Aren't only pretty girls popular? I was told today that I was one of the most popular people in school. I don't believe Cristen only more. (Pronounced like Kristen) I'm better now! My throat feels much better and I was able to hit ten bulls-eyes in gym today. All right! Onto the chapter.

When I walk out of the brownish yellow door of my house I immediately see Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. I was about to wave over to them when I remembered that they didn't like me one bit. I guess I was just happy to see some familiar faces. As soon as they saw me, all they did was glare.

"So, the card that Axel gave me brought me back home?" I asked myself. I looked down at my palm where the card had been and saw it disintegrate between my fingers. Well, apparently I was going to be here for a while.

I walked over to the three teenagers. "Hey, have you guys seen Sora?" I tried to force a smile, but my mind was on if this was real or not.

Selphie stepped up. "Sorry Goth, but you should just go get your sketchpad and draw some more freakish pictures, since that's what you are. A freak."

Okay, what had gotten into her? I understood that she didn't like me, but she never had the nerve to say anything until now. Why now? I mean, they either just walked past me or ignored me. Or glared. And where the hell was she getting goth. I'm not got.

….Okay if you get passed the long black hair and black clothes, you can see I'm not goth. Sure, I'm dark, but not goth.

"Naw, Selphie you messed up," Tidus said stepping up. "She's not goth, she's a emo freak," that made all three of them laugh.

"I'm not emo…" I protested. I never cut myself. I was depressed when I first came here, y'know, living alone and afraid of my own shadow. I had no parents, so why shouldn't I have been afraid? "I'm not goth either…I'm neither…"

"Lies!" Selphie concluded, still laughing.

I sank down to my knees and curled my legs up to my chest. "Shut up…"

"Aw, is the baby crying? Why don't you run home to your Mommy?" Tidus asked, then he stopped, wide-eyed. "Oh wait a sec, you don't have one!"

I stood back up, tears now pouring off my face but I glared angrily at them. "SHUT UP! I could mock you with a few things too Tidus, I bet. Just because I don't have a mom, or a dad doesn't me I'm much different then you! Stop acting like total jackasses!"

That took them aback, so I stormed away, down the beach and over to my boat. I sat down and started rowing over to the other island. When I tied my boat up I didn't even bother getting out. I laid down and curled into a ball, trying to figure everything out. When my tears stopped flowing about ten minutes later I stood up and lifted myself onto the dock. I walked back to the Secret Area (Still not secret) and I found Riku. Why he was here, I'll never know. He never came here anymore.

"Riku!" I called. I ran over and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're okay! I was worried!"

When I had hugged him, he had jumped. Now he only looked back at me.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He asked, pushing me away. I fell back onto the floor.

I looked back up at him. "W-what? Don't tell me you hate me too…"

Riku scoffed. "Airie, I've always hated you. What's gotten into that head of yours? Now I know why your parents died. They probably killed themselves because they had to see your ugly face!" He started laughing hysterically. "I know I'm about to. Do me a favor and stay away from me, like you always do." He walked out, leaving me in the dim light of the cave. I stood there for a moment, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. I sat down, steadying myself so I wouldn't pass out. I put my head on my knees when I heard giggling and laughing coming from the entrance. When I looked up I saw Kairi and Sora walking in, hand in hand and laughing and talking. They spotted my and the smiles were gone and were instead replaced with angry looks of hatred.

"Looks who it is Sora," Kairi said. "The goth girl."

What. The. Hell. I know everybody's changed, but Kairi? Kairi's suppose to be sweet and loving. She was so out of character it scared me. Sora smiled over to her, and to my horror, he crashed his lips against her's. I let my head hang again and let the tears pour down. I looked up again and saw that Kairi and Sora were both gone. I was back in that castle. How did I…

Whatever. I'm glad that wasn't real. Maybe I could push that behind me.

I hope.
