I have major writer's block on KH 3D, but I got a random idea for a RokuNami story!

S T U D I O XIII
!
Ever have that feeling when you know your going to be late, but you rush anyways? Yeah, that's the feeling I have right now.
"Excuse me!" I clutched my dance bag closer to my side as I headed down the hall towards studio XIII. "Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh!" I collided with a firm body just before I fell backwards onto my butt.
"Oh my God!"
I lifted my head to meet the cobalt blue eyes of blonde boy that was about my age, sixteen.
"Oh my God. I'm sorry! I'm just very sorry." The boy reached out a hand for me to take. Me, being the smooth girl I was, just stared at the extended appendage dumbly, like it was an orange pickle. Then, snapping back to reality, I took his hand and momentarily struggled to get back onto my feet.
"There!" he said. "You alright?"
I adjusted the strap on my bag.
"…I'll take that as a yes," he said to my lack of response. "Well, I'll, um, see you around." He started to walk down the hall in the opposite direction I was headed.
During this whole exchange, I found that I couldn't speak. Once my vocal chords started working again, the first words out of my mouth were, "I'm gonna be late!" I took off running at a sprint towards the studio.
"I'm here!" I yelled as I burst through the double doors of the dance studio. All the other dancers stopped in mid-stretch and stared at me.
"So nice of you to join us, Ms. Namine," our senior dance instructor, Tifa Lockhart, said. "Come, take a seat and stretch. We don't want you to pull anything, now do we?"
Twilight Town School of the Arts is an elite institute of education that only caters to the best. Of course, we're not just talking about academics here. Every student here majors in at least one area while keeping on top of his or her grades. For me, it is dance and visual arts.
The students live in dorms, with about 2 to 3 people in each room. There are four different dorm houses: Shimomura, Nomura, Amano and Sakaguchi. Girls live in the Shimomura and Sakaguchi dorms. Boys live in Nomura and Amano. I live in the Shimomura dorm with my roommates Xion and Olette.
"Hey Nami," Olette said as I walked into our room to change out of my dance clothes before dinner. She sat on the edge of her bed while looking over some sheet music.
"Hey 'lette." I grabbed a pair of jeans and a white button down shirt and stepped in to the bathroom to change.
"How was dance practice?" Olette asked. Olette is a music major. She plays the clarinet in our school's symphonic ensemble.
"It was good," I said as I buttoned up my shirt. "But I was late again."
"Again, Namine?" I heard Xion say through the door. Xion is a dancer like me, but she mostly does hip-hop. I do lyrical, jazz and ballet.
"Don't they have any art classes nearer to the dance studios?" Olette asked.
I have art class before dance, but the visual arts building is on the opposite side of campus from the dance studios.
"If there were, I would be already be taking them," I said.
"I'll take that as a no."
I pulled my hair into a ponytail and stepped out of the bathroom.
"Okay, guys. Ready to go?"
At our school, all meals are usually at the dining hall during the weekdays. On weekends, we can eat off campus if we want to, but there is a 10:30 curfew. If you are caught coming back past then, you will be punished. I don't what they do to the people they catch, but my cousin Reno, he's a senior, has been caught before. He was past curfew only by ten minutes, though he only got a threat of detention, nothing major.
The dining hall is in the center of the campus. The Shimomura dorm is not too far from there.
"Hey, Xi, Nami, are you guys still doing that dance thing tomorrow at Blank Points?" Olette asked. Blank Points is a teen club where students from our school can perform in their free time. A few alumni from TTSA, Cid Highwind, Sanae Hanekoma and Xigbar Archer, own the club. Xion, some other girls we know and I try to perform there once a month on a Friday.
"Yeah, we are," Xion said.
"Who's doing it with you this time?"
"Well, me and Nami, of course, and then we got Selphie, Yuna, Kairi, Rikku, Aqua, Serah and Cissnei to do it with us."
We entered the dining hall.
"Namine!" Kairi waved at us from her table. She's my sister. "Over here!"
"Come on guys!" I grabbed Xion and Olette by their arms and pulled them towards Kairi's table. Riku, Tidus and Selphie were sitting with her.
"Hey, Kai." I took a seat across from my sister.
"Hey Nam," Kairi said before taking a bite out of her spaghetti. "Are we still on for Friday?"
"Of course!" My sister and I chatted for little bit, as we live in different dorms and don't get to see each other as much as we'd like to.
"I should go get our food," Olette said as she stood up. " You guys want anything?"
"Spaghetti!"
"Spaghetti."
"Okay." Olette started to walk towards the food line.
"Hey, you guys know Nida?" Xion said.
"You mean the guy who went all prodigy and just recently went from sophomore to my grade?" Riku said. He's a junior. "Yeah, I know him."
"Yeah, you know what this means?" Xion asked, but she didn't wait for an answer. "That means there is an open spot in the sophomore class! My cousin's transferring."
"Which cousin, Xi?" Kairi said. "You have a lot of cousins, like Terra and Sora and Squall and Sora and Vanitas and Sora…"
"I only have on cousin named Sora, Kairi."
"I heard my name!" the aforementioned cousin of Xion plopped down in the seat to Kairi's right. He's a sophomore, like me. "What're you guys talking about?"
"We were talking about how Roxas is going to transfer TTSA, until you interrupted us."
"Roxas? Oh right, Roxas! Yeah, you guys will like him. He kinda looks like me, except not as awesome, but he looks exactly like Ven. He's his brother." Ven is another one of Xion's cousins. "Yeah, he should be here already," Sora said to Xion.
"Really?" Xion had a really excited look on her face.
"Yeah, he's unpacking. I think he's rooming with Hayner. We can go to see him after dinner. I went in there earlier, and he had enough things to crush a pack chocobo."
"Okay, it's settled then. After dinner we'll go to the Nomura dorm and we'll introduce you to Roxas!"
A/N- Namine and Kairi are sisters and they are both sophomores but they are not twins. Namine was born late and is one of the younger girls in her grade. Xion, Sora, Olette, Hayner and Selphie are also in their grade.
Roxas wasn't in this chapter, was he? Oh well. Just click that little button down there that says Review. It needs some love.
