And now, the story continues....Part 3!!!
"You have a phone call." The secretary said plainly with her loud and lazy voice.
"Hello?" you say. "Well hello, ___-chan! I'm glad I could get to talk to you!" the voice said.
"Hu! Oh my gosh! I know who this is! You're my boss, Demynx-sama!" you say happily.
"Yes, but how did you know?" Demynx asked in a confused tone. "You've never met me before."
You let out a little giggle. "Marluxia-sama told me you were going to call me today. I'm surprised you called now and at the office. I thought you were going to call my cell phone after class was over."
"Oh that Marluxia! He told me you ended school now! How long is school for?" he asks. "Well, school ends at 2:30. It's 1:57 now. So in about 30 minutes I'll be out." you say, waiting for a responce.
"Well, I guess this isn't terrible. Marluxia told you where to meet us right?" Demynx responded.
You smile. "Yup! Across the street in the parking lot!"
"Good! Well, it's our first meet so the latest you can get here is 4. Any time earlier would be a bit better like 3:30." Demynx replies.
"I can probably get there a little earlier if you'd like." you suggest.
"No. I want you to hang out with your friends for a little. Then you can make a clean getaway without looking suspisous!" Demynx says with a slight laugh at the end. "Remember, this must be kept secret!"
"You're so nice Demynx-sama, thank you! And yes, this is definately confidential!"
"You can just call me Demynx! The '-sama' part makes me sound old! Hehe, Well bye ____-chan! See you later!"
"Bye Demynx-sa...uh um bye!" You hang up the phone and smile incredibly huge. The secretary stares at you blankly. "Get back to class," she says in an annoyed tone.
"You look at her a bit surprised. "Um y-yes uh sorry." you say as you walk out of there as soon as possible.
You start walking back to class with a big smile all on your face. "I can't wait to get started!" you think to yourself. "Oh Carmen! My dream is coming true! I hope you're watching when my job finally begins! The anxiety is killing me! I want to start now!!"
You make it back to class and sit in your seat. You still had that big smile on your face and your cheeks were light pink, but you didn't notice. You were lost in your mind, not even realizing that you even got to class and sat down. Finally, Roxas shakes you.
"____!" he yells as he shakes you. You instantly snap out of it and realize where you were.Everybody, including the teacher, is looking at you. "Woh, when did I get here?" you say out loud.
"Uh, ____-san, is everything alright?" the teacher asks giving you a concerned look.
"Um oh yes sensi! I'm so sorry!" you say, incredibly embarrassed. Now your cheeks were pink of embarrassment.
"It's okay ____-san, just please pay attention." He turned back and got out some sheet music and started playing a song that didn't sound familiar to you. It didn't matter because you just looked down at your lap and tried to let the aura of embarrassment seep away from your body.
Roxas saw that you were shaking a little because you were nervous and embarrassed so he put his hand on your shoulder to try to make you feel better. You looked up at him and saw his sweet innocient reassuring smile and you looked at his sea colored eyes and saw a glint of reassurence in them as well. This made you feel a lot better.
You took out your notebook from under your seat and wrote 'THANK YOU!!!' with a smile face and little blush ovasl under the closed eyes. Roxas let out a little laugh and took your notebook and pencil and wrote: Anything for a friend!!!
He drew his own smiley face, but with no blushes or anything. You felt better and decided to pay attention to the last 2 minutes of class (yes, 2 freaking minutes. oh wow..).
--------------------------
Class was now dissmissed and school was now over! You were so happy because you wanted to get to work immediatly. But, to make a clean getaway, you decided to take Demynx's advice and play it cool. Roxas grabbed your arm and moved you to the side. "So ___, what happened in the office. It must have been something really cool cause when you got back to class, you had a huge smile on your face."
"Crud!" you thought. " I forgot to come up with something!!!!! Think fast ___!"
"Um, it's nothing!" you say as you put your hand on the back of your neck.
"Aw come on ___, tell me!" Roxas said eagerly. He really wanted to know.
"Oh great! Think! Um um um...."
"I got a package that I have been waiting for!" you say as casually as you can.
"Cool, what were you waiting for?" Roxas asked couriously.
"Damn he's so courious!"
"A book! Yes um, a manga that I've been dying to read. I preordered it and it finally came!" you say with a nervous smile. "Yes! I'm home free!"
"A manga? Cool, um what's it called?" he asks with a smile.
"Oh come on man! Are you kidding me! What are you, Sora? Come on Roxas damn, you're ruining my lie!!! Dang it. I'm in trouble now."
"Uh um er," you stammer. "It's called um uh Heartless!" you finally get out. "Please buy it!"
"Heartless? Never heard that before." he says a bit confused.
"It's new." you reply calmly. "Yes! He took it!"
"Cool! When you finish, can I borrow it?" Roxas asks with hopeful eyes.
Your world crashes now. You really were in trouble now.
"Hey guys!" Kairi calls out to you and Roxas. You and Roxas smile and wave to her. "OMG KAIRI! Great timing!!" you practically scream in your mind.
"How was music?" Kairi asks.
"Eh, it was music." Roxas simply replies. "We sang, took some notes, sang again. Basic music class."
You glare at him a bit for how he answered the question. After all, this was your favorite class.
"Something wrong, ___?" Kairi asked concered.
"What? Oh no! I'm good!" you answer sweetly. "How was art?" you ask.
"Oh it was pretty cool today! Sora got paint on his hair, so he went to the bathroom to get it out" Kairi explains, giggling.
Namine soon walks by. "Hey guys!" she says happily struggling with her books.
"Math, huh?" Roxas asks in a bummed-out tone.
"Y-yeah." she replies with a sad smile. "I really don't like math.."
"Don't worry, Namine! I hate it to!" Sora calls out as he walked toward the group.
Roxas squints his eyes and flashes an evil smile to Sora. "Got out the paint?" he asks with a chuckle.
Sora's eyes widen and his cheeks turn red. He gives Kairi the look of death. "ALREADY?! YOU RATTED ME OUT ALREADY! THIS IS LIKE, A NEW RECORD! YOU DIDN'T EVEN WAIT FOR ME TO COME BACK!" Sora complained.
"Hehe! I couldn't help it! It was too funny to keep in! And besides, at least I didn't tell them HOW that happened." Kairi flashed him an evil smile. "Well...," Kairi began. "It all started when..-" "NO!" Sora cut her off. He ran up to her and covered her mouth. "MMM MM MHMHHMM!!!"
You all laughed. "Hey!" Namine pipes up."Where's Riku?" You all looked around. No Riku. This may be your chance.
"I'll look for him!" you pipe up. You start walking away.
"Hey ____, want me to come help you?" Roxas asks you.
You turn to him and smile. "Nah, it's okay! Thanks Roxas!"
You see Roxas is a little sad, so you walk up to him and push his arms open to hug him. You wrap your arms around his stomach and buried your face in his shoulder (you're short ^_^). You failed to notice how awkward he felt.
You pulled away and tapped him on his forehead with one finger. "Bye guys! I'll be on the lookout!" And with that , you dashed away.
Kairi, Sora, and Namine stared at Roxas's red and shocked face. They all instantly began to laugh.
"Roxas, you are beet red!" Kairi teased. "I think someone has a little crush on ____!" Namine joined in teasing.
"N-no! I was just awkward! I didn't know she randomly hugs people!" Roxas said incredibly nervous.
"So defensive! Oh Roxas, if you have a little crush, you just do. Maybe it did just catch you off guard but you don't have to get so freaked out about it!" Kairi said with a laugh.
"Yeah well.....yeah, I guess I over reacted. I'm sorry." Roxas answered ashamed at his outburst.
"Oh don't get so upset!" Sora reassured, putting his arm around Roxas's shoulder. Roxas looked at Sora's goofy grin and chuckled. "I guess you're right." he finally said.
And with that, the four stood there chatting, waiting for you and Riku.
-----------------------
You dash to your locker and gather what you need. You close your locker and start walking out. "Sorry guys. I'm just to anxious to wait. Please forgive me." you think as you make your way out of the school.
Out of no where a kid comes running down the hall and slams you down to the floor. You fell and hit your head on the lockers and on the ground.
"Watch where you're going, girl!" A boy with blond hair huffed at you. You didn't respond. You didn't know what was happening. In fact, you were half conscience.
The boy grabbed you by your shirt and picked you up from the floor and brought you up to his face. "Answer me, girl!" he huffed at you.
"Yo Seifer. I think she can't hear you, ya' know." A tall dark boy told the blond kid.
"Unconscience." a girl with purple hair said plainly.
"Ugh, what a waste of time." Seifer says as he throws you back to the ground. You finally knew what was going on, but your body wouldn't move and you couldn't answer.
It was like slow motion as you fell to the floor once again. You shut your eyes as you were falling, the ground didn't feel cold or hard. It felt soft and a bit squishy. You open your eyes to see Riku right above you.
He moves you to the side and confronts Seifer. "What the hell is the matter with you? Do you not see YOU knocked her out?" Riku said furiously, defending you.
"It's her fault. She was in my way." Seifer calls out.
"Seifer, I think you should fall back, ya' know. This is bad." the tall dark guy warned.
"Trouble. Retreat." the girl with purple hair also warned.
Seifer looked at his friends and sighed. "Fine. You're not worth it anyway." Seifer says as he waves his hand and starts to walk away.
Riku was angry and astoished. He was not gonna take that crap. He pulled Seifer by the neck, and slammed him into the lockers, still keeping a good grasp on his neck. "Are you stupid? There is no way in hell you're leaving like this. You apoligize to her right now!" Riku pushes Seifer to the floor. "Apoligize now!!!" Riku puts up his fist for emphaisis.
Seifer crawls to you in fear and begs for forgiveness. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm soooo sorry!!" Seifer pleads to you.
You were now fully conscience, you just were too stunned to answer.
Riku picked up Seifer by his collar and push him to the wall this time. "If I ever see or hear anything like this done again, it'll be the last mistake you'll ever make ever. GoT It sEiFeR?"
"Yes! Yes!" Seifer squealed. Riku let him go. The two with Seifer had dissapeared and no one noticed.
"Seifer..before you go..." Riku began. "you deserve this." Riku punched Seifer right in the face, making Seifer bleed and spit out a tooth. Seifer ran away, crying. Riku now turned to you.
"You okay?" he asks helping you up. "I'm fine!" you say. "Thanks a mil, Riku. I owe you one." you say, as you smile sweetly. Riku smiles at you. "That guy is a real prick. Watch out for him. I won't lecture you for not defending yourself, cause you were unconscience. If you get into any trouble like, call me. I'll help you out." Riku examines your face for a second. "Turn around. Let me check that bump."
You listen and turn around. You feel Riku's hand feeling around your head. He uses a gentle touch, so when he found your bump, it didn't hurt too much. "Ow!" You complain.
"That jerk! Well you have a medium sized bump there. Lets go to the nurse and get some ice." You agree, and Riku grabs your hand, and begin to walk. Your vision is a bit shaken up and you feel dizzy. You start collapsing to the floor. "_____!" Riku yells.
"Sorry Riku." You say trying to get up.
Riku comes up with an idea. "I'll carry you. You're pretty light, and we'll get the ice faster." Before you could answer, Riku lifts you up and carries you like a baby and starts to fast walk to the nurse.
You were shocked and actually a little embarrassed by the way he carried you. However, you also felt completely safe. You wraped your arms around his neck, closed your eyes, and rested your head on his shoulder. You felt your cheeks being to heat up.
Riku looked down at your face and saw how red you were. He smirked and even laughed a bit, but you didn't hear it. "How.....cute." Riku thought to himself. He turned the corner and walked into the nurse's office. She wasn't there, but Riku knew where everything was, so he placed you down on a chair and got the ice.
"Here," Riku said to you, handing you the ice. You take the ice and put it on your bump. "Sssssssss, oh wow extremely cold!" You say, closing your eyes tightly.
"Keep that on your head for 15 minutes at least." Riku explained. You open your eyes to look at Riku and nod your head, but you flinch at the pain. You really hit your head hard.
Riku gave a sympethetic smile, and he gently rubbed his finger on your cheek. "You'll be okay, ____. It's nothing too serious. Just relax." You looked up at Riku and saw the smile he was giving you. You grinned back. "Thanks Riku! For everything! I really appreiciate it!" you say with that huge grin you kept on your face.
Riku smiled back and blushed a little. He put his hand on your head. "Just stay out of trouble." he said, ruffling your hair.
"Ah!" You squeal, fixing your hair.
"Riku,____, there your are!" Sora proclaimes as he storms in the office. Sora, Roxas, Kairi and Namine crowd you.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay ____?" Namine asks concerned. "We ran into Seifer and we know everything." Sora blurted out. "Does it hurt a lot?" Kairi asked.
"I'm good guys! At least, thanks to Riku!" you say with a smile. "He beat up Seifer bad, all for me!" You give Riku a hug and he looks to the floor and blushes.
"Om my god! Riku's blushing!!!" Sora rats out. Riku gives him, "the look" and Sora instantly shut up and hides behind Roxas. It becomes silent for a minute. Roxas breaks the silence. "Umm, wanna go to the Smoothie Shack, guys?" he asks everyone.
"Sure!" Kairi answers. "Yeah!" Namine says cheerfully. "Awesome, yeah!" Sora yells joyfully. "Sure." Riku simply replies. "Y- Wha wait! What time is it?" you say a bit paniced. You totally forgot about Demynx and Marluxia.
"Um, 3: 09." Roxas answers. Your eyes widen. "Oh my goodness! Sorry guys! I can't come!" you say as you get up.
"Whhhhhyyyyy???" Sora whines, tugging your arm. "I have to get home. I need to um, beat the guy to my house."
"What guy?" Kairi asks suspiciously. "The dude with my package! Sorry guys, I really gotta jet. Thanks for the invite and thanks for saving my butt, Riku. Bye!" you say, as you dash out the door.
"Wait!" Roxas calls out to you. You stop frozen in your tracks. He walks up to you. "Take a fresh ice pack and ____, for the love of God, don't get hurt again!" Roxas says, giving you a concerned look. You take the ice pack, smile, and tip toe to ruffle his already kinda messy hair.
"I'll be okay!" you say with a thumbs up and a grin. You start walking away. "Thanks for the ice pack and concern!" you call out as you begin to jog in the hallway. And with that, you get away from the crew and begin to dash to the parking lot.
"Thanks for all the care and love guys. I appreicaiate it so much," you think to yourself. Seven minutes later, you arrive at the parking lot, and see Marluxia and a guy with blond hair. You figure that was Demynx.
"Hello!" you say, out of breath, but with a smile. "Oh Marluxia, you were right! She really is a cutie!" the blond guy said , tapping your nose. He clears his throat. "Hello ___, I was the guy who talked to you over the phone, Demynx. I'm so glad to finally meet you. Marluxia said that you are the girl we've been looking for."
You smile at the compliment. "Thank you very much! This has always been my dream! I can't wait to begin!" You say.
"Well, today will be nothing major. You're new at this, so today is a trial day. I also have to go over the basics with you. I trust Marluxia's opinion, but I want to see you in action. Will that be okay?" Demynx asks you.
"Oh most definatly!" you say all happy and cheerful----kinda like the way Sora would answer.
"Um, ____-chan, why do you have an ice pack on your head?" Marluxia asks you. "Oh, I just hit my head. Not a big deal!" You say as you throw the ice pack in the garbage."I'm good!"
Demynx and Marluxia take you into a fancy, huge building with many people inside it. It's almost like a city inside a building. It was so crowded until you came out of the elevator of the 5th floor. It was completely deserted almost. Marluxia grabbed his keys and unlocked one of the doors in the hallway. "Step inside, ____." Demynx told you.
You listened and walked inside. You began to examine the room when Demynx taps your shoulder and points to the piano. "Do your thing, ____." he says with a smile.
You began to feel nervous. You wanted to do it but you were afraid Demynx wouldn't like it. "Don't be shy, ____. I know you can do it!" Marluxia says confidently. You hesitantly make your way to the piano and place your hands on the keys. Your dreams were on the line. It was now or never! You took a deep breathe and began to play....
