How Much for happy

Chapter 1 Rainy days


"Sora are you getting ready", Sora's mother called from thebottom of the step.Sora of course heard his mother, but chose to ignore her, pulling the covers over his face and turned around to get more comfortable. It was Sora's first day going to a public school. He had previously been homeschooled for1years, and was as a result ahead, but he didn't have any friends because of it. He had beem homeschooled out of elementary school, because his mother didn't like the thought of him going to a public Jr high school, do to all of the excessive violence. Sora had asked his mother to go to a public, because he missed having friends. She had agreed to let him go, but heck he wouldn't have asked if he knew he'd have to wake up at 5 in the morning just to catch the damn bus.

Sora's door burst open, and his mother stood there in the doorway, with a sheepish grin on her face and her Sora like blue eyes beaming with joy. "Hey c'mon Sor Sor, get up or your gonna be late for school." Sora gave a loud, groan clearly annoyed, and with that Karu quitly left the room. Sora felt like crying. Who in there right mind would get up 'this' early in the morning? 'Morning People', Sora thought to himself. (That's how early I had to wake up, so I wouldn't miss the bus. It was crazy you'd be surprised how hyper ppl can be in the morning .Scaaary)

Sora got up out of his bed begrudgingly, and gave a wide yawn, stretching all the while, and he made his way to the bathroom. Sora looked at himself in the mirror dully, and scratched his head. 'Time for a shower' he thought, as he turned the cold nob, and adjusted his detathcable shower head. Sora always took cold showers on mornings like this. It helped him wake up, and it felt great. Sora stripped, and threw his clothes in his laundry baskit, then stepped into the shower. He shivered, but let the cold water have rain over his body as so he could get used to it faster. 'Yep that definatley hit the spot'. Sora smiled as he reached for the soap, and started scrubbing himself clean, Then reached for the paopu cream shampoo, which was in a yellow container, with a star shaped fruit on the front.'I love the smell of Paopu fruits', Sora thought as he began to lather it in to his cinnamon brown hair.


'Ugh school', Riku Harada thought as he fixed himself a cup of coffe. 'I hate school' He thought to himself, when in fact he hated home even more. It was so empty what with his parents always gone on 'business trips' and what not. 'Seriously where are my god parents'. He was atleast happy for the lack of a baby sitter, but then hey he was 16 (What a coincidence so am I) he didn't need a babysitter.Also didn't need a herd of fan boys and girls following him ever where he went, and trying to take pictures of him in theshowers after blitzball practice but hell that didn't stop them.

Riku didn't have to leave until aroun 6:30 for school, cause he already had his liscence, So he poured out the remainder of his coffee into the sink, and walked into his living room, plopped on the sofa, and used the remote to turn on the t.v. untill it was time for him to leave. The weather man said it was supposed to rain today, and frankly Riku didn't dought him. The skies had been dull and drey all week. He'd only hope the streets wouldn't flood, cause he had no other way to get to school, unless he walked, and God forbid he take the bus. So with that in mind Riku quicly grabbed an umbrella, and turned of his t.v.

Traffic would proberbly be busy today anyways, and the winds didn't seem to bad. Infact other then the grey clouds, and the unwelcoming sky, it seemed to be pretty nice out. Riku grabbed his rain coat, and walked out the door, making sure to lock it behind him.


"Destati highschool", Sora read to himself from his window seat on the bus. As the bus pulled up behind another bus, kids had already decided to start getting out of there seats. Sora simply sat there relieved that he'd made it to school in one peace. Honestly these kids were completly obnoxious, pushing and shoving to get off the bus. 'I've never seen so many people so anxious just to get to school' Sora thought to himself amused as he made his way off the bus.

He made his way across the grass to where he asumed to be the school entrance. It's where all the other kids were going. Sora had been here once with his mother, for his enrollment, but he hadn't really got to look around. He had his school map with him, so it shouldn't be that hard to find his way around. He still had to get his schedule though.

Sora made his way inside the large building through large crowds of clicks. He had heard that word on t.v. when he was watching mean girls with his mom. He didn't really get why it was like that though. Couldn't they all just get along? (Me: Yeah right).


Before Riku entered school grounds he pulled his hood over his head. He didn't want to be recognized as he made his way to his safe haven he liked to call the library. He wasn't particularly fond of the place, but it was a quite place to think, where not alot of people hung out. (I should know I use to hide there everyday)

Having made it to the library, which was conveniently enough his first period, He took his place behind the counter, and plopped himself onto the stool. "Oh Riku your here earlier than usual, whys that?" Riku turned around to face a green eyed brunette, sporting a pink jersy dress with a strap on one side and the number 3, with the word angel inscribed on it and a halo above the word. (Not like the angels team either. You know those dresses that're like jersys only the dresses). She was also wearing a nice white pair of K swiss. Riku looked up at her and blew his hair from ever his eyes bordly.

"Oh hey Aeris, I decided to walk to school today. Weather man says it gonna rain" Riku answer. Aeris stared at him and laughed. "So you decided to walk." She stated more than asked. Riku simply shrugged,"didn't want my car to get caught in traffic ya know". Aeris looked thoughtful "Yeah I guess you right" She said, and went back to the back room to get more books to stack on the shelves.


"Okay Sora Everheart heres your schedule." The secretary handed Sora his schedule, "I want you to have all your teacher sign it, and have your sixth period teacher send it back to me. It's important so make sure that 'All' your teachers sign" Sora nodded.

"Do you have any of your books?" Sora shook his head no. The secretary, whose tag read Ms.Ferrel, handed him a pass. "thanks", Sora muttered in a small voice.

"That's a pass to the library so you can go get your books", The secretary now known as Ms Ferrel explained. "Do you need me to send someone to escort you to the office?" Sora gave a small nod and smiled. 'Shy one' The secretary thought and smiled back. "I'll have my office aid escort you. He should be here any minute now, so why don't you take a seat". Sora complied taking the seat infront of her desk, and placed his bag on the floor. He sat there fidgeting with the hem of his sleeves, and rocking his feet back and forth nervously.

The office door opened to reveal a blue eyed blond in the doorway, with spikey hair much like sora. He had head phones hanging from his pocket, and wore a powder blue long sleeved shirt, and a pair of blue jeans that were ripped in different places. It looked as though the jeans were made that way though. He smiled, "Good morning Ms. Ferrel". Ms Ferrel smiled at him and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Mr. Strife I need you to show this new student to the library, and help him get his books, and if you don't mind help him out with his locker as well." She said, then turned to Sora who was still fiddling with the hemn of his sleeves. "Sora this is Cloud, He'll show you around the campus today, so tommarow you should have no problems getting around by yourself. I dought you need a week just to memorize your classes. (At my school you don't even get an escort, you have to already know) Sora nodded understandingly. Cloud stuck his hand out and Sora took it, "It's nice to meet you". Sora smiled. He seemed nice enough.

"Nice to meet you to", Sora answered politly and they made there way out of the office, and Sora followed what he hoped would be his new friend to the library.
