Kay kay. Wazzup. Update here ya'll. :D
Chill with the copyrights 'kay? I own nothing.
"Honey! Breakfast is ready!" My mom screamed for the 5th time.
I lied face down on my soft bed, motionless; like how I've been for the last 30 minutes I've been half asleep. My mom was shouting at me and blah blah blah.
I blinked my eyes drowsily then lazily picked up my alarm clock that was, like me, facing the floor.
I looked at the time. It was 5:34. I swore to myself I'd wake up in 5 minutes so, I closed my eyes...
I ran down the stairs quickly, SO quickly. When I opened my eyes my clock said it was already 6:23!
I took a bath then got dressed quickly, I didn't even bother to wear my vest, I just wore my white blouse, with three buttons at the top undone out of rushing, with a beige tube inside, if I didn't have that tube, maybe they wouldn't have let me go inside school... I grabbed the first blue-and-white print school skirt I could find then slipped it on. It was my short one, I noticed only when I was already in the car. See, we bought 3 skirts at the start of the school year, three of all sizes for that purpose, I got the small one. I frowned, unbuttoned top, no vest, jacket in the locker, small-sized skirt. Oh, what luck, I frowned once more.
I got dropped off in front of the school at 6:48. I ran to my locker and took my jacket and all my other stuff then I rushed to my classroom, lucky me it was SO close to my locker.
I went in through the back door but when I opened the door, I felt everyone's eyes on me. My jacket was half-on, the books I held in my hands were a little messy and my bag was slung on my right shoulder. I went to my seat quietly, trying to escape glances.
"Kai... ri?" Namine asked me curiously as I settled my things on the table and straightened out my self. I did one button on my top, leaving the normal two-button-undone thing and I wore my jacket properly then I stretched out my skirt until it was a little closer to my knees, sitting down.
"Yeah?" I said when I was finally done. I looked at my phone, it was 3 minutes 'till the bell.
I let out a HUGE sigh of relief.
"How 'bout you Namine?" I addressed to her out of the blue.
"Huh?" She turned around, still the same mood as late yesterday.
"Mind telling me why you ran off?" I asked her, anxious and too worried.
"I-"
Ring
Hmph. Saved by the bell. Classic.
We sat there, blabbering and waiting for the next teacher, but it wasn't a teacher who entered. It was a third year and a fourth year dude.
The third year having spiky blonde hair and earphones, he looked WAAAAAY too similar to Roxas, he was like a third twin, and the fourth year dude having spikier blonde hair than the other one.
Either way, they were both H-O-T.
I heard some girls swoon. I bet some of them even lost interest in Riku at that very moment.
"Okay, Ms. Tifa ain't here today so we're 'gonna "supervise" you." The fourth year dude said, all cool and hot.
The girls were unmindful and were just staring at them.
I was studying the third year guy, he was like an older version of Roxas... EXACTLY the older version of Roxas, blonde hair, frozen blue eyes... He was quiet, indifferent, cool, good looking, mature... Everything Roxas was.
"Okay okay..." I suddenly heard "Third year Roxas" say in annoyance after the fourth year guy whispered something in his ear.
He stood in front then temporarily took off his headphones and hung them around his neck.
"Name's Ventus, call me Ven. I'm in third year and... yeah... that's all I think 'ya need to know." He said then went back to his original position.
Then the fourth year guy came to the center.
We were all surprisingly quiet, admiring his hotness, even the boys were silent.
"Name's Cloud Strife. Call me Cloud and-" He was saying when a girl in the fifth row with short, black hair interrupted.
"Are you the guy with the hot black motorcycle with the lion-like crest thingy?" She asked with a devilish-teasing smile on her face.
I had seen that black muscle bike. If he was the rider, they were a perfect match, his bike and him. Both hot products of society.
"Yes, Yuffie, that's my bike, Fenrir. And... yeah, and I'm graduating this year. So, yeah." He finished.
"So, What are we supposed to be doing?" Riku asked with a bored tone.
"Well..." 'Cloud' said, the magnificence of his own voice destroying him.
"Well?" Riku interrupted again, sound all jerky. That triggered my easy annoyance.
"Shut up." I stated.
"What?" Riku almost shot back in shock at my confrontation.
"You're being a jerk Riku. Lay it off, just because you lost almost half the girls in this class because they happen to see Cloud in a clearer sense doesn't mean you should act like that." I said straightly.
He didn't look at me in any specific way but, of course, he was annoyed.
"Who asked you?" He said in heat.
"Nobody. I was just butting in." I witted out.
He was about to say a lame come back but the third year guy, 'Ven' stopped him.
"Yo..." Ven called to him when he was about to speak,
"Ladies are respected not offended okay? Stop it please and shut up." He said.
Now Riku was in total dismay. I looked at him in amusement, oh, this class is fun.
I instantly got distracted from my devious thoughts as I saw Mr. Third-Year on his way to my seat.
"You okay?" He asked me with a smile.
... A waaaaay too charming smile. His glance was too hot to handle!
"I- uhh... Yeah, I'm... I'm great." I smiled almost at the break of stuttering.
"Okay." He gave his last smile, man, he was SOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOT!
My heart was like, "tugs tugs tugs tugs tugs".
"Kairi... Are you okay?" Namine tugged me.
"What?"
"You're kinda' staring at him." She snapped at me.
I stopped my sub-conscious action before I'd get caught.
Ring.
The bell came. I 'kinda got sad, they were leaving and yet another teacher was 'gonna come in.
"Okay, well, nice meeting ya'll." Cloud said as Ven went ahead of him.
"Yo Ven!" He called, then they both exited.
A slight frown touched my face.
I lit up a bit when Ven's head poked in and he talked at the kid beside the door.
"Yo Kairi!" Kid called me, signalling me to Ven.
Ven's head disappeared and I walked towards him curiously. I was out of the room when I saw him.
"Kairi? Right?" He said a bit hesitantly.
"Yeah..."
"..."
He didn't talk, as if not knowing what to say.
"'Wanna go out?" He asked me straightly, keeping his cool.
My eyebrow automatically rose a bit at that.
"I..." I was speechless as of that moment.
"Well? you 'wanna hang out? Later? I'll walk you home." I was sure he offered, he just sounded like ordering me.
"Uhmm... Okay. You can walk me home." I agreed.
"Okay. I'll be waiting here after your class. Later." He bid me hotly then went up the stairs.
How in the world did I get that?
I quietly walked back to my seat, I wasn't looking, but I felt my classmate's eyes intently on me, like, waiting for something from me.
"..." Namine was looking at me too when I sat back down.
"What?" I said, a bit dumbly and totally annoyed.
"Nothing." Namine chuckled.
What's up with my best friend?
Ring.
The bell for recess sounded.
I hurried out of the room, still feeling my classmate's stares and glares.
I went to my locker, to get my stuff, Namine not far behind.
"So..." She said as she opened her locker.
"So..." I said, curious about another thing.
"What?" She asked.
I gave her a look. She raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"What happened yesterday? You got a phone call then you ran away all emo, and now, you're acting like nothing happened." I said.
She didn't answer.
"Namine. I'm talking to you." I said, nearly slamming my locker.
She stood up.
"I'll tell you after school... okay?" She said then disappeared like yesterday, all teary-eyed.
Now, I couldn't wait for after school.
...
Finally, we were out of school.
I walked out of classroom.
Then I saw Ven right outside our door.
"Ven." I said, completely forgetting.
"Ready to go?" He asked me.
"Listen, Ven. I... I can't go today. Something came up. Can we do it tomorrow? Please." I hoped, filled with guilt.
"Sure. Take care." He said, emotionless, then walked away.
Okay...
I waited for Namine at the doors, all the guilt and regret in the world burdened on my shoulders.
"Kairi!" She called out then I followed.
We walked home.
"So..." I started.
She was quiet, emo again.
"The one who called me yesterday was my mom... She told me to hurry back to our house, something had happened she said." She started explaining.
-Flashback-
So, I hurried back home.
I got there, when I entered our living room, father, mother, Roxas, a lawyer and a doctor were seated around our coffee table.
I asked what was going on but my father just told me to sit beside Roxas.
I asked him too, but he didn't answer.
He looked sad so, I was on the verge of anxiety by then.
My mother started,
"Honey," She hesitated.
She didn't speak soon after, like she was gathering courage or something.
"Roxas isn't your brother." My father finished then my mother burst into quiet tears.
I was dumbfounded then. I was almost 'gonna cry, I saw a tear fall from Roxas's eye.
"What? Is this like, a joke? Because if it is, it isn't funny!" I exploded, teary-eyed.
I just couldn't believe it.
"Sit down. The hospital where you and him were born got a mix up." My father said.
"Ah, yes. See, Roxas here is not your brother, it shows here," The doctor said, handing me a brown envelope filled with Roxas' documents.
It was true, I read the stats. and he really wasn't my brother.
I almost ran up to my room but I just held back the tears.
"Roxas..." I said,
"How did this happen? How could you have been so careless!" I turned to the doctor.
"Now, Namine. That's not polite..." My father attempted to tame me.
"No!" I burst out.
"You know what's not polite? Having hospital documents confused with another! Having me believe that I actually have a brother to love! All theses years... Why just now?" I asked in so much anger and conflict.
"We're sorry, we understand if you're upset but-" The doctor started.
"No. Sorry doesn't cut it. What if Roxas had a family of his own?" I questioned.
"He does... His mother, unfortunately, died when he was born and his father left them at the hospital. And... he does have a brother..." The doctor said.
Roxas lit up a bit at that, he definitely didn't know it before.
"His older brother's name... is Ventus." The doctor finished.
We were both at shock, we looked at each other knowingly.
Ventus... Ven... it rang a bell. We knew he was a third year student at Destiny High. He was quite popular and we often heard of him.
Then, Ven came to our room and well, we confirmed it. He looked like Roxas, acted like Roxas... he was Roxas' brother. It was definite.
"Then, that ended it." Namine trailed off.
"Roxas isn't your brother." I repeated.
"No.." Namine said.
"'Ya know I 'kinda sensed something. When we were kids, we never cooperated for anything, never played together, never talked... We didn't have anything in common except for our looks and hair. Don't you question why we don't seem like brother and sister?" She asked me.
No.
That was the all-too-obvious answer.
"No." I simply said.
"See?" She said.
"I see... So, what are you 'gonna do now?" I asked her a conflicting question.
"I don't know... I just, lived my whole life with Roxas. And, put aside our arguments, misunderstanding and all that, I like him." She stated,
"He never really felt like a brother to me."
"What?" I said.
Did Namine like Roxas? Like, like like Roxas?
"I remember when we were in fifth grade, we almost kissed." She said, almost laughing.
My eyes widened, no laughter there.
"But we didn't 'cuz it'd be awkward if we did. We were brother and sister." She broke out into a chuckle.
"That's not funny Namine. Now that the awkwardness is out. You can like Roxas... And it seems that you do." I told her.
"And you like his brother; Ven." She said.
"Don't change the subject. At least Ven wasn't and isn't my brother." I said.
"Whatever." She shrugged me off.
When you walk away, you don't hear me say "Please... Oh baby, don't go. Simple and Cl-
My ringtone sounded, I answered my phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh, okay... I'll be home right away. Bye mom." I bid my mom goodbye.
"Hey. I 'gotta jet, my mom says we have to go somewhere. See 'ya tomorrow 'kay?" I told Namine.
"Kay kay. Bye Kairi." Namine said as we gave each other a peck on the cheek, then I ran home.
What a day.
That's it for now. :) Review.
