The Spirits Within

Chapter 2 – The Beginning

Mikau's PoV

"What?" I whirled around and saw a girl with dark red hair staring accusingly at me. "Oh, hey Kairi. What's up?" I said. She opened her mouth to answer but the P.A. interrupted her. "Sora Granz, please report to the principal's office immediately."

"Oh crap!" he said quietly. "Now what did you do?" I asked. "Well, the principal is obviously angry at me" he said, lowering his voice. "And I did miss seven homeworks, but that's beside the point." He said, and hurried away. "Right, anyway we're gonna be late, Mike." We turned around and walked down the hallway, then she kissed me on the cheek and we went down different ways. If you haven't noticed, Kairi is my girlfriend. "Don't call me Mike…"

At Spanish class…

As soon as I entered the classroom, I searched for a place at the very back, since the teacher usually asked questions at people nearest to her, and I wasn't any good at Spanish. As soon as I sat down, the creepy blond girl with the purple eyes sat beside me, sending chills down my spine. I was never really afraid of anything, but at this moment, I didn't feel like looking at her at all, so instead, I stared down to my desk and started drawing whatever figurines came to my mind. But after a while I got bored and rested my head on my arms, and started to slowly drift off….

I was standing in front of a flaming building, holding a sword in my hand. I looked to my right and saw the same blonde girl again, staring unblinkingly at the flaming ruins, then, suddenly, turned and stared at me instead. I instinctively raised my sword, but then she started walking towards me and a voice sounded in my head, "Look, my friend, our hour of supremacy has come. Join us…" Those last two words rang in my head, for a while, and then, "Hey! Wake up!" That voice sounded familiar… "C'mon, Mike! We're gonna be late!"

I suddenly sat up, fully awake. Kairi jumped back. "Oh, hey Kai…" I stood up, "So what were you dreaming about anyway? It took me ages to get you to wake up," she said, helping me gather my books. "Apple pie… Thanks" I replied while she handed me my books. "Apple pie" was my answer to questions I was too lazy to answer and/or didn't want answered yet. Then, we made our way to lunch.

At lunch…

"So where's Sora? I haven't seen him in a while…" I asked Mikel, a kid with brown hair and eyes. "I dunno," he answered, "last time I saw him, he was doing homework, I think…" He shrugged and resumed eating his sandwich. "I bet he's scrubbing bathrooms, I mean, you know how the principal is," Kairi said with a smile. "Yeah, probably."

I stared absent-mindedly at my juice bottle, and noticed that ripples were forming in the juice, then got stronger and stronger, suddenly, the whole table was trembling, the whole building. Earthquake? Maybe. No time to think about it. I put my arms around Kairi and dove beneath the table, as did many other persons in the room. The tiles in the roof were starting to crack, lamps that hung from the ceiling rained on the students, and then, it stopped. The whole thing lasted about thirty seconds, but that was enough to inflict considerable damage. How could there be an earthquake here? This was a stable planet with no tectonic activity…

Well here is chapter 2. I don't think this was really short but if you think so, then don't worry, the chapters will get longer as the story progresses.
