Here is the next chapter. I was going to post this yesterday but I forgot to save the last part so I had to rewrite it. Good thing I wrote down the chapter first on paper. Another thing I want to say is that in this chapter there are going to be two different P.O.V. Like last chapter it was all of Sora's. This chapter has him and Roxas's. That's all I got to say, on with the story!
The Afternoon and Night of a known day Chapter 2:
As soon as the bell stops ringing, I turned to my friend to ask what he is talking about. "I don't know. What is today?" I asked
"Today is the day of Events Assumedly which will tell us all the events that the school has planned for this school year," said Hayner in an excited tone. The events that the school throws are heard to be amazing. The first time I heard about these events, I asked Leon and Naminé about it but they told me that it will ruined the surprise I'll get if I know it first hand. I have to admit I'm exacted about the unknown events.
"If these events are as big as what we hear they are, we will have the best time of our lives at-," Olette stop suddenly. She then turned to me. "SORA LOOK OUT!" I turn my head a little to my right but then I was hit by something and lost consciousness right away.
Nurses Office
When I gain consciousness, I woke up in the nurse office, I looked around and there was no one around. As I got out of the bed and put my feet on the ground, I felt really dizzy. "What happened?" I asked to myself. I read the clock and it reads 1:28. This means that class will end in two minutes. I put my shoes on and walked out of the nurse's office. "I hope I can just leave like this? Well since no one was-," I was cut off when I bump into someone. "I'm sorry I wasn't watching were I was going?" I looked up and saw it was Riku. I jump back quickly and tried to run away. I didn't want to see him with or without his friends. When I turned around and tried to escape, I felt a strong grip on my wrist. The strong grip pulled me back, and I was face to face with Riku. As we face each other, I remember what happened. I was hit on the head with something and the direction which the object came is from the court yard where Riku was playing.
"Please let me go…" I said in a really scared tone. They have done so many things to me but nothing that puts me in the nurse's office. I might not know why they hate me but now I know how much they hate me. The look in Riku's eyes shows hate but it also shows something else and I can't really tell what it is. As I was trying to solve the riddle in his eyes, the strong grip he has on me becomes even tighter. "Oww… please let me go!" I just wanted him to let me go. The bell rang indicating that class is over. The hall soon filled with many other students. Riku then did what I asked him to do. When he let me go, I ran away as fast as I can just to get away from him. As soon I was running I saw my friend just walking into the building. I slow my pace and they notice me.
"Oh Sora! Are you okay?" asked Pence. I nodded my head.
"Just feel a little dizzy but I think I'm going to be okay," I reply to my friends. They all looked a bit concerned for me but they didn't say anything. I felt a bit of a pain in my right wrist. I looked down and notice a bit of a red mark. No doubt that it was Riku's doing.
"If you say that you're okay then I guess your okay," said Olette with a small smile. We all head to the outside. "Well since that today is the big Event Assumedly our last class is cancel for today."
"If only that was for the rest of the year," whine Hayner. We made our way to the Auditorium where each school assumedly takes place. The seats were filled up quickly. We panicked and hurried to find four seats together. "Damn. I didn't think finding four seats together was hard but at least we found some," said Hayner. I looked around to see if the whole auditorium was filled. As I looked back I locked eyes with my brother, Ventus, a couple of rows behind me. We locked eyes for a second and then he looked away. I looked forward and tried to forget that he and his friends were behind me. Then I realized something, I wonder if he or Roxas came and check up on me while I was sleeping in the nurse's office. I mean, even though we're not in the best of terms. We are still brothers right? So it only makes since that they will check on me right? This realization just makes me feel like I have lost Roxas and Ventus as brothers. While I was in a deep thought, one of the teachers came on to the stage.
"Quiet now. As all of you know, this school year started a month ago and now it's time to tell you about the events that we are holding at this school year. This assumedly is really for the freshmen but there are some new events that all grades will like to know. The school board has made a video of all of the events. So please stay in your seats and stay quite till it's time to leave. Now begin the video," said the teacher. As he went off the stage, the screen came down. All light in the auditorium was slowly turned off and the video started.
"Destiny Island High has many fun filled events that all the students always looked forward to each year. This year is no exception. This year, there are a total of four events. These events have all been approved by the principle and the school board. The first event is the annual School Camping Trip where the school takes 25% students of each grade to one of the lonely island of our beautiful island region.
They will spend five whole days camping and enjoying the activities. Day one: All students will come to school with all the things that will be needed for the trip. When all students have been accounted for, they will go on an hour and a half with bus right to the camping island. Once there, all of the students will take a 30 min hike to the camp site where there they will settle in.
Day two: All the students will enjoy a fun filled day at the island's biggest and only lake. At midday the students will enjoy a BBQ and at night a bond fire beside the lake. Day three: A big race will be held on the entire island. The winner of the race will be given a trophy for their speed. Day Four: There will be hold a race/scavenger hunt on the island. On the hunt all students will need to figure out clues that will lead them to the prize. A trophy will be awarded to the students for their brains. The Last Day: In the morning of the last day, a tradition of the trip where all students will write something on a piece of paper and attach it to a balloon will be held. Then at the same time, all students will let go of the balloon and watch as they all go up to the heavens. That will conclude the camping trip.
The second event will be something new that the school has never done before. It's called 'Destiny High wide festival.' Each homeroom class will do some sort of shop or attraction in their classroom but that will not be the only thing. Many clubs will hold their own events in this day as well as sport events where students will compete in many sports trails to prove to the whole island 'Who is the Strongest.' Theses trails will be mix sex. That means both boys and girls will be competing. There is going to be a talent show before the last event of the festival. The last event will be a fantastic fireworks show.
The third event is a three day trip to the 'City of Light', Radiant Garden. There, students walk around freely each day there. This city is known for being a big tourist attraction. This city is where many movies have been made. Imagine all the fun you will have in this city.
The last event will be something called 'Grade War.' In this event, each grade will be put up against each other. The war games have been decided will stayed secret till the event takes place as well as other details about it. There you have it students of Destiny Island. Those are the events the school is giving you this year. We all hope you all enjoy this wonderful year."
The video end and the entire student in the auditorium are clapping and cheering. As I looked everywhere, some students even stand up. You can clearly see the excitement in everybody's face. I have to agree with them all. I'm excited as well. I looked at my friends and they all had same type of face as everyone else. I can tell that Olette is imagining all the fun she could have fun at Radiant Garden. She always wanted to live there. Then I looked at Pence who is sitting next to her has a happy face but he is also drooling a bit; I guess he's imagining about food. Then I looked over to my left and saw Hayner and how he is reacting. He has an excited face and fire in his eyes. I guess he can't wait for the war day.
"First years are going to win," said Hayner in a determined tone.
"That beautiful city and celebrities can't wait," said Olette in happy tone.
"I wonder what kind of food they will have," asked Pence. He was still drooling over his fantasy food.
"No, you are not going to eat anything of that greasing food until you get to your target waist got that," said Hayner.
"What's that about target waist?" asked Olette.
"Well you see. Pence want to lose weight and Hayner will help him," I said.
"Oh but Pence, do you really want to lose the weight. Cause I think that you're good the way you are," said Olette.
"REALLY! YOU THINK SO," said Pence in a loud tone. So loud that many people were now looking at us and even some teacher too. Pence didn't seem to notice, he kept looking at Olette and she just nodded her head.
"Excuse me but please stay quiet now," said a teacher.
"I'm sorry but I need to go to the restroom," said Pence. He got up and run out of the auditorium.
"What was that," asked Hayner? But both Olette and I just didn't know. We then heard the teacher for earlier on the stage.
"Now that all of you know what the events are. Like the video says that only 25% of each grade will go on the camping trip. So a week before the camping trip you need to sign up. So it first come first serve type thing," said the teacher. As soon as he was done the bell of the tower rang. Meaning that school day is over. Everyone started getting up and out of the building. When we got out of the building we totally lost Pence and we couldn't find him.
"Where could he have gone to?" I asked.
"I'm sure that he went home by now let's get going," said Hayner. We decided that we should leave and go home. Since I live in the opposite direction, I walk home alone. The walk home was really quite and as soon as I got out of the park. I looked behind me and saw the bell tower. I then looked at my wrist and notice that it has started to bruise. The bruise that Riku left me when he grabbed my wrist. He was really strong and I'm so weak. Those blue-green eyes starring with such hate. The one I have a crush on hates me. I wish I can forget him. I then walk the rest of the way home. As I got home I notice that I was alone. I guess Roxas and Ventus are not home yet. I went to my room and change out of my uniform. I change into a plain red shirt and blue shorts. I then walked into the kitchen and started cooking Naminé's favorite dish. In this household we all take turns cooking, except Leon. The order of who cooks is this: the twins, Naminé, and then me. Last night Naminé cooked a really tasty pasta. Now I have to cook.
"Let's see my sister's favorite dish is vegetables and fruits pizza," I said while looking in the fridge. "We have all the ingredients but pineapple and I don't have time to go buy any. What am I going to do?" I then remember that Rox and Ven are not here yet. Should I call them to buy the pineapple? I know that they both have cell phones so I should call them. But I haven't really talked to them in a really long time. Will they do it? "I have to call them." I picked up the phone and called Roxas' number. It started to ring and then he answered.
"Hello,"side Roxas. I took a deep breath and replied.
"Umm… Roxas it's me, Sora," I said.
"…oh… hi, what's up?" Roxas said.
"Can I ask you and Ventus to buy a pineapple for Naminé's favorite pizza?" I asked. I wait for his answer for a bit.
"Sure, I think we can buy it. Is that it?" asked Roxas.
"Yes, that's all I need for the pizza and since pineapple is the last thing I need, you don't have to be here right away," I said.
"Okay then… Since that's it I guess bye then," said Roxas.
"Bye," I replied and we both hanged up. That was really the long conversation I had with my brother in a whole month. Thinking that it was true, it made me shed a single tear. "Why can we be like before?"
Roxas P.O.V
Finally that school is over; I really hate school to tell you the truth. The long boring classes and spending hours on homework is real pain. I really hate it. So the moment that the bell tower rang I ran out of school like I do every day. As I wait for my friends at the side gate of the school I ran into someone. "Hey Roxie," said a really annoying red head.
"Don't call me that Axel," I said. Yeah I'm friends with Axel even though my friend, Riku hates this guy's gut. But I do like Axel as a friend, some of the times.
"Chill out. I was just teasing you a little. So what's up?" asked Axel.
"Nothing, just glad that school is finally over and you," I said.
"Oh thinking up ways to make fun of your silver head queen," replied Axel with a smirk. "Oh lookie there I have one."
"Really now you two have been fighting like rivals since freshmen year. Don't tell me your still hang up on Kairi now," I said. The truth behind the whole Riku and Axel rivalry thing is back at freshmen year. Axel the red head had a crush on Kairi but she had eyes only on Riku. As well as I heard that Riku had an interest in her too. Since they were both interested in each other, Axel had no chance with Kairi. I felt bad for him but I felt happy for Riku too.
"No. I'm over that self claimed bad girl. I notice how much of a bitch she is," said Axel.
"She's not that bad and anyway. Really you're over her. I didn't think that or it was going to happen until you found someone else," I replied. He then looked at me with a shocked expression.
"Uhh, yeah… I got to go. Bye Roxie," said Axel while running off.
"Hey wait," I yelled at him. Sometime he is really weird.
"ROXAS," I heard someone yelled at me. I turned and saw that it was my twin Ventus. He was with the rest of my friends. "Do you have to run out every time school over?"
"Yeah because school sucks! I think it's boring and you know that," I said.
"I thought that twins were supposed to be alike," said Riku. Both me and my brother turned to each other and looked at Riku. "Roxas, you're stubborn and somewhat quiet. On the other hand Ventus, you're outgoing and really talkative. You guys really different,"
"Hey Roxas should we be offended or grateful?" asked Ventus. I really didn't know the answer. "Well since I don't know what to say I will not say anything. Come on let's go!" Maybe Riku was right about Ventus. We all decide that we will go to a dinner that's located near by. When we get out of school we don't head home right away. We spend time on the street a lot. We go anywhere we want to go. We walked in the restaurant and all sit down.
"Hey Riku sweetie, want to share an ice cream?" asked Kairi to Riku. He just shrugged his shoulders.
"Kairi do you always have to share everything with Riku," asked a very annoyed Larxene. Kairi looked at her a flipped her off. Larxene did the same thing. Larxene was like Kairi, they were both mean girls. Once you're on their bad side, you might as well jump off a bridge. They will never forgive and forget. Thinking about that, Sora popped into my head. Sora will always have Kairi to worry about. Not just her but the rest of my friends as well. I wish I can help him but I can't. I looked up to see everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves. Then my cell started to ring. I looked at the caller ID. It read 'Home.' I got up and to take the call.
"Hello," I said. I heard someone on the other line take a deep breath.
"Umm… Roxas it's me, Sora," said my little brother. I was totally shocked to find out that Sora was actually calling me.
"…oh… hi, what's up?" I said.
"Can I ask you and Ventus to buy a pineapple for Naminé's favorite pizza?"Sora asked. Was he really asking me for a favor? I didn't thought he will ever talk to both me and Ventus again.
"Sure, I think we can buy it. Is that it?" asked Roxas.
"Yes, that's all I need for the pizza and since pineapple is the last thing I need, you don't have to be here right away," Sora said.
"Okay then… Since that's it I guess bye then," I said.
"Bye," said Sora. We both hanged up at the same time. Sora said he didn't need it right away but I want to buy it right away. I should go get Ventus and leave.
"Hey is something wrong, Roxas?" asked Riku. I shook my head to say no.
"Ventus let's go. We need to buy something for dinner," I said.
"Uh? Really? Well I guess we should go," said Ventus. "Bye guys we have to go."
"Hey guys you're leaving already? We didn't tell you what we did to the twerp at launch," said Seifer. I looked at him right away knowing that he was talking about my little brother. "Riku notice the twerp sitting at the picnic tables so he kicked a soccer ball at him and it hit him. Right on the head. It hit him so hard that he lost consciousness right away. It was funny as shit!" Everyone started to laugh. But all I can think about was Sora was unconscious by the hands of Riku. I looked over to him and notice he wasn't laughing, he was looking away.
"He was hit so hard he was sent to the nurse's office ya'know," said Rai.
"Out cold," said Fuu. I didn't pay attention to none of them. I was focused on Riku and the only thing going through my mine was 'I want to hit him.' I took a step towards Riku but Ventus grab my arm and shook his head.
"Well guys we have to go. Bye," said Ventus. We then walked out and headed to the store. We walked a little bit in silence. Till the point I couldn't take it anymore.
"THAT JERK! I KNOW THAT HE HATES SORA BUT HE NEVER DID ANYTHING THAT WOULD PUT HIM INTO THE NURSE'S OFFICE," I yelled. Ventus put his hand on my shoulder.
"I know they never did that before. I can't believe it either," said Ventus. I really wanted to punch Riku in the face but then I would be their next target. "Let's forget about all that and buy what we need for dinner. By the way who called you?"
"Sora, he called me," I said. Ventus looked shocked that I said it was Sora. "He wants us to buy a pineapple for that pizza that Naminé likes."
"I forgot that he was cooking today and I'm also surprise that he would even ask us a favor too," said Ventus. I nodded my head. We then arrived to the store and went to buy the pineapple. We left the store and headed home. While heading home we walked pass a big grassy field. I remember this field; it was the one where both Ventus and I played soccer at.
"Hey Ventus, remember this place?" I asked. My twin then looked over at the field and nodded his head. The last time we were here was with Sora. Both Ven and I were seven and Sora just turned five.
-*Flash Back*-
Both Ventus and I were passing the soccer ball to each other and pretended to be oblivious to the little boy calling out to us. "ROXAS! VENTUS! WAIT FOR ME PLEASE! WAIT FOR ME," yell my little brother Sora as he was running to catch up to the both of us. Both my twin and I were only teasing him and little. We looked at each other and giggled a bit. "COME ON WAI- OWW!" Both of us heard Sora tripped behind us. We stop right away.
"SORA," yelled both of us with concerned in our voices while looking back. We notice that Sora was on the ground, lying on his face. We both ran to him.
"Sora, are you okay?" asked Ventus. Sora looked up and started to cry. I then took Sora in my arms and started to stroke his back.
"Now, now, we're sorry. We won't leave you behind again," I said. Sora looked up to us and asked.
"R-r-really?" We both nodded our heads to say yes. Then Sora gave us a big smile with a bit of still lingering tears in his sky blue eyes.
-*End of Flash Back*-
Passing by this field brought back that little memory of when I was acting like a brother. But years pass and now I'm acting like a jerk and a coward. "Ventus you do know that we lost Sora forever, right," I stated to my brother. He then looked at me with an unpleasant face and nodded.
"Yeah, I know. Because we're cowards," Ventus replied. We then found ourselves at home already. We walked in and saw that Sora was hard at work making the pizza for Naminé. I walked in the kitchen and place that pineapple on the counter. The sudden noise startled Sora a bit and he turned around.
"We got you the Pineapple you wanted," I said. He then looked at the pineapple and then at both Ventus who is outside the kitchen and me. Sora just nods. I nodded and walked out of the kitchen and walked to my with my twin and think how much hurt I let my brother go through.
Sora P.O.V
Now a little more pineapple and there, Naminé's pizza is ready. I should just let it cooled down for a bit and wait for Leon and Naminé to come home. I walked in the living room and sat on the couch resting from the long day. I saw Roxas and Ventus backpacks on the couch too. I can't believe they got me the pineapple sooner than I thought they will. Thinking about the surprise my brother did I almost didn't notice the front door opening. Both my older siblings came in at the same time. "What's that smell? Is it pizza?" asked Leon. I nodded my head.
"So you really did make my favorite dish huh Sora. Thank you little brother," stated Naminé. She then came over at me and place a kiss on my forehead. I blush a little and she laughed a bit too. They both went to their rooms and I went to the table to set dinner up. I place the pizza in the middle and place the five plates as well. Then all my siblings came to the kitchen and sat down on the table. "Thanks again Sora, for the pizza."
"You're welcome, I haven't made in a while," I said. We all then started to eat the pizza I made. They all look like they're enjoying it, especially Naminé.
Six hours later:
After dinner I went to my room and rested for a bit. I then finish all my homework and after that I took a shower. So now I'm in my bed drying my head. I looked at my wrist and now I can definitely see that Riku had left me a bruise. "Riku," I said. The entire things that happened today. 'They hate me so much that they put me in the nurse's office. Then I bumped into Riku, he grab my wrist and left a bruise. Was he the one that hit me at lunch today? Why? Why? Why? Why? I did nothing to him and yet he does all this stuff to me. Will the next thing he's going to do will leave me in the hospital. No he wouldn't, would he? How far will he go to make my life miserable and for how long? Oh no, maybe he will do it for the rest of my life. Riku I have feeling for you but you hate me so much. Why!? Why!? Why!? Why!?' Oh I just realized that I have been thinking too much and am having a panic attack. I'm breathing to hardly and there is only one thing that can calms me down. I run out of my room and went out the back door. I was now on the outdoor deck still breathing hardly. I took a deep breath and started my calming down exercises.
I've got my ticket for long way 'round
Two bottles of whisky for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
Oh, I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I was starting to breath somewhat normally now, but I'm not done yet.
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains
It's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You'll miss me by my talk,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
The only thing that clams me down is that song. Whenever I think too much and panic, that is the only thing I need to do to calm down. Each time I sing it, it works. "Had another panic attack kitten?" asked a voice. I turned around and saw Naminé at the door way. Out of all my siblings, she is the only one who knows about my panic attack. "The only thing that calms you down is Mom's favorite song." She's right that is mom's favorite. The first time I heard it was the night before my fifth birthday.
-*Flash Back*-
I just woke up from a scary nightmare and was panicking. I was running in my room thinking it will help but no. I run out of my room and went outside. Almost outside, I heard someone singing. I went outside and it turn out to be my mom. She was singing, she noticed that I was standing right there. "Sweetie what are you doing here? Its pass your bedtime," My mom said.
"Mommy you have a pretty voice. Can you sing again?" I asked. Not even thinking about what my mother said.
"Sora, you need to go to bed," she replied.
"NO! If I go to sleep, the creepy and bad things are going to happen again," I stated. My mother looked at me for a second and then she smiles a little.
"Oh Sora, you were having a bad dream that's all. Oh come here you can fall asleep in my arms. I'll make sure that you won't have bad dreams in my arms," she said in a gentle voice.
"Really," I asked. My mom nodded with a smile. "Okay then but can you sing that song again. It's really pretty."
"Only if you sing it with me," said my mother while putting me in her arms.
"But I can't sing," I said.
"You never tried so you don't know if you can't do it. Come on, let's do it together," she said. We then sang the song in unison; my mom sang it slowly so I would know what to sing. When we were done, we heard clapping. I looked and it turns out to be Naminé.
"That was great! Oh and Sora you sound like a cute cat singing to the moon. Now whenever I hear you singing I'll call you kitten," said my sister. My mom was going to say something but she was interrupted when my dad walked out.
"Aerith, both Naminé and Sora are not in their rooms… oh they're here with you," said my dad.
"Yes, don't worry Cloud. Sora was having a nightmare and I sang a song to calm him down. Then Naminé heard us singing and here she is," stated my mother.
"Dad. Mom and Sora can sing this beautiful song. I really like it," said Naminé.
"Oh really? I guess you sang your favorite song then. That's the only one you actually sing at all," said my dad.
"Yeah and it seem that both our kids here, like it. Don't you Sora," asked my mom at me. I looked at her but with a sleepy face.
"Yes I do mommy. Mommy I'm (yawn) sleepy," I replied. I rubbed the sleep in my eyes.
"The birthday boy is sleepy. Come here, I'll take you to your bed," said my dad. He picked me up and put me in his arms.
"Daddy," I said.
"Shhh. Just sleep now Sora. Tomorrow you turn five. It's a big day for you," said my dad and I then went to sleep.
-*End of Flash Back*-
"Yeah that's the only thing that calms me down," I said to my sister.
"You know you have a great voice Sora. You have a voice just like mom. That must be one of the things you inherited from her," stated Naminé. I shook my head.
"No you have her voice Naminé. You have a beautiful voice like hers, you should be a singer," I said. She then put her index finger to her chin like she was thinking.
"Nope, I don't want to sing. Besides your voice is better, way better than mine. Come on, let's get inside. It's late," said Naminé. I was about to walk in until I looked at the seat that my mom sat in that night. I picture her stilling sit there and looking at me. She gave me a warm smile. Then I looked next to her and I pictured my dad too. He also gave me a warm smile.
"Good night mom, good night dad. I miss you," I said to my passed away parents.
There you have it people. The 2nd chapter done and yeah in this story, Aerith and Cloud are the parents. So any of you who thought I was going to pair Leon with Cloud, I'm sorry. Also I'm not a fan of that pairing and change some things around. By the way the song that Sora sang is from the movie Pitch Perfect. I heard that song and I liked it. Also since it's Sora calming down exercises, you will see him sing it a couple of more times. Don't worry he won't sing it all the time. So it won't get annoying. You also got to see what Roxas thinks about what he did to Sora. Hope you like it and please leave a review Bye :)
