Fallen Cherry Blossoms

What if your happiness is making others happy? But what will happen if their happiness, meaning letting go of your own happiness?

Chapter 1

"Ring… Ring… Ring…"

I moved my hand in the search for the alarm clock when I heard a knock outside my door.

"Namine, wake up. Breakfast's ready," she said sleepily.

I recognized her voice. It's my twins', Kairi.

"Okay Kai, will be ready in a minute."

There's no reply so I guessed she has left already.

I turned the alarm off and tried to stand up from my bed. It's a bit hard for me because… Well, I lost one of my legs in an accident when I was 11 years old, 4 years ago. It was hard for me at first, but it has been normal for me right now.

Then there's another knock at my door and the door was opened now, revealing the person behind it. It's my mom. She wore her usual dress and her curly brown hair was tied in a braid with a pink ribbon.

"Morning Nami! Let me help you to the bathroom."

I didn't say anything, knowing she will still help me even if I say no.

She helped me to sit on my wheelchair and then pushed it to the bathroom.

"If you need anything, I'll be outside, okay?"

I nodded and entered the bathroom hopping with one leg. Don't ask me how I shower everyday cause I seriously don't know either, it's been a routine I guess.

I put on my school uniform; it's a button up shirt and blue plaid skirt with matching tie.

I hold on to the walls and tried to get out the bathroom.

"Nami, have you finished already?" my mom questioned.

"Yes," I answered.

Then I opened the lock, and my mom helped me to sit on the wheelchair.

"Come on, everyone's waiting at the dining room," she smiled.

And by everyone, she meant my dad and Kairi.

I smiled back and we're heading to the dining room. I saw a tall figure and across him was Kairi.

"Morning Nami, slept well?" my dad asks.

My dad has blonde hair, same as mine, and sorta-blue eyes. I guessed that's where I got mine.

I nodded. "Morning dad."

I looked at Kairi; she has straight red hair, which I envied because I think blonde hair is way too usual. I think it's from our grandma because both of my mom and dad don't have red hair. She has violet tinted blue eyes. She wore the exact uniform as mine, Destiny High uniform.

"Hey Kai," I tried to greet her.

She smiled. "Hey Nam!"

Mom put my toast in front of me and sat next to Dad.

I mumbled a thanks.

"Kai, take your own toast," she said to Kairi.

Kairi stood and walked towards the kitchen, and back again with a plate of toast.

"Ready for our first day?" I said while eating my toast.

"Even if I'm not, we still have to go right?" she giggled.

I laughed as well. "You're right."

"Nam, do you need us to drive you to school?" my mom asked.

I shook my head. I feel like my parents were being too protective of me since the accident. But honestly, I didn't think it's necessary. I liked to be treated as normal children, like Kairi, like the old Namine, before the accident happened.

"No, I'll just walk with Kairi, it's not too far, right?"

Dad looked worried. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "Don't worry dad."

"Kairi, take care of you sister, okay?" he said.

I frowned. "Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore, I can take care of myself."

"But—"

"Let's go Kai," I said while moving towards the door.

Kairi stood and took her bag. She helped me to push my wheelchair.

"Bye mom, bye dad," I said.

"Bye Nam! Be sure you go home with Nam, okay Kai?"

Kairi nodded.

I felt guilty for her sometimes. Kairi is my sister, not my babysitter. She has her own life. But mom and dad always make Kai to take care of me.

I turned to see her. "Sorry Kai."

"It's okay Nam," she said silently.

We didn't say anything to each other after that. So it's a silent walk to the school.

After five minutes, a view of the school gate approaches. Whoa. The school is really big. At least it's bigger than my old school.

"Where're we going Nam?" she looked around.

I looked around searching for familiar faces. I guessed I know nobody here.

"You both look lost, need help?" a spiky-brown haired boy grinned.

"We're new here. Can you show us the main office?" Kairi replied.

"Okay. Let's go!" he smiled.

The unknown boy wore the same thing as us, except it's pants instead of skirt. He has a pair of blue eyes, which reminded me of the sky. He has a smile that somehow can make others, including me, can't help but smile back at him.

We followed him, and we passed through some students who were gathering in front of someone's locker. I was going to see what or who but then a voice interrupted.

"Oh! I haven't even introduced myself. Sorry! My name's Sora," he smiled while looking back at us.

"Hi, I'm Kairi, and this is my twins, Namine," Kairi replied.

"Hi! I guessed you've known me right now, but you can call me Nam for short," I smiled.

Then suddenly there's a boy who bumped at Sora, I saw a glimpse of who he is. He has golden colored hair, and somehow has a resemblance to Sora.

I guessed Sora know him, because he started to call the boy.

"Roxas!" He shouted.

But the boy, -who I learned, called Roxas-, kept walking towards the crowd and he's now nowhere to be seen.

I averted my gaze back to Sora, giving him a questioning look.

Kairi must have been confused too, because she's giving him the same look.

Sora's hesitating at first, as if thinking whether he should tell us about that. But at last, he decided to tell us.

"Well… He's my older brother, Roxas."

I nodded. That explained why he looks like Sora.

"Why is he in a hurry?" I asked.

Sora shook his head. "I don't know either."

I decided not to ask more questions.

We walked until we saw a door with "Main Office" writing in front of it.

"Well, here we are. Just come in and tell Ms. Tifa that you're new, and ask for your schedule. Don't worry, she's nice. I guess I'll see you later, bye Nam, bye Kairi," he smiled at us then head towards the different direction.

"Let's go inside Nam."

Inside was a normal office; a desk was placed on the corner of the room, with a computer and some papers on it. Sitting there was a woman with long-black hair. I guessed she's Ms. Tifa, the one who Sora spoke about before.

She looked at us and smiled. "Hello! You must be new here. What's your name?"

"I'm Namine and this is Kairi," I smiled back.

"Wait a second, I'll give your schedules."

"Thanks miss," Kairi thanked her.

"No need to call me miss, just call me Tifa. By the way, are you twins? Cause you look rather identical. Except for your hair, of course," she looked back and forth at me and Kairi, it took quite a long time and it felt like forever.

Kairi answered it, I guessed she also felt uncomfortable from the staring. "Um… Yes, we're twins."

"No wonder. Here's your schedules," she handed us the schedules, "and I have made you have the same schedule. Hope you like studying here."

I smiled at her, Sora's right. She's nice.

A nice start for the day, we meet Sora, who's super-nice and not to mention a bit cute (okay I'm lying, I admit, he's really cute), and there's nothing bad has happened… yet.
