Chapter 1 ~ Twilight Photography
I woke up; my head felt like someone just threw a ton of bricks at me. It was only then I noticed that I was on the sofa with a blanket over me, I looked over at the clock, and it was 6:23am. It also said it was Friday, I let out a sigh of relief, and it was nearly the weekend at last. I slowly pushed myself to my feet picking up the hundreds of photos on the floor. I must been up all night sorting them again, noticing this made me think I was a little more awake than before.
"Xion, Are you up yet?" I shouted knocking on her door multiple times until she answered. The door slowly cracked open where a small girl with short, navy hair appeared rubbing her grey-blue eyes. I scooped her up into my arms. 'Alright, let's get you ready for school, yeah?' I said to my sister as I lowered my head to look at her.
"Yeah," She smiled at me softly with a face that said I'm not quite awake.
It was 7:52am. "Xion, let's get pancakes on the way to school, I can't be asked to cook," I said in a moaning tone while fixing my hair. Xion stepped out of her room after dressing herself in a cute blue dress with apples on it. "Okay~" She said grinning as she skipped over to the sofa to watch TV before we left. I went back into my room and started to rummage through draws to find something to wear. I pulled out a blue pair of straight jeans and a white tank top. I walked into the living room as I packed my giant grey handbag up with my camera, purse and etcetera. I pushed a blond strand of hair out of my face. "Right, Xion you ready?" I asked smiling but breathing heavily from rushing. "I just need to feed Xylo," She said quickly jumping of the sofa and racing to the kitchen. Something soft rubbed up against me leg. "Oh there you are Xylo, let's get you fed" I said picking up the soft ginger cat as I walked over to the kitchen. "Nami have you seen- Oh you found him!" She said with surprise. The cat leaped out of my arms and into Xion's making her topple over. She stroked the cat gently putting it on the ground. 'I have to go to school now Xylo, I'll be back soon Okay?' She said to Xylo still stroking him. 'I'm ready now Nami!' She said grinning holding the straps of her backpack. I put a tan jacket on and picked up my bag off the sofa. "Then let's get going," She grabbed my hand and I grinned at her.
"I'll see you at 3pm you two!" I shouted as I waved at her and Selphie. 'Okay~, Bye Nami' Shouted Xion and Selphie in unison. I walked away from the gates and down the street towards Twilight Photography...
(If there were beginning titles they would be here.)
I walked into the elevator. Clicking the button for the 15th floor, where she worked. "Stop!" I heard a male voice scream as a hand appeared on the edge of the elevator door pulling it open. The hand was connected to something gorgeous, a slim, spiky blond with sea blue eyes. Unfortunately in the gorgeous thing's haste it ran into me, pushing me into the back wall of the elevator and falling on top of me. "Ow..." My eyes slowly fluttered open to see the gorgeous blond face only inches away from mine. I blushed; I was practically crimson, "Ah... Are you okay?" He asked pushing himself to a sitting position in front of me. "Yeah I'm fine, Are you okay? I'm real sorry..." I said flustered, fixing my light blond bangs and picking up my stuff. He began to help me pick up the stuff too. "I'm fine' He got up helping me as well. "Oh and by the way..." He trailed off stepping really close, closer than comfortable, He then pushed my bangs to the side slightly and immediately turned and stepped out of the elevator on my floor. I stumbled out of the elevator after the blond. Olette was talking to Kairi just outside the booth. 'Olette, Kairi!' I jogged over to them, waving as I went. As I ran I glimpsed at the blond that was in the elevator moments ago, nearly skimming his back. And I with two left feet only go hurtling down to the floor, surprisingly, to find a slim arm surrounding my waist stopping me from colliding with the floor. Kairi and Olette just watched me and whoever was saving me from the fall in utter awe.
I finally came to the point where I could open my eyes; I found that the same mess of spiky blond hair that had fallen on me in the elevator had come to my rescue once more. 'For the second time, are you okay?' He asked lifting me up to standing position, his eyes were hypnotizing, I could get completely lost in them. After being dazed for a minute I finally replied to his question. 'Yeah, thanks. I have to repay you, you've saved me twice today; maybe I could buy you coffee or something?' I asked fixing my hair once more, I said that oddly quickly like I was embarrassed or something. Suddenly he shook his head, "Just tell me your name," He requested, releasing me from his grip. "Namine, your name is?" I asked smiling at him. He turned away and began to walk. "Roxas," He said slowly. Roxas...
