It was the last day of school before the holidays and everybody was happy. It already had been snowing in Twilight Town and there would be snowman around, kids making snow angels and the great snowball fight people love to play. Christmas shoppers would hit the stores or mall to buy gifts for somebody. But Twilight Town during the holidays was known for its crazy blizzard storms and this story begins with a group of teenagers who get snowed in their own school due to one.
Friday - December 19, 2008
Twilight Town had been already been covered in snow that was reaching about 4 feet already but only in some places but that didn't stop the students of Twilight High to go to school because the weather wasn't harsh today.
"Finally. It's the last day of school," Sora said.
"Not really. It's day of school before winter break," Kairi said.
"Yeah but it doesn't matter Kairi. We don't have school next week anyways."
Sora and Kairi were walking to school wearing their winter clothing to stay warm from the cold weather. The sun was barely shining as clouds mainly covered the entire town. Many students were wearing their winter clothing and the snow slowly starts to come down already during the morning.
"It's starting to snow. Hopefully it's not a sign of a blizzard. You know how Twilight Town gets that one crazy blizzard every year during winter and right now, it hasn't happen yet," Kairi said looking into sky.
"Watch what you say Kairi. You don't wanna jinx today where a blizzard does happen," Sora pointed out. He just wanted the day to be fun were you got nothing to worry about. Too bad he didn't know of what's to come.
The two then spotted Riku walking along with Tidus and Selphie. "Hey you three! Over here!" Kairi shouted out.
Riku and Tidus were looking around where Kairi's voice was coming from but Selphie knew. "Hey you guys," she said getting their attention. "She is right over there." She pointed to her left shoulder where Sora and Kairi was already walking towards them.
"Oh," they both said.
"Idiots," Selphie said looking away from them.
"Hey!" Riku complained but Selphie ignored him.
"Hey Kairi and Sora," Selphie said.
"Hey Selphie," Kairi said as they started walking to school together. "Did any Christmas shopping seeing how your family is rich?"
"Yes. Heck yes. Seeing how I'm not some spoil brat, I always buy gifts for everybody and you know how I don't like to shop last minute including the week before Christmas."
"So you got everybody's gifts already?" Sora asked.
"Yep. Me, Namine and Olette went on a shopping spree on Wednesday since our teachers didn't give us any homework on that day."
"What happened to Kairi?" Riku asked wondering where Kairi was since the girls always shop together.
"I had to take my driver's test," Kairi answered. She was the last one in her group to get a permit.
"Under these snowy conditions?" Tidus asked.
"No. The written test you."
They arrive at their school and entering in. Sora looks behind and notices the snow had gotten heavier than the last time. He was suspicious about it seeing how in a short amount of time the condition of the snow was.
Roxas and Namine were all alone on the roof where there was tons of snow. "Hey look Roxas," Namine said lying on the snow making snow angels. "Snow angels."
"Namine, you're such a child," Roxas said looking down on her.
"We're only teenagers. Time for us to enjoy it while we still can."
"School is about to start Namine. Lets go already." Roxas was already by the exit.
"Fine." Namine got up brushing off the snow on her back. The bell soon rang as Roxas was already going downstairs. "Hey wait up Roxas."
Class was about to start but everyday at Twilight High is that homeroom was first in the morning for any announcements and such. The gang was in their Christmas homeroom along with Hayner, Pence, and Olette.
"Good morning class," the teacher said as everybody got into their seats. "Today is the last day before the holidays." The student's reaction was that they cheered at the thought. "Now I know you're stoked but there are a few announcements."
Sora was not listening to the teacher and just looked at the window. The wind outside had definitely had gotten faster as the snow was blowing fast. "I hope that soon dies down," Sora thought. Right outside the wind was getting faster and the snow was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker.
Everybody gets out of homeroom and head for their first period. "Have you guys ever notice the weather today?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah. You think they'll cut school short if the blizzard of the season comes?" Olette wondered.
"Yeah. They would tell us on the intercom though," Pence said.
"Did you guys do that English assignment where we have to write one short story with the theme of Christmas in it?" Hayner asked.
"Yeah," Namine answered.
"I didn't," Roxas said. "I'm already passing that class with flying colors. Even if I didn't do one assignment, I'd still get have an A."
"Smarty pants," Hayner teased.
"Whatever," Roxas said entering his class.
Sora had looked outside the window noticing the harsh weather. It had gotten worse compare to this morning. Then the lights of the school soon went out but then came back on.
"Attention students, we seem to having some technical problems to the storm outside. Please remain calm," the principal said on the intercom.
"Somebody turn on the news," the teacher asked. Sora did so turning on the TV that was behind him.
"Right now what we're seeing is that Twilight Town is completely covered by clouds and researchers say that this could be the worse blizzard of the year right here in Twilight Town," the female reporter said.
Down below the floor (the first floor) where the freshman classes were, the windows were completely covered by the snow. A student notices that the windows already had cracks in it. "Teacher, I think we should get out of here. This window looks like its about to break," the male student said.
"What?" the female teacher said checking up on it. The crack soon got bigger and she told the students to leave immediately. Students from other classes were also evacuating. Teachers soon close the door locking it when the sounds of windows break.
"Students and teachers of Twilight High School. I announce that classes are cancelled due to a breakout of snow on the first floor and you are to remain calm and warm as possible when help arrives to get us," the principal said on the intercom. The principal gets the school telephone to call for help but the lines were dead. His office was on the top floor where the senior classes were. He looks outside his window and notices that the telephone poles had fallen to the ground.
"Students remain calm and don't do anything drastic," Sora's teacher said. "Please remain seated." The teacher goes out and sees the freshman students coming up the stairs. The adults told them that they can chose any place to stay as long they are above ground level.
"I blame you for this weather," Sora said pointing out to Kairi.
"Hey. Don't act like that when there is a big problem on right now Sora," Kairi snapped.
"Sorry Kairi," he apologized. Kairi turned back her head facing the board.
"But did it had to be on this day?" She just went to him and slaps him in the face.
"That'll teach you," Kairi implied taking her seat pulling out her phone texting to Namine.
Due to the breakout of snow on the first floor and the blizzard of the year, the students and staff were snowed in school and had to wait help to arrive. But help can't reach them due to the storm and the roads to the school have all been blocked. Going outside was suicide for anybody because you'll freeze to death. Roxas and his friends were stuck in their class because they couldn't leave. They had to do something instead of just playing cards.
"You keep winning Namine. There is no point in playing spoons if you keep winning like this," Hayner complained putting his cards down.
"Well this is all we have right now. Besides," Namine said looking at her teacher. "We can't even leave the class without being in danger. Kairi text me that her teacher is letting them go as long they don't endanger themselves."
"That's not fair. Our English teacher is the fun one and what we got is some old math teacher," Hayner shouted.
"Hayner! Keep your voice down," his teacher said.
"Why can't we leave? Ms. Stephens let her students go and I heard that all the other classes let the students out." Hayner then heard students outside their class talking and walking by the class window in the hallways.
"Well I'm not like other teachers," the teacher said.
"That's it!" Hayner headed for the door opening it. "Come on guys."
Hayner's friends soon follow and all the others were looking at each other. Then suddenly they got out of their seat and head for the door.
The teacher just scoffed. "Teenagers." He noticed that nobody was in the class. "We'll no one to take care. Time to go to the teachers lounge." He sprinted out the class.
"Kairi, where you guys?" Namine asked on her phone walking with Roxas, Hayner, Olette and Pence.
"Um, on the third floor where Riku is. Where are you guys?"
"On the stairs. We're coming right now." Namine closes her phone and see them right in front of her. "Kairi."
"Sora and I have been thinking. Since I didn't eat breakfast including him, we were thinking of going downstairs to cafeteria. Wanna join," Kairi offered.
"Let me think." Namine thought for about 2 seconds. "How bout no! It's way too dangerous to go there. That whole place was evacuated."
"Only the classrooms Namine. The windows will hold the snow," Sora interrupted.
"Fine. I'm too easy to get too," Namine whined as Kairi took her hand and went downstairs along with Sora and Roxas.
"You guys can stay there, we can get the food," Roxas said leaving.
"Hold on. We must not get caught," Sora said looking into the hallways was it was flooding with teachers walking by.
"I got an idea," Roxas thought. He went to nearest teacher and told her that the kid across the hallway, which there was, has a lighter and was going to smoke a cigarette. She actually believed him, which surprises Sora, Kairi and Namine. The four stood by the stairs hiding and watched the scene as the teacher started yelling at the student. They started laughing as she started to check his pockets and everything. The weird part was that Roxas was actually telling the truth. The student did have a lighter that took them by surprise.
"That was weird. Did you know that was there?" Namine asked.
"No I didn't. Weird huh?" Roxas said. The four just headed down the stairs when Sora tripped taking Kairi down with him and she lands on top of him.
"Ow," Kairi groaned.
"Sorry," Sora said.
"Aww Roxas. Look how they look together. They're already cuddling up to keep each other warm," Namine teased looking down from the scene.
"Yeah Namine," Roxas said putting his finger to form a picture frame. "I can see it now." The two laughed.
Kairi helped Sora up. "Shut up Namine," she said. "What about you and Roxas?" Now that made them stop laughing but they laughed even more.
"M-me and her? Y-you gotta b-be joking Kairi," Roxas said in between laughs.
"Yeah Kairi. We can never be together," Namine said holding back her laughter going down the stairs facing her. "Lets go already." Then Roxas and Namine started to head for the cafeteria.
"Can you believe those two," Sora said looking at them. Kairi wasn't paying attention to what he said. She just looks at her hand and notices that she and Sora and were still holding hands. It made her blush a little.
"Kairi?" Sora said.
"Yeah."
"You can let go of my hand now."
"Right." She let go of his hand and followed him. She felt something in her like a jolt when she touched Sora's hand. She thought that maybe she was growing to like him more than a friend. She didn't know what to think. But when Namine teased them she fired back. She knew Namine had a crush on Roxas but she saved herself by laughing along with Roxas. Lucky her.
The others were waiting until Riku saw them coming up with a bunch of food in their hands that were from breakfast this morning. "Thank god," he said going up to them taking bagel package. Their friends rushed in taking some also.
"Okay enough already," Roxas said keeping the rest for he as did Sora, Kairi and Namine did. They all just sat on the third floor eating in the hallway. Everybody looked at them wondering where they got the food but they ignored them. The time they finished Kairi was about to say something that involved all of them.
"That was good." Kairi said finishing her egg roll. "Now that we're done, we all get to do the stuff we wanted to do." She was getting excited.
"You mean pull pranks on all the teachers we hate?" Roxas asked with a happy look in his face.
"Okay, two things," Kairi added. Sora just gave her a 'what the heck is she thinking' look.
"What did you have in mind?" Sora asked.
"Well first lets all play a game and just any game. A game that takes strategy and brains," Kairi said.
"You mean play hide and go seek anywhere we want in here don't you," Riku guessed.
"Damn you. You ruined it," Kairi complained.
"But Kairi, we already knew you wanted to do this. After all, if we were in a horror film, this school would offer the best hiding spots," Pence said.
"Yeah your right. There are place we haven't explored yet. And the rules are that any friends we also have, that include Yuna and the others, can play. Everybody have their phones?" Hayner said getting the idea. Everyone did taking it out. "Put it on vibrate and call the person whoever has to seek, to tell whoever has joined the game also." Everyone liked the idea but also knew that they didn't want to be the one to seek.
"Then all right. Let's play. See ya," Kairi said dragging Sora with her to find a place to hide.
"What's wrong with her?" Olette asked Namine.
"They had a moment when we went to get food. They are in such complete denial." Namine was looking at the two heading up the stairs.
"Aww. See ya Namine," Olette said running off also.
"Wait Olette. I'll come with you," Hayner said running to her.
"Don't leave me guys," Pence said.
"Hey! I thought we were in this together leaving Selphie behind," Namine said. Selphie just gasped of what she just said.
"Well Namine. Seeing how you left me to do the dishes with your mom," Selphie remembered. "I'll be going. Later." With that, she too ran off to hide.
"But guys," Namine whined. The others soon ran off, as she was the last one was to seek. "Great. I'm all by myself."
"No your not," a male voice said. Namine looked behind her to see Roxas. "I'll help you find them."
"You're so sweet Roxas. Thank you." The two then started their big hide and seek game. It was like winter wonderlands where they are were going to have fun.
I felt good about this story. It maybe be short but I'll have fun writing it. My current KH story, "Not Your Ordinary High School Story" is put on hold until the winter break. I need to catch up on my writing.
