Namine's Pov

"MOM!" I yelled from down the stairway.

"Yes, you had better be ready when we leave tomorrow." My mother yelled back.

Despite my many days of protesting our leaving, I was losing the battle. "I don't want to go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, and slammed my door shut.

Maybe I should back up a bit? About 3 weeks ago my father's boss offered him a job over at Destiny Islands. I didn't want to leave my friends here, but I was being forced to abandon my home town and move.

That brings us to today. As I shut my door, I looked around my room. Or what was left of it at least.

Almost everything I owned was in a box, or was sorted into piles. The few things that were lucky enough not to be leaving were unlucky enough to be thrown away. A huge garbage bag was filled to the brim with useless crap from past years.

I took a deep breath and let it all out slowly.

"Uhh this is going to be a long night." I muttered to myself.

I started by picking up all of the clothes off the floor. I placed them into a box and labeled it 'Clothes'. Then I took the makeup and hair supplies off my dresser and set them into a box labeled 'beauty'. I continued that process all night, putting away jewelry, pictures, pillows, and my laptop, everything in my room was in a box by 10:30 that night.

I heaved sigh of relief. Staring around the room I quickly realized I had forgotten to set aside pajamas and clothes for the next day.

"GRRR" I growled in anger. I stomped over to the box labeled 'clothes' and took out a tank top and shorts for bed. Then I unpacked my chosen outfit for my trip and arrival tomorrow. I brushed my teeth and went to turn down the bed.

However nothing was there. "MOM WHERE ARE MY COVERS!" I screamed down the stairs.

"PACKED" my mother yelled back.



"Well, how am I going to sleep?" I questioned. "I don't know Namine!" my mom hissed to me.

She was in quite a grumpy mood today. I muttered angry words to myself as I lay down, preparing myself for an unbearable night in the cold.

As I awoke the next morning people were in my room taking all of the boxes and furniture. "Movers" I mumbled as I groaned and lugged myself out of what was my old bed.

I shooed everyone out and quickly got dressed. As soon as I opened my door movers charged in ready to pack everything.

I ran down the stairs trying to escape the rush. Only to be met my even more of one. The people downstairs including my parents were in a huge hurry. Everyone was scrambling to place everything in the truck and drive 4 hours away to my new home. I picked up note and a tea packet left on the counter. The note read

Dear Namine,

When you wake up, your father and I will be quite busy so please know we are leaving at noon. Here is a tea packet for you when you are ready for it. Also, we love you and remember to double check that everything in your room was taken so it's not left behind.

LOVE,

Mom and Dad!!

I opened the tea and decided to make some.

After 5 minutes the tea was in a cup in my hand ready to be drunk.

I took a sip and smiled. Tea always reminded me of fall, my favorite season. I drank up and when I was thrown I dumped the tea, rinsed the glass, and packed it up too.

I walked back up the stairs into my old room. "Bye room" I waved and giggled to myself. I looked at the clock and it was already 11:30. So I ran around my room making sure everything was packed. When I was sure that it was, I walked slowly down the stairs into the car and made my way 4 hours from my familiar neighborhood to one I have only seen once.

It was September 1st and school was only 2 days away. I was new to the city; I came from a town called Spring Brook. It was so pleasant there. Waterfalls, and sunsets everywhere you turned. I suppose I liked it here too, but it wasn't the same as being with all my friends and in a neighborhood that knew me.

I wasn't even sure how nice the people here were I was about to find out though.



As I hopped out of the moving van and stretched my legs I turned around and was hit by a skateboarder.

"AHH" I shrieked as I fell to the ground, and the blond skateboarder fell on top of me. "WOW, sorry" he jumped up and held his hand out.

I took it and stood up, fixing my messed up hair. "I'm, so sorry I'm Roxas are you new?" He questioned as extended his hand, this time for me to shake.

I looked at him and then took his hand again.

"Yeah…" I shuddered "I'm Namine, I just moved into that house" I pointed to my new home.

"OH, cool!" he exclaimed. He was full of so much more energy than me. And he was so outgoing. "I'm your neighbor, I live right next door."

"What's going on over here?" my dad walked over to us.

"Hi, I'm Roxas, your neighbor." Roxas was just so outgoing.

My dad looked over to me and I shrugged. "Hi, I'm Mr. Jacobs. Namine's father."

He kept a stern look on his face. "Well, Hi." Roxas flashed him a smile and turned back to me.

"Have you seen the town yet?" He asked.

"No, I haven't" I shyly replied. "Well, I'll give ya a tour I you want." He continued to smile and I looked over at my dad.

"Can I go daddy?" , "please?" I waited.

"Sure, I suppose, that's one way to get to know the people." He joked.

"Roxas, I trust you with my daughter." He looked at Roxas and Roxas beamed.

"Let's Go!" he grabbed my hand and we were off. We walked over to his house only next to mine.

"Let me drop of my skateboard first." He opened the door and motioned for me to come in.

"I'll be right back, I'm just going to put this in my room" he ran up the stairs and I looked around.

A woman interrupted my thoughts abruptly. "Hello?", "Who are you" She asked.



"I'm..Namine." I replied. "Oh, well um.." she was cut short by Roxas.

"She's the new girl, our neighbor and my friend." He smiled and walked over to us.

"Namine this is my mom." He pointed to the woman. She was dressed in a white blouse and blue skirt, with an apron on.

"Well, Hello Namine, your welcome here anytime as well as your family is." She smiled and walked off.

"Ok, I'm ready." As we left Roxas' house I smelt a strong sent. It was coming from Roxas.

My god does he smell good!! I thought to myself.

He grabbed my hand and we ran off to the next block. When he slowed his pace he relived my hand of his and spoke.

"Sorry we had to run, it's just my dad would have showed up and kept us forever."

He laughed, and we started to walk again.

"Ok, this is town hall" he pointed to a large brick building in front of us. "It's really big" I said stupidly.

"Ha, yeah" he didn't seem to mind my remarks.

"And that is the Gummi dock." We were facing a wooden docking area filled with Gummi ships.

He continued to point out places in the town, and I realized how beautiful it was.

"Now, I wanna show you someplace special." He told me to close my eyes and I did as I was told. He took my hand and we started walking. I giggled.

"Roxas, I don't wanna bump into anything." He too laughed.

"I won't let you." Somehow I believed him.

We were apparently walking up a hill because I could feel the incline.

"Whoa!" I held my arms out as if I was going to fall.

"Don't worry I gotcha." He chuckled and again I believed him.

"OK, now open" I slowly opened one eye then the other. "OH my god, it's beautiful."



Roxas's Pov

She was just so gorgeous. "This is sunset hill." I kept my eyes fixed on the sunset, but hers were fixed on me.

I turned to her "What?" I tilted my head a little

"Nothing" she giggled. "You look like a puppy when you do that." She smiled and looked back at the sunset blushing.

"Ruff Ruff" I held out my hands like paws and panted. "Wow," she held her stomach and laughed.

"I didn't think I was that funny." I put my hands behind my head and laughed along with her.

Once she was done I stopped too.

"Isn't it romantic up here?" I wanted to punch myself in the face for saying that!! STUPID STUPD I thought. I was expecting a slap or a few angry words from her but no.

"Yeah, it is" she softly replied.

I turned my head toward her "really?" I asked. She looked at me confused. "Yeah, why, didn't you just say you thought so?" I turned back to the sunset. "Yeah, it's just, well nothing never mind."

I didn't know how to tell her she was different, she liked it, and she let me flirt with her without getting mad. She smiled.

"You ok?" she asked. She really looked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I shot a smile back at her. "ROXAS!" Hayner jumped on my back causing me to roll to the ground.

"OH MY GOD… get off of him!" Namine ran down to us. I was cracking up. "No…no…Namine It's ok, he's my best friend."

I suppose she thought he was hurting me.

"Oh, Hi, I'm Namine." She blushed and smiled.

"Hey, I'm Hayner." He took her hand and shook it.

Then he turned to me "She your new girlfriend?" "WHAT!" I screamed I smacked him on the back of his head. "OW" he rubbed his head and laughed.

"Sorry" he laughed. Namine blushed again.



"Namine is our new neighbor." I told him.

"Oh, if you're not dating her could you give her my number." He winked at Namine.

Again I smacked him on the back of his head.

"LEAVE!" I yelled. "Fine chill, call me Namine!" He yelled back.

"I'll kill you if you don't get out of here"

I was so angry he was embarrassing Namine.

"No thanks." Namine replied.

"That's ok you'll come around." He called back.

She giggled. "Well I don't know just who they are but I'm not one of them sorry." (Wizards of Waverly place quote) she was pretty feisty.

I had to admit. Hayner just skated away. Probably really upset.

"Wow Namine, he really liked you, don't get me wrong Hayner is a really nice guy but he is a bit rude at times."

"A bit?" Namine laughed some more.

"Well, he thought I was your girlfriend so I guess it looks like we are together." She faced me.

"Well, we are on Sunset Hill all alone so, yeah, I guess it does look like that."

She laughed again.

She was such a fun person to be around, and she never was offended by anything. I was really starting to like her.

"Well, my dad is probably worried." She looked sad to leave but I understood.

"Ok, I'll take you home." I took her hand and we ran down the hill.

"uhh oh." Namine tripped and started to roll down the hill, and since my hand was in hers I fell and rolled with her.

I was laughing and she was screaming. I ended up on top of her at the bottom of the hill.

"It looks like we do this a lot huh?" I joked and hopped off.



"Yeah" I helped her up and she dusted herself off.

"Have you fallen on me enough today?" She giggled.

"Well, yeah, maybe twice more tomorrow?" I cracked up at my own joke.

We started walking down the street. "Crap! Namine hold on I gotta get some milk, I forgot all about it, my mom gave me 5 to get some today."

I dashed into the store and left Namine to wait on the bench.

Then I heard a scream.

Hope you all liked it, I wonder what happens when Roxas leaves Namine alone?? Hmmmmmm!! Well, read chp. 2 and find out!! MUHHHHHAAAA!! REVIEW PLEASE
