CHAPTER 2:
"Aww man, I can't believe I got a double math period!" Hayner couldn't stop complaining about how his schedule sucked.
"Lighten up, at least you'll get to spend more time with me." Olette teased. Hayner suddenly didn't think of double math as such a curse.
"What about you, Kairi? Got anything new this semester?" Naminé was usually very curious about everyone else's timeline. She really wanted to see which classes they had together.
"Well, not really…just the same old boring classes. Got English the first period." Kairi felt a little down; her schedule was pretty much always the same. She had hoped that it would at least be a change, but her hopes weren't just that, hopes.
"But look, we all have homeroom together. I, for one, and happy about that. My previous homeroom teacher was terrible. He would only let us sit there in silence, not letting anyone speak a word. As if that wasn't enough, you all abandoned me to suffer the evils of that asshole." Riku noticed Kairi was not herself today, as if something was missing. Usually when he would see her look down he would always try to make her laugh again.
"Hey, we didn't abandon you, we just…didn't want to bother you while you were being tortured." Everyone started to laugh at Pence's comeback. Except for Kairi, who was still hoping for a little spark in the day.
Riku noticed that Kairi didn't wear her smile today. He knew immediately that something was wrong and he already had a good idea what it was.
"Hey, shouldn't we start heading to class? We could then choose where we want to sit." Naminé implied.
"Sounds good. Will you sit next to me Nami?" Olette asked.
"But, don't I usually sit next to you?" Hayner argued. Hayner always sits next to her usually because he has had a crush on Olette since day one.
"Oh, don't worry, you can sit behind me. Who knows, you might enjoy the view." Olette winked at him, giving him a devilish smile before they all started walking. Hayner's face suddenly began to grow a new shade of red when he heard her words.
Class A1 was the chosen class for the group. was the same size as the other classes, except it had something all the other classes lacked; a beautiful few that displayed the entire town and the sparkling ocean. If it weren't for the education, this room would be perfect for a tourist overlook of the town.
"We finally got the best class room in the entire school. No more staring at other class rooms." Riku was really enjoying the idea of staring his mornings with a gorgeous view.
Everyone chose their seats at random except for Hayner and Naminé who adored their friend. Riku sat one seat to the left and one seat back from Kairi. He left the seat open in front of him mostly because he didn't like being so far in front. Pence sat in front of Olette and behind Kairi; was the best seat for being close to his friends. Last time he sat on the other side of the class because it was the only seat open in the entire class.
The school bell sounded, alarming all students and staff to get to their assigned classes. A few seconds later, one of the teachers entered Kairi's classroom. He had long brown hair and a necklace with a lion on it.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Mr. Leon. I will be your homeroom teacher for the remainder of the year. Please find your seats and we will get started." He turned over to the board and started to write down his name in wide letters. All the students quickly shifted to their seats, and like a broken speaker, they all went silent.
"Let's start off with the basics. I would very much appreciate it if you followed the rules of this class. I really don't want to spend the entire year looking over my shoulder. Before I hand out the rules, we have two new transfer students. Please stand up and announce your names." Mr. Leon insisted.
The class looked around to see if they can spot any new faces in the room, yet there were none. No one stood up or even said their names. Kairi could hear the whispers in the room from the other students who were confused about the situation.
On the other side of the school, two pairs of footsteps were banging against the cold floor at a considerable speed, eager to get to their destination. Kairi was also confused about this entire thing. Transfer students were very rare in this small town. Usually people travel to other worlds to get an education. Destiney high was only built because some people couldn't afford to go to other worlds. Kairi's family made their fair share in life, enough to go to other schools, but Naminé and Kairi both agreed that the island is where they belong.
"Dude, I found it!" yelled a strange voice coming from the halls. Everyone in the class turned their heads in the direction of footsteps running down the hall, getting even closer by the second. In the doorframe stopped a kid that seemed the same age as Kairi, or anyone else in the room for that matter. All Kairi could make out of this stranger was his spikey brown hair that seemed to defy gravity.
"DUDE! WATCH OUT!" The floors on that level of the school had just been polished, meaning it is extra slippery than any other floor in the school.
The young stranger threw up his arms in a failed attempt to catch the other from overshooting the class, only to get crashed into and sent flying further away.
The entire class was dumb folded at what just happened. Even Mr. Leon had no idea what was going on and only looked at the room's entrance with a question mark above his head. A moment later, a hand curled around the side of the door frame with the rest of the body that followed thereafter. It was the spikey brunet who was first to re-appear. He was holding himself up against the doorframe with the one hand and the other was holding his head, probably from the collision earlier.
"Why didn't you stop? That really hurt." Said the spikey crash dummy.
"I'm sorry I really tried. This floor is just so slippery. Besides, you're the hard headed one in the family." Another boy revealed himself from the corner of the door. He looked a lot like the first guy but had golden blond hair instead of brown. They were both suffocating from their long marathon across the school.
"Are you the new students we were expecting?" asked Leon.
The two young boys opened their eyes simultaneously, revealing their clear blue eyes that reflected with light. All the girls in the class suddenly fell under their spell and were taken aback by their beauty. Kairi and Naminé had the same reaction followed by a huge thump against their ribcages. This caught Riku's attention, causing him to smile.
"Y-yes sir, we are so sorry for being late." The brunet apologized with all his heart. The teacher could see he meant it.
"We won't make excuses, we are truly sorry." The blond was very humble towards the teacher that instantly earned them points.
"Its fine boys. It's the first day, people are bound to get lost." The two looked at each other and nodded at each other.
"Yes sir, that's it, we got lost." Replied the brunet.
"Why don't you two come up here and introduce yourselves to the class." They both nodded again at the teacher and carefully walked over to the front of the class where everyone could see them better.
They both looked quite fit, a little skinny but not so much that they don't have any muscles on their bones. To everyone else that only meant that they must probably have six packs. They both spread their lips across their face in a smile. Kairi couldn't stop staring at the brunet while Naminé was hypnotized by the blond. They saw something in their smiles that just blew them away.
"Hi everyone, my name is Sora." Announced the brunet.
"And I'm Roxas. It's nice to meet you." The blond spoke after his brother.
All eyes were on the two while everyone was busy analysing the two newcomers that were standing in front of them.
"Uhm, bro…don't you get the feeling like we are being watched?" asked Roxas.
"Yeah and it's kind of freaky." Answered Sora.
"Welcome, you two, please take any seat." Mr. Leon insisted. The two walked to the closest open seats. Sora spotted a great seat in front of Riku but didn't sit down before extending his arm to Riku to greet him.
"Hey man, nice to meet you." Said the goofy brunet.
Riku grinned at the new guy and extended his hand out to meet with his.
"Great to meet you as well. Name's Riku." After greeting each other, Sora pointed to the table in front of Riku with a questioned look on his face, Riku replied by welcoming Sora to the seat with a hand gesture. It was like they read each other's minds.
Kairi had to fight herself not to look next to her to see the new guy so close to her. She couldn't understand why she was acting this way.
"What the hell is going on with me today? Why do I feel so…pinned down?" she thought to herself. She only shook her head to snap out of the spell. She didn't even know the new guy so why would she suddenly feel so eager about him.
As for Roxas, he found a seat behind Naminé, causing the blond girl to nearly squeal. She was having the same attack as Kairi and she didn't even know why. Roxas didn't notice her at the time because he was distracted by how weird it feels having everyone stare at him, same goes for Sora.
Riku was wearing a sneaking smile on his lips. In his mind, he already predicted the future and liked what he was thinking.
"Looks like Kairi is going to get that little something extra she has always wanted." He thought to himself.
