The beach. Ah, what a stereotypical place to pick up girls. I would have thought Riku was better than this, but then again he doesn't really have to try anyways. To my dismay, the weather was perfect and there couldn't be any more people packed here.
"Pst, go on! Remember what I told you and good luck!" Riku whispered and waddled away comically. People turned to look and simply shook their heads. Guess no one really cares about a walking fire hydrant.
"Whatever, I'll show that asshole for dumping me off here..."
Looking around, I walked along the edge of the grass and sand where the least amount of people were. The sun was being annoyingly bright reflecting off the sand, almost blinding. Next thing I know, I'm falling… and faceplant into something squishy and soft.
I know what you're thinking you perverted freak, but it's a god damn beach ball.
"Hey brah, pass the ball back, ya?"
I looked over and saw a built jock with weird-ass orange hair in a muscle shirt waving towards my direction. There were a couple others surrounding him in a formation around a makeshift volleyball net. I quickly dusted myself off and tossed the ball back, embarrassed as all hell now that everyone was looking my way. Just as I turn to head back for the parking lot, someone nudges me.
"Hey, are you sticking around for a while? We're missing a player and our team could use another boy."
I turned around and was dumbstruck. A girl with red hair in a pink bikini and white sunglasses was talking to me. What do I do? Should I breathe through my mouth or my nose? My breath probably stinks. So probably my nose. Did she notice how white I am? Oh god, she must think I'm a loser. WhatdoIsaywhatisgoingonwhatdoIdo
"HELLOOOO?" she drawls, waving her hand in front of my face. I simply stared without saying a word. I've gone from asshole to putty in a five second span.
"Ugh, this guy is an idiot. Never mind, come on let's keep playing guys. That dumbass can't even walk straight let alone hit a ball," the fire-head sneered. The others with her gave apologetic looks as she started walking back to the court. I simply gawked like the idiot she called me and shook my head. I thought being that rude was only in movies... for fucks sake, are we back in high school here? I stomped my ass back to her and gave a piece of my mind.
"Listen here bitch, just because I was blinded by you doesn't mean I'm an idiot or a dumbass. Give me that ball!" I shouted as I snagged the ball. I threw the ball high, aimed for the target and fired as hard as I could. The ball rocketed far, far, far, far… and landed five feet before the net.
"Bwahahaha, that was the worst serve I've ever seen! You're right, you're not a dumbass, you're a weakass!" the witch-bitch cackled. By this point I went from rage to complete embarrassment. Just as I started to walk away, someone called out to me.
I turned and shouted angrily "Listen, I don't wanna hear anymore of your….." I stopped in mid sentence.
"Oh, sorry about Kairi, she doesn't get along with newcomers much…." a girl with mid-length blonde hair and a white bikini with pink sunglasses and a familiar looking bracelet stood in front of me. Am I having deja vu or something? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?
"Uhhh… so you don't talk much. Well anyways, I should probably head back…"
"WAIT!" I shouted, grabbing her wrist. "I noticed your wristband…. do you like Riku's fashion line?" I asked confidently. I have a plan, and it seems like I hit the jackpot, her eyes lit up like nights at Epcot.
"Yes, I do! I love everything he's made, they all have their signature style and make a statement every time I wear them!"
"Oh, heh, that's funny because…" Wait hang on, what the hell am I doing? I can't spill the beans that he's my brother… Or maybe… I can drop some hints…
"Did you know that he's deathly afraid of chipmunks? Or that if someone plays California Gurls he won't be able to function unless he sings the whole thing through?" I spouted off at lip numbing speeds. Namine stared for a moment, then started laughing hysterically.
"What in the world? That's ridiculous, even if that was true, how would you know that?" she asked between breaths.
"I...uhh…." Think of something idiot! "I'm his chauffeur." Seriously? That's all I got?
Namine raised her eyebrows. "Oh, really now? If you were his ride, that must mean he's here, right? I think I would've spotted the crowd by now…"
"NAMINE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL TALKING TO THAT JERKOFF FOR?! GET BACK IN THE GAME" an angry fireball interrupted. Namine sighed and turned back to me.
"Looks like I'm needed… I'd like to believe that you know my Riku, but I don't think I have that much trust for a total stranger."
"I can prove it." I can? Oh yeah, I can! I quickly pulled out my phone and showed her my wallpaper. It was a photo of Riku driving his car with me in the passenger the day he got it.
"Oh wow, that's really awesome! But if you're his chauffeur, why aren't you driving?" she questioned. This time, I don't think the truth could hurt.
"It was the day he bought his new car, naturally he wanted to take it for a spin first," I answered. Namine shook her head.
"I just can't believe he's here then! Do you think I could meet him? Please, please, please?" she begged, dragging her knees into the sand.
It was absolutely despicable.
But I might as well get this over with for my own sake.
"I suppose… But we should probably meet up somewhere else, the beach won't cut it. It's way too crowded here."
"Oh yeah, sure! Please take my number, text me whenever you and Riku get a chance to hang out!"
"You did it. You actually did it! You got a girls number, congrats little bro!" Riku shouted, slapping me on the back.
"Ah, it was nothing really…"
"No, this is awesome! I think we should throw a party! That way you can have an excuse to invite that girl over!"
Parties. I hate parties. But, this does allow me to hang out with Namine and have Riku there not incognito this time.
"Hmm… alright sounds good to me. But you have to do me a solid."
"Yeah, sure. Watcha need cocoa bean?"
I slam my fist on the counter. "Okay, I need two things. Number one, never call me that again," I deadpan. "And two, I want to do this on my own, so from now on, I'm your chauffeur if anyone at the party asks."
Riku smiles. "Yes for the second one. Not making any promises on that first one."
I scowled, then jumped when my butt vibrates. Huh, that's weird. I don't text anyone other than Riku, so who the hell is texting me?
Text From: Unknown
heyyy, its nams, girl from the beach yea hi. just wondering when we're all gon meet up?
What the fuck. She gave me her number, I never gave her my number.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, who's textin ya?" Riku shrilled, poking his nose into my phone.
"No idea," I reply, ripping my phone away from his prying eyes. Inwardly, I'm freaking out. This has got to be some crazy stalker chick if she got my phone number out of thin air like this.
How did you get my number?
…
…
…
…
Third grade stuff, I took a picture of you when you weren't looking and cross referenced it with Mooglebook. I narrowed you down to about ten different profiles and tapped into Mooglebook's database and retrieved your number from there.
…
So when are we meeting?
…
Hello? Sooora?
…
…
SORA?
…
…
SORA!
I think I'm starting to get an idea of how crazy Riku's fangirls really are. As my phone slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, I began to contemplate if using Riku to get chicks was advantageous. So far, I've been forced into somewhere out of my element, ridiculed by jocks, and stalked by a crazy blonde.
I sigh as the sun slowly descended, casting prolonged shadows across the docks. Maybe I should just give up and be a meninist. After all, a strong man don't need no girl. I always have my hand, and my hand…
"Finally," a woman bellowed from behind. Startled, I scrambled off the side of the dock and my eyes immediately widened.
"I've been looking for you."
AN: Awwwwllllright well I didn't exactly get ten reviews, but I don't really care anyways since about 100 people read the first chapter, that's good enough for me. But if you feel soooo inclined...please review and give me your feedback! I'm always looking to improve, give me your worst! And... maybe some praise? :)
