A/N: Ha ha ha, now that I look back on my previous chapter, it wasn't really that long. I just think my program I use to type my stories, makes it look longer than it really is. Well, I'm going to work on making them longer so I don't have to feel embarrassed. - blush - Anywho ...
How was your girls'/guys' Holiday? Mine was GREAT. I got so much stuff & I was terribly happy. But I think my highlight gift was an iPod. It holds about 10,000 songs .. x-x; .. and I only have like, 85 on there. I have a hell lot of songs to put on there before I reach my limit. Ha ha. By the way, my computer has been a hell hole this past 2 weeks and at the moment I have to use dial up because our DSL thing won't work. So, I'm sorry if it takes a while to update after this .. but I'm sure it won't, 'cause my mother is fixing it today.
Oh yes, do not go see the movie 'Darkness.' It's not for smart people like me and it really isn't that scary. You'll be thanking me that I just saved you 10.00. :)
Happy New Year!

Once Kairi had practically been thrown out into the hallway, she hadn't really felt so peachy anymore. Her stomach had dropped dramatically, her knees were weak, and she could barely stand on her own two high heels without feeling like she had to fall over. It wasn't that she was really feeling ill, it was just that .. well ... how were people going to re-act when they saw the 'barbie doll' she had transformed into? Some girls would roll their eyes while others would be extremely jealous. The boys .. well. More than likely, a wolf whistle would be called out at her while their demented eyes would be looking her up and down; studying her 'goodies.' Dear Destiny, she did not want that. She would have rather been thrown into a trash can and gotten attention that way.
I don't like this at all .. .. I should have said something to Queenie ... but she probably would have gotten serious revenge even if I had just damaged her ego a little bit .. Kairi quickly began to walk down the hallway at a rather quick pace. While she was walking, she noticed she was already attracting some eye balls. A couple of girls gazed intently at her while one boy, she noticed, was checking her out, up and down.
Kairi blushed.
"KAIRI!"
"OH MY DESTINY!"
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?"
Oh shit. As if the timing could have been worse .. "He he he .. .." Kairi slowly turned around on the heel of her extragavant "shoes" with a nervous smile accompanied on her face. "Y-yes .. ?" When Kairi was finally facing the opposite way, her smile quickly erased itself and her stomach made a funny noise. Selphie and Yuffie ... ... they didn't look so .. well, what was that word .. ?
"THEY FINALLY GOT TO YOU HUH?!"
"Kairi ... why do you look really .. girl?" Selphie whined.
"N-no! It's not what you think you guys! You see, Q-Queenie pulled me into the bathroom .. and then she .. and then .. well you see! She forced me to put on these clothes! I swear I didn't want to!"
Yuffie and Selphie looked at each other, giving themselves a quirky look. The more she studied their expressions, their facial expressions almost said as if they didn't really believe Kairi. When Kairi thought that, she suddenly felt a flame of anger building up inside of her. How could her friends not believe her? They knew she wasn't really like this! But maybe now .. they were having second thoughts. Second Thoughts on HER, their best friend, Kairi.
".... .... Kairi, w-"
Yuffie interrutped Selphie.
"Change out of those clothes Kairi," Yuffie said was an emotionless tone in her voice. "I have a pair of ripped jeans in my locker and a white tank top. You can wear those. You can also wear my old chucks that I use for gym. I mean, why the hell would you want to walk around school for the rest of the day in what you're in?" Yuffie quirked her eyebrow.
"I guess so .. "
As Kairi was getting ready to turn around, a hand rested on her shoulder gently and caused her from doing so. From the corner of her eye, Kairi could see long brown hair and the perfect profile of a perfect, flawless face. And there was only one girl in school who was like that. Queenie. At first, Kairi was as confused as a bat in the light, but then she realized something.
"Hey Joan Jett, she can wear whatever the hell she wants, can't she? Or does she have to go walking around like she's still in the grunge age, like you?"
Oh no .. Oh no .. Oh no. Oh my. Holy crap. Oh no ... Kairi took her eyes away from Queenie's soft and laid back face and moved them over to Selphie and Yuffie. Selphie had her top teeth rested on her bottom lip; trying to keep it from quivering in anger. Kairi was somewhat amused because, well, it took a really lighter to light up the bomb inside of Selphie that contained her anger. The only time she had seen that ignite was when they were little and a boy had pushed her off the dock. Yuffie, on the other had, no trouble trying to contain her own. Her face was bright with anger and her fists were balled up at the sides of her. If Selphie hadn't had one of her hands rested on Yuffie's shoulder, she would have already been tearing out Queenie's brunette roots.
"Hey Madonna, maybe she doesn't want to wear that prostitute like clothing. What are you trying to do? Make her a walking billboard for sex?"
Queenie went silent. She moved her eyes back to Queenie and could tell she was starting to get irritated. Oh shit. Oh crap. Oh Destiny.
Her Royal Majesty began to flame more insults at Selphie, but Kairi wasn't exactly paying attention. Several pairs of high heels could be heard walking closer to Kairi and Queenie from behind. If Queenie and Yuffie weren't going at it, then the sound of the heels would have easily been drowning out their words. She slightly moved her head to the other side of her shoulder that wasn't occupied by Queenie's hand, and looked to whoever was approaching them from behind.
Four Brunettes, Five Blondes, and Two Red Heads walked in a flawless line; all stepping on the right foot and then the left foot, at the perfect timing. Their heads were held high and their arms at their sides kept in perfect place. The eleven girls all had different shades of purple mini skirts; some ruffled, some layered, some really cut low, while some type of white shirt occupied their upper body. All of their crimped and waved long hair laid perfectly in place at their sides; not daring to move as they made pace.
Kairi's jaw dropped.
Suddenly, Queenie's and Yuffie's conversation stopped. The both of the girls had finally taken notice of the others. Selphie started to sweat nervously while Yuffie kept her lips glued shut. Queenie, however had a grim looking smile on her face.
"Queenie, where were you?" One of Red heads spoke.
"I was .. taking care of business. "
"Oh. Do you need any help?"
Despite the fact the girls were behind Kairi and Queenie, the Queen took notice of the eleven girl charade but kept her eyes steadily focused on Yuffie. There was a few second silence, but finally she replied; turning around. As she did, the hand had put pressure on Kairi's own shoulder, forcing her to turn around too.
"No, it's fine. Everything is settled now."
"That's good,' One of the blondes said as a smile coiled on her lips.
"Mhm. Girls, I'd like you to meet Kairi. I'm sure you've all met at her at one time."
Actually, the fact was, Kairi didn't recognize any of these girls. They weren't the squad of girl trash. Those girls wore practically nothing and sold their body to any boy that they could. But these girls .. at least had the little decency not to do that. These were the girls who ate lunch outside in the courtyard, sat in the back of the class with whatever friends, and were rarely seen in the bathroom. Everyone called them Teen Royalty.
"Oh yes, Kairi is in my study hall."
"She helped me with my Calculus homework once."
"Of course!"
Queenie laughed stiffly.
"Well, girls, I guess we should be on our way .. Are you coming Kairi?" Queenie turned her head for the first time since she had arrived at her 'rescue' in the hallway; one eyebrow raised questioningly.
Oh no. Oh crap. What should I do? Selphie and Yuffie would be mad at her if she did. But then again, they already were. Was this the beginning of .. something else? When she was little her father had always told her to take risks and try new things. Well, was this the kind of thing he was talking about .. ?
"Yeah .. I'm coming," Kairi said hesitantly.
Queenie smiled but said nothing. The line of girls took a few steps to the side; creating an empty splice in the middle. Without saying anything, Queenie walked a few steps forward and filled a space of the empty gap. Kairi watched for a moment, and then followed their Majesty. As she filled the last space of the empty gap in the middle of the line, surrounded by Queenie and another Brunette, she felt .. well, a little more confident.
Before she had known it, the girls all turned around and she seemed to do so on cue without being told. Within seconds, they all picked up their left foot and began to walk ever so gracefully down the hall, strutting their stuff. Kairi imagined the look on Selphie and Yuffie's face as she walked in the middle of the line down the other end of the hall. But for some reason, she really didn't care ...
"Girls, introduce yourself please," Queenie said.
"I'm Cinny."
"I'm Donna."
"I'm Billie .. .." ( A/N: Yes, that's a girl. xD )
"Taylor."
"Amy.'
"Sona."
"Mariah."
"Lynette."
"Hello! I'm Ginny."
"My name is Susie."
"And I'm Leigh."
"And welcome to Teen Royalty. We have some .. rules, but you'll understand them finely I hope," said Queenie spitefully. As they were walking, Kairi turned her head slightly to look at Queenie beside her. Queenie was looking back and was smiling warmly; a side she had not shown in the bathroom. She stared blankly back at her for a second, but then grinned. This was a new beginning for the new Kairi.

How Does It Feel? - Avril Lavigne.
I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly, suddenly
"What class do you have next Kairi?"
"I have Chamber Choir. What about you?"
"I have jazz band."
Mariah huffed slightly and Kairi laughed at her dull expression. Obviously, the girl did not like jazz band by her ever so "excited" expression. Kairi wasn't too fond of Chamber Choir either, but she liked to sing so there was some excitement in it.
"I have Biology 101."
Billie made a gagging sound as the two other girls laughed. The three had separated from the others when they had taken the opposite hallway to their classes. Now, they stood almost like in a ... ... trio, as they made their way to their classes. Kairi felt somewhat uncomfortable, but at the same time as if she was almost feeling warmly accepted into this new and higher clique.
I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
I'm surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly
"Well, I'll see you later Kairi!"
"I bid you Adieu Kairi." Billie winked.
"Bye you guys," Kairi said softly as she smiled.
For a couple moments, she stood there as the other two turned and went down the other hallway. The two kind of reminded her of Yuffie and Selphie, but at the same time, they didn't. Maybe this was a feeling of guilt, but she knew she wasn't enjoying it for one thing. However, she wasn't going to apologize. She'd apologized last time so now it was Yuffie's turn to step up and be apologetic.
Sighing, Kairi took off finally towards the other hall; walking quickly as her heels made a rather annoying clicking sound every time she lifted up her feet and then set them down. I feel like a different person .. now that I'm with other girls. It's not really a bad feeling, but it defiantly is not familiar. Is this how the girls feel every day in that clique? Or maybe it's just because I'm new ... ? Well, I -- Kairi's thoughts were interrupted as she found herself at a sudden halt and looking in one of the glass cases; seeing her reflection.
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we even the same?
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?
She studied herself in the glass case reflection, and the more she did, the more she couldn't recognize herself. Her hair was at her the tips of her shoulders in a wavy form, while her face looked like a porcelain doll; so graceful and soft being covered in foundation. She was wearing a white shirt that had 'Baby Phat' in graffiti writing written on the chest while the bottom of it was just about to reveal her belly button. An extremely and yet intentionally short blue hoodie which came up to her cleavage made her top more revealing. The exact shade of blue was what the colour of her ruffled mini skirt was. Long, knee high blue soft socks that came up high graced her knees, while blue stilohuet high heels carried her feet around. Socks with high heels were a bit odd in general, but in this case it looked like it worked perfectly.
"Who .. am I?"
I'm young, and I am free
I get tired, and I get weak
I get lost, and I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly
"Kairi, is that you?"
She tore herself away from her mirror reflection instantly as she pivoted towards the direction of the voice that had graced her name. When she'd found the owner of the shocking sounded voice, her stomach suddenly felt like it had just been jabbed with a million needles. It wasn't really because of who had just seen her new image, it was because she had seen her new image. However, that feeling in her stomach usually disappeared within seconds. But this time, it wouldn't go away.
"Kairi, are you okay? You don't look so well .. .."
Kairi watched him approach her quickly, but her vision suddenly became slurred. Within moments, a feeling passed through her whole body and her knees collapsed almost as if an invisible kick had been placed in shins. Her whole body dropped on the ground and her figure laid there; unable to move. But just before she lost conscious, she heard the boy's voice speak one last time.
"I guess this "bet girl" is a lot more weak than she looks.
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?
