I know I haven't written in a long time, but I hope you read, review and enjoy :)
The room was deathly quiet as Kaoru Kamiya stared at the screen in front of her. 'I failed,' she thought as the tears started to roll down her face. Soon, on controllable sobs racked her petite frame. It was only her first semester in college and she failed half her classes. The F's on the screen stared at her, in almost an accusing way. The words slipped out of her mouth without even thinking. "I'm a failure," she said. Her boyfriend, Kenshin, held her tight and said "no baby, it's my fault. I was the one who told you to skip all those classes. Don't blame yourself." Kaoru shook her head uncontrollably. "No, it's my fault. I'm a failure. My mom's never going to let me see you again. I'm going to be a hobo, and live on the streets," she yelled, tear streaming down her face. Kenshin shook his head and whipped the tears off her face. "No baby," he said "you are not going to live on the streets and you are eighteen, your mom can't keep us apart." Kaoru nodded uncertainly. "Come on baby, let's get you in the shower, ok?" "Ok."
In the bathroom Kenshin started up the shower moving the taps to make the water a warm temperature. Kaoru started to take off her tank top but Kenshin stopped her. "Let me do it," he said with a crooked smile, "you know you love it when I undress you." Kaoru nodded dumbly and did nothing as her boyfriend started to strip her. When he had finished taking her clothes off, and groping her a few times she stepped into the shower. The water was cold to her, well it was warm but it could have been hotter. She quickly adjusted the taps to make the water hotter, even though Kenshin hated overly hot water, but she didn't care, not now. Kenshin stepped into the water behind her and winced slightly at the temperature, but said nothing. Kaoru stood there, not saying I thing as Kenshin tried to make a joke and get her to laugh; his plan worked, for the moment. Then he tried to make out with her, but his advances were turned down. "Kenshin, I don't need endorphins; I need to finish this shower eat something then take a nap," said Kaoru finally fed up with her boyfriend. Kenshin sighed in defeat and allowed his girlfriend to finish.
Kaoru shook her short black hair out when she exited the shower. She put on a blue tank top and black cargo pants, and then left the bathroom. The living room was clean for once, because of the party later that night most likely.
Later that night she was on her third drink, all of which equaled 5 shots of vodka. She was dancing in her seat on the couch and watched the movie on the screen. All thoughts of failing three classes her first semester in college had faded, and the alcohol induced fun she was having was the only thing on her mind; for then, until she woke up the next morning.
The next morning she woke up at seven thirty, went into the living room to see two of her friends passed out on the couch. She giggled slightly and turned on the TV and started watching a movie. Thirty minutes later her boyfriend joined her on the couch, saw what she was watching and made a face. "Why are you watching this movie," he asked. "What, I love this movie! Bruce Willis does an amazing job, it's funny and actiony; how can you go wrong," she asked rhetorically. He shook his head at her and asked her what kind of donut she wanted.
Later that day, as her boyfriend and friends played video games; Kaoru got on her lap top and did some research. Right under her boyfriend's nose, she planned a trip, a trip out of her city, her state, and her country. She looked at flight prices, hotel prices, food and drink prices, and actual flat prices. Together it all equaled well over one thousand US dollars. 'I can do that,' she thought, 'but can I go through it?' She sighed quietly and saved the page where the living prices were, and the document she had all of her data on. If things didn't get better, leaving everything sounded like a damn good idea.
