Classmates Days

Chapter 44: Soe, So, What?

            I don't understand why the Dreamers get to go on adventures while the rest of us have to stay behind and do homework. They even get week extensions on their assignments! Why can't we have that?! I saw sitting at my desk while Nina just arrived in class. The teacher allowed her into the classroom even though she was late for class!

"Soe! Should we have Panda Express?" James asked me as he finished his homework.

"Sure" I answered as I finished two problems.

We went to our lockers and put our stuff away. Since we are seniors this year, we were allowed to go out to lunch. James would always ride with me to the restaurant. We departed from the school and drove to the mall. It was only a five minutes drive from the school to the mall. I parked my car, and we went into the mall. It was a bit crowded at this time of day. We were waiting in line to order when I saw something odd in the distance. It seemed like a shadow was wandering around the mall! I knew those things were dangerous, but I forgot how dangerous the shadows were.

"Hey, order the kung po chicken and white rice for me! I'll be back" I said as I handed him a $20-dollar bill.

I ran after the shadow as people were happily eating their meals. I couldn't think of a reason as to why the shadow was here, because the people were so happy today. The sun was out, and the weather was nice as well! The shadow went into an under-construction store. I checked to make sure no one was looking at me before I entered the store. There was nothing here. Why would that shadow come here for? I quietly walked around the area to find the shadow, but I heard talking instead!

"I guess they are not here. I could use this to my advantage and collect so much fear!" the voice said happily, "Take out the mall. Start with their food supple"

More shadows appeared from the walls and surrounded me! This was bad.

"I didn't expect one of the Dreamers pathetic friends to be here" Vanitas said as he seemed to be fading in and out.

This was actually a huge relief to me! He's a Nightmare!

"Well, I did!" I defended.

"Why?" he asked unamused.

"Because I am one of the people who loves the chain restaurants!" I shouted as slammed my fist on the ground hard.

I yelped in pain while Vanitas just stared at me like I was an idiot. However, I had a plan. More or less. We heard someone crashing into a building. I smiled as Vanitas looked up to see Trigger Happy crashing into the building! He landed on top of Vanitas as his two golden guns fell next to him.

"Thanks!" I said in relief as I saw Trigger Happy stand on top of Vanitas.

"No worries! Now stand back!" he said as he ran off of Vanitas and slammed his two guns together.

He slammed the guns on the ground, and it transformed into a machine gun! Trigger Happy unleashed a huge round of bullets at the shadows while I stood behind him. I was cheering him on as Vanitas backed away from us. He looked very angry at us.

"I won't lose to someone like you! I refuse!" he shouted as he raised his keyblade upward!

He created a black hole and sucked away all the coins! This was bad! Vanitas prepared to unleash all the coins at us, but a green orb crashed into the black hole. The green orb shattered the black hole.

"Who did that?" I asked aloud amazed.

"We did" James said as he stepped out with Kanbei by his side.

Vanitas was now shaking when he saw Kanbei. Vanitas backed away from us as he prepared to cast another spell.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" I asked them as Trigger Happy and I ran to their sides.
