A/N: Hello people! ^_^ As you know I'm horrible when it comes to updating but hopefully it won't happen with this one. Anyway, this idea has been haunting me for days and I finally got around planning a whole lot of it. Please read and review! By the way, this is a SoKai fanfic if you didn't already know. By the way, this story will vary from 1st person to 3rd person narrative, depending on what I will find more comfortable to write in. I'm probably not making sense -.-
I'll quit rambling, enjoy! :D
Sora
I had woken up fairly early that cold morning. Usually the cold temperature makes people want to wake up late but I just couldn't sleep. Something was bothering me, I felt really restless. I crawled out of my warm covers and looked at the clock, it read, 3:00 am. Typical, I had started to get even more restless and no matter how much my sleeping hours reduced, I never seemed to be tired. Despite the coldness seeping through my tan skin, I walked towards my window and looked up at the sky above, it was absolutely pitch black. Even the brightest stars were concealed by the heavy clouds.
Ever since that day, the normal side of me had died. I could never get myself to be the way I used to be. I felt nothing but a terrible pain taking over my heart, shattering it in the process. Everything about that day was painful, every little detail was still fresh in my mind, the memory kept breaking me down emotionally, every single moment.
I sighed silently and quickly tucked myself under my covers, my cerulean eyes darted their way up to the ceiling and I kept staring at the swirly designs on the white ceiling, all of a sudden, I felt my eyelids become heavy and engulf me in a world of deep slumber.
Kairi
Something was really weird about that morning. I felt like I had been sleeping for an eternity. I was woken up from my slumber with an unbearable pain travelling up my arm. I cried out in pain but then I suddenly remembered that if I cried out in pain, they would definitely disable me for ruining their sleep. They never gave a damn about me, all they wanted was the money. I never got the love a child deserved, my day started with getting hit and ended with getting hit. I hated calling them my 'parents'. They were the most self-centred and heartless people on earth. I somehow managed to crawl out of my bed and head towards the bathroom.
I turned the light on and quietly closed the door behind me. I examined my reflection, mainly focusing on my arm, half of it was a deep shade of purple, bruised in other words. I slowly closed my amethyst eyes and tried to recall what had happened...
I was sprinting as fast as my legs could carry me, my arm was badly bruised and I had tears streaming down my pale face. I was scared of that boy with spiky black hair.
I reached my house and slammed the door shut while panting heavily, my eyes suddenly met a pair of angry blue eyes. My 'dad' was holding a leather belt in his hand, I gulped nervously.
"WHY ARE YOU LATE, KAIRI?" He screamed at the top of his lungs, glaring at me, the madness clearly visible in his eyes.
"Please... I-I-I'm s-sorry! Someone tried to-!" I pleaded, but I was stopped mid-sentence with the tears still streaming down my face.
I heard my 'dad' chuckle, "I don't care, you were supposed to be here and make the food and clean up! YOU UNGREATFUL GIRL! Now you'll pay the price!" He hissed.
I could see a leather belt making its way to my bruised arm, he hit me mercilessly on that arm on purpose. He enjoyed my frantic cries for mercy.
I pushed him aside and ran up the stairs, locking my bedroom door, I swallowed down a few sleeping pills and fell asleep.
I sat quietly, sobbing to myself because of the cruel memory. 'We moved to Destiny Islands a week ago, and I think that happened 4 days ago, that means I slept for 4 days or so. They must have come to wake me up by unlocking the door and by hitting me. Maybe that's why the pain was so unbearable. No wonder the room was in a mess.' I told myself mentally, trying to hold back the tears.
I headed back to my bedroom quietly and tucked myself back in my warm white covers, maybe I could spend the next 3 hours by relaxing.
Whatever it was, I knew that school was going to be living hell, like home. Everyone hated me! But that time, I was determined to make Destiny High a better school!
Sora
I felt myself leave the world of sleep on time as usual, in a couple of minutes, I was ready for school. 'Great, another boring and awkward day,' I thought to myself sarcastically, a little smirk crawling up my lips.
Since that day, the goofy side of me vanished in to thin air and I was only visible in black clothing. As a matter of fact, my black jumper, shirt, jeans and trainers were what I wore to school every single day. If I wanted, I would even dye my hair black too, however, that would make me look exactly like him and I would despise that.
While examining myself in the mirror, I quickly ran my fingers through my chocolate locks and stared at the reflection of the girl's picture. The girl I once loved and sacrificed so many things for, all to get a heart beyond repair. I turned around and took the picture down, tearing it into shreds and disposing them.
I smiled a sad smile and flew down the stairs.
"Good morning, Sora!" My mother greeted, pulling me in to a loving hug.
I hugged her back and replied quietly, "Good morning, mum," I slowly pulled away and then my eyes caught the clock.
"Damn! I'm late! See you mum," I rushed out the door and I could hear her voice from behind, "Have a nice day! AND, eat something, please!"
I gave a quick nod and strolled off, it didn't take me very long to get to school, because I lived near by. While walking through the isolated corridor, I bumped in to a figure slightly shorter than me, a feminine figure.
It was just like some mushy movie when two characters meet and all the books fall out of the girl's hand, "I'm so sorry!" She apologised, she looked really angelic.
My eyes met her crystal blue eyes for a split second, till I realised who she was, "H-hi Naminé."
She gave me a genuine smile, "Hi Sora! How are you? By the way, please can you tell Roxy I miss him? See you at lunch!" and then, walked off in the opposite direction, still smiling a small smile.
Naminé was and still is my cousin, Roxas' girlfriend, the two had been together for a year at the time. She was like my older sis, always defending me and helping me.
I quietly walked in to my class and sat next to the window, with no one beside me, mainly because I wanted to be alone. In a couple of minutes, the class was filled with some people I never spoke to and a few of my friends...
Such as, Riku- a silver haired guy with turquoise eyes, he was like my brother and I used to talk to him most of the time, Tidus- a blonde haired guy around my age, Wakka- A guy with a Jamaican accent and a great friend, Roxas- my cousin, who had blonde hair and apparently looked like me, and Selphie- the only girl in our group other than Naminé, she had brown hair with emerald eyes.
I waved at them and sank deeper in to my seat when I saw the teacher walk in to the classroom. What irritated me more was the stupid things some random girls would do behind me, such as tapping my shoulder, constantly calling my name and saying, 'he's hot!' I mean why was it so difficult to understand the sentence, 'I'm not interested!'
I tried to ignore them as much as possible but sometimes, it went way too far.
"Class, today a new girl is going to be joining us, her name is Kairi Panettiere. By the way, Sora?" The teacher looked at me with a smile on her face, "She's in your classes, so stay with her and show her around, okay?"
I nodded, still looking at the window, I really didn't want to socialise, I mean, I wasn't the best person to talk to after an emotional breakdown.
I heard some girls mutter things such as Kairi being lucky or they called her names, which I didn't understand why, I mean, they didn't know her personally. Too much drama, that's why I love tomboys.
Suddenly, the whole class fell silent and a girl with shoulder-length, red hair walked through the door. My eyes were glued to her for a couple of minutes, she wore a pink jumper with a pair of black, skinny jeans and trainers. She had the most unique eyes in the world, a colour between blue and lavender. And... Her face, it made me despise her. That face, I hated that face. Her eyes met mine for a split second, even though it was a short time, it was extremely awkward.
Kairi
I could feel my heart race even quicker as I walked through the door, the whole class was silent and my eyes caught the sight of a boy with spiky chocolate hair, 'W-what's h-he doing he-here?!' I heard my inner voice stutter, it was full of fear, 'The same boy from that night, the only thing is, he's dyed his hair.'
Then there was a brief moment when his sky blue eyes met my lavender ones. Wait...blue? I stared again to make sure I was not kidding myself. Could it be possible for two people to look the same with out being twins? All of this happened in a few seconds, but, it felt like hours.
"Class, this is Kairi," the teacher put her hand on my shoulder, most of the people muttered 'hello' 'hey' and other greetings while that boy turned his head to look out the window. How rude. Then the teacher continued, " Kairi, please go and sit next to Sora as that is the only seat left in the class, he will show you around the school too, Sora raise your hand up," it was the chocolate haired boy, Sora, damn!
I hesitantly made my way to the seat next to him and sat down, I tried to push the chair away from him as much as possible.
"Kairi, right?" he asked me, which startled me.
I could properly see his face, he looked exactly like the guy with the black hair, however, there was something about him that I knew was hidden. A hidden secret. I looked in to his brilliant blue eyes and gave a small smile, "Y-yes."
I didn't realise how close I was to him, "Move," he said bluntly. That made me angry, there were nicer ways!
I glared at him, and moved away. He was scaring me, why did he look like that guy and why was he being a jerk?
I mean, yeah I forgot about personal space but still!
Sora
Just looking at her made me go mad, and I had to spend a whole fricken day. How can two people look so much alike without being related?
I wanted her to hate me, just the way I hated her. I looked away and I felt a gentle tap on my right shoulder, "What?"
"I-I'm s-sorry," Kairi said with glassy eyes.
"You better be," I said with a glare, I hated this, I could feel guilt crawl up my body when I saw her tears stream down her face.
I don't know what came over me but I gently wiped them away before they could reach her chin, and then...
She pushed me away. Good. That's exactly what I wanted.
"J-just stay away from me," she muttered harshly, which actually hit me emotionally but I hid it with a sarcastic smile.
"That's fine by me, Kairi, or whatever your name is," I spat through gritted teeth, I hated her.
She glared at me, her violet eyes looking right through my sky blue ones. Tears dared to escape her eyes but she blinked a couple of times to get rid of it.
I looked away from her, the window was my only escape, the only little breath of fresh air from this confusing, messed up life.
RINGGGG!
The annoying sound of the school bell rang through everyone's ears, signalling for the first lesson.
GREAT.
