Well, yeah anyway here it is! And sorry about the whole chapter 4-chapter 6 thing, I apologize! I was editing the chapters and got the files mixed up but here is the actual Chapter 6 now!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the Kingdom Hearts Characters.
I sigh as I look down at the paper in front of me. It was classwork we had to do for Spanish from the textbook. I was almost done, just writing down the final answer. I finish, close my book, my eyes, and then sigh from relief. I glance at the clock across the room and it's about 4 minutes until the bell rings. 4 minutes can take some time.
I sigh again and I make a mental note to myself to do that less. I take a glance at Sora who was just talking to his friends with his traditional cheeky grin. I turn back and start packing all my stuff together. I look at the clock again and it's still 2 and a half minutes until it rings.
I look around me and see other people talking to each other again. I don't really talk to anyone in the class, not like I didn't have any friends here, just not any I could really make conversation with and it wouldn't be awkward. As I was looking around, I thought I saw Sora give me a quick side glance but I brushed it off as my imagination.
I started doodling on my binder and writing random things and drawing stars. This helped to pass time and the bell finally rang. I dashed outside the door before anyone else and went straight for my locker.
I finished putting my extra things away, took a final look at my locker, then closed it and spun the dial a little. I walk down the hall to see if Xion is still at her locker and she isn't I just continue to walk out the door to the outside. I breathe in the fresh air and smile a little. I keep walking as I see Xion waiting for me with Roxas. I give them a small wave and they wave back gesturing me to hurry up. I start walking a bit faster when suddenly Riku shows up next to me. We continue but I still ask Riku what he was doing.
"What? You forgot I was coming with you guys today didn't you?" Oops.
"Heh, I guess I did. Sorry!" I reply giving him a sheepish smile.
"Awwh, I'm hurt Kairi! You forgot about little ol'Riku!" He fakes a gagging sound and I just chuckle at him.
"Oh please, how could I forget you? You're one of my best friends! And you have weird silver hair when you're only 17." I say teasing him.
"Hey! I make it work don't I?" He flashes a quick pose as I continue laughing at him. "And you're pretty short for someone who's turning 16 in a about a month!"
"Whatever Riku. I'm still smarter than you! I didn't have to repeat my sophomore year!" I say as we finally reached Roxas and Xion. "Sorry guys, I forgot to mention this lug here wanted to tag along today."
"I was being lazy that year, I'm still very smart! And I'm not a lug!" Riku says. Roxas and Xion just laugh. We all start walking to Xion and I's apartment.
"Roxas, I know you live close to me and Xion but it's still a 15 minute walk from our place to yours! You don't have to come every day with us you know. I don't want you getting annoyed or in trouble." I tell him.
"Oh please, I'd rather come to your place than mine. You guys are my best friends!" He says putting one arm around my shoulder and another around Xion's. I think she blushed a little. "And I won't get in trouble, don't worry about it."
"Wow Roxas, since when did you become a ladies man?" Riku joked.
"Pshh! Nonsense. I'm not a ladies man, but I could be any day if I wanted to." He says sticking a tongue out at him. He takes his arm off of Xion and points a finger at Riku too. Xion then starts talking to Riku and I smile, I'd love to see them get together this year.
"So when are you going to go home Roxas?" I ask.
"Hmm. When I feel like it I guess." He says putting a finger to his chin thinking. I just chuckle at his careless attitude.
Eventually we reach the apartment and just start hanging out, we even did a little bit of our homework. "Ohkay guys, I'll get the popcorn." I walk into the kitchen getting out the microwavable bag and placing it inside the microwave. "Kay..popcorn." I press the button pre-set to heat up the movie treat and Beep. Kay, now I just have to wait 2 and a half minutes. "So...Kairi." Huh? I turn around to see Riku is in the kitchen too.
"You know, you and Roxas are pretty cute." He smirks at me.
"Oh please. What are you bringing that up for?" I say asking. I'm pretty sure he knows Xion likes Roxas and that I don't.
"When we were walking home, he had his arm around you for a while. Is there something going on with you guys?" He tries to hint at something.
"Riku!"
"What? I'm just saying!" He starts to lean back on the counter still looking at me. I roll my eyes and look at the timer. Still a minute and a half.
"Roxas and I are best friends. Nothing more nor less. You should know that." I tell him still looking at the timer. A minute and 10 seconds...
"Well, I mean you guys are both single now..." I turn my head to give him a death glare. "I'm just kidding!" He puts his hands up and gives me one of those shy 'I'm kidding!' kind of smiles. "I know you guys aren't like that. It was just weird seeing his arm around you for so long. It just reminded me of when you guys were together. I'm actually surprised he and Namine broke up. Now she's with Sora? Damn."
I look down. "Yeah.." BEEP BEEP. I open the microwave door and take out the popcorn and start walking into the living room. I could tell Riku was giving me a weird look but I tried to ignore it. We watched a movie together and it ended around 6. We all just started to relax on the futon and talk.
"So, why do you and Xion live in an apartment alone again?" Riku asked.
"Well, I didn't like living with my parents. They were really annoying and just didn't understand me. They were pretty bad parents too. They would do all these things that just made me angry and didn't care for me much so I decided to move here. I knew it probably wouldn't work out and I'd have to get a job but then Xion didn't want me to be alone so she asked her parents about it and they said she could live with me. They send up money every month to pay for our expenses too. They're really nice." I say smiling at the last sentence remembering how understanding they were. "We both still work occasionally though."
"Well, where are both of your parents then?"
"Mine moved to Radiant Garden. They stay in that big part of the city, Hollow Bastion. Xion's parents like traveling to places so they're not really planted somewhere." I explain.
"Oh. I see. You guys are pretty lucky then. Plus you actually can stand each other and not end up trying to kill each other!" He said laughing. We all laugh along with him when Xion notices the clock.
"Hey Riku, didn't you say you need to be home by 6:30?" Xion asks.
"Yeah, why?"
"Because it's 6:15 and I mean your house is kinda further than Roxas' so it'd probably take you like 30 minutes to walk." She says.
"I called a friend. He should be here soon." We all hear a horn honk and turn to the window. "Oh that's him. Wow, what cliche timing. Like in those movies. Well then, bye guys!" He gives Xion a quick hug and then dashes out the front door. I saw her blush and look away. I smile and shake my head. Oh gosh. Those two are just waiting to happen.
"Hey Roxas, I need to ask you something!"
"Hmm what? Yeah sure." He says turning his head away from the door.
"You wanna go to Twilight Town this Saturday? Olette, Hayner and Pence wanted me to invite you. I'm going too but they miss you, ya know?" I ask him.
He looks down almost like he felt guilty. "Yeah, I do too. Man, I never even tried to talk to them! I'm sucha jerk."
"Hey come on! No use being down about the past! Just try to hang out with them now! Especially at lunch you know? And at Twilight Town! It'll be a lot of fun." I say smiling at him trying to cheer him up.
He smiles a little and then nods his head closing his eyes. "Yeah. I'll go." He looks up and smiles at me. I smile back. "But what about Xion?" He turns to look at her.
"What?" She looks back at him puzzled.
"What are you gonna do Saturday then?" He asks.
"I know! She can hang out with Riku!" I say smiling.
"Wha..?" She looks even more confused now.
"Yup! End of discussion! I mean come on, Xion and Riku are good friends! They can hang out and catch up too! Now it's settled. Ohkay Roxas, it's time for you to go home now! Bye!" I say pushing him out the door.
"Uhh..ohkay? Bye!" He says as he stumbles outside the door.
"Wow. What a day right Xion?" She stills looks at me a bit lost. "Yeah, well I'm gonna do the rest of my homework now. See ya!" I tell her walking into my room closing the door.
"Say Kairiā¦"
"Hmm?" I take out one of the earphones from my ear and turn to look at her.
"Why, why did you set me and Riku up this Saturday while you, Roxas, Olette, Hayner, and Pence go to Twilight Town?" She asks me.
I just chuckle and turn to look forward. "Do you mind? I just wanted to make sure you weren't bored or alone Saturday since Roxas and I are going somewhere with others. Besides, it wouldn't be bad to spend some alone time with Riku, would it?" I give her a quick glance to see she looked away from her with her chin up.
"Hmph." She crosses her arms and continues. "Kairi, I don't like Riku, and I seriously doubt that Riku likes me." I shake my head at the short-black haired girl. She could be so oblivious to people's feelings, including her own. Oddly, it only was with crushes, she could easily tell how people were feeling otherwise.
"It's not like I made you guys go eat at some fancy restaurant. I just said you're gonna hang out with him. He's our friend, Xion. It's not like it's bad to hang out with him." I teased her.
"Yeah, yeah. I bet you wish we were going on a date or something." She finally puts her arms down and is back in her usual mood with her usual smile.
I bet soon you will be too.
"So, your parents are alright with you guys sleeping on a train?" I ask the group. I felt like it was a bit weird for parents to allow kids to do that.
"Well, I mean, mine don't really care as long as I'm not doing something stupid." Hayner replied.
"Mine either." Said Pence.
Roxas just shrugged at me. It's Saturday morning and we've been at the train station for a while, since Friday night actually. It's about 2:55 a.m.
"Mine think the train ride won't be that long and that I could get a hotel after we get off. So they gave me some extra cash! But we're actually going to arrive in Twilight Town around ten a.m. and then have to board the train again around ten at night." Olette explained to us.
"So how long is the train ride exactly?" Roxas questioned.
"About 7 hours." Olette answered. "That's why we had to hang out here at 11 and wait until 3."
"Man, I'm tired!" Pence said stretching his arms.
"Me too. Hey, look! There's the train!" He gets excited pointing his finger at the incoming train and just jumping up and down waiting for it to unload so we can board.
We all get seated into comfortable positions so we could sleep if we wanted to. "So, I set my watch to wake us up about 5 minutes before we have to get off. Hopefully we all have had enough sleep by then." Says Pence smiling as he gets ready to fall asleep.
"Gosh, this trip is going to be so fun!" Olette stated.
"Yeah, especially since all five of us are here." Hayner said smiling. I smile along. Olette, Hayner, Pence, me and Roxas. All five of us.
"Of course, all of us." Roxas agrees as he smiles too.
So, just in case you're wondering, even though you're probably not.. xD When Hayner says all of us, he means the whole gang, which includes him, Olette, Pence, Roxas and Kairi because that's who the Twilight Town gang are good friends with. At least in this story xD
Btw, I'm thinking of changing the summary. Any suggestions or comments? I might change it to this but I don't know if I should.
Time passes quickly. "I feel like so much has happened this year and at the same time, as if not much has happened at all. But through it all, I'm glad you're here with me, as well as everyone else too. You've all helped me realize what I needed to."
For the first sentence, -Time passes quickly- I felt like the summary needed something else and I wanted to put that in there. Well, what do you think? I don't know if I should change the summary blehh.
Thanks so much for reading and I hope you guys review! Feel free to write your opinions and what not so I know what you guys think! xP So yeah..REVIEW. [:
