Review please!
Thanks :D
"Axel. He's also our childhood friend. Your childhood bestfriend"
"My what?" Naminè couldn't believe what she just heard.
"You... really don't remember him, Nami? In our elementary?" asked Roxas looking just as shocked as Naminè "Yeah, he's older than us and he wasn't in the same class with us, but we..." he paused a bit, clearing his throat "...you, you were very close to him. Every recess you would see him"
Naminè looked still. She didn't know what to say. Though there were many questions that left to be answered, she didn't know which one to answer.
Before Naminè could ask anything more, Naminè's mother opened up the door and saw Roxas's car.
"Naminè, it's late!" said her mother to remind her that she needs to get off soon. Then she took a closer to the car when Naminè opened the car window "Oh my God, is that you Roxas? Roxas Bergmann? Look at you!"
"Good night, Mrs. Liteheart" said Roxas while smiling through the car window to Naminè's mother. Then he walked out of his car and opened the door on Naminè's side "Sorry, I borrowed your beautiful daughter so late"
Naminè's mother walked closer to Roxas. She pinched every inch of Roxas's face "Oh my God, you were this high when I last saw you! How are you? Oh and, it's okay if you my daughter had a date with" said Naminè's mother while grinning.
"Mom, Roxas is tired. Could you please let him go" said Naminè rolling her eyes.
"Oh, yes! Sorry!" said Naminè's mother while smiling again.
"Nah, it's okay, ma'am. Anyway, I had so much fun with Nami" Roxas turned to Naminè "Thanks, Nami"
Roxas walked to his car. And Naminè caught his hand and hugged him and said "Don't think bad of me. I always liked you since we're kids". Naminè felt bad when Roxas knew he had no chance.
"And I always loved you" whispered Roxas back "But, I'm happy to know how you feel though"
"Ehm, ehm" Naminè's mother pretend to cough because they were hugging pretty long. Okay, awkward moment... Then they released each other arms.
Again Roxas whispered "Remember him, Nami". Then he looked to Naminè's mother "I'll go home now, Mrs. Liteheart. Good night" then he looked at Naminè again "See you, Monday, Nami. Bye"
"Have a dinner with us sometime, Roxas!" said Naminè's mother while waving.
"Sure, thanks for the invitation. Bye!" said Roxas from his window.
Ring! Ring! Naminè's cellphone suddenly rang. It was a text message. And it was from Roxas saying "Though that doesn't mean I've given up". Naminè let out a little chuckles from her breath. After that she walked to her house.
"Is he your boyfriend, Nami?" asked her mother while walking inside their house.
"Mom!"
"What? I just wanted to know. As a mother I–..."
"He's not, okay? There!" answered Naminè cutting her mother speech.
"So, is it that Axel?" asked her mother.
"What? What makes you think of that?" asked Naminè back.
"Well, he brought you home that day when you passed out remember?"
"Oh yeah, about that, I've been wondering, why did you even let him get in my room? He's a boy for God sake" she paused a bit "A boy you just met"
"I..." her mother also paused, she thought of a right combination of words she should use "I thought his face looks familiar"
"So, you really never met him?" asked Naminè again.
"I can't be sure" answered her mother while sitting on a couch "I just thought his eyes looked trustworthy"
"Trustworthy? His devilish eyes?" her mother gave her a skeptical look then she shook off her head and said "N-never mind. I'm tired. I'll go to bed"
Then she walked upstairs. She thought her sister would be waiting for her in front of her room to hear some details on her date, but Kai wasn't there. It's obvious that Kai really didn't like the idea of Naminè dating Roxas.
But that was not half of the thing she questioned about. She just got this unbelievable news that Axel is actually her childhood friend. But is that true? Then why wouldn't her mom remember him?
"He's older than us and he wasn't in the same class with us" the words that Roxas said resonated in her head.
"Not in the same class, older, this'll be hard" muttered Naminè to herself.
She changed her clothes to a night dress. Then she sat on her bed. She refused to believe what Roxas told her. She hasn't got any proof. Anyway, how can she forget her childhood best friend? Even if he would totally change, there must be something that she can recognize from him. But nothing.
So, she made her mind to push back that idea for awhile.
Though her worrisome is now that she couldn't stand the fact that Axel hates her. She didn't even know why she should care about that. Especially after what just happened in the movie. She even dream of him in his arms.
"Will I tell Kairi about this?" asked her to herself "I'll bet she'll know how I feel by tomorrow"
Well, they're twins. They just can feel what each others are feeling. Not exactly though.
Anyway, so there she went to bed. And she had a dream. A really strange dream.
"Aaaa help me!" shouted a young girl. She was surrounded by dogs. Her hair was blond. She wore an elementary uniform.
"Don't move!" said a little boy approaching to help her. He wore the same uniform. But his face was blurred. He wanted to help, but instead of shoo-ing the dogs away, he looked straightly in the dogs' eyes.
The girl looked confused. She said "What are you doing? What if the dog bit you?"
The boy lowered his body to pat the dogs. Then he turned to the girl while smiling "It's okay. They're not dangerous. Look, if you just show them your affection they will show their true sides"
The girl began lowering her body too. She leaned forward to join the boy pat the dog. And beyond her expectation, the dog actually loves her pats. "So cute!"
"See?" the boy smiled again "You're from the same school right? What's your name?"
"I'm Liteheart! Naminè Liteheart! From class I-A" answered the girl.
"I'm your senpai then!" said the boy while smiling "I'm from class II-B"
"What's your name?"
"It's..." then the visions started to blur. But then it became more vivid to another scene.
There was Axel standing in front of Naminè. He said "Hey, doll face"
"Axel, I..." Naminè didn't know what to say. Suddenly Axel turned around and walked away. And the next thing that occurred was the ground seems to be shaking.
Turns out it was Kairi shaking her body to wake her up.
"Sis, wake up!"
"Huh? Wha-?"
"You should hear yourself!"
"Did I talk in my sleep?"
"Yeah!"
"You were like 'Dogs! Dogs! Aaaa!' then you were like..." Kairi paused.
"Like what?"
"Calling Axel's name..." Kairi looked down to her laps. Then she raised her head to see her sister's expression. It was calm, but shocked as well. Then she said "I know I shouldn't interfere Nams, but..."
"Say it" said Naminè. She was actually looking for some answers anyway.
"You've been out of your head since Axel didn't talk to you anymore. You need to..." Kairi breathed in heavily and exhaled it "...apologize"
"Apol...?" Naminè stood up, but she sat down again slowly "I'm the one at fault, sis?"
"It's not like that" said Kairi inhaling again "It's just that, yor decision of choosing to go with Roxas rather than Axel. You regretted it right?"
"I do?"
"I don't know. Do you?" asked Kairi "Because, to me, you seem, unhappy these days. What could possibly caused that beside your concern of Axel not talking to you anymore?"
"Flunked score?"
"Impossible. You're like the smartest girl in our year"
"Yeah, I am. Hahahaha"
"Don't walk away from the topic!" snapped Kairi.
"Okay, geez, sorry ma'am" said Naminè "It's just that..."
"What?"
"Nah..." said Naminè. She wanted to tell her about her discovery of Axel. "I'll think about it, okay? And I'm fine"
Kairi exhaled. She didn't know what else she could say to talk her to admit that she loves him. So, she passed "Do what you want. I'll be in my room"
"Kai..." Naminè could see her sister's disappointment. But she didn't want her sister to find out about what she was really feeling. Not now at least. Because, well, she didn't know either.
She decided to go on a walk that Sunday morning. So she took a bath, grabbed some clothes and heels, and off she goes.
She headed to the park. Though it was like, her legs were taking her there. "Eh? The park?" she asked. She exhaled. She remembered how she met Axel for the first time here.
The day was sunny. Many people went there that morning. But she didn't seem to notice them. She wanted to feel like she's alone. She sat on a white bench. She thought for a second "Why did I come here again?".
But she wanted to enjoy the day. So, she just rest her back on the bench. She drew out a sketchbook from her bag. When she's at the park, she used to draw something. Usually something on her mind.
She thought for awhile about what she was going to draw. Then suddenly she drew out a cream color pencil. She started drawing a face. It's like her hands moved on their own. And next, she drew out a red color pencil. She started drawing the eyes and the... hair.
When she finished, she nearly got a heart attack by what she just drew. A little boy, with long red pony tailed hair. It's like she didn't even realize she was drawing that.
She was about to close it when a shadow walked closer towards her from the back. A hand reached her shoulder. As Naminè looked to her back, she dropped her sketch book. The person asked "Is that... me?"
