Chapter 12~Summer Begins

The final bell rang and all the students of the school came running out. A few months had past, and now Sora was one of the group. Speaking of the group, they were now presently running out of the school gate. All of them were excited about the up coming break and were making plans of what to do.

"We should go on a trip!" Selhie suggested.

"We should eat sugar!" yelled Yuffie and Tidus.

"We should come up with some new battle plans!" Wakka annoucned.

"..."Cloud stared at them all. Kairi and Sora laughed along with their friends. They all ended up walking up on top of the hill with the one tree and sat down in the shade, looking out at the whole village. Tidus and Yuffie climbed the thick branches to get good seats above the crowd. Cloud sat in his usual, bruding silence. He never did talk, though the group had no idea why. Kairi sighed as she looked up at the sky.

"You know..." Riku began, "we'll all be going to high school next year."

"YES! I thought I was going to get held back!" Tidus rejoiced.

"That's not what I mean. For the last nine years of our lives, since we started school, it's just been our side of town. But this high school is bigger and farther away. And it's the whole town. Everyone from the far west pennisula to the eastern river, and the south shore, as well as here in the northen hills. There will be alot of people." They all fell to silence.

"And uniforms. We all live in the same town, so what does it matter if we wear uniforms or not?" Selphie asked. Riku shrugged. Yuffie sighed.

"That means Leon will be going to the same school as us!"

"He already goes to the same school!" Tidus reminded her.

"Oh yeah. I forgot."

"Anyway, I see Riku's point. We have to make many more new battle plans to protect Kairi!" Wakka concluded. Everyone let out exagerated, disparing sighs.

"Wakka! Would you cool it? No one's gonna come all the way out to our stupid town to attack Kairi and take her power!" Sel yelled at him.

"Nonsense! It's always good to be prepared!" Kairi giggled at the arguments that ensued. Sora, who said nothing till now, spoke.

"It means alot of change. We might get seperated, and there are always new people that became friends and enemies. And not only that, but we're getting older." They all fell silent, even Cloud-but he was silent to begin with. Selphie stood up.

"Well, who cares about that stuff now? That's not for a few months! I say we go on a vaction to Dust Rose Bay!" The group looked at her excitedly.

"Really! I've always wanted to go there!" Kairi exclaimed, standing up to strech. Sora smiled.

"Is it a cool place?" he asked, never hearing of the place before. Yuffie jumped down from the tree.

"Of course it is!" she yelled, practically right into his face. "It's the big beach town that's like a whole resort!"

"You mean a resort that's like a whole town?" Tidus supplied.

"Whatever? Anyway, you stay in house that are right on the beach, and there are shops and skyscrapers and restruants and traffic! It's like a mini city!"

"And there's so much to do!" Sel went on.

"They have five blitzball courts!" Wakka said, thinking of how he could use blitzball to come up with a new stratagy...

"hmm..." Cloud finally said.

"Yeah, it a pretty cool place. I guess alot of people will be heading there." Riku stood up and brushed off his pants.

"Then it's decided!" Kairi said. "We'll go on a vacation there!"

"Two weeks!" Sel declared.

Yuffie joined the girls as they walked down the hill. "SUGAR!" She yelled.

"Oh, sugar! I'm in!" Tidus jumped down from the tree. "Come on, Sora!" Sora also stood as Cloud and Wakka wisked by.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" He ran down to catch the group.

Kairi picked out some more clothes and shoved them into her suitcase. A whole two weeks with her friends at Dust Rose Bay, away from her solitary town that hated her. Looking forward to the trip with all her heart, she still had a feeling that something would happen. Shaking it out of her head, she walked over to her window and looked at the small vine growning near it. The vine, which had been near dead a few months ealier, was now perfectly healthy and growning to a good size. She looked out onto the town and watched the sun set over the ocean, which was now a perfect mirror of the sky.

High school was going to be scary. She would meet more people-that was the chance for more people to hate her and harm her. It was scary, but she knew as long as everyone stayed by her and together, that everything would be fine. But was theif friendship really that strong? Why would she doubt it if it was so strong?

She shook he head. She was just putting thoughts in her head. Nothing would go wrong, this trip would be fun. She headed back into her room to finish packing.
