Ch. 1
Kairi leaned up against the wall. "When are they gonna get here Grandma?" She asked her grandmother Doris impatiently.
"Kairi, I do believe you mean 'going to'. And the first one should be arriving soon. Her name is Naminé. Her mother is a famous artist. I believe I have some of her art hanging up in the library." Doris stated. She was a kindly old woman, who used ot be a model in her youth, but looked very good for her age, which she wouldn't tell anyone.
Kairi obviously didn't care, and was gazing out the window, intently looking out at the blue sea.
"Kairi, is something troubling you? Are you nervous?" Doris asked her, her brow slightly wrinkled.
"Oh, nothing, I guess I'm just a bit anxious for their arrivals." She said letting out a sigh.
"Kairi, I've told you. Being anxious is not good for the mental health." Her grandmother stated sternly.
Kairi just blew a bubble with her gum. "I'm just gonna go chill up in my room for a while." She started to go up the stairs.
"Dear, 'going to'. And okay. I'll have Elliina call you down when the first teen arrives."
"Okay Grandma. See you in a bit." She sprinted up the stairs without looking back.
Doris sighed. "I guess I just can't tell what she's feeling anymore." She headed off to her office.
Upstairs, Kairi was sitting on her window seat. She was gazing out at the blue-green sea. She sighed deeply as a single tear rolled down her smooth cheek. She blinked solemnly. Kairi missed her parents. They had died in a car accident a few years before, and after that she had came here to live with her grandmother Doris Hikari at the Hikari Boarding House. Every year, starting in the summer, her grandmother accepted some teenagers to live in the house. And they would stay there until the next summer.
Kairi called herself a normal, plain girl. Boring at most. She had claret hair, a little beyond her shoulders, that she had pulled back in a high ponytail. She was wearing a pair of faded skinny jeans, and a pair of mismatch, brightly colored ankle socks, with a pair of Adidas sandals on over them. Her shirt was a pale blue over-the-shoulder shirt, with a black tank-top underneath. And she had shining pale indigo eyes, which she said were very dull and bland. Over all, in anyone else's opinion, she was quite pretty.
She blinked rapidly, and broke off of her staring session. She heard a knock on her door.
Elliina peeked her round face in. "Kairi, your grandmother would like to see you. She said that the first arrival is here." Elliina was very kind hearted, but she could be snotty and mean at times. She was quite round; the shape of a plum. She had platinum blonde hair that was styled in a short bobcut. She was pretty Kairi guessed.
Kairi scratched the back of her head and took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing," she muttered. She hopped off of the window seat and started heading out the door, with Elliina close behind.
When she got downstairs, she knocked on her grandmother's office door.
"Come in," Doris said, in a sing-songy voice. Kairi walked in, and was stunned.
She saw a beautiful girl, with creamy porcelain skin. She had golden blond hair cascading over one shoulder, and a little bit hanging down in the back. She had pale pink lips, and the deepest, most gorgeous blue eyes she had ever seen. She was wearng a white dress with a pale blue ribbon around the middle, which fit snugly around her thin waist and around C-cup chest. She had on a pair of white shoes, with wooden platforms, that fit her feet well. She also had nice legs. She blinked her long, volumous eyelashes, and turned her head to look at Kairi.
"Oh, Kairi, you're here." Doris said, grimacing slightly at Kairi's apparel. Doris shook her head, and smiled gracefully. "Kairi, this is Naminé Kokoro, and Naminé, this is my grand-daughter Kairi."
Naminé stood up gracefully, and held out her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kairi." Naminé said, in a smooth and warm tone. Kairi took her hand and shook it gently, too scared to do it too rough.
"Yeah, nice to meet'cha." Kairi said, zoned out by the mystery girl's beauty.
Doris cleared her throat, and another mystery person was introduced. "Kairi, this is Naminé's mother, Akira. Akira is a world known artist, and I have many pieces of her artwork around the house."
Kairi looked at the woman. God, she was beautiful too. She had long blonde hair, which was hanging down her back. Her eyes glistened a blue-green, and she smiled, showing her white teeth.
"Hi Kairi, nice to meet you." Instead of shaking her hand, she pulled her into a warm hug. "I hope you and my Naminé get to be good friends."
Kairi was at a loss, and was very surprised at the sudden hug. She never really got random bouts of affection. She carefully wrapped her arms around the woman, being sure not to snag Akira's hair in her long fingers. "I bet we will." Kairi said, unsure of what she had gotten herself into.
