" HELLO there." A nurse says monotonously, looking up at you. " Are you here to see that teenage kid?"
Without awaiting your answer, she stands up and begins walking routinley down the hall. Through some out the windows of the long, winding corrider, there are glimpses of vicious looking things, that appeared to be once people, long ago. Some jumping around the room, and others sitting quietly, rocking. A few appear to be snaking across the floor on their bellies, along with some other things that should not be mentioned. " I don't know why such a thing like that was put here," the nurse says, her marionette lines growing dark with her frown. She wears a white uniform, that is not unlike something an army cadet would wear. Her hair is a fading brown, pulled back into a bun that sags on her neck. She is old, and her eyes are hard and deep from years of this tormenting job. " This is such an extreme level of security, you know. Mostly for adults." The clicking of her and yours shoes echo throughout it, and she begins jangling her key chain for the right lock-opener, as you draw near. " Lots of teenagers are sent to asylums, you know. They are such fragile things, overly dramatic. Todays society has given them no back bone." Her frown deepens, her brows knit together in almost a unibrow.
She is official looking, keeping calm and blunt as her job aquires, but there is kindness and good will in her, shes a nice old thing, and its almost pitious that she has to work at such a place. Her name tag, pinned neatly over her pencil pocket, reads:"CATHRINE DORWINS " Most of them are just for overly dangerous rough-housing,you know how they are....or attempted suicide...but they most go to the emmotional therapy places or regular asylums. Never ones like this...He mustve done something bad, real bad. I can't see what he would've done though. I'm just the clerk, they don't tell us the patients reason or condition." The old woman seems to be talking to herself now, but you listen on as she tells you the lullaby in her life-exhausted voice. "...all I know is, he never gives us trouble."She pauses to confirm that the door has the correct number, and continues in almost a whisper, as though the empty shell inside the room could hear. "All he ever does is sit still all day there, murming something about a 'Riku'". Cathy seems to have ended the conversation as she stops infront of padded room number what the heck. Then, slowly, the key pausing right infront of the lock, she says. " That Riku mustve' been real important to him, whoever he was." She smiles breifly, her thin mauve lipstick coated lips curling up, and for a moment there are no lines, and she seems 20 again. Catherine Dorwins hasn't smiled alot in her life, and its clear as day to you. Then it fades, and she resumes her stiff like manner."I assume you know the drill, remove all weopen like objects and enter. The gaurds will be just outside, so just holler if theres any problems." You nod, and she turns the knob, and you begin to walk into the room. Just as you pass her, she whispers," I hope he can rest in peace one of these days. " But you don't have time to compute what she says as the door shuts behind you, and you are left in the white room.
Sitting on the bed, dressed in the patients blue gown is the storyteller. You turn to him slowly, as not to alarm him, as you were instructed. He looks at you weakly. Youv'e seen pictures of him before he was registered here, and he has deffinatley changed. His hair has grown out, the spikes still defy gravity, but seem to sag abit. Its edges in the back curl around the nape of his neck. Its a darker brown too, for some reason. His island tan betrayed him, and now the thought this boy ever had *been* to a beach didn't even occur. He was pale, with just a tint of yellow, the only hue that keeps him from blending into the white padded walls. He didn't have the muscles of his youth, either, and if he did, then he seemed just too tired to move like it. His eyes are a stormy, souless blue, and they stare at you hauntingly as if daring to show that you are alive.
You contemplate saying some form of greeting, or something casual, but your trap is too slow.
" I didn't know I would see him there." Sora says, seeming as though you had left for just a minute rather than a few days. " Well, maybe subconciously, I had some weird hope that I would." You nod, and quickly make your mind on whether to sit or stand for this. You don't really care though, you just want to hear the story.
"He was there though...and I kind of wished that hope had been concious so I could've felt even better that he was there...Riku..." As Sora speaks in his soft,slightly hoarse voice, his eyes seem to glaze over and he looks over at one of the walls: the look of rememberance. As if there were a T.V displaying all these things he is preparing to tell you, on one of the padded walls of St.Pao(pu) Mental Institution for the Criminally Insane.

I don't remember falling asleep. But when I woke up, Riku was gone. Had he been a dream?
I think I would cry if that were so. I sat up and felt my eyes prick. I don't know why I was so ready to cry. I had only known Riku for what...practically not even a day. But I felt...happy...around him. And thats something I'm sure not many people get the chance to feel for real. Riku....my happiness....was a dream. I looked up and a single tear rolled down my cheek. That's when I saw it. Footprints leading from the window to my bed, and back. They were mud ones, shining bright against my floor. Floor...? It appear someone had tentavley kicked my clothes and garbage out of the way, making a small carpeting trail to my bed. With footprints.
I felt stupid (and girly) as hell for crying then. But it didn't really matter as I was over come with releif.
Stop laughing you asswipes.
Wow, okay, I was over my emmotional trauma.
I stumbled out of bed wiping my eyes on my arms lightly and began to dig out some clothes.
Several minutes later I stumbled out of the door wearing olive green cargo shorts and a black t-shirt, munching messily on a toaster pastry. Yeah...I don't like pants. Oh! And guess what? I was *wearing* my shoes.
I licked off some of the white frosting stuff while I half walked/half jogged to my nearby school, my crown necklace clanging noisily.
Mmm....it Was gooey and warm ( the pastry he means)...I think it was some kinda apple or blueberry filling...I don't know. The flakey brown crust was getting grease all over my fingers. I was hungry, and it was cold out, so it was all the better. I shifted my backpack so it would stop cutting into my shoulder like.....a....sharp...thing.
I think I was about a 3rd of the way to school when I was jumped from behind.
Hahaha. I almost pissed myself *and* I *dropped* my pastry.
I of course, began to scream as I was pinned down on the sidewalk, with *whatever* had tackled me, on my back.
" AHH! RAPE! BATTERY AND ASSAULT! "
" What the...shut up Soar Ah! " said whatever.
I blinked a moment before saying in disbeleif " Ree koo? "
A chuckle ripped through the air and the weight was removed from my spine. I stood up and didn't even bother brushing myself off cheesily. I spun around to gape at Riku, whom was smirking at me. Oh wait, I meant smiling-... WHAT!? Smiling Rikus! LE GASP!
I eyed him and eyed him and stared at him...and....looked at him and watched him...
Of course, I was interrupted in my synonim' thingy list when Riku raised a brow and leaned forward till we almost touched noses. " Heyyyy."
I leaned forward and pushed my nose against his. " Heyyy,yourself."
We stood like that for about 4 minutes until I screamed, " HA! YOU BLINKED!"
This, of course, caused Riku to lurch away. " Wha- Sora, we werent having a staring contest!"
I stuck out my tounge." Were so."
" No."
"yeah."
"no."
"yeah."
"no."
"no."
"right."
I growled in frustration because he hadnt fallen for it. He simply laughed and ruffled my hair. Cause he could do that-he was about 6 inches taller than me. Curse my short legs. CURSE THEM!
" So what are you doing here?" I asked, and he responded by walking away.
ehem?
I trailed along behind him. " Well?" I said as though he were deaf, and I jogged to catch up. He started jogging, too. " what the shit? Riku!"
Eventually we ended up chasing eachother all the way to school. Riku stopped suddenly infront of the lawn, and I almost ran domino-like into him. Good thing I didn't. Cause ya know, that wouldve been emm-bear-ass-ing.
I was panting, but Riku seemed fine. What the hell was he? A dolphin? Wait, thats not right...
" Im go here."
I looked up, eh? Riku merley smiled and said,"since today, I go to this school."
My only real ability was to gape. "my- the school?!"
He nodded and grinned. " Yep, imma newbie," he grabbed my shoulders," so you gotta lead me around, okaaaay?" As he said this,he whirled me around and shoved me onto school campus, like I was his human sheild. Oh yeah. I bet Rikus in the Mafia. Oh yeah, I bet he *is*.
As we walked down the sidewalk like that, we earned many stares from boys and girls alike.
The boys stares were of mockery and confusion. Bleh, stupid boys.
The girls stares were of lust- what the feck? Bleh, stupid girls.
We walked into the school and I squirmed away from my shoulders silver haired captor.
I made a face at him, but he wasnt paying attention. Aquamarine eyes scanned the hallways, and I could only scoff.
"Ugly ass school, eh?" I said. My companion looked in my direction and smirked.
" triple ass."
I burst into laughter then, because 'triple ass' is a funny thing to say. Riku must've thought i'd gone craaay zee. heehee! Suddenly, the bell rang. I stood up and grabbed Riku by the collar and dragged him off to the side. He near yelled as he was gagged by my collar grabbing abilities," What the f-" but was cut off as nearly a billion kids burst through the doors. He stared at them. " Oh....thanks."
I smiled. " gladly."
He looked at me with this look where he had eyebrows. that did stuff. um. yeah.
" That didnt make sense. "
" I know. "
I began to walk to my locker, and Riku really had no choice but to follow.
I opened my locker and began to get stuff, and Riku suprisingly opened the one next to me-
" Your lockers next to me?" I said, suprised. My suspicions were proven wrong as Riku grabbed items out of it, and dropped them on the floor. " Now it is." He said. I stared at him, and began to snicker. Licking his lips, he kicked the items underneath the lockers and shut the door, pulling a peice of paper out of his pocket. " Hmm...okay Sora, wheres room B..8?" I pouted a bit. " Aw man, I have Science first. "
He clicked his tounge, looking amused. " Now Sora, you can't have me all to yourself, now can you?"
I stuck my jaw out at him, and pulled down my eye lid in what I hoped was a zombie look.
Riku rolled his eyes. " Why are you so weird?"
I giggled. " Because."
He shook his head and patted me on mine as though I was a lost 5 year old. Normally, I would've bitten him hand, but he was Riku, and he had pretty hair,so I guess he could get away with it.
" Thats not proper english. " He whispered, then he stuck his tounge out at me and began to walk in the B8 room's direction. Pff, so he *did* know where it was.
---
The rest of the day was uneventful, apparently I didn't have any classes with Riku. It seemed forever and a year until the minute hand on the clock moved signalling lunch. As I walked into the cold lunch room, I scanned around for him. I saw him- near the end of the lunch line. I had forgotten my lunch, so I just walked up to him and got in line, ignoring the complaints from the person whom I'd cut. " hey Reekoo! So how life?" I said, grinning.
He shrugged casually, " Bearable,more or less, though the cafeteria's paint is an dreadful colour."
We both snorted and he got out of line. I looked at him quizically. " Aren't you eating?"
As we left he cafeteria he responded, " Arent *you* eating?"
" No."
" Well theres your answer."
I was about to say something incredibly witty, but then some all too familiar forms of existence stomped up to us, batting their falshe eyelashes at my bestest friend. *MY* bestest friend! MINE!
I stared at them cynically, as I always did, and huffed out some of my evil aura filled breath. And I don't mean it smelled- I brushed my teeth this morning- I mean I don't like them.
" Hello, *Kairi* " I said, spitting venom on her stupid girly name.
Kairi was a girl at my school-incase you haven't figured that out-whom I didn't like. You see, i'll skip the whole ramble of social steriotypes, im considered a loser, and Kairi is considered a queen. Shes a stuck up pop-you-lar bitch who always hangs out with her stupid little gang and always giggles *too* loudly in the halls. Her two groupies are some hyperactive dress wearing weirdos who both have brown hair. They all pick on me-we are mortal enemies-but Kairi is the worst.
She smiled a 99$ lipstick smile filled with poisened sugar. " Hello Sora! So nice to-Oh! And who is *this*?"
They all turned to Riku and began to pull out their charms- the hair flip, eyelash batting,smiles. It was obvious that they had known he was there all along, and it was even *more* painfully obvious that they had rehearsed all of this. I did *not* want to introduce Riku to them. So what....maybe Riku was right about me hoggin him to myself, but these girls were spawned from the queen ant of ebilness! I had to *save* him from their clutches.
So I said the first thing that came to my mind. Im not very good at thinking up last minute plans-
" Oh um...this is...Jessica."
They all looked suprised at that, even Jessica, who as you know, wasn't Jessica.
Kairi gaped abit, looking from me to Jessica, to Jessicas chest and no no spot.
" But...he....Jessica?!" she said.
Then, Riku did something that suprised even me. In a soft feminine voice, he said. " *he*? Im a *girl*"
Obviously he was good at altering his voice. But still, I hadn't expected that...! Ah, Riku, so full of suprises.
All the girls looked stunned for a moment, before Kairi went 'hmph'! and whirled around, swishing her hair dramatically. When they were out of sight, I turned to the 'girl', showing my suprise on my face.
" you *played* along?"
Riku grinned and put his hand on my head. Thinking back, he did that alot- he mustve liked my hair conditioner or something. " Thanks for trying to save me. " was all he said. I blinked at him confused, and he responded by putting my into a head lock, chuckling. " Oh come now Sora- don't you think I know a club soda girl when I see one?"
I gagged, and squirmed away. " Club soda?!"
He nodded, " yep, all fizz and no essense."
I stared at the silver haired freak, who was very philosiphical. Did I say that right?
" Ok then," I said, pouting. I don't know why I pouted- I just like to do that," what kind of soda am *I*?"
We began to walk to class, and he said after a thoughtful moment," root beer."
" Huh?" Rootbeer? I personally think I am a pepsi. Because Britney Spears advertises me.
" Yep! foamy and a funny taste. " he turned to grin at me, his green eyes shining phycoticly. I smiled at him and walked alittle to the side, bumping him in the ribs. " Well then, your a Pepsi One."
He looked at me in a cool manner, one eyebrow cocked, but his eyes shined with confusion and curiosity.
I think I smiled then, and I said something along the lines of "your hard to find,but you taste really good and give rats cancer". Riku gave people cancer. My question was, 'how long before I lose my hair?'
I remember cleary then- Riku swung his arm on my shoulder lazily, pulling me close to him, and boxed my ear playfully with his fist. Then he said something,laughing a laugh that made my heart swell for some reason.
" Sora, you are *crazy*"

A chuckle ripped through the air and the weight was removed from my spine. I stood up and didn't even bother brushing myself off cheesily. I spun around to gape at Riku, whom was smirking at me. Oh wait, I meant smiling-... WHAT!? Smiling Rikus! LE GASP!
I eyed him and eyed him and stared at him...and....looked at him and watched him...
Of course, I was interrupted in my synonim' thingy list when Riku raised a brow and leaned forward till we almost touched noses. " Heyyyy."

The rest of the day was uneventful, apparently I didn't have any classes with Riku. It seemed forever and a year until the minute hand on the clock moved signalling lunch. As I walked into the cold lunch room, I scanned around for him. I saw him- near the end of the lunch line. I had forgotten my lunch, so I just walked up to him and got in line, ignoring the complaints from the person whom I'd cut. " hey Reekoo! So how life?" I said, grinning.
He shrugged casually, " Bearable,more or less, though the cafeteria's paint is an dreadful colour."
We both snorted and he got out of line. I looked at him quizically. " Aren't you eating?"

She smiled a 99$ lipstick smile filled with poisened sugar. " Hello Sora! So nice to-Oh! And who is *this*?"
They all turned to Riku and began to pull out their charms- the hair flip, eyelash batting,smiles. It was obvious that they had known he was there all along, and it was even *more* painfully obvious that they had rehearsed all of this. I did *not* want to introduce Riku to them. So what....maybe Riku was right about me hoggin him to myself, but these girls were spawned from the queen ant of ebilness! I had to *save* him from their clutches.
So I said the first thing that came to my mind. Im not very good at thinking up last minute plans-
" Oh um...this is...Jessica."
They all looked suprised at that, even Jessica, who as you know, wasn't Jessica.
Kairi gaped abit, looking from me to Jessica, to Jessicas chest and no no spot.
" But...he....Jessica?!" she said.
Then, Riku did something that suprised even me. In a soft feminine voice, he said. " *he*? Im a *girl*"
Obviously he was good at altering his voice. But still, I hadn't expected that...! Ah, Riku, so full of suprises.
All the girls looked stunned for a moment, before Kairi went 'hmph'! and whirled around, swishing her hair dramatically. When they were out of sight, I turned to the 'girl', showing my suprise on my face.
" you *played* along?"
Riku grinned and put his hand on my head. Thinking back, he did that alot- he mustve liked my hair conditioner or something. " Thanks for trying to save me. " was all he said. I blinked at him confused, and he responded by putting my into a head lock, chuckling. " Oh come now Sora- don't you think I know a club soda girl when I see one?"
I gagged, and squirmed away. " Club soda?!"
He nodded, " yep, all fizz and no essense."
I stared at the silver haired freak, who was very philosiphical. Did I say that right?
" Ok then," I said, pouting. I don't know why I pouted- I just like to do that," what kind of soda am *I*?"
We began to walk to class, and he said after a thoughtful moment," root beer."
" Huh?" Rootbeer? I personally think I am a pepsi. Because Britney Spears advertises me.
" Yep! foamy and a funny taste. " he turned to grin at me, his green eyes shining phycoticly. I smiled at him and walked alittle to the side, bumping him in the ribs. " Well then, your a Pepsi One."
He looked at me in a cool manner, one eyebrow cocked, but his eyes shined with confusion and curiosity.
I think I smiled then, and I said something along the lines of "your hard to find,but you taste really good and give rats cancer". Riku gave people cancer. My question was, 'how long before I lose my hair?'
I remember cleary then- Riku swung his arm on my shoulder lazily, pulling me close to him, and boxed my ear playfully with his fist. Then he said something,laughing a laugh that made my heart swell for some reason.
" Sora, you are *crazy*"
