.Day To Day
Kairi's schedule is rather curious, her school friends think. She doesn't bother listening to them lecture her - about how she should go hang out with them more often. Instead, she rests her head in her arms and takes a small nap before class starts. Her days are busy, and she doesn't want it any other way.
She sleeps in as late as she can - tired from staying up far past one in the morning. 'Late' is still fairly early compared to most of the girls her age, but it's late for her. Her school uniform is tossed on the floor and she's started taking her showers at night so she can sleep in longer. Breakfast is always set out for her, and she leaves dirty dishes behind and finishes eating on the walk to school.
She walks to school with Riku, and Sora meets them half-way. She takes notes in half her classes, and copies Riku's later. Sora takes no notes, and copies from the both of them. She returns home briefly, and tosses her bag into her room - maybe changes her clothes. Once that's done, she walks around town with Riku and Sora. Sometimes they walk around town, other times they go to one of their houses. They hardly ever go to the Islands.
Wherever they go, she stands to Riku's right and Sora stands on his left. Or sits. Or kneels, or leans, or whatever. She usually half-works on her homework and watches the boys play around. There's a short hour or so where they copy hers, or perhaps help her solve a particularly difficult problem. Usually this is Riku, though Sora tries his best to help. Their curfews have been broken so many times that they've been given up on. Sometimes they just stay with eachother, and don't go home at all.
Weekends are no different. Kairi procrastinates her laundry and weekend homework, opting instead to tackle Sora, or perhaps mess up Riku's hair. She climbs out her window - just for the fun of it - and walks to Sora's house. Riku is usually already there, and they have a video game tournament, or watch a movie - sometimes they just sit around talking until they pass out.
It's usually Sora who falls asleep first. Kairi always expects Riku to last longer than her, but continually finds herself draping a blanket over his shoulders. Despite going to bed earlier, the boys sleep in far later. Sora's mother has become quite used to having Kairi's helping hand in the kitchen when she makes breakfast - and the redhead makes sure to sneak chocolate chips into the pancakes.
She knows this is something precious, and she's already lost it once.
So she does her best to keep it from disappearing for even a second.
Until she realizes that it will always come back.
