Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
a/n: Hey there people, this will be my fourth story so far. 3/4 of them are of Kingdom Hearts (including this one), and 1/4 is Final Fantasy XII. I have so much fun writing these stories, I don't know what would happen if I didn't get to do this anymore. Anyways, I hope that you will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!! Here's a little summary of what is to come...
Sora, Kairi, and Riku all go to a high-end, uptight private school. As you could imagine, they would be bored at a place like that right? Well, not after Roxas, the teenage movie star heart-throb starts going there as well. What will happen? What made such a person as Roxas want to go to a school like that? RoxasxSora SoraxRoxas pairing.
Happy Readings!!!
Sora's POV:
Flashback-
Mommy and Daddy were fighting again. They always fight.
Daddy would yell, "Sora should come with me to Hollow Bastion!"
Then Mommy would yell back, "No son of mine is going to be raised in some no good trash heep! He is going to stay with me in Destiny Islands where he can get a good education!"
And it would go on and on until finally Mommy would throw something at Daddy, and he would leave. I never liked it when they did that. It made me sad. So, instead of watching I would leave the house quietly, and go to my most favorite place in the worlds. Just down the street from my house there was my new school. Destiny Elementary. I always went there and sat on the swings or played on the jungle gym, and once I thought that it was getting late, I would head back home to Mommy and Daddy.
Today wasn't any different. I slipped out of the house unseen, and walked down the street to the playground. I walked up to the swingset, sat down, and swung blissfully. No one bothered me, and I prefered it that way. Most of the time. Swinging all alone got lonely sometimes, but then again, I had my imaginary friend Namine to keep me company when I needed someone.
The sun was just begining to get low in the sky when a huge black car rolled down the street. I watched as it passed by the school, and then did something odd. It turned around, came back, and parked in the school parking lot. I starred curiously at the grey old man that stepped carefully out of the driver's seat. He glanced up in my direction, and nodded curtly once before walking slowly around the back of the vehicle to where the door was in the back. He opened it up, and out stepped...a boy. Not much older than me, with golden blond hair and bright blue eyes that I could see all the way from where I was sitting.
He starred at me a momment, told the old man something, and began walking over to the playground. I watched as he strode over to where I was sitting, his shiny black shoes, and the bottoms of his black pants getting dirty. Then, he sat down, turned to me and asked, "Can I play with you?"
I was stunned for only a momment, and then I closed my mouth, gathered myself together, smiled, and replied joyously, "Yeah!"
He didn't smile back, but just nodded curtly. My grin faded slightly, but then I remembered something Mommy always used to tell me, "Just kill them with kindness, and they're bound to come around."
That's what I'd do. My mouth hurt from how big my smile got, and I said, "Do you want me to push you?"
"What? Oh...sure." he said, slightly stunned.
"Okay!"
I jumped off of my swing, and went up behind him, and giving his back a sharp push, he flew into the air. Then, fell back to me where I pushed him again. It was fun for a while, and he then asked, "You want to play on the jungle gym?"
"Race you!" I yelled, giggling as I sprinted towards victory.
He ran after me, calling out, "That's not fair!"
I just laughed more. And once he caught up, I smiled. He glared at me for a momment, and then realized that I was only joking. We tied. Gasping, I made my way to the monkey bars and began swinging my way to the other side. We had such a blast. I even got him to smile a few times, and I even thought I heard the hint of a laugh once. The sun had started sinking down behind the horizon when we sat on top of the double slide right next to each other. I was exhaughsted. I had never had that much fun playing at the playground before.
"Hey," I said, turning to my new friend."are you going to the first day of school tommorow too?"
He turned to me, and said smiling, "No. I'm not. I'm homeschooled."
"What?" I asked, my eyes starting to fill with water. "You m-mean that y-you're not going to be my f-friend anymore?!"
(a/n: Kawaiiiii!!!!)
He just smiled again and said, "I'm sorry."
I really burst into tears now. Putting my hands up to my eyes, I bawled. And, crying out through my tears, I said, "N-no! That means, t-that I'll never s-see you again!"
He was my first ever friend! How could he leave me like that?! Tears streamed down my face at record speed, and they didn't stop until I felt two arms wrap themselves around my shoulders. I gasped, and then wrapped my own arms around his middle. We hugged, and didn't draw away for what felt like forever. Finally, however, he pulled away, and mumbled, "I'll always be your friend, and hopefully you'll see me again."
"B-but how will I f-find you?" I asked, hiccupping slightly. "I don't even know your name!"
He smiled warmly down at me and whispered, "I love you."
My eyes grew wide as he leaned down quickly, kissed me lightly on the lips, and slid down the slide. Running back across the playground to his car, I realized what just happened, and blushed scarlet. And just when he was about to get back in his car, I stood up, and screamed, "I love you too! I'll find you someday!"
He stopped, turned, blushed, and dove into the backseat. Grinning from ear to ear, I watched as the old man closed the door, walked slowly around the car to the driver's door, and opened it. But, before he got in, he turned to look at me, and smiled. Then, he was gone, and the roar of the engine filled my ears. It backed out of it's parkind spot, and started driving off. The last thing I saw, was a small hand sticking out of the window and waving frantically.
I waved back. But, I was too late. They were already speeding down the road. Once they were gone, the sun decided that it was time to go to bed, and everything became dark. Oh no! Mommy and Daddy are going to be so worried!
Jumping down the slide, I bounded off across the grass and down the street towards my house. When I got in, my parents wern't doing what I thought they would be. They wern't worrying or anything, they were still yelling actually. That's alright. I didn't mind. Smiling, I walked up to my room, got ready for bed, and fell asleep.
The next day, I was still in a good mood. And on the way to school, Mommy asked laughing slightly, "What's got into you there kiddo?"
"Nothing Mommy. I'm just excited for school!" I lied, smiling even wider.
"I'm excited too! Your first day of first grade is going to be so much fun!"
I nodded, and nearly burst out laughing. She kissed me goodbye when I got out of the car, and drove off. I grinned as I saw the slide where I had gotten my first kiss, and I bounded over to it. Slinging my backpack next to the door I would be entering as soon as the bell rang. Sprinting over to the slide, I saw that two kids were already on it.
"Hi! My name is Sora!" I said excitedly.
The two kids looked down at me confusedly, and I saw that they were holding hands.
"Are you two...boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked politely, trying not to sound envyous of them.
"No. We're best friends." the girl said.
"Yeah." the boy said.
I starred up at them for a momment before asking, "Can I be your friend too?"
They glanced at each other quickly, smiled, then turned to me, saying in unison, "Sure!"
They jumped down, introduced themselves as Riku and Kairi, and we played together the rest of the day.
We've been friends ever since.
Flashback end-
"Sora? Sora?!"
A piece of paper flew up out of nowhere and smacked me right on the forehead. I blinked, and looked up from the magazine I had been trying to read. Kairi was starring at me exasperatedly and growled, "Finally, I've got your attention! We have to go pick up our uniforms for school now, remember? We were meeting Riku at that store."
I shook my head slightly, and replied, "Sorry Kai, I...was thinking of something."
"Oh!" she said knowingly, pulling at the magazine I held in my hands. "So that's it. Ha! Let me guess. You were thinking about your 'one true love' again, right?"
I glarred at her and said sharply, "So?! What if I was?!"
"You're hopeless Sora." she said shaking her head, and heading towards the door.
"No I am not!" I called after her, throwing my people magazine at the back of her head.
I had been reading a story about the teen heart-throb Roxas Fujioka. The star of the new spy movies, teen heart-throb, and elligable bachelor. Everyone had a crush on him, including me. Kairi never lets up on that, but she doesn't know about that memmory. I've never told anyone about that. Not even my best friends. It's just that he reminds me so much of that boy that had kissed me, but it couldn't possibly be the same person.
Sighing, I trudged up behind Kai, and we made our way to the Destiny Island Private High School uniform store. Riku met us just outside the doors, and we all walked in together. The woman at the front desk looked up as the bell on the door clanged loudly, and smiled as she saw how old we were.
"Oh! You must be the kids picking up the uniforms then, eh?" she said in a strange accent.
"Um...yeah." Riku said, looking at the woman with interest.
She smiled and bustled out from behind the counter she was sitting at, and dissapeared into a back room. She reappeared only a momment later carrying three plastic covered school suits.
"There ya go kiddies!" she said, looking at the sizes and guessing which ones went to whom. She got them right amazingly. "You have a nice day now, eh?!"
"Thank you!" the three of us called out, heading out the door one by one.
Once we were out in the blazing sun again, I grabbed the zipper, and pulled. I gasped as I saw the the silky blue fabric glinting in the light. Looking to the right, I saw the school emblem stamped with DHS on it. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen! Now if only I got my class schedual.
"Come on! Let's go to the post office, maybe they're there today." Kairi giggled, running off down the street.
"Huh? Wait up Kai!" I called after her.
Riku jogged next to me as we caught up with her, and easily passed her, turning around and sticking our toungs as we got further away. It wasn't a friendly race anymore, it was a battle. I flashed a glare over at Riku, and he glarred back. Kairi laughed behind us and called out, "Ready!...Set!...GO!"
It was on. I dashed forwards, and veered off down a short-cut. Riku had fallen behind slightly, but caught up as I tried jumping over some crates. He flew past, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to catch up with him. We got to the post office with him leading by maybe six feet.
"What's the matter, there squirt? Am I too much for you?" he asked playfully, patting me on the top of the head.
I swatted his hand away and growled, "Stop that! I let you win!"
"Sure!" he said exasperatedly.
Kairi came bounding up, huffing and puffing. "Who won?"
"Me!" Riku yelled, dancing around.
My foot shot out, and tripped him up, but he didn't get a chance to hit me back. I had already dissapeared inside the post office with a triumphant, "Ha!"
The air conditioning was on full blast, and it felt nice against my hot sweaty face. There was only one withering old man standing at the counter, and he smiled as I starred at him. He looked familiar, but I didn't get a chance to study him more. Just then, Riku came up behind me, and wrapped his arm around my neck in a choke hold, crying out, "Got you now you punk!"
"Gah!" I choked out, trying desperatly to get his arm off of me.
"Stop it you two! We're in a public place now!" Kairi hissed over at us from the counter.
We jumped apart, and grinned wildly as she pulled out three letters. One, had my name on it. But, Kairi being Kairi, rushed past us, and giggled manically.
"Kairi!" Riku and I yelled after her.
We caught up to her, and snatched the letters from her hands. And, tearing ours open, we found out that we had the same classes.
It was fun the rest of the day. We bought sea salt ice cream, ran through the streets, went down to the beach, and eventually padled over to the island. There, we all sat on the curved tree that we always rested at.
Kairi asked, "Are you guys nervous?"
"Yeah." I said, maybe a little too fast.
They starred at me and I said, "Well, yeah, you know? All those new students. We'll be the new kids, remember? This is private school now. We only got in because it was in my mom's will that some of her money went to the three of us going to private school."
"Right." Riku said, crossing his arms and leaning back.
Kairi nodded and then said mischeviously, "Guess what So-ra?!"
This was obviously a bad sign. But I asked her anyways, "What, Kairi?"
"Your 'great love' lives in Destiny Islands. Did you know that?"
"What?!" I yelled, nearly falling off the tree.
"Yeah! And, he's having a party or something at his mansion up in the hills!"
I nearly died. I asked excitedly, "So, who's going? What's it for? Tell me Kai!"
"Hold on. One at a time." she giggled. "I think it's for his birthday. But..."
"But what?" I asked.
"But, it's invitation only." she mumbled downtrodden.
"Oh..." I said, the happieness draining out of me.
We sat in silence for a momment, and then Riku said, "Crash it."
I turned to him and asked, "What?"
"You heard me. Crash the party. So what if you're not invited?! Make yourself invited!" he said, claping me on the back.
My eyes grew wide, and I asked, "But, how would we get in? There must be tons of security."
"Don't worry about that." he said, winking. "Just be ready for me when I tell you it's time."
"Wait. I don't get it. Riku?! Wait!" I called after his retreating back.
He just waved and kept running. Turning to Kairi, I asked, "What do you think he's going to do?"
"I don't know. We'll just have to see."
"When is the party?" I asked her, jumping down from the tree.
She jumped off with me and said, "The first friday after school starts."
"Really? That soon?"
"Yeah."
We started walking slowly back down to the boats, and looking out across the water, I could see an outline of Riku already halfway back. I asked, "Hey Kai, how did you find out about the party anyways?"
"Oh! That, well I-" she stammered, turning bright pink. "You see, there's this guy, and-"
"You whore!" I exclaimed, giving her a look.
She punched me in the arm and yelled, "It's not like that you perv! We met the other night when you and Riku had to bail out of the movies. I already bought my ticket, so I thought that I'd go see it anyways. When I got in, I sat next to him, and then he asked me out to dinner. We had a nice time, so don't be mean! He works as the dishwasher at Roxas' house, so be happy I even told you anything!"
Grinning, I grabbed her and sqeezed her as tight as I possibly could. "Thanks Kai! You're the best! Even if you are a slut!"
She punched me again and we got into our boats. It was a while later before I got back home. The sun had already set, and the orange glow of streetlamps were flickering on. But, no one would be home to scold me anyways. Mom died and left me most of everything, while giving some to Riku and Kairi because they were orphans having to live on their own, and Dad had died in a car accident when I was ten. Opening the front door, I slipped inside, and gazed around. The floor was littered with boxes, some that read 'Send to Storage', and some that read, 'Destiny High School (Private)'. In order for me to go to school I would have to move into the dorms in the school. It was hard to leave though. I had grown up in here. But, if it's what mother would have wanted, then I would do it.
I called out to the darkness, "I'm home!"
Bounding out of the shadows came a furball. Its black and white fur filling my nostrils as it sprang into my arms. My dog Goofy was always home, and thankfully he wasn't very strickt about curfew.
"Down boy!" I laughed, pushing him off and standing up.
I led him up the stairs with a treat and started getting ready for bed. When I was in the bathroom, I pulled back the shower curtain to look in the tub. Inside, there was my duck Donald. He quacked up at me indignantly, and I mumbled through my toothbrush, "Good to see you too!"
When I got in my room, I was greeted by a flurry of sqeeks. And, going over to the cage on top of my desk, I said, "Hey there Mickey."
Clambering into bed, I began to feel the stress of the day finally catch up, and I barely felt Goofy flop down next to me because I was already half asleep. I called out, "Night everyone! See you in the morning!"
a/n: So?! What do you think so far?! Please R&R and tell me!!
