How long has it been? I never felt this kind of feeling for a very long time. I felt that I'm myself again.

"YOU!" Namine shouted and pointed me. I turned to her and smiled.

"How are you doing Namine?" I tried to divert the topic.

She slapped my head with a paper fan and shouted. "Wear proper uniform or else."

"Or else?" I grinned at her, while waiting for her response.

"Nothing." Namine blushed and turned away.

Everything started to feel like home. I'm completely settled in. No one was here to stab my back every time. I'm able to play sports again without Selphie holding me back. No problem, no worries.

HAKUNA MATATA!

I put on my trusted old sneakers and looked at the mirror. I flipped my hair and did a little posing at the mirror. I smiled and head my way out. Today was our monthly trip to the park as a "family".

Just before I entered middle school my father and mother went on different paths. They acted so cold to each other for many years now so they decided to date someone else and if they notice that their hearts still belong to each other then….. they still love each other. But unfortunately they didn't. They found a separate family to live with and completely abandoned us.

To make the long story short, they got divorced and went to their lovers which coincidentally have families on their own. Both of our parents can't take us with them. We, their original family were the ones left behind.

Aqua tried to support me but unfortunately that time she just started college when they got divorce. She flunked this and that due to stress. Terra, Vanitas and Ventus helped her overcome stress that I'm terribly grateful for. Then she came up with an idea of me staying at her dorm, which now I'm currently at, so we can be together unlike our parents did to us. For the financial business, they give us money every month. It was more than we need actually, not to mention it is twice that we need. But neither of us is happy. Family can never be bought by money.

I slapped my face and smiled. Why do I pity myself for? We knew that this is going to happen eventually and besides everything turned out fine so what's the problem? Ah….. yeah there is!

"Mom you're pregnant!" I said to her happily while deep inside I'm not.

She nodded to me and smiled. She rubbed my tummy and asked me to hold it too. "You two have been avoiding our calls for months. I thought we kept a promise."

My father nodded and pointed and looked at me. "I see that you revert back to your rebel self again. Why?"

I folded my arms and looked away to them. "Promises? Aren't those the one being broken?" I sighed and glared at them. "Like what you did?"

My mom trembled with fear and shock. It must been awhile ever since I spoke this way. I only created this "act" for them to see that they are wrong what they are doing. Then it became a habit and after time it became Kairi completely.

My dad supported my mom and glared back at me. "You know you're mom is pregnant." He scolded me.

I sighed and face palmed. "Mom, Dad do you hate me?" I looked at them and cried. "What is the purpose of this kind of meeting if this will happen every time. You're tearing me apart!"

Aqua showed up and calmed me down. She greeted Mom and Dad and apologize. We turned around and walked away from them. From a short distance, we sat down and get a drink.

She offered me a soda and hit my head. "I thought you hated this? Then why bother come at all."

I hold on to the soda a little tighter. "I thought there was still a way."

She laughed and cried. "No there isn't!" She continued to laugh as she lightly pat my back. "And stop being so strong it doesn't suit you. You looked like a gangster!"

I hugged her and smiled. "Then don't act like an adult. You don't look like one."

Well that was our life. Except for the faculty and our dorm mates no one else knew. I don't want anyone to pity me and I'm pretty sure Aqua thinks so too. But we're perfectly fine now. No monthly meetings from now on. We will not bother text them if it wasn't for their money. And whenever we text them we make sure that they will cry. It might not be as painful as ours but I want them to regret the thing they did.

"Kairi, let's go out on the weekend." A classmate of mine said while we are putting our shoes in the locker. I nodded and smiled. She waved goodbye and catch up with her friends. I sighed and closed my locker.

"That was the third invitation I had for this weekend." I said to myself while walking at the hallway.

"Good morning Kairi." A couple students greeted my along the hallway.

I smiled and put my bag back to place. Now I know what Sora felt whenever someone greeted him. Even though I'm friendly, I never paid attention to social status and fame. I only had a couple of friends Tidus and Wakka who are now attending all boys' school ,Selphie my best friend and Sora my childhood friend…..

"What will your vacation be like?" Roxas said to me.

It was self study and everyone was busy doing anything besides studying. Namine, Roxas and I gathered in a small circle and exchanged stories until it came to that topic.

"I'm going to visit my hometown. I miss it already." I sighed and looked out the window. I miss Selphie and I want to see our house. I wonder what it looked like now. Will I see him? Will there be a cha-

"It's only a train ride from here right?" Namine asked me with her usual monotone voice, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes. Is there something bothering you?" I asked her.

She shook her head and smiled a little. "I'm just wondering why you're boyfriend hasn't come here and beg for your forgiveness."

I trembled a little and all of the memories that happened that day flashed on my mind. I want to laugh and joked about it in front of them. But…. I can't. I guess I'm not completely moved on yet even though it has been months.

I laughed and smiled weakly. "I guess he didn't love me that much."

Namine and Roxas looked at each other and gave me a comforting smile. Roxas patted my head while Namine just smiled in the background.

"You will find someone than him." Namine said softly and smiled. I guess there are times that her frankness can match the environment.

"Just give us a call and will be there." Roxas smiled and messed my hair.

"I won't." Namine interrupted and pouted. She then smiled and looked at me. "I might punch Sora if I will see him."

"Thanks."

Speaking of him, how is he actually?

"Sora, you're girlfriend is here."

"Okay." Sora jumped out of his desk and went outside the room. "Ready to go?"

The girl with a short black hair nodded and held on to Sora's hands. She looked a lot like Kairi in many ways especially when Kairi still had a short hair, only with different partings. Could this mean that Sora completely moved on?

"How long has it been since I saw his face?" I smiled and cling to hope that there is a chance that I will see him during the holidays, that there is still a second chance with him.

[Author's Notes]

Come and hit me hurtful reviews. I rushed this because I didn't post a chapter for a very long time. And I'm working on these for almost a week now and I still can't come up with a very good story. Now the thing you see here is a makeup and go chapter. Whatever comes to mind, I typed it here! But the thing with Kairi's parents our real. It's actually part of the story.

What I meant with the make up and go chapter is that I have no dialogue in my mind but there is an actual plot on what will happen in the chapter(example I know they will bump to each other but don't know how they're conversation will be). I just don't how to put it in order that's why I just type whatever comes in my mind that I think is still related on the chapter. ANYWAY JUST READ IT AND TRY TO ENDURE MY BAD WRITING SKILLS.
