Chapter One ~
Moments of silence pass between us till he brings me closer; "Kairi" he says "I love you" is what I wanted him to say. This is what he actually said; "Can I borrow five dollars?"
"You already owe me like" I take a moment to count the math, seven dollars from elementary. Twenty-three dollars from junior high and seventeen from sophomore year. "Forty-seven dollars"
"Forty-seven?" He says surprised, I nod my head. "How?" and I drag myself down memory lane.
"Seven from elementary, ten cents for regular milk and fifthteen cents for chocalate"
"They were robbing us blind!" he protests
"Twenty three from junior high-"
"Twenty three? are you serious"
"Yeah! I broke my piggy bank for that one and you went on a date with Selphie!" and he remembers.
"That day was awesome" but before she could continue, she sees the expression on my face and says "Oh my god! that was the worst day of my life"
"Really?" I ask sarcastically and she nods
Im sitting on his desk now, preparing to exit through the window as he brings me in for a hug and rests his head on my shoulder.
"Kairi, when you come back i'll have your money and I promise to take you out for dinner" am I hearing this right?
"You got a summer job?" I ask, confused.
"No, we found our lead guitarist" and I feel a rush of excitement.
"Really? thats great. Who?"
"Rikku" and my world fades away. I cant compete with Rikku. Sure, im pretty but not exotic pretty. Rikku is exotic pretty and can have any boy she wants.
"Rikku? you mean that girl who parades around in a bikini?" and its true. She wears a two piece bikini leaving little to the imagination and a mini skirt.
"I dont care what she wears Kairi. Shes really talented"
"And how did this make you feel?" She asks, still writing on her clipboard.
"I was pissed! he could have easily chosen anyone else to be the lead guitarist for his stupid band but noooo he had to choose her"
"She certainly sold tickets"
"Whose side are you on?"
"Yours!"
"Do you like her?" I ask and he keeps me on hold for a moment.
In most stories, its usually the guy who goes to great lengths to get the girl but I have climbed mountains.
"Sup Kai, did you see Olettes new hair cut? she looks great with short hair"
"You like girls with short hair?"
"Well, I dont know actually. Just all that hair gets in the way" Guess who got a haircut that weekend?
In total, theirs about nine of these stories...yep. Some say im whipped but under no circumstances, will I wear a two piece thong bikini...and a miniskirt.
"Sora" I say "Do you like her?" and he replies without words, our lips meet and once more she enters. This time I throw something at her.
"Wait" she says "Sora actually kissed you?"
"Yeah" and she writes something on her clipboard. "What did you write?"
"If im going to be a professional psychologist one day Kairi, I need to focus on writing notes. Like for one, he totally played you"
"How?" I ask, mildly concerned.
"For one, you asked him a question and he kissed you! what a dick move Sora" Is that why he kissed me? to avoid my question.
I left Soras in a hurry, walking home in his favorite shirt as I relived my moment with Sora. I have been kissed before but it just felt special and then I thought about the long flight to Idaho. Idaho.
"Where were you?" She practically screeches, my mother isnt the greatest "You were at that boys house! werent you!"
"Yes and he has a name!" She knows that were childhood friends, she knows that were the best of friends...and possibly something more now.
"I swear! if you get pregnant! thats it! i'll throw you out so fast" She continues this till we reach the airport; "Heres your ticket! and your bags in the trunk!"
My ticket to Idaho, I think they watch corn grow in Idaho.
The in-flight movie was horrible and the guy beside me snored, the food was a hungry man special as I thought; fuck my life. I thought of Sora for the most part and read his previous text messages.
Text One ~ Be their in five. If not, read again.
"Did you meet any cute guys in Idaho?"
"A few but I basically spent the first part of summer wallowing in despair. No cellphone reception what - so - ever. Completely cut off from modern civilization"
"You poor thing" she says but quickly adds "but why does his mother hate you?"
"I was having bad cramps right and the painkiller refused to kick in so I headed to Soras for comfort. Climbed up to his room and he held me for the night-"
"Aww! that was so sweet of him"
"Then, the next morning his mom opens his door"
"Ohhh"
"Yeah, it wasnt pretty but lets continue?"
I found myself at Soras door, ringing the doorbell as Xion opened it;
"Hey! your back!" and its good to be back "Looking for Sora?"
"Yeah, he isnt answering his cell phone"
"Kairi, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, anything"
"Did the two of you break up?"
