Welcome To Twilight High!
Chapter 1-Welcome To My LifeDisclaimer- I do not own Kingdom Hearts and it's characters. But mark my words because my best friend and me will one day own a company, better then Square Enix. (Ok I am totally dreaming. My best friend might, but my art would never make it.)
Well, I finally got this thing up. I had been working on it during school and my friends have read this chapter. I want everyone to know that my other story, Memories Come Alive, is still in-progress but it is going to be quite awhile before it is updated. Sorry. [. Anyway, here is my new story, Welcome To Twilight High…
His head crashed upon his crossed arms as his perfectly straight platinum hair gently tickled the top of his desk. What else could the silverette do? History class was boring him to tears and the lecture Mr. Strife was giving was just enough to make him commit suicide. Riku was your typical average 17-year-old teenager. He had kick ass friends, an art talent, and he was great at playing guitar. Let's just say he was one of the punk rock/sk8ter bois, but he was far from being emo. He doesn't have any siblings, but he considers his friends as family. He didn't really have a background that tells bad stories either.
Riku lifted his head up drowsily and looked around the room to see if any of his friends were actually awake, which was quite impossible. He looked to his left to find Roxas, snoozing peacefully with a tad bit of drool protruding from his mouth. "Heh." Riku had a devious smile creep across his lips. He tiptoed over to Roxas' desk, checking over at Mr. Strife occasionally to make sure he kept his nose in his book. He continued and when he finally reached Roxas' desk, he took one last look at Mr. Strife before putting a plan in motion. He grabbed Roxas' humungous History book carefully, opened it up, and then came a loud, SLAM!!!
"OH MY GOD! EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!!" Roxas yelled, unaware of what he was even saying.
Riku crept back over before Roxas, and more importantly, Mr. Strife, had seen him. "Roxas Strife? Is there some sort of problem?"
"No cloud…I…I mean, Mr. Strife" Roxas slumped in his seat and turned to Riku, suspecting he had something to do with it.
Riku had his head down on his desk and was slamming his hand on it silently. He was definitely cracking up and Roxas could tell, due to his posture and movements. Riku looked up to find Roxas glaring at him, but it faded into a warm smile as he shook his head. Riku was expecting revenge at anytime. Riku always played tricks on Roxas and Roxas did the same. That was one of the reasons they were best friends.
When Mr. Strife got back to his lecture, Riku looked around and his eyes stopped at Anna. She was content in her seat, taking notes. Roxas had a crush on Anna and Riku was pretty sure Anna liked Roxas, but neither of them had the guts to ask the other out. Riku had been planning for the right time to hook them up. After all, they would make a really cute couple. (Blonde Hair and very quiet)
Riku was still deep into thought and his expression was blank. All the while Sora, Namine, Kairi, Demyx, Zexion, Axel, Marluxia, Samantha, and Roxas were all zonked out. Riku could just see the floating "Z's" coming from each of his classmates. Mr. Strife lifted his head, averting his eyes to look up at the class only to find most of them sleeping. He sighed in frustration and slammed his yardstick hard onto his desk. All the Sleeping Beauties and Sleepy Hallows shot their heads up in surprise. "Good morning class. Today, in World History, I am going to give an important lecture and you are going to take a…QUIZ OVER IT TOMORROW!"
"Ugggggh! Why?!" The class complained all the way out the door as the bell rang to dismiss them to 4th period.
Riku was the last one to stroll out of the history class and he walked down the hall, blending in with the other students. "Riku!" He heard and stopped in his tracks.
It was Roxas, just as he thought, that was calling his name. Roxas made it to Riku's locker and was bent over, his hands on knees, and out of breath. "You… never wait… for me… you…doofus." Roxas said between breaths.
He finally lifted up and looked at Riku. "I can't believe Cloud is going to give us a STUPID quiz over his STUPID lecture. I knew I shouldn't have messed with him this morning. Heh. I stole his car keys and I was hoping that if I highjacked his car, he would not be at school, then we could've had a substitute teacher. Well, he sort of caught me. Let's just say that it ended in a very distasteful argument that I lost and it was like both of us had laryngitis throughout the whole car ride to school. I guess that pretty much put him in a veeeerrry bad mood."
"Man, you are always messing with your bro. It's no wonder he hasn't cut us any slack. When he is in a good mood and we're sleeping during his lectures, he usually lets it slide." Riku said.
"I think that our parent's deaths are still affecting him too." Roxas bowed his head, remembering a few months ago like it was just yesterday.
Roxas and Cloud's parents were killed. There was a car crash that resulted in fatality. Roxas had been in the car with his parents but he had thankfully survived, but his parents…they had been flung out of the car and over the guardrail, which they had hit. The bodies were discovered the next day, while Roxas was in intensive care for a leg fracture, neck fracture, and internal bleeding. Cloud never shows it, but Roxas knows that deep down, Cloud is hurting inside. Every now and then, Roxas imagines the scene randomly and it messes his train of thoughts up. Flashes of the accident usually rotated around his mind, causing him to grasp his head in desperation for comfort. He usually found himself curled up in his closet, hugging his knees to his chest, crying for what love was lost.
"Roxas? Roxas?" Riku waved his hand in front of Roxas' face.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry. Well, Anyway, Cloud is going to get an earful later."
"I really feel for you man." Riku patted Roxas on the shoulder.
Riku and Roxas walked to fourth period, which was art. They stepped in the classroom a minute or two after the bell rang. Luckily, Mr. Leonhart was an awesome teacher that let his students get a way with anything. Mr. Leonhart, Leon to his students, was Sora's brother. Sora, of course, was lucky to have an awesome brother for an art teacher. Let's take a look at whom Sora is…
Sora Leonhart, a spiky headed brunette who had quite a past, was actually a nice kid. His background wasn't a fairytale though. In Junior High, he was a punk kid that got involved with pretty bad stuff. This "Stuff" included drugs, shoplifting, and beating a kid so bad, he was sent to the hospital with head and neck injuries, almost paralyzing him. Sora is 16 now and he has cleaned himself up tremendously. He has made up with the boy he beat by paying for his hospital bill with his life savings and he has been extreeeeemly nice to him by walking to school with him everyday. The drugs and shoplifting are behind him and he has been out of rehab for a year. Sora and Leon's parents are divorced and Sora lives with his mom while Leon is on his own. Of course, Leon has offered time and time again to take Sora in, but Sora refuses to go because he had to take care of his mom. Their parent's divorce was what sparked the bad streak in Sora in the first place. Their dad is in jail for homicide and arson, so Sora never sees him. Life with the Leonharts was not like life in paradise.
Now that you have an Idea of who Sora is, let's take a look at what happens in art class…
Roxas and Riku took their seats at the tables. Roxas sat next to Anna, his crush, and she blushed when she glanced over at him. Riku sat next to Namine, a blonde girl who was excellently talented at art. Riku really liked her, but he was afraid that she would think he was a freak of some sort.
The art class consisted of Anna, Namine, Samantha, Riku, Roxas, Axel, Zexion, and Sora. The only talented students were Anna, Namine, Samantha, Riku, and Roxas. Zexion was Samantha's annoying brother that was a total emo. Samantha, of course, was a girl who got hyper often. Get her together with her best friend Anna and you will have two laughing hyper spazzes. Axel was Samantha's crush and she had hoped to one-day feel his warm arms around her. He had crimson red spiky hair, purple tear drop tattoos under his eyes, and he had a great personality. Not to mention that he was a total pyromaniac.
"Ok class. I have a special guest here today to show us some of her art techniques that led her artwork to galleries throughout Twilight Town. I thought that it would be a good idea if we tried a little bit of her techniques. Please welcome, Yuffie Koiyama." Leon stepped aside to let Yuffie have the floor.
"Hello. I just want to say that I try to have fun with my art and I think art is as important as P.E…or Band or…you know what who cares? You guys just want to have fun with art right?"
"Yeah!" The class answered loud but it was not ear splitting.
"Alright everyone, you will all need an old button up shirt and rubber gloves."
The class went to the closet, wondering what the insane woman had in mind. When they all returned, with gloves and old shirts, Yuffie had wheeled in a humungous canvas with colorful balloons pinned all over it. "Now, please make an orderly line and…nobody gets hurt." Yuffie pulled out a dart as she said the last part. Everyone gasped and took one step back. "I am just goofing around. Come back over here so I can hand you all a dart." She laughed along with the students. Everyone lined up vertically in front of the canvas, as instructed, and she handed each of them a pointy dart.
"Now for the real fun. You. Um…Riku right?" She looked at Riku, who was the first one in line.
"Yeah."
"Please throw your dart at the canvas."
Riku did as he was told and threw the dart. When the dart hit the balloon, it was replaced by a splash of blue paint.
The class gawked at the affect and the whole line had thrown a dart at the canvas, except Axel. He was the last one.
Axel stared at the dart for a second and a smirk appeared on his lips. "Ha. You think that is cool, just watch this."
Axel engulfed the dart in flames and tossed it at the canvas. The whole canvas caught on fire and Axel just stood there, watching everyone scatter to put it out. He scooted away slowly. "Whoops. I am so sorry. I didn't even realize what I was doing." Axel rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
He stole a glance at Samantha to find her hiding her chuckles with her hand. Axel blushed a deep red. "Uh…Ok, I guess we will try something else tomorrow." Yuffie and Leon had put out the last bit before the bell rang.
Axel had walked to his locker when Kairi stopped to talk to him. "So, Axel. I heard you about burned down the school. If you want to impress somebody, why don't you just jump off the tower and die." Kairi skipped off, leaving Axel.
He slammed his locker and bowed his head. He leaned his head against his locker, facing it, and beat his fists on it. Why me? I hate my life." Axel felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around sharply, expecting Kairi. "Just leave me…" Samantha jumped at his harsh reaction. His eyes were dark and cold but faded back to their normal warm aqua/green color. "Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"
"It's okay. I just wanted to see if you were alright."
"Not really. My life sucks as usual and it is making me want to commit suicide." Axel rubbed his temples.
"Don't say that. I'm the one who has a terrible life. I can't find any guy to love me, I am not pretty, and everything bad happens to me. The only thing good in my life is my caring and loving friends and family." Samantha turned and leaned against a locker next to Axel. A wave of pain hit her and stuck under her eyes and above her eyes. "Ugggh! I have a major sinus head ache." Samantha said.
"Do you need to go to the nurse?"
"No. I should be fine. I have had sinus headaches on and off all day." Samantha rubbed above her eye.
"I think we should go to lunch." She said, smiling up at Axel. "y-yeah." Axel stuttered because Samantha had smiled so suddenly at him.
Sadly, the first step Samantha took was her last as she fell dizzily to the floor. But, she didn't feel the hard cold floor beneath her head. Instead, she felt warm arms holding her. She began to close her eyes, signing that she was becoming unconscious. "Shit! What is wrong with her?" Axel put his hand over her forehead and found out that she was burning up.
Axel picked her up and ran down to the nurse's office.
"What happened?" the nurse asked frantically. "She complained of a sinus headache and she fell unconscious. We were getting ready to walk to lunch when it happened. She said that she has had sinus headaches on and off all day."
The nurse gestured Axel to lay Samantha on the bed. Axel did so and he sat in a nearby chair. The nurse examined her and said that she must see a doctor soon, but for now, she was to remain in the office. "You can leave if you want, being since it is lunch time and you need to eat." The nurse turned to Axel
"No. I…I am going to stay here to make sure she will be alright."
The nurse left and Axel assumed that she was calling a doctor.
Meanwhile, Riku was at lunch, laughing it up with Roxas, Zexion, Demyx, and Marluxia. God knows what they were even laughing about. A few tables down from them, Anna and Namine were wondering where Samantha was. Anna got up and approached the table where the guys were sitting. "Zexion? Have you seen your sister?" Anna asked nicely.
"No. Why?"
"Well, she isn't here and no one has seen her in the past ten minutes."
"Come to think of it, Axel is gone too." Zexion looked around the lunchroom as he spoke.
"Maybe they're in the nurses office." Anna walked casually to the door so the teachers wouldn't think anything of it.
Anna felt a hand tap her on the shoulder and she whipped around, only to find Roxas. "Can I come with you?"
"Duh. Axel is your friend, so why wouldn't you come?" Anna said.
They were both running down the halls to get to the office. Just as Anna turned the corner, Roxas right behind her, she ran into something and Roxas ran into her due to the abrupt halt. "Hello Miss. Busler. Mr. Strife." Uh oh. Principal Mills.
Anna's Funny Freaky Mind
Anna: "Hey Principal dictator mills, uh…I mean Principal Mills."
Principal Mills: "Causing trouble again, are we?"
Anna: "You know it." She turned her head and mumbled, "I am probably going to be expelled just for running."
Principal Mills: "What was that?"
Anna: "Nothing" She rubbed the back of her head
Principal Mills: "I don't know what you're up to, but I know it isn't good." He turned on his stiletto heel and Anna started to mock him while flipping him the bird. She heard click click click from his stilettos all the way down the hall.
Anna: (Mockingly) "I don't know what you're up too…AH UP YOURS EVIL DICTATOR!!!" She did the "up-yours" signal
Anna's Freaky Funny Mind End
Anna only wishes that that would happen, but she is a good girl, for now anyway.
"Miss. Busler? Miss. Busler? MISS BUSLER!"
Anna snapped out of her really deprived mind bubbles. "Sorry Principal Mills, but I have to use the bathroom and Roxas was going to the nurse because he has a…a…a headache. Yeah. That's it. A headache."
"Hmpf. I still think you are both up to no good." He walked casually clicking his realistic stiletto shoes all the way down the hall. "Dick!" They both said sharply.
Anna looked over at Roxas and nodded her head. Then they both took off down the hall again, nearing the office door.
So, what did you think of the story so far? This is a redo of the chapter because someone asked me nicely(thank you to the reviewer) if I could put a tad bit better description of some things. Principle Mills is a real principal at a real school, my school in fact. I don't think I will have him in this story for very long though. I don't like his character too much. As far as the other two OC characters, I am Samantha and Anna is my real best friend. We are just real people turned into Kingdom Hearts characters. I know this was a little confusing before, so I sort of cleared things up, I hope. Thanks again for taking the time to read chapter 1. Chapter 2 will be up soon. I promise.
