"Friends make life better."
I kept staring at that same magnet on the teacher's desk. It's making me think of my friends, how I wish I could be hanging and laughing with them right now. I love them and I love being with them.
Do you love all your friends? Do you think that your friends are really special and irreplaceable? I do. All my friends are unique, special and different from each other. They just have some special quality about them that makes them, well, awesome.
But I'm average. And I hate it. I hate not being special and not having anything that makes me unique. Anything that makes me even remotely different or special, someone else can always do better. I can't even be the best me there is! I'm sure there's someone else who's a better me and there always will be.
So who am I? I'm Kairi Hikari. I have auburn colored hair that's down to my shoulders with side-swept bangs. I have blue eyes. I honestly have no clue about my height but I know I'm taller than 5 feet and shorter than 5'5. I'm skinny but not anorexic. That's the physical description.
Now I'll tell you about my personality. My friends say I'm bubbly, pretty, outgoing, popular, and fun. But they're just being nice. I'm actually pretty shy, self-conscious, average-looking, awkward, and boring. I'm not an outcast, or ugly, or anti-social but there's no way I'm popular, gorgeous, or the social butterfly. I guess I'm just in the middle.
Enough of this though, let's get back to why I was looking at some magnet on a teacher's desk.
The reason I'm thinking about all this right now is because, I'm in detention. I go to Destiny Islands High School; I'm a junior and currently 15 going on 16 in November.
The reason I'm in detention? Oh, it's because of Namine. She was talking to some friends really loud in class and the teacher thought it was me. She doesn't even know it's her fault. She just looked at me surprised when Mr. Demyx pointed at me and announced my detention and then she went back to talking with her friends. I really wanted to tell him it wasn't me and that it was her but I just sucked it up and dealt with it. I'm just lucky he didn't give me any more detentions.
It's been almost an hour and I'm dying to get out of this class! Of course Mr. Demyx isn't even in the room and probably won't come back until it's over but I'm staying in here being a good girl.
I guess I appreciate the time to think though since I've already finished all my homework so far. Being me of course, I choose to think of things that make me depressed and so mad that I want to stomp all over some ugly mushrooms.
Finally the hour's done and I leave muttering a bye to Mr. Demyx as I see him walk by in the hallways. I burst out the front doors breathing in the fresh air of Destiny Islands as I begin my 10 minute walk home.
"I'm back!" I yelled seeing if anyone was there.
"Kairi!" says Xion as she pulls me into a hug. "How was detention? I can't believe that Namine didn't even thank you for taking the detention for her! That's so low and I mean if she can stop being such a flirt for just one minu-"
"Hey Xion, calm down. Thanks for taking my side and all but it's alright. Namine didn't know that she was the reason for my detention and she doesn't have to. It wasn't even all that bad. "I said as I pulled away from my cousin and put my bag down near the sofa.
Then we both sat down on the couch facing each other in our small apartment. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I guess I'm still being kind of mean to Namine because of Roxas."
Ahh, that's right. Xion just realized that she's liked Roxas ever since we were freshmen. And the worst part is, she realized right when he got with Namine about 2 months ago. "I'm sorry, Xion." I looked away from her and started rubbing my arm awkwardly.
"It's not your fault he's with her, Kairi! And even if it is, it's okay. They're both really happy. And I can be happy with just being his friend so it's alright. I'm slowly getting over it."
If you're not sure what she's talking about, she's talking about my past relationship with Roxas. Yup, that's right. I used to go out with Roxas Strife. We were pretty good friends and had a thing for each other so we went out.
After a while though, I felt like my feelings for him were more of a fling but I also had more reasons to break up with him. I couldn't date him without feeling guilty about Xion's feelings for him and because I knew the person he really loved was Namine. A lot of people liked Namine, but Roxas was the only one who truly stood a chance, because he actually loved her, and so did she.
"I'm still sorry, Xion. I shouldn't have told him the girl he really liked was Namine. Maybe than he still would have been single and you could have had a chance with him, even just for a while." I just realized that if I did that, things could have turned out possibly worse.
"Stop saying that, we all pretty much know that Namine and Roxas were made for each other. I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, it's not like Roxas is dating some slut." Xion smirked which made me chuckle.
Everyone saw how some sluts were coming on to Roxas right after our break-up. This definitely helped him hurry up and ask Namine out.
"Riiiiiight." I gave Xion a quick hug then grabbed the remote and turned on the television. We both just sat there quietly enjoying each other's company.
"Hey! You guys! Wait up for me!"
Xion and I turn around to see our good friend Riku. He smiles at us as he catches up then proceeds to give us a group hug. "Gosh, Kairi, you could have called you know."
I laugh a little as I say, "Riku, detention wasn't that bad or interesting, I didn't think it was 'call Riku over the phone and talk for 5 seconds about my boring detention' worthy."
"Oooh, is that back-sass I hear coming from Kairi Hikari?"
"What kind of guy says back-sass?" I say almost laughing my head off.
"It is!" Then Riku decides to put me in a headlock and give me a nuggie all the way to my locker.
"Alright, alright!" I say as I get his arm off me. "You guys can stop laughing now."
"I'm sorry, Kairi. You guys are just so funny." Xion says as she smiles at us both.
"Mm hmm, sure." I open my locker which I share with Xion since she is too lazy to just walk down the hall to hers. We both get our stuff and then walk behind Riku to his locker.
"Well, Kairi, you might be a stick in the mud but I know I'm hella funny, girl!" Riku announces acting cocky. Xion and me just laugh and push him towards his locker. "Ohkay, I see how it is ladies."
"Oh hush up Riku, and just go to your popular friends now!" teased Xion. He gets his things and leans towards Xion whispering, "I guess I will." He backs away, sticking out his tongue while he walks to his other friends. "But you know you're one of those populars too!" he yelled.
"He totally likes you, Xion."
"Whatever you say."
"You like him too! Don't deny it!"
"Hey! Not even! I'm still getting over you-know-who so be quiet!"
"Sure. Come on, let's sit over here," I tell her laughing while we walk into our class.
We talk while we wait for everyone to come in and for class to start. Then surprisingly, Roxas comes and sits next to us instead of Namine.
"Hey, uhmmm, whatcha doing…?" Xion awkwardly asks Roxas while I hold my laughter in at her. It wasn't any surprise she elbowed me in the stomach.
"What? Are we not best friends anymore?" Roxas jokes.
"Awwh, I'm sorry that we forgot we're even your friends since you forgot we exist!" I say sarcastically.
"Hey! You know that I just spend a lot of time with Namine now! She loves watching movies and hanging at the mall all the time! Plus I'm trying to bond more with my brother, Sora!" Roxas immediately starts to defend himself, not getting my sarcasm.
Xion and I just laugh at Roxas' expense. We explain to him that I was only joking as Namine and Riku come over.
You see, Namine, Roxas, Riku, Xion, Sora, Selphie, Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka, are all part of the popular crowd. They tend to stick together and not talk to many others. If you're talking to one of them, odds are the others will come soon unless it's their alone time. And well, in this class, it had Namine, Roxas, Riku and Xion who were sticking together.
"Hey, Roxas," I whisper into his ear, "No offense but I think I'll leave. You know how I don't like being with all of you guys."
"What? Come on Kairi!"
I give him a small smile and leave with Xion since she didn't want me to be alone. A few seconds later Roxas comes back with a huge grin on his face.
"Why are you back here?" I ask.
He fake-gasps. "Rude!" insert boyish chuckle here. "I told you. We're best friends. Plus I want to catch up with you guys. I can hang with those guys anytime."
"You sure, Roxas?"
"Yes. You told me how you feel like when you hang with us apparently popular people, you feel left out as if you're being ignored by us. Well, I'm not gonna do that to you. Okay?"
"Okay." I answer smiling softly.
Xion smiles. "Awwh. That's sweet, Roxas." All he does is smile back as class begins.
Class wasn't actually that bad. The only thing bothering me was that it seemed like Namine was giving me dirty looks but not any to Roxas or Xion.
The popular crowd left us alone and it was nice catching up with Roxas. It was just like old times in middle school before they both got into the popular crowd. Just Roxas, Xion, and me.
I have nothing against them, I actually talk to most of the people in the popular crowd occasionally, and they're cool but I wouldn't say I belong with them. That's why I talk about them as if they're some intimidating clique I don't really like being with, because to me, they really are.
Mhmm, well this is my story! This chapter is kind of an introduction about how Kairi feels about herself, her life and the people in it. And, I know there's not even any Sora and Kairi but there will be soon because I LOVE SoKai! Next Chapter will start getting into the storyline and gradually throughout the story more things will be explained. Review please! (:
