Falling.
I'm falling. Deeper into the black abyss.
surrounding me
filling my lungs
choking me

I can't breathe...

Hi.
I'm Roxas Strife, and welcome to my life. Or, the small peice that I care to write down, anyway.
I was told going through my problems with this little black book would help.
I'm still waiting.

We're on the road. Sora ( my twin brother ) and I will be going to " Grey Water Academy ".

Charming, isn't it?

And before you even bother asking, little black book, no I don't have two parents. Mom walked out on us about 6 months ago. Hence, our new beginning in Destiny Islands.
Well, I think you're up to date. 3 hours of the trip to go.

I'm going to sleep.
- Roxas Strife


"Roxas!"
I jumped from my chair where I slept in the car, gasping for air.
The hell kind of a dream is that? I lazily looked up at who yelled, only to see Sora's too-perky-to-be-true face.
"Roxas, don't be a bum! We're finally here! We have to get moved in~! School is tomorroooowwww~~!" The smile on his face was almost audible, he was smiling so hard.
"Boy, don't be lazy! Pick up one of those damn boxes! " Sora and I both winced, quickly getting up to help dad before anything got nasty.

Picking up one of the boxes, I turned to Sora, who was staring into nothingness. Concrete can't be that interesting.
"Sora... " Nothing. He didn't move. " Sor... 'ey, Sora? " I walked over to him, putting down the box & shaking him. " Sora, snap out of it!"
He blinked rapidly, his eyes refocusing. "Sorry! Zoned out!" He smiled widely again, and went to go get his own box to take into the new house.
I picked my box back up, and entered through the propped-open doorway. Masses of peach-colored walls and ugly furniture we never owned graced my eyes. Er, maybe graced isn't the word.

I continued into the hallway, looking at the roof for my trap door. I don't get the privilege of a normal room, apparently. Finally finding the door, I set down my box to open it up.
I slowly started pulling on the string for the trap door, watching as the ladder descended. All in a rush, the smell of mothballs hit me, like one big smell bomb.
"Oh, lovely..." I sighed quietly as I picked my box back up, climbing the ladder into my room. The overall space of the room was small and cramped, with paint peeling in obvious spots and dust coating every available surface.

I put my box down, looking out the window on the far wall. The view was absolutely stunning. You could see the coastline from here for Christs sake! Maybe living here wont be so bad after all..?
The doorbell sang across the house, alerting us of someone at the door. Naturally, Sora yelled coming while skipping down the hall. I don't even have to see him to know that.

I descended my ladder, almost falling a couple times. Gotta get used to that, I guess...
I walked up to the door, scratching my head as I eyed the guy at the door.
"Uh... hello?"
"Hi!" The blonde guy jumped over a bit, waving in front of me frantically. He was tall and god awful skinny. And - is that a mullet? Who the hell has those anymore? Yet, he continued talking.
"I just wanted to welcome the Strife's to the neighborhood! ... This is the Strife household, right?" The blue-eyed male suddenly got really worried. Looks like he and Sora will be good friends.
"Oh, yeah! It is!" Sora responded, reassuring him. "What's your name? Are you going to Grey Water...?"
"Yup! The names Demyx. And my buddy," he said gesturing to the shabby car he came in," is named Riku. We're the welcoming committee! Are you guys coming to school tomorrow?" He tilted his head ever so slightly upon delivering the question.
"Oh, yeah! We will!" Sora smiled, waving at 'Riku' in the car. The poor soul was too scared to wave back. "We'll see you tomorrow! We'll definitely need help finding our way!"
Demyx smiled and nodded, heading back to his car. He suddenly stopped, turning around. "I nearly forgot! What's your names?"
"Sora!" Sora hollered back, smiling.
"...Roxas." I murmured from behind him.
"Alright! Seeya tomorrow, Sora and Roxas! " He smiled one last time before climbing into the passenger side door and driving off. "Aaaaaaaaalright then..." I mumbled as I walked back into the hall and pulled the trap door down for my room. "Hey, Sora. If dad asks, i'm packing and heading off to bed."
"Alright, Roxas! Night!" Sora smiled, waving.

I climbed up my ladder, flopping down onto the floor as soon as I lifted myself up. I turned my head slightly to see if there was a mattress in the room. Spotting it in the far corner, I crawled over, and lay down on it, falling asleep almost instantly.

With a rough nights sleep, a blaring siren woke me for school. At 6 in the fucking morning.
Also known as, way too early.
There was a note taped to the alarm clock reading, " Thought this may help! c: - Sora "
"...Typical." I sighed, pulling my clothes out of my still packed box and onto my body.
After taking about 30 minutes to do my hair, I descended my ladder and greeted Sora at the door.
"Ready to go, Sora?"
"Yup!" I grabbed the keys off of the newly installed key rack, and headed for my car.
After a short 20 minute car ride to the school, I parked my car as far away from the hell-hole as possible. I didn't see Demyx, but I was pretty sure I wouldn't miss him inside.
Sora and I out out, and braced ourselves at the front doors of the school.

Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself for my descent into hell.


AN: Hi! :3
Yes, i'm making an attempt at a fanfiction. I know its slow to get moving, but I didn't want this chapter to be too long. ^^"
Please review! This is my first time with first-person, and i'm really worried this isn't anything good at all ever. xD
And if you're good with names, I need last names for basically everyone in Kindgom Hearts. If you like doing that kinda thing, have at it xD Credit will be given to the ones I go with~!
Thank you!
