Birthday Wishes

It was the first day of school, and I was walking to King's High School as my first day of being a freshman. I wasn't nervous or anything; my older brother, Ventus, had told me how easy it was at King's High. I just hoped Naminè would be in the same homeroom as me.

About fifteen minutes later, I reached the school, and looked at the area around me. In front of the stone steps leading upwards into the school, there was a gigantic statue of King Mickey wielding a keyblade against waves of heartless. To this town, he was a hero, and he even founded this high school.

I briskly walked up the grey concrete steps, and entered the majestic school. I then grabbed my schedule and a map of the school that had been mailed to me when I enrolled here. Apparently, my homeroom was "Finances". I proceeded down a few halls, then up a staircase. Stopping at a classroom, I pushed open the door, walked in and took a seat, right next to the girl I'd been in love with for years, Naminè, and said a simple "Hello Naminè." as I smiled at her. "Hey Roxy!" Naminè replied happily. "We both have Finances as our homeroom!" I then replied somewhat nervously: "That's cool."

Just then the teacher, Mr. Cloud Glimpse, walked in and sat at his overly organized desk. "Class begins in five minutes." he said nonchalantly.

All the students in the class quickly grabbed their notes, pencils, and pens and organized their own desks. In the front row Kairi twiddled her thumbs, and Axel, who sat next to her, played with a lighter under his desk. Naminè was drawing a beautiful image of Destiny Islands.

"Hello class, I understand today is, for many of you, your freshman year, and I know some of you may be worried about being engulfed in homework. That's why, I won't be assigning any homework until next week!" said the teacher with a smile on his face. This caused much cheering from the kids in the class.

The teacher continued talking about Finances, and most of the students payed attention, but Roxas couldn't think straight while sitting next to Naminè. His mind just kept drifting off to his birthday wish, and whether it would or would not come true. Roxas wanted to ask her out on a date more than anything, but he knew he would never find the courage to do so.

The bell rang, interrupting his thoughts. Roxas gathered his stuff and stuffed it all into his Navy Blue backpack.

Roxas was quite glad that today was a Friday, and was looking forward to his friend Sora's Birthday Party tonight. Roxas laughed, remembering what Kairi had gotten Sora. "Right, Nami will be there. I need to focus." said Roxas to himself. He then proceeded to take a shower, change, and eat breakfast.

Once he finished his usual routine he hastily grabbed his backpack and ran out the front door to his house.

Running even faster now, down the dull, bleak sidewalk, he checked the time on his "Organization XIII" wristwatch. 6:48. "Crap." thought Roxas, knowing he was going to be late. Worse still, it was beginning to rain. "Oh great, I'm going to be late! Thank god i don't have any homework!" he said to himself, mentally cursing the rain.

At exactly 7:08, Roxas walked into class, his coat drenched in water, his hair dripping wet. "Glad to see you made it Roxas." said Mr. Glimpse sarcastically. Roxas took a seat next to Naminè's empty desk, wondering why she was late. He easily tuned out the Teacher's lesson on Finances, his only concern being Naminè. A note landed on his desk, thrown by an Auburn haired girl. It read: "Hey Roxas! Have you seen naminè? "_"

Kairi"

"Kairi hasn't seen naminè either? Oh no, I hope nothing has happened to her! No, I mustn't think like that, she's probably just sick is all..." ran through Roxas' mind. BRIIIIZZNNNG! Went the bell loudly, signifying the end of class.

"Kairi! You haven't seen Naminè either? You guys usually walk to school together!" Roxas worriedly ran towards Kairi. "I'm worried too, Roxas. She would have told me or called normally. What do you think happened, Roxas?"

Sora rushed towards the two and interrupted "Mr, Vexen, the Science Teacher, said he saw Naminè!" "What? Where?" yelled Roxas. Sora continued. "Mr. Vexen said she was with a tall man in a black robe who claimed to be her Father!"
