Chapter 13
She dove into the water with a soft splash; it always helped her to be surrounded by her element. she found it easier to sort out her personal issues when listening to the soft crashing of the ocean waves against the cliff's edge. "Hakeya?" she heard Xai's voice,
She flew up to the rock she once sat on with her transparent wings, "Yes?" she said, her arms crossed. "What's the matter?" he asked "Nothing, why?" he grinned "well for one thing you look pissed & for another you told me how you only came to this particular setting when something bothered you." He was right, "so what if something is wrong? We're not together anymore." "I know but…" he wrapped his arms around her neck, "I still care about you, you know?" Hakeya tensed, she slipped out, "What are you doing! You shouldn't care! I dumped YOU! You should be pissed at me!" he laughed heavily
"But I forgive you…'School work' can be difficult, & balancing a relationship is even harder I'll bet." The way he looked at her told Hakeya that he knew it wasn't the school work that caused the break up, she sighed, "Fine, to be honest, I never really felt like you understood a lot of things I said, whenever I used a big word you'd say "Huh?" or stay silent, & then you took things you shouldn't have seriously, you weren't very smooth, behaviorally speaking, & I need someone more….Humorously inclined, you know?" she explained shyly, trying not to hurt him, "That's what Star told me!" "No! ah-! She told you in a more intensified cruel way & twisted MY words to make it sound harsh! She's a liar & neither one of us should have trusted her! I know I could've have told you better than with a note but it was difficult! You weren't a bad boyfriend I just didn't see a future for us, I'm sorry…" she lowered her gaze, "Oh, Hakeya…I didn't know…& what about how you were avoiding me?" "Well….I….broke up with you…& I didn't want to face you…I also lied about it…" he paused for a moment, "Well, you did it for my sake, taking how I felt into consideration, I suppose that was just your way to steer clear of an argument, but if you wanted smart I could just read the dictionary-" "No, I don't want you to change, you deserve someone who will love you for who you really are."
He's about to object, but stops, "Thank you, I'll escort you out." "Let's go" she smiles, & they leave.
They walk out to the parking lot where the ship is located, "Hey! Hakeya we thought you died or something!" Euraisia joked "You wish!" Hakeya laughs "Hey Hakeya!" Riku walks up to her, "I'm glad you're back! We need someone to scrub the ship!" Hakeya gave him a look, "Why not just use your spongy, head?" she said, "ha ha ha, very funny…" Riku said sarcastically, "You had it coming!" She said cheerfully & punched him lightly in the arm, Xai smiled at how happy she looked, "Later guys, I gotta go to the showdown meeting in the auditorium!" Xai waved & was about to leave "Wait! What showdown?" Marina asked "All the elemental students & teachers are going to fight these "Heartless" "That's crazy! That will only provide a temporary diversion to the inevitable!" Riku warned "We've no other choice…they've already gotten a lot of us, & it's our only option…." Xai says sadly, "No…" Sabella whispered "Our…Home…" Leanna whimpered, Their distressed looks worried Sora, "Don't you worry! Once we reclose the keyhole everything will be back to normal!" "YEAH! & then we'll get a life…time's detention for grand theft auto…" Hakeya said depressed. "Uh heh…"
