Kairi woke up bight and early on Monday morning. She lumbered downstairs, still half-asleep, she tried to grope for the hand rail. She couldn't find one, consequently falling down the stairs in a very unfashionable manner.
"Holy Crap..." she muttered, rubbing her head, as she walked through into the kitchen. She sat down, and snaffled the last piece of toast which Axel had been about grab.
"HEY! GIMME MY TOAST!" Axel shouted indignantly, he wasn't having his little sister take his toast. He'd only had four already, he needed five to make the breaking point.
"Sorry, you snooze; you lose!" Kairi reminded him cheerfully.
Ariel's (A/N: I've no idea how you spell her name!!) head popped round the corner of the alcove. How she actually fit round the back of it was a mystery to everyone in the family.
"Come on now, stop fighting! I've got more!" At this comment, Axel showed a greedy smile and rushed to the toaster, "Have you got your bag packed Kai?" Ariel asked her eldest daughter. Kairi gave a sort of muffled squeak and hurried to the hall, before stopping and remembering that she was sick.
"Mum, I can't go to school today..." she began, hoping with all the hope that she could muster that her mother would let her stay at home. She didn't want to go today, not today, or tomorrow, or the day after that, or after that, or that, or that...
"And why not?" Ariel asked her daughter firmly, she was flipping pancakes for Naminé who was waiting eagerly, as Axel was still munching down his toast.
"Because I'm sick," Kairi told her mother. She wasn't going to go into details, oh no.
"Well, you're not sick anymore, you're going to school, bye bye, off you go, bag packed, homework done, uniform ON! Now march up those stairs Kairi," she ordered Kairi. Kairi sighed angrily, and stomped up the stairs, ready to rip her uniform to shreds and blow her books to smithereens.
.O.x.O.
Kairi stood next to Axel as he talked to his friends. She needed to stay with him if she didn't want to be pushed into some puddle or something. Axel was talking to Demyx. Kairi liked Demyx; he was one of the very, very, very, very few people who didn't mind her, and sometimes stood up for her. Axel's other friends included: Larxene, who was in the even fewer minuscule group of people who had almost befriended Kairi, and Zexion, who was almost in that group because when all of Axel's friends came over, Zexion would go into Kairi's room and read. Odd, but Kairi liked him for that.
They pretty much the only people Kairi knew out of Axel's friends. She knew there were more, but Axel had decided against letting Kairi know who they were. They'd probably try and beat her up or something.
"So, Kairi, anything ... erm ... mean ... ? Happen to you lately?" Demyx asked Kairi, who suddenly fell out of daydream world with a bump.
"Wh-What? Oh- Oh yeah, erm ... well, yesterday..." she thought back to yesterday. To be honest he hadn't been that mean. He could be mean though. She knew he could be worse, much worse. Maybe, he was laying off her. Maybe. Or maybe the chips were doing it. They probably could.
Chips. Chips make life better. Much better. That's what she needed. Chips.
Demyx knelt down to Kairi's level and looked her in the eye, "Kairi, did anything happen to you yesterday?" Kairi knew that Demyx wouldn't go beating people up, so she could tell Demyx freely because Axel had gone off to talk to his 'other' friends. But even so, Sora hadn't done anything to her yesterday. She knew he could be worse, much worse. And since when was Demyx this keen to know whether Sora had been being mean to her?
"No, I was fine, nothing happened," Kairi told him happily, even so, there was a gulpy skip in her voice which made everything not seem fine. Kairi wanted to get away from his prying brain, so she merrily wandered off. Please Don't Notice Me, please don't notice me, pleasedon'tnoticeme... drifting off into her train of thoughts, she didn't notice the boy behind her. Ironic really.
"There you go Fairy, I'm sure you'll enjoy that!" Sora sniggered after he had pushed Kairi into the nearest slump of snow. But not only was it snow, it was also, mud, rocks and partly brick from where the builders had been working next door. Lucky, lucky, lucky girl. Her face was not only cold, numb and sore, but it was also dirty, bleeding and scraped. She wanted to just stay in the nice big pile of snow. Stay there and die. But she got up with all the dignity she had left, which was still none, and left Sora, his cronies, and everyone watching and laughing.
She went straight to the girls' bathroom, to wash all the mud and blood off her face. Once she stepped in, she breathed a sigh of relief. Larxene was there. If anyone was in there, Kairi would've hoped it to be Larxene. As soon as Larxene saw Kairi, the younger burst out crying, letting all the tears she'd been holding fall.
"Aw, c'mere," Larxene welcomed Kairi into a hug, "Sora right?" Kairi mumbled a 'mm hmm'. Larxene let Kairi go and looked at her face, "Jeez, he doesn't know when to stop does he. Come on, let's have a look at this face then," Larxene started to get some wet tissue and dab at Kairi's face until all the mud and blood had been washed away and all that was left was the scrapes and cuts.
Larxene smiled at Kairi, "Better?" Kairi nodded, and as if on cue, the loud and monotonous bell resounded throughout the school. Making many a kid clamp their hands over their ears. "Off to class with you now! Have fun, try to stop Sora from pushing you into things, now, bye!" Larxene waved as Kairi exited from the bathroom, feeling a lot better.
"Aw, look at Fairy-diddums!" crooned Riku, one of Sora's cronies, as he pinned Kairi to a wall. She winced as he punched her in the stomach and then let her drop to the floor.
"Subtle, Riku, subtle..." she muttered, under her breath, as Sora came up and high-fived his friend. She stood up and began her journey of through hell and back. In fact, she felt like she'd probably prefer Hell to school. Because school meant Sora. And Sora meant worse than Hell.
.X.o.X.
Monday, 12th November
I think Riku went a bit far when he shoved Kairi to the wall and punching her. I felt really sorry for her. I can't stand it when people start hurting her, she doesn't deserve it. But, what can I do? What can I do?
.O.x.O.
When Kairi reached her locker at lunch, she was wary. Last time she had opened her locker, all her books were missing, the time before that, all her books fell on her head, the time before that there was a time bomb. No one had any idea what would happen when it went off. Not even Sora himself. But, apparently, on that same day there was a hurricane. Coincidence? They didn't think so, but they were eleven at the time. Yeah, Kairi didn't open her locker that much.
As Kairi opened her locker for the first time in eight months, she had her eyes squeezed tight shut and she had her body positioned at the side so that nothing could fall on her. As she pulled, she realised that she couldn't open her locker. She opened her eyes, and tried the sequence of numbers again, still failing. She pulled and pulled at her locker. It wasn't working. She shrugged and left it. She wasn't going to waste time when she could be eating chips on opening a locker which would have had something horrible waiting for her inside.
She left school with some older students to go to the chip store near school. At least the chips were on her side.
Chips. Chips make life better. Much better. That's what she needed. Chips.
.X.o.X.
"Kairi, you're fat," Axel told his sister bluntly. Kairi looked down at her tummy. She didn't look fat. Did she? Well, compared to Axel she did. Anyone compared with Axel looked morbidly obese. She sucked in her stomach.
"So! You want me to walk around like this do you?" she asked playfully, waltzing around, in a fairly humerous way, her chest sticking out and her ribs fairly visible underneath her pink and white dress. She had decided to change out of her uniform as soon as she got home. Uniforms depressed her. No wonder.
"Guys! Come into the kitchen and greet your guest!" Kairi could hear her mother call from the kitchen. The auburn haired girl inflated her deprived stomach of air again and wandered into the kitchen. Naminé was sitting on the guest's lap and he looked a bit ... offish with her there. Naminé was just chatting away about things to him, and he was nodding, very, very slowly. Kairi pouted and sat on the small sofa and the back of the room. Why was he and his brother always at her house.
"So, Cinds, as I was saying. He didn't seem too happy with the outcome of the finals. He was..." Kairi flopped her head on the sofa, as she listened to her mother talk to the traitor's mother about the swimming finals. Her mum worked as a swimmer and was usually paid money for being one. Her dad was never around. He was a soldier and was never there. She wondered whether he would be home for Christmas. Last year he wasn't and Naminé had cried all day.
"Hi ... Kairi..." murmured a voice next to her. Kairi looked up, and was face to face with none other than the traitor's twin. Her mouth started bobbing up and down like a fish's.
"Nice look Kairi! Try it at school, I'll betcha'll get some friends then- OW!" Kairi laughed as Naminé hit him for not paying attention to her. But then she pouted as she realised that he had just been horrible about her.
"Heh, my brother's stupid sometimes, just ignore him," Roxas told her.
"Oh I do, I do..." Kairi told him, glaring at Sora, who pulled a playful face at her. She gasped quietly, when was the last time he had actually been playfully mean to her. He hadn't been mean, he had been playful! There was a difference. Sora blushed and turned away. Roxas giggled nervously.
"Anyways... erm..." Roxas started, not quite sure what to say.
"Do you want to go watch some TV in the other room?" asked Kairi, happily, taking Roxas' hand and leading him into the living room, on her way out she stuck her tongue out at Sora who still had Naminé chattering to him on his lap.
