CHAPTER 4
A short number of days had passed since Mary-Sue’s eventful landing on the Destiny Islands. During her short time spent there, she had become slightly better acquainted with Sora, Riku and Kairi, although something inside her gave her the indication that they weren’t exactly feeling particularly friendly towards her. In her opinion, Kairi was acting strangely protective, as if her arrival deemed threatening, but Mary-Sue didn’t really mind that too much. She also wondered whether Sora’s generally happy demeanor was all an act, and that in reality he was like any regular angsty teenager. Riku just seemed to be constantly sarcastic and cold. In all honesty, she was feeling slightly afraid of him, but she was also certain that these feelings would hopefully change when her charm got to him and he was literally throwing himself at her.
However, they were possibly attempting to perhaps pretend to be somewhat friendly to her, but she didn’t really know. But if they did, they weren’t doing the best job. Mary-Sue was allowed to be in a relatively close proximity of the group, of course with them being all huddled together in their trio trying to act like they didn’t really know her.
A place where this exclusion frequently happened was at school. Conveniently for Mary-Sue, the school year had just started and since she was now an inhabitant of the island, she was given a position at the local high school. Said school was located on a larger island different to the one she had recently arrived on, hidden behind a grove of trees and surrounded by a very tall fence.
Yes, it may seem awfully strange and/or cliché for many readers, but hey. It’s a Mary-Sue story.
The first day of school was not at all hard for Mary-Sue. After all, she had embarked on the high school journey a large number of times, with a different identity each time of course. It was also very easy to quickly climb the school’s social ladder, reign as ‘queen bee’, head cheerleader, prom queen, etc. The list went on.
Destiny High was different. Like always, there were many sets of eyes on her as she entered, but there were no happy glances coming her way. No one was swooning over her, begging for an autograph, a picture or a date. No one was immediately drawn to her beauty, scurrying up to her, complimenting on her hair and asking where she bought her outfit. The only looks she got were at her hair; there were many raised eyebrows at her royal blue plait, and the fact that it stood out just a little too much.
Her lessons in the morning were a breeze as usual. She still managed to somewhat impress the teachers with her outstanding intelligence, although somewhat angering other students with her know-it-all-ism. At lunch, she sat alone at the edge of a long table, Sora, Riku and Kairi sitting far away just enough to make sure it didn’t look like she was a permanent addition to their little group.
“Hey Riku. Who’s your friend?” an unimportant anonymous male asked his classmate.
“Uhh...” Riku paused and then gestured to his left, speaking very slowly as if the anonymous male had a mental impediment. “This is Sora. So-ra. And this” his arm moved further to the left “Is Kairi. Kai-ri.”
The anonymous male, let’s name him Timmy, placed his hand on his forehead and sighed. “No! Your other friend!”
“What other friend?” muttered a confused Riku.
“Never mind” Timmy grinned and left the room.
Seated a few meters to the left of Riku, Mary-Sue aka ‘Katira Tagumi’ slouched forwards, her hand sliding up her cheek and her elbow leaning on the metal table. She sighed loudly and smiled, blushing slightly. Well, she would have done if it weren’t for the fact that during her sighs, a long, somewhat painful coughing fit began, ending finally with a sneeze.
After the end of the episode, she resumed her sighing and blushing position. She felt very flattered and loved at that moment. Someone had recognized her, and showed somewhat positive feelings towards her, all without really having a large conversation with her. She knew that this had to happen eventually! A cheesy grin, much like Sora’s, grew on her face, and her self-esteem began to skyrocket once again. Mary-Sue felt a sudden rush of happiness and relief make its way through her body.
Riku liked her. She was certain.
She could easily tell by the way he kept his distance from her; by the way he didn’t talk to her in front of anyone. She didn’t expect him to be so shy! In her opinion, he was simply waiting for the right time, when they were alone, to spill his heart to her, launch himself at her and let the romantic adventure begin. His feelings showed when he looked at Sora and Kairi together. His awkward expressions at those times obviously meant he was lonely. What a coincidence! So was Mary-Sue! Together, they would be the perfect couple, envied by everyone that crossed their path. By day, they would hold hands while walking along the beach, sit under the paopu tree and watch the sunset, poking fun at Kairi at every possible opportunity. By night, they would sit on the sand, look at the stars and talk about love…
Her head slowly lifted off of the table; Mary-Sue wiped her mouth with her sleeve, eliminating any small droplets of drool that may have appeared during her daydream. Luckily, due to her being practically perfect in every way, there were none. It appeared that she had been fantasizing for a much longer amount of time than once predicted, and soon after she had moved herself into the standard seating position once again, the bell for the end of lunch had sounded. She stood still as she watched Riku rise from his seat and gracefully walk away, Sora and Kairi next to him of course. Mary-Sue quickly left and moved off to her next class, determined to get a seat next to Riku.
