Chapter III

"You fucking prick, why didn't you tell me you were here!" Markus shouted at me. "MARKUS man what you doing here you know what time it is?" "Yeah man I just wanted to come over to see you. So what you doin here, just visitin?" he asked me. "Nah man I'm here to stay, those foster parents that I was with bought me this house so I could go to school here and now I'm livin by myself in this big-ass house man." I explained to him. "Are you for serious man, we can have so many crazy-ass parties up in here." He said with excitement in his voice. "I know man but I don't know that many people here so I don't know who to bring." I told him. "Ahh don't worry man I know a few people to bring and some fine ass girls man." He said while laughing to himself. "Yeah man, I met this one girl today she's in our class, she's really hot man and I think she likes me." "Yeah, what's her name?" He asked me. "It's Kairi, you know her?" "Ehh yeah man I do, she's hot man but I hear that Sora kid is obsessed with her though." He told me. "Fuck him man I'm getting in there, I already walked her home and she gave me a hug and gave me a look that said I'm gonna fuck you" I said laughing. "Haha yeah man that's how we do it, shit man I gotta get home I'll see you tomorrow." "Alright man see ya." I closed the door and went off to bed.

I woke up the next day eager for school to begin. The first day actually went perfect. I met Kairi and her friends, then I met up with Markus and I'm setting up a party for Friday. It couldn't have gone better. I put on my uniform ate some food and headed off to school. I was hoping I would see Kairi on the way to school but I had a feeling it wouldn't happen. I got into class just on time, I looked around and seen Kairi waving at me and she was signalling for me to sit beside her. "Damn she wants me." I thought to myself very confidently. "Hey James, how's it going? This is my friend Namine." she said to me. "Hey what's up?" I said to her. "Nothing much" she said. She had longish blonde hair and looked a bit like Kairi. I sat down and turned to them and asked, "Are you two doing anything on Friday?" "Umm no I don't think so, why?" asked Kairi. "I was thinking of having a party on Friday, do you two wanna go?" "Yeah sure that'll be great, who's going?" Kairi asked. "Well you two and I'll ask Riku and Sora, and whoever else you want to bring." I told her. "Like, how many people do you want going?" Namine asked. "As many as you can bring" I told her. "Can we…. bring drink." She hesitated. "Yeah bring as much as you want" I replied. "Do you drink?" I asked looking at Kairi. I was hoping to god she would say yes. "Yeah a bit but I'm really lightweight," she said laughing. "Oh god I'm gonna cry" I thought to myself because I was so happy when she said that. "What do use want, cuz I can get it for ya." I asked them. "Can you get us like a liter of vodka and we can split it with a few people?" Namine asked. "Yeah no problem" I told her. "What'll you get?" Kairi asked me. "Probably just a few cans or something like that." I said to her. "When do you need the money?" Namine asked me. "Uhh I dunno yet I'll find out for ya later." I replied

Markus walked in on time that day, he came over and sat beside Kairi and me at the back corner of the room. "Hey man what's up." I said to him. "Nothing much man. Hey how's it goin?" he said to Kairi and Namine. "Yeah we're alright" Kairi replied seeming to act cautiously towards him. "Yo I'm having a party on Friday, your goin right?" I asked Markus. "Yeah man of course. Who's getting the beer?" he asked me. "Don't worry about it I'm getting it for them, what you want?" I asked him. "You wanna just get a crate between us?" he said to me. "You gonna pay me?" I replied. "Chh yeah man of course." He told me. School started and I couldn't wait for it to finish. I spent some of the time just whispering to Markus and Kairi. I started thinking in my head about her and I was thinking about how much I actually liked her even though I haven't got more than a hug off her and that I've only known her for two days.

School finished up and, like yesterday, Kairi, Sora, Riku and I met up after school. Only this time we did go to Riku's house. Sora seemed to be acting a bit strange around me but I didn't think much of it. We did our homework and I went home early just to relax by myself. Kairi seemed disappointed when I left so I was happy she wanted me to stay.

Sora: So you've been spending a lot of time with James in school right?

Kairi: Yeah, why?

Sora: Dunno, just want to find out what he's like.

Kairi: Well he's pretty cool and he's a nice guy as well. Oh yeah did he tell you guys about the party he's having on Friday?

Riku: No he didn't, when did he tell you?

Kairi: This morning, when Namine and me were talking.

Riku: Oh yeah who's going?

Kairi: Well Namine, you two, Markus and a few of his friends and me, so far.

Sora: Markus is going?

Kairi: Yeah why?

Sora: Well you've heard the stories about him so I don't think this is a good idea.

Kairi: C'mon Sora they're probably not even true, anyway it's James' party so I doubt he'd let anything happen.

Sora: You don't even know the guy yet your trusting him to keep things under control even though he said he was his best friend!

Kairi: What the hell's your problem?

Sora: I don't trust him that's all and I want to make sure your okay.

Kairi: Well don't worry about me I can handle myself!

Storming out the door
Riku: Nice job idiot.
