I'm back with chapter two! I hope people are enjoying this as well as I am. I'm having so much with this! Now I know what it means we people say chapters write themselves. This one practically did that. And I hope you all can enjoy!
I completely forgot the disclaimer in the last chapter so here it is! I don't own KH or Twilight. There. So don't sue.
Nightfall
Chapter Two
Who Are They?
Sora groaned and rolled over to turn off the blaring and very annoying alarm clock. He sat up, not wanting to fall back asleep accidently. He looked outside through his slightly open curtains and saw that it was gray outside. He might as well get use to it. The sun hardly ever shined in Gongaga. After checking the time, Sora decided to leave his warm and comfortable bed and get ready for school.
He found the school with no problems thanks to his dad leaving some directions on the table. There were already some students there, hanging outside before school started. Sora parked his car and plugged his head phones. He would really like to go through his first morning without any questions and blocking people out was the best way for him to do it. He couldn't just ignore people because then he would feel bad.
Sora found the front office quickly and entered. He introduced himself to the woman behind the desk as Sora Fair. He noticed that her eyes lit up. This was a small town and gossip could spread quickly, but he couldn't understand what would be so interesting about him coming back to live with his dad. She gave him his schedule, a map and a slip that all of his teachers had to sign. Probably to make sure he didn't cut on his first day of school.
Sora decided to use his free time to look around the school and find the classrooms for all of his classes. Easier said, than done. He got lost rather quickly. Curse his lack of sense of direction! Maybe he should blame that on his dad too. Thankfully, there was a student that was willing to help him out.
This student was wearing a big baggy red shirt with the words 'Dog Street' running down the left side with a pair of blue jeans. "Do you need some help?"
"Uh… yeah. I-" Sora was interrupted by the bell suddenly ringing.
"You're Sora Fair right?" The boy asked. Sora nodded. "I'm Pence. Mind if I see your schedule?" Sora gladly handed it over. Pence's face lit up. "We have the same first class! But it's in the opposite direction. What are you doing here?"
"I think I read it backwards…" No wonder he was confused! That also explains why the numbers weren't matching up.
Pence laughed and Sora wondered if the boy thought he was joking when he was being dead serious. "Come on," Pence said after he finally stopped laughing. "Let's get to class before we're late."
"Alright," Sora said with a shrug. They made it to class just in time. The bell rang again as soon as they entered. Sora went up to the teacher and gave him the slip he was supposed to sign. The teacher smiled, signed it and pointed at an empty seat next to a brown haired girl with green eyes wearing some bright clothes.
This class was English. Sora looked over the reading list and saw that he had already read most of the books at his old school. Good thing he brought all of his old school work with just for cases like this. The class went by very slowly. The bell finally rang and Pence offered to take him to his next class, which was gym.
Believe it or not, though Sora was very athletic, he just wasn't good at sports. When he was younger, his parents used to run a dojo together. That brought them together; they're love for martial arts. His mother would teach him some martial arts and his dad would teach him kendo. Sora quickly became a black belt and started to help his parents out some. When they got a divorce, Zack kept the dojo in Gongaga open and Tifa opened her own on Destiny Island. She had to close it down now since she moved. Now that he thought about it, it's been awhile since he did some kendo. He really wanted to get back in it again.
He has no idea how, but Sora somehow was on the floor with his head spinning. A blond haired boy offered his hand and Sora took it.
"Sorry about that, man. I thought you heard the heads up."
Sora shook his head, "Nope." Sports defiantly weren't his forte. Put him in his dad's dojo and he would outshine the class. The coach let Sora sit out for the rest of the class. Maybe he should get hit in the head every class so he wouldn't have to do anything.
After gym class, he had trig. He hated math in all shapes and forms and sizes. He sat next to the same the girl he did in his first class. She decided to introduce herself and Sora learned that her name was Olette. She was extremely helpful with his math. She explained things in way that made sense to Sora and called her a genius.
Once trig was over, Sora picked up the slip and walked to lunch with Olette. He was happy to sit at a table with some people that he had already met before, along with some new people. He already knew Pence and Olette. He had met Tidus in gym but he didn't know his name then. He was introduced to Hayner, a guy with crazy dirty blonde hair, Selphie, Olette's older sister with brown and green eyes, and Rinoa, a girl with black hair with brown highlights and dark eyes. Sora was about to chow down when a voice caught his attention.
"Aww, come on Roxy! Don't be mad."
Sora turned and saw a guy with flaming red and dark eyes following a blond boy that had a sour look on his face. His eyes were dark too. And both of them were pale, very pale. "Who are they?"
Rinoa followed his gaze and smiled. "That would be the Strife family. The redhead with the tattoos under his eyes is Axel and the blond one is Roxas. They're a 'thing'."
Two more very pale people entered the cafeteria. One was a female with short jet black hair and eyes. She was holding the other person's hand. This one was a male with dark brown hair and eyes. There was scar across his face.
"That is Yuffie and Leon," Rinoa explained. "She sometimes calls him Squall, so no one really knows what his name is and he always has a scowl on his face. They're together too which is kinda weird because there in the same family."
"They're not blood related," Olette said. "They're all foster kids of Doctor and Mrs. Strife."
Then one more person entered. He was just as pale as the others and his eyes were just as dark. His hair was long and silver, stopping a quarter of the way down his back. Sora's mouth hung open. He quickly closed it and turned around when the pale boy looked his way.
Rinoa did the same with a giggle. "That's Riku and he's single. But he doesn't date. He thinks he's just too good for us… Like I care."
Sora could sense some bitterness in her voice. She probably tried to get to know him and got rejected. He turned a bit to look at the table where the family sat. Roxas still looked a little a mad and Leon still had a scowl on his face. Riku seemed to be talking to Yuffie, but then he looked over at Sora. He was sure he had stopped breathing. His face was hard and his eyes were intense; it was a bit intimidating. Then there was a hint of amusement in his expression for some reason.
"Sora, you're drooling!"
He quickly turned away with a blush and took the napkin that Olette gave him to wipe his mouth. What a first impression he made.
/…/
Lunch was over and Olette was walking Sora to his next class with Tidus. These two were really easy to talk to. Sora just hated awkward silence when there was a conversation, but he never got that with these two.
When they entered the classroom, Olette and Tidus left Sora and went to their own seats. Something caught Sora's eye. Riku was there. Great, the guy that just saw him drooling was in the same class with him. The teacher tripped over the cord to the fan just as Sora walked in front of it. He plugged it back in and the air hit Sora at full blast. The teacher had to turn it down before he could sign the slip.
Sora took this time to steal another glance at Riku. He pale boy looked like he was sick. He had clamped his hand tightly over his nose and mouth like he was going the throw up. What could make him so sick so suddenly?
The teacher gave Sora everything he needed and pointed to the empty seat next to Riku. Sora wasn't so sure about sitting there. As he approached the seat he noticed Riku moving over closer the edge of the table. Was he making him sick? Sora sat down and wondered if he showered this morning. He lifted up his jacket and took a whiff. He showered alright. That green tea smell was still there.
He looked over at Riku, only to regret it. He was glaring at him, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred and revulsion. Sora looked away almost immediately. He noticed that his eyes had some green mixed in with the black color. Did he do something wrong? He did drool some, but he didn't look upset at all about it.
The lecture was on the anatomy of cells, something Sora was familiar with. He took notes here and there trying to ignore the glare that Riku was still giving him. The guy looked like he wanted to rip off his head and use it to play basketball.
Once the class bell rang, Riku was out the door. How did he move so fast? Numbly, he gathered his things and met Tidus at the door. His last class was Japanese. His dad was fluent in the language and taught some to Sora. He just had to write in kanji for a while and then the last class of the day was over.
He made his way to the front office to drop off the slip. When he opened the door he heard an unfamiliar, yet very attractive low arguing with the receptionist. It was Riku.
"There must be something. Anything else."
The receptionist sighed and checked the computer again. "I'm sorry but all of the other classes are full. You have stay in Biology."
He was trying to get out of biology? Sora couldn't help but wonder if it was about him.
Riku suddenly stiffened and glance over his shoulder quickly, noticing Sora. "I'll just have to endure it…" he mumbled as he past Sora to leave the office.
It was about him. Sora was sure of it now. He stepped up to and gave the receptionist the slip signed by all of the teachers.
"How was your first day dear?" she asked.
Sora just nodded, not wanting to say anything more.
/…/
The first thing Sora did as soon as he got home was called his mom to tell her about Riku.
"He just looked like he wanted to rip my head off and serve it to guard dogs or something!" He told his mom as he paced in his room. "And he tried to get out of biology and take any other class. I know it's because of me and I didn't do anything."
"Didn't you drool over him?" Tifa asked.
Sora sighed, "No. I was looking at him with my mouth open. It was opened for too long and I started to drool. I have a short attention span."
Tifa laughed on the other side. "That's true. Now sweetie, why don't you just ask him what it is that's bothering him? There could be a misunderstanding. And if you need to, give him a little punch in the face."
Sora laughed this time. "Thanks mom. I think I'll take the non- violent way out."
"How about friends?" Tifa asked to get her son's mind off of the other subject. "Did you meet anyone?"
"Yeah! I met a lot of great people." Sora went to tell his mom about the people he met at class and at lunch. He knew what she was trying to do and he appreciated it. He also knew that tomorrow at school, he was going to confront Riku.

And that was chapter two of Nightfall! So am I doing okay? I would like to know if I have readers that enjoy this. I love hearing, well in this case, reading other peoples thoughts and I just love feedback. Even a little 'this is good' is enough. I would just like positive feedback. Hopefully, I will see you all and more in chapter 3~~
