Chapter 28 – Trapped
When the sun began to set the Coach blew his whistle. "Time to go home kids," he flipped through his sheets of papers on his clipboard. "No one leaves until all this equipment is put away!"
You could hear all the boys whine, Sora hearing Snow whisper something that sounded like 'lazy kids' under his breath. He walked over to the tires that were in the obstacle course and lifted it up on its side, beginning to roll it over to the shed.
"Let me help you." Roxas said to the brunette, teaming up and getting the tire to the shed quicker.
"Isn't it weird just looking at him now?" Selphie asked Riku as she took a sip from her water bottle. Her naturally flipped hair was sticking to her face from her sweat.
"Makes me feel like I'm in the twilight zone." Riku knew she was referring to Roxas.
"Wouldn't it be fun to see his reaction if we told him we knew?" A snakey grin slithered upon Selphie's face. She followed Riku as he began to help clean up.
"Don't." Riku told her, trying to erase all her evil thoughts from her head.
Selphie crossed her arms and pouted. "You're never any fun!" She said. She placed her water bottle down in the shed, helping Riku put his item away.
"I'm not set on ruining people's lives like you are, Selph." Riku responded as he exited the shed, Selphie following him out.
"Is everything good now?" Aqua asked her friends, looking around at the field to see if there was still any equipment left out.
Sora peered around the field, spotting a piece of equipment that was left on the ground. "Over there," He pointed, getting ready to move. "I'll go get it."
"Okay," Hayner said. "We'll meet you in the locker room!"
"And I'll see you guys tomorrow at practice!" Aqua told them as they all departed.
Sora picked up the item and opened the shed, getting inside the door shutting behind him. "It's so dark in here." He tried to use the setting sunlight that filtered through the windows to see his way around.
"Oh, Riku," Selphie jumped as they were walking towards the locker rooms. "I forgot my water bottle in the shed! Could you get it for me?"
"What are friends for?" Riku rolled his eyes, seeing Selphie put her hands on her hips.
"Not amused!" She went into the girl's locker room.
Sora made his way to the back of the shed, reaching up to put the item on one of the higher shelves. "What's that?!" He gasped hearing the shed door open, accidentally knocking down some of the objects in his way. He heard the person jump a bit when the door slammed close on him.
"Shit," He cursed under his breath. "Who's in here?" Riku's eyes wavered, trying to see their way through the dark.
"Riku?!" Sora called out. "What is he doing in here?!"
"Oh," Riku rolled his eyes, going over to the place where he had seen Selphie place her water bottle. "It's just you. Of course." He murmured the last part as he picked up the bottle.
"Why are you in here?" Sora asked, beginning to pick up the stuff he knocked over.
"It doesn't matter," answered Riku. "I'm leaving anyway." He pulled down on the handle of the door. Fiddling with it when he realized it wasn't opening. "Or not…"
"After Sora finished cleaning up his mess he made his way to the door, placing his hand on the handle. "What do you mean or no-" He realized it wasn't opening. "Oh…"
"Yeah," Riku looked down at the brunette. "'Oh'."
"Great." Sora frowned. He turned to look at Riku about to panic. "How is anyone going to know we're in here?!"
"They'll notice when they realize we're gone," Said the nonchalant Riku as he walked towards the back of the room. "And there's always this window."
"It's up too high though." Sora told him as he eyed it, watching the sun light slowly dim.
"You can climb up on my shoulders," Riku reassured the brunette. Through the darkness, Sora saw Riku wave his hand towards him signaling for Sora to come over. "Take off your shoes."
Sora nodded and removed his shoes to just his socks. Riku held out his cupped hands for Sora to hop up onto. The brunette maneuvered to Riku's shoulders, Riku holding the boys ankles tightly. Sora reached up to reach the window, his fingertip barely touching the sill. "I can't reach it." He pouted.
"You're a jinx," Riku sighed as he carefully helped Sora down. "Aren't you?"
"You're the jinx!" Sora accused him.
Riku sat against the wall. "This is like the beach all over again," He said. "Except it wasn't Selphie's doing."
"You shouldn't have let the door close on you!" Sora sat down on a crate and began to put his shoes back on.
The silverette grinned. "Then you would've just been stuck in here by yourself."
"Better than being with you!"
"Oh come on," Riku laughed. "You want nothing more than to be with yours truly!" He told Sora, referring to himself. Luckily it was dark enough for Riku not to see the blush that crept onto Sora's face.
"He laughed."
"That's not true." Sora said pursing his lips.
"I want nothing more than for you to remember me," Sora sighed. "To remember us."
"Why kiss me at the park just to say it was a mistake," He asked. "What was so enticing about me at that moment, which only lasted for a while?"
"I don't know," Riku answered, his attitude returning. "Like I said it was a mistake."
"Am I not as good as the friend you can't remember?" Sora asked. He was trying to keep his emotions calm, especially knowing he is that boy that Riku so dearly wants.
"What about the friend you don't hang out with anymore," said Riku, skipping over Sora's question. "Where is he?"
"Beat…," Sora looked down at his feet, closing his eyes and biting his lips. "Just like you he lost someone he really cared about, but couldn't deal with the pain."
"…" Riku finger combed his hair behind his ear.
"I was there for him until one day his mom told me he was sent away to Radiant Garden's psychiatric hospital," Sora looked at Riku. "You remember that day don't you? You passed me while I was in the park. You were really desolate back then."
"Because I wasn't sure of who I was."
"Riku Satoshi," Sora smiled. "Who else?"
"It had felt like I was continuing on the life of Riku," The snow-head explained. "But I wasn't really him."
"I guess the pieces lye where they fell." Sora responded.
"I'm not too sure about that." Riku bit his lip.
Selphie stood outside the boy's locker room, waiting for Riku to appear.
"It's been about an hour, where are you…?"
"Tidus, Wakka," She jumped at the boys as they appeared at the door. "Is Riku in there?"
"Nah, I didn't see him." Wakka told her.
"Did he never come back from getting my water bottle?"
"Okay, thanks!"
"Yeah, no problem Selph." Tidus grinned, walking away with Wakka.
Selphie's eyebrows furrowed. "Does no one understand how much I hate that nickname?!"
She headed towards the Blitzball field. "Riku!?" She called, hoping to hear some type of response.
"Shhh," Riku hushed Sora, getting up and walking over to the door. "Did you hear that?"
Sora followed him. "N-" Riku quickly covered the brunette's mouth, hearing Selphie call out his name again.
"Selphie," He yelled back and began hitting the door with his fists. "We're in here!"
Selphie made her way over to the shed, pulling open the door to see Riku and Sora eyeing her.
"De ja vu!" She nervously laughed.
