The Orphans Other Half

Ch.1 Funny How My Life Changed

Summary for "The Orphan's Other Half": Roxas is 17.He just moved from Destiny Islands to a big city called Twilight Town a year ago.Now he gets to face his fears, make new friends-visit his friends from Destiny Islands,survive his Moms work, and meet a not quite bi-polar orphan. Roxas never thought his life would be so un-normal, and this is how he survived.

Roxas's POV:

I grabed my backpack full of CDs and other things to keep me busy for the day.I put on a pair of blue hightops and headed down stairs.My mom was in the Kitchen pulling her car keys out of her purse.

"Morning honey."She said as we started walking to the front door.

"Morning Mum."I said as we got into her mini-van., and I shut the door a little harder than I should have.We both buckled our seatbelts and she put her keys in the ignition.The car started and we pulled out of the driveway onto the street.

In case you were wondering what is going on(Im sure you are)im going to my mum's work today for the first time ever.She doesn't trust me at home alone anymore.Heh, it's not my fault I almost burnt our brand new house down.Im just not that intelegent when it comes to a stove or an oven.I got hungry and we didnt have our microwave unpacked yet.

Anyways, back to the original story.My name is Roxas, im seventeen, and my mum works at an orphanage.As Isaid before this is the first time I have ever had to go to my mum's work, and im kinda nervous.Well, who wouldn't be?Im going to an orphanage with my mother. Most kids that live in an orphanage were abandoned, or their parents died.Something like that anyways.At least I have one parent.My dad left my mum when I was two, so I grew up an only child of a single mom.I guess im not all that lucky then either.

Thinking about all the people without parents, or a least one parent, makes me sad.Im perfectly fine with just having my mum and my friends.If anything happened to them my life would end right then and there.Whenever when is, and whereever where is, if it ever does happen.

Speaking of my friends, they are on a different island called Destiny Islands.I moved from there to here, Twilight Town.This city is huge.Its half houses and half big buildings.I guess im still not all that used to it seeing I only moved here about a year ago.Twilight Town will eventually get better(I hope)and at least I still get to see my friends on the weekend.All I have to do to visit my friends or for them to visit me, is take a ferri.

Funny how my life changed.

Now we were headed into town with some of the bigger buildings and apartments, instead of houses.A lot of Twilight Town is still new to me, so I could probably easily get lost if I wandered around.Knowing my luck I would get lost too.

My eyes scanned the scenery and names of some shops.We passed a Super Target.One of the better things about being on this islandwas that it had Super Target, my favrite store. Tey also had a huge movie theatre, and I bet I could get lost in that as well.

My mum said something, but I didnt catch it seeing that I was deep in thought as usual.

"Sorry mum what did you say?"She laughed looking at me for a second then laying her eyes back on the road.

"I could tell you were in deep thought again.Its just fun to see your reaction when someone talks to you while your thinking.Its funny."She giggled while she watched the road.

"It is not!Meanie!"I frowned and looked out of my window again.

"Sorry Roxy, but it is.And were here."Looking up, I was faced with three story building.It looked huge!It didnt really look like an orphanage to me. It looked more like a big apartment complex thing, whatever their called.It was big enough to be one at least.

My mum got out of the car looking all cheery, while I slowly opened my door lifting my body out of the front seat.

Anby: I hope you liked the first chappy.Sorry for miss-spellings and such(as usual).I wrote this story over the summer while I was visiting my Dad in Illinois.He doesnt have a computer so you know the rest.This chapter doesnt have that much excitement.I really only wanted to explain where Roxas lived and part of what his life is like in this chapter.You learn more about Roxas and other characters later on, and I assure you it will be more exciting as it goes along.I will also try to make all the chapters a little longer too.

I have all the way up to Chapter 4 written out on paper.All I have to do is type them and edit them which doesnt take too long.I allready have half of Chapter 2 done.If you liked this please review and I will try my best to get the next three chapters out even faster.

Next Chapter "Who's You Know Who?"
