Chapter 2
TITLE: July Flame
Disclaimer; I don't own Kingdom Hearts, if I did, there would be a lot more… *seedy grin*
The winter air was a lot warmer here closer to the cost then it was back at home. I unzipped my jumper and headed back to my car, Naminé following.
"Where's your dorm?"
"Uhm… I think it's over the west side somewhere." I rubbed the base of my neck as I tried to remember what I wrote in my planner. "I'm sure it was clock B, upstairs" She beamed.
"I'm in A! So on the ground level under you." She blushed, and I chuckled quietly to myself as I opened the passenger side door and she walked over to the left side of the car
"Well seeing as in the same building, would you like a lift?" We were on the East side at the entrance so it was only the right thing to do.
"Oh are you sure?"
"Most defiantly"
Her eyes widened happily and I stepped aside allowing her to side into the car. I closed her door as her smile stayed as neatly as it had been since she had greeted me and I hurried over to the driver's side. Opening the door, I put out my smoke, tossed my jacket into the back and started the car and pulled out.
"So what are you studying?" I questioned
"A Bachelor of Visual Arts, my parents think it's a waste of time, but what's life without art?"
"I agree" I felt myself smile a little at the thought of what was in the back.
"Yourself?" She asked in return.
"Me? Uhm a Bachelors in Science. I have no idea what the end goal is but I guess that's what Uni is for. Figuring it out, I mean" She giggled a little at my reasoning and let it be.
I pulled into the car park and she helped carry up my bedding; my lightest box as I carried the rest. Placing down my life in boxes, I fumbled for the key and managed to get a couple of small giggles from Naminé while doing so. I finally found the right key and open the door. 'My roommate mustn't haven gotten here yet." It was a little won for me because now I can choose what sides mine and all the other little childish things.
After I'd brought up all my boxes and Naminé helping to decorate my half and put things away, it was late. The sun was setting around 4ish and was dark out by 5.30.
"What are your plans for dinner?" Naminé asked as we both flopped onto my newly made bed. I scanned the room and admired what we had done with my small space.
"I was just going to go for a drive and see what fast food joints there are around here." I felt a little lonely at the image of me eating along but then again, it was only my first day.
"Wanna come out with a couple of my friends? We can show you the best places?" Her face lit up as she spoke. Gosh it was breath taking.
"That'll be great!" It was a better picture now forming in my head, and I'll admit; I'm excited.
We'd arranged a time so we both had time to get ready and for her to round up her friends. I looked through my clothes for something warm to wear and finally settled on my pale grey skinnies with a black and white checked belt, plain black skivvy and a dark grey hoodie lined with wool. Ahh I love this jumper. I'd had a quick shower and changed into my warm clothes and locked my room after slipping on my shoes and grabbing my keys, smokes and wallet. My cigarette was lit within milliseconds of being out side and I enjoyed the burning feeling travel from my throat to my lungs, then a sudden rush of cold air chasing it. The middle of the year was always my favourite part of the year because of that 5 seconds of pure bliss. I exhaled and looked over the university and took in my new home, people were walking around, coming back from classes, seeing people or just going for a walk, others doing the same as me and some just trying to get away from the winter air. The cigarette lit up my face and fingers as I took another drag as I heard someone call my name from somewhere below.
"Roxas!" Naminé called from below, she was with a small crowd of people. I exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"I'll head down now" I called back and started for the stairs. I was really excited to meet her friends and have some kind of social life. Living out in the middle of nowhere kind of limits the people you could consider forming a bond with.
"Hey Roxas," An excited look took over her pretty face. Even in this limited light, her light facial features lit up and her eyes still looked like they could swallow you up. "Ok, so I have a couple of things planned for tonight but first," she cradled her hands in each other and raised herself up on her tippy toes. "But I promise you it'll be fun." Naminé was wearing a summer dress with a petty coat and tights under it and a dress length coat. "But the first thing tonight is setting up a social group. So I've brought along these 3 for now," Her hand gestured to the trio behind her. "This is Kiari," A bubbly red head waved from Naminés left "Marluxia," A tall man dressed kinda punk rock shot me a hug smile, wasn't what I was expecting. "And this is Axel." The last person standing behind her was a tall redhead. He had two tattoos, one under each eye and the brightest green eyes id ever seen.
"That's right, Axel. Got it memorized?" he pointed to himself with his thumb, smirking. He gave off a weird vibe, almost uncomfortable… But as equally exciting.
"Uhm yea" I felt a little awkward. "So where are we heading anyway?" Naminé giggled at my question.
"Come on then, we don't want to be late now do we?"
A/N; so I thought id just let you guys know that im not going off a story plan or anything. If you look hard enough, its loosely based on the DS game 365/5. And yes all the titles are song titles. If you want I can add who they are by. Just pm me ^.^
