I woke up and look at the mirror. I brushed my hair up and put up a flashing smile. I put on my pants and shirt and took my bag. I hurriedly went downstairs and threw my bag at the sofa. My mom yelled at me and said that I should be careful. I smiled and shrugged it off. I took my plate out of the table and ate at front of the t.v as always. My mom looked at me and smiled.
"You never changed Sora." My mom said totally giving up on my morning habit.
"I can't help it." I said with my mouth full. "I'm used to it."
"I heard that Kairi was your classmate again." My mom said, echoing across the kitchen.
I stopped eating and finished the food on my mouth. "Yeah. Is there something wrong Mom?"
"What are you going to do now?" She said while washing the dishes.
You really can't hide things from your mom. They know you better than yourself. But thanks to her, I realized the real problem here. What am I supposed to do? Where do we stand?
"Class Rep!" I greeted her upon entering the classroom. She was wearing her uniform as usual, folded sleeves and jacket wrapped around her waist. And to add to her style, she sat with crossed legs. If Selphie could see her now!
"Be lady-like Kairi!" I said to my mind mimicking Selphie.
She looked at me, confused. She must've noticed that I'm daydreaming and laughing by myself.
"Yes?" Kairi replied to my greeting earlier.
I almost fall down on my seat seeing how slow her mind is. I laughed while she hit me on the head.
"Don't go laughing at someone in front of you!" She pouted and carried on doing her things.
"Why did she change anyway?" I asked to myself as I look at my classmates. Her confident smile and her boyish stature flash to my mind.
How can someone change so drastically?
Kairi moved at our town when we were 9. She was a center of attention. She's cute and lively. She already befriended everyone just by a day. That's why everyone loved her.
"Tidus, Wakka I want to join on your ball game!" Kairi said and demanded.
"We can't."
"This is not a game for girls." Tidus added to Wakka's response.
Kairi stomped her feet and walked away. After a few minutes later she brought a ball and played with Selphie. They kicked the ball back and forth and tried to make combos for a very long time. Their voices caught everyone's attention at the beach. When she noticed Wakka and Tidus were looking also, she glared at them and sticks her tongue out.
But then…..
A bunch of boys went to our room and gathered around Kairi's seat. "Kairi let's play football (soccer)!" One of them said.
Kairi put down her pen and looked at them while tucking her hair behind her ear. "I can't. Not today, I guess." She said.
Her friends left the room, disappointed. Not because of her response but because she changed. She sat normally and HAD MAKE-UP. How can a middle schooler have these kinds of things? It was very shocking. Some of our teacher reacted while some said that it suits her.
Are they blind?
Who needs make-up if it doesn't suits you? I know she's cute and all when she applies lipstick and blush on but still Kairi is Kairi and THIS IS NOT KAIRI. I don't want her to be like this.
"You seem to be very popular at our school." I said to her during our lunch break.
"Why?" She asked and grinned. "Are you jealous?" She added to her amusement.
"It's just a little bit surprising." I said while I leaned at my chair. "You're not sociable when we were in middle school."
She stopped eating and looked like I stepped on a mine field. She didn't reply and she kept silent for a couple of minutes.
"Kairi why don't we hang out this weekend." One of our classmates said. "Every girl in our class will come." She added pointing on Sora's fan girls.
Kairi gulped and held on her bag tighter. "Everyone?"
"Yep! Everyone!" The girl smiled and said. "Be sure to come okay. See you there." Our classmate waved and turned around
Kairi looked at her back and tried to imagine her weekend with Sora's fan girls. She can't picture any smiles and laughs. She can only picture a weekend full of torture. Hair plucking, hair raising and ear deafening weekend.
"I can't go." Kairi shouted so loud that everyone can hear it.
Our classmate then turned around and looked at Kairi. "Why?"
Kairi avoided eye-contact and looked down. "I just can't" Kairi said and rushed off.
SHE THINKS THAT WE'RE NOT COOL ENOUGH. SHE ONLY WANTS SORA AS HER COMPANY. LEAVE HER BE. WHY BOTHER ASKING SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE US?
She heard Sora's fan girls said to our classmates. Those words cause everyone to talk about it. They began to hate Kairi. Those rumors and beliefs didn't fade and it actually worsens when Kairi started to ignore them completely. They started to think Sora's fan girls' words were true and they started to ignore her as well.
"Kairi!" Three synchronized voiced greeted from behind. Kairi turned around and saw the three idiots, the ones who challenged her in soccer and punched her in the face.
"Three Idiots, you guys are here!" Kairi exclaimed and approached them. I followed her and looked at them.
"Who's he?" One of the three idiots said and looked at me.
"Sora." She briefly answered. I gulped and prepared for the things they will say. I don't know what kind of bad things she said to them.
"Is that the best friend of yours?" They said while thinking.
She snapped her finger and patted them on the head. "Bingo. Good Dogs!"
She didn't say anything? Not a single word? They didn't know about the accident and how we broke up? Do they even know we used to be a couple?
"Fans Club of yours?" I said and pointed to the three.
"No!" They all shouted in unison.
The three felt chills on their spine and looked at Kairi. "We will never ever look at her like that!"
"She's an amazona!" One of them even added.
"YOU GUYS WILL SEE HELL!" She said as she readied her fist and looked at them with stone cold gaze.
The three laughed and waved goodbye. "See you later Kairi. Take Care."
Kairi sighed and massaged her shoulders. "Those guys are lucky."
"I thought you didn't know anyone here at our school."
"I did. I didn't know and I didn't ask them if they will study here. We're not that close."
"Those aren't classmates of yours?" I asked her pointed the path the three just took.
"Nope." She stretched and shook her head. "They're only a part of the student council. I only see them during meetings."
I wowed and clapped. "You? A member of THE student council?"
She pouted and crossed her arms. "For Your Information I'm the secretary of the student council for two years." She said proudly.
I laughed and fell on the floor. "What kind of magic did you use?"
"At least I have a productive middle school life. How about you? Aren't you famous among girls?" She said, slightly irritated.
My smile faded and avoided eye contact. She noticed and leaned to me a little bit closer. "That was then." I said in a hushed tone.
"Now that we think about it I haven't seen your fan girls here." She said and placed her hand below her chin.
"Fan girls?"
"The one, who always squealed, cheered and greeted you." She said and pointed her finger on my face.
"They started hating me after I dated them." I said.
She blinked and put on an expressionless face. Her mouth was open wide and her eyes were almost dilated. I snapped my finger and tried to regain her senses. I even tried calling her AMAZONA. But she's still shocked.
Then after a few minutes, she released a deep breath and shouted. "I know that you dated someone after me but ALL OF THEM? What happened? ARE YOU BLIND?" She said, still comprehending the things I said.
That's why I don't want to talk to you. I don't have the guts to face you.
"Not just them." I said and gulped.
"What do you mean not just them?" She said while she clutched her head.
"I dated 24 girls after you." I finally said it. How will she see me now?
[Author's Notes]
Sorry for not putting up a NEXT UP last chapter. I forgot to put one. I was busy that time.

Well this is one of the twists I plotted gihihihi. AND THERE'S MORE. (BRACE YOURSELF)
I hope you didn't get swept away. :3
