Author's Note:
I'd like to thank some reviewers who gave me a few ideas. The funny thing was, was that someone told me something I was planning on doing. XD It's either I'm very obvious, I'm leading it up to that point, or they are just plain good. XD But whichever, I was surprised when they said that. But sorry for you guys, I'm not telling what that part was OR when it'll happen, but it won't be in this chapter, I can assure you of that. So anyways, enjoy this somewhat-short chapter. Oh, and uh, sorry for the typos in the other chapter. I have no idea what they were thinking. XD
Walk by the Shore
Chapter 4: The Club of Royal Bitches
(Started: March 29th/Finished: April 1st)
I stared up at the ceiling. It was 6 A.M. Today was my first day of school, and I was walking to school with Sora. I wonder if it could be any better.
'Maybe I'll have some classes with Sora?' I thought to myself. It didn't matter, as long as I was going to the same school with him.
I got out of bed and started to get ready. In one hour, I'd be walking to school with my crush. Good thing he didn't know about the crush part though. The entire time I was getting ready, I was thinking about what Spira High would be like. I was starting the 11th grade here. Good thing Mr. Katagowa called me over here before the school year started so then I wouldn't be completely lost. But still, I'd be lost. This school has uniforms too. Woopie. The girls have to wear white, short-sleeve shirts with blue plaid skirts and ties. Along with knee-high black stocking and black shoes. As for the guys, they have to wear tan pants, a white, short-sleeved shirt along with a blue plaid tie as well. Gee-whillickers, won't this be fun?
I put one last bobby pin in my hair before I went to go grab for my red backpack. I slung one strap over my shoulder and walked out the door to go meet Sora.
I walked through the streets, trying to find the quickest route to the newsstand. Sora had said that it was a five minute walk from the dorms. I looked around. There wasn't a whole lot of traffic today. It made me wonder why for a few minutes.
Then I finally walked to a road crossing. And there, on the other side, was the newsstand. A boy was leaning up against a stop-sign pole. And just as expected, he had spiky brown hair and wore a school uniform. His blue backpack lay beside his feet. It was clear that he didn't see me yet, so I crept up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Omaesan, Sora-kun!" I yelled from behind him. Sora jumped a little and looked over at me. I smiled Kawaii style and giggled. Sora wore a half-smile. I blinked and looked at him. "What is it?" I questioned. Sora looked like he was about to say something, but stopped himself and smiled.
"It's nothing," he answered. Sora picked up his backpack, slung one strap over his shoulder, turned around and started walking up the sidewalk. "We should get going." I stared at Sora with a dumbfounded look on my face. I blinked again and ran up to his said.
"You were going to say something, weren't you? But you thought it was embarrassing so you didn't, right?" I said. Sora's face turned the color of a tomato. He started scratching the back of his head with his hand.
"Erm…" stuttered Sora. I jumped from his side straight to being in front of him. Sora jumped back a little startled.
'What's up with him?'I asked myself in my head. Sora seems really nervous and tense around me today. I wonder why. 'Maybe…' I thought. Yeah! That HAD to be it. It just makes sense.
"Come on, Sora-kun! You can tell me," I said. 'Huh, look at that. He isn't even arguing with me about adding -kun to his name. Is it really possible?'
"Well, you see, you're going to a new school, therefore you'll be the new kid. And take note that there are a lot of horny guys there. So there's a pretty high chance of you getting groped. I was going to suggest maybe staying close to me so there's a slimmer chance of that happening. You never know what could happen."
'Bingo! So, my hunch was right. He does-'
"We should get going. Come on!" Sora grabbed my arm and started running.
"Whoa!" I yelled with a slight laugh. Sora looked back at me.
"Now I'm the one who's pulling youaround," teased Sora. We both laughed as we ran through the streets. I couldn't help but smile.
'Little do you know, Sora…' I said in my head. '… I, too, share your feelings.'
After fifteen minutes, we reached the school. Sora and I were laughing the entire time we walked up to the doors. And let me tell you, the walk to the auditorium was quite an interesting one. At least five guys commented on how hot my ass was. Now I know what Sora meant by horny. Also, I swore someone even tried to grab it. Yuck!
So yeah. Sora and I were walking through the school to the auditorium and all when two girls popped out of nowhere. One had brown hair with a little fluff to it. Wow. And the other had blonde hair that just seemed to be… well, flat.
"Heeeeeyyyyyy!!!!!" yelled the brunette. The blonde girl looked like she was doing the potty dance.
"Hi. Um, are you okay?" I asked while pointing to the blonde. She nodded.
"Yeah, but I really gotta pee!!!!!" she yelled. I jumped from how loud and straight-forward she was.
"Then, go to the bathroom," I said. She shook her head.
"Nuh-uh! I can't use the school bathrooms!" I tilted my head.
"Why?"
"Because they are too public and germy!" she replied. I put my hand on my hip.
"Um, that's why they are called public bathrooms, and, ugh, all bathrooms are germy." She threw her hands up in the air!
"Gah! No one understands me!" And with that, she ran off. Sora chuckled a little bit.
"That was Dani, Selphie's sister." Sora pointed to Selphie, the brunette. "Selphie has sugar rush, and Dani, has what she calls, a 'good' bladder." I raised an eyebrow. I looked over at Selphie and smiled.
"Hey, I'm Kairi. Nice to me-"
"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. Damn, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, let alone go deaf. I gave a half-smile and waved.
"Hey," I replied.
"Let's go to the auditorium so we can get our schedules, KAY?!" And with that, Selphie skipped along through the halls. I rubbed my ears, there was a long, high-pitched beep going on in my ears.
"Yeah, let's," I said softly. Sora laughed.
"You'll get used to it. Plus, I can already tell that you'll be best friends with her later on. Just now, she seems, kinda…"
"Loud?" I cut in. We both laughed and walked through the halls.
When we reached the auditorium, it was half-full. So there was obviously no problem finding a seat. Plus, some of Sora's friends had saved us some seats.
"Hey Sora! Over here!" yelled a boy. Sora looked over and waved at a blonde boy.
"Hey Tidus!" Sora looked back at me and grabbed my wrist. "Come on!" Sora was, yet gain, puling me along. Not that I was complaining though. When we got over to Sora's friends, Tidus' face swiped an evil grin straight onto it. And the bad thing was, was that I didn't know exactly whathe was grinning about, and that was a bad thing. "Tidus, Riku, Wakka, this is Kairi. She's a new student to both here, and Mika Lights Stage. Kairi, this is Tidus, Wakka, and Riku." I looked around and smiled, giving a short wave.
"Hey," I said. Tidus smiled at Sora and stood up.
"Hey Sora, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. Sora shrugged and then nodded. Tidus smirked and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him away. I looked around.
'Geez, this is a really big auditorium,' I said in my head. 'And the school is so much bigger than my old one. How am I supposed to-'
"Hey! You can sit down if you want to, you know." I looked over to see Riku looking at me. He seemed to be one year older than Sora. A senior, probably. He was giving me the 'sit-down-or-look-like-a-fool' look. I remember Rinoa gave me those looks a lot. I looked back at Riku like he was a new shiny toy. But I soon shook out of my fantasy and looked at a chair.
"Sorry," I said and I sat down on the end seat.
"There's no problem. It's just that you don't have to stand, you know?" replied Riku. I gave Riku a faint smile.
"Thanks," I said. Riku chuckled.
"No problem. It's tough being the new kid around here. Especiallyhere, that it. Almost everyone in this school is horny," said Riku.
"'Cept us," interrupted Wakka. We all laughed at the comment.
'Hm, well, Sora was right about the horny part. I'll give him that, but still…'I was telling myself in my head. And just when I as about to finish that though, Sora and Tidus came back. I quickly got up and let them slide on through the row to their seats. I sat back down at the seat on the end. I looked over at Sora, but he wouldn't look at me. He seemed so tense, like he was unable to move. Reminded me of when an opossum plays dead. So frantic, yet pulls it all off.
I put my hand on Sora's shoulder and saw his face turn a little pink. Man, it was really obvious that he liked me. But I wonder if he could tell if I liked him back. Then, it hit me. What Tidus had talked to Sora about was me. Me! Tidus saw that Sora was crushing on me majorly. I wonder if they knew about me. I dunno, but I know one thing: Girls are better at concealing their feelings for someone than men are.
"Sora, you okay?" I asked him. Sora looked at me with his blue eyes. Oh man, did his face just make me want to curl straight into his arms. But I couldn't, or else I'd make a very strange impression on his friends. I couldn'tlet anyone know about my crush on Sora. At least not yet, that is. Sora smiled at me.
"Yeah, of course I am," he answered. Damn, he wasn't going to give in, was he?
"You sure?" I pestered. He probably thought I was his mother for a second.
"What are you, my mother?" he asked while laughing. Bingo. I did remind him of his mother for a few seconds.
"No. That'd be strange. Very strange," I replied with a faint smile.
"Why did you ask?" questioned Sora. I sighed, putting on my 'I'm-so-cute-and-innocent-that-you-should-confess-to-me-and-give-me-a-years-stash-of-cookies' look.
"Oh, no reason. You just look so tense and nervous whenever you're around me, or is that just you?" I asked. Man oh man, did I get him there. Sora chuckled.
"I usually act like this. It's anticipation attacks. Quite normal for teenagers," Sora joked. I laughed along with him, just to let him know that I was following along.
'Damn, mission failed,'I said in my head. Tidus kludged Sora in the ribs, making Sora lean over in pain.
"Ouch!" Sora whispered loudly. Tidus laughed at Sora.
"Sorry man. Just thought it'd be funny," joked Tidus.
"Ha ha, very funny," Sora said with also starting to laugh. What is it with boys and pain? Do they like pain? What was Tidus thinking in his little mind?
"So, you're Kairi," said Tidus. At first, I thought he was stupid, but then I realized that he was mocking Sora. I gave him a smirk.
"Yeah, I am," I answered. 'What of it?'I asked in my head. Tidus snickered and looked at the stage.
"Nice to meet you," Tidus said. Tidus, to me, seemed a bit laid-back like and a little on the sensitive side. I'm sure he was a good person, but right now I'm kind of getting a bad jibe. Oh noes! I'm already starting to predict their personalities. Oh my gosh!
And just then, the principal walked onto the stage. Now, instead of giving you the full detailed instructions, I'll give you the basic one. He told us how to get our classes. And number one on the list was: Get to homeroom. My problem was, was that I had a question: Where the frick is my homeroom?!
"Kairi." I jumped a little when Sora tapped me on the shoulder. Sora gave a small laugh. "Geez. Glad you didn't kill anybody," Sora said jokingly. I smiled.
"Sorry," I said, looking at my knees. Sora shook his head.
"Don't be. Anyway, I was going to tell you that you'll be in Mr. Yoshirigo's homeroom since your last name is… erm… starts with a 'Y.'" I looked back up into Sora's face. He just covered for me, since I didn't want people knowing about my mother. At least, not yet. I nodded, giving Sora my thanks.
"Arigatou," I whispered. Sora scratched his head.
"No problem," he answered. Aww! He was so cute when he's shy around me. Ugh, anyways!
"Um, will there be anyone in my homeroom that I'll know?" I asked. Sora looked down.
"Well, Selphie and her sister Dani will be in your homeroom," he answered.
'Oh! Maybe I can get to know them a little bit better,' I said to myself while brightening up. 'You know, this may not be so bad.'
"And Tidus." My jaw dropped.
'What did he just say?'Sora looked over at Tidus.
"Hey, do you think you could show Kairi to homeroom when it's time to go?" Tidus nodded.
"Sure thing," replied Tidus.
'Oh dear lord… Why?! He's planning something and I can't read his mind! Come on!'I yelled in my head. Sora stood up from his seat.
"It's time to go to homeroom. Come on, Wakka," Sora said. I stood up and stepped aside from the row. Sora and Wakka slid from to the row and started to walk up to the exit. Apparently Wakka and Sora were in the same homeroom. Wait, Wakka and Sora? No, no, no. That won't do. Now, Sora and Wakka sound so much better! Anyways…
I stared at the floor blankly, just wondering what Tidus was up to. I knew the conversation he had with Sora earlier was about me, but what was he planning? Maybe… maybe… Maybe! Nah, I got nothing, but whatever it was, I had a bad feeling about it.
With me thinking to myself, I didn't even realize that Tidus and I were the only ones left in the auditorium.
"Hey." I gasped and looked up. Tidus was looking at me. "We should get going," he said bluntly.
'Ya think?'I asked in my head. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, we should… uh… get going." Tidus smirked and started walking up the hall. I started walking behind him, still wondering what it was that he was planning.
After I had picked out my classes, we received a printed version of our schedule.

(Sorry if it's jumbled. Looked better on my documents. XD)
Yep. That was my schedule. Interesting, huh? Yeah, I got a lot of free time.
Tidus snuck himself behind me and started reading my schedule.
"So!" I jumped out of my seat. Tidus looked at me strangely. "Geez. Hope you didn't piss yourself." Oh man, PMS meter going to 100. I turned around and glared at Tidus.
"What?" I asked as calmly as I could. Tidus shook his head.
"Just wondering what you're going for exactly," he answered. I blinked. Tidus, was asking me what I wanted to do as a living. Wow, who knew?
"Oh! I want to be an author. Writing helps me sort things out. It's just like writing your entire thoughts on a piece of paper. Well, being an author on the side of being a performer," I said while smiling. Tidus nodded.
"I hope you're successful when you get to that point." I blinked again. Why is Tidus being so nice to me now? Hm, I guess my hunch about him being nice wasright. Huh, I'll take nice any day. I looked up at Tidus from my seat.
"What are you going for?" I asked. Tidus leaned against another desk looking at the walls.
"A professional blitzball player," he answered. I looked over at the wall. So, he was into sports as well. Geez, I know things about everyone else, but Sora just seems to want to remain unknown. Geez, what's the deal with that?
"Well then, I wish you luck with that too," I answered with a smile. And this time, I meant that smile, which Tidus realized. He made a silent gasp, but turned towards the wall again.
"Thank you," he answered.
'Oh shit! Could he see right through me or something? He could tell that I meant this smile, so what did it mean?'
"You know, Kairi. You're not that bad." I blinked.
'What did he just say?' Tidus shifted his head a little to the left.
"At first, I thought you were one of those preppy girls who are always rude to people. That's why I was a little on the rude side to you. But I was wrong. Completely wrong. And I know you were wondering what I was talking to Sora about." I stared blankly at Tidus, who never moved his gaze from the wall. He was going to… tell me? "I talked to Sora about you and asked if you were one of those kind of people. I argued with Sora about it, but he kept on defending you, which is how I thought of you not being a bad person. I mean, most of the girls that came here have been preppy and plain rude, but you're not." Tidus looked back at me and laughed a faint laugh. "I guess you can never judge a book by it's cover." I looked up at Tidus and smiled.
"I guess you can't," I answered. Tidus rubbed the back of his head with his hand.
"I'm, ugh, really sorry about my actions," apologized Tidus. I waved my hand slightly.
"There's no need to be sorry. I can understand." I stood up and held out my hand. "Friends?" I asked. Tidus' face brightened up and he took my hand, shaking it lightly.
"Friends," he answered with a smile. I giggled, and realized that Sora's friends weren't that bad at all. Sure, I didn't know Riku or Wakka very well yet, but if I can get along with Tidus, I'm sure I'll be able to get along with the others.
I got to the dorms around 4 P.M. today. My feet were exhausted from the long walk, but I realized that it was good for me for being in Mika Lights Stage.
I walked through the door to my dorm and Rinoa greeted me.
"So, how was your first day at Spira High?" she asked while folding clothes. I set my backpack down on the table.
"It was fine. I already made some friends. Six, to be exact," I replied. Rinoa laughed.
"I'm glad you had a good first day. Man, you should be glad Auron got you in exactly before the school year started or else you'd be lost as peanut butter without jelly. Though, I don't really like peanut butter with jelly," said Rinoa stopping from folding a cammi. We both started laughing.
"Geez, Rinoa. You sure do know how to make someone laugh… and wonder," I said. Rinoa gave me that 'you-know-you-love-me-so-gimme-a-stash-of-cookies' look.
"That's what I'm paid for, right?" she said while going back to folding clothes.
"Wrong," I answered bluntly. Rinoa stomped her foot.
"Dang it!" she yelled and we both started laughing again. "So, do you have any homework at all?" Rinoa asked. I blinked. I remembered that I had to get a paper signed by a parent or a guardian for Drama Club. The only problem that I had, was…
"Um, yeah. Hey Rinoa? Would you count as to being a guardian?" I asked. Rinoa folded her last shirt and walked into the room.
"Yeah, why?" she replied. I smiled and turned to face her.
"Could you be my guardian?" I asked. Rinoa smiled.
"Of course! Anything to help you out. So, what do you need me to sign?" She asked, walking up to my side. I fuddled through my backpack and took out a green folder. I opened the folder and took out a white slip.
"I need you to sign this so I can perform in upcoming plays and such," I answered. Rinoa's face was then covered by a grin. Geez, doing extra to improve with your performing skills? Man oh man, you're getting close to becoming my partner. Maybe even getting closer to impress Akemi." Rinoa took the piece of paper and signed it, handing it back to me. "Hey," she said while patting my back. "You'll get her attention, trust me." Rinoa winked at me and walked out of the room, taking her clothes into the bedroom. I looked down at the slip, thinking of Rinoa's words.
"Thank you, Rinoa. I will get up to your level. You'll see. Both you… and Akemi-sama…" I looked up. "Oh shit!" I smacked my forehead. Ever since I came to America, I have forgotten to talk to Namine completely! Oh moes! Yes, I said 'Oh moes.' It's my new way of saying 'Oh no." Get it? Do ya? Huh? Do ya… Oh, just forget it.
I ran to the computer desk and quickly opened up my yahoo account, typing in my email: Kai_. When I opened my account, I had no messages, so I made one to Namine.
To:Namine Fair
Date: April 1st, 2009
Subject: I Made It
Nam-Nams,
I'm so sorry I never emailed you when I got here Saturday. I guess I was so overwhelmed with the stage and stuff that I had completely forgotten to tell you that I got here. So, now I'm emailing you… on Monday… right after I got home. And I have to tell you, America is AMAZING! The stage, the people, the school, everything! Well, maybe not everything.
Okay, so today was the first day of school for me here, right? So, I make a few friends and we go to choose our classes/ I chose Drama Club because you know how much I lurve that stuff. Anyways, when I got there, there were about 7 girls that I like the call the Club of Royal Bitches. So, okay, not all of the members in the club are bitches, but those seven are. Oh my gosh, they are terrible! Grr, how dare they call me a red-necked Asian! I'm a redhead, not a red-neck. But I got through the day, thank the lord. Too bad I get to see them again on Wednesday. Anyways.
And better yet, there's this guy who has a crush on me! And the best part is, is that he's so cute. I just want to melt into his arms. Oh, sorry. Nam-Nams. You know how I am when it comes to this stuff. Plus I haven't talked to you in 3 days. It is so heart-breaking. But anyways, please reply so we can catch up, kay? Maybe you can come over here some time and visit? Just a thought.
Love,
Kai-chan
Author's Note:Sorry for the delay in an update. I had a hard time with time management and thinking of how to put things. XD But I'm good now. :D I have a pretty good idea for Chapter 5. And if you are wondering, yes, I based the character Dani off of my friend Danielle. It just so happened that one day she really had to pee and she can't go in the school bathrooms. All the words that Dani said in this chapter cam from Danielle's real mouth. I kid you not. I was lie "Oh my gosh! I shall dedicate a character to you in my fan fiction!" And he became so happy. XD And in the next chapter, I'll be basing Dani more than ever on Danielle. And this one will include a muffin. A muffin, I tell you. A muffin! So anyways, stay tuned! :D Oh yeah, by the way, I didn't include the club thing in school because I won't be writing chapters in every single class, you know? So, instead, I made the club details in the message Kairi sent to Namine. Just so you don't get too confused, alright? Okay, good.
Kadaj:You take a long time, you now that?
Nik-chan:Shuddap!
Kadaj: Bite me!
Nik-chan: Ew! No, that's gross!
Ka-chan: I will! :D
Kadaj:Okay! XD
Ka-chan: *drags Kadaj off… again*
Nik-chan: How many times is this going to happen?
Cloud: As many times as you right it.
Nik-chan: CLOUD!!! *tackles and drags off*
Cloud: Of course. Stay tuned though!
