Having braces is a real pain in the… donkey. Yeah, you heard right. I'm not even supposed to have braces! I'm 14 and my teeth are to perfection…
At least that's what I thought. Okay so my teeth aren't the best of looking. The small gap between my two front teeth that my friends teased me about and the small overbite I had.
"Aw Kairi! You're little gap makes you even more adorable!"
"I hate you…"
"Look Sora! It makes her even more adorable when she's angry."
"Go rape a donkey."
So they weren't really teasing me, more like telling me how my gap was adorable. My mom even thought it made me look cuter!
"Kairi-Chan, I totally disagree with your father that you should get braces to close your gap. It just makes you look too cute!" My mom lost my interest after she said totally.
What parent says 'totally' these days?
If you haven't guessed, my father opposed to my gap. No matter how "adorable" or "cute" it was. So that's why I'm here today! Little Kairi Marie Sanchez, sitting in a dentist chair with these scary looking tools on a little medal table, waiting to be forced inside my mouth.
"Ah, good morning Kairi."
Oh no. The dentist dude man or whatever was here. He had one of those blue mask things that go over your mouth on and a long gown like blue thing. Yeah, I'm not very good of what those things are actually called.
"Hello…"
"How are you today," he asked me kindly.
How the hell do you think I feel? I feel happy that I'm going to be nicknamed "Brace Face" for the rest of my middle school life and beginning of my High School year! Oh yeah, I feel just peachy!
"I'm fine." I lied. I totally just lied.
"Well that's wonderful! Shall we start now Ms. Sanchez?" The doctor smiled at me, or at least I think he did.
No.
"Yes."
"Kairi…?"
"Go die."
There I was in school. At what I thought was the ONLY safe place for me. The girls' restroom, but then here comes little Ms. Sunshine. Selphie Tilmitt. Damn her. DAMN HER TO HECK!
"What's wrong," She knocked on my locked stall.
"Nothing."
"Something."
Damn her for knowing me to well. As I said before, DAMN HER TO HECK!
"Selphie… it happened." I said slowly.
"You're pregnant?"
"No you goofball! I got…br-" I couldn't even say it.
"You got a bra?" Selphie said through the other side of the stall.
How slow can she be? I told her the week before I got my braces that I was getting them.
"No. I got my braces!"
Silence.
A little more silence.
Okay, now insert a laughing Selphie and me with an anime sweat-drop falling from the side of my head.
"What a nice friend you are…"
"Kairi braces aren't that bad!" Selphie laughed.
That's what you think, hun. Just because you don't have braces. Curse you Selphie and your damn perfect teeth!
I walked out the little blue stall and stood in front of Selphie with a frown plastered on my face.
"Smile babe!" Selphie said with a huge grin on her face.
"Go rape a cactus."
"Your comebacks are lame," Selphie giggled.
"Just smile Kairi," Selphie frowned all of a sudden.
I quickly smiled and quickly closed my mouth. Selphie obviously wasn't satisfied as she tapped her foot.
"Wha-?"
I was cut off as she started attacking me in a tickle attack. Once she got a good look she stopped.
She started laughing again. I was getting annoyed at her.
"What?"
"You have purple braces! They're kawaii!" Selphie said.
It was true. My braces were purple, but I didn't pick them out. It was my father. I clearly told him I wanted those clear braces where people couldn't tell you had them on and stuff and he got me purple. Really, how do you get clear and purple mixed up?
"They're not kawaii, they're ugly." I frowned at her.
"Kairi if it makes you feel better, Sora and Riku will probably still hang out with you… you know… when no one they know is around. It might ruin their reputation." Selphie started to laugh again.
"What reputation? I've known those goofballs since I was 5 and I never seen them with a reputation. If they're reputation is always competing over my attention and annoying the hell out of me, I'm sure no one else cares."
"Well anyway, we better get to class." The bell was heard of the loud speakers, signaling school was officially starting.
"Being 14 is a pain in the-"
"Don't finish that sentence," Selphie turned around and glared at me.
Heh, who ever said I was?
