Kingdom Hearts (My Way)

Chapter 1

     I hauled the log towards the beach.  I could feel my face getting red as I thought about working with Riku on the raft.  I had a crush on the silver-haired boy ever since I arrived on the island.

     I shook my head.  I had to stop daydreaming and thinking about Riku.  I needed to focus on the task at hand…

     “Ow!!” I exclaimed as I accidentally dropped the large log on my foot.  “Crap…”

     I had promised Kairi that I would help finish the raft.  And Riku and Sora were already on the beach with her.  I saw both of them earlier, Sora with no log but was whacking trees with his wooden sword, Riku, with a nice big log that he tucked under his arm as he headed for the beach.  I think I had a larger log, because I had to carry it with both arms out in front of me.

     I stopped walking.  I had come to where the green forest met the white sand.  I could see and hear clearly Riku, Sora, and Kairi.  They weren’t too far away.  I was glad that none of them saw me yet, especially Riku.  I didn’t need to embarrass myself so soon in front of the silver-haired cutie.

     “Aren’t you guys forgetting about me?”  Pause.  “So, I guess I’m the only one working on the raft.”  Another pause as Riku walks up to Kairi and drops his log on top of Sora.  Kairi giggles as the log drops on Sora.  “And you’re just as lazy as he is!”

     Kairi giggles again.  “So you noticed.”

     I frowned and came out of the shadows.  I boldly walked up to them.

     “Well, I’m not lazy.” I said and dropped the log at Kairi’s feet.

     I knew Riku heard me because when he sat down next to Sora in the sand, in the corner of my eye, I saw him smirk.  But still, I could feel his eyes upon me, trying to weigh me out.  He was seeing if I was stronger or weaker than him.  After all, this was the first time we truly met.

      “So, where’s the raft?” Sora asked Kairi.

     “It’s a little ways down the beach.  Near our favorite spot.  It’s tied up on some rocks by the shore.” Kairi answered.  “And I’ll take the logs down there ‘cause I know you guys are going to race each other there.”

     “You sure you can take them by yourself?” Riku asked.

     I looked at Kairi questioningly.  I didn’t need a friend getting injured while I was la-la land, daydreaming about the guy that was less than a foot away from me.  No, not Sora.  Riku.

     “Yeah, don’t worry ‘bout me.” Kairi said.

     “Alright!!  Cya guys at the spot!!” I said and ran off.

     “Hey, that’s not fair!!” Sora said and ran after me.

     “Nothing’s fair in this world, ya big crybaby!” Riku shouted as he passed Sora.
