This is my first ever story on the website. Dont hold back im accepting critisism! =(0__0)= Anyways alot is going to happen in this story. It's insprired by a few writers on here, so its pretty much same idea. Namine Roxas blah blah blah. yada yada yada and all that jazz. I dont remember the authors names but i'll be sure to check for chapter 2 and recognize them!
So...here goes noting! Literally...i really had no song or anything to work with. Im pretty sure i was watching wizards of waverly place or something while writing this. OKAY i will start story now. No really...now.
********************************************************************************************************************
"Nami!!!! Wake up! Come on sleepy head! Up up up!!! I made hot choco!!" The sound of my best friend Kairi's voice was like a ringing in my ears. Covering my head with my pillow, I grumbled, thinking about how every other person, err, well every other NORMAL person in the world would want to sleep in on their first day of summer vacation. But clearly Kairi wasn't normal. Still she was my friend and I loved her for it, no, scratch that, shes my sister. Well im her adopted sister. My father died in a plane crash, and I haven't seen my mother since she left for a cruise with a few of her friends from work, leaving me home alone. Thus, the Swan family adopted me.
"Namine! Come on you gotta wake up! Todays the big day! New neighbors!" Kairi was clearly excited. I wonder what made these neighbors so special? Out of pure curiosity I sat up. Kairi was already dressed in black leggings, a grey jumper, and a denim vest that she left open. Her red pin straight hair complimented the bland colors perfectly.
"Uhh love your outfit today," I could barely talk I was so tired, staying up to watch Harry Potter movies with Olette all night is a definet no no. "But what were you talking about before? New neighbors? Who?"
"Thats what were going to find out! Silly! Get dressed now, or your choco will be cold by the time you drink it." Kairi jogged out of my room into the bathroom.
I slipped out of bed making sure to make it, I was a neat freak that way. Went to my desk to check the time, 10:45 am. If only I could sleep a little while longer. Dragging myself to my closet I stared at my clothes, but all that I could think about at the moment was our new neighbors. Who could they be?
Figuring I could throw anything on, I went to open my window, I could see across the bit of land that separated the Swan residence from our new neighbors house. One of the top bedroom windows was right across from mine, so close in fact, that if I climbed on the little tree in-between and walked across the branch I could easily break into their house.
Going back to my closet I picked out a pair of light blue torn skinny jeans, and layered a white tank top over a black one. If I do say so myself, black and white together are quite a distinction, but its simple perfection. I took a quick glance at my hair knowing that I wouldnt have to do anything to it, it had a natural wave that I was happy to live with, grabbed a black knit barret, placed it just right on my head, grabbed my cell phone and shoved it in my back pocket, and grabbed my sketchpad and a pencil which I pushed behind my left ear.
I practically ran out of my room, in the hopes that I wouldnt get yelled at by Kairi for lolly-gagging (I never use that word so dont expect it a lot). To my utter surprise Kairi wasnt even in the hall. She was still in the bathroom. Wait, why? She's been in there for half an hour now. I hope shes not sick.
I shyly knocked on the door just to be sure. Before Kairi opened the door I heard a quick flushing of the toilet, something fell, and the thud of something being thrown into a bag. She gave my a big grin, and skipped away. She was hiding something, I knew it.
I let my mind wander as I brushed my teeth and drank my choco, again to my surprise Kairi was oddly quiet for Kairi. She just stared out the window to something far away, to far to be there.
By 12 we were on our way over to the new neighbors house. While closing the front door I felt the need to start a conversation.
"Hey, Kai. You okee? I mean, you've been quiet and you were in the bathroom for a long time, err, do you feel okay?" I didnt want to offend her if it was something personal, but she was my "sister" she could tell me anything.
"I dont know if im okay Nami. I mean. Ugh I promise I will tell you later. Right now, I guess im more anxious to be worried. Lets just meet these people. Kay?"
"Worried?" I was confused. She looked at me then rang the doorbell, woah. I didnt realize we were here already. It seemed like whoever answered was waiting by the door for us cause they opened it practically as soon as the bell rang.
A brown haired boy, about Kairi's height, maybe a little taller. Definetly taller than me, seemed nice. He was wearing tan loafers, flip flops, and a blue tee shirt. His hair, I could draw that for hours, it stuck up in every direction. He was cute, but in a baby faced boy puppy dog kinda cute way. His eyes were blue, they showed ambition. Adventure.
I stared up at Kairi who couldnt look him in the eye, she was looking at the floor. Then back up at him who was staring at her, clearly worried like she meant the world to him. I looked down, feeling awkward, because obviously they must of met each other. How else could he have such a look of care for her?
"Names Sora." "Huh?" I looked up and he was looking at me, confused. "Oh sorry ha, my name is Namine. Nice to meet you!"
"It's okay." His eyes flickered to my sketch pad. "You draw?"
"Yes, very much. I love it. What do you like to do?"
"I like sports. But I'd rather be a photographer."
"Photographer? What does that have to do with athletics?" He seemed full of contradictions, I could tell.
"I've always wanted to travel the world. And take note of what I see so when I get to where I belong, I will be able to show the ones I hold close to my heart." He looked at Kairi while he said this, she was still looking at the floor.
Okay I was done with this game. "Have you two met before?" I shot out. I HAD to know. It was eating at my brain.
"Yea Nami thats what I had to tell you about. But, I guess if Sora wants he can tell you with me. I mean, if he wants, it doesnt matter." Kairi said.
"Tell me when its best, obivously I know you've known him for a while Kairi. And I just met Sora, maybe I should get to know more about his life before I learn about your shared life." I tried to sound sympathetic but to be honest, I thought I sounded pathetic. Kairi bought it. Sora did too. I could tell me and him, were going to be close.
Just then a tall blonde boy came jogging down the stairs, singing to himself not noticing anyone, and walked down the hall into another room. I heard the tv go on so he I figured he was the culprit.
"Thats my brother. You can go meet him if you'd like, I'm sure he can introduce himself unless of course hes too lazy." Sora informed me while all at the same time chuckling, rolling his eyes, and shaking his head.
"OHH Namine go meet him! I'm sure he'll be nice to you!" Kairi said tisking at Sora. I walked inside past Sora and they followed me inside, but instead they went into the kitchen and sat down at the table, probably continuing the mental conversation they were having before outside.
I saw the light of the tv illuminating the dark hallway and the sound of music humming in my ears. It was actually a song I liked. I peeked my head through the doorway, and saw Sora's brother sitting in a bean bag chair. It wasnt the tv I heard playing music, it was him strumming his guitar. The tv was on mute. He didnt notice me, just kept on playing, eyes closed, focusing on the sound.
Man was he cute. His dirty blonde hair stuck up, but not in quite a boxy way as Sora's. This boys hair was more tilted and spiked up on on the side. He was wearing jeans, a white tee shirt and a black and white checkered bracelet. His barefeet tapping along with the beat. Thats when I realized I forgot shoes. Woops. Well at least I had an excuse, and hey I lived next door! Was Kairi wearing shoes? I wonder what her and Sora have to tell me about them. Does it have anything to do with Kairis mood? And her being in the bathroom so long?
Thats when I noticed. The music stopped, and the blonde boy was staring at me. But he wasnt confused or bewildered. He was smiling. Like he enjoyed my company. Like I was a long lost friend.
"Namine? Right?" His voice sounded as sweet as honey due.
"Errr yea..umm, I like that song you were playing. Say by John Mayer?"
"Yes I love that song too. Thanks. Im Roxas by the way. And I only know your name because Sora told me before we moved he that we're moving next door to Kairi and Namine. He told me all about you. So im not a stalker or anything just to clear the air. Heh. Of course I already knew all about Kairi. Shes all he talks about."
"He likes her?" this didnt surprise me. I felt like I was stating a fact.
"He LOVES her. And im sure she loves him. The way they look at each other. I only wish I had that look to give and to take in. Never has happened though. Not yet, anyway."
"Hey, I hear ya." I wonder why Kairi never mentioned either of them before.
"Me, Kairi and Sora all went to summer camp together a few years back. Kairi and Sora hit it off and they've been dating ever since." Roxas explained. Hmm...his name has a ring to it.
"That explains how they know each other. But they have to tell me about something. Im pretty sure it has to do with why Kairi is so upset all of a sudden."
"They told me the same thing. I wonder.." Just then his words were left with no way to end because of a scream and a loud bang from the kitchen.
When we got there, there was a broken plate on the ground and Sora was hunched over in the corner with his head in his hands, shaking his head. Kairi was standing there, crying.
"Sora.." Was all she said and then she ran out crying.
********************************************************************************************************************
