Things Are Not Always As They Seem

Prologue

"Now boarding, flight A12."

As the announcer spoke on the intercom the butterflies in her stomach fluttered. A teenage girl sat quietly in the waiting area of an airport nervously twiddling her thumbs. Her auburn hair covered her eyes as she stared down into her lap. Her hair fell to her shoulders in the front, but was a little shorter in the back. The difference wasn't that noticeable. She was dressed in summery attire consisting of a bright pink tank top and an old pair of jean capris. The age was obvious because of the several patches stitched onto the jeans; they looked like they had been through a lot. On her feet was a pair of pink and white clogs that also had a bit of wear and tear to them. The yellow shoelaces on the shoes were unraveling and the material was slowly tearing. Near her feet was a red bag full of her belongings that she couldn't live without. She sighed quietly, but happily.

Still, she was so excited. She couldn't believe she had actually won a sweepstakes. She was so excited she had forgotten what she was supposed to do. Her flight had just been called, yet she was still glued to her chair. Her heart was pounding. Her face felt hot and she felt as if time had paused just for to wait for her anxiety. This was it! It was her moment to shine. She was sure she would probably never have another opportunity like this in her life. And to think it all started with her least favorite soda, Pepsi.

"Come on, Kairi!" Selphie whined as she grabbed Kairi's arm and swung it around.

"Fine!" she exclaimed snatching her arm away from Selphie's grasp. "Here's the money, we'll both get Pepsi," Kairi replied slightly annoyed. There was a distinct frown on her face. It was a frown that said 'why am I doing this?'

"Yeah!" Selphie exclaimed happily jumping around the convenience store. Selphie took the money from Kairi's hand and quickly frolicked over to the freezer where the sodas were stored. Selphie then frolicked to the cashier to pay for the drinks with Kairi's money. Luckily, there was no line so Kairi would not end up further annoyed by having to wait for a soda she didn't like.

A few moments later, Selphie rejoined her annoyed friend outside of the store. "Hey! These bottles have a sweepstakes wrapper on it, maybe we can win?" Selphie exclaimed cheerfully.

"Yeah, a one out of a million chance," Kairi replied doubtfully. Regardless, the two of them opened the bottles and looked at the cap anyway. Curiosity never hurt anybody.

"I won!" They both squealed excitedly.

She smiled because of her memory; it had only been a week since then so it was still fresh in her mind. Though, she was pretty sure that memory would be around for a while. How could she forget the moment she won a sweepstakes? She closed her eyes tightly trying to remove herself from the chair, but had no luck.

She was so nervous. Hawaii was so far away; she wasn't sure she was ready to embark on this adventure just yet. She didn't want to leave, but at the same time she did. She was confused and nervous and scared all at once. Such anxiety.

"Kairi!"

Her head jerked up displacing the bits of auburn hair. "Coming!" Kairi answered loudly earning her some stares from some bystanders. Kairi lifted her carry-on luggage from the ground and ran after Selphie who was already on her way to boarding the airplane. 'Hawaii here I come!'

A/N: Okay that was the prologue. Please submit a review. That would be very nice.
