Author's Thoughts: Hey everybody! Sorry for the lateness of this update, I've been rather busy with school and social life as usual. I participated in the Spelling Bee this past Thursday (What a dork I am, huh?) and lost. It wasn't a disappointing heart breaking loss so to speak but I still lost anyway. Not only with the Spelling Bee but also with the real life Ms. Bitterroot piling on the homework, it was harder to write for Find Me, Save Me when she was breathing our necks.
And just a heads up, I won't be updating the weekend after this one because I'll be going on a trip with my 4-H club. So most likely, the next update will be sometime Sunday or soon after. So sorry!
Sora: So who's going to have a P.O.V today? I hope it's me. I have a lot to say today for some reason!
A'R: You'll just have to find out, Sora.
Sora: Aww, that's no fun. –Teasely pouts-
Roxas: Weird as usual.
A'R: You shouldn't be the one talking, Roxas. Riku, want give the disclaimer today?
Riku: Ok then. ARi NAi doesn't own anything of Square Enix or Kingdom Hearts.
Malcolm Yuy: Thanks. I have plenty of ideas for Roxas to torture Selphie so you should enjoy them. And of course, high school romances are always complicated. I'll definitely check out those fictions. I've been looking for a good story to read but I haven't been able to find lately because of school and such. Hope to hear from you soon!
Duchess Elda: Glad you do. It can be strange that I'm not in high school and yet I'm writing a story surrounding it. Of course, that's what going to make it fun but I'm trying my best to make it realistic. I do agree that a lot of high school fan fictions are clichéd and unrealistic which makes me steer clear of them unless I find them good enough to read.
As for the bold print, I was thinking of emphasizing certain points so it hints what is about to come but I suppose it could be bothersome so I'll stop. Thanks for the tip by the way.
Enjoy Chapter #6!
"Finally, I caught up! How come you didn't wait for me?"
"I couldn't see you."
"You can see me now, right?"
"Yes but can you see me?"
"Of course I can…why would you ask a question like that?"
"You can see me but what about the real me?"
"The real you…what do you mean?"
This was the dream I had last night. It didn't make any sense whatsoever but maybe what Riku said about it having a meaning could be true. Sometimes things have an underlining meaning to it. It's just strange how my dreams are connecting to each other more. I mean, my other dreams did connect but not with the same actions or words said before. It never amazes me how my minds works…
"Namine, could you stop being a basket case and eat something? We have to meet up with Roxas and Sora before school starts." My ever-so-nice brother said, waving a hand in my face and his other holding a spoon.
"I'm not a basket case thank you very much." I shot back, as I lifted up my spoon to eat my cereal.
"Exactly. Riku, don't call your sister a basket case. Besides, you're the basket case." Mom said, poking her head out of the kitchen.
"Oh mother, you wound me so." Riku said, smirking. I wonder where Riku gets his insulting nature…
"Now all jokes aside, you two need to hurry up and eat." Mom said, poking her head back into the kitchen.
"Mom, the basket case wants to know where Dad is?" Riku asked, leaving me alone for a bit.
"Right here." Dad said, coming down the stairs. He was wearing his usual outfit, a suave gray suit that made him look "dashing" as Mom would say. His short blonde hair combed down and neatly framed. He was holding his briefcase and rubbing the back of head.
"Hey honey. Breakfast is ready." Mom said, poking her head out again.
"Ah…Pancakes, your mother's specialty." Dad said, sniffing the air with delight. He sat down right between Riku and I, waiting his plate.
"So Namine, Riku, how did everything go with Roxas and Sora?" Dad asked us as we were digging into our food. He didn't get home until late because of extra work so he wasn't around to hear what happened.
"It went okay." I replied, now playing with my milk.
"It was funny especially when Roxas and Namine crashed into each other. Dad, I think your daughter is growing up too fast. She is definitely digging Roxas." Riku said, smirking at me. My dad and I nearly choked on our spit when he said it. I'm without doubt going to hurt him now.
"Namine, you know how I am with you dating. I want you to be care-" Dad said before Mom decided to interrupt thankfully.
"Well I think it's time you two get to school. Love you two! Bye!" Mom said as she pushed us out the door. I sighed, thanking God and Mom that Dad didn't get to rant about "dating". Riku was laughing a little at starting it and I lightly punched him in the arm as we started to walk to Sora and Roxas' house.
-Riku P.O.V-
I couldn't resist teasing Namine like that. It was completely priceless and at the right moment too. I know it sounds mean but hey, I'm the older brother. It's my job, isn't it? Anyway, as we walking to the Hikaru resident (Sora and Roxas Hikaru if you didn't know), I decided to ask about her dreams.
"So Namine, wanna fill me in on your dream?" I asked, moving my eyes toward her.
"Well, you know how I told about the boy not looking back when I called him? When I caught up with him, I asked why he didn't see me before. He said he didn't see me but now he can. I was okay with it and all but the strange thing is he asked if I could see the "real him". I didn't quite understand it and then, I woke up." Namine told me, gripping on her backpack.
I know I should tell Namine this but I really think these dreams involve Roxas. I mean for the fact that this boy has the same features, as Roxas is too much. I thought maybe she would think about it but of course, Namine is rather how you say "slow" when it comes to these kinds of things. Don't tell her I said that either, ok?
"Well Namine, remember what I said about these dreams having a meaning or message behind them?" I asked, hoping she would catch on.
"Yeah, what do you think it could mean?" Namine asked, turning her head toward my face.
"Well think about it, the boy looks like a certain someone doesn't he?" I asked, a short smile coming on my face. I saw Namine's eyes widen up and her cheeks blush a little. Probably thought it couldn't be true or that she's having dreams about her "little" crush.
Just to elaborate for a second, my awesome skills of "common sense" tell me that obviously, Roxas and Namine are going to hook up sometime soon. I saw when we were younger that they always acted like a couple even if Sora and I were around. It was just bad karma that Roxas had to move away but look what happened, he came back. You can't tell me that isn't by luck or chance. I mean come-
"Riku, did you hear me?" Namine said, waking me out of my thoughts. Great, I think she's rubbing off on me.
"Sorry. What did you say again?" I asked, rubbing my head.
"I said, yeah but it doesn't mean anything. They look a lot but it doesn't mean anything." She said, peering down on the ground blushing still. Oh boy, she needs help.
"If you say so." I said, my trademark smirk showing out again. I was about to tell her about my it-has-to-be-something-to-do-with-Mr.-Blond-Wonder theory but we arrived at our destination. Roxas and Sora were just walking out of their front doors too. Great timing, eh?
"Hey Namine, Hey Riku!" Sora shouted running toward us, Roxas behind him waving his hand. Holy shit, Sora looks fine in that outfit. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt with a gray hoodie over top. He was running flared light blue navy jeans and…wait a minute, did I just saw Sora looked fine? Whoa, Riku, you have got to get more sleep. You just said a boy was fine. I mean, come on, girls is where it's. Especially with…
"Riku, you in there?" Sora said, waving a hand in my face. Yup, definitely going to stay away from Namine.
"Oh sorry. Hey Sora, Hey Roxas. Ready for a day at Collins Hill High School?" I asked, smiling. Smooth, Riku, smooth.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Roxas said, gripping his backpack and putting his hand into his black hoodie. He was sporting a similar outfit as Sora but not a twin thing like twin babies or something.
"Let's get going then!" Sora shouted, as he started walking to the bus stop. He sure is happy about going to school again but then again, it is going to be a lot more fun with the gang back together.
It was going to be a fun day at CHHS, that's for sure.
So how was Chapter 6? Riku finally got to speak his mind and of course, I had to hint a little "boy x boy". Don't worry, it won't be anything heavy or such but there will be more coming in the future.
Sora: How come Riku got his own P.O.V? I wanted to talk…
A'R: You will, Sora. Don't worry about it, ok? I promise.
Riku: I sense more awkward moments to approach.
A'R: -Starts laughing manically-
