I'm actually thinking of writing a sequel after I finish this one. So please read and review and help me make that decision! :) Enjoy!
Unbreakable Connections
Section One: Earth and Wind
"Nervous yet?" I teased my twin brother, playfully shoving his arm. Roxas rolled his eyes, yet gave a small smile in return.
"No." He mumbled. "You are though, I can tell."
"No I'm not!" I yelled. I'm a terrible liar, especially if Roxas can tell. He's not all that attentive.
"Twin senses, Ven." Roxas laughed, winking at me as he got up to grab his bag from the dresser. I had completely forgot about that, realizing that Roxas could basically read my thoughts.
"Twin senses, Rox." I retaliated. He looked at me with a 'shut up' kind of look. I grabbed my things and we both walked outside, just in time to get on the bus for school.
It was our senior year of high school, our very first day. I could hardly believe it myself, neither could Roxas. It was so exciting, but at the same time, it was really nerve racking. Not only because of the stress of becoming an adult, but also because we had to move schools, again. Some school in Radiant Garden.I hate moving, I didn't want to leave the friends I grew up with. Aqua, Namine, Hayner, Leon, or Kairi. I missed all of them so much. We were all supposed to graduate together, but I guess destiny has other plans?
I made out the words on the school's giant sign: "Brilliant Rose High." I let out the biggest sigh I could muster. Roxas, who was sitting next to me in our seat, wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Don't worry," he whispered, "we're gonna make all new friends. It's gonna be a great year, you'll see." I smiled at his words and enveloped him in a hug. He might have been the younger twin (by like 5 minutes), but he always knew exactly what to say to make you feel better.
"Thanks, Roxas. Too bad we don't have any classes together.."
"At least we have lunch, and study hall."
I shrugged, slowly letting Roxas out of my embrace. The bus came to a sudden halt, and the doors opened. I stood up with my twin as we exited the bus and walked into the new school. People kept giving us funny look, probably because we look exactly alike. No doubt it was difficult to tell us apart. If we didn't wear different clothes, people would have been in a frenzy. However, no one said anything to us, they just stared. What a warm welcome for new students. We just kind of leisurely walked to the end of the hall, coming to a stop. I turned to face my brother, gesturing that I had to go the opposite direction. He gave a slight wave and a smile, and returning the favor, I walked the other way to my first class. Wait, where am I going? Oh yeah, down this hall right here... wait. No. This is the-
The late bell rang loudly in my ears, setting me back a bit.
"Dammit!" I yelled, trying to figure out where my class was. I ran around the school, unaware of my class' location. I was going in circles, I swear. Finally, I found the class I was looking for: Art Studio-Advanced Placement (AP). Yes, I am an arts type of person. I like to sing, dance, draw, play musical instruments, act, all that good stuff. I mostly stick to drawing though, it's my best talent. Roxas is the more academic one. Great at English, excellent at Math. I've always been a little jealous, to tell the truth.
I opened the door and walked in slowly, not very sure of what to expect. I felt many eyes focused on me when I sat down, one pair being the teacher's.
"And your reason for being late is?" She said firmly. I looked up and made a nervous smile.
"I couldn't find the class..." I mumbled. I heard a few people chuckle, was that funny? 'Cause it doesn't seem very funny.
"Understandable. Class, this is Ventus. He will be joining us for his senior year. So make sure to give him a warm, Brilliant Rose welcome!" The teacher went back to her previous engagement, and not to my surprise, no one came up to greet me. Everyone just minded their own business, talking to their friends. The teacher began a short lecture about basic rules and regulations, etc. I just put my earphones in, listening to music and putting my head down onto my table.
My schedule of classes was confusing, only because I had no idea where anything was. First it was Art Studio, then Chemistry, then Senior Composition, Calculus, Lunch, World History, and then finally a Study Hall for the rest of the day. However, I didn't care about anything at the moment but food. Luckily, my lunch is just about to start. Praise Kingdom Hearts.
I grabbed lunch from the cafeteria ladies and looked around for my brother, finding him at the far end of the cafeteria. I walked over to his table, sitting down while setting my food down.
"How's everything so far?" Roxas asked me with a smile.
"Okay, I guess." I answered, taking a bite of my... I'm not actually sure what it was. My face must have given off some type of melancholy expression, because Roxas frowned at me.
"That's not the answer I was looking for, Ven." He muttered. "Where's the excitement, hmm?"
"There was supposed to be excitement?" I chuckled a bit, receiving a shove to the shoulder. I let out a sigh. "Everything is just kind of... boring. No one to talk to."
"There is such a thing as making friends."
We both laughed at the smart comment. "Whatever." That was the only word I could come up with.
Roxas gave that heartwarming smile that he always makes. "Don't be so negative, Ven. You just need time to.. open up a bit. I'm sure within the next week, you'll have a whole bunch of new friends!" He rested his hand on my shoulder. "Not to mention, I'm right here behind you." Before I could speak, I noticed people out of the corner of my eye. They sat down at the table, and they were awfully close to each other. One had dark brown hair, the other had a really odd silver color to his hair. Never seen that before.
"It's the new guys!" The brunette exclaimed first. "Welcome to our school!" I was kind of taken back by his unmistakeable optimism. I looked over at Roxas, who was gleaming with positivity.
"Thanks! I'm Roxas, and this is my twin brother, Ventus." I gave a slight wave, swallowing the food that was in my mouth.
"Most people just call me Ven." I added.
"Roxas... Ven... It's going to be hard to tell you guys apart!" The brunette said.
"Just as long as you don't wear the same outfits." The silver-haired boy interjected. "Name's Riku, and this is Sora. Nice to meet you. So, what grade are you guys in?"
"We're seniors." I replied, a small smile creeping onto my lips. It made me happy to say that, only one more year of high school and we were done.
"No way, us too!" Sora yelled. "We can't wait to graduate!"
"Tell me about it." Roxas and I said simultaneously. I began laughing with my twin, Sora and Riku joined in as well.
"We're gonna be great friends, I can already tell!" Sora smiled. Riku looked over at him and chuckled to himself.
"How do you know they want to be friends with you?" He laughed. Sora looked in surprise at Riku from his words. I couldn't help but laugh myself, his face was priceless.
"Hey! Be nice!" Sora shouted, sticking his tongue out at Riku. Riku simply laughed and leaned in and stole a quick kiss on Sora's lips. Wait a second... Pause. Did I just see that correctly? Sora smiled slightly from the kiss, and my face had to have been looking confused.
"Aww, you guys are together?" Roxas asked, receiving a nod in return. "That's so adorable! You guys look great together!" Roxas lowered his head, laughing a bit. "I'm still on Team Single. But I'm not really looking for a relationship right now, anyway." Sora and Riku kind of chuckled, and Roxas immediately perked up again. The couple looked at me directly.
"What about you, Ven?" They asked, while my face went from confused to attentive.
"Haven't found anyone yet." I shrugged.
"Oh my gosh! I could totally hook you up someone!" Sora said excitedly. "Girls or guys?"
The question made me halt any type of movement. Shifting, breathing, blinking, everything. No one had ever really asked me that before. I felt myself blushing, and I kind of lowered my hand. I wasn't really sure how to answer the question. I've never been in a relationship before, and I really didn't know if I liked girls or guys. I mean, I thought some girls dressed nice, or some guys were cute, but never really thought anything of it. I guess I'm weird like that?
"Oh, I see. Not sure. Well let me know if you want hooked up!" Sora smirked, standing up from the table and grabbing a hold of Riku's hand. "Lunch is about over. You guys should totally meet us at the plaza after school! It'll be fun!" Roxas and I both nodded in agreement. "Great! See you then!" We smiled and waved as our two new friends walked away from the table.
"See?" Roxas broke the silence. "Making friends can be easy." I nodded in assurance, just as the bell rang. We both stood up, about to leave the cafeteria. "See you in Study Hall." I waved at him, each of us showing a smile before walking to our classes. Roxas is always so positive, I'll never understand how he does it. Not saying I'm a negative person, but I can be at times. Roxas is positive no matter what.
After World History, I struggled to find the library, but managed to be on time. I found a seat on one of the couches that were set out in the library. Roxas came soon after, plopping down next to me. We started doing the homework we were assigned throughout the day, but I had forgotten one of my books in my locker. I got up and walked over to the librarian's desk, and asked for a pass to my locker. Upon receiving one, I turned around quickly to walk away, but instead I accidentally slammed myself into another student. All of his books and papers fell to the ground, and my eyes widened in surprise.
"Oh my gosh!" I shouted. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there!" Both me and the student bent down to pick up the papers and books that had fallen, and we looked up at each other at the same time. Our eyes locked, his bright ocean-like eyes with mine, and we sat like that for a few seconds. I began blushing when we stood up, and I had hoped he hadn't noticed. With one hand I scratched the back of my head, and with the other I handed him the papers I had picked up. "Sorry..."
"It's fine, don't worry about it." The tall boy replied softly. His voice... it sounded so.. relaxing. He extended his hand upon speaking again, giving a welcoming grin. "Terra." So that's his name. Terra...
I reached out and shook his hand. "Ventus. I usually just go by Ven, though." We didn't let go of each others hand immediately, and I couldn't help but look into those eyes again. They were hypnotizing. Mesmerizing. He let go of my hand, putting his back down to his side, me doing the same.
"Ven..." He said, as if he was trying to get used to the name. "Well, Ven, thanks for helping me pick up everything. See ya around?" He sort of tilted his head to the side and smiled.
Suddenly realizing he was speaking to me, I snapped out of my trance. "Y-Yeah. See ya." I felt the corners of my mouth move up into a grin. He had to have noticed my blushing. My cheeks were so undeniably red, there's no way he could have missed it. I watched as he walked away, slipping into a gaze. I came back to reality suddenly when Roxas snapped his fingers in my face.
"Earth to Ven!" He hollered. I fluttered my eyes and turned my attention towards him. He merely chuckled and shook his head. "Someone is having some feelings, eh?"
I continued blushing and rolled my eyes. "No!" I responded, moving back to my seat on the couch.
"Twin senses, Ven." Roxas laughed even harder. I shot him a glare, I always forget about that. Always.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Roxas and I packed up our things and walked to the lockers, putting what we didn't need in them. We did finish all our homework, so really we put everything in our lockers. Who needs specifics, right? We decided to walk instead of taking the bus, since we were meeting up with Sora and Riku after school anyway. It would have been a longer walk from our house to the plaza than from the school to the plaza. It was only a few blocks away. However, the entire time, I couldn't stop thinking about the boy with the sparkling blue eyes. Terra kept roaming through the inner areas of my mind, and every time I remembered his face, I could feel myself turn red and grin a little. I'm glad Roxas never noticed though, he would have gone on and on about it until we got to the plaza. Maybe even at the plaza. But maybe he was right, maybe I did have feelings for him. Although, I just met the guy, I couldn't have any feelings for him. Could I?
