Chapter 1

Sora's POV

I have to go to this boarding school way up in the mountains. Not like I want to. But I have to. After my dad died in a car accident, I was left without any protection from my mom. Don't get me wrong, she didn't beat me or anything. More like the opposite. A boarding school.

I never liked her, but I felt obligated to love her, because she's always been mommy to me. But now that I realized that she hasn't seen me has her little boy… I just don't even see the point of trying.

Right after dad died she started dating and going to parties again; it was like she didn't care he was gone. He wouldn't ever come back.

It took an hour car ride up to the big monastery looking school. It looked like a gothic castle from old Europe, which is funny because it's a Buddhist school. I'm not a Buddhist, but it was the only one that still had any room for new students this far into the school year. Ever since I learned it was a Buddhist school, I had this picture of all the students with shaved heads and robes.

But now we are walking up the huge steps to the main office, and all the kids look normal. Maybe even some I could be friends with. I was really worried about wearing a uniform, but it turns out that we can wear our own clothes, just so long as they aren't too tight or short. This seems funny for a rule, because it is a boy's school after all.

The inside of the school looks just as dark as the outside. Stone floors and wood paneled walls. Mom is saying goodbye. Guess she think I'm fine on my own from here on out. Which I am.

"Goodbye Sora. Be good." She bends down to kiss me on the head and ruffle my already messy hair. Then without waiting for a reply she turns around and marches away. Not even looking back. It makes me feel like a discarded toy. I shut myself off from those feelings. No use to think like that. It only will hurt even more.

I turn to the front desk and try to get the secretaries attention. She looks half asleep, like there isn't anything to do except star at the wall opposite her. Finally I succeed, and she gives me a list of my classes and my room number.

"Please wait a minute. I will call your roommate to show you around." She picks up the phone and dials a number. "Please send Mr. Asato to the front desk immediately." She hangs up the phone and fails to notice me waiting for directions.

Almost immediately a platinum-blond haired boy comes down the hall. He smiles and waves at me, and walks faster to where I stand with all my bags. Everything seems happier around him. The closer he gets the more I see just how beautiful he is. Gods, he's beautiful. I look into his aquamarine eyes and something in the bottom of my stomach does a little flip. I can't help but look at his lips when he speaks. They look so soft, and sweet… and I totally miss what he says to me.

Riku's POV

There is a new kid t our school, and I am his roomy. I was called out of math class (thank god) to show him around the school. I walked up to him and (surprisingly) he was blushing, smiling, and looking embarrassed at the same time. His sable hair stuck out in all directions, 'an he stared at me with big cerulean eyes. I couldn't get over how cute he was, just standing there with his bags around him, looking all helpless.

"Hey, can I help you with your bags?" He nodded dumbly. "By the way, my name's Riku." This time he managed to answer.

"My name's Sora. And thanks, that would help." I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic, so I grinned at him and told him to follow me to our room. Unfortunately it's at the back of the school, which makes it hard to get to class on time. (I'm always late to class). Instead of walking next to me, he walked slightly behind me so I couldn't see his face.

The room we share is kind of small. I dumped his bags next to his bed. I have the top bunk! And I told him so.

"Ne, Sora? You get the bottom bunk. The bathroom is across the hall, and… I think that's it! You can unpack anytime. Uh, sorry the place isn't cleaner. I'm used to having it all to myself. They don't usually let anyone room with me for some reason."

"Okay. Do I have to go to class now, or-"

"Oh yah! Now I remember! You get the rest of today free. No class. Lucky bum… but I have to go. See you later!" With this Riku slammed the door behind him and went on his merry way, leaving Sora in a mountain of bags.

Sora's POV

I can see why they wouldn't let anyone room with him. I mean, he's so hot that the shyest person would try to molest him! But I'm not like that. I'm not even attracted to him. I like girls. No exceptions. I wonder what his skin feels like… or how his lips would feel against mine… after realizing my thoughts were turning hentai, I firmly pulled myself away from them. We'll be sleeping in the same room tonight. I shiver at the thought, then busy myself with unpacking to keep him from my mind. I've only been in this school for what, ten minutes? And already my mind is going bad. Uhg.

It's already late, and I'm tired from all the stress of moving here. I strip down to my boxers quickly, and then hop in the bottom bunk. Damn, wish I could have had the top… The bed is big compared to the one I had at home. The sheets feel silky against my bare skin. I drift off to sleep wondering how my classes will be tomorrow, and if Riku will be in any of them.

I am truly sorry for the lack of plot in this chapter, but soon there will be one. I promise you. The idea of Sora going to a Buddhist school has been floating around in my head for a while, so I decided to try it. Why a Buddhist school you ask? Wouldn't you like to know? Actually, I go to one, and I find the concepts most interesting, even though I myself am not a Buddhist. I appreciate any and all reviews.
