It was cold. REALLY cold. I probably should have been more prepared. School was just let out and I was walking as fast I could back to my own house so I could escape from the freezing cold.
Stray leaves were blowing swiftly through the air and into my face. I had to brush them off with one hand as I held my windbreaker jacket closed with the other. The wind made it really chilly even though it was early autumn. It was late September actually. I was glad that I wore pants instead of a skirt today. My legs would be too frozen to move. My ears were numb and my cheeks felt frostbitten.
However, my main concern was my hands. After buttoning up my windbreaker I stopped for a second. It didn't help much to curl my fingers and warm them with my breath. A little while after doing this a pair of gray wool gloves were stuck in front of my face by an already gloved hand. I looked to my side and saw that my best friend Riku was holding them out in front of me.
Riku flashed me a quick smile. "Here, borrow my extra pair."
I flashed a quick smile back, and I took the gloves from his hands then put them on quickly. "Thanks," I said kindly.
Riku and I started walking to our warm homes. After a while we didn't really say anything to each other. Riku suddenly broke the silence. "When was the last time you saw Sora?"
I thought for a moment. "Not for a couple weeks. I tried calling a few times but no one was there and I never got an answering machine."
"Same with me. I've tried to go over his house but I've never seen any cars in the driveway whenever I go there."
"Well, I wish I knew what was going on. If my best friend was going to be out of school for at least two weeks, I would I think that I should know."
"So do I," Riku sighed.
By the time Riku said that, we reached my house. I turned and ran up my long driveway but not before I said to Riku "See you tomorrow,"
After running past our crimson minivan, into my house, up the stairs, and into my room, I plopped myself onto my bed face-first. Then, I got up and flung my jacket and bag into a corner.
At first, I didn't know what to do. The first thing I did was go over to my collection of beanie-babies. I picked up my favorite beanie lobster and I held it with both arms straight out. I found myself talking to my beanie-baby. "You don't have to go to boring school all day, do you, Lawrence?"
When I put Lawrence down, something caught my eye. It was my favorite picture sitting in a frame on my desk. I picked it up and examined it closely. It was a picture of Sora, Riku, and I. We were all smiling and giving a thumbs up while we were all covered in mud. When it was taken, we had just came back from a fishing trip at a nearby lake. It was after a rainstorm and we had a mudfight. It was actually one of the best times of my life.
While I was reminiscing, my mother called to me from downstairs. "Kairi! You need to come walk Fifi!"
Quickly, I set the picture down and I ran down the stairs. My mom was already at the bottom holding Fifi's leash with Fifi already in it. Without saying a word, I took my little French poodle's leash and headed out the door.
When I did head out the door, I started walking down the driveway while Fifi wasn't moving at all. I looked back at Fifi who was sitting on the doorstep smiling at wagging her tail.
I let out a tired groan. "Come on, 'Feef'. I want to get this over with." Fifi let out a loud yelp and started walking along with me. I was walking slowly while Fifi was scurrying from side to side and sniffing everything we passed.
In the middle of our walk Selphie approached me. "Hey, Kairi!"
I was staring at Selphie with a glum expression while Fifi was peeing on a traffic sign. "What do you want?" Selphie just kept on staring at me slightly leaned over with her arms close to her body. "What do you want?" Selphie still would not answer. "Selphie? Okay, you're creeping me out now. Stop it. If you don't talk in the next five seconds I'm going to leave."
Immediately after I said that, she spoke. "I know who you would be to couple with." I couldn't wait to hear this one. Selphie always tries to pair together people at our school and anybody that does listen to her doesn't really do that well in a relationship with who she recommends. "You'd be perfect with Tidus!"
Tidus? He was this boy at our school plays soccer. He's actually really good at it too. But the thing that's weird about Tidus is the way he dresses. It would too hard for me to explain just how he dresses but I can sum it up in one word; "unsymmetrical".
"Yeah, sure, I'll ask him tomorrow." I said without much enthusiasm.
"No! I'm serious. I've heard that he's having his eyes on you."
"I'm flattered but I don't think so."
"Fine, then. Don't trust me that it would be a good idea." I spotted from the corner of my eye that Yuffie was walking along the street. Selphie then quickly turned around and ran towards Yuffie. "Hey! Guess what!'
"Finally," I mumbled under my breath. Somebody else she can bother." Fifi and I finished our walk and we went back to my house.
Please review because wondering whether or not I should continue it. When you tell me what you think please give an honest answer.
