Childhood part 2

"Hey!" she shrieked as water colors splashed onto her from the other painter. Namine was now in the second grade. She looked at the same, only taller and a few years older. The young blonde no longer put any type of accessory in her hair. In the morning, she'd brush it with water, and let it fall to the side as it always did, looking soft, neat, and clean.

"Ha Ha," smirked evilly the kid next to her. It was none other than Seifer.

"Why did you throw paint on me?" she asked wiping it off herself.

"You need colors. You only wear white." His grin grew bigger. It was true Namine did wear white. In fact, today she wore a white tank top with grayish looking skinny jeans, aqua colored sandals with yellow stars and a silver chained necklace with a paopu fruit hanging. But now her perfectly white top was re-designed by little splotches of pink, orange, blue, yellow and green.

"Now you look rainbow," he laughed and walked away.

Namine glared at him. She hated Seifer. He always teased her since that first day she meant him. Thankfully the bell rang for lunch not too long after. The blonde girl cleaned up her messy water colors and put away her project before meeting everyone outside. She grabbed her lunch box from the classrooms basket and followed the others out.

The lunch room was packed by the time she entered a dull gym with tables folding out of the walls. The floor just normal oak, at least they brought some life to the colorless walls. On top of that, it was loud, too loud for Namine's liking. She was one of the quiet and shy girls of her grade and one of the most creative. Out of the mists of voices, the blonde was able to pick out her name from a voice she was so happy to hear.

"Namine!" called a girl from one of the tables in the back. The female calling to her wear dark blue cuffed jeans, black rocketdogs with rainbow laces, and a pink tank top. Her short amber was tied up in a ponytail and her hands decorated with black and purple bracelets. It was known other than her best friend Kairi. Smiling from ear to ear, she dashed towards the tables with saved seats.

"Hi Kairi," she sat down as Kairi bit into a piece of pizza.

"Hey," She mumbled with food in her mouth and swallowed, "Did you bring quarters?"

"Yeah! Three dollars' worth so that's…." She counted, "Twelve." Namine smiled proudly.

"Sweet, I have…."The red haired girl reached into her pocket and picked change. Kairi and Nmaine pushed their lunches aside and laid out the money as Kairi counted. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5-"it continued.

"Fourteen!" she shouted in excitement.

"Wow you can get seven stickers!" the blonde giggled happily. Namine and Kairi loved to collect the stickers out of the vending machines filled with them. In a way they were like trading cards. Many others collected to, and they'd all trade. How this worked is, you'd buy a sticker, opened it up from the white, thin card board folder, take the sticker off and place it on one of the cards of card board, and tada, you get a trading card. (I actually did this in 2nd to 4th grade. It was a hit. We did the same thing with pencils and sketchbooks that cost like a quarter. The sketchbooks sadly only had like 20 pages in them.)

The girls left the lunch room for a short moment leaving their things and headed straight for the stickers. Within moments, they spent six dollars and fifty cents and made way back to the table.

"I got a Skull, a smiley face, a cheery blossom, another skull but chibi style with a bow, a moon, a rainbow looking fish, and a dragon!" squealed Kairi happily as they swiftly added to their collection.

"I got a nighttime one, ice cream, the same chibi skull, a unicorn, one of those happy bunnies, and a Paopu fruit!" Namine was glowing in glee when she saw her last one.

"Whoa, really?" Kairi looked over, "Sweet! You're so lucky! So many people will want to trade for that one!"

"I know right, but I'm not trading it," they happily went back to lunch.

"To bad Sora and Roxas don't go to school here…" Kairi sighed sadly, causing Namine to as well.

"I miss them."Namine added.

"Me to." The rest of lunch was in silence.

"Mommy, can I call Roxas, Kairi, Sora, and Riku for a sleepover?" Namine begged.

"Namine that's a lot of people, you know." Her mother continued to scrub the dirty dishes. "Please Mommy. Me and Kairi miss Roxas and Sora and Riku. "She pouted. "Please!"

Her mother sighed and stayed silence for the next couple of minutes in thought. It was true she hadn't seen her guy friends in a while. She finished the dishes and shook off her wet hands.

"Alright, why not?" The pink haired mother smiled happily and let out a chuckle. The blonde girl cheered and ran over the house phone and dialed in Kairi's number.

"Hi Kairi! Wanna have a sleepover!" it was a go for Kairi.

"Roxas, someone wants to talk to you!" yelled a mother from across the room towards her son and his cousin playing Pokemon.

"Who is it?" the now older blonde questioned as he stared at the screen.

"Namine Caelum." His mother grinned devilishly. She knew somehow, young as he was, her baby boy Roxas, had a thing for this particular blonde female. Roxas froze for a few seconds and quickly threw his DS to the other side of the couch near his chocolate brown haired cousin and raced as if it was life or death to the phone.

"Heres Roxas~," his mother giggled and handed him the phone.

"Hello?" asked shyly.

"h-hey it's Namine. Um, me and Kairi wanted to know if you and Sora wanted to have a sleepover at my house. All of us together haven't played for a long time. Oh and we're thinking of inviting Riku, oh and vanitas will be there to." She explained in her same old same old quite and sweet voice. Roxas blushed and grinned, "Let me ask," he responded and put the phone to his chest.

"Mom, can me and Sora sleepover at Nami's house?"

"Sure, IF you clean your room."

"Ok!" The blonde boy turned back to the phone, "We can, if we clean our room," he chuckled in embarrassment.

"Ok! Seeya when you guys get here." And they hung up, as both Sora and Roxas panicked and hurried towards their pig-sty of a room.

*ding dong*

"Girls get the door please," shouted Lightning busy making dinner for nine people. Her, her husband, Namine, Vanitas, Riku, Kairi, Sora, Roxas, and Roxas' Mother.

"Ok Mom!" kairi and Namine giggled as the raced to the door with Riku on their heels. All three were already in their Pjs.

Riku wore plain blue pants and a gray t-shirt with his dad's favorite struggle team. Kairi was in a huge light pink t-shirt with a red heart. Namine wore a set of light blue pj's with stars all over, even though they were a tad too big. The sleeves reached almost to the ends of her finger tips and her feet were covered. Once the door opened, the night of reunion began.
