Chapter One: Meeting The Neighbours
Namine had just about finished unpacking her clothing into her new wardrobe and put away her necessities into her draws. The only thing she wanted to hurry up and do, after the eight hours of insane driving, was go to Kairi's house. The two have known each other from toddler ages, since their parents are close friends, but they lived quite far so it was a pretty distant relationship.
Namine gave her parents a quick goodbye and practically ran down the street and knocked on a door with a number 19 hanging on it. Kairi's mother opened the door. "Oh, Namine! It's been such a long time. We haven't been expecting you for another few hours or so."
"Well, you know how fast dad drives. He says there are dotted marks on the road that show when the traffic cameras can see you so it was a pretty bumpy ride. Going fast then slow." Namine said, rather awkwardly, but Mrs Kimura still gave a genuine laugh.
"Kairi's up stairs, though I think she's still sleeping. You can go on up." Namine thanked Kairi's mother and Usain Bolt-ed up the stairs. 'How can she still be asleep in the afternoon?!' Namine went upstairs, to the third floor (it was a large home) and burst right into Kairi's room. Expectedly, Kairi was sleeping soundly and snoring like an animal. Namine walked up to the bed to think of the most annoying way to wake her up. Without a moment to spare, she flicked Kairi on the forehead and the girl jolted up.
"What the heck was that for?" Kairi said, adjusting her eyes to the light. When she raised her head, she lit up like a Christmas tree. "Namine! Your here! When did you come?"
"A few hours ago but I was unpacking. I can't believe your were still asleep! What girl stays asleep until three 'o' clock?"
"Uh, I did wake up for lunch though. But hey, you're here and that's all that matters! Your finally staying in Destiny Islands, that means school together, talking together, shopping together, partying together and generally-"
"Having fun together. Yes."
"Are we seriously going to be those friends who can finish each other's sentences?" After a long silence and watching each other's cheesy smiles grow, the girls broke into a short laughter. "Hey, we should go somewhere to celebrate or whatever... I know, meet the neighbours! My boyfriend and his brother are down the road from here."
"Oh yeah, Sora lives somewhere around here. I didn't know he had a brother."
"Maybe you can have him." Kairi teased, still yawning.
"Oh, shut up. And get dressed!" Kairi did as commanded and a while passed before the girls headed out.
Whilst walking back down the road, Namine noticed how sunny it was and how clean the whole place seemed. The whole scenery was a breath of fresh air compared to old Twilight Town. The house the girls stopped at was right beside Namine's new one. Number thirteen. Namine's house was number twelve. "So Sora lives next door to me."
"Oh, cool. We all live in the same neighbourhood. How nice and totally not planned by me."
The door opened and boy with brown, spiky, gravity-defying hair was standing there smiling at his guests. "Hello Kairi, and Namine! It's been a while. Come on in." The door shut leaving the three to go up the stairs and to Sora's room.
"I'm going to a lot of rooms today, aren't I?" Namine said, saying her thoughts aloud and Sora laughed at her openness. Once they'd all settled, Sora began to speak.
"So how long have you been here so far?"
"Just a few hours. I went to Kairi's house literally five minutes ago and she was still lying around sleeping."
"Seriously Kari? Well you haven't broken my record yet!" Namine just laughed but was still shocked.
"Don't encourage her."
"Don't worry Namine," Kairi said, "Its only Sunday's. That's lazy day for Sora and I."
"So what? Don't you guys have homework to do?"
"That's what the school library is for." Kairi stated.
"And what Riku is for. The guy gets it done the minute he gets it!" Kairi and Sora laughed but obviously Namine was clueless.
"Who's Riku?"
"Ah, you'll meet him at school tomorrow. Great guy. Athletic, cool, tall and handsome, not like Sora." Kairi joked.
"Hey! I am all of those things and you know it!"
"No, no. You're not handsome, Sora, your cute. Like, guy kind of cute."
"What does that even mean?"
The whole time Namine was either laughing or holding back a smile. 'Are they always like this?' After further pointless, comedic bickering, Namine asked if she could use the bathroom, seeing as she had this urge to fix up her hair and so she left the room. She realised she didn't know which room the bathroom was. All the doors were shut so it was guessing game time.
Namine turned her head several times before deciding that the third room down was the right one. Because she chose it with her amazing instincts, surely it had to be right. Namine turned the door knob, opened the door and nearly yelped at the sight of a shitless boy in the centre, just looking back at her in slight surprise. There was a painfully awkward silence and Namine was almost staring by the boy's body, forgetting to avert her eyes.
At which point, her mind came back to reality and she pulled the door shut, in hopes to erase such an image. 'Good thing he was wearing trousers at least.'
Shamefully, Namine walked back into Sora's room, sat down and realised something. "Oh crap, that was Roxas, wasn't it?" she said out loud.
"What are you talking about Namine?" Kairi asked.
"Uh, never mind. I was just... You know what, forget it. Let's all just forget it happened."
"You saw Roxas? Tell him to come in here! I thought he went outside. Maybe he came back and we didn't notice."
"I'll get him." Kairi offered. She got up and left. Namine was panicking on the inside. How does she talk to her best friend's boyfriend's brother who she saw without a shirt on?! The dreaded moment came and Roxas entered the room, with full-clothed this time.
Being the quick thinking girl that she was, she knew the best option for now was to retreat. "Sorry guys I have to go now. Mum's waiting at home with lunch so bye." she mumbled quickly, speed-walking out of the room.
I hope you liked it, I know I enjoyed writing it. This chapter was a little plain, but it'll get interesting soon...or will it? Yes it will.
Goodbye for now. And Why You No Review or Follow?!
