A Kingdom Hearts High School Experience
By: Nietono-no-Shana
DIRECTIONS: When a question appears, write the letter of your choice on a scratch sheet of paper so you don't forget! Then, when you're done, tally up your answers with the order each boy has. Here's an example: If you chose "a" for question 1 and then "b" for question 2and then "c" for question 3...
Sora's Results (in numerical order): a, a, b
Riku's Results (in numerical order): b, b, a
Roxas's Results (in numerical order): c, c, c
If this was the outcome, you'd have one point for Sora, one point for Riku, and one point for Roxas, since your answers for each question match up with the results.
NOTE: "Numerical Order" means that the order the letters are arranged are by question number. So, for example, Sora's answers are "a, a, b". So, this means that Sora's answer for Question 1 was "a", his answer for Question 2 was "a", and his answer for Question 3 was "b".
NOTE: "000" means that a character is saying your name.
Hopefully this will go smoothly! Now, let's start KH HS! :D
PART ELEVEN
"Attention! Attention! Attention, you ungrateful children!" yelled an annoyed Vexen through a microphone.
Calling for order in a spacious theater-like auditorium was hard – especially when the whole high school was sitting in it. But for Vexen, it was twice as hard, since he had a bad record with the kids.
"Listen here!" he threatened, yelling up to the ceiling. "If you imbeciles don't quiet down this whole assembly will be canceled-!"
But sadly, the chattering of students drowned out Vexen's voice, and nobody could hear him.
Frustrated, Vexen shook a fist out to the students, and was on the verge of a temper tantrum, when Larxene came out on stage and pushed him away from the podium.
"Oh, let me do it, you useless piece of junk," she snapped.
"H-How DARE you!" Vexen yelled, who'd fallen and was splayed on the floor.
Larxene stepped up to the podium, and grabbed the microphone. She breathed in a huge breath…
"SIIIIIIILENCE!!" she screeched. Her voice was like a boom of thunder, and many kids could've sworn that they saw a flash of lightning inside the auditorium.
The whole high school immediately shut up, and there was complete and utter silence.
Vexen, who was still on the ground, was shaking after hearing Larxene's banshee-howl. She turned around and dumped the mike on Vexen's lap.
"THAT'S how you control children," she said a little too loudly. Then, she grinned and returned backstage.
1) What do you think so far?
a. Lightning!? Gee, Larxene is a BEAST.
b. Vexen is so boring! I wish someone cooler would speak to us!
c. Dang, Vexen got owned…
Vexen got up from the floor, dusted himself off, and then took the podium again. He cleared his throat and started to talk.
"Welcome to our high school's first assembly of the year," he began. "Now, I want everyone to know that you should be grateful to The Principal, because he doesn't do these sorts of things too often…"
By the time Vexen had finished his first two sentences, kids were already lulling to sleep and were getting a bit drowsy.
You were even beginning to nod off to sleep, and out of the corner of your eye, you could see Namine trying to keep her eyes open as well.
After art class, you'd decided to get your things for 3rd and 4th blocks ahead of time. The only problem had been that you weren't going to be sitting next to your friends, since you'd separated yourself from Roxas. Luckily, Namine and Riku were thinking the same thing as you, and the three of you managed to find the auditorium and get good seats on the first level of the auditorium. And now, Riku was seated on the aisle-chair to your left, and Namine was next to you on the right.
2) During school assemblies, what do you do upon entering?
a. Grab one of the front row seats.
b. Look for my friends.
c. Just take a seat.
Vexen was unaware of people who were beginning to sleep (thank goodness for dark lights, you thought to yourself) and kept on talking in his nasally and boring voice.
"Oh Vexen, you can't do anything, can you?" came a voice from behind the curtains.
Vexen stopped his speech (which was beginning to sound like a lecture) and turned around to see a young man with light brown-layered hair. The man also happened to be your English teacher.
"M-Marluxia!? W-What are you doing up here? You're not supposed to take stage yet-!"
"Come now, Vexen," Marluxia said, waving a hand out at the audience. "Take a look at the students you claim to teach."
He did so and his small, beady eyes widened when he saw some kids with closed eyes and open mouths.
"Let me take care of your job," Marluxia proposed, pushing Vexen off the podium and taking the microphone from Vexen's skinny fingers.
"Pardon the interruption, everyone," Marluxia began, his voice smooth and sweet.
At the sound of his voice, every single kid who'd fallen asleep instantly woke up and were on the edge of their seats. It was as if Marluxia's' voice was an antidote that made everyone wake up!
Marluxia glanced at Vexen out of the corner of his eyes and smirked.
"You must learn to be patient and kind with kids," Marluxia advised.
Vexen was astounded, but quickly recovered his shocked face. He snorted and flung his hand at thin air.
"Pish posh!" Vexen snapped. "I'm leaving!" And finally, the most boring science teacher left the premises.
3) What do you think so far?
a. Well, at least Vexen is gone.
b. Aw, when are the actual cool people going to take stage?
c. Ha, Vexen got owned…AGAIN.
d. (Fangirl squeal) Marluxia! (Puts up a sign that says, "I love you, Marly!" etc.)
"Now, as I was saying," Marluxia resumed, "My name is Mar-!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of screams, squeals, clapping, and cheers (mostly coming from girls).
"Wow," Namine said, blinking up at the stage, "It seems that Marluxia has a lot of fangirls."
4) What do you think of Namine's statement?
a. Marluxia has FANGIRLS?
b. Little do they know that Marly is gay…
c. I guess he does. But I still can't believe it!
d. (Points at self) I'M one of his fangirls!
"As Vexen was saying, we have a couple of announcements throughout the assembly, so please pay attention while we read them out," he explained.
At this kind order, lots of girls shut up and stared up at the graceful teacher with sparkling, wide eyes.
"First off," he began, looking at the paper that was on the podium. "The Principal has agreed to send foreign exchange students to our school for a couple of weeks."
There was a huge burst of excitement at this news. Having foreign exchange students was a rare thing in any school.
"There will be three exchange students from the foreign world of Hollow Bastion," Marluxia continued, looking down at the paper as he read. "All three of them will be in the sophomore year, and will need escorts throughout their visit."
"Wow, Hollow Bastion," Namine commented.
"What's wrong, Namine?" you asked.
"Oh, well," she whispered to you, "Hollow Bastion was a newly discovered world. It was only found just three years ago."
"And also the people there are known to be the elite," Riku added from the seat next to yours. He had his arms crossed and was staring up at the stage while he said this. "They're supposed to be good at almost anything."
"Like you?" Namine said with a small giggle.
Riku didn't reply to this.
"Well, it looks like you'll have some competition for once," Namine said after a few seconds.
"Perhaps," Riku said with a shrug.
"Volunteers who'd like to escort the students around the school should sign up their names on the bulletins next to the main office," Marluxia continued to say.
5) What do you think about the foreign exchange students?
a. Hm, I wonder who they could be?
b. Nobody is better than Riku!
c. I want to volunteer to escort them!
When he was done with Vexen's share of the announcements, he picked up the paper from the podium and folded it, since it had no purpose anymore.
"And now," he said, "May I introduce Axel and Demyx…"
At the sound of the two young teachers' names, the audience burst into applause, squeals, cries, screams, hollers, and all sorts of rowdy behavior. Some students even stood up with their arms waving. And, a row of girls held up pieces of papers that had a letter written on each one. If read, it would spell: "W E L O V E D E M Y X !" And conversely, some other posters read, "AXEL FTW!" and such.
You, Namine, and Riku looked around at all the students who were making the bursts of cheers as Axel and Demyx came out from behind the curtains. Shocked by their immense popularity, the two young men waved at their audience and smiled brightly.
"Oh…my…God…" you said with disbelief, turning around and looking up at the second-floor of the auditorium. There were lots of posters and flyers that said affectionate words to the two teachers as well.
"Surprised?" Riku asked.
"U-Um…yeah," you said with a slow nod. None of this kind of sudden outburst happened at your school. In fact, you never had an assembly for the longest time, you sort of forgot what happened…
"You'll get used to it," Namine encouraged with a smile. "Fangirl-ish stuff like this happens a lot!"
"And it's annoying," Riku said, plugging his ears with his hands.
"That's only because it happens to you," Namine pointed out.
Riku did hear her, but he pretended not to.
"W-Wow," Demyx said through his mike.
At the sound of Demyx's three-letter word, a huge wave of silence passed across the rows of students. All eyes were on Demyx and Axel now.
Demyx turned to look at Axel and blinked at him.
"It looks like we're pretty popular," Demyx said innocently.
"Well of course," Axel said, grinning and running a hand through his red spiky hair. "We're the only cool teachers in this whole school."
6) What do you think of Axel's reply to Demyx?
a. Well of COURSE you two are the only cool teachers!
b. Let's not get too confident now…
c. There are other cool teachers as well, you know!
Lots of whoops and clapping was made towards Axel's comment. It seemed most of the high school agreed with this.
"I don't get it," you whispered over to Namine.
She leaned in closer to you to get a better hearing.
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean, why is Axel so popular with the ladies, when he's a pervert?"
"Do you see any sophomores clapping?" she asked you.
You looked around at the sophomore section, and saw that they were all just staring at Axel, who was bowing and accepting an immense amount of praise. The only girls who were clapping and screaming were for Demyx.
"Axel only teaches sophomore year," Namine explained. "So that's why all the freshmen, juniors, and seniors love him. It's because they don't really know that he's a womanizer."
'Makes sense,' you thought to yourself.
"Alright, alright, Axel," Demyx said, walking over to his friend and patting him on the shoulder. "That's enough over-confidence for today."
"Hey, over-confidence is my thing," Axel protested. Then, he faced the audience and put a hand to his forehead. "Got it memorized?" he said.
More squeals from the freshmen, junior, and senior years. Once he said that, a group of girls up on the second-floor scribbled something down a huge whiteboard, which said, "WE LOVE U, AXEL!! GOT IT MEMORIZED?"
Demyx sighed and shook his head.
"Okay, well, if we get in trouble with The Superior, I'm gonna say it's all your fault."
"Trouble? What trouble?"
"ANYWAY," Demyx said, trying to withhold a laugh, "We're about to start our assembly's opening ceremony!"
Axel got the hint that Demyx wanted to get the show on the road, so began to focus on their announcement as well.
"That's right," he added. "And these three girls were kind enough to give us one hell of show!"
"Uh-Huh!" Demyx said with a nod. "They are our Official Band, and they've won countless awards and trophies in singing competitions."
"Ladies and gents," Axel began. "May we introduce to you…"
…The Gullwings!"
7) What do you think?
a. NO WAY! The GULLWINGS are the band?!
b. …Figures.
c. They have a weird band name. But then again, lots of bands do.
On cue, the curtains parted, and music began to play from the huge stereo boxes, which were placed on both sides of the stage. Axel exited the stage via the left, and Demyx left via the right. The lights dimmed, and a blue-light was cast on the center of the stage, which showed the dark outlines of three girls. As the blue light turned to a regular light, you noticed that one had a microphone in her hand, while another girl was on the drums, and the last girl was on the electric guitar. The girl who was about to sing had short brown hair, which curled at the tips. The guitarist looked punk and serious, who had silver hair and red eyes. And the drummer…
"…Rikku?" you said aloud through the claps and cheers from others.
Riku, who thought you'd said his name, turned to look at you.
"Yeah?"
"N-No, I meant her," you said, pointing at the blond drummer. "It's Rikku!"
"Oh, you know her?" Namine asked, surprised.
"I ran into her in the sophomore hallway," you explained.
But your explanation would have to wait, because the lead girl had just started singing a piece of music that most Final Fantasy Fans should know…
NOTE: The three girls aren't dressed in their regular school uniforms. Instead, they're wearing their attire from Kingdom Hearts II.
Everyone started clapping to the beat of the song, and before the singer began her memorized lyrics, Rikku's voice (she had a microphone-headset on) blared onto the stereos.
"We're Yuna, Rikku, and Paine, and this is 'Real Emotion!'" And with that, the girl named Yuna started to sing their hit song.
(A/N): What would be really cool was if you actually listened to this song and followed the lyrics. Maybe then you'd feel like you're actually at the concert! Just a suggestion, though…Anyway, I cut out all the "What can I do for you" stuff, and just put in the main lyrics. Have fun reading or skipping this part!
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart
I could see a place that's something like this
Every now and then I don't know what to do
Still I know that I can never go back
But the things I've seen in those hazy dreams
Can't compare to what I'm seeing now
Everything's so different
That it brings me to my knees
And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give in to it
Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me:
"You'll never be alone"
And if I find the real world of emotion has surrounded me
And I can't go on
You are there the moment that I close my eyes to comfort me
We are connected for all of time
I'll never be...
And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give in to it
Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me:
"You'll never be alone"
The lights of the auditorium returned to normal, and once Yuna had put her mike down and lowered her head, many people in the auditorium gave them a standing applause, along with the usual cheers, screams, and whoops.
You clapped for them as well, and secretly hoped that a record artist would pick up The Gullwings. And, if they were discovered and given a record deal, 'Real Emotion' b would be their first hit single. And, when it was posted up on iTunes, you would be able to download it onto your iPod.
"Thank you! Thank you, everyone!" Yuna said modestly, a huge smile on her face and waving to her fellow classmates and students. She turned around and gave Rikku and Paine a thumbs up.
"Thank you, Gullwings," Zexion said as he clapped his hands while walking onto the stage.
Yuna, Rikku, and Paine were already packing up their things and the curtains closed behind them. And instead of the two-minute rock concert, it returned to the old, boring announcements.
"If you're all interested, The Gullwings will be performing in the Annual Band Face-off in a few weeks. Anyone who is interested in attending should pick up flyers near the cafeteria entrance."
Namine turned to look at you and Riku and said, "Hey, do you think we should all go there when they perform?"
8) What do you think?
a. Sure! I'd love to go!
b. Meh…I guess so.
c. Of course! Concerts are the best!
Riku nodded in approval, and you did too.
"Now, as for more announcements," Zexion said, walking over to the podium Marluxia had spoken on. "Exams will be taken next week."
There was a wave of groans, gasps, and complains throughout the audience.
"Teachers will provide the information needed to take the upcoming exams tomorrow and on Friday. The exams will be taken in Science, Mathematics, and English. If you need help, you can always come to the study sessions, which will be held on both Thursday and Friday. Teachers will be available for study-help, as well."
At this, the groans turned to happy squeals and exclamations of joy. If you got to pick any teacher you wanted to study with, well…that meant lots of things. Of course, if you wanted to study with someone like, oh, I don't know, Demyx, then you'd have to arrive early to get a front-row seat.
"Spaces are few, so sign your names up on the boards posted at the cafeteria's doors." Zexion continued to say.
"You won't need a teacher-tutor," Riku said to both you and Namine.
The two of you looked at him with confusion.
He noticed that the two of you weren't catching on, so he sighed.
"I mean that I'll help all of you study for those exams."
9) What do you think?
a. Yay! Riku volunteered to help tutor me (and everyone) again!
b. But I wanted to study with a teacher!
c. Group studying is good, I guess. Thanks, Riku!
"Great!" you and Namine said in unison.
"That's so nice of you!" Namine said, a small grin creeping onto her face. "Is it because 000 is here now?"
"W-What!?" Riku exclaimed. "Of course not!" He immediately turned away and faced the aisle, looking away from the two of you. "I just feel in a giving mood, that's all…" he huffed, crossing his arms in a defiant manner.
"Aw, I think he's blushing," Namine whispered to you with a wink. It seemed she liked to tease Riku a lot.
"And with those parting announcements," Zexion concluded, "Let me pass the microphone over to the Junior Class President, Cloud."
Lots of sharp breaths were heard throughout the auditorium, and many girls were on the edge of their seats, their hands together and placed firmly on their laps. The boys, however, were laid back and bored, since nothing cool like The Gullwings were going to come anytime soon.
Cloud walked out onto the stage, and a polite amount of clapping was given to him as he bowed and acknowledged people's applause.
"Thank you," he began in the most polite tone you'd ever heard.
You turned your head behind you and tried to see if you could find Roxas somewhere on the first floor. Unfortunately, you couldn't. You'd really wanted to see his expression when he saw his older brother come onto the stage.
"I'm here to talk about the other activists that are optional at our high school," Cloud explained. "They're run by upperclassmen, like me and other juniors and seniors."
You looked to your right, and you could've sworn that you could see Namine looking up at Cloud with awe, and you could barely make out a few blush marks streaked across her face…! Surely this wasn't a trick of your eyes, right?
10) What do you think of Namine's posture/actions?
a. She likes Cloud?! Really?!
b. Aw, I though she liked either Roxas or Riku!
c. Hm, I wonder if Roxas will have feelings for Namine later on…
"I'd like to welcome the other mentors as well," he continued to say, "May I please introduce Leon, Aerith, Tifa, and Yuffie."
There was another polite wave of applause as the four juniors came out from the stage. Lots of the underclassmen – especially the freshmen, were commenting on how pretty and cool they looked (especially the brunette-haired guy, whose name was Leon).
Cloud was the only one with the microphone, and the five formed a straight line that went down like this: Cloud, Leon, Aerith, Tifa, and then Yuffie.
"The first option," he said, "Is an Art Club, which I help out with."
You could hear a small gasp from Namine, and when you turned your head to look, her blue eyes were glittering with hope, and she had her hands cupped to her mouth. She was in total shock when Cloud had said this.
"Anyone can join, and if you just want to take a break from schoolwork and draw or paint, then feel free to drop by." (There were lots of shaking heads from the junior and senior teachers, who were standing to the side. After all, Cloud had said "if you just want to take a break from schoolwork")
Cloud passed the mike to his best friend, Leon.
"Aerith and I," he said, nodded over at the brunette girl with a long, neatly tied braid. "Take care of the Community Service Club." To help finish with their little introduction, Leon passed the mike to Aerith, who took it gently with her two hands.
"This goes great for your college resume, and also it helps out other people around Destiny Islands and other worlds." She said with a smile.
Then, the microphone was passed from Aerith to Tifa and Yuffie, who both had a hold on it together.
"And we help out with the Fitness Club," Tifa said with a proud smile.
"Anyone who didn't get in for a sport or someone who just wants to exercise can come with us!" a younger-looking girl with short black hair said. (Oddly, Yuffie shouldn't be in junior year, so that made her the youngest-looking of her grade level.)
You heard a boy's voice from behind you make a small cheer and whispered over to his friend, "Dude, let's take that club!"
"Why?"
"Because of that Tifa-girl!"
"Huh?"
"Dude, check her out! She has such big…"
"Eyes?" the other boy said.
"NO!" the first boy hissed.
'Oh,' you thought to yourself with a roll of your eyes. It seemed that Tifa and Yuffie would get lots of boy students…
"It's all voluntary, so you don't need to join," Yuffie added. "And you don't need a sign-up sheet at all! There are an INFINTE amount of spaces!" She moved her hands in a wide gesture, and you could see the guy named Leon shake his head in disapproval and put a hand to his forehead.
"Um, right, Yuffie," Tifa said with a small laugh. "Anyway, other than our optional activities, there's also going to be a mentoring field trip, which the upperclassmen will monitor for the underclassmen."
11) What do you think?
a. A school field trip!? Oh, that'll be fun!
b. I wonder where the trip is?
c. Oh, who's going to be my chaperone?
"The trip will take place after Exam Week, as Zexion-Sensei had said a little earlier," Aerith said, who now had the mike. Her happy attitude and irresistible smile almost made it impossible for everyone to not smile back at her. She had such a calm air about her…
"Thanks for listening, guys," Leon said with a small bow.
Now that everyone knew that their speech was over, everyone stood up to clap and applaud them. For juniors, those five seemed quite active and responsible.
"This concludes our assembly!" said Demyx as he came out from backstage. "Please go to your third block class!"
The assembly was done, so everyone got up from their seats and started towards the exits. You, Namine, and Riku managed to get out from the mesh of people. However, once you'd gotten out from the dark auditorium, who turned your head and saw that Namine had strayed from the you and Riku and instead was making a beeline towards…
"Cloud?" you said aloud.
"Hm?" Riku said, stopping and turning around to look at you.
Stopping at the exit where other people were getting out wasn't the smartest idea, but you were curious to see why Namine was walking over to Cloud.
Cloud had already left backstage, and was hanging out with his usual set of buddies, Leon, Tifa, Aerith, and Yuffie. The five were making small chat, until Namine slowly walked over to Cloud.
Instantly, their talking stopped and all eyes were on Namine.
"U-Um," she stammered, looking down at the ground and twiddling her fingers. "I-I think you did a great job out there,"
"Huh? Oh, thanks," Cloud said plainly.
12) What do you think of Cloud's reply?
a. Um, can you be a bit more nicer than just a 'Oh thanks?!' This is Namine, hello!
b. You can do it, Namine! Just tell him that you like him!
c. Cloud is so modest…
Namine blushed and tightened her hands together. She was getting really nervous now.
"U-Uh…um…"
Cloud's friends didn't say anything, and were staring down at her with wonder. They, too, were interested to see what she was going to say to Cloud! (Especially Tifa and Aerith).
"I was also wondering when your…um…Art Club will start. B-Because I…like art."
"Oh," Cloud said simply, his eyes blinking down at her. "Well, it's not really decided yet."
"I-I see," she stammered. She shut her eyes and probably felt stupid that she'd asked this early.
"But," he said. "It's great to now that you're going to join."
Her eyes opened up wide again, and, for the first time, she looked up at Cloud and he was smiling down at her. It was one of those encouraging smiles, and even though it wasn't one of those "I-love-you" smiles, it meant the whole world to Namine.
And, as an added bonus, he patted her shoulder as he started to walk off with his friends.
"I'll make sure to tell you when it'll start," he said as began to leave.
Namine stood frozen, and watched as he walked away. When he was gone from her sigh, she blushed even more and smiled in spite of herself.
You'd seen the whole thing, and now that it was done, you raced over to Namine, who was clearly happy with what had just happened.
"Nice going, Namine!" you said, smiling at her and extending a hand for a high-five.
She was shocked when she saw you before her, and she reluctantly did a high-five.
"W-What are you doing here, 000!?" she exclaimed.
"I saw what happened!" you said truthfully. "And you like Cloud, right?"
Namine looked around, just to make sure the people who were still exiting the auditorium weren't listening in.
"W-Well, yes," she whispered in a small voice. "B-But I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell him…"
"But at least you're going to be in his art class, right?"
She nodded happily.
"Mm-Hm! And," she added, tapping her shoulder. "He patted me on the shoulder!"
You laughed at this, since she was getting overly obsessive about it.
Who knew that a shy girl like Namine would open up this easily?
13) What do you think of Namine's chance of getting Cloud?
a. Um, fat chance. It's going to be hard facing against Tifa and Aerith.
b. I believe Namine can do it! She's just gotta be braver!
c. Hm, I don't know. But I'll be rooting for her!
After saying a few more words of encouragement, you headed off to your 3rd-block class, which was physical education. And, it was also the class that had your one and only pervert-of-a-teacher, Axel.
To Be Continued…
