Chapter 6- Spring Break Plans and New Jobs
About six fifteen Cloud walked in with a red rose and a charm bracelet. Namine was so surprised by the gifts yet very happy. Those two were beyond perfect for each other. Nam had one of the chaperones hold onto her rose while she went to the dance floor with Cloud. Not too long after, probably at six twenty, Sora came in with a very small wrapped box. When I opened it, I saw a rhinestone outline of a star necklace with a rhinestone 'K' inside. He put it on for me. We walked out to the dance floor. Since this was mostly a couple's dance, a lot more slow songs played then faster songs. 'Sway' by the Pussy Cat Dolls were on (A/N: thanks for the song idea thesrazrbladekisses!) but it was near the end of the song.
"So you like it?" Sora asked pulling me really close to him by my waist. We swayed side to side.
"I love it. Thank you." I kissed him as I wrapped my arms around his neck. 'Listen To Your Heart' by DHT started to play. "I love this song."
"Yeah same here." I heard him sigh. "It's such a perfect night." Sora said holding me tight.
"You read my mind." I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest. When the next slow song came on, I looked at Namine and Cloud. Nam looked so happy. This was defiantly the most I've seen her glow. Cloud treats my Nam like a goddess. They're perfect for each other. I looked back at Sora. I saw someone walking behind us. He tapped Sora's shoulder.
"Can I have a dance?" A guy about Sora's height with blond hair and blue-green eyes asked motioning towards me. Sora looked at me.
"Only if you want." Sora said.
"Uh, sure." I said. Sora let go of me and kissed my forehead.
"I'll be over there." He pointed towards some friends I didn't know too well. I nodded. When Sora left, the guy put his hands on my waist. I put my hands on his shoulders.
"Hi, I'm Kyle." He said with a smile.
"Hi, I'm-" I began.
"Kairi." He finished for me. I looked at him. "Namine showed me a picture of you two."
"Oh, so you go to her school?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm friends with Cloud and Namine. They say I remind them of Sora (A/N: No I didn't intend him to be the bhk, it didn't even cross my mind until just now) And I'm guessing that was Sora." Kyle said looking in the direction Sora went. Yeah, I guess he did look like Sora, but no one could compare to him.
"Yeah, kinda." I said. After the song was over, I was ready to mingle. Kyle went with me to find Sora, but I couldn't find him anywhere.
"Well, let's go talk to some people from my school and we'll see if he finds you." Kyle said as we went through the crowd.
"Hey Yuffie." I said as we walked up to her, Namine and Cloud.
"Hi Kairi, how are you?" Yuffie asked. I shrugged. I noticed her gazing dreamingly. I got close to Namine.
"Does she like Kyle?" I whispered into her ear. She nodded.
"Yo Kairi!" I heard behind me. I turned to see Wakka waving at me. "Sora's looking for you!"
"Okay!" I yelled back. "Just call me when you're ready to leave Nam." I told her as I walked towards Wakka. We walked through the crowd.
"Where've you been?" Sora asked when we reached him.
"Just talking to some people. What do you got there?" I asked noticing Sora had pictures in his hands.
"Me and a friend drove to the store to pick up the pictures I took." He showed me pictures of his family, his grandparent's property, which was huge by the way, and of course the picture he took of me and our picture.
"Wow, your grandparents must be rich." I said gazing at pictures of his family on the skate ramp, the swimming pool, the basketball court, the volleyball court, the hot tub and the mini play ground for his younger cousins. He laughed. "We look good in our picture."
"I love the picture." He said giving me a copy. We put out things by the DJ, since Sora knew him. We continued to dance and mingle until about eleven when Nam called. Sora and Cloud stayed while we left.
"You know, I think Kyle likes you." Nam said out of the blue on our way home. I looked at her.
"Uh, why?" I asked.
"Because when he first saw your picture on my binder he asked all about you, plus he did dance with you."
"Ugh, doesn't he know I'm taken?"
"I tried to explain that already." I rolled my eyes.
"He's cool and all, but I've got Sora." Nam agreed with me. When we got to her house, we changed into our pjs and fell asleep almost right away. Not to long after, I heard my name.
"Kairi." Namine's voice called. "Kairi!" I pulled the covers over my head and hugged my pillow. Next thing I know I feel a pillow slap hard against my body. "Kairi get up!"
"What!" I mumbled as I sat up.
"You're phone's ringing." She said. Then I actually heard my cell phone I quickly grabbed it.
"Hello?" I tired not to sound tired.
"Did I wake you?" Sora asked. I looked at the clock. It was 12:30.
"No." I lied.
"Well, my parents were talking to me when I got home. We're going to my uncles house on Sunset Bay, my cousins house on Blue Lagoon for a day and a night each and then my grandparents guest house for five days and night on Paradise Cove for Spring Break." Sora explained. "And well, my parents said that I could bring you, Namine and Cloud."
I was shock. I would love to spend a whole week with my favorite people. I was just hoping Nam's parents and mine would allow us to go.
"I would love to! I'll talk to Nam and we'll ask our parents. How much money would we need?" I asked.
"We have our connections. Everything's free." He said.
"Wow."
"So just tell me when you find out."
"Alright."
"Love ya Kai. Sweet dreams." Sora said.
"Love you too, night." We hung up the phone. I explained everything to Namine. She wanted to go just as bad as me. We decided to ask the next day, and if our parents wont allow us to go, we would prove to them that we earned the opportunity to go if we did good things such as pass our tests, do homework and do chores. We fell asleep not too long after. The next morning, we went with each other to ask. We were both surprised at our answers we decided to talk about it as we walked in the busiest part of town.
"Oh my gosh Kai, I can't believe we're both allowed to go!" Namine said excitedly as we pushed our way through the crowded sidewalks.
"I know! I'm surprised we didn't have to argue. We got a straight yes!" I said just as excited. "Come on Nam, let's get a chocolate monkey at Charlie's to celebrate."
Nam and I made our way to Charlie's, which is a popular eat out for all the local teens in our city. Go figure we live in the biggest, most populated city with is also the capital for all the islands and the Destiny Isle it's self.
"Two chocolate monkey's" I said to Sam, the manager of Charlie's. I came so much, that he knew me well.
"Sure thing Kairi." Sam replied. Almost immediately we received our chocolate monkey's. They're two scoops of vanilla ice cream, with two chocolate fudge brownies, caramel and hot fudge toppings, whipped cream and a cherry, not to forget small slices of strawberries on the side. (A/N: gosh that sounds good right now!) Nam and me were addicted. We sat down at our normal booth, which was a circular booth in the corner.
"Hey Namine!" we heard from behind us. We turned around to see Kyle and Yuffie. "Hey Kairi!"
"Hi." Nam and me said in unison.
"We're going to order." Yuff said. Her and Kyle came back about five minutes later with their food. We talked and I got to know more about the two of them. They're pretty nice.
"Hold on." I said putting my hand up. "Hey Sam, can you turn the music up!" I called to him. He went to the Employ Lounge and I heard the music turn up. He walked out. "Thank you!"
"I love this song!" Namine said. Maroon 5, 'This Love' played.
"This Love has taken its toll on me! She said goodbye so many times before!" Nam and me sang aloud. We ended up having half the other people in the restaurant sing with us. I defiantly had a good time. I was so grateful to have a best friend like Namine who would do this type of thing with me. After we all finished we got up to leave.
"Kairi!" I heard Sam say.
"Yeah?" I turned around. He motioned me to come to him. "Hold on guys."
"We'll be outside." Namine said as the three of them walked out the doors as I went to talk to Sam.
"Do you have a job yet?" he said when I got to the counter.
"Uh, no." I replied.
"Want one?"
"Sure!" I exclaimed. Charlie's paid real well. Nine bucks an hour plus tips! Since it's so popular and a decent price for food, it was well paid. Plus everyone got along and it was well kept.
"Think Namine would want one?" Sam asked. I ran out to ask her. She came back with me.
"Really? I can work here? With Kai?" Nam was so eager. Sam nodded his head. "Thank you so much!"
"So when do we work?" I asked.
"Well, you and Namine will have the same schedule. How about Monday through Friday, nine-thirty am to two for weekends. On school days, three to eight." He explained.
"Thanks so much Sam. See you later!" I said as we walked outside.
"Doesn't Charlie's open at 10?" Yuffie asked as we went to the beach.
"I guess we have to go early to set up." Nam said.
"Think of all the free food." Kyle mentioned.
"Food…" Namine said as if she was drooling.
"We just ate Nam!" I laughed. She was always hungry no matter what.
"I'm still hungry!" She whined. I just laughed more. I heard my phone ring so I picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey." Sora responded.
"Oh, hey, guess what!"
"Hum?"
"We can go!" I said excitedly.
"Yes!"
"Oh, plus Nam and me got jobs."
"Where?"
"Charlie's."
"That's cool, when do you work?" I explained out schedule to him. After we hung up, Nam, Kyle, Yuffie and I walked around town until seven when we went home. Namine and me stopped by Charlie's before we went home though, to get our work shirts, hats, nametags and aprons.
I got up at 8 and got ready for my first day of work. I tied my hair up in a ponytail and put my black visor on. I had a bright green t-shirt on. The guys who worked there wore a sky blue colored shirt. My apron was black with the word 'Charlie's' on it with the color of our work shirts as every other letter. My nametag was worn right above it. We were allowed to wear whatever bottoms we wanted to as long as they were black along with black shoes.
Namine was waiting outside her house in her uniform. We walked to Charlie's. We made sure everything was set up before I switched the sign on the door from 'closed' to 'open'. Around noon it got really busy since we were out for winter break. Namine and I were doing really well. I went to go refill a tables drinks, but as I was filling their drinks up, I noticed two guys with their menu's covering their faces as they talked.
"That new waitress, I think her name is Kairi… she's pretty hott." One of them said.
"I think that other waitress, Namine, is the hott one." The other one said. I glared, I went back to the counter by Namine who was picking up orders for the table I had just refilled the drinks too and I told her. She went to the table and gave them their food as I went to get the drink orders for the two guys who were covering their faces.
"Can I get you something to drink?" I asked them.
"Pepsi." One answered still covering his face.
"Make that two." The other said. I went back to get their drinks.
"Thanks, You can stay for a bit, it's yours and your friend's break anyways." The first one said when I returned.
"How did you know it was mine and Namine's lunch break?" I asked curiously.
"We have our ways." Said the second guy. Namine came up to the table and looked at me.
"Come on, sit down." The first guy said. I sat down at the very edge of the seat at the booth next to him. Nam sat by the other guy.
"About time." The second one said. They pulled their menus down to expose who they were. Namine's mouth dropped open.
"I can't believe you!" I said in shock at Sora and Cloud's smiling faces. They laughed. Because of that, Nam and me took their drinks.
"Sorry to cut your break short girls, but we need you back." John, a co-worker from CHS called to us. We returned the drinks and went back to work. Our day went by smoothly.
A/N: yeah blunt ending, I'm going to save the next chapter to start off their vacation. Anyways please review!
