Acting School
By: St. Mayhew

MAN has it been a while since I've even laid eyes on this story. Well, I'm in a writing mood, so I thought I'd update it and try to update my other fics. So far, just to recap, Sora is a new student at Twilight High. So far he's met: Selphie, Tidus, Roxas, Leon, Seifer, his two lackeys, Cloud, and that's it. No Kairi Bashing in this though I can't stand her. Um... YAOI! Well some yaoi.

FYI Arks Sora Ariak - Kairi Aero Aerith

ONWARD HO! Oh and this chapter is a bit longer. Just hang with me. I'm trying to get back into writing!


The announcers voice for the show came over the TV screen loud and clear, "Last time on Kingdom Hearts! Arks had cast a Love Spell to make Julia fall desperately in love with him only for his sisters to step in and despell the magicks at work—"

"MOM TURN IT OFF PLEASE!?" Sora hollered from his bedroom just at the top of the stairs. "I really don't wanna know what just happened to Arks!"

Sora's mother walked up the stairs, to Sora it sounded like stomping. As she reached his doorway she squealed and hugged him, "My lil So-wa is all gwown up!"

The woman's hair was a darker brown than Sora's own, and it was longer, almost down to the floor again. To his eyes, she looked more like his cousin Aerith, then his actual mother. But he'd never admit it out loud. Last time he did, he had gotten hugged so tightly he had passed out cold.

"Moooom, I'm trying to do my homework. It WAS your idea that I go to a public school this time, remember," his tone was accusing and Saya was polite enough to act as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"Awe, come on Sora," her tone was mocking. "Aren't you thrilled to be around actual people for a change. It was YOUR idea to move the set to a new location after all. So what's the homework on anyway?"

Sighing he went into detail about the mathematics and science. He was suddenly grateful she had left the show go, and was spending quality time with him. It was an issue that was never a problem, until his mom got a new job.

"Mom, I love you."

"Love you too hun."

Silence reigned supreme as they looked over the problems trying to come up with a valid solution. Hours had passed and darkness had taken over Twilight Town. As the occupants of the house slept, darkness was creeping in as well.


Sora sat again, at the same table, the whole way in the back of the cafeteria. His eyes traveled over the people. This time, no one seemed to stare at him like they had yesterday. For this he was grateful, though his head was pounding from a serious headache. The bus ride had been less then comfortable. He had bashed his poor tender head multiple times off the window and had been nagged at by his "seat partner" if he was POSITIVE he wasn't Arks Harada from Kingdom Hearts.

From the buzz in the cafeteria and from what Sora could pick from people's minds, Kingdom Hearts was extremely popular here since it was said, the set had moved here as well. Shaking his head and grabbing his forehead from a sharp pain he turned to look at the person who had poked him.

Selphie stood there with her hands on her hips and beaming like the sun, "HIYA SORA!"

"Hey Selph," came Sora's sheepish reply. He wasn't one to be timid, but he had to act like it. "What's up?"

"Nothin' really, have you seen Roxas or Cloud around? Those two are normally tied to each other. I haven't seen 'em all morning," Selphie's voice was sad and Sora felt a tinge of guilt for her.

"Let's go find them," Sora stood and grinned his normal happy-go-lucky smile. "The more who search the better we can scout for them."

Part of Sora didn't want to look for Roxas, the kid with his eyes made him nervous. Though it wasn't a valid reason to avoid someone, Sora just didn't like feeling that way. The last person to make him feel like that, was in a psych ward on Destiny Isle.

Selphie's normal hyper personality came through as she grabbed Sora's arm and literally dragged him from his seat out into the halls. The halls were a blur and people jumped to get out of Selphie's way. Sora could hear her laughter and couldn't help but join in on it. He felt like he was in a portion of Kingdom Hearts were the two people ran just because they could.

Slamming down on that thought, he didn't like Selphie. She was a girl. He preferred guys to girls any day. As he tried to looked to find Roxas or Cloud, he was lost in transaction. Everyone seemed to be thinking louder and louder. Focusing on just Roxas he could sense the boy's mind was just coming around the next—

"Selphie SLOW DO—"

CRASH! Too late. Too bad. Sora was on top of Selphie, who was on top of Roxas, who was hollering at Selphie for being a hyperactive person. It was an odd realization, when people started chuckling at the three. The laughter died down to a quiet roar. The hallway was suddenly silent.

"I didn't know you three were into that," the voice was cold enough to refreeze the glaciers in the Artic. Roxas had a good view and tried to move his trapped arms to do something but Selphie wasn't letting him go.

"Go to hell Riku!"

Sora turned his head and gasped before he could stop himself, "Who's that?" Sora got off of Selphie and pointed at what he had called that. Riku Hikaru scowled at Sora and put his hands on his hips. Sora followed the hands without realizing and blushed crimson. That, was wearing tight black jeans and a purple top that had the Kingdom Hearts Logo on it. His hair was silver and Sora had to stop himself from calling Riku, Sephiroth.

"I'm a person, not a thing idiot," again the cold tone in Riku's voice made Sora shiver. "Riku Hikaru, at your service. I'm guessing your Sora Highwind, new kid from Destiny Isle."

Sora didn't have to nod, the way it was said made it come out as a statement. Selphie squeaked and Sora caught her before she could hit her head off the concrete floor of the school. Roxas was in Riku's face, his face red.

"I'll have you know, Hikaru," Roxas whispered vehemently. "I'm into guys, unlike you ya sick bastard!"

The crowd gave a slight oh and ah sound effect. Sora had to stop himself from making the others in the crowd leave. It would only make HIM cross. Sora watched in slight confusion as Roxas and Riku started screaming at each other.

"Aren't you two dating," Sora squeaked out. Again the silence reigned. Sora gulped and stood practically inbetween the two. "Or are you two broken up?"

Selphie grabbed Sora in time as two fists hit were Sora's head had just been. The sound of whooshing air made him freeze in place. Right now, he hated being in a public school and missed his Tutor.

"We're NOT dating!" Both screamed. Sora rolled his eyes and decided being shy wasn't going to work in this situation.

"Well, from the looks of things," Sora's voice had grown bored. He was slipping into Arks and he couldn't stop himself. "Ya both are acting like lover's scorned. Get over it and make up. You're starting to make me sick."

He turned on his heel and stopped, feeling all eyes on him. He hollered over his shoulder, "Bell's gonna ring. Teacher's are starting to wonder why it's so quiet, I suggest you get to --" He was cut off by the bell. People scrambled to get to class.

Sighing, he decided today, he'd cut school. No matter what the repercussion was going to be. His head was hurting again and he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. Something wasn't right. Something was off.

Not paying attention to where he was walking he slammed into someone and hit the ground hard. Looking up he groaned. Someone laughed and helped him stand. The laugh was very manly. Sora's squeak, wasn't.

"Sorry…" he shook his head and focused his eyes. He was face to face, with Tidus. Gulping he gave a weak smile.

"And just WHERE are you going, Sora?"
