Author's Note: Well here's chapter 2! It may seem kinda slow to some people, but I soon it'll get into more adventure / action, etc...I won't spoil!
Disclaimer: Well isn't it obvious what I'm going to disclaim? Fine, I'll say it...I don't own Kingdom Hearts...or any of the cute guys in it.

Kairi sat at the lunch table, eating a salad with her best friend, Selphie.
"So what's up for after school?" Kairi asked, taking a sip of her water.
"Well, I was thinking we'd go watch the Blitzball match or something, then go shopping." Selphie replied.
"Hmm...Blitzball?" Kairi asked.
"Or there's Struggle after school, plus the skateboarding competition." Selphie shrugged.
The two girls got up, chatting about a shirt they wanted from the mall. As they walked to the garbage can, they passed to boys in deep conversation about Blitzball.
"Think we can beat them?" Sora asked excitedly, wolfing down his fries with coke.
"Of course." Riku said calmly. "They don't stand a chance. They've got two girls on their team. We've got you, me, Wakka, Tidus and those two other guys."
"Biggs and Wedge." Sora said through his food.
"Yeah, their new but good. We'll kick butt."
"Hey, afterwards you wanna go down to the skate park or something?" Sora asked. "To celebrate our victory?"
Riku smirked. "Haven't won yet, but sure."
At another school, the 15 year old named Naminé sat drawing outside. She was sitting on the bench in front of the school, drawing some people practicing for the upcoming Struggle match. She was putting the finishing touches on the orbs - they were on the ground, all around a blond boy, who was quickly picking them up.
Once finished, Naminé looked up to watch the outcome of the match. A girl with brown hair passed her and looked down at the drawing.
"Nice picture." She said.
Naminé flushed and the girl walked away.
"Hey, not bad!" The brunette called to the blond playing Struggle.
"Thanks, Olette! You'd better be at Destiny High for the tournament!"
"I'll try." Olette smirked. "Good luck, Hayner. Go Twilight Tigers! Right?"
Olette didn't know Hayner very well, but she was banking on her school to win the tournament - she had a bet, that if she won, Fuu and Rai would have to do her homework. Speaking of which, she had another bet on the skateboard competition. Walking down to the skateboard park, she saw a boy with blond, very spiky hair. He was riding back and forth on the half-pipe.
"Hey, Roxie! You better win this competition!" Olette called.
Roxas stopped and kicked his board up.
"...It's Roxas." He said.
"Well whatever it is, you better win this thing."
"...Do I even know you?" Roxas asked in a confused voice.
"Nope. I just have a major bet on you winning." Olette said. Free lunch passes in this case. "So you better win!"
Olette left, leaving Roxas with a frown on his face. "Girls..." He muttered, looking up as a blond haired girl sat down on the half pipe and started sketching. Ignoring her, Roxas started practicing his ollies.
"YEAH!" Sora cheered. "Told you we'd win!!"
Riku laughed and pulled his wet hair from his eyes. "Yeah, and who shot the winning goal?"
"The score was sixteen to two, Riku!" Tidus said. "That last goal you scored hardly counts as the 'winning' goal!"
"Whatever, man!" Wakka laughed. "Let's head down to the skateboard competition!"
The four hurried away from the sphere with water in it,down to where they kept their bikes.
"Last one there splurges for ice cream!" Sora yelled over his shoulder as he pedaled away.
Kairi held her cell phone in front of her for a gloss check.
"Pravda!" Her and Selphie said, then clicked the picture.
The two quickly looked at it.
"Your new gloss is to die for." Kairi said, looking at Selphie's new cream pop pink lip gloss.
"I know, right?" Selphie gushed. "Now if we could only pick up some cute guys around here."
The two were standing around the skatepark, along with twenty or so other people, no including the ten skaters. It was a skatepark at well, a park - not at either of the competing skaters schools.
"Hahahah!" A boy's voice echoed around. "I won!"
Selphie and Kairi turned towards the source of the noise and saw four boys getting off their bikes. The one with blond hair kicked his bike, while the spiky haired boy was dancing around, singing, "I won! I won!"
"That's...Sora, right? He plays Blitz?" Selphie said. "He's not bad looking."
"He already loves Blitz." Kairi said. "You know the rule - you can't date a guy who's too into his sport - he'll pay more attention to the ball then you."
"Still, he's not bad looking." Selphie shrugged.
"Some of these skaters are pretty cute, too." Kairi said.
"Hey - doesn't the same rule apply? only wheels instead of balls?" Selphie said and the two giggled.
The competition started about five minutes later. The first three skaters was from Destiny High, then the next three were from Twilight High. Roxas was the third. As he started, he grinded the rail then went into the half pipe. He swung up one end, swung up the other and planter his board vertically on the top, holding himself into a handstand.
Naminé was sketching Roxas, looking at her paper. She didn't notice when somebody bumped her, until she slipped and slid right in front of where Roxas was about to skate down into. She heard a guy shout,
"Hey!"And someone pull her out of the way just in time. Roxas slipped and skidded down on his knees, and Naminé was looking into a boys cream brown eyes- Hayner's.
"What're you thinking?! You could have gotten hit!" Hayner said.
Roxas came over. "Is she alright?" He asked. Naminé flushed, beyond embarrassed.
"I-I'm fine." Naminé said. "I'm sorry..." She got up and was about to hurry away, when someone in the form of Olette stopped her.
"Hey! You owe me!"
Olette and Naminé stood outside the ice cream parlor a minute later, arguing. Well, Olette was mostly yelling at her.
"I had lunch tickets bet on Roxie and you messed him up!" Olette shrilled. "You owe me!"
"Hey, Towlette," Roxas started. Hayner seemed to intimidated to talk.
"OLETTE!" Olette shrilled, turning on him.
"Er...heh, yeah...just chill, alright? She didn't fall on purpose,"
"She probably did, to mess you up." Olette said.
"Actually..." A sheepish voice said. They turned to see spiky haired Sora coming over, with his silver haired companion, Riku. "Uh, I think her falling was my fault...I was kinda running to get ice cream and I think I pushed her."
"Your fault?! Then you owe me lunch tickets!!"
"Drama much!" Kairi and Selphie said simultaneously , turning away from the ice cream booth.
"Mind you own business." Olette snapped.
"Ooh, touchy." Selphie said. "Their just lunch tickets, I don't think you need them much, either."
Olette seemed ready to slap Selphie for that comment, and probably Kairi for standing there or something, but the guys intervened.
"Hey, hey, chill!" Hayner said. "We don't need a cat fight here!"
"How much do I owe you, then?" Naminé asked, coldly but shyly.
Olette held up four fingers. "Four lunch tickets."
Naminé and Sora both pulled out four.
"It was my fault." They both said.
"It was both you guy's fault." Olette said, taking two from each of them.
"Now that the 'Total Drama Island' is over, why don't we have some ice cream?" Kairi asked cheerfully. "I mean, that was the reason Sora pushed -uh..."
"Naminé." Naminé said.
"Yeah, that was the reason Sora pushed Naminé anyway." Kairi said. After a tense moment, the others agreed and got their ice cream, then sat down at a picnic table not far from the ice cream stand.
"So...do any of you guys go to Destiny High?" Sora asked.
"We do." Selphie and Kairi said.
"...Do you always answer at the same time?" Riku asked.
"No." The girls replied and Riku rolled his eyes.
"Hey, don't you two play for the Blitzball team?" Hayner asked.
Finally, common ground. They talked about the Blitz, Struggle and skateboards, before Naminé got bored and turned to Kairi and Selphie.
"So..." Naminé said shyly. "Uhm...what classes do you take?"
"The core, or as we call it, the bore." Kairi shrugged. "Home EC...you know, the stuff."
"And do you know these guys?" Naminé asked, licking her vanilla cone carefully.
"Well, everybody 'knows' them because their Blitzballer's, right? But we've never met." Selphie said. "Oh, right! You left this on the skatepark when you fell." Selphie handed Naminé a drawing pad. Naminé's eyes grew wide.
"Ohmygosh, thanks!" She said, quickly opening it and flipping through them.
"Your a really good artist." Selphie complimented. "How'd you learn how?"
"I just...can." Naminé shrugged.
"Can I see?" Kairi reached for the drawing pad. On the first page she saw a drawing of a door that seemed strangely familiar. The feeling quickly shook off. How could a door be familiar?
A/N: I wanted to wrap this chapter up, so I hope it sounded good (the last sentence I mean.) And you can tell I don't know much about skateboarding...I own one, I use it, still don't know the terms for anythin. Third chapter should be up soon, until then, you can read Invisible Heart and Lost Souls, if you want. (They're two other stories by me.)
