Chapter One: WELCOME TO MONOCHROME, LUCKY! [DAY ONE]

"Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments."

-Henry Ward Beecher

"Lucky Smith," The Headmaster calls out my name and I immediately push past other first years and rush onto the stage. My heart begins to pound from the embarrassment and slight anticipation as I walk animatedly towards the Headmaster. I've never been good at acting nonchalant in public.

The Headmaster is a tall, dark skinned man with eyes of amber and long snowy white hair. He looks like he's going to snap at any moment, so I stand safe and unnoticeable distance away from him just in case. He holds the Kingdom Key out to me like he has done for so many others before me.

The Kingdom Key is a magical weapon once used by the Legendary Keyblade Master. Now it's used for sorting students, first years, into the four different houses of Castle Oblivion Academy. The four houses each have their own discerning characteristics. For example, people of the Oathkeeper house are pure hearted, intelligent, and friendly, whereas people of the Oblivion house possess dark hearts, think they're better than everyone, evil, and most of the times are sociopaths. Then, there's the house that every student wants to be in- Ultima. They're a house of wild cards- incredibly strong and good at what they do-whatever it is they do do. They can be a little snobbish at times, at least living with three brothers who have all gone to Ultima has taught me that. In fact everyone in my family has been sorted into Ultima during their years at C.O.A. Anyway, last but not least is the average house- Monochrome. According to my brothers, they consist of a bunch of deadbeats and unmotivated students who only strive to do what is expected of them. I'd rather end up in Oblivion than Monochrome. No one takes you seriously if you're in Monochrome.

I take the Keyblade from the Headmaster's hands and it is a lot heavier than it seems. I nearly drop it on the floor, but manage to keep it from doing so. The Keyblade begins to glow in my hands, until suddenly a silver light explodes from the top like fireworks. What is left is the words of my new house, Monochrome.

I gasp, disappointed, and try to fight back the tears welling up. The Headmaster, noticing my expression takes the Kingdom Key from my hands.

"Lucky Smith," He says, handing me a silver and white striped tie for my uniform (a white polo shirt, brown trousers, and a pair of brown slip on shoes), "for Monochrome."

To me the world has just spontaneously combusted, leaving me with nothing more than ashes.

I'm escorted off stage by a strange looking duck and towards the large wooden Monochrome table where my new housemates sit as they call the next person up. They all smile, a few of them even congratulate me for being sorted into the house. I try my best to smile as whole heartedly as I can, but I'm pretty sure it looks like I'm bearing my teeth viciously at them. I take a seat in between some kid with a mullet and girl with a pretty huge rack.

A few more kids end up getting sorted into Monochrome; two of which being a kid with olive green hair and a boy with a strange looking tail. Neither of them seem to be distraught about it either. In fact, the olive green haired boy grins and throws his hands into the air.

Was I really destined to be in Monochrome? Maybe the Kingdom Key mixed mine up with that other Smith kid? Or perhaps, I really am average? Maybe I don't have a pure heart or murderous intent in my eyes? This just isn't fair.

I slump into my seat. Not only have I been mistaken for a boy by the faculty because of my boyish looks-mainly my hair cut, my flat chest, and because my mother decided to give me my brother's old first year uniforms as hand me downs, I've been thrown into Monochrome. The only thing that can make this worse is if my family finds out about it.

"Cheer up," The kid with the mullet says, nudging me in the side. "This is the best house to be in… Trust me."

"I find that incredibly hard to believe," I groan, poking at my food which had mysteriously appeared in front of me after the last kid was sorted. Not even sweet potatoes and mash potatoes can cheer me up. Nor can this kid next to me.

"Yeah, sure it seems like the end of the world," The big breasted female next to me says, smiling, "But things will get better. You'll really grow to love Monochrome…"

"I bet I'd love Ultima even more," I hiss under my breath.

The mullet kid crosses his arms, "Most of them are stuck up. Just because they rock doesn't mean they should get all power happy…"

"Mmmhmm," The girl nods, "I totally agree Demyx."

"I don't…" I sigh.

"When you meet one," Demyx says, craning his head in their direction, "you will."

After a while of poking at my food and listening to Demyx and Tifa, the big breasted girl, talk, some guy gets our attention by slamming his spear against the table causing the few first years to jump. I slide underneath the table for protection thinking that this man, slicked back dirty blonde hair and brown eyes who wears a white shirt, a yellow sash, goggles around his neck, and blue jeans, may potentially try to kill us.

Demyx snorts at this, while Tifa tries to stifle her giggling with her hand over her mouth. I crawl from underneath the table, red faced, and take my seat once more.

"This 'ere is directed towards them first years. I don't need to tell you second, third, and fourth years what the rule are again," Beside me Demyx and Tifa nod, "First years, you are re… required to be in your dorms at nine o'clock and no later. Points will be deducted from House Points if you are. Proper manners are to be in effect at all times. Especially around us teachers. I may have a sailor's mouth but I don't expect you to be swearing your heads off. Ya da ya da. You are to attend the classes you are assigned each day. Cuttin' or skippin', whatever you kids call it these days is unacceptable. You are not allowed to go off grounds for any reason- unless given permission. Ye might want to stay away from the forest too. Some nasty Heartless, Unverse, and Nobodies are known to lurk in there. Lastly no fightin' with anyone- from this house or any other house no matter how disrespectful they may be." The man says in a thick country like accent, "Understand?"

"Yes sir," A bunch of us say in unison.

"Well now that we got them formalities over," The man says, grinning, "I'm Cid Highwind, your house representative. I'm sure y'all will have a wonderful time with the rest of Monochrome. Don't take what other houses may say about us to heart. They just don't know how to have a little fun."

"Heck yeah!" Demyx and a few others break into cheering. I'm pretty sure the other houses are staring at us funny.

A while afterwards, we're taken up to the Monochrome common room where we're to be given our dorm roommates. The Monochrome common room is a large room where white and silver furniture decorate the room. There's a fireplace on the far right hand side. There are also a few bookshelves here and there. It actually looks rather nice.

Cid begins to read off people's names and who they are to be partnered with. First is the girls. Tifa ends up being roommates with another black haired girl. My name is not called. Seems they really do think I am a boy. Lovely. I'm left standing with a bunch of guys who probably also think I'm one of them.

"Lucky Smith and Demyx Hollingsworth in room 12B," Cid says.

Just my luck.

I glance over at Demyx, who probably looks just as confused as I am. He doesn't say anything to Cid, instead he just walks over to the guy's hallway. I promptly follow after him and it's only after we get into the room does he say something.

"Aren't you a girl?" He asks, pulling at my short orange hair.

"Yep," I reply, "Which is why I'm about to go back out there and tell our representative that I am." I turn on my heels and walk out of the room closing the door behind me even before he has a chance to respond.

When I make it back to the common room, Cid is sitting on the couch, chewing a piece of straw. He notices me immediately and says, "Let me guess, you don't like your roommate."

"N-No… It's not that…" I smirk.

He raises an eyebrow at me.

"I'm a girl, sir," I say.

He bursts out laughing. "What? But they put you on the boy roster…" He keeps laughing, probably not caring if it hurts my feeling or not. I stand there in silently until he's done. "Ah, just stay where you are. There are no more rooms left on the female side anyway and I'm sure they won't want to have three people in their small room. Y'know how them girls can be."

"But isn't it breaking some kind of code or rule?" I ask.

"Mmhmm, but I'll go clear it out with the Headmaster. I'm sure he won't mind," He gets up leaving me alone in the common room while girls squeal from the side I should be on. I cuss to myself and head back to my new room.

When I open my door, Demyx is flopping on the bed he has chosen.

"Oh you're back!" He yells, jumping to his feet, "Are you leaving?"

"No…" I reply, eyebrows furrowing.

This year is going to suck.

Aeroga: Hope you've enjoyed the first chapter. It was a little short, I'll admit but they'll get longer as the story goes on. This will not be a DemyxOC Now, the event you've probably been waiting for. I'll be accepting ten OCs. I won't be accepting the first ten. I'll be accepting the most original/unique ten people send in. I won't accept Mary Sues and what not and people who are just overpowered. If you sumbit to Ultima, just know, you have a lesser chance of getting accepted. Leave a review of the story so far with your submission or I will not even look at your character.
