A/N: I'm SO sleepy. Ooo but I got some new sunglasses. Lol—they're HOTT.
Wednesday-entry 11
This is week two of my being grounded and let me tell you, this is NOT FUN. I've been in my room for so long—I'm beginning to hate it. Cloud took my stereo out of my room…he doesn't know I have a portable CD player. Lucky me. You'd think all I would be doing is writing in you, because that's mainly all I can do (besides homework) while I'm grounded, but I haven't been. How weird. OH—and the evilest thing that Cloud could EVER DO, he did. He banned me from eating candy as part of my punishment. Like—OMG. PURE EVIL! So I'm low on sugar and haven't touched any electrical appliances (not including lamps, light switches, or my portable CD player) in 12 days.
"Sora, do you really have to play video games in front of me while I'm grounded?"
I was sitting at the desk in the corner with my back towards him trying to avoid staring at the TV. Donald and Goofy were in town again, and they got Sora another copy of the key, but he was always at my place. Our suite had become his second home—more like his first.
"Yeah—cause D won't let me play video games at our place. He prefers I read a nice book or something." His eyes were glued to the TV screen and he was tilting himself really far to the right, as if that would help his car turn better or something.
"Who's D?" I put my pencil down on my paper. I was getting tired of homework. Anyway—what demented, EVIL teacher gives their students homework their last few days of school?
"Oh..Donald."
I arched my left eyebrow and turned to the side to look at him, "And G for Goofy, and Y for Yuffie?" I grinned and rested my arms and head on the back of my chair. Yes, I was being stupid.
Sora's PIMPED OUT Silver Celica crashed into a train. He turned his head and looked at me, "Ok. What would be a better nickname for Donald?"
"I don't know—FUN SUCKER?"
He laughed, "Fun Sucker?"
"Yes. Because he won't let you play video games in the house, he is sucking the fun out of having an x-box. And for sucking the fun out of things, he shall be called FUN-SUCKER." I mocked Sora's cheesy grin.
Sora shook his head laughing a little.
Did you know being grounded during the last week of school really stinks? Everyone is going out, hanging out with their friends at the mall or the movies, or partying—but you have to stay home. It's so NOT FAIR. Like…POO! ARGH. I am at home with nothing to do. Cloud is working overtime and Aerith is out with her friend. I can't go online—Cloud took my computer away, too. There is…the phone. Who do I call though? Isn't everyone busy? Maybe I should try calling Sora.
I thought about what to do for about another three minutes then decided I'd just do that. So I picked up the phone and dialed Sora's number.
RING. RING. RING. RING. RING. RING. RING. RING.
'Hi—sorry I can't pick up right now, leave a message and I'll—'
I set the phone back down in the receiver and flopped down onto my bean back chair. Great. Sora's not home being a loser like me. I feel like such a BIG LOSER.
Friday-entry 12
OMG I AM SOOO BORED JOURNAL! Being grounded sucks times TEN now cause I'm the only one not having fun today. Well—I'm not totally sure about that, but right now it seems like it is. ARGH.
Ok. What do I do? I have to do something fun before I die of boredom. I should go out. Should I? Aerith isn't here—Cloud isn't either—who would know? No but I can't—I'm grounded.
Shut up other-Yuffie.
This is the last day of school—you should be out partying your butt off and or hanging out with buddies. You're going to do it. I'm going to do it. Yes. Ok.
I reached for the doorknob and then before I even turned it someone else on the other side did. The door opened and Aerith was there. She looked startled.
"Yuffie—hi. What are you doing?"
Crap. "Nothing. I just wanted to greet you…the moment you walked in."
"…Ok." She stared at me wide-eyed. She kind of walked around me and into the kitchen (Yeah..we used to NOT have kitchens, but someone complained about having to go 'all the way' down to the café to eat so the manager had a kitchen built into each room—since the hotel is actually more like apartments now).
POOP. I dragged my feet as I walked towards my "cell". I closed my door and then turned around to face it. I stared at the hot pink door and then started banging my head against it. Oh…is my room spiffy or what? Black and white walls with a hot pink door. Oh..what was I doing? Oh yeah.
So I continued to bang my head against the door for about another four minutes before I heard someone's muffled voice TALKING TO ME. I froze and listened a while longer to make sure they were talking to me. Nothing.
I started leaning forward to hit the door again. At the same time the person pushed my door open.
"OW! What the heck are you doing—trying to give me BRAIN DAMAGE?" I backed away from the door and rubbed my forehead.
Selphie giggled, "No, I think you've been taking care of that."
I looked up and gasped, "SELPHIE!" I gave her a huge hug, "Where the heck have you been? I haven't seen you for weeks—I thought you were DEAD!" Really, I thought she got hit by a bus or something.
Selphie laughed and tried to avoid being suffocated by my bone-crushing hug. "I've been in another world. Visiting old friends, you know."
I let go of her and then sat down on my bed. As soon as her eyes drifted away from me I quickly shoved my journal under my pillow. She looked back at me and jumped on my bed next to me. I grinned, "Sooo. What are you doing this summer?"
"Eh. Don't know yet. I might go on a gummi-ship trip with some friends."
"Ooh. Awesome. I thought we were supposed to do that our senior year."
"Yeah I know—but some of my friends who just graduated asked me to go with them. So I was like 'YES!', heh. Who would pass that up?"
Ok. So we like—continued talking (non-stop) for about another hour. We would have talked way longer, but Cloud got home and reminded me that I was still grounded.
I opened my eyes and sat up in bed. I glanced at my alarm clock; it was 12:34pm.
"YESSSS!" I AM OFFICIALLY OFF OF GROUNDING. OH MY GOSH—YES! YES! YES!
Third day of summer vaca, I've still got like two months to have fun.
After a shower and lunch I decided to call Sora. This time I did reach him, but he was busy. Too busy to talk to your best friend? Wow.
So I ended up at Leon's house doing nothing but watching TV. I could have done this at my house, but I always talk to myself cause I forget and think someone is there—so why not have Squall watch TV with me? He doesn't talk much anyway so it IS like talking to Bob.
Bob's an imaginary friend I made up during my two weeks of 'solitude'. I don't think I'll be talking to him as much anymore, but I won't get rid of him. He might turn into a boogeyman—what you haven't seen that kid movie? I saw it on Disney channel when I was like…7. They said if you ever stop believing in your imaginary friend they turn into a boogeyman. That's why I NEVER had one..but now I'm stuck with Bob. Poo. –Well, until I find out that movie wasn't true or something. Why would the TV lie to me?
"You know what would be good right now, Squallie?" I leaned back and put my feet on his coffee table.
Squall eyed my dirty shoes, "What?"
"If you got us some candy."
"I don't like candy." He turned to the next page of his super big book. (That just reminded me of that movie 'DOGDE BALL: a true underdog story' where Ben Stiller's character was trying to look smart and was reading the dictionary. Yeah…ok if you SAW the movie—you know what I'm talking about.)
"What are you talking about? A couple of weeks ago I caught you in here with some starbursts."
He rolled his eyes, "Those weren't mine."
I thought for a minute, "EWE. You mean it was like when a chick finds her boyfriend with a pair of mysterious undies in his room?"
Squall didn't laugh; he just cocked up his left eyebrow.
Ok. Whatever. I turned my attention back to the TV. I snuck another glance at him though when he wasn't paying attention. I still think Leon's a pretty attractive guy—I don't like him anymore. I swear. I used to think Squall was like…the hottest guy ever, that was before I saw Riku. After seeing Riku in the hallway, I thought he was the hottest hot hottie..for about a day. Cause then I met Sora—ok I should stop talking now. I don't like him either. Selphie thinks I'm totally lucky though, cause I get to be around Sora like all the time. I don't see what's so lucky about that. I mean, it's fun hanging out with my best friend and all but I still don't get it. What? Do they all want to be his best friend too? I guess he's THAT cool.
"Squall, I'm bored. Can we go see a movie or something? Watching re-runs all day isn't my ideal way to have fun." I stood up and attempted to steal his novel away from him.
He jerked the book away, like—the second my fingertips came within 2 centimeters from the book. "Yuff, I didn't ask you to come over. You're lucky I was nice and even opened the door for you."
I pouted, "But Squa-aaall. I am bored, and it's your job to de-bored me."
"When did that become my job?" he dog-eared his page and then closed the book. He set his book down on the coffee table and walked into the dark hallway.
I followed him, "So—to the café or the movies?"
"I'm going to my bedroom. I don't know where you're going."
"No. Squalliiiiiiiiiiieee!" he shut the door. I waited for a while then figured I'd just force him out of bed.
I opened the door and then jumped on him. He screamed like a little girl—I must have freaked him out that bad. I just pulled a freaky ninja move on him. He didn't even hear the door open. Plus it was pitch black in his room; he really needs to open up some windows. I dragged him out of his hotel room and down the large hall. When I reached the stairs he finally agreed to stand up and walk on his own.
Tuesday- entry 13
Ok. So no sign of Sora today either, instead I hung out with Squall. He actually kinda opened up to me for about ten minutes. When he realized he was being too normal and was having a good time, he stopped and went back to being 'the human rock'. We went and saw 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. I know—it's a kiddy movie; I enjoyed it, though. Squall enjoyed it, too. I know he did.
Should I be worried about Sora? I mean, I haven't seen that kid for like..about a week now, since school ended. Is he dead? Whatever.
"Tomorrow's going to be SO MUCH FUN" according to Selphie. She's planned out the entire day for us…and Kairi is going to be there too. She says the three of us haven't been hanging out much and tomorrow shall be just for us to have tons of FUN FUN FUN.
1. Morning jog together (ugh..I have to get up early just to do that?)
2. Breakfast at café
3. Shopping
4. Movies
5. Lunch at café
6. Stop by Tidus' apartment (don't know why)
7. Go to Record store (be sure to look out for hot guys there)
8. Pick up groceries and cook dinner at Selphie's place (hm..like, milk and cereal?)
9. Sleepover at Kairi's apartment (NOOOOOO!)
The bolded one (#7) is the only event I'm really looking forward to doing.
"SELPH…" pant "Let's slow down." Kairi stopped and bent forward placing her hands on her knees. She was totally out of breath.
Selphie stopped and walked back towards her, "You ok Kairi?"
Kairi just nodded, still bent over trying to catch her breath.
I stopped and jogged in place, "C'mon you two—I know you are NOT this out of shape."
Selphie sighed, "I thought you didn't even want to do the run, Yuff."
"Yeah—I didn't. You did, so why aren't you guys running?"
Selphie rolled her eyes and gestured at Kairi. I chuckled but then stopped when Kairi looked up at me. I decided to do some stretches while I waited.
"OOOoo. I HAVE to get this skirt!" Kairi browsed through the rack of mini-skirts for a size 1.
My eyes just wandered around the store. I wasn't too interested in these clothes. Just across from this store was the one I wanted to go in. They sold a bunch of skater/punk stuff there—best store in the mall, if you ask me.
"Yuffie, are you going to try anything on?" Selph pulled a shirt off a nearby rack.
I smirked, "This is more…your thing—slutty clothes aren't really ME, Selph."
We both laughed but immediately stopped when we realized on of the employees heard my comment.
"Just try something on." Selph handed me the shirt she was holding.
I examined it. It was a plain faded hunter-green t-shirt with the store logo on the front. T-shirts were good. "Is this so I can be a walking ad?" I held the shirt up to myself and looked at the girls.
"I think that's a cute shirt." Kairi commented.
I shrugged, "Sure."
So we came back from the mall finally, near 12pm. I bought that green t-shirt, a brown leather cuff-bracelet thing, and a pair of sunglasses from Spencer's. Selphie and Kairi had like billions and billions of things so I won't even bother trying to list (or remember) what they bought.
I figured out why we HAD to stop by Tidus' apartment now. Selph's got a major crush on him. HA. That was really unexpected.
"Oh my gosh—Selphie, why couldn't we just go to the café or something for dinner?" Kairi dropped the large grocery bag on the counter.
"Well, I thought it'd be fun to just cook." Selphie closed the door and locked it.
I sat down on a stool by the counters, "One problem Selph," I took a bite out of my cookie, "None of us know how to cook."
Selphie looked around the room for something, "We can learn?" she grinned.
"We can learn?" I cocked up an eyebrow.
"YES. We can learn. Now let's get started—I'm starving." She dropped her keys in a jar and then started searching through the cupboards.
Dinner was terrible (and half-burnt). I had fun, we almost burned the hotel down though, so her parents asked us to NEVER attempt to cook again. Fine with me. I did warn them that all I could cook was cereal. I tried making rice-a-roni once, but I burned it..in the microwave. I'm sure that happens a lot though, right?
Right.
Wednesday-entry 14
Ok it was really really risky, but I brought you along with me to the sleepover at Kairi's house. I'm still alive—no one's attempted to shank me in my sleep yet. Well, I haven't fallen asleep yet, but whatever. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Anyway—dare I say it? I actually had fun today…with Kairi and Selphie. We went shopping, saw a movie, ran, cooked dinner together, almost started a fire, and met a few hot guys at the record store.
I met a guy named Nicky. NICKY'S HOT. I think he's emo. He's got black hair down to his eyes, his lip's pierced, he was wearing a black UNDEROATH t-shirt, and a pair of girl jeans. Yeah that's emo. Anyway—Nicky was working at the register but he was also helping me find the new Fall Out Boy CD. NICKY'S HOT. He goes to the same school I do, I can't believe I've never seen or met him before. But wow. Nicky's hot.
Ok enough about Nicky. I still haven't talked to Sora. He called though, while I was out. I got two messages from him. I guess I forgot to turn on the ringer on my cell phone—I had it on silent all day. The first one was like,
"Hey Yuff, sorry I haven't been able to answer your phone calls. I've been really busy. You know…um—band stuff. Sorry. I hope you're not mad..you aren't mad at me, right? Well, uh…call me back later. Bye."
That was at 3:26pm
This one was at 11:53pm
"Ok Yuff, it's almost twelve and you still haven't called—I guess you are mad at me? aahhh. Yuff—you're not returning my phone calls! Is this supposed to be some kinda payback for me not returning yours? I'm returning them now. Yuff? Call me back or we're not best friends anymore. I'm serious!" (how mature)
Oh wait—there were three missed calls. He also called again like a minute after he was done leaving the second message
"Ok I was kidding. Just uh…call me back whenever you can ok?"
He's a loser. Anyway—I'm going to bed. It's like…3am and I am SLEEPY. I know Sora's still up and I should call him before he thinks I really am mad at him, but I won't. I am too lazy to and I'd like to make him worry longer. :)
