When I first met her it was not the average love at first sight but a curious one. I confess it wasn't the best first impression
Her name was Kairi Hikari, one of the most popular girls in Destiny High. Every guy wanted her but she never took a single one.
It wasn't an accident meeting her like bumping into her or getting hit by her bike. All of that stuff is just found in romance novels and animes.
In reality, I met her at the local Wal-Mart while I was scanning her items off right before my break. It wasn't the most flamboyant meeting, but it was for me at least because the first thing I noticed was her pain stricken face and watery red eyes, but the most noticeable thing was she had my school's uniform on.
She was very good-looking, but she just seemed so delicate as if made of glass.
It wasn't any of my business but it seemed something must of happened so I grabbed a few napkins from under my station and handed them to her.
"My break's in a few minutes I can talk if you need it"
"Thanks but I'll be fine" she replied while grabbing the napkins then wiping her eyes a bit.
I swear it must of been odd for me to offer but she really looked down in the dumps so I pushed the offer again.
"Are you sure cause you look like you need it."
She paused for a bit to think and replied "I'll be fine"
As she walked away, I focused more on getting some lunch but her face kept coming into my mind and I rewinded our quick conversation in my head several times. I probably didn't initiate that very well and looked like I was hitting on her, didn't I?
That probably wasn't my best move.
More than anything though, what bothered me was that I didn't ask for her name.
Though soon I started to wonder what happened to her and it kept coming to my mind during my lunch.
It was only until next school year we would meet again.
Vanitas was an absolute prick.
"It'll be fun, Roxas! Who knows you might actually find a girl there!"
"Just because I don't like anyone doesn't mean you should use it as an excuse to drag me everywhere." I replied icily.
"Axel's going too if you wanted to know and it's at that red head girl's house, what's her name?"
"Dunno, but if your talking about that Student Council President that almost everyone has a crush on, I heard she's been single forever you shouldn't even bother."
"It's cause she hasn't met me yet." he replied slyly while driving.
Vanitas was definitely not one of your regular playboys despite the fact he won women like trophies and treated them like glass until he threw them aside. He was completely obsessed with getting his targets and unfortunately that was that red head today.
The second we got to the party, Vanitas simply vanished into the crowd in search of her which left me the awkward lanky guy in the corner alone.
My only redeeming features were my unusual steel blue eyes and my spiked platinum blonde hair. Other than that I was just the average Joe.
Amazingly, it's boring sitting in the corner alone so I decided to find a quiet room somewhere in this house. It took a while to find a quiet room not filled with either horny teens or well horny teens.
Luckily the room was in the farthest corner of the house was empty. It was colored with a relaxing shade of beige with a wooden frame bed pushed against the wall. On the other side there were several filled bookshelves next to a dimly lit single couch chair.
If I had to be honest I'm not the biggest bookworm but I did enjoy reading, so I grabbed a book called Wind Rider and started reading.
Honestly I have no idea when I fell asleep all I knew was that it was early morning and in the single wooden bed was the very crimson haired girl also known as Student Council President, the legendary Kairi Hikari.
It was unbelievably breath taking when I saw her sleeping face. She looked so relaxed and alluring like a succubus even in the huge bunny sweater she was in. I was so so tempted to join her in her bed and cuddle, but I suddenly remembered something and shook my head a bit because first I was in Kairi's bedroom and second it was Friday.
"Fuck I'm late." I mentally scolded myself and jumped out of the sofa chair, running to the girl to sadly wake her up.
"Oh my god who are you?" she shrieked as I shook her.
"I just woke up, and we're late" I sputtered as the red head rolled out of bed literally and went into her closet, locking the door in the process. In five minutes or so she came out dressed so attractive… and hot.
Her smooth crimson hair looked purposely messy in her bun, face as flawless as usual, and wore the usual Destiny High uniform consisting of a white top with a blue miniskirt and tie.
She did look great but I myself did not even have my own uniform with me after noticing I was still in yesterdays' clothes, she stared at me questioningly.
"Um hey, would you happen to have another uniform preferably for boys?"
A surprised face spread across her face as she went back into her closet bringing out the small version of the male uniform consisting of a similar items except with darker blue plaid slacks. After she went out of the room, I changed and It happened to be the perfect size but just a little short on the slack length.
I looked at her curiously "Thanks for giving me this uniform but how. . ."
"Oh it was something my friends pushed me into. It's a really good disguise." she sniffed with a tinge of embarrassment.
"By the way, why did you not wake me up yesterday?"
"Oh I never noticed you it was so late and I was so tired by the way have we met?"
As I remembered her pained face six months earlier, I decided not to mention it and shook my head.
"No I don't believe we have, my name is Roxas."
"My name is Kairi and we should hurry. School is really close by so we can walk." She quickly added "or we could run. . ."
It turns out walking with a school celebrity that has a single relationship status to school while no one knows your name causes rumors.
The second we got to the campus every guy was glaring at me while all the girls were gossiping about it. It would be a lie if I said I wasn't scared for my life the second I parted ways with Kairi.
Saying my day so far was hell would be an understatement. My rumored relationship with Kairi was the hottest topic and everyone was talking. Guys were threatening to beat me up even some girls wanted to not that I blame them because she is just so drop dead gorgeous.
I just had to thank god no one knew where I sit for lunch besides Xion and Axel. My usual area was right outside the theatre building which currently was deserted at this time. Unfortunately I just remembered something. . .
There was no usual brown bag with me because I came from Kairi's house. . .
Quietly I sat in anguish on the stairs until a black bundle of hair sat by me.
"Roxas, you not hungry?" she asked worriedly.
Here she was my guardian angel, my gift from heaven, my most reliable friend, Xion with a concerning look on her face and with tears in my eyes I admitted to her.
"I didn't pack my lunch."
"Oh."
As she unpacked her bento, inside laid a feast fit for well one person. A few plastic utensils were inside as if she were prepared for my forgetfulness. After her consent I grabbed a fork and ate a delectable seasoned octopus sausage.
"Thank you, Xion"
We sat there in a relaxing silence while eating for a bit as we thoroughly enjoyed lunch together until she finally broke the silence.
"How did the rumors pop up?"
"I accidentally fell asleep at the party that Vanitas brought me to, so Kairi and I walked to school together,"
"I see." She yawned.
It's always nice that Xion never misunderstands situations like this. I don't know what I would do without her.
Lunch was coming to an end but on as if on cue, Axel came with his regular sea salt ice cream bars. All of us would walk back to class eating some and relaxing. It was our own regular thing however Axel enjoyed today's walk more than usual.
"So I heard you were at the party yesterday, I didn't see you though. Did'ya have fun with Kairi last night?" he teased.
"There's nothing between us and you know it."
"She's a little out of your league tho, Roxy"
"I said there's nothing between us."
"It's okay just remember bros before hoes!"
I was about to reiterate until the black bundle tugged on my sleeve.
"Roxas, please calm down." she mumbled or more like warned.
I didn't notice earlier when Axel was teasing me, but there was a crowd growing in size watching us most likely from the Kairi rumors. The thing about it though was that there was a pair of furious yellow eyes glaring at me with a growing murderous intent.
"Kairi's mine and you know it."
