I Wish You Can Feel the Same
A Naminè/Roxas Story
Chapter 7: Notebook, Notebook, in my Hands…
Normal P.O.V
Giggles and laughter echoed the empty high school parking lot as two teenage girls-a redhead and a blonde-exited the wooden double doors.
"Do y-you think they've killed each other yet?" Kairi asked, trying to catch her breath from running, and also containing her laughter.
'Knowing Roxas and his slight temper, Naminè thought, he probably just badly maimed him.' Naminè rolled her eyes. "Haha, I suppose," she chuckled, shaking her head. Kairi snorted, indicating she agreed.
The both of them took a seat on one of the blue benches, breathing heavily. They took moments just to catch their breath, until Kairi shot out her hand out.
"I'm Kairi! Nice to meet you!" she greeted kindly. Now that Naminè thought about it, they haven't introduced each other ever since the incident outside the music room.
"I'm Naminè," she said sheepishly, shaking her hand with Kairi. After letting go, Naminè unconsciously grasped at the area near her armpit, only to feel nothing but air. She gasped, and lifted her arm, looking worriedly at the empty space. She checked her hands; nothing was there. She searched frantically at the area around the bench, but the item wasn't there. 'Oh no…' she thought, cursing her luck. Where could've it gone? She swore it was with her when she was running aimlessly around the school campus. She must've lost it around the hall of the school! She calmed down for a moment, until another thought struck her. What if she dropped it around where Roxas and his friend were at? She froze, all color draining from her face. They must've found it by now.
"Haha, what's wrong, Naminè? 'Looks like you just saw a ghost or something!" Kairi acknowledged, laughing at Naminè's frightened expression.
"Uhm, Kairi, you wouldn't happen to know where I might've dropped the black notebook I was holding earlier?" she questioned meekly, her nerves getting the best of her. She was fidgeting as she watched Kairi tapping her chin, looking up to the sky.
"Hmm, nope, not at all. Why? Was there something else in there besides songs?" she recalled, seeing Naminè's face lose more color than before, if that was possible.
"I would be lying if I said no," Naminè whispered, frowning. Kairi's mouth made an 'o' shape, before patting the blonde's back.
"C'mon! We can still look for it! Let's go!" Kairi said, tugging on her arm. Naminè felt-reassured-at least someone would help her search the school.
"Thank you," Naminè said, very gratefully, jogging back into the school, side-by-side with Kairi.
"Where do you think it's at?" Kairi asked.
Naminè explained the possible choices as the wooden double doors of the high school closed behind them.
oOo
"Hey, would you stop it?" Sora yelled at his best friend, trying to get out of his headlock.
"Well, you started it!" Roxas yelled back, restraining Sora with his headlock.
They quarreled for another 5 minutes, bickering on whom started it and escaping each other's death grips. Once Sora got of Roxas' headlock for the umpteenth time, he swayed backwards, falling onto this bottom as he slipped on something. Roxas busted out laughing, rudely pointing his finger at Sora.
"Ow…" Sora groaned, looking around for the culprit. Once a black notebook came into view, he took a hold of it, and hoisted himself up.
"Hey, isn't this Naminè's?" Sora asked, pulling Roxas out of his laughing fit. Roxas sped over, grabbing the notebook. On the front, it had Naminè's name neatly printed on the front.
"Well, aren't you going to open it?" Sora asked, looking at the notebook curiously. Roxas shook his head no. It was her notebook, and there might be things in there that she wouldn't let even him see.
"Well, didn't you say it was her song notebook? Then there should only be songs in there! And since you've been stalking her every day after school, even though you shouldn't, because you have a girlfriend, you should've heard her songs already! Can we just take a peek? We'll give it back to her, I promise!" Sora rambled on, earning a smack to the head, particularly because of his accusation of stalking Naminè and bringing up Olette.
But he did have a point. Naminè did show him what was inside that once time, and she wouldn't know that they looked at it. He ran through the possible pros and cons of the situation, before caving in.
"Only a little peek, got it? Then we'll just say we found it at the end of this hall," Roxas sighed, while Sora squealed like a little boy getting a lollipop.
Roxas ran his fingers along the closed pages of the notebook, pulling a section gently with his fingers. Sora glanced around, and seeing no one that would rat them up, nodded to Roxas. He got the signal and opened the notebook to a random song.
Like what Sora said, there was just a song, and it's lyrics. This time, the song's name was Something about Love. (1) The pair skimmed through the lyrics, flipping the page to see if there was more.
"Wow, she's a great songwriter!" Sora exclaimed-Roxas just nodded.
As they finished, Roxas glanced at the very bottom of the notebook, and saw in bold-he assumed she wrote it in pen-but small font the word 'Back Story'.
But as soon he discovered it, he heard footsteps. Thinking that he would be caught again, he quickly shoved the notebook under his shirt, slightly tucked in his pants (2), and wrapped his arm around the brunette's neck, making him gag.
"What the hell, Roxas?" Sora screeched, just in time as Kairi and Naminè happened to walk by.
oOo
"What else was in that notebook anyways?" Kairi asked looking inside an empty trash can.
Naminè blushed, and momentarily stopped looking behind a potted plant. "Uhm, well, I was chosen to sing a solo at the school's concert that was coming up.
So the principal let me stay afterschool in the music room so I could practice. Since I had time, I thought it would be cool so say some kind of back story so people could take a peek of how I get my inspiration. But if a…certain person gets a hold of it, then he would see that I get most inspiration of writing songs from my experiences with him. It would get awkward if he found out," Naminè explained, sighing.
"Awh! Like, for a crush or something?" Kairi asked. Naminè couldn't suppress a smile.
"Yeah, something like that."
They kept searching the main hall, but to no avail. They looked in the lost-and-found in the office, and even in the library. Naminè was starting to lose hope.
"I'm sorry I brought you into this," Naminè apologized to Kairi. Kairi pouted.
"Hey, no worries! Don't worry, we'll find it! Where else do you think you dropped it?" Kairi flashed a smile and thumbs up.
"The music room…" she trailed off.
"Right! To the music room we go!" Kairi said, trying to sound reassuring.
The two of them were near the music room, before they heard gagging and someone yelling, "What the hell, Roxas!"
They strolled in casually, just to see a nonchalant Roxas who captured a struggling Sora in a headlock. 'Maybe they've seen it,' Naminè thought hopefully.
"Sorry, but have you seen a black notebook around here?" Naminè asked, looking to Roxas. He could see the distressed look she held. But it would look bad if he pulled the notebook from under his shirt and gave it to her. So he shook his head no, giving her a sincere look.
"Sora?" Kairi asked her beau, narrowing her eyes. He shook his head too, indicating he didn't 'know' where it went either.
Naminè blew air out her mouth, disappointed, but a little happy. Disappointed they haven't seen her precious notebook that see really needed for the concert, but happy that Roxas didn't see what she wrote for the back stories.
"Maybe it's somewhere else in this hall. And Roxas, would you be a dear and let go of my boyfriend?" Kairi asked, grabbing a hold of Naminè's wrist as they turned to leave.
Roxas let go of Sora-who was rubbing his neck and cursing at Roxas under his breath- and lifted his arms up in surrender. Naminè swore she saw a rectangular indent inside Roxas' shirt, but let it go.
Once they were out of sight, Roxas relaxed.
He promised himself he would give it back as soon as he was done reading.
End of Chapter.
Ending Author's Note: Yeah, I don't really like the ending. But at least I got something up, you know?:p Like always, review! Constructive criticism is seriously appreciated!
Also, I hope you had a great Easter! I almost didn't get to go Easter egg hunting, because my mom thought I was too old to do something like that ._. You are never too old to enjoy something as fun as that!
That song is by David Archuleta, if you guys want to check it out!
Who else laughed at that part? I couldn't stop laughing when I wrote that.

P.S. I finally beat that Cave of Wonders Boss in Agrabah! OMG, I'm so happy! That part seriously annoyed the hell out of me.
