Kairi
The bell rang, signalling the first lesson. I bet Sora was thinking it was going to be great in a sarcastic manner. (Not that I thought any different). I waited for the moody brunette to pack up and exit the classroom. To my surprise, he sank deeper in to his seat as the teacher was out of sight and I started to tap my foot impatiently giving him the message that I was waiting.
"What? You like those boring lessons?" he raised a brow, not even expecting an answer.
I huffed irritably, "F.Y.I, I have no clue where I'm supposed to go and I have to be near you as you're in my classes. I don't wanna create a bad impression on my first day, thank you very much," he raised one of his eyebrows as I said that. Geez, he was so ANNOYING.
"How'd you do that?" I found myself asking him, to be honest, I didn't know what I was talking about.
"What?" he left the comfort of his chair and started heading towards the door.
I followed him quietly and asked, "How'd you raise one eyebrow while the other stayed the way it is normally?"
'Wow Kairi, you've started to make no sense,' I thought to myself as I waited for a response.
I just wanted to speak to him, even if the subject was out of context, I sensed something behind his rude behaviour. Maybe arguing with him would at least keep some kind of communication between us. At least, that's what I thought.
"How am I supposed to know? I don't know or care," he responded with the same annoyed expression plastered across his flawless face like he had earlier.
I just stood there for a few seconds looking through his ocean blue eyes, he deliberately avoided the eye contact, "Now are you gonna come? I have to spend a whole fricken day with you and show you around the school. How fascinating!" he spat sarcastically, looking away.
"Just shut up," I muttered, the tears daring to escape my eyes. I was sick and tired of misbehaviour, what did I do to deserve all of that?
He started to head out of the door, he began to quicken his pace as I tried to catch up with him. The pain that I felt, slowed me down. After all, my careless parents only wanted to cripple me. There was no one I could ask for help. No one...
"Slow down!" I shouted at him, the pain increasing to the level of unbearable, tears were already streaming down my face.
"I don't wanna be late, especially because of YOU," Sora responded harshly slowing his pace a little.
"You were the one who was being a lazy bum," I pointed out.
"You're a drama queen," he spat, and quickened his pace as fast as lightning and I was left among the crowd, completely lost...
What. A. Jerk.
Sora
She was getting on my nerves. Every time I tried to shut her up, she'd come up with some kind of response that would make me talk to her. I despised her. And I mean it. But I also had a feeling I could not describe. I did not even have this feeling towards the girl who only gave me a heart beyond repair.
I swear, Kairi would either think of me as some kind of jerk or she'd argue with me. I hated girls like that. Mind you, I am no mind reader, I could just understand what she was thinking because of the expression plastered on her face. That face... I wanted her to think of me negatively.
I began pushing past the crowd ahead of me, no one seemed to be bothered about being late. At that point, everyone could be compared to a snail. Slow walkers were another reason why I hated school. Then something caught my eye, my annoying red head companion was missing.
A terrible feeling I cannot describe, crept up my whole being, my heart thumped against my rib cage as my cerulean eyes desperately searched for a head of read hair. One thing for sure, the whole school was filled with creeps who repelled the female population. So this lead them to forcing themselves on to girls they found attractive.
I headed the opposite direction of my class and searched desperately for Kairi.
Kairi
A blonde haired guy grabbed me from behind and pinned me against the cold wall, his eyes glared in to mine as a sickening smile curved up his dry lips.
"Hey beautiful, I've not seen you around before," he leaned in closer to me, his unpleasant scent corrupted my breathing.
The mixture of smoke and any kind of drugs really aren't good for someone who suffers from asthma. I began coughing as the smell created a trap in me, preventing me from breathing properly. He squeezed my bruised arm viciously and and leaned closer.
"Y-y-you're hurting me!" I cried trying to break free from his tight grip.
He deliberately tightened his grip,"Oh, come on now, I can't let you get away so easily, surely, I need to stop you from getting away!"
"I-if you don't, I'll kick you where it hurts!" I spat back, trying to be as intimidating as possible, but I think I failed miserably due to having such a transparent look of fear.
"Oh I'm so scared!" He spat in a sarcastic tone.
He leaned in even closer, I tried to raise my other arm to slap him but he squeezed that painfully. I winced as I felt a new kind of pain rushing in and I squeezed my eyes shut thinking I will have no escape.
"Seifer!" a husky voice shouted at the blonde haired boy in front of me, fortunately, the saviour pulled him away from me.
"Go away!" Seifer pushed the boy who I called my saviour, revealing his identity.
Sora
I hated myself at that point, because of me she was in such a condition, if only I could understand what was wrong with me.
That-! He dared to even go near her! How dare he? The anger boiled up inside me, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and grabbed him away from her.
"Go away!" Seifer pushed me and I could feel Kairi's eyes on me.
"YOU stay away from her!" I hissed through gritted teeth, my eyes glaring at him hatefully.
Seifer was one of the 'creeps' I mentioned earlier.
"But-but she's just so-!" my fist met his face right between his eyebrows, he stumbled backwards and landed on his back. He deserved it.
"Y-Y-YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, SORA!" he yelled before becoming unconscious, talk about being a jerk.
Did I mention most guys at school hated me? I'm not surprised. Especially as my brother hated me, the hatred was scattered all over the male population.
Back to the point, my anger was taken to a higher level when I caught the sight of her crying, because of him.
Great, I bet she thought I was her bodyguard of something.
Kairi
I never thought for a second that Sora would go through so much to save me. He always seemed like the kind to not care. Maybe there was a reason as to why he was like that.
If you're wondering that I would think he's my knight in shining armour or some kind of bodyguard, you're highly mistaken. Sora was still a jerk to me.
"I don't know why he would want to go after someone like you," he said in a neutral tone, breaking the silence. I wasn't sure whether he meant it or not.
"Th-thanks," I replied with a weak smile.
"Don't be sarcastic, now come, I don't want to be late because of you," he said in an irritated tone and began to walk across the isolated corridor.
"I wasn't being sarcastic, I meant, 'thanks for saving me' from that creep," I increased my pace to catch up with him.
We walked in silence, me trailing a little behind him because of my concealed injuries...
Sora
We finally reached our destination, hooray! Who else likes science? I surely did! NOT. Science was a lesson I would deliberately arrive late to and sleep through. Especially as you already know, I had many restless nights, so boredom helped me fall asleep and get some kind of rest.
I let a loud sigh escape my lips and knocked on the classroom door, I could feel a pair of amethyst eyes on me. She was staring at me.
"Can you not," I said glaring at the door trying to ignore her questioning stare, she remained silent.
The door flung open all of a sudden scaring the hell out me, I jumped back and Kairi looked at me awkwardly.
The door revealed my favourite teacher ever, "Sora Irino, you are 15 minutes late! What is your excuse?"
"Oh, hello, Mr Even! I-I uh- was walking and then I saw this girl," I gestured to Kairi who was standing there holding her arm as if she was in great pain trapping her tears away. Not that I cared.
"And? Is that all?" Mr Even asked, a disappointed expression plastered across his face,"Stop acting like a goof ball and stop wasting my time! I need to finish this experiment."
What? Did he just describe me as a 'goof ball?'
"Detention after school!" the mad scientist hissed as I walked through the door, ignoring the girl I had just saved and sat in my seat.
Surely, she didn't need me to make up an excuse. She could use the 'I'm new' excuse and get away with it for a week at least.
Great, just great, I was happy I sat right at the back but the only other empty seat that was left was next to me. Did I mention everyone was staring at me? What was wrong with everyone and not facing the front like good, enthusiastic students?
Why couldn't I just be left alone?
Kairi
Once again I was left alone to handle the situation by myself. The nice yet goofy side of Sora vanished. To me, it seemed like he was always...fake. Okay, maybe not fake but he definately concealed something from everyone. I just could not understand why he hated me! Whatever it was, I was determined to figure out the reason behind his hatred. Because, I could not make myself hate him. Even if I tried. And I wanted the feeling to be mutual.
"Kairi!" the science teacher pulled me out of my trance, how did everyone know my name?
"Y-yes?" I asked politely.
He pinched the bridge of his nose before motioning me to go inside, as I stepped in, different coloured eyes were staring right through me, figuring out the nervousness that was rushing through my veins making me shake.
"Go and sit next to Sora," he pointed right at the back of the classroom before continuing,"You are excused as you're new but do not make it a habit!"
I nodded quickly and rushed to my seat, however, I couldn't sit down. Why? Because Mr Moody put all his belongings on that seat and behaved as if I was invisible.
"Uh- excuse me but I have been told to sit here, I would really be grateful if you would kindly move your stuff," I requested as politely as possible, but the irritable tone gave it away.
If he had the guts to call me a 'drama queen' then he was definitely a 'drama king'.
"How about no?" the brunette smiled at me sarcastically.
"Please," I was losing my patience, he was so annoying!
A blonde haired boy turned around and stared at me with wide eyes for a few seconds, and gave me a friendly smile,"Come on Sora, let Xi- I mean Kairi sit," he stuttered.
Sora's head shot up from his desk at the sound of 'Xi' and he glared at the blonde boy in front. I was surprised the teacher did not notice anything that was going on. Sora groaned furiously and moved all his things so I could sit down.
Too dramatic for a boy, if you asked my opinion. What was his problem? And who was this 'Xi' who had such a quick effect on him?
The boy in front winked at me which made me blush,"It's funny how you know my name but I don't know yours," I stated, indirectly asking for his name.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Roxas!" He introduced himself, or so I thought.
"Hey! That's my name, Ven!" the blonde boy next to 'Roxas' turned around, revealing his name.
"Hi Kairi," the real Roxas smiled before facing the front again.
Their resemblance was uncanny! The same spiky hair with the same skin tone and cerulean eyes. They were handsome. But...There was something really different about Mister Sleepy/Moody.
"You see, Roxas here is forever alone and is a little grumpy like Sora so I go around introducing myself as Roxas, sometimes, and he gets a few friends because of me!" he winked again and put his hand out for a handshake, I gladly took it.
The brunette next to me ignored Ven's little insult and acted to be asleep. As for Roxas, he smacked Ven's back,"Dude, I have a girlfriend, I'm not forever alone!"
"Sheesh, don't need to rub it in y'know, when I get a girlfriend, that will be the day!" Ven whined playfully, that made me giggle. Maybe school was not as bad as I thought. Only if you're around happy people though.
"Nice to meet you Ven and thank you for earlier," I smiled.
"No problem! My full name's Ventus by the way, but you can call me Ven!" the blonde smiled before facing the front again.
The rest of the lesson remained pretty silent as Even got fed up the 'chatting' and punished us by handing out textbooks and making us answer many questions.
I was glad I made at least one friend, because Sora was acting like my enemy. That reminded me, I needed to find out why Ven had mistaken me to be some person who's name started with 'Xi'. At least I knew one thing, and that was the fact that 'Xi' was a girl.
I wondered how the rest of the day was going to turn out but more than that, the mysterious girl who's name started with 'Xi' and Sora were the only things that were going around in my mind.
