Chapter 7- The Main Event
I got ready for the day at the beach the next morning. It seemed to take forever for eleven to come. I heard the doorbell. I ran to the door.
"Bye." I yelled as I walked out to meet Sora.
"Let's go." He took my hand and we ran to the beach. When we got there, I saw Namine and Cloud.
"Hey Namine."
"Hey!" I put my things next to hers and took of my shirt and shorts that were covering my swimsuit. The two of us ran into the luke-warm water.
"Gosh this water is nice." I said once we got to our necks in water.
"Yep!" she agreed. We both swam under the salt water. After we got our hair fully wet, we both stuck our heads out of the water again. "Kai."
"Hum?" I turned to face her.
"I just wanted to let you know, no matter what, we'll always stay best friends."
"I know." We hugged. I believed her. Next think we know, we get splashed.
"Hey!" We called out in unison. The guys were laughing next to use. We spend the whole day hanging out at the beach. It was a blast spending time with the three of them. When it started to get dark, Cloud and Namine stayed a while longer while Sora walked me home.
"Kairi?" Sora said as we walked down the street.
"Yeah?" I looked into the starry night sky above us.
"I've been thinking. I'm going to pass up going to the private school."
"Why!" I was fine that he wanted to stay, but I didn't want him to stay because of me… well, ok I would love to think that but I didn't want to hold him back from anything.
"Because I just wanted to see if I could make it. I didn't really want to go. Plus I don't want to pay hundreds of bucks to get in." Sora explained
"Oh. So you're staying?" I asked. 'What a stupid question Kairi, of course that means he's staying.'
"Duh!" We both laughed.
"Well, see you Monday." He said as I walked to my house.
"Bye." I said. Sunday went by fast, which I was pretty happy about. When Namine and me got to school, I told her I had a meeting with Mrs. Stephlin. I didn't really, but I wanted to do something special for the two people I cared for the most. I walked into the choir room.
"Mrs. Stephlin?" I called.
"Is that you Kairi?" I heard her call from in her office.
"Yeah." I said when I walked in. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure." She said with a smile.
"I wanted to sing another solo thing."
"Sorry Kairi, we don't have any more concerts. We get out of school in two weeks." (A/N: yeah I know this story was kind of rushed. It makes up for it by putting the other two stories up after)
"Oh I know, but maybe a small performance for the end of the year."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Well, I wanted to sing 'Shine' by Hilary Duff to dedicate to Sora and Namine. I need a couple of extra singers from choir and some band students."
"I'll call the principal right now to ask." She dialed the office number. When she got off, after explaining the situation, she told me the 411. "Got a deal. I'll round up three extra singers and have Mr. Stephlin pick out some band students."
"Oh! Thank you so much!" I said hugging her. I went through all my classes trying not to blow my cover.
"Kairi, can I talk with you?" Mrs. Stephlin said after choir.
"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow Nam."
"Okay, bye Kai." Namine said walking out the door. I was so confident for my performance. I wasn't nervous at all.
"Okay, we have Selphie, Kaela and Christina as your singers. And Cloud, Brian, Jason, Amanda and Sierra for the band." Mrs. Stephlin told me.
"Okay. When are we performing?"
"Next week. Everyone's going to practice today. We have the best students for this job. We'll perform on the soccer field facing the beach."
"Alright. Thank you." I said as I left. Boy was this exciting. The week passed by and the last day of school was here. (A/N: I didn't realize how fast this story was. I guess it's cuz it's in a note book and it's already writen, it's a lot harder to add to it when it works well already) It was the end of the day.
"Sorry Nam. I'll see you at the concert!" I said as I ran out of class.
"Who's performing?" She called out after me.
"I have no idea!" I had to lie. I wanted it to be a surprise. I ran into the choir room where everyone was.
"Kairi, can you tell the office we're almost ready and to have everyone start heading to the soccer field?" Mr. Stephlin said.
"Alright."
"Wait! Kairi, take my sweeter and put the hood up if you don't want Sora and Namine to see you." Jason said handing me his big black sweeter.
"Thanks." I said putting it on and heading to the office. I told them to start having the students walk to the field. After I told them, I decided to get a look at the stage on the field with all the instruments. On my way to the field, I heard the announcement.
"Will all students report to the soccer field for a concert." I quickly put up my hood and put my hair in my face. The field looked great. I began to hear the school coming my way. As I turned to walk against the crowd, I saw two seats in the front labeled 'Sora Landon' and 'Namine Fuller.' I smiled as I quickly looked down.
"Where's Kairi and Cloud?" I heard Sora ask.
"I don't know." Namine replied.
"Why do we have our own seats?" Sora said. I ran as fast as I could to the choir room.
"Ready?" I asked pulling the sweeter off.
"Yep!" Everyone called out.
"Let's go." We all walked out. We stood behind the bleachers as Mrs. Stephlin went to talk to the students on the small stage.
"We have a special treat today." She said through the microphone. Everyone fell silent. "Nine talented choir and band students are going to perform." She clapped and everyone followed her lead.
"Let's do this." I said as we walked out into the field. My heart was racing. I was nervous but excited at the same time. The rest of the band set up behind me while I took the mic from Mrs. Stephlin.
"Good luck sweetie." She said hugging me. I smiled and took a deep breath as she walked off stage. It finally got quiet. I gathered as much courage as I could.
"I wanted to dedicate this song to my best friends, Namine Fuller and Sora Landon for sticking by my side." I could see a surprised look on both of their faces when I said that. (A/N: I really did dedicate that song to them, but I didn't really sing in front of everyone) The rhythm of a piano started as I did.
Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
'Til you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder (guitar join in)
The roaring in my brain (drums join in)
Its given me the strength
To see right through the haze
Shine on me today
Shine (Everyone joins in)
Come on and let it shine
Light me up
Make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
(Shine on me today) shine
And only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound of your voice
well it fills my eyes
With tears of joy
Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent
Shine
Come on and let it shine
Light me up
Make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine
And only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I will free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me
Shine
Come on and let it shine
Light me up
You've got what it takes
Shine
And only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Come on and shine
Shine
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me today
Yea
Shine on me today
Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my world
I pulled the mic away from me and laughed as everyone clapped and whistled. Everyone on stage lined up next to be. We all held hands and bowed. Everyone from the bleachers ran over to the stage.
"Kairi!" Sora's voice rang out. Namine and him ran on the stage. They both hugged me.
"You were great!" Namine yelled over the schools roaring.
"Thanks!" I yelled back. Namine ran over to Cloud and hugged him. In return, he kissed her. She blushed ten shades of red at the surprise. I laughed. I turned to Sora and got a surprise myself. He kissed me. Except the one difference from his last kiss, was it wasn't on my cheek. After he hugged me, he made me smile even more.
"I love you Kairi." He said in my ear.
"I love you too Sora." I said back. We both pulled away and went to talk to the people on stage with us. I looked around and then thought to myself 'What a life!'
