Chapter 2: Confessions
They all met up on Wednesday to plan the party which was to be held at the seaside shake on that Friday. "What time should the party be at?" Kairi asked her two best friends.
"How about at seven o'clock? "Sora suggested. "It's still early but the sun will have already set" the boy explained his decision.
"Sounds good to me. Me too, seven it is!" Riku and Kairi agreed. Then they split up the list and on Thursday set everything up.
Finally Friday had come and Sora couldn't wait for that evening. "What are you so happy about?" Roxas asked sitting on the end of the bed.
"Tonight's the night; I'm going to ask Kairi to be my girlfriend." Sora began blushing. "Isn't that sweet? My other half is finally becoming a man" Roxas said in a playful tone.
"You know that if she says yes you and Namine will be getting to spend a lot more 'quality' time together." Sora told his nobody while raising up his right eyebrow as he finished getting dressed for school.
Even though Roxas was transparent Sora could tell he was blushing.
Meanwhile over at Kairi's house she too was finishing up getting ready for school. As she did her hair Namine appeared in the chair in front of the dresser.
"You must pretty exited about the party tonight" she said while smiling solemnly. "What do you mean Kairi?" asked her nobody.
"Well.." Namine pointed out the she was blushing slightly and appeared to be deep in thought.
"It's just.. tonight I'm going to asked Sora if he'll be my boyfriend" Kairi told Namine now red covered her face. "Wha-…what?" Namine replied with a surprised tone.
"Think about it this way, now you and Roxas will see more of each other" and with that Namine began to blush though just like Roxas she was transparent and hard to tell.
On the way to school all three teens walked together as usual but Kairi and Sora looked at the ground most of the way. Riku knew something was up when Sora, who normally wouldn't shut up, was silent.
He also noticed how the two never looked at each other unless it was a quick glance. Then they would turn red.
Riku waited for lunch to confront Sora. "Your gonna ask Kairi to be your girl tonight aren't you?" Riku asked pinning Sora to the back wall.
What are you talking about? Sora asked as he worried that Riku would embarrass him. "Come on everyone has been expecting this" Riku informed his childhood friend.
"So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Sora asked Riku who was now grinning evilly.
"I would completely ruin everything for you but…. I do owe you for beating Ansem so I'll help you out for once. I've seen the inside of your closet so I'll bring you over my old tuxedo."
Before Sora could say anything the bell rang and Riku ran off to class. Sora watched his friend disappear behind the corner and headed in the opposite direction to class.
