.Day To Day
Kairi's schedule is rather curious, her school friends think. She often has to listen to them lecture her - she should be with them at the movies, or out shopping. She just laughs and nods, but does nothing about it. Her days are laid out like they are for a reason.
She wakes up early - simply because she is a responsible enough girl to go to bed before midnight - unlike the girls from her class. Her school uniform is laid out from the night before, and she takes a quick shower. Breakfast is always set out for her, and she eats alone, taking her time, then washes the dishes despite having been told she doesn't have to.
She walks to school with Selphie, and takes notes in class. She returns home only briefly, to pack a small lunch and to drop off whatever she doesn't need to do her homework. Once she's re-packed she goes to The Island and does her homework on the beach. She sets her school supplies in a high place and kicks off her shoes when she's done, and moves closer to the water to splash her feet in it. Sometimes she sits on the dock, and other times she goes to the Small Island - Riku's Spot.
Wherever she sits, she makes sure she can see the shoreline by the dock. Sometimes she stands on the dock and watches. Stands on the right - because the left is Sora's spot, and Riku's is in the middle. When the sun starts to set, she goes back home, finishes any homework she couldn't bring herself to do in such nice weather, and lays out her clothes for the next day. She has been given a curfew - home by eleven, no questions or excuses. Her bedroom is peaked in on once at midnight, and she is usually already long-since asleep.
Weekends are different. Kairi lays out her casual clothes and puts her uniform in the wash, then pretends to sleep until the curfew has come and gone. Around one in the morning she changes into the clothes she'd laid out. She listens at the door for half an hour, then climbs out her bedroom window. She has fallen only once, and quickly learned that it was quite loud.
She goes back to Destiny Islands, and sits on the beach, and waits. Selphie and some other kids from town show up around one in the afternoon and sometimes have to wake her up. They think she was napping, so it's not a problem, and she says she's only been there an hour or so. It's a lie, but she doesn't want them to worry, or worse, somehow force her not to do this.
She knows they'll return to this island, rather than the Island they live on.
So she waits, faithfully, everyday.
Until she starts to forget.
