New Students and Meteor Showers
She stepped into homeroom with some sort of stride that I can never pull off, the graceful kind that only the snobby, stuck-up girls in chick-flicks can do. She introduced herself to the classroom, Mr. Xehanort, my homeroom teacher, right by her side. She spoke with a voice barely audible, like how I spoke on my first school day at my former grade school.
"My name is Namine Watanabe. I came here from Destiny Islands…" She stopped for a brief 5 seconds, and then added, "I like to draw." Without being told to she sat down immediately at the last empty desk, the one next to Olette Migami. She primly laced her fingers together and gingerly placed them on her lap, crossing her ankles simultaneously.
I was shortly awakened from my reverie as Kairi Igarashi, my best friend, snapped her fingers in front of me and shouted, very loudly, "EARTH TO XI-CHAN! ANSWER ME!"
I stumbled backwards on her living room floor, hitting my head on the coffee table that just happened to be behind me. I yelped in pain, and Kairi just simply laughed at me.
"What a friend you are…" I mumbled.
She heard this and scooted closer to me, giving me a giant bear hug. "I'm sowwy, Xi-chan. I would never do anything like it again."
"Thank you. And when did you ever start calling me Xi-chan?"
She lifted her arms off me and scooted back on the rug. "You know Sora Fujima, the guy whom I've had a crush on since kindergarten? Well, he started calling me Kai-chan." The blush on her face was clearly evident as she said 'Sora'. It's ALSO very evident that they both like each other, and Sora, should just ask her out. Or Kairi should ask him out.
"Back to the subject. What do you think about that new girl, Namine? She's in homeroom and biology with me."
"Oh, her?" I asked, very dumb. "Uh, I guess she's okay. But the weird thing is, she's in all of my classes, and the only person who shares all of my classes is Roxas." Ah, yes, Roxas. Besides Kairi, he was my other best friend, one who understood me a bit more than Kairi. We both loved sea-salt ice cream, we both played RPGs, and we both skateboarded. Kairi never really understood all of these things.
"Do you think she can be our friend? Like, maybe hang out with us sometime?" Kairi suggested. She was an extremely charismatic person-she is friends with EVERYONE in the eighth grade at our school.
"I dunno, Kairi. We have to get to know her!"
"Yup, that's why I invited her to sit with us and the crew at lunch tomorrow!" Kairi exclaimed excitedly. I, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.
"You…did?"
"Uh-huh! We first have to agree on whether she's nice or not, and if she likes everyone at the table. Then she can officially sit with us at lunch."
"Sure Kairi. Let's just get back to homework." We only had biology homework, and we were in the same biology class, so we usually work on it together.
My name is Xion Koizumi. I have black, raven-like hair that stops at my shoulders. I'm not very popular at my school, Lockhart Junior High (A/N: Hehe, I chose Lockhart because Tifa's great-grandfather is the founder of Twilight Town! She will pop up in the story, and the FF characters have non-Japanese names, the world is Japanese), but I do have some friends. Kairi Igarashi, my popular BFF, Roxas Okabe, my best guy friend whom I've known longer than Kairi-we were in pre-school together, Sora Fujima, and Riku Shiname. It's always been weird, having three guys at a lunch table and two girls. If we can befriend Namine, then the table will be evened out when it comes to gender.
I was over at Kairi's house, like I usually was afterschool (my house is VERY boring), and we would do homework and talk about school and life and love. Her adoptive father (She was separated from her parents, and was raised by her grandmother until she, meaning her grandmother, died. She was then adopted by the mayor of Twilight Town) would make the most delicious iced tea, and to end my visit we would kick back on the leather sofa in the living room and watch reruns of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, and Angel Beats!, our favorite animes. I would leave at 7:30 and eat dinner, wash my school uniform, do stuff before I went to bed, and then I would go to bed.
My bed is where I'm at now. My pillow feels frigid cold, so I turn it over and lay on it again. It feels warm, and I rest my head back down. I turn over on my side and I read the clock across the room. 12:53. I turned back around, shut my eyes, and attempted to doze off.
Suddenly I feel a cold rush of air against my body snug inside my sheets. The breeze was so cold it chilled my bones right through my sheets, causing me to shiver. I sit, trying to identify where the chilly air came from, and through the corner of my eye I see a flash of spiky blonde hair. It was near the window, and then I began to see more of that hair. I soon realize who it was…
"Roxas!" I whispered rather loudly. "What in the name of cucumbers are you doing?"
My room was on the first floor, on the left side of the house. Roxas was pretty tall, so he could easily peek through the window. "Do you wanna go stargazing? I bet you there's gonna be a meteor shower." He grinned deviously, not really understanding the fact that it was almost one in the morning and it was super cold outside!
I thought about it for a while, and then I exchanged the same devious grin. "Sure. Let's do it. Just wait a sec-I need to get on my coat and scarf."
I quietly tiptoed towards my closet to retrieve my uniform coat and scarf. Ever since December came the temperature dropped drastically. It was so cold every student desperately needed a jacket-there wasn't any kid in Twilight Town that owned a jacket, because the school just gives them one at winter. I slipped on my hiking boots, and I left on my pajamas, since the navy-blue-colored coat practically covered all of my body, excluding the neck-up and ankle-down. Soon, I was ready to go stargazing.
I placed a basketball under the sheets of my bed, along with a lot of clothes that were scattered on my bedroom floor, just to make it look like I was sound asleep. Then I jumped out the window (lucky my room was on the first floor!) and walked with Roxas towards a hill that was great for stargazing. We would've gone to the clock tower, our favorite hang-out spot, but we were sure the clock tower was closed at one in the morning. In Twilight Town, it never snows, astonishingly, so we didn't have to worry about getting our butts wet sitting down.
It was extremely dark outside, the sky a shade of charcoal-black. Roxas, however, could actually see in the dark, so he held my hand to guide me. He actually laced his fingers with mine, like we were on a date or something. The actual thought of going on a date with Roxas made me blush. Not that I'm into him like that! I hope I'm not…
"Here's the place." Roxas' voice broke through my thoughts and I smiled. The moon gave off some light, so I could see a bit better. He had led me through a forest and into a clearing with a small hill right in the center. We sat down smack-dab in the middle of the hill, and when I looked up at the sky my face literally lit up.
The sky was bursting with stars, some humongous, some utterly small, yet in my opinion I thought they were all stunning. I stole a glance at Roxas, who was, as well, looking up at the stars. I could hear him utter one single word, "Whoa."
My heart skipped a beat when he scooted in closer to me, to the point where his hand brushed over mine. I began blushing profusely. But why was I blushing? I never felt that way about Roxas. He was just my best friend, but…do I really like him?
My thoughts were, again, interrupted by Roxas as he shouted quietly, "A meteor shower! I knew it!"
I looked up at the sky, and there before me, was a meteor shower. There were fast, traveling lights, crossing over each other, and then disappearing somewhere beyond the forest. They were better than fireworks. Hell, they weren't even the equivalent of a light show! It was more than that. It was just…natural beauty.
Roxas was just as dazed as I was. I suddenly found myself tired, and I rested my head on Roxas' shoulder, causing him to make a weird noise. I giggled, and I soon fell asleep. As far as I can recall, I remember waking up under the sheets of my bed, in my coat and scarf, looking at the clock across my room which read 6:58. Approximately an hour till school starts. To top it off, it was Tuesday, my favorite day of the week.
I bet Roxas carried me home.
Gomen na sai! Sorry for the short chapter, it's just a little prologue. I promise longer chapters on the way!
Awwww, how sweet was it of Roxas to carry Xi-chan home! Is there something special between the two friends? Does Xion like Roxas more than a friend? Is Roxas creeped out by the fact Xion slept on his shoulder? Read on to find out!
Review, review, review! I would LUV if you gave me feedback. I'm also thinking of pairings, yet I've already figured out who the primary characters are going to be with. Any suggestions, tell me!
Btw, Xion said, "What in the name of cucumbers are you doing?" I had said this to my mom one day when she was throwing out some of my beloved Vlasic pickles that were in the fridge for MONTHS! They still tasted good!
Ciao!
