Chapter 3: The school
A/N Thanks so much to organization-member-xiv for being my first reviewer, and so far, only reviewer : ( Anyway, I think the story has been getting better the farther it goes, so I'm going to be updating a lot most likely because I don't really want to do summer homework, hehehehe. That's ok; I'll have the whole homework thing done in a couple weeks. Don't know where I was going with this author's note, so here's the chapter.
The bus stopped, but everyone aboard was too mesmerized to do anything. They all stared until an adult stepped on.
"Thanks, Cid." The mysterious man said.
Cid stepped off the bus and headed toward the large doors.
"Cid is going to be your world history teacher, unfortunately not one of your more exciting classes."
There was still no movement among the students.
"Does anybody have a guess who I am?"
There was one small boy that said quietly, "Are you the principal?"
"Yes. My name is Ansem, if you hear teachers talk about me they might say something like: "Ansem the wise" but I'll not have that foolery around me. If you students are to address me, please make it simple. Anyway, come along!"
After a few moments, the students in the front of the bus rose and followed Ansem up toward the school.
They were first taken on a tour of the school, with a brief description on all the main rooms.
"There are so many rooms in this castle that you'll never have the chance to explore, try as you will, though."
Kairi and Sora looked at each other, both realizing that he had just said the same thing that Kairi had on the plane.
"This is no ordinary school." Sora whispered to Kairi.
"This is no coincidence, either." Kairi added.
"I wonder why he's called Ansem the wise."
"I bet he's really smart, a good leader, and…"
"-a magician?" Sora asked.
"I don't know how to put it, did he give me that dream, is this a coincidence after all?"
"Kairi, you dreamed of a place you'd never seen before and dreamt it right."
"I never remember my dreams." Riku said, suddenly including himself in the conversation.
"Me neither." Said Sora, "Except when they're scary ones about the monsters under my bed."
Riku and Kairi looked at Sora suspiciously.
"Don't you guys have monsters under YOUR beds?" Sora inquired.
"We're just getting off topic." Kairi annoyingly said.
Ansem had gone over the Library, a couple of classrooms, and they were headed to the Dining Hall.
"This," Ansem began, "is the dining hall." He opened large doors and a gasp arose from the students. It was huge. Every thing inside was big. It had a large crystal chandelier in the middle of the room, tall stained glass windows on three sides of the room, long tables throughout the hall, giant plates and glasses, and every piece of food there was large and perfect. At the head of the hall were one long table and some quality seats.
"It looks appetizing, huh?" Ansem said.
Many students nodded their heads.
"Too bad you missed lunch hour."
There was a groan from the students.
"There are several rooms that I didn't show you, because you will be shown those later. But now, I'm going to take you to your rooms. There will be four to a room, and they've already been chosen. Don't worry; everyone has a room with at least one person they came with. Usually we have two pairs in a room so you will meet two new people. We hope you can get along, because you'll be sharing a room with them until next year for sure. We don't transfer or trade. So you'd better learn to like each other. You can't sneak yourself into another room saying: "Yeah, I'm Fred." We have pictures and identity, and you will be put in your room and your administrator will make sure everything is in check.
A girl raised her hand. "Administrators?"
"Older students that have a position of small power, the students call them 'Trators', though I never use it, the two words traitor and adminisTRATOR can be easily confused. Some students do believe them to be traitors, though, the better students, and the more teachers' pets of the group."
When given their rooms, Sora and Riku were thrilled to have a room together, sharing with some boys named Roxas and Hayner.
Hayner and Roxas were already there when Sora and Riku arrived, and Hayner stepped forward to introduce himself.
"I'm Hayner, me and Roxas came from Twilight town."
"Hiya! I'm Sora I came from Destiny Islands!" Sora said enthusiastically back.
"Thanks for introducing me, Sora, I'm Riku, and I'm from the same place."
"Who else came with you guys? How many?" Roxas said from somewhere in his suitcase.
"We have four others, Wakka, Tidus, Selphie, and Kairi!" Sora said as he jumped on his bunk.
Riku went to the remaining bunk and began to unpack.
A/N Okay, getting better? Review please. Now I know what other authors mean by REVIEW! I have one reviewer and it was a really good review too. So, uh, Please!
