Hello c:
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters used, obviously :P
That's basically all I have to say here for right now, thanks for clicking on my story!
Hope you enjoy! c:
Riku took a deep breath, steeling himself against his car door in the slight chill of the morning air.
It had been years since he was last home. Destiny Islands had become foreign to him. Familiar, but foreign. Things had changed. Mostly the people.
Riku barely recognized people he was once friends with. He'd only been gone two years. But they were a rough two years.
17.
Riku was now 17.
He had been 17 when his mom asked him to come home.
He had been 17 when he finally cleared his mind, for good.
He had been 17 when he became himself. Again.
Only two years had passed. Yet everything was so different.
Riku had only seen people like Selphie, and Tidus - he even saw Kairi once.
He hadn't seen him yet though.
Riku had only arrived back to Destiny Islands three days ago.
Just in time for the start of the school year.
Today was the first day, and Riku was already late due to fighting with his mom over the matter.
He had missed the past 2 years. He only had 2 years left of high school (if he went). There wasn't much point.
Especially since he didn't really have any friends anymore.
Riku felt like an outsider in the one place he thought he would always be at home.
But, after much arguing and offensive comments, Riku had gotten into his car and drove to the high school.
He was standing outside in the parking lot, leaning against the vehicle while examining the menacing building in front of him.
Classes had already begun.
He was already late, so why bother showing up anyways?
Sighing, he began to walk towards the steps into the school.
Once inside, to his immediate right was the main office where he had to register.
Riku entered the office where a secretary was typing away at her keyboard.
Awkwardly, the silver-haired teen shuffled forward and cleared his throat.
"Oh! You must... You must be Riku," said the lady, taking in Riku's appearance. "Wow, how you've changed... You've grown up."
Riku stared confusedly at the woman.
Did he know her?
He was about to voice the question when she cut him off.
"Your mom called, saying you would be late. I've been close with your mother the past few years while you were away. We've never met, but I've seen many pictures and heard many stories about you. I'm Sora's aunt."
Riku winced instinctively at the use of his name.
He had successfully avoided him since he got back, and nobody seemed to mention him around Riku.
But he was bound to end up seeing the spiky haired boy sooner or later. He couldn't avoid him for all of eternity.
Riku greeted the secretary and was only half aware of the directions she gave him as a piece of a paper was shoved into his hand and forced him out into the deserted school hallways.
He shifted his aquamarine eyes to the paper, which was a timetable.
Riku let out a frustrated sigh as he made his way to room 109 - Math.
He was already dreading the rest of his day, trying to invent ways to avoid him.
Little did Riku know that the spiky haired brunette was doing the exact same thing.
OoooOooo
Sora let out a long sigh as he sat staring into space, allowing the monotone voice of his English teacher, Aerith, to lull him into a state of vertigo.
Just as Sora's eyelids were beginning to feel heavy, Roxas elbowed the brunette in the side.
Sora straightened up in his seat to find all eyes on him.
"Sora. It's the first day and you're already falling asleep in class. Not a good start to the year." Aerith said, warmly yet with authority.
Sora nodded slightly, allowing the wandering eyes to return to their teacher before he turned to his best friend. Roxas was just smirking, his bright blue eyes - eyes identical to Sora's - filled with amusement.
The brunette shook his head at the blonde before returning most of his attention to class.
Key word - most.
His mind was a little too preoccupied to be reminded of structures of short stories and themes.
Next period was lunch.
The sophomores had the same lunch period as the juniors.
Ri - No, that person, was a junior.
That person had only been back for three days and already Sora was bending over backwards to avoid him.
There had been a couple incidents in which Sora had seen that familiar shine of long, silver hair but the brunette had retreated immediately.
It was almost funny how once Riku and Sora were the definition of inseparable but now they can't even look at each other.
Most of the time, Sora was happy - no, happier without that person in his life anymore.
But, if Sora was to be completely honest with himself...
He missed him.
So. Fucking. Much.
It was weird.
Sora knew everything about that person - his secrets, his fears, his favourite things, what he loves, what he hates... Literally everything. And vice versa.
And now they're just strangers.
Now, they pretend they've never even talked to each other when in reality each boy knows the other like the back of his hand.
Sora thought he hated change before, but never had he hated something as much as he hated the loss of his best friend.
Welp, there's the first chapter up.
I'll try and get the next one up asap, but sometimes I forget xD
But please, leave me a review and let me know what you think so far!
I'd love to hear your thoughts c:
