Chapter 29: Finals

It is finally the end of May, Thursday to be exact, which means we have about two weeks left of school. I was so looking to finally getting out of High School forever. But there's no point in saying that I'm done with school forever because I still have four years of college after this. This week was probably going to be the worst week of my senior year because I have finals all week long! Today, I had to take my finals. That one I hated the most because I had to take a whole freakin' test on stuff from the past.

Even though I had finals all day today, it was still going to be and okay day. I walked into school and just glanced around at everything and everyone. They looked like they were looking forward to the end of the year. I knew I was. I walked over to my locker and saw Namine talking with Roxas. I also glanced behind me and saw Selphie and Riku walking hand-in-hand. It was nice to finally see that Selphie had found a guy for her. I knew she had a thing for Riku.

" So, how're enjoying the new title as, 'Riku's girlfriend?'" I asked Selphie as I opened my locker and she went to hers.

" It's great! Oh and Riku is such a good kisser!" Selphie replied as she touched her bottom lip a bit.

" Sounds like you're really enjoying it." Namine entered the conversation. " Man, I can't wait for the end of the year! I need a vacation!" (A/N: I say that I need a vacation every day.)

" Yeah, so do I." I agreed.

" Where's Sora?" Selphie asked as we walked towards Spanish.

" He has a dentist appointment. He won't be back here until the beginning of third period."

" I just still can't believe they're making us take finals. What's so special about them anyway?" Namine asked rolling her eyes.

" They say, that they use the scores to determine whether we get into college or not." I replied. " Speaking of which, what do you guys plan on doing after High School?"

" I think I'll become an Artist. I plan on taking classes that have to do with art. What about you, Selphie?" Namine answered and then asked Selphie the same thing.

" Hmm, I really have no idea. I've always been active. Maybe I'll become one of those really active girls you see on those workout videos. Kairi?"

" I want to get a record deal and become a famous singer. But then again, I want to get married and have a few kids. If I do, I won't have any time for them. It's a hard sacrifice to make, but I'm going to skip out on singing and become a Math Teacher."

" MATH? WHY MATH? I HATE MATH!" Selphie freaked out.

" Selph, calm down. You don't have to learn it. Besides, Kairi would make a really good math teacher. Remember when you were struggling in Algebra 2 in 10th grade and she tutored you?" Namine shook Selphie.

" Yeah, I was getting a D and I got so much better that I pulled my grade up to a B. Kairi would make a good math teacher."

" Stop it, guys. You're embarrassing me." I blushed.

" We're your friends, we're supposed to embarrass you." Namine laughed as we headed off to Spanish.

We went through Spanish class and then went through the rest of the morning. I had to take an English final, which actually wasn't that hard, but I was really anxious about my History final that was coming up 5th period. Apparently, Sora didn't show up in Third period for some reason. I just went on for the rest of the first half of the day. Sora finally showed up at the end of 4th period and was able to make it to lunch with us. Sora didn't want any food, which was kind of surprising because food was his true love, well, his second true love because of me.

" Sora? Why aren't you eating?" I asked as I sat next to him.

" Oh, my jaws, teeth, and gums hurt like crap!" Sora replied rubbing his jaws.

" What'd that dentist do to you?" Namine asked.

" I got my wisdom teeth pulled out."

" All four of them?" Riku asked nearly choking on a piece of corn dog.

" All four of them." Sora replied sounding like he was suffering.

" Well, at least you got it over with." I said rubbing Sora's back. I heard someone walking behind us. It was my worst nightmare/enemy, Tifa. I didn't know what the hell she wanted.

" Hello, everyone." Tifa said rather cool as she leaned on the table "accidentally" dumping nachos on Namine's outfit. (A/N: Don't worry, she didn't scream like Sharpay did in High School Musical.) Namine did freak out a bit. Our table became like a movie because everyone was watching us. " Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Let me get that for you." Tifa then poured a cup of Pepsi all over Namine. That was it! I was sick of that son-of-a-bitch drama queen picking on us and getting away with it! Namine looked really upset and Roxas and Riku and her were trying to clean herself up.

" Look! Why don't you just leave us alone?" I yelled at her not even caring that the entire cafeteria was watching.

" Kairi, you know that ever since Jr. High, we've always been enemies. You ruined my life! And now, I'm going to ruin yours!" Tifa yelled as she cracked her knuckles.

" Actually, you're the one who's ruined my life." I said calmly. Tears began to roll down my eyes.

" Kairi?" Sora asked me hoping I was okay.

" After looking at all the times I was hurt because of you, I have figured out why you blame me so. Your father is in jail! 6 years ago, you knew I still had my dad and you didn't want me to have him in my life, so you made up a phone call saying he had an emergency and he went rushing out the door on the road in the rain and it killed him! You were the cause of my father's death! Then, in 9th grade, my friends and I were a little more popular than you were, we had more friends than you did, then you started spreading rumors saying we dissed them and we lost our friends! You just recently made me lose my job at the stables by saying that I abuse the horses just so that I couldn't raise money for insurance!" My eyes were red and puffy from the crying. Everyone was watching me and I didn't care. They thought Tifa was a great person, but they're wrong! She's a total bitch! " I lost my dad, friends, and my job because of you! All I have to say is…" I sniffled and sobbed.

" What? You too afraid to say it, crybaby?" Tifa made a teasing voice.

" I HATE YOU TIFA!!!!!!!" With that I poured my entire drink all over her. Tifa then screamed really loud. (A/N: Tifa screamed like Sharpay this time.) I felt a little better than I did when I was yelling at her. The students began to applaud for some reason, even my teachers. I always knew that my teachers knew about Tifa bullying me. I started breathing heavily. I then walked out of the cafeteria. I went into the hallway and just leaned against my locker and sobbed.

" Kairi, are you okay?" Namine asked and she put a hand on my shoulder.

" No. That son-of-a-bitch had ruined my life always!" I began to cry a bit harder.

" I know. Tifa is just an evil person. She was just always jealous of you." Selphie said.

" But she didn't have to do all of that stuff." I sniffled and wiped my tears away.

" Kairi, are you all right?" Sora and the guys came and joined me.

" Sora, she ruined everything." Sora wrapped his arms around me while I cried on his shoulder.

The bell then rang for us to go to History after lunch. It was about time I got out of that "jungle" of people. At least with History class, there won't be that much drama. Besides, we're taking a final, what kind of drama can you have when taking a final. I just walked over to my locker and grabbed the current novel I was reading and a few writing utensils before going to History. Sora came and met up with me after getting the things he needed and we walked to class together.

We walked into class and saw the rest of our friends sitting and talking about something random. I'm just glad that son-of-a-bitch Tifa wasn't in any of my classes. I dealt with her enough at lunch. My History teacher eventually shut the door to the classroom and handed out the exams. I was quite nervous about whether I'll pass it or not. I just picked up my pencil and took my test.

After school I grabbed everything and walked out of school. Tomorrow was the last day of school and we also get our yearbooks at the end of the day. We also get out of school 20 minutes early so that we could have a yearbook signing party in the Blitzball stadium. Of course, I couldn't wait to have all my friends sign my yearbook.

" Hey, Kai." Sora greeted me by my nickname.

" Oh hey!" I snapped out of mentally falling asleep. I was just full of pure exhaustion.

" You look exhausted. Wanna ride home?"

" That would be so awesome. Thanks." I got into Sora's car and began to drive off into the neighborhood. After driving for a bunch of minutes we arrived home. " Well, thanks for the ride."

" No prob." Sora said as he kissed me on the cheek. " I'll see ya."

" Bye." I said as I got out of the car.

I walked into my room, dropped my bag on the floor, scooted Buddy over a bit and then lay down on my bed. I was so freakin' tired from all of the finals I had to take. Buddy came and cuddled at the side of waist as he curled into a ball and continued with his nap. I stroked Buddy's back as I turned on InuYasha. I swear people these days look like characters from anime, video games, etc. my cell phone rang after a few minutes. I picked up to answer it.

" Hello?"

" Kai, it's Namine—"

"—And Selphie!" I could tell that the three of us were on a three-way call.

" Guess what!" They both asked.

" I got accepted into Twilight Town University with Roxas—"

"--And Riku and I got accepted into Radiant Garden University!"

" That's cool." I sounded a bit gloomy.

" Sorry that you'll be left here alone." Namine said.

" It's okay. I'm glad you guys got accepted. You worked hard for that college. I wouldn't want you to give it up just for me, it's not right."

" Thanks, Kai." Selphie said.

" But I know you for sure won't be lonely when in college!" Namine said with excitement.

" Why?"

" Did I ever tell you that I have a twin cousin!"

" How's that possible?" Selphie asked on the other line.

" My cousin and I have the same birthday. Anyway, my twin cousin, Kagome, got accepted into Destiny Islands University, and I told her about you and how you're going to be lonely and all that, so she's moving in with you in the same dorm!"

" Namine, you are awesome!" I jumped for joy.

" And, her boyfriend is gonna go to the same university. I think his name is…Inuyasha." Namine added.

" Doesn't Kagome and Inuyasha look like the same people form the TV show?" Selphie asked. " You showed me a picture of them."

" Yeah, they do. Inuyasha still has silver hair, but he doesn't have dog ears."

" Too bad. It would've been nice to meet a half dog-demon half human person." I groaned. " Anyway, talk to ya later! Bye!" I said as I hung up the phone. My friends may be leaving, but at least I'll be hanging out with Namine's cousin. I unmated my TV and continued watching InuYasha.
