A/N: After a very looooong hiatus, I've finally decided to post something that is well, quite something based on my own experience. Bear with some grammar mistakes because I'm not exactly an English expert and I don't have any proof-reader, so grammar nazis, if you're not prepared for some gram's mistakes then buzz off! Because this could (probably) kill you :/
Summary: Sora and Naminé are enemies for life, but what if your best friend likes your enemy? And your enemy likes you? But you like someone else? What if a certain new guy enter their life? Oh dear diary, how could this be complicated? AU. Namixas.
Have fun reading guys!
Too Old for Diaries
Polymoly
Chapter 1: Nostalgia
Hey there new diary! Welcome to my not-so-great life. Yeah well, not so optimistic for a 14-year-old kid I suppose, but meh, I still don't think my life will ever be perfect. Okay so before I continue on let me rewrite what had been going on before I had you (new diary).
Because of MSN, you know, the chatting thingy, I finally got a way to talk better with my friends! I'm not the hyperactive-talkable-likeable kind of person and plus, I'm great at writing ;D soo, I can keep my friends closer with chatting online. But lately, I got the urge so bad to tease Kai with Sora! I don't know why but I think they're a match for each other (though none of them realize it). It's pretty cute I guess, they're constantly teasing each other and while Sora is an annoying little brat to almost everyone, he has a sweet side to Kai.
So there I was teasing Sora on MSN, cos y'know, we're not exactly friends in real life. Sora was this usual annoying guy taunting me back with his jerky comments and suddenly he asked me if I know the deepest secret that Kai had and that was to whom she liked. I was pretty close to her at that time so yeaah I had a huge advantage on my side. I pretended to know Kai's secret to Sora but to honest, I had her secret like a year ago, so I wasn't sure that my secret had reached the expired date or not. I think I was pretty lonely at that time and frankly talking to Sora is really nice. He was a jerk but he kept me laughing all the time (in front of the screen, lol). So from that point on, he kept bugging me everyday on MSN to reveal Kai's secret but I wouldn't say so and that conversation started regularly – daily even until the point where a day without chatting with him was just not right.
"Naminé, dinner's ready"
"Yeah mom, coming" I snatched my dusty old diary and marked the page as I made my way out to the dining table. Hayner and my mom already were sitting while preparing the meals; waiting for me and my dad to come.
"So, how's today hon? What did you do with your friends today?" My mom asked Hayner. Yup, you guessed it, Hayner is my younger brother – oops you might have thought he's my older bro right? He's two years younger than me and in case you don't know, I'm 17 now starting last March. There are two words to describe my lil bro as a whole; skateboards and computer. He cannot, I repeat, simply cannot live without either of them. He breathes with computer and eats with his skateboard.
"…It was fun" Oh and did I mention Hayner was a complete reserved person? "Nothing else? How's Pence? He's in great shape?" asked my mom completely unsatisfied with my brother's previous answer.
"He's okay mom," said Hayner shortly. Giving up, my mom started to pick me as her next target. "So, did you finish cleaning up your room?"
"Yeah, about that… Almost finish, just a few more mess…" Before my mom could comment anything about it, I said "Don't worry mom, I promise it will be over before bed" My mom nodded as an approval and we continued eating with a few conversation sparked between my parents and I.
After finishing dinner, I hurried myself to my bedroom and continued reading my old diary. Spring cleaning was never my thing but I always love reminiscing about my childhood. Especially if I found something antique like an old birthday gift from my bestie back then, or an old drawing of mine that I drew at kindergarten. Those things just made me smile unknowingly.
Scanning through my lousy kid-handwriting, I continued reading what I left before,
…Before I knew it, I was in ninth grade now! Oh how fast things go really. Anyway, long story short, I like Riku. Ssshh! Don't tell anyone okay? I'm way too shy to tell anyone about this. He was in my class last year (8th grade) and he was one of my best friends too. He always tells me everything, even his crushes! But lately, he hasn't been telling me who he likes. That worries me. And now I even like him! How can things get any worse than this? Oh it can, of course. He's now in one class as Kai. Y'know how Kai's been getting all the guys she want. She's sooo perfect. I'm not surprise if by the end of the year, Riku and Kai got engaged or something (yeah I'm just exaggerating). Anyways, I can tell you all the mushy stuff Riku did to me that made me fall for him but I won't :P In case someone else instead of Naminé Haromi read this, I think I'll run away to Alaska and hide myself for the rest of my life.
So yeah! That's the prologue of my not-so-great life. Surprised? Not!
By this point, I chuckled a bit reading my own diary. Weird? Probably. I flipped the next page and found this amusing;
My current profile (2008):
Name: Naminé Haromi – usually nicknamed Nami.
Age: 14 and counting.
Address: Twilight town Mainroad 504.
School: Twilight Town Middle School.
Loves: Drawing, watching, reading (esp. Harry Potter), eating fries.
Hates: Pets, adrenaline, height, ghosts, Sora (that jerk).
BFFs: Kai, Riku, Ollete.
"So this is your so-called-plan to clean the room?" my mom glared at me as her sign of disapproval. "Oh yeah…" I vacantly closed my book and continued to sweep out anything in my sight.
"Teenagers these days," sighed, my mom and walked away from my room. Being a goody-two-shoes, I decided to drive the mess out first then I'll get plenty of time reading every part of my diary.
Now, this is me, a ninth grader who likes her guy best friend which probably likes her best friend. Sounds complicated? Wait till you hear this. So you know how I said before that Sora and Kai are completely a match for each other? I'm right! They both actually like-like each other! Now that's really exciting! I've been chatting with Sora everyday for a whole year and now that I'm close to him, I found him to be a pretty nice guy – occasionally. How do I know Sora likes Kai? We had a deal once; to exchange our own secrets. I told him I like Riku and he told me he likes Kai. Sweet, I know. Too bad both of them seems totally oblivious of their own feelings for each other. Though I must say I'm pretty confused that Kai said Sora didn't have any interest in her… She said Sora never picked up a conversation, or greeted her online. He does that everyday to me… Maybe he's just nervous or something…
My writing trailed off and I was feeling pretty tired. Cleaning really took out most of your energy. I closed my book and checked my new incoming text; it was from Sora.
Hey! Still awake? Need 2 talk w/ u soon! Call me k? ;)
-Sora.
I smiled looking at his text and decided to call him despite my sleepiness starting to eat me. Of course it's always like this for the past few months. Either me or Sora would take turns calling each other in the middle of the night and just talked anything that was in our minds. It was crazy. Even I had been scolded once by my parents for calling him until four in the morning. Yeah, even I admitted it was pretty crazy myself.
"Hello? Sora? What'ca doin'?"
"So glad you call Nami! I missed you so much…"
"What? We've only been apart for like a day you baby!" I heard a chuckle on the other line.
"But at least I'm your baby" his teasing-flirty tone made me want to curl up in my stomach and just die off there because of his adorable tone.
And yup, in case you're wondering, he's my boyfriend.
A/N: There you have it! If you want to read the second chappie, shout it on your review! I don't think I'll post up anything yet unless there's someone waiting for my update. Please tell me if I should continue or not writing this; I'll doubt anyone would read and review also, but a girl can hope, can she? :')
Thanks for reading! Read & review guys! ;)
