Day 4

I woke up in the secret place. Clothes damp from tears, and I was freezing cold! I ran home for some hot chocolate or something. I walked in.

"Where have you been? I was worried sick! You weren't at Riku's place were you?!" My mom screamed.

"Why must you jump to conclusions all the time!? I HATE YOU!" I screamed and stormed up the stairs.

"You were at his house weren't you? Go to your room!" She replied.

"I'm already in my room! And for your information, I fell asleep crying at the secret place!" I yelled down the stairs.

"Oh." She replied, realizing her mistake. I lay down on my bed.

She's so frustrating! I should call Sora.

I picked up the phone.

Wait! He's mad at me.

"ERRR!" I yelled. I listened to my music then. My mom came in about half an hour later.

"What's troubling you honey? Lately you've been coming home late, not eating, and going straight to your room. What's gotten into you?" Mom asked.

Like I was going to tell her!

"I don't wanna talk about it." I replied.

"You've changed so much honey. You're beginning to make me worry. As long as nothing's wrong…" She said.

"But everything's wrong! Sora won't talk to me. Riku is being mean again! Selphie won't hang out with me because she's always with Tidus! And Wakka's just scary!" I exclaimed.

"Wakka being scary is normal isn't it?" Mom said.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Why isn't Sora talking to you?" She asked me.

"Long, long story." I replied.

"All right. Stay strong honey. I have to go do laundry." Mom said as she walked out the door.

I should call Selphie

I called her then.

We talked for 3 hours! My ear hurts

Ding-dong!

There's the doorbell! Maybe it's Sora!

"I'll get it!" I ran toward the door. I opened it up and I frowned.

"Hi Tidus." I said.

"Why the long face?" He asked.

"It's nothing." I said.

"You can't go swimming with me if you're frowning!" He said.

"I'll get my bathing suit on!" I exclaimed. "You wait there." I pointed to our couch.

He sat down. As I changed, I heard my mom offer him cookies. Everyone knows how bad my mom's cookies are. I heard him refuse a couple times. Mom's so pushy! I grabbed a towel and ran downstairs.

"He'll get cramps if he eats before swimming." I said. We ran away as fast as we could.

"Thanks for getting me out of that one." He thanked. We kept running and we got to the beach. Selphie was waiting there. I sighed as Tidus ran to her.

"I thought you left on vacation!" He exclaimed while running towards her.

Vacation! She never told me! Where could she go? We live on a beach!

I walked back towards my house.

"Hey, where are you going?" Tidus asked.

"Home." I said.

"Why?!" He called after me. I just sighed and kept walking.

"Riku's over there if you're wondering," Tidus said. He pointed toward the shack. I ran over there.

"I knew that would cheer her up." He said to Selphie. Selphie giggled. I opened the door. Riku was lying on the ground, looking at the ceiling.

"Hey Riku, what's up?" I asked. I lay down beside him.

"What's up? What's up!? You sneaking off last night is what's up!" He yelled.

"Sorry for being friendly!" I yelled and slammed the door. Riku ran out.

"Sorry." He said. "That's ok…I guess." I replied.

"Where were you after you went to calm Sora?" He asked.

"I was crying in the secret place. I fell asleep there." I replied.

"Why were you crying?" He asked.

"Sora won't talk to me. He is all mad because he's not like you, and I like you!" I exclaimed.

"Y-you do?" He asked.

"Yes…" He looked at me with such a strange look. One he's never given me before. Then he leaned in to kiss me. I backed off. He fell in the sand and I laughed hysterically.

"Woa there buddy, let's wait a while for that kind of thing." I said. He looked so embarrassed. It was funny. I ran home skipping along the road.

Today Riku tried to kiss me, can you say awk-ward?
