Chapter 10: Not So Sweet 16
Soon my birthday party came. Luckily, my dad got this place at the sandlot that suits me perfectly. He got a DJ too and even a special service that made the most delicious cakes I could ask for.
Ross and I were heading there to help with the last decorations. When I entered, I felt my mouth opening as I stepped inside. I saw white curtains falling from the ceiling, the walls covered with snow drawings, all tables looking gorgeous. It seemed like heaven. It was really me. I ran towards my dad.
"Thank you! It's perfect!"
He hugged me back and I let go, going around checking everything. After some time, I went home to change into my party clothes. All girls were going to be there too. Ross went home but not before saying that he had a very special gift for me. And that made me start to worry…
Everything's the same. This town never changes.
I was wondering around Tram Common, thinking. I decided not to tell anyone I had arrived. First I need to think what I'll say, and how I'll say it. Especially to Nami…
But I would like to see the others first. Sora, Riku, Kairi... All good friends that I left behind. . I am a little anxious about seeing all of them again. How will they react? That's my biggest concern.
"How does this one look?" I asked the girls, showing them a baby blue dress, that looked like it had a belt, from which two strips appeared, made to be put around the neck.
"It's wonderful!" Selphie said, dressed with a yellow sleeveless shirt, with a white skirt with black symbols around it.
"Selphie's right." Olette agreed. She was wearing blue jeans and an orange top, which had her name in katakana on the side. "And it makes your eyes look brighter."
Kai smiled and nodded. She had a pink dress with an insane amount of zippers on it and some black sandals.
Everyone was ready, except me. I was starting to feel a little nervous and tried to get ready as soon as possible. I put the dress on in my bathroom, put some perfume and a white pendant.
I regarded it closely. Roxas gave me this on our first month anniversary. It said 'Love' but I didn't know if I wanted to wear this.
"What's the problem? You said yourself you are over him… Not feeling so sure now?"
That's not it. I just don't want people to notice it.
"No one will…"
I grabbed the pendant and hesitantly put it around my neck. I didn't know why, but it made me feel secure and I wasn't as nervous as before. I sighed, grabbed my purse and went to my bedroom.
All the girls gave shouts of surprise and delight when they saw me.
"And now, the finishing touch!" Kai said, grabbing a silver tiara and putting it on my head.
"You're beautiful!" Olette complimented, and everyone agreed.
"Let's go then."
-------------
My dad was outside waiting for us. We all entered the car and my dad started the engine. We talked all the way, laughing and chatting vividly. Soon we got there and all of us entered the building.
I didn't expect to find everyone already there, so I was a little surprised when I heard applause coming from everyone. This place was full of people. Everyone that I knew was there. I smiled and started greeting everyone.
I headed Yuffie's direction as I saw her heading to the cakes table. She can't have sugar… I don't even want to remember what happened last time she did…
After taking care of the 'sugar problem', I headed Cloud and Aerith's direction to greet them. Although they're seniors, I've always tried to befriend everyone, so that's why my party was so full.
After saying hello to everyone, I noticed Ross was missing.
"Have you seen Ross?" I asked the girls.
They shook their heads.
Well, I guess I'll have to wait.
--------------
It was getting late, and still no sign of Ross. I was worried sick about him. What if something bad happened?
"You're such a pessimist! He'll show up, relax."
As soon as I heard that, I felt a tapping on my shoulder. I turned around and there was Ross, smiling at me. I felt so relieved… He hugged me and congratulated me again.
"Where were you?" I inquired.
"My mom made me clean my room today." he answered in an annoyed tone. "But now I'm here!"
I smiled. Then the DJ put some slow music on.
Suddenly, Ross looked at me and started blushing madly.
"Naminé, d-do y-you… I mean, m-maybe we could… B-but it's ok if you don't want to…" he stuttered.
I grinned and grabbed his hands to make him hush.
"Do you want to dance with me Ross?"
"S-sure!"
He looked like a red balloon now. A very big one…
He took me to the dance floor and put his hands around my waist, I put mine around his neck and we started dancing. We danced a lot of time, which gave me the opportunity to scrutinize well his face without being misunderstood.
He really looks like Roxas… Except his eyes and hair. He is very handsome, I have to admit. No wonder he has lots of crushes at school… I gazed his brown eyes.
And for a moment, I could swear they had changed to blue.
----------
I wonder where everyone is. Twilight Town looks deserted today…
I sighed as I jumped the train to get to the roof of the synthesis shop. It was a good place to think.
-----------
When the music stopped, Ross seemed even redder (if that's even possible) as he asked: "Don't you want to go outside? It's kind of hot here…"
I accepted and went outside with him. He opened the door for me and let me through first, but then Leon called him. He muttered a 'meet you there soon' and walked to him.
I went outside, and headed Tram Common's direction, looking at the snow under my feet.
Twilight Town is very beautiful with snow. This didn't happen in a long, long time. It even looks it happened on purpose.
I heard footsteps, but continued on my position, leaning on the chimney, gazing the stars.
Snow, snow, snow. What a stunning word. I continued walking until the train, and waited there, looking at my left from time to time.
I leaned a bit forward to see who was at the train. I couldn't believe my eyes…
Why's Ross taking so long? It's freezing here!
I watched her rub her arms. She was cold. I wanted to come down and hug her, kiss her, just touch her… But I think seeing me falling from the roof, after disappearing for more four months was too much for her to handle…
But should I call her? What would she say?
Various questions ran through my mind, in a desperate need of an answer…
I looked at her closely.
I think I am going back inside…
No, I'll wait just a little bit more…
She was still so gorgeous…her pale skin, her blonde hair, her sweet lips… But she had grown a bit too. She was taller, I could tell…
I think I'll talk to her… Ok, one, two…
Then I heard more footsteps.
Finally!
"Hey Ross, over here!"
He looked at me and headed my direction.
"What took you so long?"
"Leon wanted to talk about practice…" he said, rolling his eyes a bit.
I smiled.
"So…" he was getting red again, although it could also be because of the freezing temperature. "I wanted to ask you something…"
I was feeling a bit jealous. Well, not a bit. A lot. Who is this guy anyway? And what does he want with Nami?
"I-I uh… I-I…" Ross sighed. "Doyouwanttobemygirlfriend?"
And I paralyzed as he went forward to kiss me.
