Chapter 8- Party?
Dear Diary,
Tonight was the perfect night. I got kissed! Guess from who? Sora! I was so happy. We danced under the stars. Namine and Cloud danced too, but just in my room. Christy ruined our dances with the guys at school, but it was all made up for in the end. I still can't believe Christy and her friends poured ranch on Namine's beautiful dress. Now it's ruined, the oils won't come out. I'm proud of Namine for standing up for herself by slapping Christy in the face in front of everyone. It was great! Well, after Sora and Cloud left, we got a phone call from Selphie saying that we got invited to a party in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure who the person is, but it sounds fun, as long as Sora, Cloud and Namine go. My mom said I could if my grades are good. I have no idea what they are, but I'm nervous about my math grade. I haven't been too good in that class. Well I'm hoping for the best.
Love always, Kairi
"Finished?" Namine asked, as I closed my diary. I nodded, putting it neatly into my bedside table. "Hey, isn't that the one that Sora gave you when you left, as a going away present?"
"Yeah," I smiled, still giddy from the kiss. "He told me to use it when something important comes into my life. Go figure I would start writing in it when I came back and you guys came back into my life." Namine laughed. I gave a big grin. " Well Nam, you can either stay in my room, or you can sleep in one of the guest bedrooms."
"Hum?" Namine said putting her finger to her chin and looking up. She looked back at me and smiled. "Your room, that way we can stay up all night and play on your PS2 or talk!" I laughed.
"Okay, do you mind sleeping on the floor?" I asked her.
"Not a problem," she said. I went into the hall closet and brought in extra pillows and blankets. I threw them onto the ground, ready to make a small bed when Namine jumped into the pile.
"Uh, I was going to make a bed for you…" I said as she made her self comfortable. She just smiled. We ended up staying up until 3 in the morning, just talking about school and the guys.
School was going good, I did my best to make sure that if my grade in math was bad, it was brought up before the party. After school, the day of the party, was also the day that progress reports came out in the mail. I realized this half way up to my room, so I hurried up to drop my stuff off in my room then back downstairs.
"I'm gonna check the mail!" I called out running out the door before my mom could respond. I figured that if I did have my grade report in there, I could hide it if it was bad. Luckily my mom didn't know that they were coming out today. I reached the mailbox at the end of the lawn. I took a deep breath before I opened it. There wasn't anything in it! "That's strange, we always have mail. At least I don't have to worry," I sighed in relief as I closed the mailbox and walked back inside.
"Was there anything in there?" My mom said as soon as I got inside.
"Nope," I smiled. "Well I'm going to go get ready for the party." I started to head up the stairs.
"Kairi, stop where you are," my mom called after me. I slowly turned around to face her. She lifted an envelope up. "Care to explain?" My eyes widened.
"About…" I tried to stall, so I could think of an excuse. I had a feeling it wouldn't work. You can never get away with things from moms, they always seem to know. My mom glared at me. I let out a sigh and slowly walked down to face her. "What did I get?"
"Well all your grades are good, except you have a 'D' in math," my mom replied.
"A 'D'? I worked hard for that 'D'! Mom please, let me go to the party!" I begged. I could tell I wasn't going to get anywhere, but I still continued to beg. "Mom. Please. I'll do anything, just let me go to this party."
"No, Kairi. I told you already you cannot go unless your grades are decent, that means nothing lower then a 'C'," my mom said sternly.
"Mom! Please!" I begged some more. She crossed her arms not budging.
"No is no. Now go to your room before I ground you!" she said. I glared at her before I stormed up into my room. I got my cell phone out and called Namine. I told her I couldn't go and for her to tell Sora and Cloud I wasn't going to make it. I sat in my room until about eight when my mom came into my room. "We're going out to eat dinner, then we're going to visit your aunt for a bit. We'll be home later, there's some dinner in the fridge if you get hungry."
"Whatever," I said crossing my arms. My mom walked up to me and kissed my forehead.
"I'm sorry Kairi. Maybe another time," she said before she walked out. I rolled my eyes. I heard the door close down stairs. Not too long after, I heard the car pull out of the driveway. 'What to do?' I thought to myself as I got up and looked around my room. My stomach growled at me. 'That's easy. Eat.' I walked downstairs into the kitchen. I was searching for something good to eat when my doorbell rang. I closed the fridge and walked to the door.
"Come on," was the first thing that was said to me when I opened the door. Cloud, Namine, Sora, Riku and Selphie were in my doorway.
"You guys, I can't. I'm in trouble remember?" I said.
"We know, but we saw your parents drive away, so they won't know, come on Kairi," Cloud said.
"What if they get home and I'm not home?" I asked.
"Stop worrying and come on!" Riku urged.
"But I'm not even ready to go to the party," I stated pointing to my outfit, which were light blue caprices, a white t-shirt and white and blue flip-flops.
"It's nothing formal. Come on Kairi, please?" Selphie asked.
"Namine, help me out here," I said looking at my best friend.
"Hey, I got talked into this too. I wasn't going to go since you weren't," Namine replied. I sighed. Next thing I know, they pulled me outside. Sora closed the door behind us.
"You guys!" I yelled as they pulled me down the street. "I can't do this."
"Stop fighting Kairi, you're not going to win." Riku said. He was right, there wasn't anyway I was going to get out of their grip. I stopped fighting back.
"You guy's are bad influences, just so you know that," I huffed to them. About five blocks later, we finally saw the house where the party was being held. Kids from our school were everywhere! Literally. I saw kids on the street, in the pool, in the trees, in the bushes, on the roof. I was shocked out how outrageous everyone was acting.
"This isn't what I was excepting," Sora said gazing at the huge house. He looked back at all of us. "Let's go bowling or get ice cream or something else. I don't want to be caught in this mess."
"Alright," we all agreed. We started to turn back when we heard someone calling us.
"Hey, you guys! Come on!" Tidus' voice rang out. We turned back towards the house looking for him.
"Up here!" Wakka called waving his hands out a window from the second story. We all exchanged looks.
"Do you wanna go in?" Sora asked us.
"I guess. Only for a little bit though, I don't want to get into trouble here," I replied. They all agreed and we walked down the pathway to the house.
