CHAPTER ONE: GOING TO SCHOOL

It was morning. Roxas was still deep in sleep. He finally woke up with a groan. He picked up the alarm clock beside his desk and read the time. It's 6:05 A.M. He put the alarm clock back on his desk and went back to sleep. Then his blue eyes opened wide and he sat up, grabbing the alarm clock to look at the time again. He put it back on the desk with shock on his face. "The alarm didn't go off, again!" he exclaimed. He grabbed his towel and dashed for the bathroom. Roxas is a really fast runner, so it will only take him three seconds to reach his room's bathroom. He took a bath quickly, got dressed up, and combed his golden brown hair in his usual spiky hairstyle.

Roxas quickly went downstairs and found his mother, Mrs. Elliots, in the kitchen, making some hot chocolate, and, sitting and waiting in the dining room, was a boy who looked a lot like Roxas, but he's a couple of inches taller than him and a year older than Roxas. He is Ven (as his friends call him), Roxas' sixteen-year-old brother. Like Roxas, he also wears a spiky hairstyle.

Ven and Mrs. Elliots saw Roxas enter. "Good morning, Roxas," their mother said, smiling at her youngest son. Ven waved at his brother.

"Looks like you've finally woken up," Ven joked, smirking. He loves playing jokes on his younger brother.

"Morning, Mom. Good morning, bro," Roxas said, ignoring his brother's joke. He sat down beside Ven's seat. "Boy, I can't believe the alarm didn't go off."

"No, it didn't," Ven said, crossing his arms as he leaned his back on the backrest of his seat. "When I passed your room, I heard it ring."

Roxas turned to look at him. "Then, why didn't you wake me up?" he asked, annoyed. "Wait a sec." He thought for a while. "Maybe it's one of your pranks again."

Ven sat up straight. "What?" he said in surprise. "Of course not!"

Mrs. Elliots finally entered the scene. "That's enough, you two," she said, putting down the mugs of hot chocolate on the table. "Roxas, you should respect your elder brother. And Ventus, stop playing pranks on him."

"But, Mom," Ven protested. "I've already told you. I didn't do it. Plus, why do you have to call me by that name?"

"Please, Ven," their mother said in a pleading tone.

Ven sighed. "Alright, alright," he said. He turned to Roxas. "I'm sorry I didn't wake you up." He turned back to Mrs. Elliots. "But I'm telling you, Mom. I didn't play a prank on him."

"Enough, now," Mrs. Elliots said. "Let's forget about it since it already happened. You'd better drink your hot chocolate before it becomes cold chocolate."

Roxas and Ven took their mugs and began drinking. Mrs. Elliots brought some bread, spread it with cheese spread, and gave it to her sons. The two brothers thanked their mother and ate their bread. Mrs. Elliots took her own mug of hot chocolate, sat down with her sons, and started drinking. "So," she began. "Do you have a lot of things to do at school today?"

"We're not yet sure, Mom," Ven said, swallowing. "But I know that the Music Club members don't have a practice or meeting today. So, I'll be home early."

Ven is a member of Destiny Islands High School's Music Club. He's not just a member of the club, but he's also its most talented member. Together with his friends, Aqua and Terra, they form the "Trinity" of the Music Club, its top three most talented members. Being the highest, Ven is called "Mickey", Aqua is "Donald", and Terra is "Goofy".

"Well," Roxas started. "Sora, Riku, and I had already finished our group project, so I don't think I'll be home late today."

Mrs. Elliots nodded in understanding. Ven finally finished eating. He stood up. "Thanks for the meal," he said out loud. He got his mug, poured some water in it, and drank. He hurried to the kitchen to brush his teeth.

"Looks like your brother's in a hurry, again," Mrs. Elliots said, drinking some chocolate while observing her son.

"He's always like that, Mom," Roxas said, finished in drinking his chocolate. He stood up. "Well, thanks for the meal." Like his brother, he drank some water and went to the kitchen to brush his teeth as well.

Ven, who already finished brushing when Roxas came in, went to the living room to get his bag. "You'd better hurry up, Roxas," he called to his brother while walking. "Or else I'll leave you."

"Alright, alright," Roxas said, applying some toothpaste on his toothbrush. He brushed his teeth quickly and went to the living room. As he gets his bag, Mrs. Elliots went out of the dining room and followed her sons to the door.

"I forgot to tell you something," she said as Ven opened the door. "Your father called last night and he told me he'll come home next week."

The two boys looked surprised and delighted to hear this. "Really?" Roxas exclaimed as he and Ven exchanged smiles. They looked back to their mother. "That's good to hear."

Their father, Mr. Elliots, worked as an illustrator and cartoonist in a publishing company in Twilight Town. Every week he goes home to Destiny Islands because he's really busy with his work.

Mrs. Elliots smiled back to them and nodded. "I know it is," she said.

"Well, Mom. We gotta go," Ven said, kissing his mother on the cheek. "We'll see you later."

Roxas also kissed her on the cheek. "Bye, Mom!" he said, waving at her as he began to walk away.

Mrs. Elliots waved at her sons. "Be careful!" she called to them.

Ven waved back at her as he and Roxas walked. "We will, Mom!" he called back, lowering his hand.

Mrs. Elliots lowered her hand and watched her sons go. "They're such sweet boys," she said as she closed the door. "They're really like their father."

As the two boys started their five-minute walk to Destiny Islands High School, Roxas turned to his elder brother. "Why are you always in a hurry, anyway?" he asked him.

"Well…" Ven said, looking up and thinking for an answer. "Terra, Aqua, and I usually sing songs while waiting for the teacher. And we also think of suggestions for the Music Club."

"Is that really all?" Roxas joked, smiling at his brother.

"Yes, it is," Ven said, annoyed. His blue eyes suddenly grew wide. "Oh yeah, I just remembered something." He smirked at his younger brother. "You'd better watch out for an announcement later. It's from the Music Club."

"Really?" Roxas exclaimed. "What it is?"

"I can't tell you. That why I said you'd better watch out for it, right?"

"Come on, tell me. I'm your brother, after all."

"I said I can't. That's why it's called an announcement. You should have joined the Music Club so you'll know about it."

Roxas seemed to be surprised at what Ven said. He remained silent and sadly looked away from him.

Ven noticed Roxas' reaction. He sighed and looked forward. After a short silence, he finally spoke up. "You know what?" he told Roxas. "This question's been bothering me for a very long time." He looked at him. "Why didn't you join the Music Club, Roxas?"

Roxas was surprised when he heard what Ven said, but he turned to look at him with confusion on his face. "What?" he asked.

When he turned to him, he saw the serious expression on Ven's face. "You heard me," he told Roxas in a serious tone.

Roxas thought for a while. "It's because I like English better than Music," he said after a few seconds. He and his friends, Sora and Riku, are members of the English Club.

"You're lying." Ven said, surprising Roxas even more. Ven sighed before he continued. "You're a great singer, you can play a lot of musical instruments, and you can even compose music. And you don't call that a music lover? Listen, Roxas. I'm your brother, so I know that you love music as much as I do. Now, tell me the real reason why you didn't join the Music Club."

Roxas looked away. "Well…" he hesitated. "I, um…"

Ven watched him with disappointment on his face. "Can't you really tell me?" he asked, obviously upset of his brother.

Roxas didn't give him an answer. Ven sighed. The two remained silent for the rest of the walk.

That's the end of Chapter 1. Nothing really big happened here, just Roxas and Ven having a conflict. What do you think is the reason why Roxas didn't join the Music Club? Sorry about the grammatical error. I'm not very good in English. I hope you enjoyed reading this!
