to the movies?" Riku questioned in return.
Tidus sighed, then rubbed at the back of his neck, "mmmhhh, alright" A goofy grin crossed his face, "Seven right?"
"Yea" Sora confirmed, "Also Kairi said she'd come too." Sora noticed a slight frown come across Riku's face at the mention of Kairi.
"Huh" Tidus seemed to notice it too, he was looking at Riku with a knowing grin, "Kairi huh?"
Sora nodded, "Yeah?" a puzzled look ran across Sora's face, noting a weird ...exchange of looks between Riku and Tidus. What's wrong with Kairi?
"Okay, well I'm out'a here, unfortunately I don't start my weekend till after practice." Tidus gave Riku one more look over before turning and heading toward the court.
"Huh" a sigh flew from the others lips, "Well ready Sora?" Riku turned to Sora.
Sora's puzzlement forgotten, a lazy smile planted it's self sternly, "Yeah."
The two started walking off the campus, towards the side of the school they approached Vincent, who usually waited there for Riku there. Silent nods of acknowledgment went through the three as the met, then they continued walking.
"So, Riku, do you have any homework ?" Sora addressed Riku knowing, regardless if he hadn't addressed Riku, he knew that the other would know he was talking to him. Vincent hardly took to engaging in conversation. Vincent was... loomy, he didn't even look like he moved much when he walked, he just floated. Vincent was kind of creepy, he seemed to lurk in the shadows, if you weren't looking for him, you wouldn't even notice he was there. Vampire. He smiled inwardly, Riku had given Vincent that nickname ever since they were kids. It fit so well.
"Yeah, Treppe's got us do'n something, but whatever. Then of course Leon has us do'n that packet." Riku stated nonchalant, knowing he wouldn't do it. Sora sighed, Riku hardly ever put an effort in doing his homework.
"Yeah, Cid has us studying how to make a gummi block warp. Then on Monday we're suppose to be able to build it." Sora sighed, "should be interesting." Sora lightly chuckled.
"What should be interesting ?" Riku asked, briefly stepping on the street, avoiding some broken glass on the side walk.
"How to tell my mom I failed my project." Sora gave a nervous laugh.
"Aw, come on. You couldn't fail even if you tried." Riku patted Sora's upper arm.
"When will you be back ?" Vincent's low hum softly trailed through the room.
Riku was currently stuffing his backpack with clothes, "Dunno, prolly Saturday or maybe even Sunday."
Vincent folded his arms, leaning back on the closed bedroom door, "You told Dad you'd be back Saturday."
Riku frowned, "yeah ?" eyeing Vincent annoyingly.
Vincent remained quiet for a moment, waiting to speak when Riku went back to packing his clothes, "Dad wanted you home before noon on Saturday."
Riku sighed frustrated, "I know, but we'll see. It depends."
Sora sat quietly on the bed, non verbal, feeling the tension in the room. Not really wanting any part of the conversation, he continued to pretend to be intensely interested in the comic he had in his hand. Vincent was speaking, it always sent a weird chill through him to hear Vincent speak. His voice seemed so low, that it didn't really even seem that he was speaking at all. It's like the air it's self had carried a voice into your ear. Not really sure where the voice could have originated from, it just seemed to travel without any noise only to make it's self apparent when it reached your ear. Vincent's voice was haunting, yet carried a soft comforting tune. Anyway, must read comic, must not look like I can hear. Must be invisible. Keep speaking, I'm not even here. Sora tried to become less obvious, wanting to absorb as much as Vincent was willing to release.
Vincent let out a small displeased grunt, "Dad wanted to spend Saturday with you, what do you mean it depends?"
Sora cringed at hearing Vincent's disappointment in his voice. He almost wanted to bud in and plead Riku into coming back Saturday. Wait a minute, Riku was coming to his house. Well he'd just hafta kick him out Saturday. Yeah, that's what he'll do.
Riku let out a long sigh then looked to Vincent, his eye's seemed like they were pleading Vincent to stop. He then retreated back to his packing, stuffing hastily the last few things he'd laid out on the bed.
"You wouldn't want to disappoint Dad would you?" Vincent's statement came almost, mockingly?
Riku only snorted at the comment, not looking up to meet Vincent's chilly glare.
Vincent stood from the door he'd been leaning on, placing his hand on the door knob, ready to open it, ready to leave. His body turned towards the door, but before he left he said one last thing.
"I'd be disappointed if you chose to disregard your father like that." Then with that Vincent made his exit. Leaving Riku to stare at the empty door frame. The comment left him, obviously, uneasy, he looked guilty.
Sora closed the comic he was hiding in and placed it on Riku's black night stand. Riku shrugged off the expression, then took his back pack and began to walk out his room. Sora followed close behind, Riku walked by Vincent's room, poking a head in, "I'll be back." then he walked off. Sora walked by the room, glancing in quickly to find Vincent with a soft smile on his face, quickly waving to the other he passed the room, following Riku to the door.
"Ugh, that movie was terrible." Sora scrunched up his face in disgust.
"Yeah it was pretty bad." Riku laughed, taking out the so called horror movie out of the DVD tray.
A wide yawn pushed it's way through Sora's mouth, Sora looked at his alarm clock by his bed.
2:11, well they made it this far, already Friday, maybe they should just go to sleep.
He felt Riku's tired gaze on him, "Your tired already ?" Riku accused, then a yawn escaped him.
Sora smiled then nodded, "You are too, besides we finished all our movies." Sora protested.
Riku slowly nodded then climbed back onto the futon, "Well what do you wanna do then ?"
"Well I don't want to sleep." Yeah I do...yawn.
Riku smirked, the small lit lamp across the room placed a delicate shadow on his features. His silver locks had been mangled, messy from laying down on the bed. His pajama's, long sleeve thin shirt and thin pants which were baggy at the bottom, had been crinkled. Riku looked like he just had gotten up from bed, which wasn't so far from the truth. Sora wondered if this was how Riku looked every morning, or perhaps he didn't move hardly enough in his sleep to look so... mangled. Riku's pajama's were plain black, then again Riku wasn't much into all the logo's that most teens are into. Sora himself wasn't into all that by any means, but he never avoided owning clothes with logo's on it, not like Riku did. His pajama's only consisted of a comfortable fit soft cotton undershirt with red pajama bottoms, much like Riku's own pair.
"Guess we could always play a game ?" Sora suggested, moving around in the covers, getting comfortable.
Riku joined Sora in moving around in the covers, finding his own comfort on the futon. When he finally stopped wiggling he hummed to himself in thought.
"OK," Riku stated before another yawn came over him, "How bout 'lie to me'?"
"Yea, you start" Sora agreed, rubbing at his eye's. Damn light ! Turn off, I command you ! Please don't make me get up. I'm so comfortable. Sora mentally cursed at the small lit lamp.
"Huh, ok, I love school sooo much !" Riku smirked.
Sora half laughed, stopping out of lack of energy to continue. He finally mustered up enough strength to push himself off the bed, walk over to the lamp and switched it off. Returning hastily back to the bed, getting situated again he continued the game, "I loved getting up to do that."
"mmhh, I love school food." Riku's tone held thick sarcasm.
"I love it when I forget my lunch at home" Sora groaned.
"You do that a lot" Riku laughed.
"Yeah yea, just go" Sora chuckled lightly.
"I love it when girls try to flatter me by talking about me right in front of my face, knowing I can hear everything their saying" Riku sneered.
Sora nudged Riku, "Hey least you got girls interested in you, I love that all the girls at school think I'm a dork."
Riku chuckled, "I could care less what their interested in, and no your not a dork."
"O so I am a dork !" Sora quickly cut Riku off.
Riku nudged Sora, "That wasn't my lie ! Stop fishing for compliments ! You already know your my favorite person." Riku chuckled, "I love it when my best friend thinks so lowly of himself."
Sora blushed, I'm not fishing for compliments, and I don't think lowly of myself! I was just kidding, "I really don't want to go the movies tomorrow."
"I really don't want to see you or Tidus tomorrow."
He left out Kairi, huh, must have forgot she was com'n, or ..... "I don't want to see Kairi tomorrow."
Riku turned to his side, his back towards Sora, he let out a sigh, "I want to see Kairi tomorrow."
Sora furrowed his brows. Is that real? "You do?" Wondering what with him and Kairi.
Riku fidgeted under the question, "Not really."
"Why not?" Sora asked, puzzled, then he remembered the silent exchange between Tidus and him.
"O, I dunno." Riku yawned.
"Yea you do!" Sora hastily shot back.
"Yea, she just get's on my nerves." Riku stated shortly.
Well I guess you don't like her, maybe I kind'a already knew that. You would've told me.
"I don't mind her..." huh...that kind of came out like a question.
Riku wrestled with his legs, "I know."
You know?
"I could tell, your always inviting her every where with you." Riku sounded annoyed.
Sora fixed at his pillow, "How come you never told me you didn't like her?"
"Cause it wasn't important" Riku flatly replied.
"But you tell me everything" I protested.
"I wouldn't hide anything from you Sora." A wide yawn came from the other.
"Sorry" Sora frowned, I don't mean to say you do.
"Why are you sorry?" Riku grunted, "Sora, I don't mind you liking Kairi. Even if she gets on my nerves." He was starting to nod off.
Why didn't he like Kairi?... Yawn well whatever, "Good night, Riku."
"Good night... mmhh.. So..ra."
Sora quickly exchanged the money for a ticket, then pushed his way through the doors of the theatre. Surprisingly enough he found the theatre to be close to empty. The few people who were there took to the seats in the back. Popcorn and drinks in their hands, they were in pairs. Here Sora was, walking through the row of seats, alone. It's not like he wasn't meeting with his friends, it just was he was meeting friends.
Ugh, why am I thinking about that anyway, I'm happy. Even if it's by myself... or.. well I have my friends. I don't want to date anyway. ....still would be nice though. To be noticed. Riku say's he hates it, but I bet a part of him enjoys it. Even if a little. Wonder if he found Tidus or Kairi yet.
Yawn
Sora waved to the approaching three, smiling at the two newcomers. Kairi walked through the row towards him. Her hair was pinned back from her face, every time she blinked shine came from her glittered eyelids. She wore makeup, making her appear older then she was. Her pink tank top held to her figure tightly, rising slightly above her white skirt that only went down so far. Her bare legs seemed to drag down forever, Sora found himself blushing, as he caught himself openly staring at Kairi. Good thing they were in a theatre, or he'd be caught looking red as a tomato.
"Hi Sora" Kairi greeted him, her voice almost sang, she sounded so innocent. Yet she looked so.... Sora blushed again. He tried to cover his embarrassment, "Hi.. kai.. ri"...o yeah that covered up his embarrassment real well.
"Sup Sora ?" Tidus walked in behind Kairi, who was now seated to his right, Tidus taking a seat to his left, Riku to the left of Tidus.
"Hey, glad you could come" Sora found it easy to talk to Tidus. ...Maybe I should just concentrate on that. Instead.....instead of looking at Kairi. She looks, great. OK she looks hot. Oh ...I'm still looking at Tidus. He's looking at me weird. Probably wondering why I find him so interesting right now. .... well Tidus, it's cause, well just look at her! What is she trying to do? Why is she dressed like that? Who's she trying to impress.... me? Could it be... me? She's sitting next to me! It's gotta be me. So then this is what I wanted right? Someone to notice me. Mhh... wonder what she's looking at. I'll just take a quick peek.
Sora turned his head from Tidus, who was feeling uneasy with Sora's intense gaze into his eyes. Trying his hardest to be unnoticed, to be sly, Sora quickly glanced out of the corner of his eye, there she was. Staring aim-fully towards the screen, Sora looked to the screen.
Oh, the movie started. Hm. Wonder what Riku thought about the way Kairi is all... dressed up tonight. We're just wear'n what we usually wear, jeans, shirt, shoes. Not much to our appearance. Riku wouldn't care what she wore right? I've never seen Kairi, look so.... mature? I never really looked at her like that. She's got, a girly shape, a curvy type figure.
Sora fidgeted, why was all this going through his head ? He heard a light giggle from his right, Kairi. She was smiling admirably towards the screen. Her frail bare shoulders lightly shook as she giggled. A frustrated sigh came from his lips, catching her attention. Her smile straightened.
"What's the matter?" She leaned in, closer, her fragrance tickled Sora's nose. He took note of the concern in her eyes, she was so close. Sora found his eyes dart down to her chest, her skin was glowing from absorbing the light from the screen, the shirt was curved out way, giving an invitation to his eyes. Sora blushed quickly as he turned his attention back to the screen, feeling her cool, assuring, hand rest on his arm, he mentally screamed.
With a quick jerk he was up from his seat, falling clumsily over Tidus, who in return gave a noise of protest.
"Sorry! Gotta pee... Gotta go!" Sora quickly offered his rushed explanation.
Then with that he climbed from the other boy to only get his feet tangled with Tidus's foot, he fell once more, this time the upper half of his body landing on Riku.
Riku offered helping hands, accompanied with a laugh, "Need some help?" aquarium eye's softened, noting the helpless disposition of the other.
"Yeah, no! Fine, bathroom!" Sora once more began to assure his attacks were of good nature.
Riku wrapped strong arms around Sora, lifting the other while standing himself. Sora, embarrassed hid behind the taller youth. His face was somewhat hidden between the other's arm and torso. The two began to walk, Riku held his arm protectingly around Sora's shoulder, not letting the other out of his grasp until they were out into the hall.
"What's the matter?" Riku questioned, a smirk on his face, clearly amused.
Sora walked towards the bathroom, he wasn't intending to say anything just yet. Riku walked slowly behind him, not questioning any further.
A few splashes of water to the face, Sora finally felt like he was.... calming down.
Riku stood against the wall, his arms folded out in front of him, "So, you gonn'a tell me what's got you all excited?"
Sora looked up from his paper towels, that were damp from his face. His eyes were wide, almost terrified that he'd been caught.
Riku looked intensely, yet calmly into Sora's eyes, then he started to laugh.
Sora threw the towels in the trash then looked back to Riku. A puzzled look still on his face.
Riku shook his head, "It couldn't have been because you had to pee, you would've gone"
He was right ! .... oh god.... I just completely gave my self away. Sora let a nervous laugh escape his lips.
"Well?" Riku interrogated, his tone seemed more then knowing.
"I... uh." Sora tried but found his voice nervous. What's the matter with me? So what if I got uh... heh a hard on look'n at some flesh. "I..saw Kairi's... um.. Cleavage... her bra." See, wasn't that hard.... er.. heh. I never saw Kairi like that before. A blush ran across his face again.
Riku lifted a brow, "That's it? That's what got you all hot and bothered?" Riku questioned, flatly.
What do you mean that's it? Sora frowned, "yea...?"
Riku shook his head, then a sigh escaped his lips, "You see Kairi in a bathing suite all the time!"
"Yeah! Well, it was different now." Sora humbly protested.
"Oh?"
"Well, you!" Sora started.
"Me?" Riku frowned.
"Yeah!" Sora continued, "You got me started thinking about all that anyway. I never thought about Kairi like that." Sora folded his arms, taking a stance as anyone would who was shifting blame.
"How did I get you started into all of that?" Riku asked, justifiably so.
"What you said last night. You know bout me liking Kairi. I never thought about it before, about liking somebody before." Sora absently looked down to his shorts. Remembering the problem earlier, he blushed again. At least he was able to get that under control. No good trying to jerk off in a movie house. Sora's blush darkened.
Riku's brows furrowed, then a sigh escaped his lips. He was silent for a while, then his features softened, a smile replaced the frown, "Well now what?" He asked lowly, almost as if he was speaking to himself.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, walking closer to Riku.
Riku jumped a little at the question, almost as if he forgot he asked it.
Sora feeling the need to ask, seeming an opportune time, "When's the first time you ever looked at someone and.... um"
Riku smirked, "popped one?"
Sora nodded, looking away from Riku's eye's. This is kind of embarrassing.
"Years ago" Riku simply stated.
Sora frowned, then shot his eye's back to Riku, "Years ago?"
Riku nodded, "about two."
"But you were only fourteen!" Sora protested.
"And you were only thirteen!" Riku commented back fastly, then he quickly covered his eye's. He was turning red. Wait a minute.... what's going on?
"Some people don't go through maturity the same time." Riku quickly said, running his hand through his hair. Mhh, he's not blushing anymore.
"You think you matured to young?" Why was he embarrassed? It's not like it's not natural. Wait.... I'm embarrassed.
Riku looked at me puzzled for a moment, then he returned to a satisfied smirk, "No, just like I said we all go through it at different times." He laughed, "Well Sora, you've made a real break through today. I'm sure by next session your voice will be much deeper."
Sora looked at Riku, wide eyed, "WHAT? Hey!" Sora began to reach for the other's platinum hair, rubbing knuckles to the others skull, "I've already hit puberty!"
Riku laughed, ruffling Sora's hair, "I know, I know!"
"Hey, what did I miss?" Tidus's voice broke through the fit's of laughter and pulling of hair.
Sora let his arms fall to his side, a grin in place, "Nothing, the movie isn't over is it?"
Tidus shook his head, "No, but it got boring so Kairi and I decided to leave and find you two."
"Oh, that sucks, did you wanna hang out till the next one starts?" Sora started to walk towards the door, Riku followed behind.
"Neh, no let's go back to my place." Tidus held the door open for the two as they exited.
"Alright" Sora nodded, walking out into the hall, there she was. Kairi stood there, looking at him with bright eyes and a smile, her lips shiny of gloss. Sora took in Kairi, though this time it was different from the first. She still looked older, she still looked good, but he didn't find himself falling into her. As he did in the dark theatre.
"Sora?"
He heard his name, from behind him. Turning to answer, "Yeah?"
"You gonn'a ask her to come or you gonn'a just stare at her?" Tidus snickered, low enough, though he was sure Kairi must've heard him. Sora paled, then nudged Tidus.
"Kairi we're gonn'a go hang out at Tid..." What is she do'n? Oh she's got her purse, a phone, the phone is ringing. She was answering the phone.
Kairi turned to the side, saying lowly something to the phone. Then she flipped it off, putting the cell phone back into her purse. Kay, now she's looking at me again. She's... sad? She's walking up to me, closer.
"I'm sorry, Sora will you walk me home? My mother just called, my aunts in town, she want's me home pronto." She giggled. Home? That's right.
"Okay" I turned to Riku and Tidus and shrugged, "I promised to walk her home, I'll be by later?"
Tidus nodded, "Alright see ya." Tidus looked to his left, gave Riku a smirk, "You go'n with 'em or you gonn'a escort me home?"
"Oh, no! That's ok, I can walk Kairi home, you two go ahead." Sora pulled up his hands in defense. Riku gave Sora a knowing look, then with a brow raised, he shrugged, "OK, see you in a little."
Sora waved to the two boys, then started his walk with Kairi. For a while they were quiet, the only sound was of his shoes, which were remotely quiet compared to her huge sandals. They had to be about three inches. No wonder why she looked so tall, she's about the same height as me... ok so she raised a bit higher then me. But, she's cheating.
"Hey Sora?"
Sora came from his thoughts, looked to his side, and a little up to meet Kairi's gaze, "Yeah?"
"How long have you known Riku?" Her voice was unsure.
Where did that question come from? "My whole life," Sora answered flatly.
"Oh, yeah that's right." Kairi nodded, "So you pretty much know him really well? Do you know everything about him?"
Sora glanced down both ways of the street before gesturing to Kairi to cross with him, "I probably don't know everything about him." Sora smiled, reaching the other side of the street, "But close enough I guess."
"Oh, he doesn't really talk to me." Kairi sighed, disappointingly.
Sora smoothly slid his hands in the pockets on his jeans. That's right, he doesn't like you. Sora lifted his head towards the sky, looking at the stars above them. They twinkled in rhythm, one shining while one dimmed only to switch roles, they made the sky breath with life. While the moon sat comfortable, lazily in the sky, never changing color, just traveling slowly but aim fully to escape from view, allowing the earth to swallow it whole with ease.
"Thank you for walking me home." Kairi rubbed at her bare arms, nervously, "Sora?"
"What is it Kairi?" Why did she say my name like that? Like she's unsure of something. Am I making her uncomfortable?
She looked from me to the ground quickly, taking a few steps before she spoke once more, "Does Riku like me?"
Sora paused briefly, then continued his steps. What?
"It's just that, well..." Kairi continued, a faint tint of red danced to her face.
Oh god.
"I like him." Kairi giggled, pushing the red hair at the back of her neck.
All at once Sora felt, embarrassed, jealous, relieved, anxious, confused and very much overwhelmed. OK so Kairi didn't like me, and she wasn't all dressed up for me. She hadn't noticed my reasoning for running out of the theatre, that was good. She didn't notice me eyeing her... strangely. She liked Riku. She was probably paying more attention to Riku then me anyway. She liked Riku. She still thinks of me as a friend, that's good too, least she doesn't hate me. Wait.... Riku, doesn't like her. Sora ran a hand through his hair, this was weird.
"Shouldn't you be telling Riku this?" My voice rang with agitation. Why is she telling me?
Kairi frowned, "I wanted to ask you first."
"Ask me what?" I tried to make my voice sound calmer.
"What Riku thought of me" unsurety filled her words, the frown still steady on her face.
"I.." great, now what do I say? "I don't know Kairi." Okay so that was a lie, what am I suppose to say? "Why didn't you want Riku to walk you home then?" That sounded a bit cynical.
She looked from the ground to me, her eye's pleading, "I want to ask you a favor"
I slowly nodded, "Um..ok?"
She sighed softly, running both her hands behind her back, "Well you find out for me? I don't want to tell him just yet."
"Why not?" Wouldn't that be easier, just to ask? Sora was growing impatient, they were a couple of houses away from Kairi's.
Kairi simply shrugged, "I don't want him to know, if he doesn't like me."
Rejected, she's being afraid of being... rejected. Sora frowned, Kairi always seemed to be confident though, maybe she liked him more then... liked. Does she... love him? The thought ran shivers down his back. Can you really fall in love, so young?
"Sora, will you find out for me? Please?" Kairi asked humbly, sweetly, confidently.
Sora sighed, "I..." She wanted to know if Riku liked her, but he doesn't. What should he do? Lie? Tell her to find out her self? Frustrated he shook his head, "Kairi I think it'd be easier if you'd just tell him." There, it's not my problem. Oh god, here comes that look. Don't look at me like that.
"Sora, please?" Her voice came low, pleading, confident.
They were now standing in front of her house. Sora was relieved to have an end to this... awkward night. Still she continued to give him the largest, saddest, eye's.
"I'll ask him for you." Finally giving in. This was stupid, he should've just told her to began with.
"Thank you Sora" She smiled then turn to walk towards her house, "Good night"
"Good night." Sora replied to the figure walking away from him.
"Hey! Glad you came, we were start'n to wonder bout ya!" Tidus pulled Sora through the door, then locking it behind him, "My parents are out'a town, ya know big tournament and all for Dad. So that means we get the house all to ourselves!"
Sora grinned, "Just the three of us?" He laughed, "don't people usually throw big party's when their parents leave 'em home alone?" Sora followed Tidus through his house, then up the stairs to his room.
"Yeah right, invite a bunch of looser pop's from school, then clean up their mess tomorrow?" Tidus spat out with disgust, "No thanks, I like the company of my friends only."
"Yeah me too." Sora agreed waving a hello to Riku who was currently laid back on the bed, reading a comic.
Tidus sat at the end of the bed motioning Sora to have the chair at the computer desk in his room.
"So, Sora" Tidus said his name teasingly, "How was your walk with Kairi?"
Sora gave a nervous laugh, if you only knew, "It was ..fine" Shut up Tidus!
Tidus smirked, "Well in all honesty, I'm glad she didn't come over."
"You don't like Kairi?" either? Sora sighed, what was with everyone and Kairi?
Tidus lifted his brow, "No, not so much that, well actually yea." Tidus shrugged.
Sora frowned, he noticed Riku eyeing Tidus strangely.
Tidus felt the aquarium eye's on him, then looked behind him giving a soft chuckle, "What? We all know what she's like." Then with that Tidus pierced his lips shut. He quickly glanced to Sora, confusion ran across his face then he shook his head, "never mind."
What the Hell is going on? This was starting to piss Sora off. What was with all the silent looks, the whole 'not liking' Kairi? ...Then looking at me like that?
Tidus clapped his hands together then rubbed them together hastily, "OK! So who's up for getting drunk off their asses ?"
Sora, forgetting his earlier agitation, "..eh?"
"I'm up for that" Riku grinned, putting down the comic.
Tidus looked behind him his smile brightening, then returned his gaze back to Sora, "Well, Sora? You up for it."
Sora fidgeted under all the two pairs of eye's, "um..."
"Of course you are, ya?" Came the heavy accented, tanned man who suddenly appeared at the door. He held a brown paper bag, and a case of beer.
Tidus stood greeting the orange haired man standing at his bedroom door, "Hey Wakka! Perfect timing" Tidus motioned him to come in.
"Hey Wakka" Riku greeted him, a grin placed on his face as he eyed the hard liquor Wakka was pulling from the bag.
"Riku, in your honor man, I got you your favorite." He held up the brown liquor.
"Ah, Wakka, some Jack Danolds... thank you." Riku confirmed, his grin turning to a smile.
"Well what about me?" Tidus almost pouted.
Wakka rolled his eyes, "Have some patience I got your favorite too."
"Oooo!" Tidus applaud as Wakka brought out another bottle of blue liquid, "MMhhh Hypnotic!"
Sora felt a little.... childish, "Hi Wakka" Sora didn't have a favorite.
Wakka smiled, "Here Sora, I got this for you man" Wakka handed him some whine coolers. Black cherry flavor, "here, taste just like cool aide ya?" Wakka chuckled heavily.
Sora pouted, he knew Wakka was trying to be considerate, but he wasn't a baby.
"Thanks" Sora took the pack of drinks from Wakka.
"So you gonna get all shit faced with us?" Wakka asked, a wide grin on his face.
"um...ok." Sora said lowly.
"But we need to play a game, let's play truth or dare. Do or drink!" Tidus chirped in.
"Tidus, your such a girl." Riku smiled, "But ok, I'll go for that."
Wakka had risen a curious brow at Tidus then smirked to Riku's comment, "Yeah ok."
Tidus frowned, "Just try'n to keep things interesting."
Wakka handed to each of them a shot glass, "I go first, since I brought the goods." Wakka rubbed at the back of his neck, "What to ask or dare a bunch of kids."
Sora shook his head, "Well you hang out with us."
Wakka smirked, Sora fidgeted at that... great, what have I done?
"Sora, first victim"
Sora nodded, "Truth"
"When's the last time you watched some porn?"
Sora blushed, "um.." Then opened the bottle of whine cooler, "I'll drink."
Wakka laughed, seating himself on the floor against the bed.
MMhh, this taste's pretty good actually, "Tidus?"
Tidus shifted from the bed, bringing his legs to cross in front of him, "Dare."
"OOO bold!" Wakka cheered.
Tidus gave Wakka a knowing smile.
Mhh.. dare... what should I make him do ? Sora thought hard, "OK, I dare you to miss one practice of volleyball."
Tidus shook his head, "I'll drink to that." pouring himself some of the blue drink into his shot glass. After a quick swallow, he looked to Wakka, "truth or dare?"
"Truth" Wakka smirked, already pouring a shot of some tequila.
"Who, at your job, would you have mad passionate monkey sex with?"
Wakka smiled, "I'll answer and drink to that!" Wakka swallowed the yellow substance, "My boss."
"Truth or dare Riku?" Wakka asked, opening a beer.
"Dare" Riku boldly answered, opening the Jack Danolds.
"I dare you to hook me up with that fine sister of yours ya?" Wakka laughed, drinking from the bottle of beer heavily.
Riku rolled his eye's taking a shot, "Tidus?"
"Truth." Tidus poured another shot.
"Do you ever fantasize about Treppe?"
Tidus laughed loudly, "Ew, she's to uptight for me."
"But I bet you could loosen her up." Riku snorted.
Tidus smirked, "not as much as Wakka's mom."
"Hey! leave my mom out'a this ya?" Wakka chuckled, pouring himself another shot.
Tidus, very pleased with himself laughed along with Wakka, Riku merely shook his head. Sora giggled, taking another gulp of his... cool aide.
"OK ok," Tidus began, taking another shot, "Sora?"
"Truth" Sora smiled lightly, amused with game so far.
"OK, Sora." Tidus glared in thought at the other, finally after a couple of empty moments, "Do you have a crush?"
Sora's smile dropped, "I... uh" Shut up Tidus! ...Kairi? "Well I'm.. uh.... No" Sora gave an assuring smile.
Tidus seemed content enough from Sora's broken answer, for he didn't pry any more.
"Riku?" Sora took another drink.
"Truth" Riku held another shot in his hand, ready to down it.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend ?" Sora found the question out of his mouth before he even thought of it.
Riku paled, his eye's had frozen almost in.... fear? His emerald eye's locked onto Sora's blue ones, he didn't make a sound, instead he just moved the shot glass to his mouth. His eye's watered as he took the drink.
Sora frowned, he sipped at his drink. Why didn't Riku want to answer that? Why did he look surprised at my question? Why didn't he have a girlfriend? He could date anybody he wanted. Every girl in school wanted him. I'm not blind I can see how they look at him, they practically throw themselves at him. So out of all of them.... Riku chose no one. Sora mentally pouted, it was a legitimate question.
Riku cleared his throat, breathing heavily, after that challenging swallow, "Tidus?"
Tidus grinned, "Truth"
Riku gained his composure, breathing normally now, a sly grin was placed on his face, "What is it with you and the ladies?"
Tidus lifted a curious brow, "huh?" He was pouring himself another blue shot.
Riku frowned, "You have all these girls after you but you don't catch one, why not?"
Sora frowned, look who's talking! He mentally protested.
Tidus giggled, he was blushing, the so called hypnotic was kicking in, "Well, you see, I dun like who's throwing it at me... heh." A mischievous grin spread, "Right back at you!"
"Truth" Riku replied, dryly.
"Same question." Tidus eyed Riku, an obvious expression of amusement was placed on the blondes face.
Riku frowned, "eh... same answer." Riku took another shot.
"Sora?" Riku ran a hand through his platinum hair, "Truth or dare?"
Sora shrugged, "Uh...dare."
Riku eyed Sora, he let an evil grin spread across his face, "I dare you to take a shot of hypnotic."
"Hey!" Tidus protested, cradling the half empty bottle.
Sora shrugged, can't be that bad could it? Ugh can't be any worse then what Riku's drinking, "Ok" Sora reached for the bottle, filling the shot glass Wakka gave him. Well it looks.... blue, like cool aide, hope it's not as strong as that JD... or tequila. Here it goes.
Sora took the glass and quickly downed the contents inside it. Sora scrunched his face, waiting for the liquor to make it's self more then known in his mouth.
His face relaxed, his eye's became some what wide, a soft smile crept to his lips, "Hey, this is pretty good!" He absently licked his lips. Riku looked intently towards Sora, his eye's some what shadowed by his strands of silver that fell caressingly down on his face. He was looking between the strands eyeing the other, eyeing Sora's lips.
Sora gave a nervous laugh, "What?" He questioned the other who was slouched back on the bed, "It tastes... good?" Sora stated nervously, not sure what to think about the way Riku was eyeing him strangely, "It's a lot better then the stuff you drink." Sora quickly, happily rushed.
"Yeah, I know that's why it's my favorite!" Tidus happily chirped in, gladly joining the other in praising the hypnotic.
Sora nodded, agreeing further. "Mhh, ok" He looked to Wakka who was currently smiling into the bottle of Tequila. Sora raised an inquisitive brow, but decided it best not to ask what Wakka was lost in thought about. He then shifted his sight to Tidus who was eyeing, hungrily at the bottle Sora held. Sora smirked, he poured himself another shot then smiled as Tidus watched as he sipped at it lovingly.
"Hey!" Tidus protested once more, "If your gonna drink it ya gotta do it like a man!"
With that Sora giggled then poured the rest of the shot into his mouth.
"That's right!" Tidus cheered.
Sora then took noticed of Riku still watching him, but blankly now. His face held no emotion, no curiosity, he looked almost like a statue. He might be bored, "Riku?"
Riku didn't reply just continued to look blankly over at Sora. Tidus was oblivious to the strange expressions coming from the other behind him, in that he continued to cheer at random things, "Go SOra! I knew you could do it!" Tidus looked to the orange haired man seating below him, "Go WAKKA and your boss!" He laughed loudly. Wakka, however, just shrugged a smile planted on his face.
Sora couldn't help but laugh at the drunken state of Tidus, he's just naturally happy. All the time.
"Go me with my Volleyball Skills!" Tidus continued, raising his fist in the air at every cheer he did.
"Go Riku with his sex appeal!" Tidus paled, his fist dropped from the air, he turned a bright red, then he cut out in laughter. He held his sides, his laughter was rich and deep, tears were falling from his eyes.
Sora laughed with the other, mostly because Tidus was so drunk, it was funny to see Tidus this uncontrollably cheery.
Riku broke his gaze at Sora, and looked questioningly to Tidus, he laughed lightly, "Tidus your such a girl."
Tidus nodded, "I know I know!" He mustered between his laughter.
"Ok.. so, Riku, Truth or dare?" Sora said between a light chuckle.
Riku smiled, "Truth"
Sora suddenly had a grand question, "What do you think about Kairi?"
Riku's smile dropped, he looked to Sora, "I think she's a snob, and will walk over anybody to get what she wants. She's manipulative and selfish."
Sora's smile dropped, his brows drew together. He was shocked, how could anybody think that about Kairi? She wasn't like that at all.
Riku let out a frustrated sigh, "You asked" He shrugged. He averted his aquarium eyes from Sora.
Tidus stopped his laughing, Wakka was now staring intensely into the wall, Riku sat on the bed, his arms delicately placed on his lap. The room filled with tension. Sora frowned, "Why?.... why?" He waited until Riku shifted his gaze back to Sora, "why do you think that?" Sora couldn't believe Riku thought so negatively about Kairi, all those times when they were together, they always use to hang out with her, on the island, swimming building tree houses. She was their childhood friend.
Riku glared, emptily yet fully into Sora's eyes, "Because it's true" He said so dryly so flatly.
Sora frowned, "I knew you didn't like her, but I never knew you... hated her?"
Riku grunted, "I hate her" he said, confirming Sora's question.
Sora looked from Riku to the floor, "She..."
"I know" Riku finished what Sora almost didn't want to say, "she really doesn't like me Sora, it's not about that." He said as if leading to something.
"Sora, nobody likes her...cept you" Tidus put in quietly.
Riku shot Tidus a quick glare, who, sense his back was turn, didn't catch it. Sora however caught it.
"I guess" Sora frowned, what was wrong with everybody? What are they talking about? He let out a wide yawn, then he stood, stretching.
"Hey what's the matter ? Going home already?" Tidus pouted.
Sora nodded slowly, "Yeah I kind of got tired, think it's the alcohol." Sora gave a soft smile to Tidus.
"I think we out'a go, besides Riku has to go home early tomorrow."
Riku jerked up from looking at the liquid in his glass, a questioning expression was placed on his face. A soft sigh came from him, "Neh, I'm not in much of a ...mood to walk anywhere..." His voice was slurred, "To... um.. drunk?" He took the glass in his hand waving it slowly in front of his face, "Wouldn't mind my company.... eh, Tidus ?"
Tidus let a light sigh escape his lips, followed by a nervous laugh, "You can stay."
Riku nodded, "Right, so Sora... I'll see you later then."
Sora lightly shrugged, "ok," wonder if he's mad at me. Sora eyed Riku who in turn gave Sora a soft smile, then went back to staring down into the little glass of his.
"Come on Sora I'll walk you home ya?" Wakka stood, stretching his limbs. He wobbled a little, "Woah, earthquake." He laughed, amused at his own state.
Sora lifted a brow, "Wakka, can you even walk to the door?" I can walk myself, I'm not a child.
Wakka nodded, "Eh?" He stumbled to the door, "...Wooo, that stupid stuff always hit's me so fast."
Tidus laughed, falling foreword on the bed, letting his head rest on his hands, "your so drunk easy.." A puzzled look on his face, "or drunk'n light... mmhh that hypnotic was nummy."
Are we just going to pretend it wasn't awkward in here two seconds ago?"Alright, I'll catch up with you guys later then." Sora nodded to Tidus, who gave him a friendly wave.
"I'm com'n ya?" Wakka straightened, finding the door to be a great supporter.
Sora walked from the room, having the orange haired man, walk slowly behind him. Wakka really meant to walk him home, least he wasn't stupid enough to say he'd drive him home. Sora stopped from where he stood on the stairs, Wakka was taking the steps slowly but surely. They entered the living room, where Wakka decided to take a break on the couch. Sora sighed, "I'm going to go, and you stay right there.... ok?" Sora commanded.
Wakka nodded in defeat, "Sorry."
"Don't worry bout it ok?" was Wakka apologizing for the tension? Or just being drunk?
Wakka nodded again, a slow smile crept on his face, "To be so young and naive." Then with that he stretched out on the couch.
A frustrated sigh came from Sora. He opened the front door, only to be standing in front of Tidus's older brother. Sora let a hesitant laugh escape him, almost as if he'd been caught doing something naughty.
A light "mh" escaped the older man.
"Hi, um...I was just leaving." Sora rushed, as if an excuse.
In the cool air of night, through all the shadows on the front porch, and through the nervous fidgeting eyes of Sora, he caught the others sudden expression of.... concern?
"Want a ride home?" his voice was smooth, calm, and welcoming.
"Um, I don't want to bother you... I..." Sora once again rushed his words out of his mouth.
"I wouldn't mind, come on Sora" He turned from Sora, walking towards the car parked in front of the house.
Sora followed the taller blonde, "Thanks... Cloud." A light smile formed when he said the other's name. Tidus was lucky to have a brother like him, always looking out for him... even his friends. A faint blush came to his cheeks, I wonder if he smelled alcohol on me. He opened the door to the black car, seating himself. If he was a big brother, he'd be like Cloud.... except... he didn't know much about Cloud. Other then he was Tidus's brother, and what the inside of his car looked like. Sora absently looked over to Cloud, he was putting on his seat belt then he was starting the car. He always looked like he was always in constant thought.
"Sora?" Cloud's voice came, questioningly.
Sora froze, "Oh... um sorry, I was just thinking." He'd been caught staring at the other.
"About?" his voice was unsure, his expression changing from the usually determined one to a enquiring one.
Good question, I'd ask it too if I caught someone staring at me too... then just excused it with ...'O sorry.... just thinking' .... what am I thinking... how to answer this... 'I was just thinking that I know you... but I don't know you at all?' ...well it's a start...
"I was just wondering what um, you do?" Yeah! Great! Ha ha I can make a conversation go all on my own. Sora gave a light smile, "Like your job and um, what you do, like for fun or whatever."
Cloud nodded, then began to drive off from his house. He was silent for a while, his only focus was the first few moments of driving.
"I work at a car garage most of the time, on call at the restaurant downtown for the rest of the time."
"You don't sound to happy bout either" Sora asked, amused by the shortness of the other's tone.
"Their jobs" Cloud flatly replied.
"What do you like to do then, in your free time?" Sora sniffed lightly, trying to see if his breath was heavy of alcohol.
Cloud shifted in his seat, adjusting the review mirror to his new position. Then he let a sigh come from his lips, "What free time?"
Sora frowned, was that a joke? Should I laugh, or should I pry?
"huh... so no free time?" Sora nodded, answering his own question, well what free time would he have anyway? He is, after all, always busy. Even now, he's driving me home.
"You keep busy?" Sora's thought escaped his lips lowly, but enough for Cloud to shift again in his seat.
"Oh sorry!" Sora quickly offered. I'm really glad he's driving me home.
"You apologize to much" his words were comforting, "I don't mind talking with you, if I did I wouldn't have offered to drive you home, it's only natural for someone your age."
What's natural for my age? To pry? O god, he must think I'm some annoying kid, but he said he didn't mind.
"Yes" The simply stated word would've gone missed, if it hadn't been for the long sigh after Cloud had said it, "I keep myself busy."
"Why?" Sora quickly asked. Why do I have to be so nosey?
Cloud shifted his gaze from the road, his deep blue eyes softened, he ran long pale fingers through his spiked hair. The blonde strands danced with the movement, then falling back into place, almost as if they'd been never touched. His attention back to the road, "Why not? I haven't anything going for me. So I'd might as well drowned myself in work until I find out exactly what it is I want."
"What you want ?" Sora listened intently with every word Cloud spoke. His voice carried such a soothing, comforting tune. He liked to listen to him speak, almost like with Vincent. Except it was different, with Vincent he hardly spoke, so Sora gave him his full attention when he did.
"What I'm looking for out of life." Clouds words carried a very defined tone of sadness.
Was this guy even enthusiastic about anything? There had to be something.
"There must be something that you like to do... even if you don't have free time... you must be stealing time? Even if a little." Sora lightly laughed. I must sound like an idiot. Ha ha...
A soft chuckle came from Cloud, they were pulling up in front of Sora's house.
"What do you do?" Cloud avoided answering. He gave Sora a crooked grin, as he turned off the engine, "In all your free time?"
Sora shrugged, "I don't know, whatever, hang out, play video games, go to movies. Whatever my friends and I come up with." Friends, that's right, Cloud must have friends.
"What do you do with your friends?" Sora asked, almost impatiently.
Cloud rested his elbow on the arm rest on his door, rubbing his fingers against each other. Almost like he was rolling something between them.
"Talk."
Talk.... That's it? No video games, no movies, no sword fighting... Just... Talk?
"Oh, we do that too." That sounded stupid, of course they talked.
"As well as drink?" Cloud amusingly stated.
Sora's eye's widened a little, "Oh, yea.. uh that's" Crap he noticed! ...am I drunk? Nope... yea? Sora shifted uneasily in his seat.
Cloud smiled, "It's ok Sora, I'm not going to lecture you. Just as long as you keep the drinking under control. You don't want to be a raving alcoholic at what fifteen?"
Sora nodded slowly, "I'm almost sixteen, but... yeah." Sora nodded, looking out the window. Hey that's my house!
Cloud nodded, "I'm not worried for you though. I trust you, to take care of yourself."
Well of course you can! I'm not a kid....
"How's school?" Cloud had pitched his tone, "getting good grades?"
"Yeah, good grades" Sora smirked, "I'm a... nerd, at school" He hid himself under his hair as he lowered his head.
Only a nerd, not popular, not noticed.
"Making good grades doesn't make you a nerd. Just makes you smart." Cloud scolded the other, "anyway, what would it matter? You have friends... don't you?"
Sora almost confirmed but Cloud left him no time, "As long as you have one's dear to you, then what does anybody else matter?" Cloud's word's, once again held a tint of... sadness.
Sora frowned, Cloud was kind of depressing.
"Anyway I'm sure you know that, you seem the type." A light, satisfied smile came from the other.
"The type." Sora nodded, confirming. Why was Cloud giving him a prep talk. Sora agreed and understood the things the blonde said, but he still felt uncomfortable with his social 'status' at school. He wouldn't mind a few extra friends.
"Who values those close to you, the type." Cloud nodded, confirming himself.
"I guess your right, I know I can trust the friends I have." Sora smiled, bringing his eyes to meet the other's. Cloud had the type of eyes that could pull anyone into his deep blue orbs. Almost mocking everyone, the hue was so enriched, so captivating. It was easy to loose yourself.
"eh... Sora?" Cloud's nervous words pulled Sora from the sea he was swimming in.
With a blush Sora jumped, "yea?"
"I like talking to you" his words came sincere, along with the smile he offered while saying them.
"Yeah me too, we should hang out more, rather then drive around everywhere. Thank you by the way, driving Tidus and us around everywhere." Sora smiled, his blush long gone.
"I wouldn't want to impose on Tidus's friends."
Sora took off his seat belt, "Then we'll just do something together then"... the blush returned, "I mean if you want?"
"How bout tomorrow then?" Cloud almost rushed.
Blush gone, pale in...."to..morrow?" Sora swallowed hard, wow Cloud must really be bored.
Cloud hesitantly nodded, his cheeks turned a pale shade of red, "I mean if you want..." he nervously asked.
"Oh, sure...Um when?" Wonder why he's so nervous, he probably doesn't hang around anyone that's younger then him. I bet he thinks I'm mature... and cool too! Haha, I'm not a total nerd.
"Whenever, just call me" Cloud reached into his pocket bringing out a pen, then finding a napkin lying on the back seat, he jotted down a number, "Here, it's to my cell."
Sora eyed the napkin, "Cell.."
Cloud laughed fully, "You should hear yourself, how much did Wakka give you?"
Sora shot up with a puzzled expression, "Wakka?"
Cloud lifted a knowing brow, "When ever I see Wakka's car at our house, late at night, no parents in sight, I know there's alcohol involved."
Sora gave a hesitant laugh, "heh, yeah."
Cloud shrugged, "It makes no difference to me, Tidus can take care of himself, he's old enough. I'll only interfere if something starts getting out of control."
Sora stared, completely out of admiration, "Wow, your so cool!" ... O good, I sound mature.
"So are you" Cloud offered, "Whenever you want to do something just call ok?"
Sora nodded, "Alright, thank you for the ride" He closed the door then walked to his house.
Sunday afternoon and nothing to do. Sora flipped through the pages of his comic. A frustrated moan escaped him. Well guess I could study.... neh. Riku didn't come over to get his clothes.... Sora eyed the back pack setting in the corner of the room. He was so short with me on the phone.
"Hanging out with Tidus later today....maybe after school sometime."
"But don't you need your clothes?"
"neh, not really. I'll pick it up some other time.... to busy."
"ok"
"ok"
Sora frowned, it's not like it would be taking up your time. What does it matter to me anyway. It's not like I'm missing my clothes. Wonder what he's going to do with Tidus, how did Tidus become so popular anyway. Am I jealous? Cloud, I didn't call him, I was going to but I didn't want to look desperate for attention.
Sora put the comic down, then picked up his cordless on his night stand.
I'm going to call him... Wonder if he's off?
Sora smiled fondly of the numbers in front of him. He pushed the appropriate digits then placed the phone to his ear. He played with his chocolate locks, and fixed at his clothes as the rings sounded in his ear.
"Hello ?"
Sora almost jumped, "Hey!"
"...Sora?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry not a good time?" Ugh I should've called yesterday!
"No, it's ok, I'm at the restaurant. What's up?" his words came fast.
"oh, ok. Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over, or something."
"mhh, I get off round ten thirty again, how bout tomorrow? After school?"
Sora thought for a moment, movies, Riku and I were suppose to catch that new movie. I bet he wouldn't mind if Cloud came, "Would you like to go to the movies tomorrow?"
"Mh" Cloud paused, "Ok, I'll swing by at school?"
"Yeah, that'd be good." Sora smiled.
"Alright see you tomorrow."
"OK, bye" Sora waited to here a quick "Later" from Cloud before hanging up the phone.
Well, might as well try to study. Sora shuffled through his back pack, pulling out his mechanics book. He frowned, as he absently looked over to Riku's backpack. Did he did his homework? Probably not.
