A Journey to find myself

Chapter 1

Starting in Eighth Grade

There was a clear blue sky outside the window, giving a golden sheen across Destiny Islands. I sat on my bed, thinking about the day ahead.

I was only about 5'5 and my red hair, that only just passed my ears, was a mess. My blue pajamas had a cute black cat and the writing underneath said 'I am not a morning cat' I was only 14 and was starting the New Year in ninth grade.

'Oh well, at least there isn't rain,' I muttered to myself sarcastically. My violet eyes glanced around my room. It wasn't too flashy. I had pure white walls with posters of rock stars and pictures from when I was a kid spread across it. The carpet was a grey colour and clothes of all sorts were splattered everywhere. My bed was white as well and sheets were laid neatly across the top, courtesy of my mother, Kerry, and a wooden wardrobe stood across from it.

My mum loved white and decided to have the house decorated in that colour.

I got off the bed and walked to the wardrobe and grabbed a black tank top, white spaghetti strap shirt to put over it and a purple mini skirt with white slip on sneakers. Once I was dressed I walked out of my bedroom and down the white hallway and into the bathroom. I tried to comb the knots from my hair and put it up in a high ponytail.

I never wore my hair down, even though everyone loved to see me when it was, because I was still depressed from when he died.

I didn't even want to think about him because whenever I did, I burst into tears.

XXXFLASHBACKXXX

A teenage boy and Kairi were in a tight embrace down at the ocean.

'I'll be there for you always, Kai. I just hope you'll be there for me too.' He said softly into my ear as he held me tight. His brunette spikes stood up unnaturally, defying all laws of physics.

'I know but what about Riku? He was always our friend but now he hates our guts and hangs around with all the jerks' the red head Kairi said while putting her head against his chest. The boy towered over her and could put his chin on the top of her head.

'He chose what he chose and we have to respect his choice even if he is acting like a jerk'

'Okay, but what was that fight about earlier with you and him'

He blushed, 'nothing…'His dark blue eyes shimmering with glee…

XXXEND FLASHBACKXXX

He had broken his promise.

A crystal tear traveled down my face and my eyes started to water and vision became blurry. I wiped it away and said to myself that it was pointless to think of the past.

Taking one last look in the mirror, I decided to go to breakfast.

I walked down the white hallway, past the many pictures on the walls and into the kitchen. There was a large white table with white chairs placed around it Kerry was at the counter looking at a cookbook. She had auburn hair and light blue eyes that darted over the page of the book.

'You're finally awake, Kairi' she said with a soft tone, 'come and have breakfast before Namine comes'

I walked to the table in the middle of the dining room and sat down in front of the bowl of cereal.
When I had finished, I heard a faint knock on the door.

'Bye, mum' I said unenthusiastically and grabbed my schoolbag and opened the front door. Behind it was Namine, in her white dress and white sandals. A light pink backpack lay on her shoulders. Namine was about an inch taller than me. She had bright blonde hair and light blue eyes, but not as blue as his.

'Hey Kairi, are you ready to go?' Namine asked with a tone that meant that she was extremely happy.

'Yeah, I suppose' I mumbled uninterestingly. We started to walk in the direction of the school

'Kairi, lighten up. It's the first day of school. You're meant to be happy not all mopey' When I didn't say anything, just stared at my feet, she patted my back.

'I know you're still upset but that was three years ago and you should just move on and forget about him'

I nodded.

"I'm just having a really off day today." I said sweetly. I knew Naminè was right but I was still secretly hoping that he would come back, but that would be impossible.

The rest of the walk was silent until we reached Fates Cry High School for Gifted Students, but this wasn't a normal school. It was a school for kids with special abilities. Namine's was the ability to use Light Mind Power and read peoples thoughts, and that could get quite annoying if she used it continuously, but she didn't. She thinks people deserve a bit of privacy. She could also make someone lose there memory by drawing false ones to replace their old ones but she hasn't learnt enough to be able to erase as much as she wants and with more practice she could manipulate people to do what she wishes.

I was different to most people. I could use the power of the Heart. That is the least researched of all elements. With my power I can change myself into a being of whatever my heart desires within my abilities but I haven't learnt enough to get it exactly as I want it. The elements are Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Mind, Heal, Strength, Transformation, Language, Agility, Flexibility, Summon, Poison, Sickness, Teleport, Dance and Knowledge.

Not only are there all the elements to remember but there are also two categories, light and dark. For example, two people could have the ability of Weapons but one could have Light Weapons like the keyblade, a rare weapon of light in the shape of an oversized key and can only be summoned by the strongest light weapons master, and another could have dark weapons like the Soul Eater, a scimitar like blade that is in the shape of a dragons wing that can only be summoned by a powerful dark weapons master.

The school was a two storey cream brick building with huge front doors. Assortments of people were out in the front lawns doing ordinary stuff like it was the middle of term, not the start. Namine was searching for our friends.

'Hey Namine, Kairi,' a high pitched voice said from behind us.

We turned around to see a bouncy brunette with a large curl at the end of her hair. She wore a yellow dress with brown sandals and a green backpack lay on her shoulders. Bright hazel eyes shone with excitement. Her ability was Light Speed which allowed the people she wanted to move faster by skipping with her rope in a sequence for any amount of time and was very effective in battle. Once she mastered it she could use it on a large amount of people at a time

'Hey Selphie, where are the others?' Namine asked in her usual sweet and shy voice.

'They're still coming,' Selphie answered, 'you guys were actually early for once'

Naminè and Selphie giggled. I just stared off into the distance… thinking…

Selphie stopped laughing when she saw the pained expression on my face.

'What's up, Kairi' Selphie asked.

'Nothing… just thinking' I lied. There was a moment of silence.

RING!!!

My thoughts were interrupted.That was the bell for organization which was the time when everyone went inside to get ready for their first class.

'There goes the bell' I said to the others and sighed. We started to walk through the front door and towards our lockers.

'Leaving without us are you?' A male voice called from behind, 'and I thought we were your friends'

We turned around to see Tidus and Wakka running up to us.

Tidus' muddy blonde hair shone in the light of the hallways lanterns. He wore a yellow shirt that opened up at the front and a silver necklace with the blitz ball sign that hang in the middle. He had black overalls with one leg only reaching his mid thigh while the other leg reached his mid shin. Tidus' power was Light Water which allowed him to manipulate water. When he masters it he can summon water from the air instead of having to have the water in view.

Wakka was an amber haired blitz ball fan. He always wore a patterned blue headband and a yellow singlet and baggy black pants. His power was Light Poison. He could infect people with lethal or just painful poisons. When he could master it he could send poisons to a large amount of people without using too much energy.

'Oh really? When did we decide this?' Selphie said jokingly. This caused everyone to laugh but me, though it succeeded in bringing a small smile to my face.

We continued walking to our lockers which were conveniently next to each other. I pulled out the timetable that was mailed to me three weeks ago and grabbed the books that were needed.

"What are your first classes?" I asked

"Sport" Tidus answered.

"History" Wakka groaned.

"Art" Naminè answered.

"Training 2" Selphie moaned.

"I have a Free Class" I stated.

RING!!!

We started for class as soon as the bell sounded. While walking I could've sworn I saw movement from the right but when I looked there was nothing but several lockers.

Hey, this is the first story from me, I loved writing this one but I want to know whether you all wanted to read it. Please review and I don't own anything.
