A/N Hey all. Behold, for this is my first Kingdom Hearts fanfic! I'm not much of a writer when it comes to...well, stories in general. I'm more of the thinking type. But, I hope you enjoy this! Oh, and I do not own Kingdom Hearts....though I wish I did.
Exam Euphoria Beginning
The ticking of a wall clock and the constant scratching of lead on paper were the only noises that were heard throughout the entire classroom. Aside from the occasional cough, the room was silent.
Silent, but not for one certain individual.
That certain individual was none other than Roxas. At the moment, he was doing a prepatory exam for his finals coming up in a week, and the poor boy wanted to be as far away from the paper as possible.
Well, part of him wanted that. However, let's start at the beginning.
Eight months ago...
Roxas was never a bright kid. Sure, he was kind, acrobatic (as seen on his skateboard), and good-looking as well. However, this spiky blond-haired kid carried with him two major flaws: One being his lack of social skills, and the other being his weakness in academics.
He was the strange one amongst the class, the one who would prefer hiding himself in a corner rather than playing with others, the one who somehow mixed up the alphabet with numbers, the one who thought that French people live in Tokyo...the list goes on and on.
Obviously, he had gained quite a bit of wisdom (and some common sense) through his constant experience with these wretched mishaps, but it unfortunately did not solve his problem with poor grades.
Roxas knew that he was not the brightest bulb around, but he never thought that he would be stupid enough to actually worry his parents to the point of sending him to cram school every day of the week. Looking back on it, he had nobody to blame from himself. After all, the teacher claimed that Roxas alone could cause the school board into making a letter grade lower than an F.
Still, he didn't have to be that mean about it. Thought Roxas haughtily.
On the first day of cram school, Roxas thought that his life was officially over. Going to cram school meant no prankster classmates for miles around, no free time to sleep, loads of homework, and most of all, the confiscation of his skateboard and skating rights.
Yes, his parents were THAT desperate to get Roxas learning.
It wasn't that Roxas never made an effort to improve his grades, because to his dismay, his effort hardly made a difference in boosting his marks. Sometimes, it actually served to lower his marks. Strangely enough, everyone assumed that Roxas never tried. Only Roxas knew that he was just plain retarded.
Therefore, when he first entered the classroom, he was completely prepared to enter four hours of pure torment. He was ready for the barrage of complicated lessons and rows of stone-faced classmates. In short, he was ready to die.
What he wasn't ready for a certain person amongst the troops of mindless work-a-holics.
Expecting an old and stiff teacher to be leading the class, what he saw at first was an angel standing at the front of the classroom. Roxas rubbed his eyes to make sure that the sight before him was not an illusion. However, the angel stayed. Heck, even the aura surrounding the angel did not dissipate, though Roxas eventually found out that it was just the lighting.
Writing on the chalkboard was a girl around Roxas's age. The girl, although wearing a formal cardigan and skirt, made her seem even more angelic. She wore black stockings and leather shoes, which were perfectly polished and neatly tied up. Her blonde hair cascaded down to rest just below shoulder level, but small tufts of her smooth hair stuck out that formed the shape of a halo. Some might find it weird for hair to make a halo above your head, but it only made Roxas think that there really was an angel standing five feet in front of him.
Roxas could do nothing but stare with a wide-open mouth. Eventually, a fly flew into the monstrous cave, causing him to choke and cough quite comically at the doorway.
The girl, noticing that there was a person at the door due to the commotion, turned around to see the stunned boy. She smiled at him, causing Roxas's heart to do backflips. Still maintaining that smile, she asked with a melodic voice that was sweet as honey and pleasing to the ears.
"Are you the new student?"
Roxas, momentarily distracted by her voice, almost missed the question, but he quickly shook his head and stuttered out,
"R-Roxas Hikari! P-p-pleased to meet you, ma'am." he finished with a bow that caused hiim to hit his
head on the desk in front him.
Seeing his flustered state, the girl couldn't help but giggle and replied,
"Nice to meet you too. My name is Namine Kanzaki, and I will be your teacher." She, in turn, gave him a curtsey, mostly to humor the boy.
...She's going to be my teacher!? Yelled Roxas inwardly.
And thus the story of their lives began.
How's THAT for a first chapter? I tried my best to grab your attention. Also, if you might have noticed, I kinda sorta REALLY suck at character discriptions. You know, what they look like and all that jazz. If you've got any advice, just tell me. I'm desperate here. D= Anyways, more will be coming, so R&R, s'il vous plait, mes amis!
