Is This Really Who We Are?
Summary: 3 seniors in high school struggle with who they seem to be and who they really are. Kairi Pureheart wants to prove she's not perfect, the title that comes with being popular. Sora McKey wants to prove he isn't the jerk everyone thinks he is. Riku Fallentrue wants to prove he isn't the lost cause that he has been labeled as. Can these three show everyone their true selves and find real, genuine, sincere happiness?
Disclaimer:I don't own anything but Sara and she barly exists so I own nothing, really.
Well, just for you Kiersten, I made sure I wrote this chapter first! So for anyone waiting for this chapter here you go. I hope you enjoy! Hey it wouldn't hurt to review at the end would it. Critism and Flames are welcome!
What is So Great About Me?:
Jerk. A rude, insensitive person. That's what I'm commonly labeled as, because I am a jerk. I, Sora McKey happen to be the most popular guy at Destiny High, and because of this I am a jerk to everyone. It's my "job". The popular guy is the player, selfish, rude, and the biggest asshole in the whole school. And that's exactly how I am. But I'm not happy being this way. Do you think I want to be the guy everyone hates, but everyone is nice to because they're afraid of you? You have so much power and their afraid you'll use it against them. What's so great about that?
Sure all the girls want to go out with me. All the guys envy me. I rule the school along with the Teen Queen Kairi, but what makes you think all of this makes me happy? You know what else? Kairi and me are supposed to be the most popular people in school. We talk all the time but it's always about clothes, or couples or other materialistic things. Everyone in Destiny High is conceited and they don't see it. People like Kairi. I know them but then I don't know them. We all hide our thoughts, feelings and emotions behind masks and walls so in reality I have no friends. I understand no one and no one understands me.
To make matters worse, I can get any girl in the school except the one I really want. Who might this be? Possibly a girl I barely know, like Kairi. Why do I like her? Sure she's beautiful, and smart, and sweet, but I really like her because of the few times I talked to her alone. She always seemed different. She was hiding how she truly felt but it was obvious she wanted to let it free, unlike everyone else. She wanted to let a butterfly break out of the cocoon but she was afraid. Afraid like everyone else in this world. Afraid like me.
So what would happen if Kairi and I actually went out? We would be a walking cliché, and everything about our 'relationship' would be publicized at school. How great is that? So what is my destiny? To die alone or to be so generic. Even if Kairi ever liked me I couldn't go out with her. She is Doug's girlfriend and of course there are those unwritten rules, 'never go out with your friend's ex'. So in reality I have no chance with Kairi. Lucky me?
What if all the guys wanted to be me? Do you honestly think that makes me happy? They only want to be me because I'm cute, and funny, and sweet yet a jerk at the same time. To the guys I am the image of perfection. What every guy wants but most will never get. Some might say I'm lucky that I'm so popular. I think it's a curse. It ruins your life. People suck up to me just because I'm rich and popular. My so-called friends just hang out with me because of what they get out of it. Do you think any of the guys actually care about me? I could be dying and they would be worried, but not about me. They would be worried about there own popularity. Doesn't my life sound great!
Wait it gets even better! Ever since I got popular, the guys would come over to my house. Now if I acted all nice they would think I'm weird so I have to act like a jerk at home. My little sister, Sara and me used to be so close. Now she tells me to "burn in Hell" or that she hates me just because I act like a jerk to her when the guys are around. How great is that? I let my "friends" influence me at home and now my own sister hates me. My parents say I am disrespectful and I now get grounded every month! Doesn't that sound so great?
I don't want to be unoriginal! I don't want to be an insensitive jerk all my life! I want to be in love with someone with truly loves me! I want to be free from this Hell and finally reach my Heaven! I want to be with Kairi and have real friends! I want a life not made of lies! I want to be happy! Is that too much to ask?
So tell me:
What is so great about me?
Next chapter is Riku's chapter! I hope you enjoyed this one and continued reading! Remember I accept all types of reviews! :)
