Chapter One
Namine waited impatiently for her parents to finish talking with the dean. She had just recently transfered out of Destiny high and was moving into a boarding school called, Twilight Academy. Her parents were both very busy, and figured that it would be easier if Namine went to a boarding school that way she would be taken care of. In away, they wanted her out of their hands. It had always been like this, her parents didn't pay attention to her much but Namine pretended not to care. She said that she was used to them being gone for a period of days, but that was just a big lie she kept telling everyone who asked. She could hear the dean laughing merrily with her parents, and it made her furious. Why couldn't they laugh like that around each other? and besides, they're supposed to be talking about school. Namine sighed when she looked at the clock. She had been in the office for thirty minutes now and the dean hadn't even talked to her yet. Namine got up and walked to the secretary's desk. The computer was on, and a list of students and their files appeared. Namine smiled to herself. She realized that she could change her grades with this baby. Not that she really needed to, but her caluculus grade was killing her. She quickly typed in her name in to the search bar. Her grades were not too bad, she had a B in English, an A in History, a B in Chemistry, and of course her worst grade: D in caluculus. Namine was a good girl and normally didn't do this type of stuff, but this was a once in a lifetime chance! besides, if she didn't change it, she would never be able to pick up her grade. She erased the D mark, and Changed it to a C.
She heard the door knob begin to jingle. Oh shit! she quickly exited out of the program and scrambled to her seat. "Well, Namine will certainly fit in at Twilight Academy! We have a lot to offer her and don't worry, she will be taken great care of," The dean smiled. He looked over at Namine and beckoned her to follow him. "Now it's time for us to talk," Namine trailed after him reluctantly. She had been waiting for nearly an hour to talk to him, but now the thought of being the new kid here just kicked in. She knew what it was like to be new, and she hated it. What if people didn't like her? What if they thought that she was weird or something?
"So..." The dean said, whirling around his chair nervously. "I hear that you're really good at art. Is that true?"
Namine shrugged, "I like art and I guess I'm pretty good at it."
"Then you'll love our art program!" He smiled. "Oh, by the way, you can just call me Ansem,"
Namine nodded. "Um.. can i find out what room i'm in?" She asked.
Ansem blinked. "Oh right. I forget that people don't really like talking to me." He mumbled as he opened a bunch of drawers. "Here it is," He pulled out a file. "You're in room 210 with Olette and Fuu. Very nice girls, you'll like them. Trust me," Ansem smiled, giving her the keys. "Oh, and here's your schedule. I'll manage for someone to show you around, you just get settled into your dorm and unpack your stuff. when you're done you'll meet her down the stairs,"
Namine nodded and rushed out of the office. The halls were empty and quiet. Wow. She thought. This place is HUGE! She realized that she could get lost here easily, but that was the least of her troubles. She was still thinking about whether or not she would fit in or not. Namine wasn't exactly what you would call a social butterfly. No, she was total social pariah. she was socially enept and just plain awkward. Back in destiny islands, she had a few friends but they weren't exactly cool either. Namine was in her Junior year, and she knew how hard it would be. It wasn't going to be like elementry school, where everyone was friends with each other. No, it was going to be hell for her.
Once she got into her room, she dropped her belongings onto the floor and hopped into the only unclaimed bed left. It was by the window, which was perfect. She could see the beautiful scenery outside, a perfect place to sketch. Namine was so tired, she didn't even bother kicking off her shoes. It didn't take her long to fall asleep either.
Namine's Dream/Flashback
A ten year old Namine sat in the back of the room, doodling in her notebook. She was an outcast and was often forgotten about. In fact, the kids in her class didn't even know her name. That's why she was so happy to hear that she would be moving out of hollow bastion for good. She was going to move somewhere nice and sunny, while everyone stayed in this cold and dark place. The bell had rang and it was lunch time. Namine hated that time. She always ate alone and sat by the wall everyday.
She went to her cubby to get her lunch, but a note hanging loose in her cubby caught her eye. She picked it up and read it.
Dear Namine,
I heard that you were moving and I'm really gonna miss you. I know we never talked but before you
go, i really need to see you. I loved you since the day I met you. Now you're leaving, and I didn't even get
a chance to say it. Meet me at the park at 6?
Namine crunched the letter into a ball and threw it away. Tears filled her eyes, she hated it when people played jokes on her. Especially jokes like that. That day, Namine didn't come back after recess, and didn't bother going to the park. Instead, she left Hollow Bastion for Destiny Islands at an earlier time.
Namie woke up to the sound of voices in the room. "Guys.. I think your roomate's dead!" A girl whispered. Namine opened her eyes slowly to see a short haired brunette with green eyes hovering over her. "EEK!" The girl shrieked and jumped back. Namine looked around to see a girl with silver hair and red eyes rolling her eyes at the girl, and a long haired brunette by her side.
"Sorry about that. She can be such a bimbo at times," The girl with the silver hair said. "I'm Fuu by the way. That's olette and the girl who woke you up was Selphie," Selphie smiled, regaining her color.
"It's okay. I'm Namine and I'm-" She began, but she was interrupted by Selphie, who pulled her to her feet and gave her a bone crushing hug.
"We're going to be best friends! i just know it," Selphie squealed.
"Can't. Breathe!" Namine wheezed. Selphie immediantly let go and smiled.
"C'mon, I have to show you to Kairi!" She said, yanking her out of the room and down to the lobby.
"Hey Kairi! Meet the new girl, Namine!" Selphie said to a pretty red haired girl.
"Hi, Namine," The red head smiled warmly. "So you just transferred from Destiny High, right?"
Namine nodded. "Yeah. My parents wanted me out of their hair," She chuckled.
"My parents threw a party when I left," Selphie stated.
"Who wouldn't?" Kairi joked. Selphie punched her playfully.
Namine played with her fingers uncomfortably. So far things were going well with the whole fitting in, but she was pretty sure that they were going to ask her to sit with them during lunch. What if she said something weird during lunch?
"Listen, Were going out to lunch. Wanna come?" Kairi asked.
"Sure, " Namine smiled. Don't freak them out Namine!
"Kay, meet us at the parking lot at lunch," Kairi smiled. "Oh, and Roxas is looking for you. He's your guide to Twilight Academy," She pointed to a spiky blond haired boy with baby blue eyes, waiting by the steps.
"Lucky you," Selphie giggled. "He's soo hot!"
Namine's face dropped when she saw him. "I thought my guide was supposed to be a girl?"
Kairi shrugged. "Sakura got injured during gym and she's at the hospital. Nobody else had time to show you around, 'cept for Roxas,"
Namine frowned. She didn't speak boy! she would look like a total idiot in front of him! Just get this over with Nami, she thought to herself as she walked up to him. He was leaning against the rail, with his back to her. "..Roxas?" She called. He didn't respond. "Roxas," She called a little louder. When he didn't respond, she rolled her eyes and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey!" Roxas jumped forward. He turned around to look at her.
"S-sory," Namine stammered. What's his problem? "I didn't mean to scare you," She said shyly.
"I wasn't scared. I just....don't like being touched is all," He said in a low voice. He looked pretty agravated with her.
"I had to. You didn't respond when I kept calling you," Namine explained.
"You should have spoken up," He grumbled. "C'mon. Let's get this over with." Roxas led her out of the lobby and into the halls. "That's the home ec lab," He pointed to the room next door. The two kept walking. "There's the gymnasium. This is for the dance, gymnastics, and basketball team," He was talking in a tone that screamed "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW!" It bugged Namine a little. Usually, guys were nice to the new girl on her first day especially if the girl was cute. But maybe that was the thing, maybe she wasn't cute? "There's the pool, for the swimming team and for special occasions. Next door is the ice rink for the hockey team and sometimes when they're not using it people use it to freeskate." He sighed. "Look, I don't want to be here doing this, and you don't really want to do this either...-"
"What's your problem?" Namine interrupted him. "I didn't do anything to you. So why are you pissed at me?"
Roxas' eyes went cold. "Oh you don't remember, huh?"
Namine was confused. "I just met you..?"
"Forget it. You wouldn't get it anyway. I'll get someone else to show you around," He mumbled, walking away with his hands in his pockets.
Namine didn't know what it was about him, but he made her want to pull out her hair. There he was acting all cool and getting all pissed at her for no reason. What the hell did she do to him? and what did he mean 'Oh you don't remember, huh?' she never met him until now! was it possible that the two knew each other from somewhere?
