Author's Note: So this here is my sequel... er prequel? Spinoff? Anyway, it takes place in the same universe as Rainy Day. But this time it's Riku and Sora's story and it takes place 10 months before Axel and Roxas. Enjoy. ^^


Riku always hated the first day of school. Luckily for him though, this would be his last first day. This year he was a senior and once he graduated, he was done. No way was he going to college. He'd had his fill of teachers and homework. Not that he was a bad student, but all these years of working so hard had taken their toll. If he did go to college, he'd be lucky to pass a single class. Quite simply he was burned out.

He looked up at the school and sighed, "This is it old friend. If I never have to walk through your doors again, it'll be too soon," he slung his bag over his shoulder and trudged up the stairs and through the front door just as he had for the last three years. He looked down at his class schedule, "Math. Of course. Well, at least I'll get it over with first everyday." He made his way to the same locker he'd had for the three previous years. He undid the lock and threw his bag inside, then made his way to his first class. He looked around before entering. All the faces he'd grown accustomed to sat before him. Same old, same old. But then, someone caught his eye. A boy in the back. He didn't recognize him. Riku was sure he knew all the students in his class. Not personally, but at least knew their names. This boy had light brown spiky hair and seemed to be nervous as he sat staring at his desk, not talking to anyone. The unfamiliar face peaked Riku's interest. He sauntered on over to where the stranger was sitting and sat down in the seat in front of him. He turned around to face the brunette, "I thought I knew everyone in this class, but I just can't seem to place you."

A bit startled, the other boy jumped, then looked up at Riku, "Oh, hi. Um, I'm new here. My name's Sora."

"New? So that's why I didn't recognize you! And here I thought I was loosing my touch. Well, nice to meet you. Not sure if you're gonna like it here or not. I suppose it's like any other high school in the world. Dull classes, boring teachers, cliché clicks, the usual."

Sora rubbed the back of his head and grinned, "Heh. Shouldn't be too hard to fit in then, huh?"

Riku laughed lightly, "Nope. I bet you'll be sick of this place within a week," he grinned at the new boy.

"So, what'd you say your name was again?" Sora asked bashfully.

"Riku. Riku Orihito. And you said you're Sora?"

"Oh, yeah. Sora Azumi."

"Cool," Riku smiled at Sora just as the bell for class rang. "Well, hope you like it here," he said before turning around in his seat.


The day dragged on as Riku went from class to class, getting to know all his new teachers and what was expected of him from each. Finally it was time for lunch. He threw his notebook in his locker and headed for the cafeteria. He spotted Sora at the end of the line and hurried quickly over to him before someone else got in behind him, "Hey Sora!"

Sora turned to see who had called his name, "Oh, hey Riku."

"So how's your first day going?"

"Oh, fine. Like you said, this place is pretty much like any other school."

"Heh, yep. I can't wait to get out of here and finally move onto something more exciting."

"You gonna go to college?" Sora asked.

"Nah, I don't think so. I mean, I just don't think I could handle the classes. Not that they'd be too hard, but I can't take the monotony of it all."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I still think I'm gonna go to college though. You know, so I've got something to put on my resumes."

"Yeah, that's one thing to consider, but I really don't think I could handle any more school. Maybe if I took a year off or something, then I might consider going to college. So, what're you gonna have for lunch?"

"Uh, what do you recommend?"

"Definitely the pizza. The burgers are ok, but they're usually kind of tough. Oh and whatever you do, don't get the chicken nuggets. I swear they're made from Chinese newspaper."

Sora laughed, "I'll remember that. Pizza it is, then."

The two of them paid for their food and found a place to sit amongst the other students, "So, you lived here all your life?" Sora asked.

"Yep," Riku replied between bites, "I've never even been on a plane or anything."

"Me neither. My family's moved a lot, but we always drive. This is the tenth school I've been to."

"Wow! Seriously? Must suck," Riku took another bite of his pizza.

"Yeah, it does. As soon as I make friends, I have to leave again. My parents said they've decided not to move anymore 'til I graduate though, that way I can stay here if I want."

"Man, as soon as I graduate, I'm outta here. I'm dying to see what else is out there."

"Heh, I hear that everywhere I go. People who have been in the same place their whole lives want to move, while I'd do anything to stay in one place. I mean, heck, I've never even had a girlfriend! Er..." Sora blushed as he realized what he'd just blurted out.

Riku snickered, "Really? Never?"

Sora was thoroughly embarrassed now, "Uh, yeah...I mean, I never thought I should get that attached to someone knowing I'd just end up having to leave them behind."

Riku looked thoughtfully at his tray, "Yeah. I guess that would be hard. But hey, like you said, you're done moving now, so you can finally find a girlfriend. Why don't you hang out with me this weekend and we can go prowling," Riku wiggled his eyebrows.

Sora laughed, "Uh, sure, ok. So, what about you then? You had a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, a few, but it just didn't work out with them. They just weren't the one for me I guess. I mean, they were nice and all, but we just ended up being friends. I just couldn't really see myself taking it any further with them."

Sora raised his eyebrow, "You know, that's a fairly mature way of looking at things for a high schooler. Most guys your age wouldn't care about a connection or compatibility, they'd just want sex."

Riku laughed, "Yeah, well, look who's talking."

"Hey, I've wanted sex, I just didn't want meaningless sex."

"My point exactly," Riku stood and grabbed his tray, "Well, looks like lunch is over. We better get to class. Don't want to be tardy on our first day."

Sora stood too, "So, this weekend then?"

"Yep. This weekend, you and I are gonna try and find Mrs. Right. The girls who will give us sex as well as companionship."

"If I didn't know better, I'd say we sound like a bunch of girls gossiping," Sora laughed.

"Hey, do you wanna be single forever or what?"

"Alright, alright. This weekend it is."

The two of them headed to their last few classes of the day as thoughts of what lie ahead for them that weekend raced through their minds.
