Lady Chango: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. But I give KH2 two snaps upin a circle!
Kairi Parker sat under the cherry blossom in the school courtyard. Her headphones hung around her neck, blaring some emo music, and she doodled into her sketchbook. All of them of a young man in various dreamy poses. Brown, wild hair, beautiful blue eyes...
"Well, if it isn't my childhood friend," a voice said. She didn't have to look to recognize the voice from her nightmares.
Sora Barrow flopped down next to her and threw an arm around her shoulders. She'd known him since they were kids, and she'd hated him forever. For what, she couldn't recall. He was wearing a pair of long, baggy shorts and a t-shirt, expensive sneakers and a large silver chain. His headphones blared rap.
"Can I help you?" Kairi scowled and turned away. His cerulean eyes almost had a hold of her, for a second. He brushed a hand down her arm, making little goose bumps under her skin.
"You gonna let me get up in your ribs, yet?" he asked, a sly, 'I'm-thinking-of-you-naked' smirk on his face. (A/N: Translation: You gonna let me screw you?)
For a second, she'd almost believed he was no longer an arrogant, hormone-driven asshole. "Can you not talk to me?"
"You're such a bitch!" Sora sneered.
"Screw you!"
"Kiss my ass!"
"I hate you!"
"Suck a banana!"
"Screw a goat!"
"Your momma's so dumb, she got stabbed in a shootout!"
"Your momma's so dirty, she loses weight when she takes a bath!"
"Your momma's so fat, when she fell in love, she broke it!"
"ARG!" Kairi stomped off. "You're so damn childish!"
"You started it!" Sora yelled after her. She didn't respond, disappearing into the school. After her figure was gone, he looked down and kicked the ground. Once again, he failed to say the right thing. Every time he tried to talk to Kairi, he said something rude, when, in fact, he wanted to tell her exactly what he was thinking.
"Kairi...I'm sorry."
"What'd he say to you this time?" Laney, Kairi's bi-polar best friend, asked, her legs swinging as she sat on the bathroom sink.
"Besides the 'your momma' jokes? Nothing much." Kairi looked in the warped mirror and wiped her slightly teary eyes. She didn't know why it hurt so much when Sora Barrow talked to her like that. Perhaps because she'd liked him since 3rd grade. But the way he patronized her...it broke her heart. She loved and hated him at the same time.
"Why don't you just kick his ass?"
"It's not that simple, Lane."
"Yes it is, if you just tried it. I'm telling you; sock it to 'im once, and he'll never come back." Laney pumped a fist in the air. She began fumbling through her bag for a cigarette.
"Let me get one." Kairi hated smoking, but sometimes she just felt as though there was nothing else to do.
All of a sudden, Yuffie Setarah came into the bathroom.
"You got the wrong room. Boys is down the hall," Laney stated.
"Very funny," Yuffie sneered. She ignored her and turned to Kairi. "You'd better stay away from Sora, you emo sonofa bitch."
"Kiss my ass," Kairi stated bluntly and tossed the cigarette in the sink.
"Oh, no the hell she didn't!"
"Oh, yes the fuck she did!"
Yuffie went to hit Kairi, but she dodged and grabbed Yuffie's hair, slamming her into the wall and breaking a piece of tile. Falling to the ground, Yuffie let out a short yelp of pain before passing out.
"That was easy."
"Preps are easy."
Laney chuckled and they began to walk out to go to class. "Oh, wait," the older red-head exclaimed, pulling out a marker. In the little space where the tile had fallen out, she tagged 'Kairi + Laney were here!'
They shared a laugh and Kairi reached for the door handle, but not before it swung open to reveal their assistant principle.
"What's going on here?" The woman didn't have to look farther than the busted wall and Yuffie sprawled on the floor to make the connection.
"God, Sora, you talked to her and fucked up again?" Riku, Sora's best friend, asked in a whisper.
"Yeah, Riku, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" He must've said this louder than he thought, because his teacher hushed him. Sora gave him the finger when his back was turned.
"You've liked her for so long...and you can't even bring yourself to say one nice thing to her!"
"Shut up, Riku!"
"Sora Barrow and Riku Gokita! Please be quiet or kindly leave the room!"
"Fuck you, man!" Sora responded.
The teacher swelled with anger. "Detention! Both of you!"
Riku gave Sora a look of exasperation and stood up to leave. Sora only flipped the teacher the bird before walking out.
"Good job, Sora! I didn't even say anything and he kicked me out."
"C'mon, man, sometimes you gotta rebel."
Sora opened the door to the detention room, only to jump in mild surprise upon seeing someone familiar. His heart skipped a beat as a pair of bright cerulean eyes turned to meet his.
"Kairi?"
