Hey… I started school again so I don't know when I'm going to have time to write and when I wont. So please be patient. But I will say that the updates will depend on how many reviews I get. I'm going to have to apply for colleges and I wont have time to think about this, but if I get enough reviews I might be able to put time aside for it… this applies for all of my stories… SO REVIEW EVEN IF ALL YOU SAY IS 'GOOD'…
Chapter 14
Roxas and I got to school really early today. So to pass the time until the homerooms open, we asked a custodian to let us sit in the gym.
Well, Roxas was sitting in the gym. I was practicing my shooting again. I could almost shoot anywhere in the three point range and half court and make it in… I was really happy.
I walked to the half court line and stood in the corner. This would probably be the hardest shot I've done so far. I dribbled the ball a couple of times and looked up to the goal. I bent my knees and with a jump I pushed the ball up and out with 90% of my strength.
There was a thunk and swish as the ball hit the backboard and into the net. I jumped up and down in excitement. I ran over to the bleachers and banged on them to get Roxas' attention.
'Did you see that! Did you see what I just did! It was awesome! Did you?" I signed.
Roxas looked up from my math notes and sighed. 'What?' he asked.
I frown. 'You weren't watching?' I signed with a pout.
'I'm sorry Sora. I'm really trying to understand this… I don't have the time to watch you right now.' He signed back with a sincere face.
I shook my head. It's fine.
'Thank you for understanding, Sora. When you get on the starter team and play the games… then I'll watch!' Roxas signed with a smile.
I smiled back. I really wanted to show someone what I could do now though…
I wonder if Leon was here… maybe he would watch me.
I walked out of the gym and over to the stairwell. I walked up the stairs and down the hall to Leon's classroom. I tried to open the door quietly in case I was interrupting something.
I walked inside and peeked into the room. I smiled at what I saw.
Leon was sitting at his desk bobbing his head to the music that was most likely playing in the ear buds in his ears.
I watched his mouth forming the words.
''Cause I can't feel my face, I won't struggle on, in a world so cold, in a world so wrong. I'm not running away, been fightin' this so long. Such a price that we pay, gotta be so strong in a lie….'
By the way he was bobbing his head I would say the song was a fast paced one… but the lyrics were kind of depressing…
I walked in slowly as to not startle Leon or anything. Despite my efforts, Leon still made a small jump when he noticed me out of the corner of his eye.
He pulled the buds from his ear. 'What are you doing here so early!' he yelled, probably a little embarrassed.
I pulled out a notepad from my back pocket.
You looked really happy listening to that music. Even if the song seemed kind of sad…
'Well… I was listening to my favorite band. Avenged Sevenfold's music is really great…' he said.
I smiled.
Well, I was practicing basketball and I wanted to show you what I can do. Roxas won't watch me because he's too busy trying to understand Calculus. He's borrowing my notes right now…
Leon's lip curled up slightly… you could barely notice the small smile.
'You seem to have a better handle on Calculus than he does, huh?' Leon asked with a smirk.
I nodded. Can you come see me shoot? I wrote.
He sat for a second and contemplated. I grabbed his hand and pulled a little. Please?
He stood and I smiled. We walked down the hall and down the stairs to the gym.
Roxas looked up when the gym door opened.
He gave me a questioning look when he saw Leon. 'He's gonna watch what I can do!' I signed excitedly.
He smiled and nodded.
I pointed to the bleachers. You can sit and watch.
He moved to the spot and sat. He gestured for me to begin.
I smiled and picked up the basketball. I moved to the center of the three-point line.
I bent my knees, set up the ball, and with the right amount of strength I shot the ball forward and into the net.
I retrieved the ball and moved to the side and shot from there. It made it in.
To the other side, it made it in.
Center half court, in the ball went.
And finally, in the corner of the half court. The ball bounced up before going in.
I turned to see Leon. He clapped his hands before giving me a smile. A full-fledged smile. 'Good job Sora. That was really great.' I watched him say.
I beamed at him. This was the first time he's ever really smiled at me. It made me very happy.
Leon stood and walked over to me. He looked around discreetly to see if Roxas was looking and placed a kiss on my lips. 'I'm proud of you.' His lips formed when he pulled away.
If Leon didn't have his arm around me… I'm pretty sure I would have fell to the floor in complete euphoria. He totally kissed me and I didn't even have to ask! I was on cloud nine… a dream come true! It really was! I stared up at him with a goofy smile on my face.
'You look really stupid right now…' his mouth said.
I couldn't even comprehend what he was saying I was so happy. I just continued to stare.
There was a pinch on my side and I snapped out of it. I frowned and rubbed my side.
I gave Leon an accusing glare. You're mean!
'You were giving me this stupid look. I needed you to snap out of it! But I must be pretty damn good at kissing if I can kiss you to the point of stupidity. Though I can't say that's a good thing either…' he rambled.
I took out my notepad again and wrote:
I was really shocked and really happy! I mean I didn't have to ask you to kiss me! Oh and just so you know, Roxas knows about us so it doesn't really matter if you kiss me in front of him. I hope you don't mind. He won't tell anyone.
Leon shrugged. 'Sora…'
I looked at him.
'Want to play one on one? First to five wins?' Leon asked with a smirk.
I nodded frantically and started to dribble the ball. It was so on!
Leon seemed to bend his knees a little, ready to block me if I moved.
I looked at the goal, bent my knees, and shot the ball.
Swish.
Leon's jaw dropped as he watched the ball's bouncing slow to a halt.
He turned back to me with a frown. 'That was cheating.'
I smirked and held up my finger. 1 point.
I watched him grumble and get the ball. He passed the ball to me to check it. When I passed it back to him he started to dribble the ball.
He moved to the left and I followed him. When I tried to knock the ball out of his hands, he dribbled the ball between his legs. I squinted my eyes at him. When did he learn how to dribble?
He moved left again and I followed only for it to be a faint and he got around me. I ran after him but it was too late.
He was already jumping at the goal for a layup.
'And that's a point for me.' He said and passed me the ball.
I huffed and quickly ran to the three-point line I went to shoot but Leon was in my way.
'I'm not going to let you get a point again.' His lips formed.
I thought as I dribbled the ball… I needed an opening.
I ran to the right and quickly slammed the ball down on the three point line using all my strength.
It flew up and into the net.
'That can't be allowed!' Leon said and took the ball.
I tried to block him but he simply pushed me out of his way and shot the ball.
Swish.
I stomped my foot and huffed. That was a foul! You can't just push me!
'I don't think there was any set rules for this match… the ball made it through the net, didn't it?' Leon's lips curled to a smirk.
I glared at him and retrieved the ball. Okay, if there were no rules then how about this!
I turned and ran all the way to the other side of the court and made it in. I turned to him and held up three fingers. I have three points now.
'So you're trying to use my own words against me, huh? Well I think I need to teach you a lesson.' He said and took the ball from me.
Before I could think about blocking him he shot the ball and it went in.
'Three points for me… what are you going to do Sora?' he asked.
I picked up the ball and stood under the goal. I threw the ball up.
The ball flew upwards and through the bottom of the net, only to come back down through the net the right way.
I turned to him and stuck out my tongue.
'You little punk!' Leon called and ran over to me.
My shoulders shook with laughter at his agitation. I had won this game.
I gasped as I flew up into the air and over Leon's shoulders. I punched at his back with my fists. Put me down!
He plopped me down on the bleachers and I looked at him with a pout.
Leon put his forehead to mine. 'I thought you were only book smart, but you're pretty clever too.' I watched his lips.
I gave him a toothy grin and hissed. It was my own version of 'TEEHEE!'
Leon bit my bottom lip to stop me from grinning before planting a kiss on my lips again.
I moved to deepen the kiss only to lean into thin air. I looked up to see Leon chuckling and he ruffled my hair.
'Get to homeroom on time and have a good day Sora. I'll see you after school.' I watched him say before he left.
GAH! I WAS SO HAPPY!
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Roxas handing me my math notes. 'He's really trying to be affectionate now. It's good that you got through to him.' Roxas' mouth said.
I nodded and smiled before signing. 'He can be a really sweet and kind person if he really wants to be. I think before he was apprehensive because he didn't know what I wanted from him. I guess he thought it just didn't make sense that I would want someone who is older and well, inconsiderate. But I think now that I've assured that I really want him just because of who he is as a person… he can open himself up to me more.'
'You look good with him… happy.' Roxas signed.
'I am happy… really happy' I signed in reply.
'I hope you guys last then.' Roxas said.
'What do you mean?' I signed.
'Well, It's going to be hard to keep the relationship going. Think about it, you can't go on dates. You can't tell Mom and Dad 'cause they'd flip a shit. I just think it would be really difficult to keep it afloat you know…' he signed.
'I think we can do it. And I don't need much… we'll figure it out and handle whatever comes.' I signed with a very determined face.
'That's really good to hear.' Roxas said.
My wrist vibrated and it was time to go to homeroom.
Roxas held him had out to me. Shall we?
I slapped his hand away with a snort and a smile as we walked to our designated rooms.
