Chapter 2
After many winding hallways and blank white doors, Tidus stopped. The door in front of him was labeled 346, and it looked like the many other doors we had past. I was beginning to think I was going to be really lost in this school. Tidus beamed at me, and knocked on the door. There was a flurry of movement heard from behind the closed door, and suddenly it swung open to reveal a tall girl with shoulder length brown hair and bright green eyes. She was dressed in a tight yellow tank top, and torn jeans. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw me.
"OH! You must be Kairi! I was so excited to meet you!" Before I could respond she had hugged me enthusiastically, grabbed my bag from Tidus and pulled me inside. Tidus chuckled and followed us through the doorway. The room was a good size, with 3 twin beds stationed in different areas of the room. There were clothes everywhere, and posters on the wall, and music blasting from a stereo. There in the corner bed sat a girl with sleek blonde hair, and hard blue eyes. She was slouched over in bed, typing on her computer, and hadn't even bothered to look up.
"Larxene! Kairi is here! Can' you at least have a little respect and say hi. You know it's not that hard!" Selphie said with mock irritation, and Larxene looked up at me, and smirked with a nod of her head. I smiled in return, and looked back at Selphie.
"Ok, your bed is over here next to the window. Your other stuff came last night, and I just left it alone figuring you wouldn't want me touching it." I nodded and made my way over to my bed, and slowly began unpacking.
"So, what do you do? Any fascinating sports or cool hobbies?" Selphie asked as she plopped down on the floor next to my bed. "Well… I played on a blitzball team for a while, and I surf. That's pretty much it.." Selphie's eyes lit up. "You play blitzball! That is so cool! I've always wanted to play that! Well, I guess it must be hard, you know having to hold your breath all the time, and having to do all that swimming, you know I'm probably to lazy to ever do something like that, its just—" "Selphie! You're talking her ear off! Shut it! I'm sure she knows that it's hard to play blitzball!" Larxene yelled from the corner. Selphie rolled her eyes and mock whispered to me, "She has a little something permanently shoved up her ass, don't mind her." I laughed quietly at this, and Larxene just shook her head and went back to typing on her computer.
"What are you doing?" I asked curiously. Larxene looked up and replied, "It's an article I'm doing for my English term paper on the relations of kids that have been neglected and they're tendency to get in trouble as adults later on." I felt a pang in my heart at this, since it sounded kinda like my situation. "That sounds pretty intense. Do you want to be a researcher when you get older or something?" I asked, now interested. "Yeah…something like that. What are you majoring in?" Larxene asked. To tell you the truth, I had no idea what I wanted to major in. I had always had an ambition for mechanics, and the study of how things work. "I want to do something with my hands. You know, building, deigning things, something like that." I replied honestly.
"Why are you people thinking about careers already! I'm just gonna worry about that when I get to college. Life is young, let's embrace it!" Selphie said while extending her arms at her sides, as if to embrace the room. Larxene snorted. "That's the deepest thing I've ever heard you say," she replied honestly. I felt happy now that I had gotten to know my roommates. Selphie seemed like the fun loving type, while Larxene was more serious, about both life and her future. It was an odd combination, but it worked.
I had a deep feeling of peacefulness as I finished unpacking my things.
