(A/N): Sora is 18 years old and Riku is 19 years old. The reason for Riku going to university at 19 is because all humans needed at least one year of Monster History if they decided to attend a monster college or university, so he is a year later, even though most go to university between ages 19 and 20.
(Sora's POV)
That was intense. I think I scared everyone a little. Sure, I've been told I'm a good writer, but it wasn't that scary, was it?
Everyone were giving me weird looks throughout the class, and when we were finally dismissed, I was grabbed, dragged, and slammed against the wall behind the school building by someone. I saw that it was the silveret male in my Creative Writing class. He pushed me against the wall and down, forcing me into a slightly lower position.
"Who do the fuck do you think you are to show me up?"
"What?! What are you talking about?!"
The silveret had bright turquoise eyes that glared fiercely. I tried to pick up my stuff that I had dropped thanks to him, but he forced me still.
"If it hadn't been for your work, everyone would have been looking up to me, not you!"
"So what?!" I yelled at him. "So what if yours wasn't called up? I barely even wanted to be there!"
He gripped my shoulders tighter, his thumbs digging into my collarbones, making me wince.
"Because now you're probably going to be the teacher's favorite, and all you have ever done was write one good paper!"
"Well, what have you done?" I said, still wincing from his thumb placements.
He grabbed my throat and forced my face closer.
"I've been the best writer in my school since middle school! I've been in the school newspapers and magazines, and won first place in all my competitions! How are you better than me!?"
"Get away from me! Let me go!"
He let go and folded his arms in front of him, giving me a once over. He humphed.
"Can't believe you got the best paper. You look about as dangerous as a stuffed animal," he said flicking my nose.
He shoved me back against the wall again with one arm.
"Stay out of my way."
He left and I grabbed my fallen stuff and went to visit my adoptive sisters' dorm. I knocked their door and a violet-eyed red-haired girl named Kairi answered.
"Sora!" She squeezed me into a hug.
"Guys, Sora's here!"
"Sora?" A voice answered.
Out the door came my other two sisters. A blonde, blue-eyed eighteen year-old girl named Naminé, Kairi's twin, and a raven-haired blue-eyed nineteen year-old girl named Xion.
"Sora!"
They all hugged me in a group hug.
"How are you, guys?" I asked.
"We're great! Our teachers and professors are awesome and the students are so nice!" Kairi answered happily.
"Yeah, me too, but some are not so nice," I said, remembering the silveret.
"Did something happen, Sora?" Xion asked.
"Nothing to worry about, just a stuck-up know-it-all," I reassured, "have you finished unpacking?"
"No, not yet." Naminé said.
"May I help?," I offered.
"Sure!"
I started to help unpack their stuff, putting away shoes and hair products, Xion sorting through clothes, Kairi putting up posters, schedules, and calendars, and Naminé separating school supplies.
"Hey Kairi, have you seen Tidus yet? He told me he got into MU."
"Yeah! He's joining the football team, so I'm hoping to get into the cheerleading squad."
"I don't doubt you'll get in."
"Yeah," Xion agreed, "you're everything a cheerleader is: inspirational, pretty, athletic, and annoying."
"Hey!"
We burst out laughing.
"At least she didn't say 'brainless' or 'stuck-up'!" I commented.
"But we all know you're not," Xion added.
"Really?" Kairi asked.
We started mumbling things like 'well, this one time...' or 'actually...' or 'kinda... not really,' all at once.
"Oh, come on, guys!"
We laughed again before reassuring her we were joking.
"Hey Sora," Xion asked, when are you going to your next lesson,"
"Scaring starts at 11 o'clock, so in about an hour."
"I still don't understand why you chose to do Scaring as a major."
"Hey, scaring jobs are always needed in movies, I can train other monsters and do sound effects, and Halloween haunted attractions, plus it pays well for what it is."
"What about writing and Psychology?"
"All that can help me too, I can write scripts, books, and thanks to learning psychology, I can make things more realistic and engaging. And in anyway, I'll at least have a backup plan."
"Well, I'm going to be a makeup artist, so maybe we can work together."
"I don't know, remember our mom's college reunion?"
"That was one time!"
"Her face was pink!"
"That was an accident!"
"And my sweet sixteen party?" Xion asked.
"Her hair got caught in the curling iron!"
"How about the time you tried to style my fur?"
"You were cute as a fluffball!"
"I couldn't see! And everybody at school was laughing at me for three weeks!"
By that time, everyone, including Kairi,were just laughing as we kept mentioning Kairi's funny fails at cosmetics.
"Well, I have to go," I said, "can't be late on the first day of the Scaring Program."
"Bye Sora!" Kairi waved with the others.
"See ya later!" I yelled back.
Now if only nothing bad happens in the Scaring lecture...
