Everything was going great, everybody was laughing, and nobody seemed to care about the t.v.'s above us telling us the daily news. I myself was too busy scanning the room for my boyfriend Sora. I hadn't seen him since the break, both our parents lived in Destiny Island and somehow none of us could seem to make the time to visit each other. Though we did promise that once we got back to Twilight Towns boarding school, we would spend most of the time together if not all.

So there I was sitting in the grand dining hall, at one of the long maple dining tables, scanning through everybody to see if a certain spiky haired brunette with blue eyes would appear. Students were coming and going, happily greeting people they hadn't seen in awhile, and some guiding new students through the building. I managed to spot my best friend Selphie, she had her brunette hair in her traditional curls at the ends and wearing a new yellow dress. Once she managed to make eye contact with me, a big grin appeared on her face, and I knew she a ton of adventures she wanted to share. She skipped her way towards me, still with that big grin.

"I have so much to tell you!" Selphie squealed, once she she got to where I was at and sat down with me.

"Oh really?" I tried to sound interested, but I doubted Selphie would even notice any hint of sarcasm. My mind was wondering where Sora could have been, or if there was any excuse that could cause him to not be here.

"Yeah!" She said before taking in a huge breath to spill everything that had happened in the last 2 months. "I met this really really really really cute guy! Though I don't remember his name, but it might of been Wakka or Tidus...OH! Tidus was the other cute guy I saw. I also found this really cute dress shop, thats where I found this dress at." She pulled on her dress, which looked identical to most of the other dresses she owned, to show me.

Selphie kept rambling on about every single event since the start of the break as my eyes kept scanning the room for Sora, and I tried my best to look interested. On any normal day Selphie's adventures would deserved my undivided attention, just not at the moment.

"Hey Kairi, are you even listening to me?!" Selphie shouted at me, causing other students to look in our direction.

"Sorry Selph, its just I haven't seen Sora anywhere and I didn't get to see him during the break." I explained.

"Oh, well I heard that he might a little late from Riku. Something to do with his Dad being in a business meeting."

"Wait, why did Riku tell you but not me? I tried to not get hurt by the fact nobody told me, not even sora.

"I don't know maybe they were afraid that would get really upset if they told you." Selphie mischievously grinned. I was taken back by such behaviour, what was she trying to hide from me.

I nodded and continued to search the room with my eyes, as Selphie continued to tell me the rest of her adventures. My heart sank down into my chest when I still couldn't find the familiar brunette. All the other students were happily exchanging their own experience with fellow classmates, some even going as far as exchanging gifts from trips they took with their family or a birthday that might have taken place over the break. Some of the girls were even with their boyfriends cuddling at one of the father tables. One girl dressed in all white, with short blonde hair, was leaning against a guy with blonde spiky hair, wearing a white jacket. The guy had his arms wrapped around her, and they were laughing at something when the blonde girl looked up at him in a position for him to kiss her.

Envy swan through my body, why couldn't Sora be here? My eyes quickly shifted away at the scene of the couple about to kiss. Selphie frowned at the lack of attention she was receiving. She sat back in the huge brown maple chair and gave out a loud sigh of disappointment. I gave her an apologetic look and decided to forget about sora for a while.

"So tell me about this guy Wakka?" I inquired.

"OH MY GOD! He's like such a God, with his sun kissed skin, well defined muscles, and bright orange hair" She excitedly responded, then continued. "He's on the soccer team at his school. Too bad he doesn't go to our school." She sniffled.

"You still probably have a shot with Riku probably" Knowing quite honestly that Riku thought she was crazy, and didn't fit his standards for a girlfriend.

"You really think so?" her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, why not up?" at that moment I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I looked behind expecting to see maybe Rikku or Yuna, my other best friends, and to my surprise it was a very familiar spiky haired brunette with blue eyes.

Sora stood there wearing a black jacket with some yellow and red on it, black pants and shoes, Holding flowers and balloons. My heart skipped a beat at this scene before me, and i could feel my face becoming red like my hair. He smiled his sweet smile looking at me with those warm blue eyes.

"Thanks Selph, for covering for me" Sora laughed a little, " It was a tricky getting all this past security"

"Oh my God Sora" Was all I could manage to get out, as i got up to hug him.

Sora held onto me tightly as I rested my head on my shoulder taking in his mesmerizing scent. He tried to carefully not poke in the back with the flowers, but was failing. I didn't care as long as he was here with me. His lips met the top of my head as he kissed me softly, like he always did when we were just hugging.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier." Sora whispered in my ear.

"Aww you guys are so cute!" Selphie giggled.

"Ahhh gross, you guys should get a room." this comment was made from the none other, but Riku himself.

I let go of Sora to turn around to greet Riku, one of my friends who I have known since I was five along with Sora. Riku stood there with long silver hair wearing a yellow and white jacket like vest, with a zipped up shirt underneath, and baggy jeans. He always had a bad boy look to him, which everybody at school avoided confrontation with him in fear he might actually do something to them. Today was different though, he actually looked amused.

"Good to see you too, Riku" Sora smiled.

"Isn't it always. Oh by the way like the new hair style, Kairi." I blushed at the compliment, nobody else seemed to notice.

"OH! So thats what was different!" Selphie Exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes at her ignoring the fact that my best friend was sometimes slow. We all sat down at the maple table and got caught up on the events that took place. Sora as it turned out helped his father with his business and getting it back on track. Riku had gotten a temporary job to prove to his parents that he was somewhat responsible. Selphie continued on about Wakka and Tidus, and how much of a God they looked like. Unfortunately for her Tidus was actually going to this school and happened to walk by. We were all laughing and having a good time until the whole room went silent as the t.v.'s above us flashed with breaking news.

"A serial killer has escaped from prison after killing four of his inmates."

"Oh my God" was all I could manage to say, too shocked about what I was hearing. Selphie was too stunned to even talk, which was unusual.

"He was originally convicted for the murders of five people, two children, and was sent to life in prison."

"How'd the hell did the serial killer escape from prison?" Riku commented.

"It is best to stay indoors especially at night. Children shouldn't be left outside by themselves, and shouldn't walk home alone either"

"We should be fine right? I mean with all the security the school has" Selphie insisted.

"Here is a photo of this man, if you see him contact the authorities immediately. He is a very dangerous person" a photo a very sickly man with long black hair, and an unshaven face appeared on the screen.

"There's a ton of people he could possibly go after, and trying to get into here would be too difficult to even bother." Sora reassured Selphie and I.

I sat there too shocked to even to even take it all in. With that everybody went back to their usual selves and the dining hall was once again filled with chattering students.
