Chapter 2: Day 1- Awakening

Waking up in bed, Xion looked around surprised that she had one of the craziest dreams to occur since living in this new place. "Man, that dreamed seemed a bit too real. I wonder if it was." she thought to herself only to shrug it off thinking of how crazy that sounds.

Taking the sights of her room, she had to smile as it may have a ton of old stuff, but it was still hers. At the front of her room, a worn out cabinet that contains some of her childhood game consoles, like the PS2, are situated there. On top of that, she also had her games to the side of it, ranging from some of her most favorite, like Kingdom Hearts, to her least favorite games.

Her room is painted a sea green with a few stenciled seashells that are colored silver making it shine even at night. However, the ceiling was different, as it was painted using four different colors (red,yellow,blue and orange) in order to make have a sunset on top.

On the other side of said cabinet, was a dresser that seemed to see better days. Seeing as how it had tiny dents and scratches that accumulated over the years whether she moved. In said dresser contained some of Xion's daily wear such as her black overcoat with its hood, her school uniform and a few other clothing pieces

Sighing to herself, Xion looked to her alarm clock on the nightstand, it read 5:00 A.M. "Time to get ready for classes." she thought as another day of the same classes repeating over and over started to fill her mind.

Attican's school of the gifted, is a private school dedicated to cultivating their pupils' potentials in order to succeed in the outside world. Some of these pupils decide to go into careers that can affect the lives of others such as politicians or even attorney generals. Others, wanted to be part of some of the most cutthroat jobs in the world hence they become businessmen.

However for Xion and a few others, this isn't what they want. They are the outcasts who don't have an idea in mind as to what they want to do for the rest of their lives. As a result, they are ridiculed for it by their other students.

Xion, on the other hand, took it in stride, whether it be their comments as to how her parents can't pay the yearly tuition or even the way she looks herself. This didn't stop her from making friends, only the most aggressive of her bullies continued to hate her while others became neutral.

"Hey Xion," a blonde haired girl said at the front of the school seeing her friend walk up.

"Hey Alice, where is Dylan and Alex?" Xion asks looking around for her two other friends .

"I think Dylan is talking with the dean about an internship opportunity in the summer. Alex said that he'll be here after meeting up with his old friend who's transferring here." informed Alice as they looked around for their friend.

"Hey I think I see them!" pointed Alice making Xion turn towards the direction.

A familiar mop of red spiky hair reveals Alex as he drags along a blond spiky haired kid toward their destination.

Alex is the oldest of the group, being closer to eighteen than the others who he hangs around with. He wears a customized black hoodie, dark under pants and a random shirt. Sometimes hey may even have tattoos, annoying a few of the hardcore students around him. He personally is a lot more laid back than some of the older kids his age such as Xias and a few others.

The boy he's dragging was most likely the friend that he wanted to find as the first days of school begins. His friend wears something different than the usual uniform surprisingly. He instead wears a white jacket with a black undershirt with the roman numeral 13 on the front, black pants and a chain on the side.

"Hey guys, this is one of my old friends from that old private school that I went to." He said, finally bringing him so we can see his face. "Guys meet my friend, his parents just moved here a few weeks ago."

That was when her world stopped as a feeling started to sink to the bottom of her stomach. When he showed the new kid's face to us, it felt as if she was experiencing a wave of déjà vu when looking at the blue eyes in front of her.

"X...Xi...Xion! Hey Xion!" said Alice as she waved her arm in front of her, trying to bring her attention back to reality. She sadly failed.

Sighing to herself, she looks back to where Alex and Roxas are to give them a shrug. "I don't know what's going on guys."

"Well Alice, we need her brain to be here since school is going to start really soon." Noted Alex as he pulled out his phone to check the time.

Seeing no other choice, Alice did the only thing that she knew that could make her friend get out of any "lost somewhere else" episodes. She poked her on her side.

Eliciting a few giggles from her friend, this broke whatever trance she was in before looking at them sheepishly. "I was lost in my thoughts again, wasn't I?"

"Yeah you were," said Alex smirking as a thought crossed his mind as to the reason why she was in that trance. "By the way, you guys need to introduce yourselves."

"Oh I'm Alice and the one lost in the clouds is Xion," Alice said wrapping her arms around the brunette who looked at her with mock annoyance.

Chuckling, Alex brought the new kid with us as we hurried to our first class of the day that everyone shared till our schedules are handed out.

"Class, we have a new person joining us today from another one of our private campuses. Considered to be one of the more brilliant minds to walk in our halls, he's been through the ringer countless times. So please give a warm welcome to Roxas Skyfall." Everyone would've clapped but instead they were on major problem to us. They are shocked that one of the prodigies of the thirteen campuses was wearing something out of regulation.

For clothing choices, all campuses adhered to the rule that one must wear black a black overcoat when it's raining or snowing. Otherwise they must wear the school uniforms at all times when school is in session. Obviously either something is going on or Roxas was excluded for this rule.

"Now you all may be wondering as to why he is not wearing the uniform like yourselves?" said the teacher as some of the students nodded even though all were wondering the same thing.

"He has been chosen to represent the thirteenth school in the yearly tournament that is taking place this week." Making other students gape in surprise that someone in their age group is already representing their branch.

This made Xion sigh more to herself than about the tournament. It has been her dream to represent her school when it comes to this tournament, but sadly looks like that has to wait since all the other spots are filled.

Now it's not only prestigious to represent in your school in the tournament. It also comes with many benefits that regular students wouldn't have. Like Axel is allowed to wear almost whatever he wants as long as the dean deems it appropriate. But Roxas? It's a surprise that no one decided to question if he's at the right school.

"Now since that announcement is out of the way, you're class schedules are being handed out as we speak. Oh and Xion Achi, you have to go to the Dean's office."

She put her head down and sighed, wondering what the hell she did to be called up to the Dean's office.
