Heavenly Sky
Chapter 2
Lani went to the rest of her classes like Maths, English and History. She walked into the lunch hall and saw her friends sitting at a whole table. She walked up to the table and her friends turned to her with smiles. Just as she was going to sit down at a seat, Kairi took it and sat down.
"Oh my gosh, thanks Lani!" She said and the brown haired teen growled whilst Selphie, Gretchen and Regina laughed.
'These bitches!' The girl thought. She sighed and turned around. The blue eyed girl then exited the hall with Riku staring at her saddened. Sora and Roxas glared at Kairi.
"You are such a bitch, Kairi." Sora stated.
"You know well that she was gonna sit down. Always love seeking attention." Roxas added. Lani's brother and twin stood up.
"Roxas, Sora, where are you going?" Selphie asked.
"Family always stick out for each other." They answered.
"I'm going with them." Cloud said with Leon by his side.
"Me too." Olette stated and Namine and Xion stood up too.
"I'm going as well." Axel said and they all left.
Lani sat against a tree and was reading a book to clear her mind. But she really loved reading since she was a little child. Even when she couldn't read, her parents and older brother would read to her. She was currently reading The Great Gatsby.
"Lani!" She heard her friends and put her book down. They ran up to her with and she smiled at them with a sigh; what awesome friends she had. They saw down with her and grinned. But deep inside she was sad not seeing Riku there. They all hugged her and she hugged them back. The group of friends had lunch together and how excited they were about tomorrow.
"I'm so happy! 2 weeks off and then the 2 week after are the last for high school." Olette stated.
"And then there's the party tomorrow. Are we all going?" Axel asked and most of them said yes. Lani just looked down and stayed quiet. They all turned to her and stared.
"Aw c'mon Lani!" Xion exclaimed.
"There's so much revision I need to do." She answered.
"But you don't need revision! You're smart anyway." Axel stated.
"I want to get top marks if I wanna get into one of the top universities." Lani said.
"Lani, Mom is okay with us going. Let's just go, okay?" Sora pouted and she sighed; she couldn't refuse her twin brother. She sighed with defeat and nodded. They all cheered and clapped and she rolled her eyes whilst laughing. The bell rang and they all stood up whilst stretching.
"What do we have next?" Xion asked.
"Art!" Namine exclaimed excitedly which was so cute!
"Psychology." Sora answered and some of them sighed. Samantha however grinned.
"Yes!" She exclaimed and they laughed.
The group of friends walked to their class and went inside. The class were standing around in the desk and there was a paper on the table.
"What's going on?" She asked.
Riku picked up the paper and started reading out.
"Dear class, I apologise for being absent. I had a family emergency and I don't know for how long I will be absent. But I trust that all of you will study hard. There are books in the cupboards for some practise exam questions." He read out the paper.
"Omg yes!" Kairi, Selphie, Gretchen and Regina started high fiving whilst giggling and jumping around excitedly. "Let's go!"
Nearly all of the students started walking out of the room and they turned when they heard something. Lani took out her book, pencil case and sticky notes. She put her bag on the floor and walked over to the cupboards. She took out 3 bulky textbooks and walked back to her seat. She went back to get more textbooks and went back and forth.
"What are you doing, Lani?" Riku asked.
"I'm revising. Unlike some people in this class, I want to do the right thing and revise. This isn't just for me, it's for Miss Clark." She answered. "Now whoever wants to stay over and revise with me can stay. But I will be in charge."
Roxas, Sora, Cloud, Xion and 5 students decided to stay. The others left quickly.
"C'mon Riku, let's go!" Kairi exclaimed with excitement.
Just as Riku was about to walk away, Lani grabbed his wrist. He turned around and looked at her.
"Riku, c'mon, you can't leave." She stated.
"Well tough, he is." Selphie smirked and they dragged him away. She sighed as he walked away; she turned around and walked to the table. She sat down next to Cloud.
They started to revise and practise some exam questions. They talked about the structure of essays as well as the content. They asked each other their weaknesses and worked on them whilst helping each other. 1 hour later they were finished.
"Alright great job everyone! Have a great holiday." Lani said and they all left the school after saying goodbye.
Sora, Lani and Roxas walked home together. The brown haired teen cuddled her older cousin and he left.
When the twins got home, they saw their mother with a suitcase.
"Mom, you're leaving already?" Sora asked. She smiled at them and placed her hands on their heads.
"I'll be back in a week, you two. I'll try and call every day. Now, you take care of your brother and grandma and grandpa now." She said and Lani nodded.
"I will!" She grinned.
"Now both of you behave." Sara said seriously and Vanitas walked down the stairs and met up with his siblings and mother.
"Mom, you should be saying that to Lani, she's the troublemaker." Sora stated and the said girl's jaw dropped. She grinded her teeth together and punched his arm so hard. "OW!" He cried.
"Shut up, goody huge shoes!" She shouted and Sara laughed at this. Vanitas smirked at this as he watched his youngest sibling scold his younger brother.
"Mom!" Sora cried and Vanitas snickered.
"I don't know what you're laughing about, they're your problem now." Sara said smugly. "Alright kids, I'll see you soon." She gave all her kids huge kisses on the cheeks which Sora was embarrassed about, Vanitas hated because he was too old for it and Lani loved. She took her suitcases and left in a taxi.
"Vanitas, guess what?! Lani's going to the island party tomorrow!" Sora exclaimed excitedly and she huffed.
"Shut up, big mouth!" Lani growled.
"Haha! What you gonna wear, jeans and converses?" Vanitas asked and he and his brother laughed. She pouted and growled at this. The brown haired girl then punched both of her brothers so hard and when she saw her grandmother come in she acted innocent.
"Stop it!" She whined but their jaws dropped to the ground. She turned to her grandmother. "Grandma, make them stop!"
"Stop teasing your sister!" She stated and the 2 boys looked at each other. "Vanitas, why don't you call your fiancée and ask her to go shopping with your sister to help her pick an outfit for the party?" Lani however turned to her grandmother with a weirded out face.
"I'm on it, grandma." He said and called up his fiancée.
"How did you even hear our conversation? Is that super hearing aid or something?" She joked with a smirk and her grandmother flicked her forehead. "Ouch!"
"She said she's coming in an hour." Vanitas said after a quick chat with his girlfriend.
"Alright, both of you go up and freshen up." Jane stated and they nodded.
Lani and Sora ran upstairs and went to their own rooms. She took a quick 20-minute shower and then got changed. She wore an orange halter top, blue jean shorts and white trainers. She brushed her hair and tied it into a low ponytail with strands of hair left out.
Lani went downstairs and the aroma of fresh cake beckoned her into the kitchen.
"Mmmmm, that smells so good!" She exclaimed as she saw Jane cutting some freshly made Angel Cake. "Grandma, where's Grandpa?" She asked curiously.
"He's out in the garden. Here, take both of you have cake and lemonade. I'll join you in a while." She smiled and her granddaughter took the tray and went outside into the garden. It was a big garden with many flowers, vegetable plants, trees and even a cherry blossom tree. There was also a big empty space in the middle.
Lani placed the tray on the garden table and saw her grandfather standing up, cracking his back whilst wiping a bead of sweat off his forehead.
"Grandpa!" She called out and he turned around. He had white hair and blue eyes; a blue which was like Lani's eyes. The happiness filled his eyes as he smiled when he saw his only granddaughter.
"My sunshine!" He exclaimed and walked over to her. She hugged him and he kissed her forehead. "How are you my lovely?"
"I'm alright, Grandpa. How are you?" He pulled away from her with his hands on her shoulder.
"If you are alright, I am alright." He stated and she smiled at him.
"How was school?" He asked curiously.
"It was okay. But Mr Vexen still bullies me." She growled and he grandmother sat with them.
"Oh, does he still think you're like Vanitas, honey?" Jane asked.
"Yeah, but I'm nothing like him." Samantha stated. Her grandmother and grandfather looked at each other whilst smiling.
"You are slightly like him. The smirk and mischief you come up with is exactly like his. But you're completely like your grandfather when he was your age, and like me as well." Her grandmother explained.
"Then who do I look like?" She asked.
"Your grandmother when she was younger. But your eyes, when I look into them I see the heavenly sky." Isaac stated with a smile and his granddaughter blushed.
"So you're telling me when I'm like 90 I'll look like grandma." Her grandfather could not stop laughing at that and Jane growled.
"Hey, that's not funny!" She exclaimed.
"You may be old, but you're still beautiful, sweetie." Isaac sighed and Jane couldn't help but blush and fluttered her eyelashes. Lani sighed at this; she wished for a relationship just like this.
