Student Council Classroom, Radiant Garden High School. Thursday, 3:15 pm.
Riku was in the classroom assigned for the student council revising the preparations for the incoming events. He had to decide what to do with each of them and to tell the truth he had no idea what to do.
The silver-haired boy was so immersed in his thoughts that didn't listen when the door opened, and less when someone approached him.
"Hey Mr. President 'I'm-too-busy-to-see-my-friends'!" a voice said a few inches away from his face.
Riku looked up to find a pair of ocean blue eyes in front of him. He wasn't fazed with her sudden appearance and just replied nonchalantly. "Oh hey Xion, what are you doing here?"
"Can't I come to see you, pres?" she said stepping away a little.
"I didn't say that, come sit here." Riku replied nearing a chair for her to sit down.
"So... why did come here?" he asked with his aquamarine eyes glued on some papers.
"Nothing really, just that you didn't have lunch with us today, like all week and I thought maybe you'd be here." she replied leaning on the back of the chair.
"Well you found me, what will you do now?" Riku leaned his face towards Xion's. He had a debonair expression that made the raven haired girl eyes widened and felt her cheeks heating up realizing the short gap between their faces.
All of a sudden Riku burst out laughing and moved away a bit of her.
"You're tooeasy." He said.
"Jerk." Xion grumbled annoyed, looking sideways and still blushing. He was just messing with her like always but she couldn't control her blushing and the fact that she likes him wasn't helping either.
"Come on Xion, it was funny."
"No, it wasn't."
After that he continued reading the papers and writing some notes in a pad.
"Xion..."
"Wha-what?"
"I'm hungry"
"Oh yeah? What a pity."
Again silence fell between them like a curtain until he talked again.
"Xion..."
"what?"
"Let's go for a bite."
"..."
"Xion..."
"fine but it's your treat."
"Why?" he said arching an eyebrow.
"Because I say so." she replied cocky.
Riku sighed keeping his things in his bag and standing up. "Fine."
Both teens left the room with Xion's beaming at him and him with a little smile, entertained at her childish antics.
Library, Radiant Garden High School, Thursday, 3:30 pm.
"But what is the correct formula? There are three formulas Kairi!" Sora looked at her baffled, throwing his hands in the air to give it emphasis.
The librarian put a finger before his lips and hushed them. Apparently they were talking in a hardly acceptable volume.
Just as the bell signaled the end of classes, Sora went directly to Kairi's classroom and told her - almost pleaded - to help him study math because Pence had told him during lunch that his math teacher - that was the same as Sora and Hayner - made a pop quiz to his class. That's why the redhead and he had been studying in the library half an hour.
Kairi took a deep breath to calm her and replied. "Look Sora, hon, just pick the formula that has the same values you have in the equation."
"Give me an example?" he said with puppy eyes.
She took the book and flipped some pages until she found something useful.
"Hmn for example... this." Kairi pointed with her pencil an already solved exercise on the book. "Here the "x" is cleared and the second formula was applied to solve it. If you notice, the equation and formula have similar values." Kairi explained looking at the book and then to him.
Sora had a frown and his eyes were totally focused on the sheet of paper. His lips parted slightly and said with utter seriousness. "Kari, I... I got it."
"Re-really?" she said dumbfounded.
Don't misunderstand her, it's not that she thought Sora was unable to understand the problem, but math was his worst subject and it was always more difficult for him to comprehend it.
"Yeah, I got it!" he exclaimed and kissed her effusively.
Kairi's face went from normal to the same color of her hair in a second. Sometimes his boyfriend could be a bit immature and get overexcited with common things but that was something she loved about him.
"Thank you girlfriend!" Sora said with a cheesy grin.
Kairi replied with mirthful smile. "You're welcome boyfriend!"
Again the librarian pointed them to be silent before returning to his reading.
Sora chuckled and said lighthearted. "Lets go, I'll take you home."
"Okay." Kairi nodded animatedly.
The brunet and redhead took their belongings and left the library holding hands.
Behind the Auditorium, Radiant Garden High School. Thursday, 3:40 pm.
"Are you sure no one will see us here?" Roxas asked the girl looking around to make sure no one was near.
Namine - who was walking in front of him - replied casually and waving her hand to downplay the issue. "Very sure, no one comes to this part of the school after a group of boys had an... accident." he looked at her skeptical.
After the classes finished Roxas met Namine in front of the girl's locker. He said that they needed a more "private" place where he could teach her how to use the keyblade. The park where they had been training wasn't anymore an option because someone might see them and it would be problematic to have to explain. Then Namine recalled the old building that was near the school auditorium, as she had said was in disuse for some time now for that reason it was an ideal place. That's why both teens were standing in front of the metal door of said building.
Roxas grabbed the doorknob and turned it several times. Just as he thought... locked. "And tell me... how are we going to get inside, genius?" he said sarcastically crossing his arms over his chest.
"With this obviously!" Namine replied cocky holding a small silver key before Roxas' face.
"How did you get the key?"
"I have my methods." the girl said simply while unlocking the door. Her statement pecked Roxas curiosity but he didn't ask again.
The truth was that she asked Riku to lend her the key and he being the extremely good friend he is gave it to her only after she promised to return it to him as soon as possible, she agreed and thought to make a spare key before returning the original one.
"After you." She said stepping aside to let him inside.
Roxas entered and saw that more than a building it was like a huge classroom with many lamps dangling from the high ceiling, two sliding windows in the wall to his right and in front of him, some seats and a blackboard covered with dust but still it was useful.
"And... what do you think?" Namine asked him from behind.
"Not bad at all!" Roxas replied turning to face her with a playful grin. His grin made Namine smile and her heart to flutter a little although she wouldn't say that aloud.
"I thought so."
"We have to move the seats to the sides to leave free space." he said throwing aside his backpack and rolling up the sleeves of his dark blue shirt to his elbows. Namine nodded leaving her backpack aside and taking off her pink sweater.
After five minutes the center of the room was cleared and ready for use. Roxas invoked his keyblades and gave Oblivion to Namine.
He distanced a little then turned to face her and said with a challenging tone. "Ready?"
"Whenever you want." she replied smugly.
"Oh someone's feeling confident today?"
"Maybe..."
"well, come here and show me what you have."
"You asked for it."
The sound of the clashing keyblades and the teens hastily breathing filled the room. Roxas noticed that Namine was doing a pretty good job with the weapon even if she was just a rookie.
"Her intuition and stamina are improving. Maybe she's starting to learn how to use her mark." he thought dodging easily an attack.
The blonde girl tried to slash the boy's side but he saw it coming and with a swept of his own weapon blocked the attack and send Namine's blade away from her hands. The force of the boy's strike made her loose her balance and fell to the floor not before grabbing Roxas shirt and dragging him with her.
Her body hit the floor with thud and was accompanied by the sound of both keyblades falling to the floor before disappearing in thin air.
"Are you okay?" Namine had closed her eyes for the impact of the fall until the soft voice of Roxas made her suddenly open them and she regret having done so. Just a few inches of her face was the Roxas own.
"His eyes are... so blue. Were they this blue two minutes ago?" she thought drowning in the orbs of the boy in front - over - her.
"I'm fine ahm, sorry to pull you." she responded sheepishly.
"You need more practice and you have to hold the key blade with more strength"
"I'll have it in mind." he nodded. "Ro-Roxas...?" she stuttered.
"Tell me?"
"yo-you're over me..." Namine said in embarrassment. Roxas eyes widened in realization of their weird position - he was almost straddling her and had his hands in both side of her head - and stood up quickly muttering his apologies.
Namine stood and stared at the floor finding a crack the most interesting thing in the world. Her usually pale face had the same color as a cherry. Meanwhile Roxas turned his back so that she couldn't see his face flushed and awkward.
Roxas scratched the back of his neck and started saying. "I... I gotta go. It's late and-"
"yeah yeah I too must go home. See you Roxas." Namine said before jogging to the entry and take her things before leaving.
"God that was awkward and you stupid heart stop beating madly already!" she thought running to her home still blushing.
