TheScene01 here. This is my first KH Fanfiction. So you know the pairing is a Riku x OC pairing. No flames but I appreciate constructive criticism. Enjoy!

A/N: This is a KH Fanfiction. It's a High School one but I put a bit of realism into it to spice it up but there will be anime WTF moments that we all love. Also there will be other side pairings besides the main pairing of Riku x Daria.

Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING except for my OCs. There are some characters in here that are not mine. They are the OCs of SkyWolf77. Thanks for letting me use them!

Summary: Riku loses his long time crush, Kairi to his best friend, Sora. A year passes and Sora and Kairi's relationship is as strong as ever. Riku on the other hand has given up on love. At this time a new student enters their school, Twilight High School. Her past is shrouded in mystery. Soon after they meet, Riku forms a special friendship with her. As she shares her stories with him the new girl, Daria teaches Riku that only he can carve his own path. As they grow closer Riku develops strong emotions for Daria. But many want to know: who is Daria? Will she trust her new friends enough to tell them the mystery of her past?

Chapter 1

A silver haired boy sat on the steps to the entrance of Twilight High School waiting for a certain redhead. Riku always liked Kairi. She was one of the nicest girls anyone would ever meet, She had beautiful crystal blue eyes. Today was the day he would confess to Kairi and hopefully she would return it. She had to. Riku stood as Kairi approached, holding hands with his best friend, Sora. Sora had brown spiked hair and deep blue eyes. Riku's heart dropped when he located their hands interlocked together.

"Hey, Riku!" Sora beamed.

Riku nodded. "Hey, Sora. Kairi."

"Riku we have a surprise and since you're our best friend we wanted you to be the first to know..." Sora and I are together." Kairi smiled.

Riku was speechless and felt low. He felt like his heart was ripped straight from his chest and shattered to shards of once was. It was hard to hear what he just did.

"Congratulations," he forced out.

"Thanks," They beamed and entered the school leaving Riku there. Now he understands why people grieve for their other half so much.

One Year Later...

"C'mon! You're gonna be late! I'll be speeding there at this rate!" the blonde college student called.

He had vibrant blue eyes and blonde hair with a growing slight mustache and a few piercings in his left ear.

"Just hunch it!" the brunette called as she jumped into the Jaguar and slammed the door shut.

Meanwhile at Twilight High School...

"Did you hear?"

"What?"

"Tidus and Yuna!"

"Finally got together?!"

"Today makes a year for Kairi and Sora!"

"...cute couple!"

The voices blended in together as Riku walked down the hall filled with loitering students. As he entered the class he dumped his books on to his desk and sighed. Today makes one year for Sora and Kairi, huh? Well, that's just great and all but he wasn't into the romantics. Not anymore anyways.

"Hey, Riku!" Sora called, waving happily as he entered the classroom.

"Hey, Sora," Riku greeted, giving a slight wave.

"Did you hear? Tidus and Yuna finally got together!" Sora beamed.

"How could I not?" Riku replied sarcastically. "It's all over the school."

"Oh, haha. No need to be sarcastic Riku." Sora laughed.

"So what's the latest event coming from Kairi?" Riku asked.

It was a daily routine. Sora and Riku would exchange greetings and then Sora would ramble on about the latest piece of gossip Kairi told him about. Kairi was like a walking news update but at least she never stretched the truth.

"Well," Sora began. "From what Kairi gathers there's going to be a new student in the school...today I think..."

Riku laughed. "You think?"

"I can't remember when she said it would be," Sora admitted, embarrassed.

"Thought so," Riku laughed.

Meanwhile at the office...

"For the fifth time I'm the new student here. Look at the transcripts! I'm the transfer student from Flora High School!" the brunette girl raised her voice.

"Oh, here it is. Uh, what's your name again?" the elderly woman behind the reception desk asked.

The brunette girl sighed irritated. How could this day get any worse?

"It's Daria! For the fifteenth time! That's D-A-R-I-A. DARIA!" she said, exasperated.

Demyx poked his head in as the receptionist gave Daria the things she needed. He smiled at the girl. The girl had brown hair that ended at her shoulder blades and sky blue eyes. She stood at a height of five foot three and had fair skin. She wore black skinny ripped jeans, a lime green tank top under a dark green button up shirt, and a black and purple jacket over it. She also wore black boot converses with fluorescent colors. In Demyx's eyes she was the spitting image of Roxan except for the fact that Roxan had pale blonde hair. It was a bit unnerving. But hey, Roxan and Luxord really wasn't kidding when they said that they're cousin was like a twin of Roxan. They are even the same height, same facial features, same colored eyes, and even their hair length was the same! So now the question is: Are their attitudes the same? As she exited the office he came up behind her.

"Hey, there! You must be the transfer!" Demyx said, happily.

Daria jumped and turned ready to aim a kick but stopped when she saw Demyx. She calmed herself.

"Jeez give me a heart attack why don't you," she said. "I was about to like attack you there man."

Demyx laughed nervously. "Sorry."

Definitely not like Roxan because Roxan would've already attacked without even thinking. That's an improvement at least. It's better than two Roxans, right?

"It's fine...I guess."

"C'mon, I'll show you to your class! I'm Demyx by the way! I know-"

"Roxan and Luxord. My cousins. I've heard about you." she said.

"Nice to meet you!" Demyx smiled as he looked at her schedule. "Looks like you're with me. C'mon, I'll lead the way."

"Not like I could," Daria replied, sarcastically.

"Right," Demyx laughed, nervously.

Demyx led her down the hall and straight to the room. He opened the door and everyone turned their heads in Demyx's and Daria's direction.

"Hey, teach! Sorry, I'm late! I had to help a lost kitten!" Demyx snickered.

Daria stopped her heal right on Demyx's foot as hard as she could and Demyx shrieked in pain.

"What he means is he was showing me my class which is this exact location," Daria said as she dug her heal deeper into Demyx's foot causing him to whine. "No kittens here."

Daria handed her slip to Cid Highwind. Cid Highwind was the uncle of Sora and Roxas Hikaru; and also the uncle of Cloud Strife. He was the mathematics teacher but also a homeroom teacher as well.

"So you're the transfer student. You look like your cousin and resemble your brother. Why don't you introduce yourself. You're a big girl." Cid said as he sat down at his desk. "Dara Hikaru, right?"

"It's Daria Hikari. That's with an I at the end." Daria corrected.

Demyx sat with Axel and the others which consisted of Roxas, Sora, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Tidus, and Yuffie. Daria sat diagnol to Riku and next to Axel.

"Hi!" Sora chirped. "I'm Sora! Nice to meet ya!"

"Daria," she said and picked up a book to read.

"Daria I have a question." Demyx said, leaning to see her.

"What could it possibly be. If it's anything to do with me and Roxan then zip it. I've already heard it all within only the first thirty minutes I stepped foot into this Town." Daria said not even looking up from her book.

"Actually...I was wondering where you're from? You can't be from the islands or Hollow Bastion. And definitely not a Radiant Garden or Port Royal kind of girl." Demyx said.

"How would you know that? For all your knowledge I could be from Halloween Town and you wouldn't know." Daria said, giving a dark look.

"Um..."

"Kidding. I'm from Flora Flourence. Hence the name of the school I transferred from: Flora High School." Daria said.

"What is so facinating about that book?" Axel asked.

"That's for me to know and you to stay oblivious about," Daria answered.

"That's rude," Namine said.

"Every book tells a story and in every story lies a message. What you decipher the message to be is totally up to you." Daria said, closing the book.

"The name's..."

"Axel. Senior. Pyromaniac. Likes to blast your music and you are currently dating Roxan. A.K.A. my cousin." Daria said. "I've got it memorized."

"Now that's not fair! How'd you know?" Axel asked, totally miffed that he couldn't pull the usual line he does on all the new people he meets.

"Please," Daria rolled her eyes. "I'd have to be retarded if I didn't know who you were by Roxan's general description. You have no idea how hard it was to get her to shut up about you when you guys first got together. I think I know more about you than I do anyone else and that's kinda scarey. If I have to sit and listen through another one of 'Axel and Roxan's daily life of love and drama' I swear I'm gonna kill myself."

"Wow," Sora said as the others laughed.

Then Daria got a text from Will that said: I know you just said you were going to kill yourself. So help me if you do that again I will hijack you and bring you back to Flora Flourence and never return you! Don't try denying it! Haha. :P

Axel looked and read who it was from. His eyes widened in recognition as Daria texted Will back: How do you do that?! It's freaky ya know? And please abduct me now! I miss you all already! :(

"You know Will?" Axel asked.

"Yeah, we grew up together," Daria answered.

"Oh, so you're that Daria." Axel said.

"Yes, I'm the Daria that your cousin, Will no doubtedly talked to you about."

"How did you-"

"She talked about you a lot. It was kinda cute." Daria answered the unfinished question.

Then the bell rang.

"Well, hate to chat and run...actually I don't quite care. See ya." Daria said, giving the peace sign and leaving the room.

"So you guys all know the plan for after school, right?" Demyx asked.

"Please we all got it. It'll be the best Friday ever!" Kairi beamed.

"Alright then. Lets do get this day over with!" Demyx cheered.

"Everyone got permission from their parents?" Riku asked.

"Yep," everyone answered.

Daria sighed at Saix's ranting.

"Class I must say I am very disappointed in many of you. What about the genius mind of Shakespear do you imbiciles not understand?! Daria got a perfect paper on the test and she was unprepared for it! Class for those of you who got a B or higher grade on the test congradulations you get the rest of the class to yourself. For those of you who didn't you have to write a five hundred worded essay on the message being conveyed in Romeo and Juliet in perfect format." Saix announced.

The students who failed groaned.

"Also, we'll be started on the wonderful mind of Edgar Allen Poe on Monday so bring your literature books." Saix said. "Now those of you who failed get started. NOW!"

That prompted the ones who didn't pass the test to hurrily start writing their thought about the message in Romeo and Juliet. Daria felt bad for the poor suckers. This school just had the same material her old school already taught her. Oh, joy. Will needs to kidnap her like now! School is a bore.

The only thing Daria could while getting out of Twilight High was thank god! But then that was down the drain when Luxord didn't pick her up. Just great. This was sure an interesting first day.
