I never thought that boarding school could be this…..crazy. And amazing. And so full of freaking HOMEWORK! Gah. I've become a library hermit. A pathetic hermit that throws ink filled paper at anyone who approaches her lonely little desk in the lonely little corner, next to the abandoned historical fiction. Bite me.
I must have been missing for quite a while in the library, because right when I was putting the polishing touches on my English Final Paper(written in capitols to represent its dignity.), I heard a deep, and somewhat timid voice.
"Um, Kairi?" Without even looking up, I launched one of those deadly ink filled balls of tree bark at my rude intruder. "Wah! What was that for?"
"Leemealone," I muttered impatiently as I furiously scratched out a misused adjective. I felt the persistent being sit down next to me at my wobbly little table, and watched me curiously as I piled all my papers together.
"Done!" I exclaimed happily, tossing my pen in the air, only then to glance at the person next to me. "Oh, hey Roxas(A/N incase I forgot to include this last chapter, Tyson or BHK has become Roxas, since apparently that's his "real" name. whatever.)"
"Stressed out much?" Roxas asked, a smile on his face at my insanity. I looked at him as I rested my head on my arms. "No," I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes, before grinning back. "So what have u been up to?" I asked as I began packing up my stuff, and stood up. Roxas stood up next to me, and shrugged.
"Looking for you, mostly." Me? He was looking for me? I feel so popular. Cough.
"Why?" I asked as we made our way (finally!) out of the library. "Well, tonight a bunch of us are going to hit the beach, and we wanted you to come with us. You know, if you want to…" he trailed off. I beamed. I LOVE the beach. Yay! "Yeah sure I'll come!" I replied grinning.
"Great, meet me in the student parking lot at 5ish. Namine is going too, so she can show you if you want."
I nodded, and waved to him, before walking away happily. When I reached my dorm, I realized that it was already 4:20. Yeah, thanks for the early invitation Roxas, I thought, before jumping in the shower.
About 20 Minutes Later…
"Kairi! You in here?" Namine called in the room. "Yeah!" I hollered from my position in front of the bathroom, as I applied my mascara. Why I was wearing mascara to the beach, I dunno. Namine walked into the room, and began throwing stuff out of the cabinets.
"OW! Hey watch it!" I cried out as a bottle of perfume hit my head, making be smudge my stupid mascara. I grabbed a tissue, and began dabbing off the damage.
"O geez, sorry Kairi! I was looking for my sunscreen," Namine said, as she continued digging. "Sunscreen? Namine, its going to be dark! You don't need sunscreen!" I said as I stood back from the mirror to examine my fabulous makeup job. Eh, whatever.
Namine looked confused for a second, and then laughed. "OOO yeah. Haha." She walked out of the bathroom quickly. I followed her, and went to my dresser, where I began my search for a bathing suit.
"So who's coming tonight?" I asked casually as I examined my bathing suits closely. "Umm, well Roxas, and Tidus, and I think Wakka, as well as Selphie and Aeris," Namine said, as she pulled on her green bathing suit.
"What are we going to do?" I asked as I finally found a bathing suit. Success! It was a cute purple two piece with white hibiscus on it, with a skirt thingy to match. "Well, we are having a bonfire, and then swimming of course, with smores!" she finished excitedly, clapping her hands. I laughed at her excitement.
"Sounds great! Ready to go?" We both dashed out of the dorm room, and down to the student parking lot, where we found everyone waiting by a huge van. An ugly, white van with rust stains. This is a van that desperately needed "Pimp My Ride". I laughed as I thought of the foolish show.
"Who's car is this?" I asked. Roxas timidly put his hand in the air. "It fits everyone!" he defended, patting the car proudly. Weirdo. We all climbed into Roxas' big van, which was surprisingly comfortable and roomy on the inside. As we drove through the beach country, or whatever it is they call it out there(A/N I live in New England, where the only beaches are freezing, and typically surrounded by snow and big tall trees). We wove our way through the winding roads, and just as my butt was getting sore, Roxas pulled to a stop at a beach.
This beach was on the opposite side of an alcove that had small shops and restraints, where there were no pesky tourists. The sky was bright with the setting sun, and the water looked wonderful and clear. We all piled out of the car, with our towels and food in tow. I eagerly set up my towel in the middle of the little beach, pulled off my sweatshirt and skirt, and made a mad dash for the water.
I splashed my way into the warm, sparkling water enthusiastically, and dove under. When I came up, I turned to see everyone standing there laughing. I stood up, with water dripping off my legs and hair.
"What?" I asked, as I waded out of the water towards the group. "Excited to get in weren't you?" Roxas asked laughing. I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe," I said, sitting down on the towel.
The rest of our evening at the beach was fun. We had an amazing bonfire, used with smuggled library books, and returned papers and homework. It was pretty darn satisfying to see a paper you absolutely despised writing burning in the flames. At around 9:30, we all piled into the van again, and began our drive home.
On the way home, the van was relatively quiet. Everyone was worn out from the intense swimming and bonfire making action. I felt myself drifting off to sleep, and pretty soon we were back at the school. I climbed tiredly out of the car with Namine, and we said goodbye to everyone, and began walking back to our dorm.
At the side of our dorm, I heard voices coming from a small corner behind a bunch of bushes. "What is it?" Namine asked when I froze. "I hear voices," I whispered, as I creeped closer. I could be a pretty awesome ninja if I wanted to be. "Well whatever, I'm gonna head back to the dorm," Namine said. I nodded and she walked away. I steadily crept closer to the voices.
"Sora! Are you crazy! She ruined your life!" I heard a female voice exclaim. I peered over the bushes to see Yuffie standing in front of an uncomfortable looking Sora.
"Yuffie…its not worth getting all upset over," Sora said, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Oh come ON Sora. You're not going to let something that BITCH did keep you from going home to see your father. I'm sure he understands her stupidity and need to butt into people's business!" Yuffie cried, as she got close to Sora, making their height difference apparent.
"Yeah. Whatever," Sora replied, walking away quickly. I watched Yuffie stand in rage where he had left her, and she began stomping in the other direction, correction, MY direction. I hurriedly crouched down, attempting to hide myself from her, but my attempts were in vain. Yuffie instantly spotted me.
"What do you think you're doing, bitch?" she asked harshly as she peered down at me. I gulped at her angry face. Oooo crap. "I heard you two talking, and I didn't want to interrupt," I replied nervously. Ok, that's a pretty good lie I guess. Maybe she will buy it.
No way. "Liar!" she screeched. "Why don't you just stay out of our business, ok! Nobody wants you here, so why don't you just LEAVE," she exclaimed, her face bright red. I felt my anger rising.
"What did I do to you! I mean come on. I'm new here, I have no idea what is going on, and I have done nothing to bother you, except breath!" I spat back, before walking away. "Yeah, that's right. Walk away bitch. You will regret this."
I shook my head angrily as I continued walking down the sidewalk. That little bitch wasn't going to scare me. I made it to my dorm without any more events, and climbed right into bed.
By Monday, I had finally finished my boatload of homework, and managed to avoid Yuffie. Actually, I hadn't seen her anywhere. Weird. Wait a minute! I don't care where Yuffie is. She could be dead in a ditch somewhere for all I care. Well…maybe not. That's harsh and morbid.
I collapsed into my desk at first period, before laying my head on the table. It was unusually quiet in the room, and everyone seemed to either be cramming in homework, or whispering amongst each other. I glanced over to my right to see Yuffie talking with Rinoa, who was grinning evilly and glancing in my direction. Suspicious. Very suspicious.
The period went on without any excitement, and finally the blessed bell rang. I dashed out of the room quickly, and went straight to my locker. Grabbing my gym clothes, I headed to the locker rooms, checking my bag to see that there was a gym lock still there. There was no way I was letting Yuffie get to my school clothes so easily this time.
When I reached the locker room, I saw Namine standing there angrily. I walked over, and stood in front of her. "What's wrong?" I asked. She glared viciously at me, before turning quickly, and walking away. Woa. What the heck was wrong with her?
I quickly walked over to Aeris, and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and seeing me, her eyes narrowed. "What's wrong with Namine?" I asked her. Aeris rolled her eyes, something that was uncommon for her.
"Maybe your little hate letter would be a clue," she said harshly, before walking away. My what? A hate letter? I got changed quickly, and walked out into the gym. I saw various people who I assumed were my friends glare at me and turn away, whispering amongst themselves. What was going on!
After gym, I made my way quickly to the cafeteria, and as I walked through the door, most of the crowded place went quiet. Almost everyone turned to look at me, some shooting those evil glares, others just shaking their heads. I began walking down the middle aisle, eyes following me the whole way. As I grew closer to my usual table, I felt myself getting increasingly nervous.
When I reached the table, everyone turned away from me, and ignored me completely. Feeling hurt, I made my way to a lonely table in the corner. I sat down, facing away from the cafe. What was going on? What had I done? I fought back tears that threatened to fall down my face. Where had I gone wrong?
