Thursday, 20th Day

As you might be able to see, I haven't gotten used to the idea of a diary yet. I'm going to have to try very hard if I'm going to get into the habit of writing in it every day. I'm often very bad of getting in and out of habits; I still haven't stopped biting my finger nails!

Today is the 20th day of the last summer month. That means that school is starting in ten more days. It's so weird… It's going to be the first year of school I start without my two best friends. We had always planned to go all the way through secondary school together; even though Riku was always ahead of us, he said he would do work around the island and wait for us to finish. We never planned any farther than the end of secondary school because well…I guess we just caught up in living the moment at the time. It seems like most of the plans that we made will never go through anyways.

10th Year is going to be so weird without them. I'm going to have to adjust and change so much this year; different friends, more homework, more pressure, and I've even grown out of most of my clothes! At least Selphie has offered to come shopping with me. She says that she knows all of the best fashion stores, and she says that they are all around the uniform store. Maybe I'll hang out with her, Wakka, and Tidus this year; I've never really been close to any of the other kids in our class, and they've never really seemed to want to get to know me either.

I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking in a dream, and I don't know what's real and what's not. Lately I've started to zone out and tune everything around me out, and I find myself completely different from where I thought I was. I usually end up in the secret place where we used to go all the time. I find myself constantly drawn to where we drew the pictures of each other. I wonder if this means anything… I guess only time will tell.

Sincerely,

Kairi
