Chapter I
I moved to Destiny Islands for a new start in life. I needed to get away from the big city and move to a more secluded area. I heard that the weather there was amazing and the beaches were stunning. Plus, there was someone there that I knew and we used to be good friends until he left his previous home. We were both abandoned as kids and that brought us closer together.
By the way my name is James. I live by myself in a house in Destiny Islands that my foster parents bought for me, as long as I stay in school, because they are loaded with cash but it didn't feel right for me to keep living there. I'd say they were just happy to get rid of me, as I wasn't what you would call a "model" teenager. You know staying out late, drinking and smoking and other things. My friend Markus was going to the school that I was about to attend and he said it was decent with some nice girls, because that's all you really need.
When I first got to my new home I felt good as If I finally had a place to myself and the islands were as beautiful as what I had predicted. The crimson sky at dusk time was a sight to behold and the cool summer breeze that brushes by your cheeks makes you feel good inside. I walked inside the door and dropped my bag in the hallway and let a grin run across my face as I thought to myself that this was going to be good. I walked into the living room and took notice of the things around the room. The white carpet on the floor and the cream colored couch that matched the walls made the place feel more "homey". A big fireplace was to the right of the large TV and a considerably big stereo system. I began to think of the wild parties I could have here. I was worn out after the long journey here and I already had school the next day so I decided to go to sleep in my king size bed. "Did I really deserve all this?" I thought to myself as I drifted off to sleep.
The next day I awoke with a familiar feeling. The one that people get when they have to drag themselves out of bed and go back to school for the first time in months. I quickly put on my uniform that consisted of a white button shirt, grey pants and a blue tie, ate breakfast and went off to school. The sun was beaming down and I actually didn't feel that bad going to my new school. I had yet to meet up with Markus so I was looking forward to that. On my way there I could see many people walking to school and couldn't help but notice the joy on their faces. I thought to myself "how can these people be so happy?" they were going back to school. It just made no sense to me.
"Oww" I had just walked right into some girl. "Ahh" she exclaimed as she fell to the ground. "Oh shit," I thought as I quickly helped her up. "Oh my God I'm really sorry, are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah I'm alright" I looked at her and I realised how beautiful this girl was. She had amazing flowing auburn hair and crystal clear blue eyes. "Sorry I wasn't looking when I bumped into you." I said to her. "No, it was my fault I wasn't looking either." She said with a slight smile on her face. "Are you walking to school now?" she asked. "Uhh yeah" I replied. "Do you wanna walk together?" "Yeah sure" I said back. "Name's James by the way" I said. "Kairi" she replied. "I was just walking back to call for my friend Sora, do you know him?" she asked. "No I don't. I just moved here last night." I told her. "Oh really, from where?" "New York." "Wow I've always wanted to go there, why did you move here." "I dunno just wanted to get away from the big city and move some place quieter." I said to her. "So what year you in?" she asked. "Just starting 10th grade" "Really, same we'll probably be in the same class cuz it's such a small school." She said with delight.
As we continued on our journey to school we heard a shout from behind us. Someone was calling out Kairi's name whilst running towards us. We turned around and Kairi shouted back "Sora, over here." A spiky headed teenager came running over to us and immediately said to Kairi "I thought you were gonna wait for me around the corner?" Sora said with a dejected look on his face. "I was about to and then I bumped into James here and we started talking, it's his first day and he just moved here from New York." Kairi explained. "James this is Sora, Sora this is James." "Hey" we said simultaneously and not really caring for one another. "So do you not know anyone in our school" Kairi asked as we continued walking. "Yeah I actually know one guy he used to live near me in New York, his name's Markus." I glanced over and seen Sora give Kairi a strange look. "Oh you know Markus, I didn't know he was from New York." Kairi said. "He likes to keep to himself a lot," added Sora. "I haven't seen him in years." I told them.
We reached the school and I decided to follow Kairi and Sora because they knew, better than me, where they were going. It was a small school only one storey and it had many windows. The lights hung from the ceiling and the outer walls of the school were all white and the place looked pretty modernised. I walked into the class with them and immediately searched for Markus but couldn't find him. I sat down beside Kairi and waited for our teacher to come in. Suddenly, I felt someone grab my shoulder and a swing me around. It was some silver headed student who almost shouted at me "Get out of my seat." I was about to jump up and knock this stupid prick out when Kairi said to him "Riku! Relax this is my friend James he just moved here" I just stared at him giving him a filthy look. "Fine, I'll let him sit there for now." Riku said while walking away to the back of the room. "What's wrong with him, I didn't even do anything" I said to Kairi. "Sorry about him he just gets in these weird moods sometimes, he's actually a good guy when you get to know him". Kairi told me. "He's a fucking dick." I thought to myself.
Class started and my mind began drifting off to other less boring things going on, like 'where was Markus?' About twenty minutes into class Markus strolled in and I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as I thought "same old Markus". "Markus", the teacher began, "how nice of you to join us, I thought you could at least arrive early for the first day of the new year". "Well you thought wrong" Markus replied lazily back". "Yeah man that's my Markus." I thought to myself while laughing quietly. "Get out of my class right now!" roared Mr. Darcy. Markus rolled his eyes as he exited the classroom. "Sorry about that" apologized the teacher.
The day continued the same way that it had began, just boring and monotonous as any school. At lunch I looked around for Markus but hadn't seen him since the first class "he probably went home." I thought. I hung around with Kairi and Sora for most of lunch and got to know them better. I really enjoyed hanging out with them, especially Kairi because she's a really nice person and she's also really hot.
Things were going pretty good until Riku showed up. I thought "This dick is gonna start somthin with me and he's gonna fuckin regret it." "Listen man, I was kinda pissed off this morning and I let it out on you so I'm sorry." Riku said to me. "Yeah man no hard feelings." I said to him accepting his apology. "Alright man cool" Riku said sitting down beside us. "So what are you guys doing after school today?" I asked them. "Dunno really we might just go to Riku's house and do our homework and just hang out there for the day, you wanna come?" Kairi asked. "Yeah alright." "Maybe you'll actually do your homework this year, right Riku?" Kairi joked. "I wouldn't put a bet on it." retorted Riku. "You should probably listen to her this year Riku." Sora added. "You're so whipped." mumbled Riku just low enough for Sora and I to hear but not Kairi. Riku and I laughed while Sora was left giving Riku an angry look.
The first day back at school finished up and we walked back to Riku's house together. "So where'd you live James?" asked Riku. "Ehhh it's the house just around the corner from here." I replied. "Actually that reminds me I gotta go check on something back in my house, I'll be back in a minute." I said. "Hey, do you mind if I go with you? You know just in case you get lost." Laughed Kairi. "Yeah sure, c'mon" I said. "So how long have you all been friends for?" I asked. "Since as long as I can remember really. I wasn't born here though unlike Sora and Riku. I'm from Radiant Garden, you know it?" she asked. "Yeah I heard of it but I've never been there though I heard it's nice." We talked some more before we reached the house when Kairi said "Wow, pretty big house" Kairi said in slight amazement. "Yeah it's all right." I said fleetingly while turning the key to the front door.
I could see she was curious to find out what the interior of the house looked like after she was intrigued with the outer part. We walked inside and I could see her surveying the place. "Nice place," Kairi stated. "Come in to the kitchen for a sec" I told her. "So what did you come here to get?" she asked. "Some food." I said laughing, "you want some?" I asked. "Haha, no I'm okay I'm still full from lunch earlier." She said while sitting down. I had a feeling she wouldn't eat anything, why would she want to ruin her perfect figure? "So are your parents home?" she asked. "Nope, don't have any" I replied, "They were killed when I was really young." "Oh my god I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." She apologized. "No don't worry about it you couldn't of known." I said to make her feel better. "I don't remember them that much so it doesn't really affect me anymore" I explained. "So, who lives here with you?" she asked "No one, my parents had a lot of money put away and I was supposed to be only able to touch it when I was twenty-one but my foster parents were a bunch of pricks and wanted me out of the house so they bought me this house and they expect me to pay them back when I turn twenty-one. But I don't know what to do cuz there's no way that I'm paying them back after they put me through hell back in New York." I said. "Sounds like you've had a tough life" she sympathised. "Yeah, but don't worry about it I don't need to be loading my problems on you" I said to her. "No it's okay really it's good to talk about things" she told me. "Yeah you're right, but lets leave it for another time. C'mon lets head back to Riku's." I said as we started to make our way back to Riku's house.
