-Typical Day-
"Now please turn your textbooks to page 24…"
Another boring day of school in English class, boring Sora out of his mind.
Typical day.
Everyday finished with English last. Everyday, Sora would have to endure through mind-blowing boredom.
And it's so nice outside too…
Sora leaned on his desk half closing his eyes, still pondering deeply about what happened yesterday. A smile plastered on his face.
"Beautiful"
"You know, I really miss these sunsets. The ones we had at Radiant Garden were never as breathtaking as the ones we see now"
"Nothing beats eating vanilla ice cream on a hot summer day"
"Well, if I didn't, would I be enjoying this out here with you?"
Sora's mind echoed with the tender voice. He relaxed even more and turned his head towards the window. The glass wall was polished brightly, allowing the sunshine and beautiful scenery come through and also your own image to back to you.
What he saw was not a pretty sight.
Miss Tifa was standing right behind him arms crossed, giving him a young-man-you-are-in-so-much-trouble glare.
Sora gulped. So much for ruining the perfect moment.
She squinted her eyes and stared at Sora's reflection. Thank god I'm not looking directly at her, or there'd be burned holes in my eyes.
"Sora?" That didn't sound like a question. More like a command saying if-you-don't-turn-around-and-look-at-me-this-instant-your-going-to-regret-it. So much for trying to save my eyes from being scorched.
He straightened himself and with the most innocent look he could pull, he turned to the teacher. "Yes ma'am?"
"Sora, daydreaming isn't going to help you improve you English grades."
"Yes ma'am."
"You should pay more attention to class than the window."
"Yes ma'am." Sora knew that he had to follow her orders right now. Even if that meant boring his head off.
"Don't give the 'yes ma'am' bullshit! Is 'yes ma'am' all you can say?"
Holy god… Did he hear wrong? Vulgar coming from the teacher.He was about to think about it more when he found Miss Tifa staring at him again.
"Yes ma- I mean no ma- I-I mean…"
Then came the sound that saved Sora's ass. The bell that signals the end of the last period. Dear god, I've never been happier to hear a school bell ring. After silently thanking the heavens, Sora grabbed his stuff and shot out the door before the teacher even could even say "your staying after class Sora!"
As far as Sora was concerned, the last few days were the most exciting days he'd ever had in his 17 years of existence. Minus the English class of course… On the first day of school, Sora met up with his best friends and threw an all-out party at Riku's. Tuesday, they found themselves in a video game store. Wednesday and Thursday was perfect with extreme sports they tried out. He still couldn't get over the fact that Roxas leaked on himself when skydiving. Friday and the weekend was just like any other weekend. Parties. Fun. Ramen. More parties, and more fun.
After chuckling to himself when he remembered Roxas' little incident on Thursday, Sora remembered what happened on Monday. Mondays were supposed to be boring. Monday is the first day of the week, the first day of school for students and work for adults. Monday means that you've just finished up your weekend of partying. It also means another full week of English classes.
Normally, Mondays depress Sora a lot. He would've chose riding alongside Roxas in a roller coaster, that's saying a lot since Roxas screams his head off the whole ride, than going to school on Mondays. In the blink of an eye. But he couldn't say the same for the Monday that just passed. Yesterday. He had to admit that it was the highlight of the week. The pinnacle of the mountain. The brightest star in the solar system. The- okay you get the point.
He had a feeling that he wouldn't forget that Monday in a long time.
After meeting up with his friends, Roxas suggested that they should go to the guitar store so he can get a new guitar since his old one was battered. They sped well past speed limit and got to the guitar shop in the mainland in a few minutes.
After the blonde picked out a black and shinny with ESP on the box, he turned to Sora. "So which one do you have your eyes on?" Roxas liked to buy his buddies things. Good ol' Roxas."Nah I'm fine." The blonde signed.
"Dude, you've been eyeing the white Fender in that corner the whole time we've been in there. Don't give me bullshit."
What's with the 'bullshit' talk these days? Everyone's into it… Is it some kind of new trend?
"Hey, just because I looked at it, doesn't mean I really need it. My old Ibanez works perfectly fine." Sora defended.
"Might as well as throw your old one in the trash." Riku came walking in with a few new CDs in his right hand. "You know that old piece of rubbish won't even last through a whole song before breaking off-tune."
"Hey! Don't insult my guitar just because your playing is off-tune." That felt good.
"Oh yeah? Want to test me?" Without another word, the silver haired kid pulled out the white Fender on its stand, not knowing that it was attached to the stereo already. With a crash, the whole set went down. Great. When will Riku learn? The devil just sneered, and tried to pull out another guitar so he could show off his skills. –Insert another loud crash here- Okay… Probably never.
The shopkeeper came running over. Furious. "Hey kid! You break it, you buy it!"
"Yeah, that's what we had planned." Roxas flashed a grin at his friends before smacking a thick wad of cash into the shopkeeper's hands. "Sorry for the inconvenience. My friends here… Kinna got carried away trying to smash things." Hey! What do you mean by 'friends'? I didn't touch anything!
"Take this and keep the tip. We'll be off with our guitars." The shopkeeper looked down at his hands to find enough cash equivalent to the monthly lottery. And without another word, he walked away.
"So guys, grab your guitars and lets get out of here."
Now it was Riku who was getting pushy. "What do you mean by guitars? I am not taking home crap!"
Sora just stared. At Riku, at the mess, then back to Riku. He had just called Fender and Yamaha guitars crap.
"Hey, personally I think Fender deserves to be credited a bit better." An older blonde taller than Roxas walked in the awkward scene. Here you have an emo kid holding a guitar, a brunette wearing a V-neck with rolled up sleeves, and 2 blondes. One wearing a white shirt, white jeans, the other wearing black shirt and black jeans. In front of a pile of messed up stereos and guitars. Not something that people would see everyday.
The shorter blonde in white recognized the newcomer. "Oh Cloud. Didn't know you were into guitars."
Cloud gave him a half smile. "Yeah, normally I'm not a fan of guitars. I definitely prefer drums better. But today, my sis asked me to get her a copy of the newest album by Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift? Isn't she the girl that sings country love songs? Don't tell me anyone actually likes her… Right on cue, Roxas began screaming and jumping around. Shouting something between how much he loves Taylor Swift, and the lines of 'love story'. Okay… Maybe I was wrong…
Riku was the one to interrupt Roxas' singing moment. "Dude, calm the fuck down."
Cloud snickered. "Well I'll catch you guys later. Nami wants this album and she wants it fast. If I don't want my face ripped off, I better hurry with it." With that, the older blonde turned away and walked down the isle. Roxas looked as if he'd seem a ghost. Pale white. Heck he looks like a ghost himself! Sora was amusing himself by watching the two in front. One barked not-so-friendly words and the other freaked out. Typical day.
After 10 minutes of nonstop whining, Riku was finally able to strap the flailing blonde in his own car. "Lets get this piece of nervous wreck home." Sora nodded. He knew that Roxas would freak out even more if they didn't do something fast. Funny, he broke when the other blonde said his little sister's name… Exactly like how he acted after knowing that the ice cream shop they went to yesterday which was owned by a relative of the girl… Haha… The boy's gotten lovesick.
The trio found themselves outside a very large silver gate. Roxas' house. The courtyard itself was large enough to be a golf ball course. They arrived 2 minutes later at the door of the mansion; even with Riku's mad driving skills.
Sora rang the bell while Riku dragged the blonde, who still hasn't recovered from his recent panic attack, out of the car. A blue haired woman came to the door. "Hi Sora, great of you to drop in!" Roxas' mom, Aqua. She's the type who doesn't like formal greetings. Sora greeted her back in the same informal way before getting back to the main topic. "Roxas here freaked out again." Sora put it as simple as it was. But that didn't really convince the blue haired lady. "Oh dear! What happened to him?" Sora mentally face palmed himself. Aqua was always the overprotective mother.
The blonde teen zombie trolled upstairs, while the 3 sat across from each other on the couch.
After explaining to Aqua how Roxas fainted a few dozen times, she finally managed to get what happened. "So Roxas freaked out after Riku brought down the store?"
"Err… Not exactly. He kinna went pale when he heard about Cloud buying some album for his sister or something…"
"Oh." Her mom almost relaxed from her worried state. "So there's nothing really to it." Okay… Since when did Roxas' mom become like this?
"So you knew about this?"
"Yes… Ever since Roxas met this new girl who moved to Destiny Island 2 years ago, he's been acting strange."
Riku raised a brow, but didn't say anything.
Oh… So my friend here became afraid of that girl ever since I moved away? Boy did I miss out a lot.
After just coming back to attend Destiny High, Sora still didn't quite catch up what happened over the 3 years when he moved away. A lot of things have changed…
Nobody spoke for a minute or two. Until the blonde, who previously freaked out, came downstairs and broke the silence. "Hey, Axel called for a party at his house today. You guys coming?" Well, at least he's out of his trance.
"Well you guys coming or not?" Roxas seemed more impatient than usual.
Riku would probably agree. Nobody could pull him away from a party.
Sora shrugged. "Sure. If your buddy doesn't mind my presence, then why not? I'm game."
Well, it's better than Roxas freaking out in his bedroom again, right?
A/N: So how did you guys like it? And I think that I've finally worked out my schedule now. Updates EVERY week! Hurray! Isn't that exciting? No? Oh well… Thanks to all those who supported me through these chapters. I luv you all! Not that I'm gay or anything… Just a figure of speech…
Also, I'm still trying to look for grammar/spelling mistakes. If anyone could help me out, it'd be appreciated.
And did any of Jomatto's fans recognize what I wrote in the story here? Yeah, all rights of 'love sickness' go to him. Thanks again! Please review… I'm kina getting the cold feet here… -A 8989™ with cold feet. XD
