estrange ✶ huening kai

two.

releasing a groan at the sound of her alarm clock, sora turned over in her bed, her legs and arms stretched out as she rolled around. she reached an arm out after she was done spazzing, her hand blindly looking for her phone on her nightstand. pausing, she remembered yesterday's events.

"sora!" kai pulled her from the street and into his arms, resulting in the girl's cellphone to go flying from her hands and into the busy street, it only taking mere seconds for the device to be ran over.

she frowned, remembering how sad she was when she picked up the broken phone from the crosswalk, and how kai told her that it could've been worse.

"at least it wasn't you," he shrugged, the corners of his mouth tugged up in a boyish grin.

sora's cheeks began to tinge red as her gaze slowly turned to the window across from her own. shaking her head, she fell back onto her bed, kicking her legs out in frustration, "are you crazy? you crazy bitch, seriously!"

"hey! turn off your alarm!" the sound of someone knocking on her door caused her to sit up again.

"ah- sorry, grandpa!" she quickly reached over to her alarm clock, her hand pressing the button to quickly cease the incessant beeping. blowing out a breath, she finally got up from her bed, "just ignore it. yuna likes him. you can't like him."

feeling warm, she walked to her window to open it while she got ready, but paused when she saw kai in his window, doing the same thing. waving, he gave her a smile. blinking as her cheeks turned red and her stomach did twirls, she slowly pushed the window open.

"your mom said i should monitor you a bit closely for the next few days at school," kai's smile never fell as he explained, "she said she's worried that your asthma is acting up again, but she knows you won't tell her if it is." sora only nodded, not sure what to say. "so i'll be a top secret spy for this week. i must relay any and all information about you to your mother."

sora chuckled, moving to get up, but kai called out for her to stop. raising a brow, she turned back to see one of his eyes squinted shut as he held his hand out in front of him. "what are you doing?"

"i can't ruffle your hair from here, so i'm pretending!" he chuckled, then stood from his crouched position, "i'll see you in fifteen minutes!"

biting her lip slightly, sora sat still, her heart beating quickly within her chest. after a minute, she finally got up as she shook her head. "i guess i'll just have to keep it a secret. yeah," she nodded, reassuring herself, "i can do that."

-

after a painfully awkward walk with kai to school, sora immediately ran off from him as soon as the opportunity presented itself. the last thing she needed was for yuna to see them together and suspect something.

as she ran off, kai watched, his eyebrows furrowed. he had wondered why she was so unresponsive on the walk to school, and now he was even more confused while watching her run away. did i do something? he shrugged, turning to walk to his homeroom.

"izumi sora!"

turning at the sound of her name, sora's eyes widened when she realized that yuna was running towards her at full speed, "hey! are you insane?!" yuna slapped the girl on the shoulder, causing sora to hold it in pain.

"are you? why are you hitting me?"

"sorry, sorry," yuna apologized, but resumed being angry 0.5 seconds later, "why didn't you answer my calls or texts? all i heard was honking and kai screaming your name, and then the call cut. don't you realize how worried i was?"

"my, uh- my phone broke."

"oh.." yuna frowned, "so, when are you gonna get a new one?" sora just shrugged, tucking her hands into the pockets of her uniform jacket as she began shuffling away. "did something.. happen?"

with wide eyes, sora turned to yuna, "no! i mean- uh," she cleared her throat, adjusting her tone, "no. why?"

"you're just acting weird."

"must be my withdrawls from my phone," sora chuckled, trying to change the subject, "let's go to class."

buying her cover-up, yuna nodded and looped her arm with sora's, "let's go!"
