Chapter 3
It's been 3 months since we've entered the school. We got close to some friends, but the one who decided to stick with us every day was Sora.
"Hey Sora!" I waved at him.
His blue eyes met mine. "Hi Nam! Oh, and hi there Kai!"
Kairi nodded with a smile.
"Here, let me push Nam," he gestured Kairi to change with him.
This has been some kind of ritual for him to push me to class every day, which was formerly done by Kairi. I wonder if it's for Kairi's sake.
"I still can't believe that we three have the exact same schedule!" he exclaimed, wearing his usual happy grin.
I turned my back to see him and Kairi, who were walking side by side.
"Me too, just how lucky we are to have all classes with Kairi," I laughed.
Kairi rolled her eyes, knowing well that I referred to her notes. "You guys should treat me sometime."
"Yeah Sora, you should treat her, and treat me as well," I chimed, trying hard to look serious.
His eyes widened. "Whoa there. You guys are the ones who supposed to treat me; it's almost your birthday."
It's true. It was 3 days until our 17th birthday. I don't feel like celebrating it though.
"Hmm," I posed as if I'm thinking, "well, that goes for one condition."
He tilted his head in confusion. He is so cute sometimes.
"What is that condition?"
I giggled. "Well… Presents!"
"I won't buy anything for you!" he said teasingly.
"What about me? What about me?" Kairi asked animatedly.
"Only for Kairi." They high-fived.
I pouted. "You meanie."
"Of course I'm kidding Nam," he laughed while patting my head.
After 2 periods of boring chemistry, which I managed to stay awake at, it was finally lunch break.
We arrived at the crowded hall. Everyone has occupied some seats; some were still choosing what to eat.
Sora pushed me towards the foods. Kairi followed behind.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked us.
"I'll just eat that hamburger, I don't feel that hungry," Kairi replied while pointing to a Mickey shaped burgers.
Sora nodded. "What about you Nam?"
"The usual!" I exclaimed. He nodded in reply.
Sora walked to the canteen lady and ordered the food. "One hamburger, one tuna sandwich and one peanut butter jelly sandwich with a proportion of 3:4, peanut to jelly."
I laughed. He still remembered my usual order.
The canteen lady looked at him quizzically, as always. "So basically, more jelly, right?" she said.
Sora just nodded.
"Here's your orders." The canteen lady handed him a tray of foods.
He smiled, taking the tray from the lady. "Thanks!"
Sora headed back to my wheelchair and starting to push it; one hand holding the tray, the other pushing the wheelchair.
"Sora, hand me the tray," I offered.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, here. Thanks!" he handed the tray to me.
We arrived at a table of four with empty seats. Sora put me at the end of the table then sat next to it. Kairi sat across Sora.
"Here's your food," I handed the foods to their respective owners.
"Nam, your order always confuses the canteen lady. Be less detailed, will you? Start by using 'more jelly than peanut butter' rather than using that proportion," he complained.
"Well, an artist should always be detailed," I smiled.
Sora shook his head in disbelieve.
After that, we ate in silence.
This is the best; peanut butter jelly with more jelly in it is the best. I kept on chewing the food, but then drops of jelly fell to my skirt.
"Guys, I should go to the toilet."
They both nodded.
"Do you need help?" Kairi asked.
"Nope. Finish your food Kai, you should eat more."
She nodded once more. "Be quick or Sora will eat your sandwich."
I laughed. "Yeah. I will."
I hurried and turned my wheels towards the restroom. On my way there, I can see some of my friends sitting at another table, there's Pence and his friends; I know Pence from my art class, that photography freak. He's nice though. The other is a girl with braided hair who almost 99.9% of the time wears orange accessories, except for that one time when Hayner tricked her. Speaking of Hayner, he's the other guy with them. I think he and Olette is a thing, but whenever I asked them, they always deny it like a plague. Oh well.
Nearing the restroom, I heard voices of girls talking about boys and makeup, the usual restroom topic. Why bother using make up anyway, it's just inconvenient.
I walked (well not literally walked, of course) to the sink and took out the tissues on my pocket. Picking the white sheets out and damped it a little in running water, I started to clean my skirt.
"You know I kinda feel bad for Kairi," I heard a squeaky voice said.
A calm voice, in contrast to the voice before it, replied,"Hmm? Why's that?"
I stole a glance to the source of voice. It's Selphie and Paine. I know Paine because she's on a school band called Gullwings with her friends Rikku and Yuna, which is kind of famous, and who doesn't know Selphie? She's practically a gossiping machine; ask her anything, she will most likely know it.
Selphie replied, "I don't know, I got a feeling that he likes Sora."
Her companion nodded. "And why's that a bad thing?"
"Because Sora definitely likes Namine!" she half-shouted.
Paine glanced at me. "Selph, don't be so loud. By the way, Nam is here."
"Uhh… hi?" I smiled awkwardly.
Selphie looked shocked. "Well, didn't see you there Nam, what are you doing here?"
"Duh, it's the restroom. Don't ask such a thing," Paine rolled her eyes.
Selphie laughed awkwardly and asked again, "Did you hear what I've just said Nam?"
I nodded slowly.
"What do you think? How do you feel about Sora?" she excitedly ask.
"Uhh…"
"Selph, calm down," Paine shook her head.
Selphie pouted. "But aren't you curious?"
"Nope."
"Ah, such a party pooper."
I retreated away from the restroom as they argued.
What if what's Selphie saying true?
What if Kai likes Sora?
But Sora can't like me, can't he?
Ah, I'm over thinking this.
Selphie is a gossiper, why should I trust what she's saying… Is what I said to myself. I'm still wondering about it though.
If what she said is true… what should I do?
