Okay, this is the first time I've ever done this, so don't judge me too harshly pleases! I was thinking that I might try out my ability to write so let me know what you think! :) Also, I don't have an idea for a good title yet, so if any of you have any interesting suggestions please share them.

Chapter 1: How it All Begins

"Whoever came up with the whole 'homework' idea was evil," a boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes struggled to throw his heavy bag over his shoulder. "Pure evil."

"Don't be so dramatic, Sora." This came from Riku, a boy with long silver hair and aqua-colored eyes.

"You say that only because two of your teachers don't even give homework," Sora grumbled as he kicked his locker shut. "Do you have any idea of long it takes me to do my homework every ni--EEEP!" He stopped as a cold hand wrapped around the back of his neck.

"Hey, guys!" The culprit was a girl with shoulder-length auburn hair and blue eyes. She let go of Sora's neck with an evil grin.

"Kairi, what the heck!" Sora rubbed the back of his neck vigorously, trying to restore heat to it.

"Selphie threw a snowball at me, so I had to throw one back," Kairi said innocently. "And then I came down here to see if you guys were ready to go home and...well, you look like you needed to cool down." She put emphasis on the word "cool"

"That was extremely lame," Riku stated.

"It was." Sora no longer looked angry, but amused.

Kairi folded her arms across her chest and pouted. "Well not all of us were blessed with the talent to be complete wiseasses all the time."

"But," Riku began with a grin, "that was pretty cool how you made Sora squeal like a pig."

"Exsqueeze me?" Sora glared at his friend. "I did no such thing."

"Yeah, you did," Kairi said. "Anyway, what's new?"

"Nothing really," Riku said, but then his eyes lit up as he remembered something. "Hey, guys, guess what?"

"What?"

Riku opened his mouth to answer, but then he seemed to change his mind. He looked down and a pink tinge appeared on his cheeks.

"Dear God," Kairi said. "He's blushing."

Riku was usually the one who never showed any emotion. He also seemed to lack the ability to become embarrassed, a factoid that had been established back when they were in the fifth grade, when their friend Tidus had pantsed him in front of an audience during the Christmas play and he hadn't been wearing any underwear. (A/N: That actually happened to my brother XD)

"Riku, are you okay?" Sora asked, observing the pink shading on his friend's cheeks grow even darker.

"I'm thinking!" Riku blurted, a little too harshly.

Sora stepped back and stumbled. He would have fallen flat on his back if Kairi hadn't caught him.

"I...um..." Riku suddenly didn't want to tell them. They would start teasing him, because it was so out of character for him. Not to mention they would tell everyone they knew and it would be all over school by lunchtime tomorrow.

"Was there a sentence to go with that 'um'?" Kairi asked.

Riku took a deep breath. "Ithinkiminlove."

"Care to repeat that? You said it too fast."

Riku covered his face with his hands and groaned loudly. "I said...I think...I'm in love."

"Uh-huh." Sora looked skeptical, but Kairi went nuts and start jumping up and down and shrieking.

"Really? That's so AWESOME! Who is it?"

"A cheerleader?" Sora guessed.

Riku shook his head. "No, you guys, I mean it. I think I'm actually in love. Like, for real."

Sora still wasn't convinced. Riku went through at least five girls between two months. "Yeah. Next week she'll be the biggest bitch you've ever met, right?"

"Sora, let him finish," Kairi said.

"Well, maybe...I should introduce you guys to her," Riku suggested. "You probably know her. I've been seeing her for a couple of weeks now."

"WHAT?! You had a girlfriend for that long and you're just now telling us?" Kairi looked horrified.

Riku looked annoyed. "Yes, because before it wasn't any of your business. Now let's go, I'm supposed to be walking her home."

Sora and Kairi exchanged glance and then tagged along behind him, ready to meet his so-called "girlfriend".

Okay, that's the end of Chapter One! I know it kind of sucks, but hey, it's only the first chapter, and it's my first time trying to do this. Tell me what you think so far and then if people like it I'll keep going. I know there's not much to work with yet, but I didn't want to get too into it before I knew what some people's opinions were. So review pleeeeeeeeeez! .
