I hope you all continue readiing and reviewing, it really helps. I don't mind constructive critism. No flames please. Anyhow, for these first six chapters I am going to revise them.

Reality Ain't Pretty, Sora!

Book One

Chapter 1: Caught in Despair

Oh God, how do I do this? This doesn't even make any sense! Why the heck didn't I study? Stupid test, what's the point in taking it anyways?

Taking tests wasn't what 17-year-old Sora did best. It was a make up day for final exams at Destiny High. These were very important tests since they were worth one third of their grade. Everyone had been on time to take their tests yesterday, except for Sora. The seniors were out of school and were getting ready for college. Unfortunately for Sora, he was behind. And even worse, math was his weakest subject! He was all alone, by himself in the quiet room. Did he study for this very important test? No, no he didn't…but he should have!

OK, calm down. I might be able to do this!

Sora took a deep breath and exhaled tensely. Small drops of perspiration slithered down his soft face and slipped onto his chest. He felt hotter and his cheeks turned to a rosy shade of red. Usually, he was never this tense on taking any test. Realizing this, it worried him greatly.

-24.

Emma invested money at a bank three years ago. She signed up for a CD that paid 6 yearly interests, compounded semiannually. The interest is added to the balance and is accumulated with the original investment. At the end of three years, her account is worth 4,417.99. How much was her initial investment?

Tick, tick, tick!!

Ok, so if the CD was…no. If she had that much money after the interest, I would multiply…or divide? Whatever, I will chose D.

-25.

There are three consecutive multiples of nine. The sum of the first two numbers is 2,853. What are the integers?

Tick, tick, tick…

What the heck are consecutive multiples? Um…should I subtract?

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

The sound of the clock tormented his ears and each second accumulated pressure on the frustrated boy. An hour past by and poor Sora was still struggling. Sora's nervous face expression had not altered. He could barely grasp his no. 2 pencil or keep focus because he was too busy glaring at the devilish clock that hung sturdily above the classroom door; with each second disturbing him. When he finally decided to look at the fearsome test that lay uselessly before him, he was too late.

Ding, ding, ding!!

The school bell rang loudly in the empty school and echoed in Sora's mind. He was doomed…His teacher, Mrs. Dang (so they nicknamed here) walked rapidly to the small desk he sat in. Each step she took made him uneasy. Her dark brown eyes seemed harsh and stern as she watched him squirm.

"Time's up, Sora!" she exclaimed, holding her hand out.

"No! I need more time! Can I have twenty more minutes, please?" pleaded Sora with a

worried expression on his tired face.

Mrs. Dang wasn't the nicest teacher in the world, getting even a thirty second extension on any test was quite impossible. "No!" was her harsh reply.

"Pleeeassseee??" begged Sora with his sweaty hands folded and trying to come up with more ways to get more time for himself.

"Sorry, Sora. You need to do the test within the time limit." She said with much impatience.

"Five minutes?" Sora questioned.

"Sora! Must I repeat myself?" she yelled, reaching for his test.

Before she was able to take his test away, he grabbed onto it and held it firmly. The test

was in the hands between his teacher and himself. After holding on, he replied, "Not if you give me more time!"

Getting upset and angry, she pulled the test and exclaimed, "Let go! Now!"

Refusing to give up, Sora tugged harder in order to get the test out of her hands and back into his possession. The force between the two was too much for the test and it tore in two, unbearable pieces. Mrs. Dang's blood boiled and her face had turned into a dreadful red shade. She held the two pieces and looked at Sora's regretful face.

"I am failing you!" she bellowed, pointing to the door. "Get out!"

"What!? But, I didn't do anything!" he cried.

"I said go!!" she had lost patience completely and wanted Sora out of her sight.

Unenthusiastically, he hoisted his black and navy blue back pack on his right shoulder and dragged his sorry self out of the room. The hallways were empty and all he heard were his loud footsteps.

"What am I going to tell Kairi now?" he muttered to himself as he continued walking towards the front entrance, passing by many lockers.

"This was my last chance to impress Kairi that I am good in school, and I took that chance and threw it right out the window…No! Wait, I took that chance and crumpled it into a ball and flushed it down the damn toilet right out into the sewers!"

Sora had a crush on Kairi, a long time best friend, since he was little. He wanted to prove himself and try to win Kairi's heart by impressing her. He was upset at his goofy mistake. He felt like going back in time and take that silly test all over. It was too late, and he couldn't do anything. Finally getting to the door, he opened it, allowing the cool breeze to blow against his warm face. He began walking when he heard a familiar voice nearby.

"Sora!" he heard an innocent, sweet voice calling out to him.

Turning around, he saw Kairi and Riku in the distance. They were his two best friends and they had been waiting forever for Sora to be done with that test. Hurriedly, he caught up to them.

"Hey guys! Thanks for waiting!" he greeted.

Kairi giggled and asked eagerly, "So, how was your test?"

Sora gulped. Staring at her engaging face, he thought about all the time and effort that she had willingly sacrificed for him so that he was well prepared for that exam. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell her the truth that he ended up getting a forced failure.

Thinking of a quick answer, he replied, "It was easy… I'm sure that I passed it!"

Excitedly, she gave him a sudden, friendly hug.

"I'm so happy for you! All those hours of helping you study paid off!" She rustled his spiky, brunet hair.

Forcing a chuckle, he answered, "Uh huh."

However, Riku suspected that something was wide off the mark. Since when was any test easy for Sora? The last time he checked, Sora never thought that any test was easy. He gave his best friend a skeptic look, and in return he received a taunting look from Sora. He didn't want anything to make Kairi think that he was lying to her. The trio began walking through neighborhoods to get to their homes. It had been a long day, and they all needed some time to chill.

"So, what do you guys wanna do?" asked Kairi as they walked in a steady pace.

They were interrupted by a deafening honking noise. Sora glanced at the road and rolled his blue eyes after noticing who it was. Kairi gazed in disgust. Riding slowly next to them was Axel in his new yellow convertible. He snickered and laughed loudly.

"Look, it's the young and car-less!" saying that, he drove away blowing dust in their confused faces and honked his annoying horn continuously.

Getting angry, Sora yelled, "Shut up, who the hell do you think you are, you good for nothing piece of crap! Drive your sorry ass somewhere else!!"

Calming down, Sora faced his two friends and remarked angrily, "I hate that jerk."

"Maybe, you should just let it go…" suggested Kairi nodding her head slowly.

Halfheartedly, he agreed and did not say anything about Axel or his bad behavior. Everyone knew that whenever Sora got caught up in the moment, he couldn't be stopped. Turing 17 was a big change for Sora. He was excited that his birthday was around the corner and he wanted to show how much more "mature" he had become.

Focusing back on Kairi's question, Sora responded, "Let's go to the skateboard park!"

Disliking the idea, Kairi suggested doing something that they all were willing to do. Sora couldn't think of anything better, and Riku didn't mind what they did. Kairi stopped where she was and stomped her foot. "Oh no!" she exclaimed suddenly, "I forgot that I had to do some important errands for my mother! I'm sorry, but I have to leave you guys. I know, since summer vacation just started, we can spend some time together tomorrow! I promise!"

Saying that, she bid them good bye and turned the other direction. Sora sighed and continued walking with Riku. Out of hearing distance, Riku began talking to Sora. "So, what's up with the lies," he emphasized, "You didn't do well did you?"

Sora looked forward and folded his arms behind his hair. "Your point is? Besides, what did you want me to tell her?"

"Geez, I don't know, how about what really happened?" Riku pouted, he crossed him arms around his chest as his silver bangs bounced by his eyes with every step he took.

"Pfft."

The two took a turn at the corner and saw Riku's house in the distance. Riku took the keys out of this pocket and unlocked the door to his house. Sora eyed his actions, trying to remember something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Riku jerked the door open then they both set off to his bedroom.

"You want to play video games?" Riku suggested, taking out his game system from his closet.

"Sure!" agreed Sora, plopping himself onto Riku's neatly made bed. The two friends played Kingdom of Hearts 3 until dinner time. Glancing at his black watch, Sora decided it was time for him to go. "Well, I have to go now. I don't want my parents getting mad at me for not being home before dark" Sora chuckled and departed from his friend's house.

The warm evening breeze brushed against Sora's spikes, making them wave aimlessly in the air. He walked past large homes and playful children. Whistling to himself, Sora thought about the stressful day he had. Reaching his home, he observed that the house was dark and the driveway was empty. He walked up the doorstep and lazily turned the front door, the locked front door.

"Shoot! I left my house key in my bathroom!" Sora grunted at him clumsy mistake as he reached into his pockets searching for the key he needed. Carelessly, he dropped his bag to his side and sat down on the front porch. He glanced at his watch which read 6:25.

"Mom and Dad don't come home until 7:30!" Sora groaned and hung his head.

He knew what was coming for him. He knew that his parents would get very upset about Sora's irresponsibility. He was supposed to clean up his messy room and do some small chores everyday before his parents came home. They thought that it would teach him some 'responsibility'. However, for the past few months, Sora had not been successful in granting his parent's wishes, which made them worry even more.

Right now, his room was not clean and he hadn't started on those chores. If he couldn't get into his house, how was he supposed to do everything before their arrival? Frightening images exploded into his mind. His parents had become quite strict recently and they weren't going to buy any excuse that he would tell them. That's what they had been doing for the past few years, not watching out too much for him or stopping him from doing things that he should.

What was he to do? Frantically, Sora was thinking of every excuse to tell his parents, not to mention his failure of his test. He knew that his parents' heads would burst right off and they would probably send him to military school or do something bizarre.

Let's not think the worst!!
